South Africa’s National Dialogue – What’s in it for the Working Class?

South Africa is said to be experiencing a “poly-crisis” for at least the past twenty years. Moreover, the promise of the New Dawn under President Ramaphosa after Jacob Zuma was ...removed from the presidency in 2018 has all but evaporated and the country’s polycrisis has worsened with unemployment,poverty, inequality, crime and violence increasing. The ANC also lost its majority in the last national election and is now the dominant party in the Government of National Unity (GNU).

Earlier this year the president announced that the national dialogue process would take place and the National Convention was held during 15 – 16 August to kickstart the process.

In this show we will learn more about the national dialogue and discuss the key question of, what is in it for the working class?

Today, we’re asking a tough but necessary question: Can you survive in South Africa on a social grant?
Millions of people rely on grants from the South African Social Security Agency ...
— SASSA — just to get by. From the elderly to caregivers, to the unemployed scraping through on the R370 SRD grant.
The cost of living has skyrocketed — food, transport, electricity — everything costs more. Yet grants haven’t kept up. The SRD grant? Still stuck way below the poverty line. The old age grant barely covers basic needs.
In this episode, we look at the impact of low grants on real lives and what needs to change to make social security truly just.

In South Africa, it's estimated that up to 90,000 informal recyclers collect nearly 90% of all recyclable packaging and paper. Their efforts save municipalities hundreds of millions of rands each ...and every year — yet they often remain invisible, undervalued and under compensated for their labour by society.
From the streets of Johannesburg to the informal settlements of India, millions of people rely on waste picking not just for a living, but as a way to survive in economies that have pushed them to the margins. What does a day in their life really look like? What challenges do they face?
We’ll be examining the shared struggles and solidarity amongst waste pickers in countries like India where vulnerable working-class labour is the backbone of entire economies.

George Building collapse EP13

On the 6th of May last year, a five‑storey apartment building under construction in George, on Victoria Street, collapsed. Thirty‑four people lost their lives, and twenty‑eight others were critically injured. ...Many survivors emerged traumatised, physically and emotionally.
It has been over a year since then… and families are still waiting for justice.
A new investigative report confirms what many people knew was looming: An “entirely preventable” incident, as described by the Minister of Public Works, Dean Macpherson. Cracks and structural faults were ignored. The concrete was dangerously weak. The lead engineer was unqualified—and previously reported for misconduct.
But for the grieving families and survivors—these findings can feel hollow without accountability or support.
In this show, we’ll hear directly from survivors and public officials, and in studio, we will be joined by a panel of union representatives, organisations, and legal experts. Together we’ll discuss: justice, accountability, and the urgent need for change - now—to ensure no one else dies under collapsed buildings in the future.

South African authorities began a siege of the mine in August 2024, cutting off food, water and medicine supplies, in an attempt to force illegal miners to come to the ...surface and be arrested. The blocking of key shaft exits trapped miners underground, with reports suggesting that many were unable to resurface. For months rescue efforts were stalled by the government until eventually a court order forced state authorities to mount a rescue operation on January 13 this year.Show More
