University of the Free State

Bye-bye.

That was our guest chatting to us this morning from the University of the Free State, Professor Situlego Matibisi, chatting to us about the upcoming government elections.

Thank you so much for coming through at such short notice.

Professor Anthony Turton, Emeritus Professor at the Center for Environmental Management at the University of Free State.

It's six now before 11.

Let's walk the

You're at the University of Free State now, right?

Yeah, I'm currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of the Free State.

I have two doctoral students that I work with on their projects.

I'm currently looking at cattle history after the 1960s and trying to see, look at shifts that came after the wave of decolonization in Southern Africa and what happened in South Africa after the political liberation in the 1990s and seeing what impacts and what shifts occurred there.

Do appreciate it.

And that was Professor Tula Homa Debesi, political analyst from the University of the Free State, former IEC deputy chair.

and now Executive Chair of the Institute of Election Management Services in Africa, Terence Elani, together with legal expert and senior lecturer at the Virts School of Law, Dr. Shadi Mahanwe.

You can find SAFM Current Affairs on 104 to 107 nationwide.

None of the commissioners or evidence leaders have met, spoken to or know Mr Kabonge.

And as the ANC celebrates today's concord ruling in favour of the party in the recent candidate list dispute, an expert in the field of local government at the University of the Free State, Harlan Kluter, told Jakaranda FM the party shouldn't count their chickens before they hatch.

He says today's victory doesn't resolve the ANC's broader political challenges ahead of the November 4 elections.

The ANC goes to the ballot box very fragmented.

So kicking us off, two siblings from Bloemfontein have just raised $38 million, roughly 630 million rand, for a healthcare startup that's attracting some of Silicon Valley's biggest investors.

So Uzair and Yamima Meer went to Jim Fouché High School, studied at the University of the Free State, and moved to California in 2022.

Today, their company, HealthLeap, operates out of San Francisco, with its technology already being used in more than 50 hospitals across the US.

So the idea actually came from Yamima's experience as a hospital dietician.

Currency News did report last year that the hawks had taken statements, but since then, crickets.

Paul quotes Bonong Mokale, Chancellor of the University of the Free State.

South Africa's problem is greed, and greed only has consequences when the justice system works.

These schemes rest on a calculation, Paul says, If we get caught, the gendarmerie won't wake up in time.

What about accountability now? How are you seeing this? Something to promote or turbocharge your cause or just another obvious move in a direction for South Africa?

You know, the problem, and Bonongo Harley has said this, he's the Chancellor of the University of the Free State.

The problem in South Africa is greed.

It's very clear that what motivated this deal was greed on the part of those involved.
