2024 se verkiesing word, bykans soos 1994 s’n, as ’n keerpunt beskou. Wie gaan in die Uniegebou sit nadat die kruisies getel is? Is die opposisie se verwagting dat die ANC uitgestem sal word onrealisties? Is ’n koalisieregering ons voorland en indien wel, wie gaan saam met wie in die bed klim om die leisels oor te neem? Adriaan Basson en Qaanitah Hunter, skrywers van Who will Rule South Africa?, en Mills Soko, medeskrywer van The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, is in gesprek met Jan-Jan Joubert.

The 2024 election, almost like 1994, is regarded as a turning point in our history. Who will occupy the Union Buildings after the ballots have been counted? Is the opposition’s expectation that the ANC will be removed from power realistic? Are we heading for a coalition government? If so, who will hop into bed together between the sheets of power? Adriaan Basson and Qaanitah Hunter, authors of Who will Rule South Africa?, as well as Mills Soko, fellow writer of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, are in discussion with Jan-Jan Joubert.

Die wêreldklas-atleet Caster Semenya is van jongs af reeds in die internasionale kollig. Maar in die afgelope klompie jare is haar sterstatus oorskadu deur genadelose bespiegelinge oor haar vroulikheid. Dit het tot ’n uitgerekte hofgeding gelei oor haar reg om as haarself aan wedlope deel te neem. In 2020 is sy verbied om haar rekord by die Olimpiese Spele te verdedig. Deur dit alles het Caster stilgebly, maar nou is sy gereed om haar swye te verbreek en vertel sy van haar grootwordjare, haar seksualiteit en die stryd om haarself te wees.

World-class athlete Caster Semenya has been in the international limelight from a young age. But in recent years, her stardom has been overshadowed by merciless speculations about her womanhood. This led to a lengthy court case about her right to run as herself. In 2020, she was denied the opportunity to defend her record at the Olympic Games. Through it all, Caster remained quiet, but she is now ready to break her silence and share the story of her upbringing, her sexuality and her fight to be herself.

Staatskaping het Suid-Afrika laat shut down. Maar hoekom kan niemand ons reboot nie? Ons is immers nie die eerste land wat homself in ’n penarie bevind nie. Andere kon uit die puin herrys, terwyl ons in die as bly ploeter. Roy Havemann, hoof van ’n internasionale navorsingsmaatskappy wat gekonsulteer word deur private maatskappye en die Wêreldbank, sê die antwoorde skuil in ses dinge: Eskom, opvoeding, die omgewing, uitvoere, gelykheid en etiek.

Nie swart óf wit genoeg nie; sonder ’n eie kultuur en geskiedenis … In hierdie gesprek word sulke perspektiewe op hul kop gedraai. Die sprekers kyk na die komplekse geskiedenis van bruin mense in die konteks van kolonialisme, slawerny en apartheid. Maar dié besinning oor identiteit is ook ’n viering van ’n ryke erfenis, ’n uitnodiging om trots te wees en ’n wekroep om te besef watter onmisbare rol bruin mense in die toekoms van die land speel.

Not black enough, nor white enough, and without an authentic culture and history … In this discussion, such perceptions are turned upside down. The speakers examine the complex history of Coloured people in the wake of colonialism, slavery and apartheid. But Coloured identity is also a celebration of a rich heritage, an invitation to be proud, and a wake-up call to realise the vitally important role of Coloured people in the future of the country.

Die 100-jarige viering van Afrikaans as ’n amptelike landstaal word vir 2025 beplan. Terwyl sommige al feesvure wil aansteek, voel ander hulle word nogmaals uitgesluit en generasies se deelname in die totstandkoming van die taal word misken. Afrikaans word immers al veel langer gepraat as die amptelike erkenning daarvan deur wit heersers. Hoe oud is die taal werklik? En maak dit saak? Kan ons ons liefde vir Afrikaans vier sonder om ’n ouderdom daaraan te koppel?
