The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)’s Education Division and its popular television show Living Land will co-host an important groundwater management webinar in collaboration with the SADC Groundwater Management Institute on 31 August 2023.

The two-hour webinar is inspired by the World Water Week Theme: Seeds of Change: Innovative Solutions for a Water-Wise World and will unpack key messages and resolutions of the World Water Week and how we can apply those messages in the Southern African context.

Groundwater is a vital input for agricultural production and plays a central role in food security. This water source is used for over 40 percent of global irrigation on almost 40 percent of all irrigated land and has become indispensable for agriculture production.

Groundwater management aims to control the use and quality of groundwater, and to address the effects on ecosystems, surface water, land subsidence and more. Perhaps one of the most critical components of groundwater management is the control of the location and quantity of water withdrawals from aquifers.

According to Living Land executive producer Nozipho Ndiweni, collaboration with organisations like the SADC Groundwater Management Institute on critical issues like groundwater management is essential to create awareness among key stakeholders. “By pooling resources with worthy development and transformational initiatives we can deliver more value to such important causes. SABC Education and Living Land are committed to playing a leading role in informing and uplifting farmers especially in our country’s rural areas,” she explained.

Currently in production for its thirteenth series, Living Land traditionally features all things agricultural in Southern Africa, with special focus on smallholders and emerging farmers, as well as rural development throughout the region.

“For more than a decade SABC Education and Living Land have made an invaluable contribution towards inspiring black farmers to return to the land and to create wealth for our rural communities by applying proven modern agricultural techniques. Collaborations like these will ensure that stakeholders are empowered to build more cohesive communities that are able to tackle the triple threat of poverty, unemployment, and inequality,” Ndiweni added.

The Groundwater Management Webinar will take place on Thursday, 31 August 2023 from 14:00 to 16:00. The link to register to join the Webinar is: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FEx_Z61sTam2wEN0XbdOWQ

Johannesburg, 21 August 2023 – SABC1 and Generations: The Legacy welcome Aubrey Poo as the latest star to join Mzansi’s longest running Soapie. Aubrey brings a wealth of experience to the show, having starred in countless productions on-screen and on-stage. The multi-talented Aubrey will bring the natural charm and elegance which he exudes to the role of Khumo Moroka. He is a perfect fit for the role, as Khumo is a high-powered scion of the Moroka family, responsible for running their mining operations. Aubrey’s ability to play the scheming villain, with a disarming smile and cunning guile, will no doubt shine through as Khumo reaches for his vaulting ambition.

The soapie also announces the return of Rapulana Seiphemo as Tau Mogale and Connie Ferguson – who will play the nation’s forever crush, Karabo Moroka. These two need no introduction and we are sure the chemistry, class, and panache that we have become accustomed to will shine through once again.

The viewers can look forward to a blooming spring and sizzling summer as the drama, scheming and betrayal intensifies when these three powerhouses light up our screens from Mid-September. Viewers are in for a major shake-up as family battles, love triangles and boardroom maneuvers explode.

South African music, specifically kwaito music, has the most memorable and authentic lyrics and sound to date. To set the scene, it is the early 2000s and the introduction of Ghetto Scandalous, Don’t Cry, Khokhovula, not forgetting Umdlwembe all have one thing in common, the songs were all created by artist and broadcaster Bonginkosi “Zola 7” Dlamini.

SABC1 will broadcast the making of Bonginkosi “Zola 7” Dlamini’s album Umdlwembe this Sunday, 20th of August 2023, at 18:00 under the title Certified Classics.

The channel launched a series of episodes of Certified Classics on the 30th of July featuring ezase Zola artists Brown Dash and Mapaputsi, and this week SABC1 invites the viewers to tune in to the behind-the-scenes of the album that has sold more than three hundred thousand copies.

This episode celebrates the cultural impact of Zola’s debut album that changed Kwaito forever. The Umdlwembe feature, which stands just over 48 minutes long, revisits Zola’s crowning achievement in his 2000 debut album Umdlwembe. The talented musician breaks down some of his most iconic songs and shares never-before-heard stories about these fan favourites. Additional contributors will be creators and peers who bore witness to the birth of these Classic albums.

“The dream of making Umdlwembe, I suppose, is one thing that every young person wants in life, giving them that break. Umdlwembe was my big break, and at the same time, there was Yizo Yizo which I was selected to play. What I prayed for and wanted in my life happened and is what every young person wants to see. It was amazing for me as I come from a township, and in my mind never saw this happening, but in the end, we became the generation that proved that anything is possible. It gave birth to new talents who have contributed and brought satisfaction. I thank all my supporters.” – Bonginkosi “Zola 7” Dlamini.
