WAW! What A Week with DJ Fresh

This week on WAW! What A Week, DJ Fresh sits down with Prof Mpho Ngoepe, Unisa’s new Vice-Principal for Teaching, Learning, Community Engagement and Student Support. Then Botsang Moiloa joins for Politricks on the coalition talks after the 2026 local government elections. Prof Ngoepe went from libraries and archives to one of the most important jobs in South African higher education. He has published more than 100 journal articles, supervised 62 master’s and doctoral students to completion, and was named among the top 2% of scientists worldwide for career impact. He talks about supporting distance learners, completion rates, protecting a Unisa degree in the AI era, teaching in African languages, who preserves South Africa’s cultural memory, and why a professor writes Northern Sotho fiction and the biography of Comrades champion Ludwick Mamabolo. On Politricks: 127 hung councils, seven of the eight metros heading for coalitions, and a 22 November deadline. ActionSA holds the balance in Gauteng, MK leads in eThekwini, and the ANC weighs its options after its worst result. With voters turning out in bigger numbers, who really decides who runs your city?
