Caller Hazel Gubb from Cedar House School in Kenilworth joined Lester Kiewit to talk about the school’s restorative justice program. Hazel explained that restorative practices are not a soft option. “Consequences are very real, but the reality is people become the focus of the system. We focus on the people who were hurt, what harm was done, the impact this has on the greater community and how we can make this better,” she said. Reflecting on the recent Molderton case, she highlighted the importance of including victims in the process, addressing systemic issues, and helping young people understand and change their behaviour.

Cape Town’s tourism boom has delivered record numbers, but much of the spending continues to favour luxury and fine-dining, leaving many small, community-based food businesses behind. Dennis Molewa, Founder of Unexplored Cape Town, speaks to Lester Kiewit about Tourism 2.0, a new model aimed at creating a more inclusive and equitable tourism economy. Molewa explains how the initiative, in partnership with the Western Cape Department of Economic Development and Tourism and UCT’s Hasso Plattner d-school Afrika, uses design thinking to help black, brown, and diaspora-owned food businesses access the city’s booming visitor market. He shares insights from recent student-led challenges, exploring concepts from digital tools for small kitchens to heritage-food markets, and emphasizes the need to move beyond extractive tourism toward long-term community partnerships. Molewa highlights that the work is about ensuring Cape Town’s culinary growth benefits all, preserving culture and identity while giving visitors a deeper, more authentic experience.   Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show.  This programme is your authentic Cape Town wake-up call.

South Africa’s arts community has raised serious concerns after Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie withdrew artist Gabrielle Goliath’s acclaimed performance work Elegy from the country’s pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale. The work, which confronts gender-based violence and collective mourning and most recently honoured Palestinians in Gaza, had been unanimously selected by an independent curatorial panel. In response to McKenzie’s decision, more than 920 artists and cultural workers signed a statement of solidarity with Goliath, including Mark Gevisser, Pumla Dineo Gqola, Imraan Coovadia, Penny Siopsis, Sue Williamson, Itumeleng Wa Lehulere, Rosie Motene, Athi Patra Ruga, and Andrew Buckland. Signatories accuse the Minister of censorship, undermining constitutional freedoms, and allowing personal political views to interfere in cultural governance. Author C A Davids speaks to Lester Kiewit about why the collective is calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to intervene and why recent decisions by the department, including the defunding of the National Arts Festival, signal wider harm to South Africa’s arts ecosystem.   Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show.  This programme is your authentic Cape Town wake-up call.
