Drug abuse is a persistent social ill in our country and over time it has worsened. We have just celebrated drug awareness week and today on the show we have attorney and lecturer - Lesedi Mphahlele who is living with a chronic illness of drug abuse. He talks to us about how communities can better fight the scourge of drug abuse. Lesedi’s story is one of success and an incredible “comeback”. He not only found success in his career as a lecturer and an attorney but he in turn helps others overcome their addiction to drugs. He started an initiative called “The Change Experience”, which dealt with issues surrounding addiction, change and recovery.
Lesedi qualified as an attorney at the tender age of 23 after starting out as a
Candidate attorney with lvp attorneys and later became a director of
The firm. He grew in the industry and started his own legal firm at the
Age of 26. He now runs the law firm Mphahlele incorporated and
Works concurrently for the university of Limpopo as a lecturer and for
The school for legal practice in Polokwane as an instructor.

MEC Dickson Masemola has served in different leadership portfolios and capacities. He says that what has grounded him and continues to do so, is the loyalty that he has for the ANC. The loyalty is surely reciprocated as the ANC continues to trust him as an agent of change in the province, he says. Masemola says that any leader who is worth the position they uphold must go through character changing and altering challenges, those ultimately define the strength of one’s leadership

Considering the recently issued AG report, it was only befitting that we asked the MEC to what extent his department intervened in municipalities that have had persistent issues of under-performance and mismanagement of finances. These issues are usually brought to light by protesting members of the communities or even opposition parties in those municipalities. The MEC reassured us that as COGSTA, they have an obligation to investigate such issues and that it is an absolute shame that they are only dealt with once the members of a community have resorted to strikes and that, he says firmly will not the be the case in his term.

Affectionally known as “madam speaker” MEC Polly Boshielo says that although she is in a new portfolio, she will carry the madam speaker title forever. She starts off the conversation by telling us how she was dumbfounded when she was announced as the new MEC for education in Limpopo, being completely honest with us, she says she went straight to sleep after the announcement to gather strength for all she would be faced with moving forward. In this interview we get to know the MEC on a personal level as she talks about her sneaker collection obsession, this is before we go deeply into the hopes and aspirations she has for education in Limpopo.
