Newsfile to tackle S.A. xenophobia, galamsey, mine tensions and dumsor this Saturday
Newsfile is set to air an edition on Saturday, April 25, 2026, across Joy FM, JoyNews and Luv FM. The programme will run from 8:00 a.m. to 12 noon. The programme will focus on socio-economic and regional issues.
The discussions will include the resurgence of xenophobic violence in South Africa, the environmental and public health crisis caused by illegal mining (galamsey), tensions surrounding the proposed revival of the Bogoso Prestea Mine, and the national conversation on power supply, contrasting the past "Dumsor" era with current claims of "Dum Sie Sie". The discussion on galamsey is expected to highlight how polluted water bodies are affecting medical practice and religious activities, with paediatricians raising alarm over health risks and pastors reportedly unable to perform baptisms in contaminated rivers. Community concerns and agitation continue to mount amid uncertainty over operations and local economic impact at the Bogoso Prestea Mine. Analysts, policymakers, and stakeholders are expected to interrogate whether current narratives reflect lived realities or political spin regarding power supply.
Samson Lardy Anyenini will host the programme. Analysts, policymakers, and stakeholders are expected to participate. The edition is expected to attract significant public attention.
