What you will hear:
(01:41) Government has tabled a revised offer of a 1.5% salary hike and a R978 cash gratuity for a year in a bid to end the stalemate in the public sector wage negotiations. This after almost three months of deadlocked talks at the Public Sector Co-ordinating Bargaining Council, as the state previously insisted on a 0% salary hike and a wage freeze for the next three years — citing a fiscal cliff.

(14:10) The ANC’s “cash crunch” and its political implications. Is it possible for the ruling party to function without funds? What could this mean for its political future?
