Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Sanele Gamede, Career Consultant and Lecturer at UJ’s Department of Communication and Media, as the country weighs in on the fallout from Judge Selby Mbenenge’s tribunal where calling female staff “big girls” or “children,” paired with emojis and casual compliments, has sparked a national debate about workplace boundaries, professionalism, and power. While some messages were left out of the initial complaint, forensic evidence revealed hundreds more, raising questions about what’s appropriate at work, how digital communication complicates intent, and when banter becomes harassment especially when it comes from the boss.
Bongani makes sense of the news, interviews the key newsmakers of the day, and holds those in power to account on your behalf. The team bring you all you need to know to start your day
