For decades, economic development has focused on infrastructure, industry and education. But a growing body of evidence suggests another factor may be just as important: healthcare. Emerging markets face increasing challenges from chronic diseases, mental health concerns, rising healthcare costs and unequal access to care. These issues affect far more than individual wellbeing. They influence productivity, workforce participation, business performance and national economic growth. As governments and businesses search for sustainable ways to strengthen economies, healthcare is emerging as one of the smartest long-term investments available. Fitness presenter, wellness correspondent and burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen discusses why healthcare deserves recognition as a third pillar of economic development. Learn how prevention, early intervention, workplace wellness and stronger healthcare systems can reduce costs, improve quality of life and unlock economic potential. This thought-provoking discussion highlights why healthier citizens create stronger businesses, more resilient communities and a more competitive economy for future generations.

South Africa's soccer team is gearing up for a crucial match against Canada in the FIFA World Cup, and the excitement is palpable.

Guest: Roscoe Williams | Programme Director at Read To Rise

At Vusizi Primary School in Limpopo, teachers are battling overcrowded classrooms, a critical lack of books, and minimal parental support — all while trying to teach children how to read. With learners expected to switch from Xitsonga to English by Grade 4, the odds are stacked against them. Yet, these educators go above and beyond, creating their own teaching materials, staying after school, and forming reading support groups — all in the hope of breaking the cycle of poverty through literacy. Today, we're joined by an expert working on the frontlines of youth literacy to help us better understand the challenges and solutions in South Africa's ongoing battle against illiteracy.

Dr Andile Nontso | Secretary general of Eastern Cape Chamber of
Business

The Eastern Cape is grappling with a growing crisis as extortion rings
increasingly target individuals and businesses, leaving a trail of violence and
fear in their wake. The recent fatal shooting of a school principal and threats
against healthcare workers have brought the severity of this issue into sharp
focus. Extortion is no longer a sporadic crime; it has become a systematic
menace that is tearing at the fabric of communities across the province. The
impact is devastating, not only for the direct victims but also for the broader
community, which is left to navigate the fear and instability these crimes
create.

The violence associated with extortion is escalating, with perpetrators
becoming bolder and more ruthless. From schools to hospitals, no one
seems safe from the reach of these criminal networks. The psychological toll
on communities is immense, as people live in constant fear of becoming the
next target. This climate of terror is not only disrupting daily life but also
stifling economic growth, as businesses operate under the shadow of
extortion threats, and essential services are being compromised.
In response, there is an urgent call for a coordinated strategy to combat this
scourge. The Eastern Cape Chamber of Business is playing a pivotal role in
advocating for stronger security measures and better protection for both
individuals and businesses. Today, we are joined by Dr. Andile Nontso,

Secretary General of the Eastern Cape Chamber of Business, to discuss the
gravity of the situation, the impact on the province, and the solutions that
are being proposed to tackle this crisis head-on.

Jan de Koning | Editor at Rugby365

SA Rugby has recently taken a significant step by securing the hosting rights
for major rugby events within the country. This move centralizes control
over the commercial aspects of rugby, allowing SA Rugby to manage and
optimize the sport’s growth and profitability on home soil. The decision also
aligns with their broader strategy to formalize an agreement with potential
American equity partners, such as the Ackerley Group. As this new model is
applied, it is expected to bring both challenges and opportunities, reshaping
the landscape of test rugby in South Africa.

The implications of this move are far-reaching. By owning the hosting rights,
SA Rugby can ensure that the sport remains accessible and engaging for fans
across the country while also boosting its financial sustainability. This
change is poised to impact everything from match scheduling and venue
selection to broadcasting rights and sponsorship deals. To explore what
these changes mean for the future of test rugby in South Africa, we’re
joined by Jan de Koning, Editor at Rugby365, who will provide insights into
how this new structure will be implemented and what it could mean for the
game we love.

Jenni Irish Qhobosheane | Researcher at the Global Initiative Against
Transnational Organized Crime

Extortion has emerged as a growing menace across South Africa, affecting
not just the bustling urban centers but also reaching into smaller towns and
communities. This criminal activity is particularly pronounced in the Eastern
Cape, where cities like Mthatha and Gqeberha have been identified as
hotspots for extortion-related rackets. The impact of this illicit practice is
devastating, contributing to a climate of fear and violence that disrupts daily
life and undermines the economic stability of entire regions.

The rise of extortion in these areas is closely linked to organized crime
syndicates that prey on vulnerable businesses and individuals. The
consequences are dire: not only does extortion lead to a surge in violent
crime, including murders and assaults, but it also stifles local economies,
driving away investment and exacerbating poverty. As crime statistics
reveal, the Eastern Cape has become a critical area of concern, accounting
for a significant percentage of the country’s murder rate, much of which is
believed to be tied to extortion-related activities.

To delve deeper into this alarming trend, we’re joined by Jenni Irish
Qhobosheane, a seasoned researcher at the Global Initiative Against
Transnational Organized Crime. Jenni will shed light on the underlying
causes of extortion in South Africa, its widespread effects, and what steps
can be taken to curb this dangerous practice.

Dominiqe Amaral-Ferreira | Property Practitioner

When it comes to selling or buying a property, understanding its market
value is crucial. But what exactly gives a property its market value? This
value is not just a random figure—it’s determined by a careful analysis of
various factors, including the property’s location, size, condition, and the

current demand in the area. Market value is essentially what buyers are
willing to pay for a property in a competitive market, making it a vital aspect
for both sellers and buyers to grasp.

Market value can differ significantly from one area to another. For instance,
properties in high-demand urban areas might fetch higher prices compared
to those in more rural or less sought-after locations. Local amenities,
schools, transport links, and even the overall vibe of a neighborhood can all
impact how much a property is worth. It’s also important to consider that
market trends can shift, meaning that the value of properties can fluctuate
over time depending on economic conditions, interest rates, and buyer
sentiment.

To dive deeper into how property market values are determined, what
factors cause these values to vary by area, and the potential risks of
mispricing, we’re joined by Dominique Amaral-Ferreira, a seasoned Property
Practitioner. Dominique brings years of experience and insight into how
market values are assessed and the critical role they play in real estate
transactions.

Alderman JP Smith | Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security

South Africa has faced extreme weather, including floods and a rare tornado in KwaZulu-Natal, affecting tourism. Climate change, driven by rising carbon emissions and global temperatures, has increased the frequency and severity of such events, hitting coastal tourism hardest.

Coastal provinces, hubs for tourism, have suffered from intense cyclones and rising sea levels, damaging infrastructure.

The 2022 KwaZulu-Natal floods caused R7bn in damage, impacting many tourism businesses and disrupting key facilities like King Shaka International Airport. The 2024 tornado and floods further destroyed holiday homes and disrupted air traffic. Inland areas like Kruger National Park also face damage from floods and droughts.

Sea level rise and storm surges threaten coastal areas, with places like the Garden Route National Park at high risk. Fires and heatwaves add to the risks for coastal tourism destinations.

To mitigate damage, tourism infrastructure needs to be climate-resilient, with improved planning, building codes, early warning systems, and insurance support.

Anne Ebrahim | Founder of Angels Baby Sanctuary

Angels Baby Sanctuary is dedicated to the welfare of abandoned, orphaned, sickly, or abused babies in our care. Love and care are our top priorities for these babies. Our partners and donors enable us to provide medical and educational care.

Angels Baby Sanctuary encourages its staff and volunteers to adopt a holistic approach to making our babies feel safe and loved in a homely environment.

OUR MISSION

The babies placed in our care are well cared for and loved with dedication, a positive attitude, and commitment.

OUR VISION

The Angel’s Baby Sanctuary is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the welfare of abandoned, orphaned, ill, and abused babies. We aim to find loving families for every abandoned baby.

Angels Baby Sanctuary has cared for 50 babies in the past eight years, of which 28 were adopted and 10 reunited with their families.

Our facility is equipped to support more babies, and we will work with stakeholders in the community to help abandoned and unwanted babies.

Esidimeni Inquest Judgement Announcement

This has been a long, heartbreaking and difficult process for everyone involved and especially the affected families. It is our hope that they may find solace and closure as they come to terms with the outcome.

The Esidimeni tragedy and today’s judgment should make us all reflect on how our healthcare stakeholders can work together to bring about systemic reform that prioritises the needs of the most vulnerable patients in our society.

We would advocate for and support a review of how healthcare services for these vulnerable patients are provided, so that we embed best practice and the highest standards of patient care.

To do this we should utilise the strengths and draw on the perspectives of the entire healthcare community, in particular the NPOs, healthcare professionals, public and private providers, vulnerable patients and their families, and civil society groups.

From this tragedy must come a better system and a renewed commitment to place quality patient care at the centre of healthcare.

Wayne Duvenage | CEO at the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse

Rise Mzansi leader Songezo Zibi has been elected chair of parliament’s watchdog Standing Committee on Public Accounts, continuing the tradition of giving the post to an opposition politician.

It was previously held by the Inkatha Freedom Party’s Mkhuleko Hlengwa, who now serves as deputy minister of transport in the government of national unity.

Rise Mzansi did not get any positions in the executive in return for joining the broad coalition and it was widely expected that the party, which won two seats in the National Assembly, would instead get to lead a key committee in the legislature.

In a statement, Rise Mzansi said Scopa “can best be described as a super oversight committee” since it interrogates how taxpayers’ money is spent.

“Scopa now has a new leader who will work with and for the people of South Africa to ensure that money is spent and accounted for in the pursuit of building a safe, prosperous, equal and united South Africa,” it added.

The Democratic Alliance will chair five of parliament’s 30 portfolio committees.

Marnus Mostert | Franchise Principal/Financial Adviser at Consult Highveld

One generation still wears skinny jeans, while the other thrifts for vintage clothing. One grew up without the internet, while the other doesn’t know what a flip phone is.

But Millennials and Gen Zs differ in more than their cultural tastes and touchpoints – they also approach money differently. In this article, I offer insights into these generational contrasts and the factors driving their financial decisions.

Millennials: Came of age during economic turbulence

Millennials, typically born between 1981 and 1996, display cautious spending habits and a strong inclination toward saving and investing. Their financial behaviour is significantly influenced by the Global Recession of 2008.

While they were trying to get a foothold on adulthood, the world’s financial systems collapsed around them, taking with it the housing market. This instilled a sense of financial insecurity, as the safety nets millennials were told to expect in life – job security, trustworthy banks – evaporated. That’s why this generation tends to prioritise financial stability, often using budgeting apps, tracking expenses, and investing in retirement savings through vehicles like retirement annuities and tax-free savings accounts.

Additionally, the rise of the gig economy has pushed many millennials to seek multiple income streams, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and a careful approach to debt management.

Gen Z: Digital natives with a focus on instant gratification

In contrast, Gen Zs, born between 1997 and 2012, have grown up in a digital-first world, making them more comfortable with using fintech apps for banking, investing, and even cryptocurrencies.

They prioritise convenience and instant access to goods and services, often facilitated by buy-now-pay-later services. This generation is more likely to seek financial education online and through social media influencers, which has shaped their approach to money management. Gen Z values financial flexibility and tends to save for immediate goals such as travel, technology, and education rather than long-term investments.

Millennials: Focus on long-term financial security

Millennials often focus on long-term financial security, aiming to buy homes, save for retirement, and invest in stable assets. They value experiences but are willing to save for these rather than seeking immediate gratification.

Gen Z: Want financial independence and flexibility – but spends impulsively

This generation often invests in new technologies and cryptocurrencies over traditional financial products. They are more inclined to spend on immediate needs and desires, reflecting their preference for short-term rewards. Gen Z uses apps and online platforms for budgeting, investing, and financial education, making financial management more accessible and efficient. They are also adept at finding and using financial resources and advice from a wide array of digital content, including social media, blogs, and podcasts.

Ganief Hendricks | Leader of Al Jama-ah

The trustees of a mosque in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), where explosive devices were discovered on Monday have labelled the incident an “attempted act of terrorism”.

They suspect the act is related to opposition to the establishment of a religious place of worship in the area.

This comes after two homemade explosive devices were found at Masjidur Rahman, Durban North.

KZN police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker said the suspects threw the devices onto the premises and fled the scene after they were interrupted by a security vehicle patrolling the area.

“He immediately suspected that it was explosive devices and contacted the necessary authorities who in turn contacted police.

‘Act of terrorism’

Masjidur Rahman’s trustees said the mosque plays an important role in the community.

“Despite initial opposition to the mosque’s establishment, it has since become a symbol of community support, providing various services such as open day programs, social cohesion initiatives, and humanitarian aid during crises like the 2021 looting and water shortages.

“The Muslim community’s contributions to Durban North’s economy and social fabric have significantly mitigated earlier misunderstandings and stereotypes. This attempted act of terrorism therefore underscores a grave concern for the Durban North community,” the trustees said.

Jannie Strydom | CEO of AgriSA Western Cape

Snowfall has been reported in parts of the Western Cape as cold and wet weather lashes the province.

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) issued a series of severe weather warnings for various provinces across the country, effective from Monday.

A Level 2 warning for snow primarily affects the central parts of the Western Cape and southern parts of the Northern Cape.

Social media reports have shown snow on mountains in Cape Winelands areas, including the Matroosberg.

Meanwhile, authorities in Cape Town say they are on high alert amid continued rainfall.

"With wet and windy weather conditions set to remain in place for the next few days, the City's traffic service urges the public to please be alert to localised flooding of roadways," traffic spokesperson Maxine Bezuidenhout said.

Johannesburg residents have also been warned to expect icy weather for the rest of the week.

City of Johannesburg EMS spokesperson Robert Mulaudzi said:

This extremely cold temperatures will force most of our residents throughout the City of Johannesburg to use heating devices to try and warm themselves in the process, leaving them vulnerable to fire incidents at home.

"City of Joburg EMS remains on high alert, monitoring all seven regions of the City of Johannesburg targeting our most vulnerable communities, our informal settlements, to make sure that we can effectively respond to all emergencies which might occur during these extremely cold temperatures."

Meanwhile, in KwaZulu-Natal, the Cogta department said it remained on high alert following a severe wind warning.

Residents in the districts of Ugu, uMgungundlovu, uThukela, Amajuba, Zululand, King Cetshwayo, and iLembe have been urged to exercise caution and prepare for the inclement weather conditions.

Wind speeds are anticipated to reach up to 70 km/h, with gusts exceeding 80 km/h. Combined with the strong winds, high temperatures are likely to exacerbate the risk of fires.

The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) said an inquest has been opened by the South African Police Service (SAPS) following the death of four of its members on Saturday, July 6 in Orkney in the North West.

In a statement released on Sunday, the SANDF said the soldiers were on duty as part of Operation Vala Umgodi - an operation that deals with illegal mining activities.

The soldiers were deployed to a 24-hour shift at Shaft 3, a dormant mining shaft in Orkney near the disused Harry Oppenheimer stadium which has been a hotspot for illegal mining.

“The deceased members were found inside a container structure which was used as a guard house for those on 24-hour duty on the morning of July 6, 2024, when the next shift was taking over the following day, upon opening the doors of the container.

“The SAPS was called in and upon inspection of the scene, all four had died, with their rifles on them and their personal items still with them,” the SANDF said.

More weather warnings have been issued as the cold front intensifies and a storm surge may result in heavy rainfall and damage to coastal infrastructure.

South African Weather Service meteorologist Kgolofelo Dube said residents in the interior can brace themselves for cold mornings with temperatures dropping to -1ºC in Pretoria -2ºC in Johannesburg and -4ºC in Vereeniging with maximum temperatures barely reaching 14ºC as the cold front moves through the interior.

SA Weather Service’s Hannelee Doubell said an intense cold front/mid-latitude cyclone would bring a significant drop in atmospheric pressure and strong winds, leading to high waves and storm surges along the west and southeast coastline between Alexander Bay and Gqeberha.

A cold front/mid-latitude cyclone is expected to cause low atmospheric pressure and strong winds, resulting in large waves and storm surge in South Africa’s west and south-east coasts on Monday, the South African Weather Service (Saws) said.

Saws said that a storm surge is when seawater rises above the projected astronomical tides due to a storm or severe weather. Surges can be positive (storm surge) or negative (negative surge).

Benedict Phiri | Managing Director at IusPrudentia Special Counsel

For the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) to clear any doubts concerning the May 29 election results, it should continue to fight to have the MK Party's (MKP) vote-rigging case heard by the Electoral Court despite the party withdrawing from the legal rodeo.

This was the sentiment of Unisa political analyst Prof Dirk Kotze after MKP leader Jacob Zuma recently claimed it had evidence “as huge as an elephant” to back its allegation that millions of votes were fraudulently handled.

“One of the things that makes us say we are withdrawing the case is because the evidence we have received is as huge as an elephant. The lawyers need more time to write everything down,” Zuma told party supporters on Sunday.

In the past Zuma has been known to make claims he fails to support.

Last week the party issued a notice of withdrawal to the court in its application against the IEC.

Kotze told TimesLIVE the vote-rigging case was vital to clear any doubts about the election results. “The bottom line is if they [MKP] have evidence, they must produce it. They withdrew the case. This means they do not have sufficient evidence to convince the court to order a rerun of the elections,” he said.

Makoma Lekalakala | Director at Earthlife Africa

Energy and electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says work is at an advanced stage to procure 2,500 MW of nuclear energy.

Speaking with the Sunday Times, Ramokgopa said that the nuclear plan aims to secure approval from the Treasury to build a 2,500MW power plant next month, with the team working on the deal finalising the procurement structure.

Ramokgopa said that internal conversations related to what type of nuclear technology should be considered, with the late technology seen as very rapid to deploy, relatively cheap and more efficient.

There are also considerations over who will operate the plant, but Ramokgopa said that Eskom will likely run the plan given its experience with Koeberg near Cape Town.

The minister said the department will have more information on the proposal by the end of August.

Ramokgopa initially revealed the intention to launch the procurement process in December 2023.

The determination was first signed off by the now unbundled Department of Mineral Resources and Energy and concurred with by Nersa in 2021.

However, after Ramokgopa received new powers following an exchange between the relevant ministries, another layer of approvals was required.

South Africa has not experienced load shedding for the last 100 days, a feat last achieved in 2021.

This is good news as building a new nuclear power plant will not go online in the near term.

The process of building a new nuclear power station takes roughly eight to ten years to build.

Koeberg is the only nuclear power station in South Africa and produces 1,860MW when fully operational.

Alan Winde | Premier of the Western Cape

The Western Cape Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning Department says the province is expecting a series of cold fronts with adverse weather conditions starting this weekend and continuing into most of next week.

Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning MEC, Anton Bredell, said the Provincial Disaster Management Centre (PDMC) was briefed on Saturday by the South African Weather Service (SAWS) on the approaching weather systems.

The weather service has since issued several warnings for heavy rains and rains:

A level 4 warning for heavy rain and potential flooding over the western parts of the Western Cape on Sunday.
A level 6 warning for high winds of between 80 and 90km/h over the western and south-western parts of the Western Cape on Sunday.
A level 4 warning for winds of between 50 and 70km/h for the Namakwa district as well as the central and eastern parts of the province.
A level 6 warning for waves between 6 and 8 metres along the coastline between Alexander Bay and Cape Agulhas from Sunday, spreading to Plettenberg Bay by the afternoon.
A level 4 warning for disruptive snowfall over the mountains of the Western Cape as well as the southern high ground of the Namakwa District on Sunday.

Bredell said the PDMC is on standby and the various municipal district disaster centres are ready to be activated if needed.

“Emergency, rescue and social services are prepared to respond to any eventualities,” the department said in a statement.

Chris van Zyl | Property Developer specializing in residential at Kreate Homes

When it comes to building vs buying a house in South Africa, everyone will have their own reasons for choosing one over the other. Ultimately, it’s about what’s right for you.

However, those unsure whether it’s better to buy a home or build one should take into whether it’s cheaper to buy or build a house, as well as other factors that can play an important role.

Cheaper to buy or build: A rundown of the costs

Once you add up all the costs, which approach is going to make a bigger dent in your financial resources? Data shows that building a home costs 20-30% more on average.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that building a new home is more expensive.

However, in the long-term, it can save money by:

Eliminating the need for costly renovation..

Saving on maintenance costs.

There’s no need to pay transfer duty.

Tax benefits, such as the ability to claim depreciation over the next few years.

A newly constructed home will be more energy-efficient.

A new home will also be more valuable, thanks to a more modern design.

Adding a garden can significantly increase the expense of building a home, but will provide a dramatic boost to its value, especially in an age where people are spending more time at home.

Other factors to take into account:

Aside from the costs involved, there are additional pros and cons to each approach.

The advantages of buying an existing home

An established property will usually be located closer to a city center than a new home (vacant stands are rare in inner-city areas). This means it will be close to schools, public transport, work opportunities, and restaurants.

An established home may already have a garden, and even a swimming pool; things you’d have to pay through the nose for in a new build.

Buying an established home is a quicker process, usually taking around three months to secure the home loan, pay the deposit and present attorneys with necessary documents.

You can employ the services of a home loan comparison service to help you secure the best deal on your home loan.

There can be profit in flipping houses, meaning you buy an existing property and fix it up before selling it at a higher price.

Jeremy Fredericks | Cricket Commentator

The Proteas have safely secured their passage through to the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup, with their final group stage match against Nepal on Saturday inconsequential to the final standings.

The match is, however, an opportunity for head coach Rob Walter and his men to find some much-needed confidence, particularly in the batting department.

The Proteas’ top order struggled in the side’s three matches at the pop-up Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Long Island, New York, which is currently being taken down.

South Africa are unbeaten in the tournament after beating Sri Lanka by six wickets, edging the Netherlands by four wickets and scraping past Bangladesh by four runs.

The victories were largely set up by South Africa’s relentless bowlers, who were ably assisted by the tricky wicket at the Nassau County ground.

The top order failed to get going, however, and were bailed out by the middle order in all three matches.

Quinton de Kock has been the most successful, with scores of 20 and 18 and a duck wedged in between when he was run out at the non-striker’s end without facing a ball.

Matthew Parks | Parliamentary Coordinator with COSATU

The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) has assured workers of efforts to defend their gains amid ongoing coalition talks and efforts to form a new government of national unity. Politics and the reflections of the general elections dominated talks at the NUM’s three-day policy conference that wrapped up in Boksburg east of Johannesburg.

Cosatu will be meeting the ANC’s Central Executive Committee to make its input on the composition of the new government as part of the tripartite alliance. NUM is one of the labour unions affiliated with Cosatu. The tripartite alliance members including Cosatu, SACP and ANC met on Wednesday in Gauteng.

This as workers attending the NUM Policy Conference strengthened their call for policy certainty and the protection of the working class in a new government that will soon be formed. The NUM gathered over 500 union leaders from across the country on a national policy conference that sits every two years in between Congress.

The theme was around the marking of 41 years of unbroken revolutionary struggle for the workers. The union says it is worried about the current political climate as it may threaten gains made over 41 years.

But NUM’s mother body Cosatu has sought to allay fears. The federation has met with the ANC and says it will form part of those who will be drafting a declaration post the formation of a new government.

Craig Wilkinson | Founder and CEO of Father a Nation

Close to sixty percent of South African children are growing up without a present and engaged father. Research shows that fatherlessness is the single biggest driver of violent crime globally. By failing to father our children South Africa has been growing an army of dangerous men. We have the highest rate of rape and gender-based violence (GBV) in the world. Our murder rate is almost 8 times higher than the USA and 37 times higher than the UK.

Men who have had an absent or abusive father grow up wounded. And if they’ve had no male mentors or role models to teach them good, positive masculinity they often have a distorted concept of what it means to be a man. Wounded men with false notions of what it means to be a man are the primary cause of masculine abuse in all its forms. This is not something that will self-correct. Wounded men raise wounded boys who become wounded men who wound. We need to break the cycle. Unless we deal decisively with this our future is in very real danger.

Father A Nation (FAN) has been working with men and boys since 2010. If we can equip and inspire enough men to use their strength to love, serve and protect, we will turn the tide against crime, violence, GBV, corruption and social disintegration and build a nation that is safe, secure and prosperous for all.

There is no greater nation building imperative for South Africa than the restoration of men.

Jan de Koning | Editor at Rugby365

The United Rugby Championship is in for an entertaining conclusion as just six points separate sixth and 10th place in the table.

In the penultimate round before the play-offs, there are two fixtures on Friday.

Zebre host Scarlets in Italy, while the match of the evening sees Munster travel to Scotland to take on Edinburgh.

The reigning champions are currently third on the table with 58 points and will want to cement their spot in the top four when they face Sean Everitt’s side.

Getting one over a desperate and determined Edinburgh will also boost their chances of a top-two ending.

However, it will be easier said than done as Edinburgh also have a lot at stake. They are seventh with 48 points and a defeat could see them overtaken by Connacht who face Stormers on Saturday.

A win on the other hand will keep their knockout fate in their own hands.

Basil Manuel | Executive Director of Naptosa

The National Assembly has adopted and passed the amended Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill, sending it off to the desk of President Cyril Ramaphosa to be signed into law.

The NA passed the bill after it was adopted by the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education on Wednesday (15 May), accepting the amendments made at the National Council of Provinces.

The NCOP adopted the bill on Tuesday (14 May) after deferring the bill last week on a technicality.

The passed bill, the amended D-bill, was adopted by all provinces except the Western Cape.

Several key issues were raised in the processing of the bill by the provinces—particularly around language and admission policies—which led to further amendments to the laws by the Select Committee on Education and Technology, Sport, Arts and Culture.

This resulted in the D-bill, which has now been passed by the National Assembly and sent to Ramaphosa for assent.

Gary Seymour | Owner of Engine Room Gym

So, before beginning a weight lifting routine, it is essential to learn the proper form for each exercise. This can be done by working with a personal trainer, watching videos online or reading instructional materials.

It’s also important to check your form during the exercises, adjusting as needed. If you’re unsure about your form, or if you’re feeling pain while lifting, it’s a good idea to stop and seek advice from a professional.

Proper weightlifting form is essential for maximizing the benefits of weightlifting while minimizing the risk of injury. By learning the proper form and monitoring your technique during the exercises, you can ensure that your weightlifting routine is safe, effective and enjoyable.

Owner and head coach of the Engine Room Gyms, Gary Seymour has spent the last two decades learning from the world leaders in their respective fields.

Gary has gone on to integrate this combined knowledge with his own first-hand coaching experience to develop the Engine Rooms training plans, methods and strategies that boast a proven track record.

Their workouts take under 60 minutes to complete.

Alot of work is being done to highlight the negative effects of raised blood pressure on overall health and to specifically call attention to the relationship between excessive salt intake and hypertension.

To this end, the Heart and Stroke Foundation South Africa (HSFSA), the National Department of Health (NDOH), World Action on Salt, Sugar and Health, Unilever and other important local and international partners have come together to celebrate World Hypertension Day (WHypD) tomorrow (17 May) in alignment with Salt Awareness Week from 15 - 21 May.

World Hypertension Day is a World Hypertension League initiative. The primary aim of this world health event is to increase the awareness of the dangers of high blood pressure or hypertension in populations around the world with the theme “Measure your blood pressure accurately, control it, live longer".

There is a focus on combating low awareness rates worldwide, especially in low to middle income areas, and accurate blood pressure measurement methods. Moreover, there is greater mobilisation globally, to ensure that those individuals who are diagnosed with hypertension and are on medication, are aware that they need to take their medication as prescribed in order to effectively control their condition.

Prof Andre Thomashausen | Prof Emeritus of International Law at UNISA

Once again, all attention will be focused on South Africa this week as it heads to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague to seek emergency measures against Israel's Rafah offensive in the Middle East region.

According to a statement released by the ICJ on Tuesday, South African lawyers will present their arguments on Thursday, followed by Israel's legal team responding the following day.

Earlier this month, Pretoria lodged a petition with the ICJ for provisional measures regarding the incursion into Rafah. The request urged the court to direct Israel to immediately withdraw its military operation and ensure unimpeded access for humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Recent reports from UN agencies indicate that nearly 450,000 Palestinians have been displaced from Rafah in recent days, with around 100,000 displaced from northern Gaza. The ongoing ground fighting and heavy bombardments by Israel have affected areas like Rafah, Gaza City, Jabalia refugee camp, and Nuseirat camp.

The situation has raised concerns among various countries and top UN officials, warning of dire consequences, particularly for the thousands of refugees seeking shelter in Rafah amid precarious conditions. Israel maintains it is striving to minimize civilian casualties amidst the conflict.

Zwelinzima Vavi | SAFTU General Secretary

The latest data released by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) on Tuesday, May 14, marks the final Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) before the upcoming polls on May 29. According to Stats SA, South Africa's unemployment rate climbed to 32.9% in the first quarter of 2024, showing a rise of 0.8 percentage points from 32.1% in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The surge in unemployment has become a major focal point in the lead-up to the 2024 elections, overshadowing previous campaign topics like gender-based violence and land expropriation.

This development deals a blow to the ruling party, which would have anticipated more favourable figures to present to voters so close to the polls. Despite a significant reduction in load shedding during the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year, with South Africa experiencing its longest uninterrupted streak of 49 days without power cuts, this improvement has had little impact on the country's unemployment rate.

According to Stats SA's presentation accompanying the data, the number of unemployed individuals rose to 8.2 million in Q1 of 2024 from 7.9 million in Q4 of 2023, indicating an increase of over 300,000 unemployed individuals between the two quarters.

Dirna Grobbelaar | Oral Hygienist

The oral care trends dentists are most excited about - from smart toothbrushes to AI

The advent of smart toothbrushes, like the Oclean X Pro Digital (recently launched in SA), marks a significant shift in personal oral care. Designed with colour screens and built-in sensors, these intelligent brushes evaluate brushing technique, offering insights into duration, pressure and any overlooked areas. Most smart brushes conveniently connect with your smartphone via Bluetooth, while the very latest harness Wi-Fi.

According to Dirna Grobbelaar, Ivohealth's Oral Hygiene Advisor, smart toothbrushes enable patients to improve their brushing technique and elevate their oral care routine. “While smart brushes can’t physically improve your brushing, they motivate and encourage you to achieve better oral hygiene and let you know when you are doing it incorrectly.”

And smart toothbrushes can go beyond just brushing; some are equipped with tongue cleaners or other features. The cutting-edge Oclean X Ultra even gives a daily weather forecast on its colour touch screen!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making significant inroads in most areas of life. At the recent Global Symposium on AI and Dentistry, William Giannobile, Dean of Harvard School of Dental Medicine, highlighted AI’s potential to revolutionise oral healthcare. Dentists are increasingly using AI to diagnose diseases and develop treatment plans.

AI is also being integrated into at-home oral care tools. The Oclean X Ultra, for instance, employs AI-powered voice guidance and bone conduction soundwave technology to function as a personal oral care coach, telling you how to improve angle, speed and pressure as you brush.

The fundamental shape of the toothbrush has been unchanged for centuries. Now, technology is driving a renaissance with innovative designs like Balene, a toothbrush with a double-sided, rotating head that cleans the inside and the outside of the teeth, at the same time. "Balene is a breakthrough for motor-impaired patients who struggle to brush correctly. In practice, we often see plaque build-up and decay where people have lost their motor ability. Balene is the ideal solution; it brushes the inside, outside and chewing surfaces of the teeth at the same time," enthuses dentist Dr Stephné Fenwick, Ivohealth’s clinical advisor.

Materials are also evolving. Instead of traditional nylon, Balene features antibacterial Tyflex® bristles which last twice as long. Oclean opts for polished TPEE which is soft, flexible and more hygienic than nylon because it dries quicker.

People increasingly demand personalised products and services that address their specific problems, tastes and lifestyles. It’s the new norm in oral care, evident from the vast array of products on shelves.

Interdental care, once synonymous with floss, now includes multiple options to clean between the teeth; from soft rubber toothpicks like GUM Soft-Picks to compact interdental brushes and rechargeable oral irrigators. For a smart solution, the Oclean W1 Smart Oral Irrigator connects to your smartphone, providing immediate feedback on any missed areas.

As rescue efforts continue at the site of the building collapse in George, the identification process of the deceased faces significant challenges due to the state of decomposition of the bodies.

Speaking to the media, Floyd Herwels, assistant director of the Forensic Pathology Service in George, highlighted the complexities of this process. While visual identification is preferred for speed, bodies in a state of decomposition require scientific methods like fingerprints or DNA analysis.

We address a growing concern on our roads – the emergence of 'blue-light gangs', impersonating police officers to prey on unsuspecting motorists.

Joining us now is Brigadier Brenda Muridili, SAPS Gauteng Provincial Head: Corporate Communication and Liaison. Last month's incident, where three alleged criminals were shot dead during a confrontation with police, underscores the severity of this issue.

Meanwhile, anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee sheds light on the involvement of rogue members within the police force in these criminal activities. Despite some progress in apprehending culprits, the threat persists, with concerns over the accessibility of police equipment to criminals.

As advice to motorists, Abramjee urges caution when approached by individuals purporting to be police officers, advocating for communication of intent to stop at the nearest police or filling station.

These incidents underscore the urgent need for collaborative efforts to combat the proliferation of 'blue-light gangs' and safeguard the well-being of all road users. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into this pressing issue.
