Three years after our initial Covid-19 lockdown and while the virus has seemingly become a thing of the past, the debt pandemic which it seems to have created continues on as S.A consumers are warned of getting into a debt spiral.
According to the latest Eighty20/XDS Credit Stress Report the fourth quarter of 2022 showed an increase in appetite for credit among South Africans, with more than 800,000
new entrants into the credit market over that period, at the same time though the number of people in default on their repayments also increased.
Research from National Debt Advisors showed that between March and December 2020, 80% of the finances in South African households were negatively impacted as a result of lockdown, job losses and a subsequent interruption of income, which led many to running towards credit.

Many South Africans will most likely not be able to watch the SONA this year as the rolling blackouts continue to ravage our daily lives and the economy, and this will no doubt be top of mind for the president as he makes his address later this evening.
While the energy crisis no doubt remains the most urgent matter facing the country, the president’s speech will have to answer many other questions as the country draws back on progress made since we became a democracy.
These include addressing the 33% unemployment rate, resolving inequality, improving education, dealing with the Gender-Based Violence crisis, attracting investment, reducing fruitless expenditure and fighting corruption in government that’s happened under the rulership of his party and has cost the country hundreds of billions.
He’s had a few of these already, however the situation seems to be worsening every year, so what does he need to say tonight that will gain many people’s confidence? The team was joined by political analyst Khanyi Magubane for more on this.

The heat is ironically on for Eskom and the South African government as pressure mounts from all quarters of the country regarding the energy crisis which is quickly turning into an energy disaster as the threat of a complete blackout looms.
Affecting the power utility’s ability to generate enough electricity for the country are multiple power station breakdowns, planned maintenance and a lack of cash especially needed for more diesel in order to run the expensive open cycle gas turbines (or OCGTs) that Eskom has relied on to keep the lights on thus far.
So there’s a lot going on here and while a small percentage of South Africans can resort to installing solar power and inverters in their homes, for most they’ll remain reliant on Eskom’s ability to generate power.
So what are the solutions and options facing the government and Eskom? What can they do to improve the situation in the medium term and what should the focus be long term? We’re joined by Energy Analyst - Ruse Moleshe.

The second Presidential Summit on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide wrapped yesterday after two days of engagement between government, individuals and groups who continue the fight against this scourge on a daily basis. Multiple activists have lamented that it’s taking the government too long to create and develop the necessary laws and resources needed to fight GBV which president Ramaphosa has described as a pandemic facing the country.

Meanwhile back here at home, research by Fairwork South Africa found that gig workers continue to earn low wages, and are subjected to a lack of benefits and security that should be rightfully afforded to them.

The Department of Home Affairs says this comes after their research found that their tariffs were three times lower than other countries when benchmarked against them and the production cost of making the passport is more than the amount people are paying for it.
The department also argues that it’s mostly those who are financially well-off who travel outside the country so they shouldn’t be paying a subsidised fee.
Based on this we want to look at the expense of travelling abroad vs travelling locally; is the perception that travelling locally can be more expensive than going overseas true? The team was joined by Mosidi Mothei - co-director at Twin Travel Tandem for more on this.
Load shedding is something we’ve been faced with the country for well over a decade now and it has gotten worse over time. This weekend was the first in a month where we were not faced with blackouts, however, it’s back on again this week and it won't let up. It’s definitely causing us stress and anxiety in many ways, from the need to keep up with a different schedule daily and messing with our routine, to not being able to the extra financial costs incurred, it’s definitely getting to many of us mentally and emotionally? So we want to look at that and how we can go about dealing with it.

Government workers could be downing tools as a result of a wage dispute between government and trade unions who are asking for higher wages than the government is offering at this point.
Wage negotiations are something we see come up all the time through the collective bargaining process which is the process of negotiation between employers and workers, aimed at reaching agreement on issues that affect them.
Trade unions fight for the rights of workers who are their members, but what about those of us who are not unionised and in some instances not protected by labour laws. From a legal perspective, how can we go about trying to get increases? Is there a legal way for us to strike? The team was joined by employment law expert - Tshepo Mokoana.

The Bill, which is currently going through Parliamentary process, is set to remove smoking areas in indoor areas and other public spaces including cars and homes where non-smokers are present; it will stop the sale of cigarettes at vending machines, regulate the sale of e-cigarettes and other vaping products, as well as require plain packaging of cigarette products displaying graphic health warnings about smoking.

The ruling ANC is currently building up towards its 2022 Elective Conference which, among other things, will decide on the party’s highly contested executive positions, including their presidential candidate for the 2024 General Elections.

The rand has continued to weaken reaching a low we haven’t seen since 2020 this past week, as the US dollar continues to dominate global markets.
At the same time high inflation pressures, inside and outside of the country, have driven the South African Reserve Bank to continue increasing the repo rate which is now back at pre-pandemic levels.
Central Banks across the globe are implementing more aggressive measures to fight the worst global price increases we’ve faced in years. So what does all this mean for us and should we be worried about the rand? We chat to Economist - Isaah Mhlanga.

The National Senior Certificate, which is what public school learners receive upon completion of their matric, is up to standard when compared to similar school leaving qualifications in other parts of the world. This is one of the findings of a study done by Umalusi, a council that sets and monitors standards for general and further education and training in South Africa.
The study found that while the matric certificate is appropriate it could make curriculum improvements in subjects like mathematics by putting more emphasis on ICT skills, and by separating chemistry and physics, which are taught in one subject currently. For more on this the team was joined by Umalusi CEO - Mafu Rakometsi.

Anti-discrimination laws that should be addressing the issue of equal pay for equal work are seemingly not yielding that result of fair pay, this is according to researchers at Stellenbosch Business School.
The research found that the laws are simply not enough in aiding employees to question unfair pay policies and structures, as many struggle to even prove that they are being unfairly paid.
Between 1998, when the Employment Equity Act became law, and 2020, only 26 pay discrimination claims were lodged at the CCMA, and of that 26, only 3 were ruled in favour of the employee.
There’s now a call for employers to have more pay policy transparency, and how can employees become better equipped to address pay gaps? The team was joined by Cindy Ross - Employment Law & Labour Relations expert from Imani Consult.

Following the 2018 Constitutional Court ruling which decriminalised the private consumption, possession & cultivation of Cannabis, there seems to be some progress in the commercialisation of this industry.
Just recently, a local medical cannabis-focused firm became the first to get the greenlight to list on the JSE, meanwhile a Cannabis Lekgotle was hosted by the North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and stakeholders had the opportunity to discuss ways to fast track the industrialisation of the Cannabis industry.
However, some groups are lamenting the slow pace of government in passing laws that would regulate and further legalise the trade of cannabis in the country, as no laws have been passed since the 2018 ruling. Joining us for more on this is Industry expert - Natie Ferreira.

SARS is currently trending following an announcement by the revenue body that it would be targeting people who purchase luxury apparel, as a way of finding out where they are getting their money and whether that income is being declared to SARS.
While SARS is looking at those who are making grand purchases but not declaring their income, we want to take a look at those who are making grand purchases even though, in reality, they can’t afford them.
Multiple research reports and available economic data indicates that many South Africans are living beyond their means, and some of us probably don’t realise it. In fact one major financial institution found that it takes about 5 days for middle-income consumers to spend about 80% of their salary. So how can we go about identifying that we’re living beyond our means and how can we rectify that situation? The team was joined by personal finance expert, Rose Nkabinde - COO at Financial Journey.

There’s been some reaction to the announcement by Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, that the government would be introducing new driver’s licence cards which would replace the one we currently use, that was introduced in 1998. The new driver’s licence cards will have more secure design features that are compliant with international standards, and will be rolled out starting with a pilot phase this November. The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse, or OUTA, has kept a keen eye on licences in the country and has welcomed the new licences, however, they are also continuing to question the period of licence validity, wanting it to go from 5 years to 10 years. The team was joined by OUTA Ceo - Wayne Duvenage for more on this.

September is National Wills Month, and this is an important issue as statistics indicate that many South Africans don’t have wills. Let’s face it, death is a reality and a will is a document that will help a person to set out what they wish must happen to their estate when they die. A recent study indicated that around 75% of black South Africans don’t have wills, which could have dire consequences especially for those who have children and partners they are not married to. For young professionals, it seems many don’t have wills because they haven’t accumulated much as yet and don’t have any descendants. The team explored the importance of wills and why young people in particular should be getting them. They were joined by an attorney from The Law Society of South African - Amanda Vilakazi.

You might have caught wind of this on the socials, Tik Tokers, mostly Gen Zs, are taking to social media to share how they are “quiet quitting”.

“South Africa’s working women have made progress in achieving equal pay for equal work, but the financial scales are tipped against them by the country’s tax system that treats women and men equally, but with unequal results.” This is the finding by Dr Lee-Ann Steenkamp, Senior lecturer in Taxation at Stellenbosch Business School. More than 40% of South African households are headed by a sole female breadwinner, while far more children (41.7%) live with single mothers than with single fathers (4.4%), meaning that the added tax liability of single households falls predominantly on women. According to Steenkamps research VAT, the country’s second-largest tax revenue stream, falls disproportionately on women. The team spoke to Dr Steenkamp.

As you’ve heard, the presidents announced multiple interventions this week that will help South Africa increase its power generation capacity in the hopes of putting the load shedding days behind us.
Some of those interventions include the scrapping of licence requirements for private energy projects that feed into the grid. Eskom will begin to buy power from private generators of power who have surplus power.
The government will also look at adjusting regulations that will improve the financial viability of green energy solutions such as solar and wind power generation projects. Businesses and homes that have installed solar power panels will also get the opportunity to sell their surplus power to Eskom.
Government will also be looking for proposals when it comes to battery storage. So what are the business opportunities for me and you here and how will this help existing businesses? We'll be joined by energy expert Ruse Moleshe MD at RUBK (pronounced Guse) next.

Fuel prices continue to be a hot topic and now the government is seeking public comment for its proposal to deregulate the price of petrol in South Africa. The price of petrol is currently decided by the government. The Minister
of Mineral Resources and Energy, Gwede Mantashe, asked for comment on his “intention to introduce a price cap” for 93 octane. Deregulation could mean that retailers would be able to vary the price through discounts and bundle purchases which will possibly increase PRUNA, on the other hand other stakeholders could affect jobs and consumers might find themselves in a position of pouring their own fuel or pumping their own tyres. Reggie Sibiya - CEO of the Fuel Retailers Association spoke to SABC news and here are some of the things he had to say about the impact of deregulation.

The bigger problem though is building a relationship with mom, I’m struggling with letting her in and don’t know how to go about it.”
Google might need to make changes to their search results as per recommendations made in the Competition Commission’s Online Market Inquiry - provisional report.

The Inquiry provisionally recommends that paid results are prominently labelled as advertising with borders and shading to be clearer to consumers and that the top of the page is reserved for organic, or natural, search results based on relevance only, uninfluenced by payments.

“Hi WakeUp team. My name is Kabelo. I'm 40years old and started my fitness journey back in 2017 due to a health scare (heart condition). I used to go to the gym at least 4 to 5 times a week and started building muscles on my legs and upper body, until 2020 when the pandemic stopped everything. I then gradually started running as a way to keep healthy. My challenge is I've not been able to balance the two and feel running makes me lose weight rather than gain any muscles. I need help in finding a balance between the two and start building some lean muscles while I enjoy my running and getting a proper meal plan for these. Please hook a brother with a trainer.”

Parliament’s Justice Committee has started three days of hearings into South Africa’s new cannabis bill, which was drafted after private use of the plant was decriminalized in 2018. The new draft bill outlines possession rules for users and people who wish to cultivate it – however, points of contention remain. One of the key hangups is that the buying and selling of cannabis seeds, oils, and the plant itself remain illegal, arguably making the private use freedoms questionable. - What are some uses of cannabis that people use?

YOUTH DAY SPECIAL - WHAT DO YOU THINK IS STOPPING
YOU FROM GETTING A JOB? • South Africa has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world with 63% of its young people between the ages of 15 and 24 years jobless. • A large proportion of these young people have never worked in the formal economy. • As research in many parts of Africa, including Kenya, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe has shown, unemployed young people use a wide range of economic strategies and practices to acquire an income. • The survival strategies often include running car wash ventures, fixing people’s cars as informal mechanics, and renting back rooms or shacks. • These livelihood strategies rarely constituted a formalised business or enterprise.

WHAT’S NEWS: SYSTEMATIC RACISM IN SCHOOLS
It’s 2021, 27 years into South Africa’s democratic dispensation, and
racism is still playing out in the country’s schools. • Just this month there have been numerous stories of racist behaviour, separatist language policies, and parents fighting for equal treatment of children in public schools. • This is happening despite legislative changes since the end of apartheid, along with noticeable change in the demographics of former white and private schools. • The problem is that genera assimilatory practises where black students are expected to think, look and speak like their white peers still exists. • Many formerly whites only schools also show little flexibility in accommodating the identities and worldviews of students from other race groups.

The cash-strapped National School of the Arts (NSA) has been offered a lifeline after Universal Music SA donated R1.5m to prevent it from shutting its doors. The leading specialist arts school in the country announced in August that it was facing possible closure due to economic uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The school receives R3m each year from the government’s school of specialisation budget that goes towards enhancing curriculum delivery. It also gets funding of R2.8m from the department of education. “Things were dire and stressed in terms of money. We were down to probably our last R200,000 in the bank with monthly expenses of R1.3m. This generous donation will see us get to the end of the year,” NSA principal Gary Natali said.

On that day, a significant number of taxpayers can expect to receive a sms that SARS has prepared their tax returns for them, and that a draft assessment is available on eFiling or Mobiapp to consider.

It’s been almost a year since Kwesta offered local fans ‘Vur Vai’ and today, he takes them back to the hood with a two tracks under the umbrella ‘2 Skeif’ with the singles – ‘Njandini’ and ‘The Finesse’ featuring Riky Rick. The Mzonkonko influenced street banger, ‘Njandini’ produced by the Makwa, who gets a shout out on the song for always blessing the masses with world class production. The charmed duo has given us smash hits such as Ngud’, Spirit, Vur-Vai and Kwesta’s recent international features‘Run It Up’ and ‘I Came I Saw’.
For those that are not familiar with uNjandini it is a character that most people, who grew up in South African townships, glorified for not living by the rules. They are usually the bravest among the pack. uNjandini is always the one willing to do whatever it takes to reach a goal, even if it means going against popular opinion. He/She outsmarts their opponent by initially playing the fool but they will always have the last word. Even though the name has a notorious reputation, uNjandini is also the person who has taken their perceived weaknesses and made them strengths.

The Credo Mutwa Foundation has confirmed the passing of the 98-year-old. The Foundation is yet to release a statement with more information. Meanwhile, the family of the Sanusi has asked for space during this time.
RENOWNED TRADITIONAL HEALER, AUTHOR CREDO MUTWA (98) DIES Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa was known for his sculpture work that he left at the many places he lived in around the country, as well as, his predictions of events such as the Marikana massacre in 2012. He was born on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal on 21 July 1921. He was born to a Christian mother but his father believed in African tradition and culture, which embraced the ancestors. In his book, Indaba, My Children, Mutwa detailed how he fell ill in his teenage years and when western medicine failed to heal him his paternal family took him and introduced him to the use of umuthi. He claimed he was then awakened to his path of becoming a sangoma. Mutwa had been vocal about the use of traditional African medicines for the treatment of HIV/Aids and cancer. It's believed that during his lifetime, Mutwa had predicted the 9/11 bombing of the Twin Towers, Chris Hani's assassination, and the ousting of former President Thabo Mbeki. At the time of his long illness and his death, the self-professed Sanusi was living with his third wife Virginia in Kuruman in the Northern Cape. - EWN INTERVIEWEE: Political Analyst & Healer, Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi

AFRIFORUM TO REPRESENT SENZO MEYIWA FAMILY IN BID TO SOLVE MURDER Lobby group AfriForum has appointed Advocate Gerrie Nel to lead its investigation into the murder of Senzo Meyiwa. The former Bafana Bafana captain was murdered in 2014 but no progress had been made in the murder case. Police have failed to make an arrest, with Police Minister Bheki Cele saying he’d been reassured by the NPA that it was still investigating the case. AfriForum said that it had met with the Meyiwa family on Monday where they asked the lobby group to investigate Meyiwa's murder. CEO Kallie Kriel said that the Meyiwa family needed justice and South Africans deserved a criminal justice system that worked. "If embarrassing the criminal justice system leads to them upping their game and making sure there is justice for people that die, then this will be worth it." Advocate Nel would be leading the investigation, with Advocate Tiger Mamabolo on his team. "The family has been through a lot. Five years is not child's play. Let's take our civic duty and do what is right and see that justice is done." Kriel said they were not taking the case over from the police but would work alongside the investigators on this case.

Parents in Gauteng say the process of finding space for their children for the 2020 academic year is frustrating and chaotic. The department has now extended placements for grade one and grade eight pupils to 30 November.
Aggrieved parents say the online admission process is flawed. “This [online] system must fall, we are very frustrated as parents, we didn’t go to work, we are tired of this thing,” said one parent. “Government must come up with a plan.” Other parents have called for the department to return to the old manual and physical application system. Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi will give a briefing about the challenges with the placements process on Monday afternoon.

South Africa’s reading crisis South Africa ranked last out of 50 countries in the 2016 Progress in International Reading Literacy (PIRLS) study which tested reading comprehension of learners in their fourth year of primary schooling. The study found that 78% of South African pupils at this level could not read for meaning. A year later, research by the University of Pretoria told a similar tale - eight out of 10 Grade 4 pupils “still cannot read at an appropriate level”. South Africa’s reading crisis is a topic of ongoing debate and several strategies for improvement have been proposed: promoting a culture of reading; encouraging parents to read to their children; making books accessible in schools and improving initial teacher education. Addressing the problem by increasing access to books and developing a reading culture is helpful but only to a limited extent.

Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, who presided over the case, said that the defence of reasonable chastisement was inconsistent with the Constitution. “We can conclude that the common law defence with, among others, the provisions of Sections 10 and 12 of the Constitution and is therefore invalid," he said. The case was brought last year by Freedom of religion South Africa against a High Court ruling which effectively declared all forms of corporal punishment by parents on their children unlawful. The court had found a father guilty of assault after he beat his 13-year-old son in what it said was a manner that exceeded the bounds of reasonable chastisement. Freedom of Religion South Africa argued that parents should be given the right to discipline their children without the interference of the state. - EWN WE CHAT TO: Mbuleli Kolisi Director @ B M Kolisi Attorneys (BMK) based in Benoni and JHB

I have been in business for 3 years and I love what i do. I aim to make a lasting impression with every cake and ensure that the outside is as good as the inside.
CHALLENGES: 1. Capacity - I get too many orders every week and end up rejecting many due to minimal capacity and wanting to maintain quality since there are only 2 of us, I have employed one assistant. I have tried to employ more people however its difficult to find the right people who are committed. 2. Country wide requests - Being on social media, i get orders from all over the country, which unfortunately i cannot accept because i can only deliver around Gauteng. If there was a safe way of using the courier to deliver cakes, I would opt for it. 3. Delivery costs - I stay in Soweto and not everyone is able to collect so I deliver limited to certain areas. How do I decide and calculate delivery cost without losing out myself and without charging too much?

It’s another conflict resolution wednesday on fresh breakfast. What’s in a name? According to stats sa, for a third year in a row, junior took the top spot as the most popular name for boys in south africa in 2016, followed by blessing and gift. On the girls' side, precious walked away with the honours for a second year in a row, displacing iminathi; followed by princess and amahle. Do you like and live up to your name or are you in conflict with your name? There’s usually an age when people start appreciating their african names more than their english names. Then there’s nicknames, do you hate yours or does it describe you to the t? What is your relationship with your names? Arte you one of those people with one name? Are you one of those people who inter-change their names depending on where you are or who you’re with? Do you have to use your englisg name because your boss just can never pronounce your name? Has the office slightly altered your name because they don’t want to cut their tongue trying to pronounce the q? What’s your relationship with your name?

How is having a relatively unhealthy staff compliment affecting productivity? Why are you over weight? Is it in the genes? Are you struggling with a diet? Are tyou perhaps comfortable with your weight despite what other people think?

Trevor Noah said it guys. Slay where you are and America or the world will find you. Amazon is such a big platform right? It’s like the disruptor in the entertainment industry. In fact they even have these big studios they’ve built in Hollywood and they’re slowly eating away at traditional TV revenue and talent. It’s always expected that when a series is doing well local channels will buy the content but now it’s about to happen the other way round. South African produced drama-thriller obsessions is set to make history when it becomes the first local series to air worldwide on amazon's video streaming service, amazon video. The series the story of a young group of friends who are harassed by a stalker determined to destroy their lives & will premiere on amazon's international video service in may 2018 and run for 22 weeks.

DA LES DROPS A NEW SONG TOMORROW.
DA LES IS ALWAYS DROPPING NEW MUSIC AND THE SONGS ARE ALWAYS ACTUALLY LIT.
HE MADE NEWS A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN HE POACHED FAMILY TREE’S KEY PRODUCER
GEMINI MAJOR.
AND NOW HE’S DROPPING A JAM, DA LEZ WELCOME TO FRESH BREAKFAST…
HE’S AN ENTREPRENEUR WITH A HEART OF GOLD.
BY GOLD WE MEAN MONEY-DRIVEN AND SUCCESSFUYL. YESTERDAY WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT NOT SEEING SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL AS INSPIRATION
BECAUSE OUR JOURNETYS ARE ALL DIFFERENT.
HIS JOURNEY, HE DROPED OUT OF FIRST TERM OF HIGH SCHOOL ..
TODAY HE MAKES $38MIL AND HAS COMPANIES IN 14 COUNTRIES EMPLYING HUNDRENDS
OF PEOPLE.
THE ZIMBABWEAN HASN’T EVEN CELEBRATED HIS 30 TH BIRTHDAY YET.
WE ARE MAD ABOUT HIM AND HIS H&G ADVERTISING GROUP.
SHE’S QUITE EASILY THE BIGGEST NAME IN HOUSE MUSIC RIGHT NOW.
SHE’S GONE THROUGH SO MANY NAMES AS SHE TAPED INTO DIFFERENT SIDES TO HER
TALENT.
FORMERLY KNOWN AS AFRO JAY IN HER HEY DAY.
THOSE CLESOST TO HER CALL HER YAMI.
BUT TO YOU AND I SHE IS LADY ZAMAR.
SHE HAS LENDED HER VOCALS TO SOME OF THE MANY CURRENT HITS IN HOUSE MUSIC
FROM “MAMELODI” TO CRIMINAL BY DJ MSHEGA TO CHARLOTTE BY PRINCE JAYBEE.
LADIES AND GLENTLEMEN, LADY ZAMAR..
I’M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT I HOPE NOT.
USING PARKING BAYS RESERVED FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
A WESTERN CAPE MALL HAS FOUND A WAY TO STRIKE BACK AT ABLE-BODIED SHOPPERS
WHO NAB DISABLED PARKING BAYS.
WATERSTONE VILLAGE‚ IN SOMERSET WEST‚ FILLED A ROW OF PARKING BAYS WITH
WHEELCHAIRS AND MOBILITY SCOOTERS‚ PREVENTING CARS USING THEM.
SIGNS ON THE WHEELCHAIRS BORE MESSAGES SUCH AS “I’M JUST QUICKLY DRAWING
MONEY”‚ “SEE YOU IN TWO MINUTES”‚ “I CAN PARK WHERE I WANT TO” AND “IT WAS THE
ONLY OPEN SPOT”.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXCUSES PEOPLE USE WHEN THEY PARK IN BAYS RESERVED FOR
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
ARE WE DUMMING OUR KIDS DOWN?
- THE DEPARTMENT OF BASIC EDUCATION HAS PROPOSED DROPPING THE REQUIREMENT FOR
GRADES 7‚ 8 AND 9 TO PASS MATHS AND REDUCING THE PASS MARK FOR HOME LANGUAGE.
- THE PROPOSAL SUGGESTS PUPILS CAN OBTAIN A PASS MARK OF 40% INSTEAD OF 50% FOR
HOME LANGUAGE IN THESE GRADES.
- DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN ELIJAH MHLANGA SAID THE PROPOSAL STILL NEEDS TO BE
DISCUSSED BY SCHOOLS‚ PARENTS AND INTERESTED PARTIES.
-
HOW ARE YOU REDUCING PASS MARK FOR HOME LANGUAGE, YOUR MOTHER TONGUE??
-
PUPILS ARE NOT REACHING THE STANDARD‚ SO IT IS BEING BROUGHT TO THEM‚ AS
OPPOSED TO THEM BEING PUSHED TO SUCCEED.
- NATIONAL TEACHERS UNION PRESIDENT SIPHO NGCOBO SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT
SUPPORT A MOVE THAT ESSENTIALLY “LOWERED STANDARDS” FOR PUPILS.
WHAT IS A SMART CITY?
WHY IS SOUTH AFRICA STILL BEHIND REGARDING WIFI AND INTERNET ACCESS?
ONE WOULD THINK IF THISIS TO HAPPEN CITIES LIKE JOBURG AND CAPE TOWN WOULD BE
LEADING THE PACK, YOU THINK NOT?
WHAT IMPACT WILL HAVING SMART CITIES HAVE ON PRODUCTIVITY IN GFENERAL AND THE
ECENOMY AT LARGE?
HOW FAR ARE WE FROM HAVING SMART CITIES AND WHICH AREAS WOULD LIKELY LEAD
THIS REVOLUTION?
WHAT CHALLENGES HOLD BACK THIS MOVE, WHO ARE THE REAL STAKEHOLDERS, IS IT THE
DEVELOPERS OR THE MUNICIPALITIES OF THESE CITIES?
HE’S A RAPPER AND A TV PRESENTER.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN HIM ON VUZU.
HE WAS ALSO ON THE HIT REALITY TV SHOW THE HUSTLE.
HE’S A MUSCLED BABE MAGNET AND EYE CANDY TO MANY.
HE’S ON THE HIT SONG MAYO MAYO BY DJ SPEEDSTA.
TO HIS MAMA HE IS SHANE HUGHES BUT TO YOU AND ME HE’S SHANE EAGLE.
HE’S WORKED WITH THE LIKES OF AKA AND JR WHO STILL MENTOR HIM.
MUST WE MAKE PEACE THAT WE WILL NEVER REACH OURSELVES, THERE’S A SONG THAT
SAYS “IVE NEVER BEEN TO ME”; ARE OUR PERSONALITIES FLUID AND CHANGING ALL THE
TIME?
WHO SHOULD BE HAVING A BATTLE WITH WHO WE ARE, IS IT THE PEOPLE THAT INTERACT
WITH US OR SHOULD WE BE IN CONFUSION AND CONLFLICT WITH OURSELVES, DO WE
KNOW OURSELVES ANY MORE THAN THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE WITH US?
WE GROW, WE MEET DIFFERENT PEOPLE, WE GET BETTER JOBS, WE MARRY, WE BECOME
PARENTS AND ALL THESE THINGS OBVIOUSLY BRING OUT A DIFFERENT PERSONALITY IN US,
SO BASICALLY WE ARE OUR COMPANY, HOW MUCH SHOULD WE ALLOW THESE FACTORS TO
AFFECT WHO WE ARE?
IS THE CONFLICT WITH ONESELF A FIGHT TO DEATH OR CAN WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE
SAY WE NOW KNOW WHO WE ARE, OR IS IT ALWAYS IN RETROSPECT AND A SUMMATION OF
THE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES OVER THE YEARS?
WHEN PEOPLE SAY “I KNOW MPHJO/ANGIE/SOMIZI; THEY WOULD NEVER DO THAT” IS THAT
EVEN SOMETHING TO SAY GIVEN HOW PEOPLE CHANGE, BECAUSE SOME TIMES WE GIVE OFF
A PARTICULAR PERSONALITY TO PARTICULAR GROUP OF PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY’VE MADE IT
CLEAR THAT’S THE PERSONALITY SIDE OF MINE THEY ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT, BUT DOESN’T
MEAN THAT’S ME?

THE MOVIE PREMIERED IN AMERICA A FEW DAYS AGO BUT THE INTERNATIONAL RELEASE IS

THIS IS USUALLY THE CASE WITH TRUE LIFE STORIES ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SUBJECT IS
DECEASED.
THERE’S DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE FILM’S PRODUCERS AND DIRECTOR JOHN
SINGLETON.
TWO THINGS STAND OUT, ONE, ACCORDING TO JOHN SINGLETON IS THE SCENE WHERE
TUPAC WATCHES HIS MOTHER AFENI HAS “ADULT FUN” WITH ANOTHER COUPLE.
AND A SCENE WHERE TUPAC WAS LOCKED IN THE LIBRARY BY THE PRISON SECURITY WITH
OTHER INMATES AND WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED AND ASSAULTED, TO PUT IT MILDLY.

PLEASURE AND PRIVILEGE OF INTERVIEWING HER IN-STUDIO ON #THEWKLNDR SATURDAY
BREAKFAST SHOW 6-10AM.
VUYO MUNCHUSI – CLINICAL POSYCHOLOGIST
PILOT QUESTIONS:
THERE’S A SONG THAT SAYS THE YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG, DO WE REALISE WE ARE
YOUTHFUL A BIT TOO LATE GENERALLY AS PEOPLE, DO WE TAKE OUR YOUTH FOR GRANTED
UNTIL IT’S ABOUT TO RUN OUT?
WE OFTEN GET TO AN AGE WHEN WE ARE NOT SURE IF WE STILL WANT TO BE YOUTHFUL OR
GROWN, IS THERE A REAL DIFFERENCE, CAN’T WE BE GROWN AND STILL MAINTAIN OUR
YOUTH OR DOES SOCIETY REFUSE US THIS PRIVILEGE??
WHAT IS THE STRUGGLE VUYO, MUST WE ACT MORE OUR AGE OR MUST WE FOLLOW OUR
PERSONALITIES, WHAT SHOULD GUIDE OUR BEHAVIOR MORE?
DO YOU FIND IT’S WOMEN WHO GET TO LET GO OF THEIR YOUTH EARLIER THAN MEN, ARE
WE MORE PLAYFUL TO A FAULT IN THE LATER AGES?
AT WHAT POINT IS IMMATURITY CREEPING IN, WHERE BEING YOUTHFUL IS AN EXCUSE TO
JUST BE CHILDISH AND IRRESPONSIBLE?
THE SAY IT GOES DOWN IN THE DMS.
SOCIAL MEDIA HAS MADE IT SEEM A LITTLE EASIER TO REACH OUT TO YOUR FAVORITE
CELEBRITY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
AND INSTAGRAM IS WORSE BECAUSE YOU CAN DM ANYONE EVEN IF THEY DON’T FOLLOW
YOU BACK.
SO I CAN IMAGINE CELEBRITIES LIKE DRAKE AND JLO MUST HAVE THEIR DMS GOING CRAZY
ON THE DAILY.
BUT ONE FAN AFTER A HEAVY BREAK UP DECIDED WHY NOT SHARE THAT WITH RIHANNA
AND ASK FOR ADVICE.
RIHANNA FAN @WaladShami DECIDED TO DM THE WILD THOUGHTS SINGER AND TELL HER
ABOUT HIS BREAK UP AND HOW HE WAS STRUGGLING WITH IT SINCE IT WAS HIS FIRST.
AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?
RIHANNA DECIDED TO RESPOND…
“JUST BELIEVE THAT THE HEARTBREAK WAS A GIFT IN ITSELF, CRY IF YOU HAVE TO, BUT IT
WON’T BE FOREVER! YOU WILL FIND LOVE AGAIN, AND IT WILL BE EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL!
IN THE MEANTIME ENJOY ALL THAT YOU ARE!!!!"
IT’S TUESDAY AND WE ARE TALKING #FRESHMONEY.

LAST WEEK YOU SPOKETO VIKA MPISANE FROM ZA DOMAIN NAME ABOUT HOW YOU TRIED
REGISTERING .FRESH BUT SOMEONE ELSE HAD TAKEN IT.
BEYONCÉ JUST GOT HIT WITH A MINOR BLOW IN HER LAWSUIT TO TRADEMARK BLUE IVY,
WHICH IS ALREADY OWNED BY A BUSINESSWOMAN NAMED VERONICA MORALES.
MORALES HAS OWNED THE NAME BLUE IVY -- THE NAME OF HER EVENT PLANNING
COMPANY -- SINCE OCTOBER 2012.
SHE INITIALLY REGISTERED FOR THE NAME IN FEBRUARY 2012, WHICH WAS ONE MONTH
AFTER BEY AND JAY'S DAUGHTER OF THE SAME NAME WAS BORN, COINCIDENTALLY.
B AND JAY ARE AGUING THAT MORALES JUST WANTS TO CASH IN USING THEIR ELDEST
DAUGHTER’S NAME UNFAIRLY.
BUT MORALES FOLLOWED EVERY STEP IN THE BOOK AND TRADEMARKED THE NAME FAIR
AND SQUARE.
I WONDER IF ANYONE HAS TRADEMARKED SOMGAGA AND HUUU SHEEM…
