Zimbabwean Grade 12 pupils who were displaced or failed to register for their matric exams following alleged xenophobia and bullying are being offered assistance ahead of the 2026 finals. ZEPCC says it has engaged with around 120 affected learners and made arrangements with education authorities to help them register. Africa Melane speaks to spokesperson for the Minister of Basic Education, Lukhanyo Vangqa, about what the department can confirm, who qualifies to write and what support is available to affected learners.

Zimbabwean pupils return to SA for matric exams

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5dcefa8e-00a9-4595-8ce1-a4ab0080f142/clips/bcd66090-8e0f-44ce-b7be-b4c1003a34ad/transcript

We know how to recover our muscles after exercise, but should we be thinking about recovery for our skin too? For fitness enthusiasts dealing with sweat, repeated showers, outdoor exposure and regular cleansing, skin hydration can easily become the forgotten part of the post-workout routine. On Test It Out Thursday, fitness presenter and burnout, wellness and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane on CapeTalk and Talk Radio 702 to test the thinking behind the Vitant Collagen Quench Leave-On Jelly Mask, a 10-minute leave-on treatment designed around hydration, radiance and the appearance of smoother skin. The conversation tackles one of skincare's biggest buzzwords: collagen. Vitant's own product information acknowledges that intact collagen cannot simply be rubbed into the skin and instead highlights ALGAKTIV® Collage at a 3% concentration, containing collagen-associated amino acids including glycine, proline and hydroxyprolineFitness presenter, burnout, wellness and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane on CapeTalk and Talk Radio 702 to unpack the science behind this leave-on jelly mask and its featured ALGAKTIV® Collage ingredient. Vitant says the formula contains amino acids associated with collagen, including glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, rather than claiming that intact collagen simply passes through the skin barrier. Liezel also examines Vitant's reported testing, including a study of 30 women aged 40 to 60 in which the treated side of the face was compared with placebo. The manufacturer reports 24.9% greater skin hydration after just 10 minutes, alongside changes in radiance, moisture spread and measured crow's-feet depth. But does hydrated-looking skin mean you've rebuilt collagen? And should fitness enthusiasts add a jelly mask to their recovery routine? Liezel separates measurable hydration from anti-ageing hype, explains where the product could fit after training, and shares why cleansing, moisturising and sun protection remain the foundations of sensible skincare.
