Have you ever wondered who makes sure that our higher education institutions provide learners with quality education? Who checks that your qualification means something, not just locally, but globally too? That organisation is called the Council on Higher Education (CHE)… or simply, the CHE. Sizwe Diba from CHE joined us in this conversation.

As the world rapidly advances through the era of the  Fourth Industrial Revolution, technology is becoming  more integrated into our everyday lives than ever  before. From artificial intelligence and smart devices  to automated homes and digital identities, innovation  is reshaping how we live, work, and connect. But alongside these advancements comes a growing  concern around cybersecurity, privacy, and digital  safety. While many people focus on large-scale cyberattacks and data breaches, there are important  issues we often overlook, particularly the human  element, the safety of connected homes, and the  risks associated with AI-powered systems.

Africa’s maritime and blue economy sector continues to  grow as a major driver of trade, employment,  infrastructure development, and regional integration.   With more than 90 percent of the continent’s imports  and exports transported by sea, the maritime industry  plays a critical role in shaping Africa’s economic future.  However, despite this growth, persons with disabilities  remain significantly underrepresented across maritime  employment, enterprise development, leadership, and  decision-making spaces. The Maritime Indaba for Persons with Disabilities seeks  to change that narrative by positioning disability  inclusion as a central part of Africa’s maritime  development agenda. T

Joining us is Lebo Seoheng, who serves as  the Advocacy, Communication and Prevention  Manager in the National Responsible Gambling  Programme. As concerns continue to grow around underage  gambling and gambling addiction among young  people, the programme has been engaging schools  through its Taking Risks Wisely School Edition  campaign, aimed at educating learners about the  dangers of illegal gambling, peer pressure, risky  behaviour, and the importance of making informed  life choices. This initiative also focuses on harm reduction,  emotional wellbeing, and ensuring that young people  understand the support systems available to them  and their families.

It is time for another exciting episode brought to you by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) with SABC Education. Today we will be talking about Pre-2009 Qualifications (also known as legacy qualifications on the NQF). The aim of this show is to create awareness among learners and everyone that from 2012 onwards, pre-2009 qualifications (those registered under the SAQA Act 58 of 1995) have undergone successive extensions on their registration end dates. A final transition from pre-2009 qualifications to Occupational Qualifications was called for by the Minister of Higher Education and Training in 2020in Government Gazette 44031, It is important that the general public understands the transition from pre-2009 qualifications to the current Occupational Qualifications registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), bringing clarity to the lifespan of these registered qualifications.

The Department of Basic Education has published the draft BELA regulations on the management of learner pregnancy for public comment, opening up an important national conversation about how schools respond to learner pregnancy, learner rights, and the responsibilities of educators and parents alike. The proposed regulations aim to ensure that pregnant learners are not excluded from school, while also setting out clearer procedures for support, accountability, and child protection, especially in cases involving minors. To help us unpack what these draft regulations could mean for schools, families, and learners here in the province, we are joined by Velani Mbiza Gola, spokesperson for the Eastern Cape Department of Education, and media liaison officer for MEC Fundile Gade.

We turn our attention to a growing threat that is quietly  making its way into our communities, counterfeit goods that go  far beyond fake labels and cheap knockoffs. From food sold  on the streets to illicit alcohol and everyday household  products, these items are not only undermining the economy,  they are putting lives at serious risk. Across South Africa, authorities are raising concern about the  dangers linked to these goods, including serious health  complications like Foodborne illness and even Alcohol  poisoning. At the same time, this illegal trade continues to fuel  criminal networks and strip the economy of much needed  revenue. To help us unpack the scale of this issue, the risks involved, and what is being done to protect communities; we are joined  by Brigadier Nobuntu Gantana, Provincial Police Spokesperson in the Eastern Cape.

We bring you another informative episode of Khetha brought to you by the  Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) in partnership with SABC  Education, this is episode 15. As you know, we have spoken about Apply Now in the  Previous weeks emphasized the importance of applying early. Once again.  Today, we are talking about "Apply Now: Health Sciences." Applications for careers or  Qualifications in the Health Sciences faculty close early, around May/June, for admission  to study the following year. Hence, learners must be aware of the  application processes and other requirements. 

Today we’re diving into the future of South Africa’s oceans  economy and the opportunities it holds for young people  across the country. Through initiatives like the South African International Maritime  Institute Winter Programme, there’s a growing effort to build  awareness, develop skills, and open doors into the maritime  sector, an industry that’s critical to economic growth, job  creation, and sustainability. To unpack this, we’re joined by Dr. Malwande Nkalitshana,  currently serving as the Acting Head of Advocacy, Stakeholder  Partnership, and Communication. He is widely recognised for  his leadership in maritime development, particularly in Advancing the oceans economy and marine spatial planning.

As we close off Autism Awareness Month, the conversation is shifting from simply raising awareness to deepening understanding, especially around neurodiversity and what it really means for children and their development. Neurodiversity reminds us that there is no single “normal” way for the brain to function. Instead, differences in how children learn, communicate, and experience the world are part of natural human variation. One of the most recognised examples of this is autism spectrum disorder, which presents uniquely in every child. For many families, the journey can come with questions about early signs, diagnosis, support systems, and how best to nurture a child’s strengths while navigating challenges. It also calls on communities to move beyond labels and create more inclusive, supportive environments for neurodivergent children to thrive.

Bohlale Buzani kicks in to get into what it means coming together as a collective to buying land and taking up space to be a part of the economy. Later, we get into conversation with Tando Canham as well as Sande Dotyeni.

In a country where talent often rises against the  odds, one young South African is quietly making his  mark on the global motorsport stage. At just 14 years old, Aashay Nagura is already  competing internationally, going wheel-to-wheel with  some of the best young karting drivers in the world.  From raising funds through a community raffle to buy  his very first second-hand kart, to racing in the UK  and Italy, his journey is one of grit, discipline, and  undeniable determination.

It is time for another enlightening episode of Khetha, brought to you by the Department of Higher Education and Training in partnership with SABC Education and trufm. SABC education, enriching minds. Enriching lives. We are on episode 14, namhlanje we bring you a conversation that could shape your future. Across South Africa, there is a growing demand for skilled hands, creative minds, and practical problem-solvers, people who don’t just dream about change, but build it. From keeping our lights on, to protecting our water systems, to constructing the infrastructure that drives our economy, artisans and technicians are at the heart of it all. And right now, the country is calling on young people, especially young women, to step forward and take up these opportunities. Welcome to “It’s cooling to be a Female Artisan”, a focus on Artisan Development and Technical & vocational   careers a programme that challenges outdated perceptions and opens doors to real, rewarding careers in the technical and vocational space.

Another insightful episode of Khetha, brought to you by the Department of Higher Education and Training in partnership with SABC Education. As part of our ongoing commitment to empowering young people, job seekers, and lifelong learners, today we bring you an important discussion designed to help you better understand the opportunities available within South Africa’s Post-School Education and Training system.   The PSET system plays a critical role in shaping the country’s future workforce and supporting inclusive economic growth. Through the leadership of the Department of Higher Education and Training and the support of its Career Development Services, individuals are guided to make informed decisions about their education, training, and career pathways.   Today’s topic is Understanding the PSET System — a foundational discussion for anyone planning their future beyond school. Many young people are uncertain about what options exist after Grade 9 or Grade 12. University is often seen as the only pathway, yet the PSET system offers multiple routes designed to suit different talents, interests, and career goals.   In this episode, we unpack what the PSET system is, who it serves, and how it is structured. We explore the different institutions that form part of the system — including universities, TVET colleges, Community Education and Training colleges, Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs), and skills development providers. We also explain how funding opportunities such as NSFAS support qualifying students, and how occupational programmes, apprenticeships, and learnerships contribute to practical skills development.

We’re diving into something that quietly  shapes every part of our lives, the decisions we  make. From the big, life-changing choices around  career, relationships, and money, to the small,  everyday ones we barely think twice about, our  ability to make smart decisions isn’t just about being  logical, it’s deeply tied to our psychology.  But what actually makes a decision “smart”? Is it  about outcomes or the process behind it? And how  do things like our emotions, upbringing, stress levels,  and even mental fatigue influence the choices we  make?  To help us unpack the foundation of smart decision making, we’re joined by Dr Nolwazi Kwinana-Ludidi,  a specialist psychiatrist who takes a functional  approach to mental health. Her work focuses on  getting to the root cause of mental health challenges,    rather than simply treating the symptoms, which  gives her a powerful lens on how and why we make  the decisions we do.

Our topic today is Self-Knowledge and Career Interest. Today we are going to discuss the importance of having Self-knowledge and how that can help one to understand their career interest to make an informed career decision. We welcome our guest to the show!

Today, we’re reflecting on a truly eye-opening visit to  SANCCOB in Gqeberha, where we got to learn more  about the incredible work being done to protect some  of our ocean’s most vulnerable bird species,  especially the African penguin. Once a common sight along South Africa’s coastline,  The African penguin is now facing a very real fight for  survival. From food shortages and oil spills to climate  change, habitat loss, and human activity at sea, their  Numbers have dropped drastically over the years,  placing them on the brink of extinction in the wild. Our visit reminded us that these birds are more than  just beautiful and unique; they are an important part  of our marine ecosystem and a symbol of just how  Fragile ocean life has become.

Money struggles can affect every part of a person’s life,  from the ability to secure housing, buy a car, and grow a  business, or simply move forward with confidence. And for many South Africans, a poor credit record can  become a barrier that feels almost impossible to  overcome. But what if rebuilding your financial future started with  understanding your credit, knowing your rights, and  Having access to the right tools and support? Today, we’re joined by Izelle McHugh, a visionary  entrepreneur, financial literacy advocate, and  A community empowerment leader, who is helping people  take back control of their financial lives through her  platform, Fix My Credit. Every Friday, we have Bohlale Buzani come in for the  Roundup, where we will look at issues affecting us in the  province, Africa, and the world in finance & Commerce

Today, we turn our attention to the Quality Learning  and Teaching Campaign, an initiative aimed at  strengthening education and improving learning  outcomes in our schools. Recently, the QLTC Induction in East London  brought together key stakeholders, education  officials and committee members to map out plans  and activities that will be cascaded to schools, all  to enrich the learning experience for  learners. To help us unpack the significance of this campaign,  what it means for schools, and how it will impact  teaching and learning on the ground, we are now  joined by Dr Chris Mdingi, Director of Stakeholder  Management & Citizen Care Services

Violence continues to affect the lives of many young people in South Africa, whether in homes,  schools, communities, relationships, or public spaces. And while young people are often among  those most impacted, they are also some of the most powerful voices for change. On the 10th of April 2026, a Youth Dialogue on Addressing Violence in South Africa will bring  young people together to reflect, engage, and come up with practical, youth-led solutions to  violence in our communities. This initiative is being shaped in partnership with Gun Free South Africa, the South African Youth Council, and the International Peace Youth Group, organisations committed to youth  leadership, peace building, and safer communities. Today, we unpack why these conversations matter, what violence is really doing to our young  people, and how youth can become active peace ambassadors in the fight for safer and more  inclusive spaces. On the line we will be joined by Mr Mosuli Cwele

Every Friday we will be looking at Finance & Commerce. So, we will be speaking on and to people making moves in this space. We will cover world news on issues that affect South Africa in finance and commerce and later we will be doing a round-up on this you should know around this. We have an innovative tech entrepreneur joining us.  Innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology continue to redefine what is possible, and today we’re joined by someone who is actively building that future from the Eastern Cape. Our guest is Pat Hanise, Director of TIVRA a South African techentrepreneur, Android app developer, and innovator based in East London. With a strong foundation in IT and content development, he has gone on to establish several businesses while carving out a space for himself in the world of emerging technology. He is also the founder behind an exciting electric vehicle vision and has received funding support from the IDZ to develop a prototype EV, a move that places him among a growing generation of African innovators reimagining transport, sustainability, and home-grown manufacturing. Today, we unpack the man behind the vision, the journey behind the innovation, and what the future could look like.  

Today’s episode is brought to you by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) in partnership with SABC Education. Today, we will be talking about how Grade 9 learners choose appropriate subjects that will enable them to follow the career paths they want to pursue after completing Grade 12. We have a guest from the DHET who will tell us more about “Subject Choice” as one of the most critical decisions that learners make during their high school journey.

As artificial intelligence continues to shape the way we live, work, learn and connect, the big question is no longer whether AI is here, but how we make it work for us, with us, and for the betterment of our communities. From the classroom to the workplace, from business to everyday life, technology is moving at a rapid pace, and many are trying to understand what that means for the future, especially as we find ourselves in the era of the 5th Industrial Revolution, where human intelligence and technology are becoming more closely connected than ever before.

Our country faces specific skill shortages that have a major impact on economic growth, service delivery, and opportunities for young people. According to the Department of Higher Education and Training, understanding skills in high demand is essential for planning, training, and labour market interventions. We were joined in the studio by our guest speaker from the Food & Bev SETA.

Today we’re joined by an inspiring leader who is using both her voice and her actions to make a real difference. Ntombozuko Matshamba is a two-time award-winning author, youth advocate, and the Founder and Executive Director of the Inkanyezi Matshamba Foundation. Through her books, including her award-winning debut Umabuy’ Ekwendeni and her children’s title Inkanyezi The Star: Empowering Young Minds, she has positioned herself as a powerful voice for healing, growth, and purpose among young people. But her impact goes far beyond the pages. Through her foundation, she leads community-driven initiatives that support and uplift young people and vulnerable families, from school programmes to empowerment campaigns. She’s now taking that work even further with an upcoming youth initiative titled “Literature in Action,” focused on helping young people navigate rejection and turn pain into purpose. We’re excited to unpack her journey, her passion, and what young people can expect from this powerful initiative.

As South Africa marks World Social Work Day, the spotlight turns to a quiet but urgent crisis in  our education system, the retention gap.  Recent insights from the Department of Basic Education and civil society reveal that nearly  422,000 learners who started Grade 1 in 2014 never made it to their final NSC exams. That’s not  just a statistic, it’s a story of disruption, disadvantage, and, in many cases, unseen trauma.   This year’s global theme, “Co-Building Hope and Harmony: A Harambee Call to Unite a Divided  Society,” challenges us to look beyond academics and into the support systems that hold  learners in place or fail to.

This is week 8 of the Khetha programme and we are having a very important conversation  that affects many young people across the length and breadth of our country, the Post-School  Education and Training space, commonly known as the PSET sector.  The results of the 2025 matric class have recently been released, and many young people  are now exploring opportunities to enter higher education institutions. This is a significant step  for those who want to continue their studies, develop practical and relevant skills, and prepare  themselves to participate meaningfully in the job mark. We focused on an important area within this space, Quality council for trades &  occupations-accredited occupational qualifications. We will unpack what these qualifications  are, and importantly, how prospective students can verify whether a Skills Development  Provider is properly accredited to offer occupational qualifications, part-qualifications, and  skills programmes.

We are unpacking something that affects every single one of us, the national budget. Beyond the speeches, the big numbers, and the political debates, what does it really mean for ordinary families trying to make it through the month? With rising costs, pressure on household income, and growing concerns about savings and retirement, many people are asking the same question, how do we stay financially secure in times like these? To help us break it all down in practical, everyday language, we are joined by our guest who will help us understand the real impact of the budget on our pockets, and more importantly, what we can actually do about it. This is not just about policy; it is about your payslip, your grocery basket, your savings, and your future. Let’s get into it. On the line, we have Mr David Molotsi a financial advisor at Momentum financial planning.

topic is Apply Now! In 2012 the Department of Higher Education and Training launched the Apply Now! Campaign. The Apply Now! Campaign is aimed at encouraging high school learners to apply on time for admission to post-school institutions and thus avert possible stampedes and long queues that take place at the beginning of each academic year.The Career Guidance component of the campaign seeks to inform learners about career choices available within the post-school sector. We are joined in the studio by our guest speaker from the Department of Higher Education and Training.

Literacy is often described as the foundation of all learning, yet across South Africa, too many  children are still struggling to read with meaning in their early years of schooling. Today, we are  unpacking what it really takes to build strong readers, from the classroom to the home, and from  community action to national policy. Joining us is Stanford Ndlovu, an education practitioner and literacy advocate whose work  focuses on early-grade reading, home-language learning, and strengthening education systems.  He is the Special Projects Manager at Masinyusane, where he works on the Zazi iZandi literacy  programme, supporting Grade R and Grade 1 learners to build strong reading foundations in  their mother tongue

In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, setting out  17 Sustainable Development Goals designed to tackle poverty, inequality, climate change, and  injustice across the globe. More than a decade later, the question becomes, what do these goals  really mean for us here in South Africa? How do they speak to our realities of unemployment,  service delivery challenges, gender-based violence, education gaps, and economic  transformation? we unpack how this global framework translates into local action, and what progress, if  any, we are making as a country toward meeting these targets by 2030. To help us make sense of it all, we are joined by Stanford Ndlovu, who will guide us through the  2030 Agenda, its relevance in the South African context, and what it will take for us to truly  ensure that no one is left behind. Stanford, welcome back. Thank you so much for joining us.

Khetha, brought to you by the Department of  Higher Education and Training (DHET) in partnership with SABC Education. As part of us  commitment to ensuring that young people, job seekers, and lifelong learners make informed  choices, today we bring you another important discussion that supports your journey through  the Post-School Education and Training (PSET) system. The PSET landscape in South Africa is rich with opportunities, and the DHET’s Career  Development Services (CDS) aims to empower individuals with accurate, reliable, and up-todate information. Today’s topic focuses on Private vs Public Higher Education Institutions key  area that affects many young people as they transition from school, pursue further education.  Today we are focusing on helping our listeners understand the difference between public and  private higher education institutions in South Africa. The DHET oversees all registered and  accredited institutions to ensure quality learning. However, many young people often feel  confused about whether private colleges are legitimate or whether public universities and  TVET colleges are the only safe option. In this episode, we explore how the DHET regulates the sector, what learners should check  before enrolling, and how both public and private institutions contribute to skills development  in the country. We will guide you on understanding accreditation, programme quality, cost  implications, and employment outcomes—so you can make an informed choice that suits  your aspirations.

Today’s discussion focuses on Navigating the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, commonly known as NSFAS. The DHET acknowledges that financial barriers remain one of the biggest challenges preventing access to post-school education and training. NSFAS exists to provide financial support to eligible students from poor and working-class households who wish to study at public universities and TVET colleges. Understanding the NSFAS application process, requirements, and responsibilities is essential for learners planning their post-school journey.

we shine a light on the power of young people and the role they play in protecting our environment. We’re joined by Wilderness Foundation Africa, an organisation that has spent years working with communities and young people to build confidence, skills and a deeper connection to nature. Through their EcoCrusaders projects, they’re not only teaching environmental awareness, but they’re also shaping responsible, confident young leaders who understand that caring for the environment starts right where they live, at home, at school and in their communities.  

It is time for another informative episode of Khetha, brought to you by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) in partnership with SABC Education. As part of our commitment to ensuring that young people, job seekers, and lifelong learners make informed choices, today we bring you another important discussion that supports your journey through the Post-School Education and Training (PSET) system.   The PSET landscape in South Africa is rich with opportunities, and the DHET’s Career Development Services (CDS) aims to empower individuals with accurate, reliable, and up-to-date information. Today’s topic focuses on I did not make it, now what? —a key area that affects many young people as they transition from school, pursue further education, or enter the world of work.   Not everyone passes Grade 12 the first time—and that can be devastating to a learner who had their sights set on pursuing post-school and education and/or employment opportunities. Today, we remind our listeners that your matric results do not define your entire future. The DHET proposes?? multiple pathways for young people who need a second chance.

Welcome to another informative episode (2) of Khetha, brought to you by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), in partnership with SABC Education and trufm. We focus on Transitioning from School to the Post-School Education and Training system. The DHET recognises that moving from the structured environment of school into post-school education, training, or the world of work can be challenging for many young people. This transition requires not only academic readiness, but also emotional preparedness, life skills, and awareness of available support services. Learners must adapt to new learning environments, increased independence, and different expectations. Career Development Services play a key role in supporting this shift by providing guidance on study skills, time management, learner support services, and realistic career planning to improve access, retention, and success in PSET.

Khetha brought to you by the Department of Higher Education and Training is back.  Episode 1 gets into Understanding Your Matric Results. The DHET acknowledges that receiving National Senior Certificate results is a critical moment for learners across the country. These results determine access to different opportunities within the Post-School Education and Training system. Understanding subject levels, pass types, and admission requirements is essential for making realistic and informed study choices. A matric result is not an end point, but a gateway to multiple pathways, including universities, TVET colleges, skills programmes, and occupational learning. Through Career Development Services, learners are supported to interpret their results accurately and explore pathways that align with their performance, interests, and career goals

We are having an important conversation about the boychild and the growing  concern that he is being left behind. We often speak about policies, schools, and modern  pressures, but today we also turn our attention to tradition and culture. What did our  traditions teach us about raising boys, shaping character, and guiding young men into  purpose and responsibility, and what happens when those systems begin to fall away? To help us unpack this, we are joined by Lungisani Gcaleka Sikholo, who will share insights  on how traditional values and community structures viewed the boychild, and what lessons  we can reclaim in addressing today’s challenges. 

We turn our attention to the fight against gender based violence, a crisis that continues to claim lives and leave deep scars in our communities. We are joined by the Nokwanda Patocka Foundation, an organisation born out of loss but driven by purpose. The foundation was established in honour of Nokwanda Maguga Patocka, whose life was tragically taken in a brutal act of gender based violence in the Eastern Cape. Through advocacy, awareness and practical interventions like self defence and education, the foundation is working to empower young people and ensure that Nokwanda’s story becomes a catalyst for change rather than another statistic.

In South Africa, family maintenance involves financial support obligations between family members, particularly following separation, divorce, or in situations where a child is born outside of marriage. Maintenance ensures that dependents—especially children—receive adequate support to meet their basic needs.Maintenance is regulated by several laws, including:The Maintenance Act 99 of 1998The Children’s Act 38 of 2005The Divorce Act 70 of 1979.   There are so many dynamics to this. - Spousal support for unmarried couples that are in cohabitation.- Maintenance via the other spouse when the parent is unemployed or is unable to pay the support. - Going via the grandparents if the said parent is unemployed or is a minor.
