World Osteoporosis Day was observed on 20 October, putting the spotlight on the importance of bone health, early detection and prevention.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weaker and less dense, making them more fragile and increasing the risk of fractures. What makes it particularly concerning is that it can develop without noticeable symptoms, meaning many people only discover they have it after breaking a bone.

So, how do we protect our bones, who is most at risk, and what can we do to reduce our chances of developing osteoporosis?

To help us unpack this, we’re joined by Dr Marius Roos from the Institute for Osteoporosis at Louis Leipoldt in Bellville, a specialist practice focused on the assessment, prevention and management of osteoporosis.

The Cape Town Society for the Blind was established in 1929 and has spent decades helping people develop practical skills, build confidence and work towards greater independence. From Braille and computer literacy to career development, entrepreneurship and employment support, the organisation works to ensure that visual impairment does not have to stand in the way of opportunity.

But what does it take to turn skills training into meaningful employment, and how can we create a society that is more accessible and inclusive?

Our eyes play such an important role in how we learn, work, connect with others and experience the world around us, yet eye health is something we can easily overlook until there’s a problem.

Today Sandile Buthelezi Engagement Officer Craig Bowen General Manager at OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation tells us why regular eye checks matter, the importance of early detection and how we can make eye care more accessible to those who need it.

Scammers are getting smarter, and sometimes the biggest red flag is the fact that the message, phone call or email looks completely legitimate.

It could appear to come from your bank, SARS, a delivery company, your employer or even someone you know. These scams rely on impersonation and social engineering to make you trust the person on the other side before they ask for your money or personal information. SAPS warns that phishing and fraud scams commonly impersonate trusted organisations to obtain sensitive information.

And with Cybersecurity Awareness Month putting the spotlight on staying safe online, we’re asking: How do you spot the scam before it costs you?
