Research seems to be indicating that the world is experiencing a sustained, multi-year decline in emotional intelligence (EQ). Some studies and academic analyses have identified this trend as an "emotional recession," characterized by decreasing abilities to recognize, understand, and manage emotions, alongside falling levels of empathy, well-being, and resilience.

AFTER 8 IS AFTER 8: THE EMOTIONAL RECESSION: THE IMPACT OF DECLINING EQS ON SOCIETY, THE ECONOMY AND OUR FUTURE

We’re diving into a story that hits at the heart of family, culture, and the law. Many South Africans have
been following the sibling maintenance debate — a legal question about whether one sibling can be
compelled to financially support another. But beyond the courts, there’s a deeper question: from an African perspective, guided by Ubuntu, aren’t we all morally obliged to care for one another?
We explore where cultural duty ends and legal responsibility begins. Is the law simply formalising a
tradition that has always existed in our communities, or is it asking siblings to carry a burden that goes
beyond what’s expected? Stay with us as we unpack this compelling issue and hear what it really means for families across South Africa.

If you clean a government hospital, guard a public building, fix a municipal road or provide IT support to a department — but you’re not actually employed by the state — this story could change your life.
The EFF has introduced an Insourcing Bill in Parliament that could force government departments
to stop outsourcing essential services and instead hire workers directly. The party argues this will end
exploitation, cut out middlemen, and clamp down on tender corruption. But critics warn it could put even more strain on an already stretched public wage bill.
