AFTER 8 IS AFTER 8: The Impact of Materialism on How We Choose Our Role Models

In South Africa there are 23 suicides a day recorded and 230 serious attempts. More than 1 billion people are living with mental health disorders, according to new data released by the World Health Organization (WHO), with conditions such as anxiety and depression inflicting immense human
and economic tolls. As we move into 2026, mental wellness is more critical than ever. The landscape is rapidly changing, with a complex mix of new difficulties and groundbreaking solutions.
In essence, 2026 will see mental health becoming deeply embedded in daily life and organizational culture, driven by personalization, technology, and a broader understanding of well-being.

From politics and the upcoming local government elections to mental health trends and careers in tech, we’re gearing up for 2026! First we look at Polictics in 2026! We’re heading into an election year so the different politicians and political parties will be on our doorsteps and timelines trying to get our attention.

Which parties will make their mark by gaining a metro? We discuss all this and more.
