It’s actually not that people don’t want kids. In fact, most do.

The real challenge is that rising living costs, unfair gender expectations, and uncertainty about the future are making it really hard for many folks to start or grow their families the way they want.

The report describes this as a real fertility crisis.

And while they may differ depending on where you might find yourself playing, they’re all connected by their power to connect.  
You may have found yourself thinking about a childhood favourite game you once loved but stopped playing as you grew up and life got busier.

Experts say for many, returning to childhood hobbies and games is more than a new form of entertainment but rather an escape from daily stressors.

We talk to Theophilus Chabalala, Chairperson of WOMan (Well- Organised Man), an NPO that uses the power of sports to foster social change and uplift communities and Sports and Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Keitumetse Mashego about the importance of adult play...

What are the benefits of adult play?

As part of the First Thursdays On Loveday programme, a groundbreaking group exhibition has just opened at the Weedlovers Market in Johannesburg.

Titled ‘Past, Present and Future’, this evocative exhibition, curated by Khaya Madungandaba and presented by Express:ON, invites us to reckon with our country’s journey since 1994. From the painful legacies of apartheid to the struggles of today, and into a future imagined through the eyes of our children. This is more than an exhibition. It’s a conversation. A confrontation. A collective dream.
