We spoke to Pediatrician, Dr. Khutso Sebetseba about diseases among children triggered by ultra-processed foods.

This on the back of a teenager in America taking on 10 of the world’s biggest food companies, including Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Kraft Heinz, suing them for deliberately engineering their ultra-processed food (UPF) products to be addictive, and for targeting their marketing to children, alleging that eating UPFs causes chronic diseases and lifelong illness and suffering.

At the age of 16, Bryce Martinez was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Not so long ago, South Africa faced a significant shortage of Chartered Accountants remaining within its borders, creating challenges for their recruitment locally.

However, the situation is rapidly evolving, and the dynamics that once drove South African Chartered Accountant recruitment abroad are shifting.

A new service called ‘CAs Online’, has been introduced by Blue Recruiting, one of South Africa’s specialist CA recruitment consultancies. 

This is a video enabled platform for candidates to be exposed to more employment opportunities and for employers to efficiently filter through the many newly qualified CAs available.

We spoke to Blue Recruiting's Director Graeme Marais about the platform.

This year, Ghana’s Kente fabric was highlighted for its decades-long craftsmanship and its immovable impact on Ghanaian culture.

The Kente fabric is known for its colorful horizontal lines and ability to tell a story and embody the history of the Ghanaian people.

Launched in 2009, the initiative safeguards traditions and practices at risk of disappearing from public consciousness.

We spoke to Christopher Wetcher, Programmes Officer for Culture at Ghana's Commission on UNESCO.
