High Court overturns NSFAS 'thief' Sibongile Mani's jail term

Day of Goodwill/Boxing Day is believed and treated as an extension to Christmas but the history behind this holiday holds stories of colonialism and british traditions. In British tradition, people would ‘box’ their christmas gifts in a way that held sentiment. On the other hand, Boxing Day was significant to British people because it was a day servants were allowed to go home to see their families after serving their masters on Christmas.We are in conversation with Adv. Sipho Mantula, UNISA & Prof. Sihawukele Ngubane, cultural historian from UKZN.

Day of Goodwill (Boxing Day) - Unpacking the History and the Now

The twinkling lights, classic films on every channel, and Christmas carols are all symbols that can inspire the best feelings in the world, but they can also feel oppressive when we’re finding it difficult to catch the spirit. Feeling lonely around the holidays can make us feel as if something is wrong with us. Everybody else seems to know how to be happy, how to be together, how to be festive, merry, and bright. But feeling lonely around the holidays is extremely common. And even more so during this year of isolation. We are in conversation with Clinical Psychologist, Mzamo Mbuli.

Coping With Loneliness Around The Holidays

When we finally get that dream job, go on that perfect date, or get the promotion we’ve been waiting for, we can’t wait to tell those closest to us. We want them to validate our wins and help us celebrate. Validation is a common need most of us experience and a healthy amount of external validation is needed for your mental well-being, but how much is too much? We are in conversation with Life Coaches, Trevor Kamota and Zanele Maluleka.
