Your phone vibrates, and before you even look at the screen, you’re hoping it’s them. You wake up to a good morning text, check in throughout the day, share what you had for breakfast, what happened at work, and all those little details that seem insignificant but somehow make you feel closer to someone.

Before you know it, you’ve spoken so much that you feel like you’re part of each other’s daily lives. You know their routines, their plans, what makes them laugh, and even how their dinner with friends went. We speak to Trevor Kamoto who is a Life Coach as we unpack whether digital intimacy has created a false sense of physical connections

Digital intimacy killing physical connections: Does always being on the phone / connected create a false sense of intimacy and connection 

We are hanging out with Moyake, an Afro-soul singer-songwriter from Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape, whose music is rooted in soulful melodies, authenticity and heartfelt storytelling.

With over nine years of choral experience, including performing with the KZN-Midlands Youth Choir, Moyake has developed a sound that brings together vocal discipline, musicality and emotional depth. She writes her own music, often beginning the creative process with an acoustic guitar, and has performed at festivals and live music events across South Africa.

Her breakthrough single, Azange, introduced her to a wider national audience, earning playlist support and chart recognition. Moyake joins us to talk about her musical journey and the stories behind her music.

The Congress of South African Trade Unions, COSATU, recently announced its newest leadership but the most important question was not only who will take the reins, but what direction will they chart for COSATU? Will the newly elected leadership be able to strengthen the federation’s voice, rebuild workers’ confidence and ensure that the interests of ordinary working South Africans remain at the centre of its agenda?

For a labour movement that has played a significant role in South Africa’s political and economic history, this conference comes at a time when workers are grappling with unemployment, rising living costs, job insecurity and concerns about the future of collective bargaining.

We are in conversation with Political Analyst, Thamsanqa Malinga.

Imagine a child struggling to read or spell, not because they aren’t capable of learning, but because the tools used to identify their learning difficulties don’t speak their language. In South Africa, dyslexia can still go undiagnosed, particularly when children face language barriers or limited access to appropriate assessments. 

Bellavista School, a specialist school in Johannesburg for children with barriers to learning, is working to change that by developing dyslexia screening tools in local languages. This week on our Feel Good segment, we explore why identifying dyslexia early matters, how language can influence the screening process, and what this development could mean for children, parents and teachers across South Africa.
