In a world where information is increasingly just a click away, what happens to the people who cannot
get online? For many South Africans, poor connectivity, expensive data, limited digital skills and lack of access to devices can mean being cut off from jobs, education, healthcare, government services and even important community information. The digital divide is not just about who has the internet, it is about who has access to opportunities and the information needed to participate in society. Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with software developer, Mmasechaba Malatjie, to explore the realities of digital exclusion in South Africa.

TECH ZONE: THE  INFORMATION GAP: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COMMUNITIES ARE LEFT OFFLINE?

Selling is often associated with persuasion, perfect pitches and closing the deal but what if successful
sales actually begins long before you ever ask someone to buy? This morning, we’re taking a closer look at People Buy People, a book that challenges us to rethink the way we approach sales and human connection. At its heart is a simple philosophy. The book explores confidence, genuine connection, likability, consistency and trust, while encouraging us to move away from pressure and manipulation and towards listening, serving and creating real value. Because ultimately, whether you’re selling a product, leading a team, building a business or simply building relationships, people don’t just connect with what you offer, they connect with you. Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with Author and Life coach, Salome Hering

PEOPLE BUY PEOPLE - BOOK  REVIEW

Some wounds don’t bleed, but they follow us into adulthood. Sometimes, the man who taught you how
to provide never taught you how to express love. Sometimes, the silence between a father and son says more than a thousand words ever could. And sometimes, the greatest challenge is learning how to become a different man without hating the man who raised you. This morning we are looking into absent fathers, emotional neglect, childhood wounds, resentment, forgiveness and breaking generational patterns. Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with Social Commentator, Emmanuel Masuku and Christopher Ndlovu, author of Broken Mirrors, Words That Wound and Echoes of Childhood Trauma.

SOCIAL ZONE: FATHER WOUNDS: WHAT MEN CARRY FROM THEIR OWN FATHERS

For many South Africans, owning a home remains one of the biggest financial goals, but the reality of what you can actually afford is shaped by far more than simply adding two salaries together. From interest rates and bond repayments to household expenses, location and the price of property, affordability can quickly become complicated. Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with Property investors and founders of Nong wealth , Lebo and  Neo Nong, to look at the numbers, the challenges facing prospective homeowners, and what buyers need to consider before taking on a home loan.
