Technology is changing how governments deliver services. Here in South Africa, Home Affairs is moving to digitise asylum applications using biometrics. But as we become increasingly digital, there are also questions about the infrastructure powering this transformation. On the Indonesian island of Batam, communities are raising concerns about the huge amounts of water being used by data centres that support our growing digital world. So, as South Africa accelerates its own digital transformation, what lessons can we take from what's happening elsewhere? Tech Expert Olivier Tshimbidi joins us to unpack it.

The Drive Connection MONDAY Mix: Tha Muzik

1. A Pan-African tribute to Ntate Babsy Mlangeni
As Africa continues to mourn the passing of music legend Ntate Babsy Mlangeni, his life reminds us that some of our greatest teachers never stood in a lecture hall, but educated generations through music, culture and lived experience. What does Ntate Babsy Mlangeni’s legacy teach us about the role of artists as custodians of African history, culture and knowledge?
2. Fela Kuti and Thomas Sankara Week
This week brings together two powerful African figures, Fela Kuti and Thomas Sankara, who used their voices and positions to challenge injustice, corruption and the political status quo. What can today’s Africa learn from Fela Kuti and Thomas Sankara about speaking truth to power and challenging systems that fail ordinary people?
3. Did we know that Burkina Faso was once called Upper Volta?
Before it became Burkina Faso, the country was known as Upper Volta until Thomas Sankara renamed it in 1984, choosing a name that reflected his vision of a nation built on dignity and integrity.
Did we know that Burkina Faso means “Land of Honest People”, and what did Sankara hope that name would represent for his people?
