Protein is something we hear a lot about, especially when it comes to muscle, weight management and healthy ageing. But how much do we actually need, and does getting enough protein mean eating more meat? With protein powders and high-protein products everywhere, are we overcomplicating it?

Imagine hearing a hit song on the radio, loving the voice and the beat, only to discover that the artist behind it may not even be real. Artificial intelligence is transforming the music industry, creating songs, mimicking voices and blurring the line between human creativity and machine-generated music. But can we really tell the difference, and what does this mean for artists and you as the consumer?
To unpack this, we’re joined by tech expert Olivier Tshimbidi.

1. Oliver Tambo — His Legacy (Please look out for a clip)
Oliver Tambo dedicated his life to South Africa’s liberation, building
international support against apartheid and leading the ANC through decades
of struggle. More than 30 years after his passing, are we still living up to Oliver
Tambo’s values, and what can today’s leaders and young people learn from his
legacy?
2. Rwanda — Culture and Dress Codes
Rwandan President Paul Kagame has defended cultural expectations around
dress, raising questions about the balance between tradition, social values and
personal freedom. How can African societies preserve their cultural values while
respecting individual freedom and the right to self-expression?
3. Did you know? Rwanda — The Secret Behind Its Clean Streets
Rwanda is recognised for its clean public spaces, supported by a plastic bag ban,
strict environmental laws and monthly community clean-ups. This offers
lessons for South Africa, where littering and illegal dumping remain challenges.
What is Rwanda doing differently, and what practical lessons can South Africa
learn to keep our streets and communities clean?
