African Perspective: Mkhulu Ntsingisa

South Africa’s data-centre industry is expanding as demand for AI and cloud computing grows, raising questions about electricity, water and community impact. Meanwhile, Meta has agreed to introduce a two-hour daily Facebook and Instagram limit for teenagers in participating parts of the US. So, as technology becomes more central to our lives, are we doing enough to manage its impact?

White, brown, wholewheat, wholegrain, rye and sourdough, bread comes in many forms, but which one is the healthiest? Bread is often labelled as something we should avoid, especially when trying to lose weight or eat healthier. But is bread really the problem, or is it more about the type we choose
and how much we eat? And with healthy eating sometimes feeling expensive, how do budget
constraints affect the choices we make? Today, we speak to wellness expert Ronald Abvajee to unpack the truth about bread, from white and brown bread to wholewheat and sourdough, and whether it can still have a place in a healthy, balanced diet.

South Africa is set to get a R292 million supercomputer, promising a major boost for AI, scientific research, weather forecasting and healthcare. The new system is expected to be about three times more powerful than Lengau, South Africa’s existing national supercomputer, which is used by researchers for complex calculations and data intensive scientific work. At the same time, TikTok has agreed to pay US$400 million to settle allegations that it violated children’s privacy laws in the US.
So, as technology becomes more powerful, are we doing enough to protect the people using it?
