This week we’re connecting two fast-moving stories shaping our digital lives. First, the explosion in global energy demand as data centres grow rapidly fuelled by AI, streaming, and cloud services. Second, the rise of AI-powered toys entering households, with concerns growing around safety, privacy, and regulation. So, what do these trends mean for South Africa where we’re still managing load shedding, digital inequality, and growing tech adoption? To help us unpack the bigger picture, we’re joined by Tech Expert Olivier Tshimbidi live from the Middle East.

✓ South Africa is mourning the passing of jazz legend Pops Mohamed at
the age of 75. Known for blending traditional African sounds with
modern instruments, Mohamed reinvented local music while
challenging apartheid’s narrow definitions of race and genre.
✓ Rwanda and the DRC have signed a historic peace deal in Washington,
witnessed by President William Ruto and other world leaders.
Presidents Paul Kagame and Félix Tshisekedi say the agreement aims to
end three decades of conflict in Eastern Congo that has claimed millions
of lives and destabilised the Great Lakes region.
✓ Did we know Ma Afrika that - Pops Mohamed was a legendary
multi-instrumentalist from kora and mbira to keyboards and
percussion. Affectionately called South Africa’s ‘unofficial minister of
music,’ he was celebrated for preserving and promoting the nation’s
musical heritage.
