Artificial intelligence and robotics are moving at a remarkable pace — from developments in AI happening globally, to South Africa preparing to host the World Robot Olympiad in 2028.
In the US, President Donald Trump has announced plans to create an “AI Force” and appoint
an AI czar, as debate grows around the speed of AI development, regulation and safety.
So, what does all of this tell us about where technology is heading and where does South
Africa fit into this rapidly changing landscape?

1. NOZINCWADI – 25 YEARS
The Nozincwadi – Mother of Books Literacy Campaign celebrates 25 years this
week, having used reading and literature to transform young lives, particularly
in under-resourced schools.
How has the campaign evolved over the past 25 years, and what impact have
you seen on the children and communities it has reached?
2. 2026 HERITAGE MONTH
Heritage Month is a time to celebrate South Africa’s diverse cultural heritage,
with this year’s theme being “Celebrating Our Living Heritage: Strengthening
the Ties That Bind Us.”
What does this theme mean in practical terms, and how can celebrating our
heritage help strengthen social cohesion and bring South Africans closer
together?
3. Did you know? INZALO YE LANGA
Inzalo ye Langa, meaning roughly “Birth of the Sun” or “Birthplace of the Sun”,
is associated with African cosmology, renewal and the spring equinox, and is
often linked to Adam’s Calendar in Mpumalanga.
What can Inzalo ye Langa teach us about how our Indigenous ancestors
understood the sun, seasons and the cycles of life?
