Today we’re unpacking one of the most talked-about — and often misunderstood — technologies of our time: blockchain. From cryptocurrencies to secure digital records, blockchain is transforming how we store, share, and trust information in a digital world. But what exactly is blockchain, how does it work, and why should you care?

✓ Today we reflect on a defining moment in our history—the Sharpeville
Massacre of 21 March 1960, where 69 lives were lost in the struggle
against apartheid. At this year’s Ahmed Kathrada Foundation
Commemoration, Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development,
Mmamoloko Kubayi, delivered the keynote address as the nation also
launches Anti-Racism Week 2026.

✓ From Abidjan, a powerful moment of cultural return: France has
officially handed back the Djidji Ayôkwé, a sacred ‘talking drum’ looted
in 1916 during colonial rule. Once used by the Atchan people to
communicate across villages, this massive carved drum is more than an
artefact—it is a voice of heritage.

✓ Did we know, Ma Afrika, that on the morning of 21 March 1960,
Professor Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe, founding President of the PAC of
Azania, left his home in Mofolo, Soweto, and began walking to the
Orlando police station? Along the way, small groups joined him—
ordinary men and women stepping into extraordinary history. That walk
became part of the chain of events leading to Sharpeville, reminding us
that courage often begins with a single step.
