Artificial intelligence systems are now being trained to recognise, process, and respond in African languages.

This is happening through translation tools, voice recognition systems, and digital platforms that rely on real speech and text input from users and language speakers.

We explored what it means for African languages to be part of these systems and what people are noticing, questioning, and responding to as this technology becomes more present in daily life with Xolile Ntshangase, Language and Translation Practice Lecturer at the Tshwane University of Technology.

The Journal, with Mmatsheko Mosito is a human-interest platform that explores the stories shaping our world through a thoughtful, solutions-oriented lens.

The show brings together voices from across sectors in policy, agriculture, arts, health, youth development, and beyond to unpack issues that matter to everyday people.

With a distinct tone that is both grounded and reflective, The Journal goes beyond headlines to examine the deeper context, lived experiences, and long-term implications of today’s conversations.

It creates space for meaningful dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and perspective-building, while amplifying African voices and narratives on a global stage.

At its core, the show is about connection, connecting ideas to action, people to purpose, and audiences to a more conscious understanding of the world around them.
