Social development and their role in dealing with teenage pregnancy

Rampant crime and gangsterism is high on the agenda at the police imbizo that's being held at Atlantis on the Cape West Coast. The Deputy Ministers of Police, Cassel Mathale and Polly Boshielo are attending the crime prevention gathering. Provincial police spokesperson, Brigadier Novela Potelwa says the purpose of the community engagements is to find lasting solutions to communities affected by gun and gang violence.

In the build-up to the #2025MatricResults, we take a moment to reflect on the decisions these young school leavers need to make in choosing their vocation and how they should approach learning in higher education. Our next guest has written an article that considers the importance of the sciences and humanities in building careers as well as society.
