#The Social Lounge

A new South African film, Grade 10D, is gaining attention after a successful premiere in Limpopo. The film explores the realities of the public school academic ranking system through the lives of learners placed in the school’s so-called “worst-performing” class. Written by Shumelani Mapholi and directed by Joseph Muthaphuli, the story tackles real issues affecting young people — from peer pressure and
subject choices to mental health. After drawing strong support in Limpopo, the film is now heading to Gauteng cinemas.

Guest: Joseph Muthaphuli, The film’s director

Doctor Doctor

The school year is underway, and while parents are busy with uniforms, stationery and lunchboxes, one vital check often gets overlooked: immunisations. Making sure your child’s vaccinations
are up to date is one of the simplest ways to protect them against serious illnesses like whooping cough, diphtheria and tetanus. These diseases are not just history they still exist in South Africa and can spread quickly in schools and crèches.

We’re joined by Shaakira Abrahams, Medical Manager at Sanofi South Africa, to unpack why immunisation matters and what parents need to know.
