[ON AIR] For thousands of South African students, earning a bachelor's degree isn't the end of the struggle—it's the beginning of a new financial hurdle. While NSFAS helps many undergraduates access higher education, there's no equivalent state funding for most postgraduate studies. As a result, many aspiring researchers and professionals are forced to take on multiple jobs, incur debt, or even turn to risky and illegal means to finance their education. So, is South Africa doing enough to support the next generation of academics, scientists and skilled professionals?

[ON AIR] Women's Month begins tomorrow, and while we've made progress, the journey towards true equality is far from over. Across boardrooms, businesses and workplaces, women continue to juggle career ambitions with family responsibilities, while navigating barriers, bias and the pressure to succeed on every front. So, what more needs to be done to ensure women don't just participate in the economy—but thrive in it?
Momentum's #SheOwnsHerSuccess Media Jamboree is empowering women through shared experiences, practical insights and meaningful conversations.

[ON AIR] Winter isn't done with us just yet. South Africans are being warned to prepare for another icy blast, with snow expected in parts of the country over the coming days. Along with freezing temperatures, the cold front could bring travel disruptions and challenging conditions in affected areas. So, how severe will it be, and which regions should be getting ready?

[ON AIR] If you've been thinking about booking a flight, you may want to do it sooner rather than later. Airfares are expected to climb as airlines grapple with soaring fuel costs, driven by a sharp rise in global oil prices linked to escalating tensions involving the United States and Iran. The big question is: how much more will South Africans end up paying to fly, and could these higher costs ripple through the broader economy?

[ON AIR] What does it mean to be South African today? New research from Brand South Africa suggests our sense of national identity may be shifting in a worrying way. Where people once identified themselves as South African first, many are now placing their ethnic identity ahead of their national one. Is this simply a reflection of our diversity, or a sign that social cohesion is beginning to fray?

[ON AIR] The City of Johannesburg is turning up the heat on alleged financial misconduct, with more than R4 billion in questionable expenditure now under scrutiny. Thirteen cases have been referred to the city's independent Disciplinary Board for investigation, signalling a tougher stance on accountability. But will this crackdown lead to real consequences, or is it simply another chapter in the long fight against waste and corruption?

[ON AIR] Analysts are asking whether South Africa's key anti-corruption unit is about to get the reset it desperately needs. The Investigative Directorate Against Corruption is set for a major overhaul after weeks of damaging testimony before the Madlanga Commission exposed serious concerns about its leadership and internal operations. Justice Minister Mmamaloko Kubayi and National Director of Public Prosecutions Andy Mothibi have now unveiled sweeping changes to the unit, raising the question: will this restore confidence in South Africa's fight against corruption?

[ON AIR] SA's child protection system is under the spotlight after the @TeddyBearClini took government departments to court over failures to maintain the National Child Protection Register. At the heart of the case are claims that people found unfit to work with children are slipping through the cracks, leaving millions of children at risk. While education authorities have agreed to tighten vetting and reporting processes, @The_DSD is still defending its handling of the register.

[ON AIR] After years of criticism over South Africa's driving licence renewal system, Cabinet has finally approved extending the validity period of driving licences for light motor vehicles and motorcycles from five years to 10 years. While the change still requires legislative amendments before it comes into effect, government says it will reduce administrative burdens, ease pressure on licensing centres and align South Africa with international best practice. @wayneduv - @OUTASA CEO on #TheNationalBriefing #sabcnews
