Several high-profile South African influencers – most notably Cyan Boujee, alongside Peachy Sprinkles, Ghost Hlubi, Seemah, and Zillewizzy – have recently promoted the Russian “Alabuga Start programme, a two-year work-study initiative.”

Their social posts, which they later deleted following a public backlash, touted the programme as offering job and educational opportunities in Russia’s Tatarstan region

But serious concerns have emerged. The programme reportedly lured hundreds of young African women under false pretences to work in Russian factories producing military drones—not in hospitality or technical training, as advertised..

So we tried to go straight to the source. We reached out to Russia’s Alabuga Start programme, we called their Marketing and PR Department, HR, the Project Office, the CEO’s reception. Some hung up the moment we said we were from South Africa, others quickly pushed us to HR and cut the call short.

Out of all the departments we reached out to at Alabuga — only one picked up the phone for a moment: the Investor Relations Department. They spoke briefly, Even though they claimed to not know much about the finer details of the programme as they work ina  different department…

Roommate drama alert! My roommate picked the big room with the ensuite, saying she needs it for all her stuff. Now we’re splitting rent — but I have the smaller room. Should I pay less, or just go with it to keep the peace?”

Okay Joburg, we’ve got some real matric drama coming through! So, here’s the situation: one of our listeners is in matric, and their parents have basically given them an ultimatum — they’ll only pay for tuition if they study what the parents want… which is architecture.

But here’s the twist — our listener doesn’t want to spend their life designing buildings. Nope. They want to take their sketching and penmanship skills into fashion.

So the big question is: do you go the ‘safe’ route to keep the peace at home, or do you chase your own dreams and risk all the drama that comes with it?

Joburg, serious news from Roodepoort: West Ridge High and Hoërskool Roodepoort have clashed violently. Cars were stoned, learners injured, and the principal was even stabbed trying to calm things down.

This all started after a viral clash last Friday and escalated on Monday when West Ridge learners allegedly returned to Hoërskool Roodepoort. Three learners were seriously hurt, two still in hospital, and 19 learners have been suspended.

We spoke to Gauteng MEC for Education, Matome Chiloane, who stressed schools must be safe spaces, not battlegrounds.

Joburg, how safe do you feel sending your kids to school these days?

A new survey shows nearly half of parents regret giving their kids something. But what is it? We want to hear from you — what do you think parents regret the most?

THE ANSWER = A BANK/CREDIT CARD

Just this past Wednesday, he took his bank card, called an Uber, and went straight to Pantry by Marble… to order a Tomahawk Wagyu steak — because why walk when you can Uber your dinner, right? Needless to say, the moment his parents found out, that card was snatched faster than you can say “extra sauce on the side.”
