Carol Ofori

Today on #TrendingwithTinashe, the top trends that you HAVE to know about include an update on our most incredible athlete, Caster Semenya's campaign, and explains more about the story behind International Men's Day. Finally, we get some clarity on what is happening between rapper Emtee and his wife.

Today one mother is having a hard time explaining the financial situation to her teenage son, who keeps complaining about his pocket money. Luckily comedian, Thenjiwe and our very own proud mom, Carol Ofori, have some brilliant advice!

We received some great advice from Thenjiwe, but it's time to really address the issue at hand. Today we welcome Ayanda Tetyana, an educational specialist and parent coach. She's here to offer some true insight into the parental problems that make their way onto the #BadMomsClub.

Carol has a deep love for all the incredible things the African continent has to offer and she wants to share it all with you! There is only so much sadness one can take and why don't we see nearly enough of the good news and positive things happening on this continent? That's about to change! Every Wednesday between 12h00 - 13h00, Carol will be sharing her favourite African news stories.

Today on #TrendingwithTinashe, the top trends that you HAVE to know about include Miss Universe's new roommate, a Nigerian musician, Seun Kuti, making political moves, and what's happening with the nationwide taxi strike. There might also be a little surprise roommate story that Carol decided to share (which is 100% true).

A video showing an impassioned Chriselda Lewis, a SABC journalist, has been circulating the internet. After watching the video Carol found herself thinking deeply about the willingness of others. If other people were being treated unfairly, bullied, or were finding themselves fighting any form of injustice, would you use your voice to speak up? When was the last time someone stood up for you?

Hairsalon horror stories are too common. But even during the pandemic and months of quarantine, hair might have grown a bit unruly, and parents or partners would have to be called in to assist with a chop. Then again, no matter how out of control the hair, we would rather look like a crazy person before we let certain people touch our hair!

It's time for another trendy catch-up session. We wish there were more hours in the day because it's clear that Carol Ofori and Tinashe could do this all day if they could (and we wouldn't mind at all). But since we only have so much time, here are the top trending topics that caught their eyes this morning.

From birthday cards to sad news cards, congratulatory cards, speedy recovery cards, and every card in between, why can't we just seem to let go?! And after the reading is done? What do you do with it then? It seems rude to throw it away, but you surely can't keep cards from your 13th birthday forever? Carol Ofori asked KZN their opinion on card etiquette.

Carol Ofori is joining forces with entertainment reporter and writer, Tinashe Venge. Every day at 10h30 they will be taking you through the top trends making news in South Africa. Keeping you up to date on everything from the #BushiriGoodbye to Minnie Dlamini-Jones baby news.
