In the last 18 months, social interaction has changed significantly due to the pandemic. As regulations became part of the new normal, families have spent more time together and those relationships have been reshaped as many returned home. According to Psychology Today, the family has become more influential as a social institution as social distancing has limited our time with our colleagues and friends. Further, a study has found that siblings have helped buffer the social effects of pandemic, particularly amongst young people. How do we take a moment to appreciate the lessons learned during this transitionary period?

Our next guest went from being a furniture shop sales representative to a celebrated Limpopo sheep and goat breeder who is changing the agricultural landscape. Indigenous Veld Goat Farming is an important economic and social livelihood in rural communities. Goats produce milk, meat, skins, cashmere, mohair and play an integral part in religious and cultural ceremonies. He has developed an accredited training course by AgriSETA to provide national certificates in animal production and mixed farming systems – a field that he has been exposed to for more than 10 years

Last week, we ran a COVID-19 news update on the slow vaccination rate in Africa and why women in the Gambia are holding off the taking the jab. One of the reasons why some women are holding off on being vaccinated against COVID-19 is because of concerns the jab could affect their fertility. Anti-vaccination campaigners appear to be fuelling these fears via social media and misleading women into thinking the vaccine may affect their chance of getting pregnant now or in future, or increase their risk of a miscarriage.
