This week, we want to do things a little differently. We have heard from truck drivers share their experiences from around the country. Over the next two weeks (hopefully), we will be hearing from the perspective of women in the same industry and explore how they navigate through some of the challenges they face in a male-dominated space. Our first phenomenal woman to grace this trucking segment is Mavis Ndumo.

N’den is a musical duo consisting of vocalist Thulile Zama and pianist David Smith. The Duo met in the early 2000s while studying music at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Their humble musical beginning as a duo started with playing gigs in different restaurants and corporate scene.

David has always had an undoubted passion for music, and was a member of a very successful Jazz/Hip Hop band, Big Idea, that made waves throughout the country. Zama, distinguished by her dazzling voice, is the lead vocalist of the successful all female contemporary jazz band - Heels Over Head.

Together, they are part of the Tribute to Mama Africa / Sophiatown band since 2017. In the last few years, the duet has been composing original music and covering some of their favourite songs for their youtube channel and social media pages.

Jazz Appreciation Month (fondly known as “JAM”) is a global event held in April every year to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary heritage and history of jazz. JAM is intended to stimulate and encourage people of all ages to participate in jazz – to study the music, attend concerts, listen to jazz on radio and recordings, read books about jazz, and more.

The Centre for Creative Arts at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and Arts & Culture at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) will join hands this month with the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music at UKZN and the South African Association for Jazz Education to present a one-day free to attend online mini-festival on Tuesday 27 April to mark Jazz Appreciation Month. The free one-day online mini-festival will feature performances and lectures as well as a public participation programme that begs the question, “Does Jazz Matter?”

You would be forgiven if assumed that wellness was merely about physical health and good nutrition. Our society has spent the better half of the last half century reinforcing this through the beauty and fitness industries. There are seven dimensions of wellness: spiritual, physical, emotional, career, intellectual, environmental and social. Each dimension is dynamic, our being is never fixed. We’re in a constant state of fluctuation, and each factor impacts others. Complete and perfect wellness, if achieved, is in constant need of maintenance. What we’re really after is balance.

Our next guest is the founder of Imperative Transformation Journey (ITJ), a solution practice that offers profound transformation to the human experience. ITJ offers unique instruments which aim to “peel off” the multiple layers that impede our clients’ ability to reach the top of the mountain through assessing the seven dimensions of wellness. She believes that every individual has the ability and capacity to achieve their goals. The key to this achievement is to follow an ignited path that is filled with clear and regular replenishment points. ITJ appreciates that each individual is unique, and therefore we invest time and effort in understanding our clients before recommending a sound journey.

Today, we speak to another experienced truck driver on their perspectives on the industry. We are joined by Ronald Tsapeledi. He wants to highlight major safety challenges faced by truck drivers on our roads. Based on our WhatsApp responses yesterday, there is also a concern on the role police should be playing to protect truck drivers on the national and provincial roads.

In 2008, our next guest left South Africa for a three-month journey around Africa, and returned only five years later. As a young girl she was inspired in one of those precious moments of ‘true education’ when a teacher opens an inner door to a world of passionate intellectual curiosity. This childhood lesson in Egyptian culture sparked a life-long yearning to explore and discover the secrets of the African continent.

In an interview, she exclaimed: ‘Africa is a continent of miracles’ as she described the hidden gems of the continent in the form of untouched coastlines, vast mountains and beautiful countryside, as well as the endless fascinating cultures of the people inhabiting it. As she travelled, she jotted her experiences in a journal, together with pictures, notes, sayings, local prayers etc – to use as a memory aid with which to write her evocative and richly described travel memoir.
