Its Friday we profile young people with a cause for #SAfmYouth our guest this week is Mbavhalelo Maliage, a meteorologist by profession who you’ve probably seen at the end of SABC bulletins from time to time.

Performative activism is a pejorative term referring to activism done to increase one's social capital rather than because of one's devotion to a cause. It is often associated with surface-level activism, referred to as slacktivism.

We talk about Youth Activism with founder of The Kulcha Podcas, Uno about “Performative Activism” and when to know when activism is genuine or not!

#TheOpinionPiece We chat to Berniece Hieckmann, head of Metropolitan’s new business focused on financial solutions for younger clients about a piece she recently wrote that looks at extensive research that was done on the youth today – which she terms “Afrillenials” and questions whether we’ve completely misunderstood them to be a homogenous crowd with a penchant for a digital lifestyle over their least liked word and activity; “ADULTING”

What does this research reveal about our Young people in 2020 – and what does it say about their future and contribution to building this country & the continent?

#TheConnection Every Tuesday we help you understand your dreams and the messages you’re receiving. We have Traditional healer, Gogo Magosha joining today to help us understand our dreams today.
