Pharmacists are more than dispensers of pills — they are guardians of medication safety, accessible healthcare professionals, educators, and trusted advisors. Today is World Pharmacists Day ( 25th of September 2025) and let’s say thank you to every pharmacist quietly working behind the counter, in hospitals, in research, and in community health …your role matters deeply. Join Tlotlang Moletsane in conversation with Jeff Shen, Nuclear Pharmacist and Lee Stoop, Community Service Pharmacist from Rob Ferreira Hospital, sharing about what this day means on the ground, their challenges and contribution beyond just despensing medication.

A finance graduate who found his true marriage in pen and paper. He’s not your typical author; his writing is raw, unfiltered, and fearless, asking the uncomfortable questions many of us whisper but never dare to say out loud. His latest book titled "I Think God Is Gay" is more than just a title — it’s a daring challenge to reimagine God beyond fear, dogma, and silence, as a figure of radical love and inclusivity. Some pages will make you laugh, some might make you angry, but all of it will make you think.
