GUEST: Sewela Langeni - Owner of Book Circle Capital and Author of “Making friends with feelings”

Making Friends with Feelings is a compassionate story that teaches boys that it is OK to cry when you are sad and that it is healthy to express your emotions.

Sign language is set to become South Africa’s 12th official language after a long fight for recognition

GUEST: PROF. THEODORUS DU PLESSIS - Professor Emeritus: South African Sign Language & Deaf Studies, University of Freestate

Sign language is on its way to become the 12th official language in South Africa after parliament recently agreed to amend the constitution to this end. The move will bring to fruition three decades of a struggle to empower the country’s deaf community. An official language has legal status in a state and serves as the language of administration (conducting day-to-day state business). We asked Theo du Plessis, an emeritus professor of South African Sign Language and Deaf Studies, for his insights.

South Africans are among the heaviest drinkers in the world. The country has the highest per capita rate of alcohol consumption in Africa. Excessive drinking is especially widespread in the Western Cape. Research estimates that per capita alcohol consumption in the province is between 30% and 40% higher than the national consumption.

Blood cancers, such as Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Leukaemia, are some of the most common childhood cancers, with patients having a 50% survival rate. However, South Africans who are between the ages of 17 and 55 and in general good health can help to increase the cancer survival rate amongst the country’s children by becoming blood stem cell donors.
