BE DRIVEN [STUDIO]: Our guests today own an eco-friendly brick company that manufactures bricks using sand and recycled plastic.
Through their company Ramtsilo Manufacturing & Construction they'll be the first company to bring the plastic brick to South Africa.
We’re joined in the studio by Kedibone and Keletso Tsiloane to understand more about their business model.
The PlastiBrick was invented as a solution to the plastic pandemic that our country faces, while significant efforts have been made by government, big companies and households to recycle plastic we are still confronted with the need for a long-term solution to this crisis.
We collect plastic that would otherwise end up in landfills and rivers polluting our environment from waste pickers we see in the streets and recycling companies, use it as raw material together with sand for the manufacturing of bricks that offer a sustainable solution to housing while creating jobs and meeting environmental imperatives.
The Plastibrick is not only a game changer for the alternative building industry, but it benefits the country as well with its characteristics. We currently work with two buy back centers but there are a more recycling companies that we intend on partnering with to set a ripple effect of employment and boosting the economic activity of the country.
The bricks are highly durability and low in maintenance, can continue to cure even after manufacturing which makes them even stronger. The South African market has not only welcomed the innovation but have also endorsed the

We now get an update on the investigations into Enoch Mpianzi’s death. Mpianzi drowned while at a school orientation camp in Brits, North West. We’re joined on the line by SABC reporter Sashin Naidoo.
No roll call was done by Parktown Boys' High School before Grade 8 pupils departed for their orientation camp last week and that caused confusion when some learners were unaccounted for, Nyati Bush and Riverbreak lodge has said in a statement.
The lodge has spoken out following a week of criticism after 13-year-old Enoch Mpianzi died while attending a camp at the site last Wednesday.
Mpianzi was last seen when a makeshift raft he and other boys were on overturned on the Crocodile River, on the first day of the camp. They had built their own rafts and some boys, among them Enoch, fell off and scrambled to get back on.
Nyati Bush and Riverbreak, through its legal representative Daniël Eloff, said pupils had participated in an adventure activity on Wednesday, known as "stretcher run".
He said the adventure activities were facilitated by 17 staff members from the lodge, and that eight of those were deployed at the riverside to assist.
It was only after a roll call by the school staff on the Wednesday evening when it was realised that eight pupils were unaccounted for, but there was "uncertainty amongst the school staff whether the eight absent [pupils] were actually attending the camp".
The lodge said that only after the parents of the eight "unaccounted [for]" pupils were contacted on Thursday morning, did they realise that Mpianzi was missing.
The lodge said it would be cooperating and assisting in all investigations and would provide access to its property.
Gauteng education department spokesperson Steve Mabona could not give further details in the matter and said investigations were continuing.

South African Airways has cancelled its domestic and international flights schedule due to low demand. We now speak to Aviation Expert, Phuthego Mojapele.
Background info:
South African Airways (SAA) is in the process of consolidating selected domestic flights between the airline’s main hub, Oliver Tambo International Airport Johannesburg (JNB) and Cape Town (CPT), as well as between Johannesburg (JNB) and Durban’s King Shaka (DUR) airports.

SAA is working closely with its sister airline, Mango, to re-accommodate passengers on alternative services operated by both airlines to minimise disruption, and thereby ensure passengers reach their destination as quickly as possible.

On the international network, SAA is cancelling selected services between Johannesburg (JNB) and Munich (MUC). SAA will re-accommodate passengers on its services between Johannesburg (JNB) and Frankfurt (FRA) as well as London Heathrow (LHR). Some passengers travelling to Munich, and others travelling via Munich to other destinations, will be re-accommodated for some of their journey on partner airlines in the Star Alliance to minimise delays.

These decisions are in line with SAA’s usual policy of reviewing flights and consolidating services with low demand. Furthermore, during the current process of Business Rescue, these cancellations represent a responsible strategy to conserve cash and optimise the airline’s position ahead of any further capital investment.

The consolidation on the Cape Town route is also necessary as SAA has been operating training flights for pilots on the new state-of-the-art Airbus 350-900 aircraft on this route, before transferring the new planes to international routes.
The introduction of these larger aircraft has resulted in temporary surplus capacity on the route.

SAA will be reviewing further possible flight schedule amendments over the coming days. Any operational changes will be communicated to our travel trade partners and customers at the earliest opportunit
