Hi guys today we have quite a longer episode than usual, i hope you still find it enjoyable. We start with the Rand Water station undergoing maintenance and which areas it affects followed up by the UNGA that recently took place, what it is, why it exists and what our president had to say at the event. We dip our toes into the Burna Boy concert cancellation controversy and what it could potentially indicate, we then conclude the episode with the SASSA debacle and the importance of saving for retirement.
