South African telecommunications companies have been given five years to deploy 5G networks across the country, as the demand for faster, more reliable connectivity continues to rise. However, the frequent power disruptions are delaying the necessary infrastructure upgrades for seamless 5G integration in South Africa. 
 
With the country having experienced its highest ever record for load shedding this year, the deadline might not be attainable which will have a knock-on effect on South Africa’s competitiveness, innovativeness, and economic growth.

ANC Youth League president Collen Malatji has called on the government to introduce a R4 500 monthly grant for unemployed graduates, saying this will help them while they look for jobs. 
Malatji was speaking as the ANC Youth League celebrated its 79th anniversary at Kameel River B Stadium, Mpumalanga, over the weekend. 
The youth league says while we are still looking for solutions, the R350 unemployment grant must be increased to R1 500 until issues of employment are resolved.; and unemployed graduates must be paid R4 500 a month. 
Is this feasible?

Mangosuthu Gatsha Buthelezi played a prominent role in South African politics for almost half a century. He was one of the last of a generation of black South African leaders who influenced the transition from the white minority apartheid regime to a society under a democratically elected government.

Prince Buthelezi was born on 27 August 1928 in Mahlabatini into the Zulu royal family. His Zulu identity became the decisive compass for his career in politics, and personified the ambiguities between ethnic identity and national policy. He became the only Bantustan leader who played a significant role in South Africa’s transition to democracy and subsequent politics.
