This 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 at 𝟭𝟱𝗵𝟬𝟬, tune in to 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸, hosted by 𝗠𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗶, MBL, Editor-In-Chief of 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 Lifestyle Magazine, as we go live on Instagram with a critical and timely conversation.

This week's topic:
"𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒐𝒎 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝑨𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂: 𝑨 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒙 𝑫𝒚𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒄."

South Africa’s democracy was built on the sacrifices of many, at home and across the continent. But nearly three decades later, many South Africans are asking: Who is this freedom really for? And are locals being sidelined in their own country?

Joining Moleboheng is our special guest, 𝗠𝗿. 𝗔𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗷𝗶 𝗢𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗮; Pan-African diasporan thought leader, founder of Afrospace Media, The Guild of Nigerian Professionals–South Africa, and Jollof Wars SA. With deep insight into migration, solidarity, and African cooperation, Mr. Omotola brings powerful context to this complex issue.

They’ll be unpacking:

Why many South Africans feel unheard and unseen

The role of foreign nationals in local economic dynamics

Pan-African solidarity then and now

How to balance national priorities with regional unity

This is more than just a conversation, it’s a call to reflection and action.

Don’t miss it. Join us live this Friday at 15h00 on Instagram.

The Upright Man: A Brief Story of Thomas Sankara

In the heart of West Africa, a young army captain named Thomas Sankara rose not with guns blazing, but with ideas sharper than swords. In 1983, at just 33 years old, he became the President of Burkina Faso, a country whose name he would soon change from "Upper Volta" to a name meaning "Land of Upright People."

Sankara wasn’t your ordinary head of state. He rode a bicycle to work, cut his own salary, and banned government officials from driving luxury cars. He rejected foreign aid that came with strings attached and told his people, “He who feeds you, controls you.” Under his leadership, Burkina Faso planted millions of trees to fight desertification, vaccinated millions of children, and launched campaigns to empower women, even appointing them to key government roles.

"You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness," he once said. "In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future."

Though his life was cut short after only four years in power, his legacy lives on in the hearts of Africans who still dream of a continent that stands tall; upright and unafraid.

#𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 #𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗧𝗶𝗱𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀: 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗮𝗿𝗼 is the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, rising about 16,100 feet (4,900 meters) from its base to its summit at 19,341 feet (5,895 meters), but it’s not part of a mountain range! Unlike most other giant peaks, Kilimanjaro stands alone as a massive dormant volcano in 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮, formed by three volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. 🌋

Bonus: Despite being near the equator, its summit has glaciers and snow, though they’re shrinking due to climate change. ❄️

REPORT: R500 MILLION SPAZA SHOP SUPPORT FUND OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN SOWETO

Earlier on today, the Department of Small Business Development, in partnership with the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, officially launched the R500 million Spaza Shop Support Fund at Eyethu Shopping Centre in Mofolo Central, Soweto.

The launch was led by Minister Stella Tembisa Ndabeni, alongside Minister Parks Tau, who both emphasized the government's renewed focus on empowering township economies and supporting informal businesses, particularly spaza shop owners.

A Bold Step for Township Economies

This transformative initiative aims to uplift and formalize the informal retail sector, enabling spaza shop owners to access financial assistance, training, and broader economic participation. The fund seeks to:

Bridge the gap between informal traders and formal market opportunities

Provide capital and developmental support to spaza shop owners

Stimulate local job creation and drive township-level economic growth

Community-Centered Launch

The launch event attracted a diverse group of stakeholders, including township entrepreneurs, local spaza shop owners, youth cooperatives, and community leaders. The energy on the ground reflected the excitement and hope surrounding the new fund.

Strategic Partnerships

The rollout of the fund is supported by:

The National Empowerment Fund (NEF)

SEDA (Small Enterprise Development Agency)

SEFA (Small Enterprise Development & Finance Agency)

These institutions will play a critical role in the disbursement of funds and in providing ongoing mentorship and business support.

Looking Ahead

With R500 million committed to this fund, government hopes to create long-term impact across townships, fostering entrepreneurship, resilience, and financial independence among small business owners.

The Spaza Shop Support Fund is not just an economic tool; it is a declaration of trust and investment in the people who sustain township communities daily.
