The late Lesego Motsepe (39)🕊️🕊️was a celebrated actress, singer, and social activist, best known for her role as Letti Matabane in the popular SABC 3 soap opera Isidingo. She played the beloved character for a decade, from 1998 to 2008. On World AIDS Day in 2011, Motsepe publicly disclosed that she had been living with HIV since 1998. Her announcement on TV was widely praised, positioning her as a courageous ambassador who helped destigmatise the disease and encourage others to test and seek care. However, her health journey took a controversial turn when she publicly announced a decision to discontinue her conventional antiretroviral (ARV) medication. She chose instead to pursue alternative treatments, including alternative diet practices and holistic remedies. On 20 January 2014, Motsepe was tragically found dead by her brother at her apartment in Randburg having succumbed to natural causes related to her illness. She was buried at the West Park Cemetery . Her death sparked nationwide conversations regarding the vital importance of adhering to standard HIV treatment protocols. She is still fondly remembered by South Africans as a remarkably talented artist who fought fiercely for her community.

The late The late Francis Rasuge (27) 🕊️🕊️ an (SAPS) constable who disappeared and her case set a major legal precedent when her partner, William Gadifele Nkuna, was successfully convicted of her murder in 2005 without her body being found. Constable Rasuge was last seen alive on 27 August 2004 at a hairdressing salon in Temba, outside Pretoria, in the company of her estranged boyfriend, William Nkuna. She had previously obtained a protection order against him after he threatened her life. Following her disappearance, investigators found her blood in Nkuna’s vehicle, and bank records proved he withdrew money from her accounts using her PIN. In November 2005, despite a missing body and Nkuna maintaining his innocence, Judge Ronald Hendricks found Nkuna guilty based on an inescapable web of circumstantial evidence. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. Nearly 8 years later, on 20 March 2012 construction workers laying a foundation at Nkuna’s former home in Temba uncovered human bones. DNA testing confirmed the remains belonged to Rasuge. She was finally laid to rest by her family on 11 April 2012 at the Honingnestkrans Cemetery in Pretoria. Having served over 20 years of his life sentence, William Nkuna (now in his early 60s) became legally eligible for parole review. During parole dialogue processes, Rasuge’s family vehemently opposed his release. Her sister Rose Khutsoane, revealed that during these meetings, Nkuna finally admitted to killing Rasuge with his bare hands. However the family noted he showed absolutely no remorse, appeared arrogant, and still posed a danger to society.

a graduate is 3x more likely to end up with a job vs someone with less than matric education doesn’t 100% guarantee employment but it definitely improves the odds in South Africa

Youth unemployment in South Africa currently stands at 45.8% ‼️😕 a staggering 4.7m young people are locked out of the economy with no jobs it’s a national crisis when so much potential & talent evaporates into an economically lost generation
