open.spotify.com/episode/43u…. In this episode, we explore one of the most important questions facing students, graduates, educators, and employers today: What truly makes someone employable in the modern workplace? Drawing on the article "Communication skills vital for new graduates", this discussion examines why technical qualifications and academic achievements alone are no longer sufficient for long-term career success. While technical expertise may open the door, it is human skills such as communication, empathy, relationship-building, ethical decision-making, adaptability, and business awareness that often determine how far individuals progress in their careers. We unpack the growing importance of these future-ready skills in a rapidly changing world of work and discuss how graduates can position themselves for success by developing both professional competence and strong interpersonal capabilities. The episode also highlights the role of higher education institutions in preparing students not only for employment but also for leadership, collaboration, and meaningful contribution in society. Key Topics Covered Why communication remains a critical employability skillThe balance between technical expertise and human skillsBuilding meaningful professional relationshipsEmpathy, ethics, and emotional intelligence in the workplacePreparing graduates for the future of workThe role of universities in developing future-ready professionalsPersonal branding and responsible digital citizenship Whether you are a student, graduate, educator, employer, or industry leader, this episode offers practical insights into developing the skills that matter most in today's interconnected and evolving workplace. Key Message Technical skills may get you hired, but human skills help you thrive, lead, and create lasting impact. #HumanSkills #GraduateEmployability #FutureOfWork #HigherEducation #CommunicationSkills #Leadership #CareerDevelopment #EmotionalIntelligence #StudentSuccess #WorkplaceReadiness #WongaNtshinga

In this video, we review the groundbreaking research paper, "A mobile solution to self-regulate the Boda-Boda industry in emerging economies," authored by Wonga Ntshinga and a team of researchers from SAP Research – Internet Applications and Services Africa, including J. Eloff, C. Hillebrand, D. Burger, K. Zoller, B. Nkaelang, and T. van Eerden. The Challenge: The Boda-Boda (motorcycle taxi) industry is a vital lifeline in East African countries such as Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, providing essential door-to-door transport where conventional services fall short. However, the industry is often characterised by "chaotic" operations, including safety concerns, lack of regulation, and high accident rates. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mptiVU…

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

“Write the essay your grandchildren will need. Record the song that will outlast you. Endow the chair. Fund the residency. Donate the archive your mother left in a box in the garage. When its doors open in 2028, the TMPC will be one of the places where this work is gathered and transformed into something the continent can use to catalyse the African Renaissance. We will need many more such institutions, in dialogue with one another, building the continental conversation that no single institution can sustain on its own.” — Lukhanyo Neer, COO, Thabo Mbeki Foundation As we mark Youth Month, our focus turns to culture, the arts, and music as vital contributions to our collective granary of knowledge and memory. The African Renaissance is not only shaped by policy and economics; it is also carried in songs, stories, archives, performances, and works of art. By creating, preserving, and sharing these cultural treasures, we ensure that the voices, experiences, and aspirations of our people remain part of the continent's evolving narrative. webtickets.co.za/v2/event.as… @dmandisi @kumasote

Don't be overly sensitive and take things too personally. At times, people behave the way they do because of the burdens they’re carrying. Be kind. Try and put yourself in their shoes and empathize. If you can’t, be nice and don’t hurt them. You’ll have a more peaceful life.
