  SHAHEEN KHAN | Senior Lecturer, Regent Business School | RESEARCH | 25 August 2026 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer an emerging technology confined to research laboratories or technology companies. It has become an integral part of managerial decision-making across organisations worldwide, including South Africa. According to PwC’s Africa Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey (2025), 91% of South African senior executives who used AI during the previous year reported that it had improved the quality of their work, while 64% of employees across Africa reported using AI in the workplace, exceeding the global average of 54%.

I have been fortunate to enjoy many adventures over the years — climbing big mountains, diving some of the world’s great reefs, and participating in a number of mountain biking, hiking and paddling trips. But the Wild Ride has earned a place among my m...

    PASCALE BAKOS | 24 AUGUST 2026 | NEWS    For many Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre owners and principals, registering their centres can feel like a complicated and sometimes overwhelming process. Afrika Tikkun Bambanani (ATB) is working to change this by bringing registration support directly into the communities in which ECD centres operate. Through its partnership with the Bana Pele ECD registration initiative, Afrika Tikkun Bambanani will host a series of registration drives at Afrika Tikkun centres during September, giving ECD owners and principals an opportunity to receive practical assistance, ask questions and better understand what is required to register their centres. Registration is an important step in the development of a sustainable ECD centre. It brings centres into the formal ECD system and helps ensure that they are working towards the standards required to provide young children with safe, appropriate and quality early learning environme...
