Four years. That’s how long fans have waited for Euphoria to return and now the official season 3 trailer has finally landed, proving once again that this show doesn’t do quiet exits. Premiering on April 12, on HBO and HBO Max, this new chapter looks like the gang’s grown‑up rollercoaster of vibes, choices and big, dramatic moments. First up, it’s clear the characters aren’t teenage hallways and glitter tears anymore. The trailer jumps forward, showing us life, a few years after graduation. Rue (Zendaya) appears to be in deep trouble, interrogated in Mexico and tangled with shady situations that feel way beyond her school‑day mischief. Meanwhile, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) are married, which somehow sounds like the calm before a storm, especially once Maddy (Alexa Demie) steps…

Eish, mense… we thought we’d seen it all. Janet Jackson bringing fans on stage and doing the most? Classic. Usher handing out strawberries to strangers like it’s their honeymoon and now Chris Brown. This one just can’t stay away from trouble. A video from his recent show is taking over social media, racking up millions of views in under a day. Under red and purple lights, Brown leaned down toward a woman at the front of the stage, locking lips in a long, passionate kiss. Think Spiderman upside-down, but the version no one wanted. The woman had her hand on his face and neck, completely in the moment, and according to speculation, she might be married. Some say her husband was somewhere in the crowd, watching the whole thing unfold.…

We’ve all had that moment of pure panic: you’re in a crowded place, you look away for a second, and suddenly you can’t see your child. When kids get lost, they usually scream for “mom” or “dad”. The problem? In a big crowd, almost everyone is a mom or dad, so that cry often gets ignored. To keep our kids safe, we need to move past the “stranger danger” clichés and give them actionable, loud and effective tools. Here is how to upgrade your family’s safety toolkit 1. The “I need help” rule Teaching your child to shout “I need help!” or “I’m lost!” is significantly more effective than calling for a parent. Every parent in the vicinity will turn their head for a cry of distress, but half the…

Former soccer player Teko Modise has stirred conversation on social media after sharing candid thoughts about soccer players’ dating preferences and the stereotypes they face. In a video clip circulating on X, the ex-PSL star reflected on how women have previously challenged footballers about who they choose to date. “You’ll go around, greet a lady and they’ll talk to you and say to us: ‘you guys always date the same people. Same type, same looking. “No guys, you need to date up. You need to date lawyers, chartered accountants, engineers.” Dating preferences shaped by environment Responding to the criticism, Modise explained that many footballers’ dating choices are influenced by their surroundings and lived experiences. He also pointed to a lingering perception that soccer players are not intellectually inclined. “We have…

We have just announced our Western Cape Education budget for the 2026/27 financial year, which at R35.1 billion is the largest budget in the provincial government and will allow us to build more schools, hire more teachers, and improve learning outcomes. We are in the process of realigning our system to focus on quality education, because quality education means more economic growth, more jobs, and a better future for our children. Delivering quality education means setting higher standards, and pushing harder to meet them. It also means investing in early learning and in improving learning outcomes across all grades. This year, we will spend R102.9 million on strengthening early learning, so that our learners will have a strong foundation for their education, which gives them a better chance of succeeding…

The post-Cold War settlement, in which Africa was largely a recipient of rules written elsewhere, is visibly dismantling. A new geopolitical architecture is being assembled, and the question before us is whether Africa will help design it or merely inherit it. So, the burden of this moment is not just analysis; it is commitment to action that changes the terms of engagement. Understanding the turning point Three convergent forces are reshaping the global order in ways that create genuine leverage for Africa – if we choose to use it. First, the return of strategic competition. The West – Europe and North America – no longer operates in a unipolar comfort zone. China’s rise, Russia’s revisionism, and the assertiveness of the Global South have reminded Western capitals that Africa’s 54 nations,…
