There is a gambling crisis in South Africa.

South Africa's housing market is facing a generational shift. New research shows that young homebuyers have more than halved over the past 20 years, while affordability, unemployment and rising living costs continue to keep many aspiring homeowners on the sidelines. At the same time, the Reserve Bank's decision to leave the repo rate unchanged raises questions about whether borrowing conditions will improve enough to revive demand.

Content creation has become one of the most exciting opportunities of our time, opening doors for people to tell their stories, build communities and even create careers from their passions. But while the creator economy has exploded across the globe, access to the tools and training needed to succeed has not always been equal. That's exactly where this week's guest on Good Things with Brent Lindeque is making a difference. Greg Sheppard, the Founder and CEO of View4All and Studio4, a Johannesburg-based creative entrepreneur working to change how South Africans create, share, and monetise content, joins us to chat about the good work he is doing. With more than two decades of experience in the advertising industry, Greg has worked with some of the world's biggest brands, including Heineken, BMW, Red Bull and MTN. But it was his decision to step beyond traditional advertising that led to the creation of View4All.tv, Africa's first truly free, data-free content platform delivered through Wi-Fi in high-traffic public spaces. The conversation dives into the rapidly growing creator economy, the opportunities it presents for South Africans and the barriers that still exist for many aspiring creators. Greg shares how View4All is helping to bridge that gap by making content more accessible, while Studio4 is identifying and training young creators from previously disadvantaged communities, equipping them with the skills needed to build sustainable futures through digital storytelling and video content. More than just a discussion about technology or media, this episode explores what becomes possible when creativity and opportunity come together. It's a conversation about empowering people, unlocking talent and ensuring that the next generation of South African creators has a chance to be seen, heard and rewarded for their work.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Thanda Sithole, FNB & WesBank Senior Economist, about South Africa’s modest 0.5% GDP growth in the first quarter, unpacking the resilience in finance and agriculture, the drag from manufacturing and declining fixed investment, and what the mixed signals in consumer spending, exports, and inventories mean for the country’s economic outlook. In other interviews, Luyanda Njilo, Senior Equity research analyst for healthcare at Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking talks about a growing challenge facing South Africa’s medical aid industry: the decline in younger members. Medical schemes rely on younger, healthier members to help subsidise the healthcare costs of older beneficiaries, but that balance is increasingly under strain as fewer young adults join or remain on medical aid.

South Africa cheered on the Alexforbes Angel Wings crew ever since they set sail in the gruelling Cape2Rio Yacht Race… and now skipper Sibusiso “Sibu” Sizatu is sharing the incredible story behind the historic victory on this week's “Good Things with Brent Lindeque”. The team captured hearts across the country after overcoming a major setback in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, when their boom snapped during the crossing. Instead of giving up, the young South African crew adapted, stayed calm and continued racing thousands of kilometres without one of the yacht's most important parts. And somehow… they still won the Cape2Rio on handicap. The crew, made up of young sailors from communities including Masiphumelele, Khayelitsha, Grassy Park and Athlone, has become a symbol of courage, teamwork and what's possible when talent meets opportunity. Speaking on the podcast, Sibu shares what really happened out there on the ocean, the pressure of leading the race, and why this victory means so much more than sailing. You can catch the full conversation now on “Good Things with Brent Lindeque”.

Youth skills NPO, Afrika Tikkun has sounded a new and chilling warning as it projects that nearly five million young South Africans will vanish. The organisation says, the youngsters will not be leaving the country, and they will not be going into hiding, but they will effectively "disappear" from our economy. These are the matriculants of 2025 and the graduates of years past who, after months of silence from employers, are finally giving up. They are slipping into the shadows of the "Not in Education, Employment, or Training" category, becoming economically invisible and socially disconnected. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Chief Operations Officer of Afrika Tikkun,Tiyani Mohlaba

In conversation with Phakamile Madonsela and Belinda Matore In this episode of Africa Rights Talk, Belinda Matore sits down with Phakamile Madonsela, from Media Monitoring Africa. The episode explores the pressing issue of online harms faced by children in South Africa and the continent more broadly. Drawing from her work at Media Monitoring Africa, Madonsela outlines the dual nature of the digital world—highlighting both its potential for connectivity, education, and self-expression, and its darker side, including cyberbullying, child sexual abuse material, and online stalking. She stresses the importance of equipping young people with digital literacy and the tools to become responsible digital citizens while also emphasizing the need for inclusive, rights-based digital participation frameworks.   Phakamile highlights the interplay between personal responsibility, institutional duty, and systemic influence also speaks to the important role of the state and digital platforms in safeguarding children's rights online. While much responsibility has traditionally been placed on parents, often without sufficient regard to their digital literacy or social context, the state remains the primary duty bearer in upholding children's rights. Through enforceable legislation, such as South Africa's POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act), the state is empowered to set the rules by which tech companies must operate. Yet, the interview highlighted how inconsistencies in enforcement allow global platforms like Instagram and TikTok to offer less protection to children in South Africa than in Europe. This disparity reflects a need for stronger state-led regulation and enforcement to ensure equal digital protection.    Phakamile Madonsela is a dedicated advocate for the protection and promotion of children's rights in the media, specializing in children's rights, media, and digital advocacy.  At MMA,she leads critical projects that advance child participation and digital rights within the African context, with a particular emphasis on creating safe, inclusive digital spaces for young people. Her expertise centers on the intersection of human rights, internet governance, and children's digital rights, with a passion for child participation in democratic processes. Notably, she was listed in the Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans in 2019 and selected for the DGMT Innovation Fellowship in 2024, and is currently  pursuing a Masters degree in Multidisciplinary Human Rights to further advance her work in child participation and digital rights within the African context.   Belinda Matore is a passionate advocate for children's rights in the digital age, with a special focus on online child protection, digital rights and legal technology. As a Doctor of Laws (LLD) candidate at the University of Pretoria, her research explores legal technology, regulatory compliance, and digital governance, all through the lens of safeguarding children in digital spaces. In her role as Project Officer at the Expression, Information, and Digital Rights (EIDR) Unit, Belinda leads work that strengthens freedom of expression, access to information, digital rights and child safety frameworks within the African context. Her work is driven by a commitment to shaping policies that uphold children's rights online and empower their participation in digital society. She was recently featured in Legal Africa Magazine for her contributions to the field of digital law and child protection.   This conversation was recorded on 4 June 2025.   Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc Limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=452592386

LUNEX legends undertake the Laponie Trophy to raise money for the Red Cross's programme to support families with trauma in nature. Imagine the drudgery of a one hour commute each way to work: France to Luxembourg and back again, to do an office job for the Red Cross Luxembourg. This was Sonia Barjonnet a few years ago. She wanted to do more for her employer, the Luxembourg Red Cross, rather than ‘just' an office job. Sonia wanted a challenge, and with a random google search for ‘Adventure Travel' she happened upon the Laponie Trophy. Her reasons: “Because I don't like the cold, I've never been to Lapland; because I'm not sporty, I've never run a marathon; for all of these reasons, I signed up, a bit by chance, for the Laponie Trophy in 2024 in aid of the LRC.” This three day event in January, with temperatures hovering around -30 degrees Celsius, takes place in Lapland and requires proper preparation. The first day is a walk / run with rackets for about 10-15km; the second day is an orientation race; the final day involves a Nordic ski 4 x 800m relay race and then an obstacle course. It's not for the faint of heart. On top of hard training, Sonia had to start using social media to communicate and ask for sponsorship.  LUNEX LEGENDS Dr. Kim Buchholtz, born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, is Assistant Professor in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, chair of the exam board and programme leader for the Bachelor in Physiotherapy here at LUNEX in Luxembourg.  “The hill that I am willing to die on is that we should (almost) all be doing more physical activity than we do for our mental and physical health… it's more powerful than medication in preventing disease.” Her motto is ‘Lift as you rise' - use one's privilege and opportunity to provide spaces and mentoring for those less experienced, less privileged and less supported than us to have the same or better opportunities in life than we have had. Kim believes that young adults should be able to see themselves in their role models, and therefore wants to show her current and former students, and patients, that “even a  geriatric millennial with low cold tolerance can trek through the snow at -30 degrees for a good cause!”.  Dr. Buchholtz was recognised in 2018 as one of the Mail and Guardian's 200 Young South Africans in the Health category. https://200youngsouthafricans.co.za/kim-buchholtz-2018/ Dr Johanna Johannsson Ingvarsdottir is a senior lecturer and research fellow in the Department of Health at LUNEX.

This is led by Melodie Neves. As of today, there are approximately 89 children ranging from 4 to 12 years in age, coming from Turkey, Chile, Colombia, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Venezuela, Kosovo, Angola, Ukraine, Zimbabwe, Peru, Eritrea, Gabon and Oman.  Melodie's team built the ‘First welcome' centre for those arriving in Luxembourg fleeing war zones. It is the first point of social contact for these children and their families, when they land in a strange country, entirely aligned with the mission of the Luxembourg Red Cross: to improve the living conditions of vulnerable people. SAT helps children with trauma slowly and gently integrate, learn Luxembourg's languages and culture through building trusting relationships. “Komm mat an d'Natur” was created to offer children and families with trauma the chance to reintegrate with educational activities in nature that strengthen their well-being and develop their social skills. The aim is to combat social isolation and build self-confidence. https://www.raid-feminin.com/sahara-trophy/laponie-trophy-raid/ Croix-Rouge luxembourgeoise (@croixrougelu) https://www.croix-rouge.lu/fr/service/structures-daccueil-et-deducation-integree/ https://www.croix-rouge.lu/en/

LUNEX legends undertake the Laponie Trophy to raise money for the Red Cross's programme to support families with trauma through nature activities. Imagine the drudgery of a one hour commute each way to work: France to Luxembourg and back again, to do an office job for the Red Cross Luxembourg. This was Sonia Barjonnet a few years ago. She wanted to do more for her employer, the Luxembourg Red Cross, rather than ‘just' an office job. Sonia wanted a challenge, and with a random google search for ‘Adventure Travel' she happened upon the Laponie Trophy. Her reasons: “Because I don't like the cold, I've never been to Lapland; because I'm not sporty, I've never run a marathon; for all of these reasons, I signed up, a bit by chance, for the Laponie Trophy in 2024 in aid of the LRC.” This three day event in January, with temperatures hovering around -30 degrees Celsius, takes place in Lapland and requires proper preparation. The first day is a walk / run with rackets for about 10-15km; the second day is an orientation race; the final day involves a Nordic ski 4 x 800m relay race and then an obstacle course. It's not for the faint of heart. On top of hard training, Sonia had to start using social media to communicate and ask for sponsorship.  LUNEX LEGENDS Dr. Kim Buchholtz, born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, is Assistant Professor in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, chair of the exam board and programme leader for the Bachelor in Physiotherapy here at LUNEX in Luxembourg.  “The hill that I am willing to die on is that we should (almost) all be doing more physical activity than we do for our mental and physical health… it's more powerful than medication in preventing disease.” Her motto is ‘Lift as you rise' - use one's privilege and opportunity to provide spaces and mentoring for those less experienced, less privileged and less supported than us to have the same or better opportunities in life than we have had. Kim believes that young adults should be able to see themselves in their role models, and therefore wants to show her current and former students, and patients, that “even a  geriatric millennial with low cold tolerance can trek through the snow at -30 degrees for a good cause!”.  Dr. Buchholtz was recognised in 2018 as one of the Mail and Guardian's 200 Young South Africans in the Health category. https://200youngsouthafricans.co.za/kim-buchholtz-2018/ Dr Johanna Johannsson Ingvarsdottir is a senior lecturer and research fellow in the Department of Health at LUNEX.

According to Saferspaces.org, “More than half of all the women murdered in South Africa were killed by an intimate male partner.” Tonight's story tragically underscores this fact, as 32-year-old Dorcas Didi Lekganyane, a recent honouree in the Mail & Guardian's 200 Young South Africans 2024 in the Climate Change and Environment category, was allegedly stabbed to death by her partner. South Africa has a grim history of femicide and violence against women and children. What drives this pervasive violence in our society? Joining us  to provide context on the story is our EWN Reporter, Thabiso Goba.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The latest  Consumer Default Index report from Experian has put the spotlight on the financial health of young consumers.  The report has revealed that loan defaults have decreased for young South Africans but that access is still a hurdle. Jaco van Jaarsveldt, Experian's Head of Commercial Strategy and Innovation says this positive trend doesn't necessarily mean their finances have drastically improved. According to the CDIx report this highlights  the need for both increased access to responsible credit and enhanced financial literacy. 

According to Lightstone, a provider of data and analytics on the property, automotice and business assets sector,   South Africans under the age of 35 years old are buying fewer houses than before – but they are paying more for them.

Nthando and Fiona discuss the plight of young black South Africans. Is there hope?

Young South Africans are confused about who to vote for. This year, there are dozens of parties to choose from on the ballot paper. But for many young voters, having lots of options doesn't make it any easier. With a presidential election just around the corner, Radio Workshop reporter Naomi Grewan asks young people "Why?” and "How are they going to figure it out?"  

In this riveting episode of the 'Visions and Tones' podcast, our host (Dr. Tony Nyundu) delves into insightful conversations with Dr. Qinisani Qwabe, also known as Dr. Que, about indigenous foods and sustainable agriculture in South Africa. Dr Que is a lecturer at the Nelson Mandela University in the Department of Agricultural Sciences. He holds a PhD. in Sustainable Food Systems from the University of the Free State (South Africa). He is the newly elected chairperson of the Australia-Africa Universities Early Career Researchers Network (AAUECRN). in 2020, he received the recognition of the Mail & Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans. Dr Que is also the founder and host of the show - Harvest Chronicles.  As an authority in his field, Dr. Que sheds light on the myriad possibilities and potential challenges related to indigenous vegetables, agro-biodiversity, and food security, particularly among small-scale farmers. The episode explores Zulu culture, the decline of indigenous food consumption in South Africa, and argues for the critical role these food sources play in battling malnutrition and food insecurity. The discussion unravels the potential of indigenous foods in terms of nutrition and the economy, stressing the need for governments and farmers to prioritise them.

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Young South Africans, aged 35 and younger, are demonstrating a growing preference for private mobility. This is evident in recent WesBank data that shows a consistent increase over the past three years in the number of vehicle finance applications for new and pre-owned cars by Millennials and Gen-Zs. This upward trajectory was tracked from 2021, when 722 505 vehicle finance applications were received from young people aged 35 and younger. This number increased to 806 458 in 2022, and 826 088 by 2023. "This is contrary to previously held views by industry experts who suggested that a desire for private car ownership would wane amongst Millennials and Gen-Zs in favour of alternative forms of transport, such as e-hailing services," says WesBank marketing and communications head Lebo Gaoaketse. "Vehicle purchases among this age group have, however, indeed slowed down, as reported in 2023 by data analytics firm Lightstone, which noted that those under 35 accounted for 39% of new car purchases in 2012, but only 31% in 2022. "Viewed in conjunction with WesBank's vehicle finance applications data, though, it becomes clear that the subdued sales are not a result of diminished desire for personal cars, but rather a symptom of a depressed economy and strained affordability across all age groups, including Millennials and Gen-Zs," says Gaoaketse. To stimulate sales, manufacturers, dealerships and finance houses have ramped up their incentive programmes in recent times by offering discounts, alternative finance structures and extended loan terms to ease the load carried by consumers seeking to purchase a car. "For recent graduates, for instance, who might not have a credit history, WesBank introduced a graduate finance programme, which grants young people access to vehicle finance despite not having a credit record," notes Gaoaketse. "However, more needs to be done to help young South Africans attain their aspiration for safe and reliable private mobility, which in many cases can also be a key consideration for a successful job application. "It may also be necessary for those seeking vehicle finance to consider more affordable alternatives in the pre-owned space or among value-oriented importers that have recently entered the local market," he advises.

The average young South African doesn't vote. Many people with many hot takes have accused the country's youth of being apathetic, lazy, or just lacking understanding of our democracy. But those aren't the reasons why young South Africans aren't voting. Let's look at what is actually going on, to see what it might take to get young South Africans to vote in the 2024 election.Find us elsewhere:Youtube: @theissuewithdancorderInstagram: @theissuewithdancorder Twitter: @theissuewith Tiktok: @dancorderPatreon: TheIssuewithDanCorderInquiries: theissuewithdancorder@gmail.com

Africa Daily is on the road in Africa… first stop: South Africa. And Alan has arrived just in time for Mandela day – a celebration of the former president's birth. When Nelson Mandela became South Africa's first democratically elected president in 1994, he was a hero in his own country, and an inspiration across the world. But 28 years after the fall of apartheid, some, particularly those who are younger than 28, are beginning to question Mandela's legacy. The South Africa of today is struggling with high poverty levels, shortages of clean water and disruption of its electricity supply. Eight million people are jobless, in a country of 60 million. Today, for Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja is Johannesburg and brings together people from across the generations in Mandela's former home. He hears from some young people who blame his political decisions for some of the country's current problems…and those who say he's still their hero. Presenter: Alan Kasujja (@kasujja)

This Reboot Republic is the first of the series in partnership with the Fight Inequality Alliance - A global movement campaigning to end the excessive concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a small elite and achieve a just, equal and sustainable world. We are discussing what the inequality situation is around the world, the solutions, the global protests against inequality and Davos being held from the 23rd to 30th January, and what you can do! We are joined today by three inspiring young inequality activists from across the world including: - María Ayala who is the research coordinator in Acción Ciudadana Frente a la Pobreza in Mexico and part of the Fight Inequality Alliance Mexico, - Chulumano Mihlali Nkasela a young queer activist, student activist and community leader in South Africa, current spokesperson of the Black People's National Crisis Committee and recently recognised by the Mail & Guardian newspaper Top 200 Young South Africans 2020. She is a member of Fight Inequality Alliance South Africa Steering Committee. - Mwilima Lutangu Daisy is a Zambian youth activist and the National Coordinator for the Fight Inequality Alliance in Zambia.

During this podcast I am chatting with Henk Pretorius, a multi-award-winning and commercially celebrated South African-born film-maker. Nominated by the Mail & Guardian as one of the Top 200 Young South Africans (2013), Henk Pretorius won the Golden Space Needle Award (2013) at the Seattle International Film Festival. We chatted about his latest movie, a spooky horror, 'The Unfamiliar' which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. After seeing it twice, I would suggest not watching it ALONE in the dark! Unless you are a hardcore horror movie fan and aren't easily frightened. I found Henk to be a delightful young man, who also spent some of the interview time listening to me reminiscing about my time spent in the 'old country', beautiful South Africa.  #henkpretorius #theunfamiliar #Llewelynn Greeff #witbank #kemptonpark #southafrica #JenniferNicoleStang #BarendKruger #JemimaWest #ChristopherDane #darkmatterstudios #starburstpromotions #annawolf #horror #horrormovie #scary #halloweenviewing #halloween #podcast #martinamercerunshakenunstirred #martinamercer

At just 27, Mpho Chitapi became the youngest Black female Partner at ENSAfrica, Africa's largest law firm. This Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) attorney achieved a meteoric rise to the Executive of ENSafrica. She currently occupies the role of Group Technology Head: Legal at Nedbank Limited. Her story is as inspirational as it is empowering, and her journey from humble beginnings as a young Black girl from Vosloorus with big dreams, to having a seat at the table of the best legal minds in Africa, is a living manifestation of the current zeitgeist of Black excellence, the empowerment of young Black professionals and the affirmation that the dreams and aspirations of young Black children remain valid and achievable. Mpho's story begins in the township of Vosloorus, where she grew up as the last born in a family of 3 siblings. She demonstrated academic excellence by matriculating in 2009 with 7 Distinctions from the National School of the Arts, and going on to become the first member of her family to complete a University degree (an LLB from the Wits). In the second year of her studies at Wits, Mpho was hand-picked as an outstanding candidate by the recruiters of ENSafrica, and recognising her value potential, they offered her a full scholarship to cover tuition and costs for the remainder of her degree, on condition that she would complete her articles with the firm. It was this moment that changed the course of her life, and set her on a trajectory that would see her breaking down barriers and breaking through ceilings in ways she could only have dreamed of. In an environment that is not particularly geared towards the upliftment and advancement of Black professionals, Mpho has faced those challenges head on and proven herself an exceptional & capable TMT lawyer. She has driven some of the largest and most complex TMT transactions in recent years, and has built a fire brand as a thought leader in her field, with a volume of published articles, technical blogs, and high profile media and expert panel appearances to her name. Mpho's exemplary performance over the years did not go unrecognised, and in 2019, she was welcomed into the Partnership of ENSafrica, the youngest Black female ever to achieve this milestone. Mpho was also named one of the Mail & Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans of 2019. She is also a finalist for the SA Professional Services Awards for Young Law Professional of the Year which awards are to be held in 2020. Her achievements are no small feat. According to research conducted by LexisNexis from data provided by the Law Society of South Africa, Black female attorneys make up only 15% of the over 24,000 attorneys in South Africa. They are the least represented demographic. This speaks to the difficulty of making it as a Black female attorney in South Africa, where one often has to work twice as hard to receive half the recognition. Mpho continues to demonstrate an extraordinary level of determination, drive and diligence in her commitment to her craft as a TMT specialist and in 2019 she obtained her Master of Laws in Information and Communications Law from Wits. At the core of her motivations in life is the empowerment and upliftment of women in general, and Black women in particular. She has embodied Black Excellence in a way that will forever inspire and ignite the dreamer in every Black child who hears her story.

shutterstock Unemployment is a major problem in South Africa. The youth – defined as those aged between 15 and 35 – make up a big proportion of the country’s high unemployment rate. The agricultural sector could be a key source of job creation for these young people. But while some in this group are interested in agriculture, there are obstacles in their path. And that means many young South Africans are turning their backs on the sector. In today’s episode of Pasha Luke Metelerkamp, a post-doctoral research fellow at Rhodes University, discusses how South Africa’s youth feel about agriculture as a possible space for jobs.

Musa is a talented digital specialist, marketing maven, author, former Group Head of Digital Marketing at Nedbank, former Africa Client Partner at Facebook, current Head of Brand at IAB South Africa, and Founder and CEO of a new adtech startup called Microtising. His professional business experience spans over twelve years and includes building his first company from zero to R6,5 million in turnover by the age of 26. Throughout his career, Musa has consistently done impressive work for foreign governments and multi-national companies-- assisting them to leverage digital innovation to advance their organisational objectives. In this chat with Andile Masuku, Musa shares loads of insights on starting up in Africa and talks about the challenges of navigating Africa's corporate digital scene.

In this instalment of #AndilesTake, I catch up with my mate, Chef Lesego Semenya, a year and a half or so after he first shared the vision for his LesDaChef fine dining brand with me. I'm fascinated by the level of focus and intentionality this Soweto-native, and Prue Leith Chefs Academy graduate in Centurion brings to his culinary hustle, and I take great pleasure in celebrating the fact that since we last spoke on mic, Les has been named one of the Mail & Guardian’s Top 200 Young South Africans, dubbed a rising star by House & Leisure, appointed consulting chef to a number of leading luxury gourmet food and drink brands, recruited as resident culinary expert at a handful of South Africa’s leading radio stations and tv networks, extended his reach on social media and now serves as a judge on SABC 3’s prime time tv show, Top Chef South Africa. That said, I consider his greatest achievement to be the fact that despite all the success he's enjoyed, Les remains as genuine and down-to earth as when I first met him at a killer gourmet home cook-out he hosted six odd years ago.

In this episode we explore the world of indie game development. Kenneth and Kevin are joined by Sean Goncalves (@The_Son_of_Wolf) and Ben Myres (@_benjamming) from Nyamakop (@_Nyamakop), makers of independent games in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. We touch on the difference between "AAA" and "indie" games, tools of the trade, the experiences of releasing a game, and how accurate the Indie Game movie is. Ben & Sean share their experiences and observations and offers a ton of great insights and advice, and many ways to get involved in making games. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that there is a very active and successful community of game makers in South Africa. There are plenty of opportunities for beginners and experts alike to get involved with game development, and we hope to have helped clear some of the fog of war surrounding the topic.
