Did you know? In 1938, Oliver Tambo and Joseph Mokoena broke academic barriers for Black students, with their high scores in Mathematics and Physical Science in the Transvaal being matched by only one White student that year. This prompted the government to probe their marks and ordered them to rewrite both subjects. Even after rewriting, both Tambo & Mokoena still topped the matric class of the year.

STIR THE POT: Masemola suspended. Dimpane acting — second woman ever in that chair, first since Phiyega in 2015. Cachalia acting as Minister. Mchunu on leave. Fourth commissioner in a row to leave the top job early, this one over a R360 million tender that ended up at Cat Matlala's Medicare24 — R50 million already banked. President Ramaphosa admits we have too many people acting, and that is a weakness. So Jozi — are you happy? Yes, the system is working? Or no, same movie, same ending?

Today is Earth Day. For #After40IsAfter40 on #938FreshBreakfast — a question for my generation. We were raised on "turn the tap off", "switch off the lights", "don't waste paper — think of the trees", Captain Planet on Saturday mornings and school posters about the hole in the ozone layer. We were told WE were the generation that had to save the planet. Now we're the parents. So honestly: • Which environmental lessons from childhood live on in YOUR house? • Which ones have you quietly let die? • Do your kids know MORE about the planet than you did — or less? • Did our generation pass the Earth on in better shape, or did we drop the baton?

They're corporate cosplay — a way to sound busy without saying anything. Tell us: • Which workism makes you want to scream into a mug? • Which boss or colleague is the WORST offender? • What's the one phrase you've banned from your own vocabulary? Bonus points if you translate it for us. What does "let's take this offline" ACTUALLY mean? WhatsApp us: +2771 460 5169 #938FreshBreakfast #Workisms 93.8FM | DStv 823 | 938.co.za
