South Africans have never had more choice when it comes to cars. And yet, choosing one has never felt more difficult. Walk into any dealership precinct or scroll through automotive platforms today and the scale of options is immediately overwhelming. Hundreds of models. Endless trims. Petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric. Conflicting reviews. Competing “best car” lists. Spec sheets that read like engineering manuals. Finance calculators that change outcomes by the month.

Starlink has intensified its efforts to enter the South African market by proposing a R500 million investment to provide free high-speed satellite internet to 5,000 rural schools through an Equity Equivalent Investment Programme (EEIP), which would allow it to meet empowerment requirements without local equity ownership.

South African entrepreneurs, television personalities and sisters Samantha and Theressa Malinga are stepping into a new chapter with the launch of You Nuevo Know, their first podcast. Known to audiences from MTV Base’s Have Faith, the sisters have built their careers side by side, evolving from dancers to university graduates, entrepreneurs and public figures.

It is 12:36 in Kampala and somewhere inside Course View Towers, an international campaign has just been approved for Uganda. The strategy is finished, the purpose has been agreed, the creative platform is locked and the only remaining question is how to “localise” it. The local media landscape will be mapped, Ugandan creators will be considered, Kampala locations may appear in the visual treatment and somebody will carefully adjust the language so that a campaign conceived thousands of kilometres away feels sufficiently familiar when it reaches its intended audience. By the end of the process, the campaign may have acquired almost everything required to look Ugandan. What nobody may have established is why Uganda needs it.
