THE FUSE

Youth Month. 50 years since the 1976 Soweto Uprising, we ask - what language is shaping the future now? Because in 2026, it's not just Afrikaans or English... It's algorithms, data, and Artificial Intelligence. From chalkboards to chatbots. South African youth are once again at a crossroads. Only this time, the struggle isn't just about access to classrooms... It's about access to opportunity in a digital world. So, how prepared are South Africa's youth for the opportunities and challenges of the AI era? To unpack this we have Dr Fulufhelo Nelwamondo who is an AI expert and former CEO of the South African National Research Foundation. We also have Brian Temba who is a well-known music artist and producer. The studio audience also share their thoughts. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
