Welcome to the premiere episode of Just The Southernmost Tip! I'm your host, TT, a millennial born-again South African (this is not like the 'born-again' you know of). Here is where you'll begin to learn about me and the kind of life I've led so far. I'll be talking about the Gautrain, a "luxury" rail system that services the people of Gauteng Province and yet (somehow) still lets them down.
I also conclude the episode with 4 questions that I desperately seek answers to, but know that I probably won't get them.

#GautrainIsOverParty

A new policy is about to be enforced in South Africa that would allow failing learners to be progressed to the next grade, regardless. This is very bad.

A few months ago, I wrote an article on Medium about Life Orientation, a subject in the South African curriculum that will no longer be compulsory learning after Grade 10. If you like to read and scan over words, check it out here: https://medium.com/@ttmakatu/what-is-life-orientation-b433f58c00cf

Won't Someone Think Of The CHILDRUNN??

We have so many reality shows that help people to find love, shoot their shot or break up with Bae. It's all getting a bit much!

Even Me, Seng'Khathele

The Internet is great for bringing people closer and facilitating the formation of relationships across continents. Unfortunately, it's also a hotbed for trolls and people without constructive hobbies. In this episode, I address them on a candid level.

Show notes:
The song I'm singing at the beginning is "Shut Up" by Simple Plan.
The song playing towards the end - well, come on, you gotta know what it is - is another song called "Shut Up", but by the Black Eyed Peas.
