The festival, taking place at this iconic Johannesburg venue, will also feature special guests Wyclef Jean, Ziggy Marley, and YG Marley.

Thabo Maibi, a PhD candidate at Stellenbosch University, created Career Agent, an AI app that searches for jobs, matches them to users’ CVs, and applies on their behalf automatically.
The app also checks CVs against applicant tracking systems to boost interview chances and allows users to build CVs through voice commands.
Focused mainly on South African job listings, Career Agent also pulls in opportunities from nearby countries and remote work.
Maibi hopes to make the app free and expand its reach across Africa, helping to fight unemployment with smart technology.
He developed the app solo while balancing his PhD work and encourages others to learn AI skills online.

The University of Pretoria’s Student Nutrition and Progress Programme, or SNAPP, is making a real difference for students facing food insecurity.
The programme provides food parcels and meal vouchers to help learners access nutritious meals on campus.
By reducing hunger, SNAPP helps students improve focus, attendance, and academic progress.
It also works to remove the stigma around food support by offering discreet access and inclusive promotion.
As Mandela Month inspires a spirit of giving, SNAPP invites the public and partners to support its efforts, ensuring more students have the nourishment they need to thrive.
