ACADEMY OF DESTRUCTION: UNLEASHING TECH GENIUS IN APOSTLE OF DISRUPTION

Good Work Foundation, a radical non-profit education outfit, is revolutionizing the way rural schoolchildren in Mpumalanga get their tech on. They’re unleashing a coding and robotics program that will make you question everything you thought you knew about learning. The plan is to corrupt…er, educate 29 rural schools in Mpumalanga and the Free State, turning them into tech-savvy meccas of innovation.

The program, Open Learning Academy, is a jab at the traditional education system, which is all about memorizing facts and figures. GWF’s initiative is all about building, coding, and testing, allowing kids to create their own projects. It’s like a digital Wild West, where students can lets their imagination run wild and solve problems that no one else can.

"We’re not just teaching coding," says Anorld Mdhluli, manager of the Open Learning Academy. "We’re giving kids the power to create, to problem-solve, and to think like innovators."

The Learning Academy also covers literacy, numeracy, digital skills, and even conservation, but let’s be real, who cares about that when you can be coding your way to world domination?

The program will be piloted at Justicia Digital Learning Campus, which is conveniently located next to Madlala High School. This is not a coincidence; it’s a strategic move to take over the world… er, I mean, to reach more kids.

"We’re not just building a program, we’re building a movement," says Jane Ngwenyama, Justicia Digital Learning Campus manager. "Our students will shape the future of education, and we’ll make sure they’re equipped with the skills to take on the world."

This is a revolution, folks, and you’re invited to join the fray. Get ready to upend traditional learning and join the rebellion against the boring, old-fashioned education system.

The Cosmic Conspiracy Unraveled: Telescopes that Will Blow Your Mind

For the past few decades, we’ve been awash in a sea of astronomical knowledge, thanks to the ever-improving technology of telescopes, on the ground and in space. And now, the next generation of observatories is on the horizon, promising to revolutionize our understanding of the universe. But what’s beneath the surface of these cutting-edge instruments? Gateway to new frontiers of human knowledge or an existential threat to our understanding of the cosmos?

The most pressing question is: what will these new telescopes discover? Will they uncover answers to humanity’s most fundamental questions, or will they simply confirm our long-held beliefs about the universe? As scientists, we crave the unknown, and the next generation of telescopes may hold the key to unraveling the greatest mysteries of the cosmos or leading us further down the rabbit hole of uncertainty.

One thing is certain, however: the next telescopes will not simply confirm what we already know. They will expose new secrets, challenge our current understanding, and force us to re-evaluate our very place in the universe.

The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is set to house a mirror the size of four tennis courts, under a huge dome in the Atacama Desert, Chile. What will this behemoth of astronomy discover? Will it reveal the most distant galaxies, the hidden workings of black holes, or something entirely unexpected, like the existence of alien life?

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, currently under construction in Chile, will feature the largest camera ever built, capable of photographing the entire sky every three days. What secrets will it uncover?

Gravitational wave detectors, our new "ears" for the universe, are about to take us to uncharted territories. Will they reveal the hidden rhythms of the cosmos, or foretell the end of the universe as we know it?

The future of astronomy is full of possibilities, but what’s uncertain is what we’ll actually find. One thing is clear, however: the next generation of telescopes will be a defining moment for human knowledge, and no one knows what’s hidden in the darkness.

Eskom’s Shocking New Appointment Sends Shockwaves Through the Industry: Get Ready for a Power Shift!

In a move that’s left many tongues wagging, Eskom, South Africa’s struggling power utility, has appointed ICT veteran Len de Villiers as its new Chief Information and Technology Officer. The news comes as the company grapples with immense financial woes and a rapidly changing energy landscape.

But here’s the twist: De Villiers, former CIO of Telkom, has over 40 years of experience in the industry and is widely regarded as one of the top CIOs in South Africa. He’s got the skills to take on the behemoth that is Eskom and inject some much-needed digital savvy into the company’s operations.

Eskom’s group CEO, Dan Marokane, has revealed that the company is shaking things up, bringing in new blood to fire up its executive ranks. And de Villiers is just the beginning. Four more executive appointments are on the way, designed to drive growth and sustainability, ensuring Eskom remains a major player in South Africa’s evolving energy market.

But what does this mean for the future of Eskom? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the power utility is about to get a serious reboot. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!

The Genius Who Crashed the Plane: Elon Musk’s Wild Ride at Twitter

You think you know the story: Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur, crumbles under the weight of his ego. He swoops in to save Twitter, slashes jobs, tanking the company. And yet, we’re left wondering: how could a genius be so, well, stupid?

But is it that simple? New books on Musk’s Twitter takeover – Character Limit, Extremely Hardcore, and Battle for the Bird – offer more than just a recap of the drama. They’re a wild-eyed ride into the depths of Musk’s psyche, where fact meets fiction, and logic goes out the window.

The books detail the chaos that erupted as Musk’s Twitter team crumbled under his ambition. Scenes of former friends and hangers-on, like Musk’s own son, making demands of employees, read like a bad Tarantino flick. Even the books’ publishers, Morgan Stanley, were brought to their knees, said a source.

But what’s most flabbergasting is how Musk could ever agree to buy Twitter in the first place. A $44-billion deal that was always a sinking ship, with unsavvy investors and dodgy partners. It’s like watching a genius crash a plane, destroying all on board.

And yet, as we gnash our teeth at Musk’s ineptitude, we can’t help but wonder: is he really as thick-headed as he seems? The books insist that, despite his many flaws, Musk remains a genius, rooted in the physical world, driven by an insatiable quest for progress. Maybe.

Walter Isaacson’s new book, Elon Musk, offers a unique glimpse into that world, exposing Musk’s relentless focus and "strength of will." His previous book, too, explored the "embodied genius" of Musk’s manufacturing wizardry. It’s a quality akin to that of great athletes, who, when in the zone, see nothing but the game.

In the end, the mystery of Elon Musk lies in the silence that precedes a free throw, as David Foster Wallace once wrote. Is he a mystic, an idiot, or both? One thing’s for sure: when he bought Twitter, he was thinking nothing at all. Perhaps the primary reason his free throw went awry was a Tolstoyan irony: a genius of the physical world, buying a company built for words.

Don’t miss: In space, no one can hear Musk’s rivals scream

Here’s a rewritten version with a more provocative tone:

“South Africa is on the brink of cyber chaos as the perfect storm of economic uncertainty and rising costs of living creates the perfect conditions for cyber thugs to exploit the vulnerable.

As cash-strapped citizens struggle to stay afloat, they’re forced to wade through a sea of social engineering and phishing scams. And Armand Kruger, head of cyber security at NEC XON, is sounding the alarm: “The traditional approach to cyber security is dead. We need a radical shift in mindset to anticipate and prevent attacks, not just respond to them after they’ve caused damage.”

Kruger is calling for a “depth charge” approach to cyber security, where the goal is to eliminate the opportunity for threats to even occur. “If a hacker doesn’t have a chance to hack, they can’t do any damage. It’s like removing oxygen from a fire – the flames may still be there, but the risk is contained and the damage is minimal.”

He’s aware that this new approach may be tough for the South African market to grasp, but he’s pushing for it because the stakes are too high to settle for anything less. “We’re at war. We need to be proactive, not just reactive. We need to take the battle to the bad guys and show them that we won’t be taken for a ride.”
