Ms Elspeth Khembo, Director: MST, Curriculum Innovation and E-learning, outlined the implementation and impact of the MST Conditional Grant, emphasising its role in strengthening the education system through targeted resourcing of schools. She explained how the grant supports over a thousand schools with both material and human resources, including additional teachers and structured teacher development and learning improvement programmes. Ms Khembo highlighted the focused prioritisation of MST subjects, including Mathematics (Grades 1–12), Technical Mathematics (Grades 10–12), Physical Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Technical Sciences, and emerging areas such as Coding and Robotics and Information Technology. She further explained that the grant is implemented through approved provincial business and procurement plans under the oversight of the transferring officer, with strong accountability mechanisms including monitoring, verification, and evaluation in line with legislative frameworks. Ms Khembo also located the MST programme within broader national and international education goals, referencing the NDP and sector targets for improved learner performance in systemic evaluations and Grade 12 results, while acknowledging that current outcomes remain below desired levels. She concluded by stressing the urgent need to strengthen delivery in STEM education to meet national targets, including the production of 30,000 artisans and improved learner achievement in mathematics and science. #MSTGrant #MSTGrant2026 #MathematicsEducation #ScienceEducation #Technology #TeacherDevelopment #MST #CodingAndRobotics #SkillsForTheFuture #YouthDevelopment #GovZAUpdates #EducationZA

They shooting the messenger, but she ain’t wrong. Dating and sex were heavily demonized in a lot of our homes. We were told to stay away from boys and focus on school. The problem is that relationships are a skill set too and many Black women were prepared for careers but left to figure out dating, boundaries, and healthy partnership on our own.

@NyakegoMaponya They don't have to pay you. They just took away contraceptives

Oh to be a rich beautiful woman in her big car driving to buy overpriced groceries to stock up her breathtaking kitchen in her gorgeous house

Spoiler alert: it all worked out. You purchased the home, found your person, secured your finances, and broke generational cycles.

Girl to Girl: Your period is your body’s report card. • Short cycles (21 days or less) = low progesterone • Long cycles (35 days or more) = delayed ovulation • Diarrhea during periods = inflammation • Light bleeding = low estrogen • Heavy long bleeding = high estrogen

Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.

Single sex schools give many girls something surprisingly rare: the experience of seeing women occupy every level of authority without explanation or exception. Entire institutions run by women. So no one will ever convince me that women are incompetent.

Every freedom you have as a woman was earned through the sacrifice of women who came before you. You didn’t inherit these rights by luck. Someone marched, protested, and paid a price for them.

🌿 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐲 🌿 • Gemini • Libra • Aquarius You will be preparing for the next half of the year because you know that your time is coming. You have had a rough beginning and maybe no one understood you. But now, the tables are turning in your favour. You are going

@SbuMasang Very nice. Lonely here and there but very peaceful

Your BLOODLINE Continues through your DAUGHTER ,not your SON -but most people still believe the OPPOSITE

You really gotta run a strict program or your life will be a circus

As a woman I am extremely aware that the reason I have my rights is because a woman somewhere got up, got MOUTHY, organised, raged, made herself INCREDIBLY inconvenient until things changed for the better for all of us. Which is precisely why I see women who uphold the patriarchy as traitors to all women.

In all of this, I just want to thank women that fought tooth and nail for women’s rights to education, employment, ownership and everything we take for granted now. Let all of protect our mental health and peace which ever way we choose 🙏🏾

If you're 25-35 and constantly questioning yourself on whether you should make a career switch to data or tech, I hope you find my account
