## Resource

A year after the elections, Gareth Cliff looks ahead and makes bold predictions about the future of South Africa’s Government of National Unity – and wonders who might mysteriously land on the 2026 Death Pool. The team unpacks what they call the “true epidemic” and why the title fits a little too well. Relationship expert Sacha Jack joins the conversation alongside superfan Neil Meintjies to offer a refreshingly practical take on modern dating and how to actually make it work in 2026.
