The Silent Pressure Behind Success: South African Professionals Are Carrying More Than We Think

By NewsSA Correspondent: Craig Comrie, CEO of Profmed (Image: supplied) Behind many of South Africa’s success stories lies a quiet, often unspoken reality, one of pressure, sacrifice, and responsibility that stretches far beyond the individual. For the average South African professional, success is rarely personal. It is shared. One income often supports an entire network, parents, siblings, children, and extended family at the same time. Many professionals work as employers, whether through small enterprises or in leadership positions, sustaining the livelihoods of many homes. This elevates them beyond the status of employee or entrepreneur. Yet the weight they carry, managing business growth, supporting families, creating opportunities for others, and meeti...

TIME, REFINED: The quiet power of this year’s watch icons

Hot products by Zee: At Watches and Wonders Geneva, the biggest statement wasn’t bold design or radical reinvention - it was restraint. In a world once driven by spectacle, 2026 marks a shift toward quiet confidence. The industry’s most powerful names are no longer chasing attention; they are refining it. Proportions are sharper, details more deliberate, and wearability has become the ultimate expression of luxury. At Rolex, evolution remains king. The Oyster Perpetual doesn’t shout - it asserts. Steel and gold meet in perfect balance, reinforcing the idea that true icons don’t need to prove themselves. But not everyone is whispering. Hublot continues to disrupt with bold, expressive design, loud, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore. It’s a remind...

Rights Are Not Enough: Towards a South Africa Where People Truly Flourish

By Prof. Narnia Bohler-Muller: On 21 March 1960, sixty-nine people were killed at Sharpeville for daring to assert their humanity. Sixty-six years later, we pause to honour that moment and to take stock of the constitutional democracy emerging from its ashes. Our Constitution is a remarkable document. It enshrines justiciable socioeconomic rights, commits the state to transformation, and opens with a founding value that has no equivalent in any other constitutional order: human dignity. And yet, for the majority of South Africans, the distance between the rights they hold on paper and the lives they are able to live remains vast, stubborn, and morally intolerable. This Human Rights Day, I want to suggest that the problem is not only one of implementati...

TEN PILLARS OF POWER: The science that could change men’s health forever

By Sitha Maliwa: For many men, health is something considered only when the body begins to whisper warnings - fatigue that refuses to lift, muscles that take longer to recover, motivation that quietly fades. Yet beneath these subtle signals lies a deeper truth: the trajectory of men’s health is not solely dictated by age, but by everyday choices. From hormone balance and muscle preservation to sleep quality and emotional resilience, science continues to confirm what many have long overlooked - that the habits men cultivate daily determine how they will feel, move and function for decades. According to Cherrie Blackmore, Head of Marketing at NPL, the path to lasting vitality lies in understanding and protecting a set of core biological pillar...

KEEPING BABY HEALTHY: Simple hygiene habits every parent should know

By Sitha Maliwa : For many new parents, keeping a baby clean is often associated with bath time. However, everyday hygiene routines play a far greater role in protecting babies from illness. From washing hands before feeding to trimming tiny nails and cleaning feeding equipment, small daily habits can significantly reduce a baby’s exposure to harmful germs while their immune systems are still developing. According to independent midwife Sr Londe, who advises Vital Baby South Africa, babies are naturally more vulnerable to infections because their immune systems are still maturing. For this reason, maintaining simple and consistent hygiene practices is essential for keeping babies comfortable, healthy and protected. “Babies are naturally more vulnerable to g...

WORLD AIDS DAY: A call to protect South Africa’s women

By Sitha Maliwa: HIV remains one of South Africa’s most urgent public health challenges, and its burdencontinues to fall unevenly across society. Women - particularly adolescent girls andyoung women - remain at the centre of the epidemic, accounting for a disproportionatenumber of new infections. As the country marks World AIDS Day this month, publichealth leaders are intensifying calls for an equitable, human-centred and prevention-focused response to turn the tide. Jessica Bates, Dis-Chem Integrated Health Executive, says World AIDS Day is both amoment of reflection and a challenge to confront lingering inequality. “Not everyoneexperiences the epidemic equally, and it’s crucial that we interrogate the underlyingfactors that put women at increased risk and ta...
