Gen Z in the workplace: Should they adapt or should employers meet them halfway?

Across social media and workplace forums, opinions are split. Some older professionals argue that Gen Z, born roughly between 1995 and 2012, lacks resilience, discipline, and respect for hierarchy.

Others praise their boldness, digital fluency, and strong emphasis on mental health and purpose-driven work.

In South Africa, where Gen Z is expected to make up 40% of the workforce by 2030, this generational tension is impossible to ignore.

Those who believe employers should adapt say Gen Z brings fresh ideas, values, and flexibility that modern workplaces need. Studies show that 86% of Gen Zs consider purpose key to job satisfaction, while 77% value work-life balance above all else

Proteas Women make serious waves at 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup

Heading into today’s sports breakdown, we’re turning our eyes to the ladies in green and gold, the South Africa Women’s Cricket Team, the Proteas Women, who have been making serious waves at the 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup.

Our Sports Lead Nick Tatham broke down how the Proteas got into this position, what’s next on their journey and why this moment matters not just for women’s cricket, but for sport in South Africa as a whole.

Confession: Stained undies and a 'dying' marriage

Every Thursday around this time, we detail some of the wildest confessions from the streets of Mzansi. We get YOU to weigh in on your unfiltered thoughts.

Anonymous said: "I used to think marriage was the dream, flowers, surprise dates, happily ever after. What a joke. Now my life is an endless cycle of cooking, cleaning, and picking up his disgusting stained underwear off the floor. Ladies, if you think being a housewife is glamorous, wake up. There’s nothing dreamy about losing yourself in someone else’s mess. And to top it off, we can’t even have kids, so what’s left? Nothing. Absolutely nothing to look forward to.”
