Durban student builds SA’s first Service Delivery app that's changing everything
Durban student Keyuren Maharaj, 23, has created CityMenderSA – South Africa’s first free, comprehensive service delivery reporting app. Frustrated by recurring infrastructure issues and a lack of accountability, Keyuren designed a platform where citizens can log, track, and publicly view issues like potholes, leaks, and outages. ach report generates a reference number and is mapped for public transparency, ensuring municipalities can no longer ignore complaints. Currently studying Mechanical Engineering at UKZN, Keyuren combined his technical and leadership skills to build a tool that promotes accountability, encourages civic participation, and has the potential to transform service delivery across KwaZulu-Natal and beyond.

Springboks triumph & Bafana Bafana’s World Cup drama
It's time for a whirlwind ride through the world of South African sport with Nick Tatham’s latest update! Kicking things off, Nick and the team celebrate the Springboks’ nail-biting 29-27 victory over Argentina at Twickenham, clinching the rugby championship with a points difference that left New Zealand in the dust.
However, the drama doesn’t stop there! Nick dives into the tangled web of Bafana Bafana’s World Cup qualifying campaign, where a three-point deduction and a forfeited match have left fans clutching their calculators and biting their nails. With the team now neck-and-neck with Benin, every goal counts, and Friday’s clash against Zimbabwe at Moses Mabhida Stadium is set to be a do-or-die affair.
