How can government ensure AI is integrated into the education syllabus?
The KwaZulu-Natal youth parliament has called for a complete overhaul of the 'outdated' school curriculum to better prepare pupils for future careers.
While some schools have started incorporating AI into the syllabus, such as coding, others are left behind.
More than 70 delegates representing the MK Party, IFP, ANC, DA, EFF and NFP condemned the syllabus as 'disconnected and obsolete'.
They called for the urgent inclusion of AI and digital literacy, entrepreneurship, climate awareness, African history and mental health support, arguing a curriculum stuck in the past cannot prepare pupils for a world that has moved on.

Noise over substance: The ANC Youth League is being strangled by slogans
If the ANC Youth League does not rise to this challenge, it risks becoming irrelevant in the society it seeks to change. In recent years, South African politics has been increasingly defined by spectacle, slogans and populist posturing — often at the expense of rigorous intellectual debate and critical policy thinking. A wider crisis of thought that jeopardises the fundamental underpinnings of democratic engagement and transformation is reflected in the rise of anti-intellectualism, particularly among youth political movements such as the ANC Youth League. Anti-intellectualism is not simply a rejection of formal education. It is disdainful of critical thinking, academic inquiry and informed debate. It manifests in celebrating charisma over competence, loyalty over logic and noise over nuance. Within the league, this trend is becoming dangerously normalised. Once a breeding ground for ideological sharpness and future leaders of substance, the ANC Youth League too often rewards militant soundbites and performative radicalism while sidelining young thinkers who seek to ground their activism in theory, research and long-term strategy. The roots of this crisis are complex. Years of institutional decay in the ANC have eroded the culture of internal political education. Once-vibrant debate forums, political schools and intellectual mentorship are weak or absent. The post-apartheid period demanded robust frameworks for reconstruction and development. However, opportunists skilled at populist rhetoric, rather than policymaking, have gradually taken over the political arena. Anti-intellectualism flourishes in this setting. Using feelings rather than facts enables leaders to evade responsibility. It turns serious issues like unemployment, inequality and land reform into rhetorical battlegrounds rather than sites of rigorous intervention. The league, which once counted thinkers like Anton Lembede and Peter Mokaba among its leaders, now risks becoming a parody of its former self — more comfortable with empty slogans than building a coherent vision for youth empowerment in a rapidly changing world. Worse still, the anti-intellectual turn has created a generational rift. Young South Africans who challenge the status quo from within — those who demand better schools of political thought, progressive research and ethical leadership — are often labeled as 'elitist', 'sellouts' or 'not radical enough'. This creates a toxic environment where mediocrity is rewarded and intellectual ambition is punished. The damage is not contained within youth politics. It permeates the larger political conversation. Debates in parliament are frequently reduced to trivial showmanship. Policy documents are either disregarded, poorly researched or plagiarised. Hashtags and viral outrage, rather than thoughtful consideration, shape public engagement. This crisis of thought is a national problem, undermining our ability to govern effectively, hold leaders accountable and foster democratic participation rooted in knowledge. There are exceptions — young activists, scholars and leaders pushing back against this trend by combining political commitment with intellectual rigour. However, they are often isolated, unsupported and swimming against the tide. Without institutional support for intellectual development within political structures — especially the league — they will continue to be marginalised. First, the league must reclaim its intellectual tradition. This means reviving political education with urgency and integrity. Long-term programmes that examine history, ideology, economics and international movements are preferable to workshops that are merely check-box exercises. These initiatives must push young leaders to consider the intricacies of change in a post-colonial, capitalist society and to look beyond catchphrases. Second, political leadership must stop treating intellectualism as a threat. South Africa needs a leadership culture that values thinkers, readers and researchers as much as it does activists and organisers. The binary between theory and practice must be rejected in favour of a synthesis that produces clarity of vision and effectiveness in action. Third, civil society, universities and independent think-tanks must step into the void. If political parties fail to create space for young intellectuals, other institutions must offer platforms for engagement, critique and public education. Democracy does not survive on votes alone — it survives on the circulation of ideas, the contestation of narratives and the evolution of political thought. Finally, young people must resist the pressure to conform to anti-intellectual norms. They must read, write, question and debate — not in isolated academic silos, but in the streets, community halls and digital spaces where the political is lived. To think critically is not to be less revolutionary. On the contrary, it is the most revolutionary act in a society starved of meaningful ideas. Our political institutions are fragile. Our economy is stagnant. Our youths are restless. We cannot afford a political culture that glorifies ignorance and punishes insight. The crisis of thought is not abstract — it has material consequences. It means policies that fail. Leaders who mislead. Movements that collapse. If the ANC Youth League does not rise to this challenge, it risks becoming irrelevant in the society it seeks to change. Nevertheless, if members can reclaim the power of intellectualism — rooted in justice, truth and revolutionary theory — they can become the vanguard of a new political era, one defined not by noise but by substance.

Power struggles, but still power surging: MK Party confident of victory despite ongoing tensions
MK Party leader, Jacob Zuma Image: MK Party/Facebook Despite ongoing internal spats, the Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK) Party continues to punch above its weight, as party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela asserts. He further expressed that the party has shelved its plans to become the official opposition party in, and is rather focused on its course to being the ruling party in South Africa. Speaking to Newzroom Afrika this week, Ndhlela said if there's one thing that the MK Party, established in December 2023, needs to be commended on, it is that in the space of six months, it has received an overwhelming response from South Africans. Nhlamulo Ndhlela Image: Itumeleng English / Independent Newspapers Fastest-growing "South Africans believe in us. South Africans continue to believe in us. Now, our party status is that we are the fastest-growing political party in the country, let's not forget that. "Secondly, the majority of the Members of Parliament are below the age of 50, and the majority of them have never been in Parliament. We are, in fact, punching above our weight, contrary to whatever other people may be saying," he said. Ndhlela said the party welcomes the scrutiny by the public because it's that what helps them grow. "No one can say that Umkhonto Wesizwe's presence is not felt in Parliament," he said. Floyd Shivambu Image: Facebook / MK Party Recent incidents This week, Eugene Ndlangamandla, regional coordinator of the MK Party in the Umkhanyakude district in northern KwaZulu-Natal, reportedly tendered his resignation. In a letter to the party, he stated that he has observed unfair treatment. "MKP seems to operate more like a family and friends business rather than a political party to liberate black people. I have noticed a lack of discipline among members," he said. Ndlangamandla said he will be joined Shivambu's Mayibuye Consultation Team. In recent weeks, the party has been hit with several challenges, including the alleged use of its Parliamentary leader, John Hlophe's electronic email signature to issue a letter removing Ndhlela from the party's whippery, and referring to the party president's daughter, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, as rude. Ndhlela has also reportedly filed a R3 million defamation lawsuit against former MK Party Secretary-General Floyd Shivambu who accused Ndhlela of using drugs and alcohol. On Wednesday, IOL reported that while Shivambu remains a member of the party, his actions will be reviewed. There have also been calls for the party's Parliamentary Whip, Colleen Makhubele's, removal. IOL reported that the party's Parliamentary caucus wants the newly-appointed chief whip to be shown the door amid claims that she makes unilateral and undemocratic decisions, betrays party ideology - particularly in relation to her stance on Israel - and demonstrates poor leadership. Last month, nine new MPs were sworn in following axing of several MPs last year. Instability Speaking to IOL, independent political analyst Goodenough Mashego, said the turnover within the party's senior leadership centred around Zuma's whims. He added that Zuma was looking for a SG of a particular calibre. "It's not the party's membership that determines that. Skills and popularity with members don't matter; what matters is who Zuma wants." Political analyst Ntsikelelo Breakfast said conflict is natural. "These problems are not going to grow legs and go away by itself," he said in an interview with eNCA. Breakfast added that a strategy that the MK Party can employ, is to have democratic processes in place that will help to de-escalate some of the tensions within the party. Path to power Responding to a question about the strength of the party, Ndhlela shrugged off the question about 'bad sentiments' about the party. Instead, he said that if there are changes made within the MK Party, it is to make the party stronger. "We can't be stopped from doing that. Changes are changes; there is nothing wrong with changes. "It is important that we adapt to the pulse of the nation. That is what is important: being able to adapt and be flexible. We are focusing on our work. We are the incoming government. We are not focusing on being the official opposition. We are focusing on being in government. It's a path to power," he said. [email protected] IOL

AI mishap in court: Judge criticises lawyers for citation errors
AI is definitely not to be trusted to be a legal eagle, a judge found after he was confronted by two non-existent citations in a matter before him. Image: AI RON Faced with non-existent legal citations in a matter before the Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg, an acting judge posed a pointed question to the counsel responsible: did these citations represent artificial intelligence (AI) "hallucinations"? The advocate, visibly embarrassed, conceded, 'it appears to be so." Acting Judge DJ Smit made this discovery when he was about to write his judgment in a matter of Northbound Processing, which wanted to compel the South African Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator to release a refining licence to it. Judge Smit remarked that while drafting this judgment, it came to his attention that two cases cited in Northbound's heads of argument do not exist. He invited Northbound's counsel to clarify the position. Time pressure was given as an excuse, as the matter came before court as an urgent application. The lawyer explained that he used an online subscription tool called 'Legal Genius,' which claimed that it was "exclusively trained on South African legal judgments and legislation". The court was, however, told that while some non-existent citations (of previous applicable case law) did appear on the heads of argument, the senior advocate who argued the matter did not rely on the non-existent cases during oral argument. The lawyer who explained the situation to the court accepted full responsibility for the mistakes but emphasised that there was no intent to mislead the court. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad Loading The senior advocate (who was not responsible for the non-existent citations) apologised profusely on behalf of Northbound's legal team. He also explained that he relied upon an experienced legal team (which included two competent junior counsel) upon whom he believed he could (and indeed did) rely. The senior counsel said he only did a 'sense-check' on Northbound's heads before they were filed and did not have sufficient opportunity to check the accuracy of the citations. In his judgment on this topic, Judge Smit referred to a recent King's Bench Division judgment in which the English judge warned against the risks of using AI, especially in legal research, as it could be entirely incorrect and might cite sources which do not exist. The judge said there are serious implications for the administration of justice and public confidence in the justice system if artificial intelligence is misused. Judge Smit acknowledged the apologies of counsel in this matter, but he said even negligence in this context may have grave repercussions. He referred the conduct of the legal practitioners to the Legal Practice Council for investigation. Meanwhile, in January, the sharp eye of a judge landed a law firm in a difficult situation when it was discovered that of the nine cases cited in their application as case law, only two could be found, leaving the strong suspicion that they had used AI to source their citations. Judge Elsje-Marie Bezuidenhout, sitting in the Pietermaritzburg High Court, not only ordered the law firm to pay the legal costs of the application from their own pockets, but she also referred the matter to the Legal Practice Council for possible investigation into the matter.
