Good day Education Gauteng parents with children entering Grade 1 and Grade 8 in 2017 recently got a first-hand taste of the chaos, fear and uncertainty that can surround the flawed implementation of a fundamentally good idea. When changes happen, especially BIG ones, stakeholder engagement and support are critical elements for smooth-running and success. It’s fair to say that the Gauteng MEC for education, Panyaza Lesufi, made little effort to get all stakeholders on board, and instead opted for a “brute-force, my-way-or-the-highway” approach. Gauteng MEC for Education – Panyaza Lesufi There’s little doubt that his “online registration is inevitable” assertion…

The evolution of social media has been fueled by the human impulse to communicate and by advances in digital technology. It is a story about establishing and nurturing personal connections at scale. According to Merriam-Webster, social media is defined as “forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos).” The 2019 Pew Research Center report on social media use in the United States showed that 72% of American adults use some form of social media.

Social media is a powerful tool for brands to connect with their audience—a platform to share information, discuss ideas, and strengthen relationships. Through all of these activities, brands have lots of opportunities to learn about their audience—what they’re passionate about, what they like or dislike about the industry, or what they want to see more or less of from brands.

YouTube boots you and your channel if it gets to this point. To ensure that it doesn’t happen to you, follow this advice: Remember who owns the copyright It’s fairly simple: If you created the video, the copyright belongs to you; if you upload content created by…
