I BET YOU CANT FIND (15 JULY 2025)

CAN SA’S WIFI AND VIBE PAY THE BILLS: THE DIGITAL NOMADS VISA

Who did what, and why does it matter? South Africa’s government is officially rolling out a Digital Nomad Visa aimed at remote workers from abroad. Translation: if you’re from another country and work online, SA wants your dollars, pounds, and euros in our economy while you sip rooibos on a beach. This is part of a bigger strategy to bring in billions by attracting long- term tourists who actually spend money, not just pass through. What’s the tea? The visa targets remote workers earning at least R1 million per year. They’ll be allowed to live in SA for 12 months, with an option to extend. Big focus is Cape Town and Durban: affordable living, decent WiFi, good coffee, but there’s real-world tension: South Africans are struggling with unemployment and housing. Critics ask, why bend over backwards for outsiders when locals aren’t sorted?

NEW MUSIC INTERVIEW: ROUGE "JUICY" FEATURING NADIA NAKAI AND MOOZLIE

Rouge is in studio to talk about her new single "Juicy" featuring Nadia Nakai and Moozlie.   This all-woman collaboration is a masterclass in swagger, wordplay, and unity within the hip hop landscape. Backed by a trunk-rattling beat from sonic architect Wichi 1080, “Juicy” is more than just a flex — it’s a rallying cry and a testament to what happens when three of the game’s fiercest voices share the same beat. Rouge leads with her signature venom, Nadia delivers untouchable charisma, and Moozlie brings a fire cadence, making this collaboration a generational milestone for hip hop.
