📢 The Fossil Ad Ban Campaign at the @prisa_africa Summit 2026!

@kholwaniaw, FAB Campaign Lead, will speak at the PRISMS Summit 2026 on greenwashing, our cases before the @advertising_regulatory_board (ARB), and why South Africa needs stronger regulations to tackle misleading environmental claims in fossil fuel advertising.

Session details
📅 Friday, 23 October 2026
🕒 11:45–12:10
📍 Panel 7: Sustainability | Panel discussion

Greenwashing can make fossil fuels appear more environmentally friendly than they are, misleading the public and delaying climate action.

Advertising and marketing agencies have a role to play. We call on the industry to take a stand against misleading advertising that puts communities and the environment at risk.

The narratives used to promote fossil fuels can shape public perceptions and delay climate action.

It is time to put people, the environment and accountability at the centre of advertising.

@alkemi_collective has become Africa’s first creative agency to endorse the Fossil Ad Ban campaign. We call on other creative, advertising and marketing agencies to take a stand against greenwashing and support advertising practices that put people, the environment and climate accountability first.

📢 Take a stand against greenwashing. Sign the pledge via the link in our bio.

Fuel price hikes add pressure to South Africa’s township economy.

Rising fuel prices are increasing operating costs for township, rural and micro-enterprises, while leaving consumers with less disposable income to spend locally.

In a featured article on Bizcommunity, TEA CEO Bulelani Balabala unpacks the impact on small businesses, practical ways to manage rising costs and the need for targeted support to protect township enterprises.

Pt. 1 | Should endometriosis be considered a disability in South Africa?

I’ve been inspired by patient advocates around the world, like @sanjuthinks, @savannahregensburger, and many others who have asked this question before. But South Africa needs to have this conversation too, and we need more representation. 💛

I’m asking it not to set women back, get pity, or make excuses, but to make sure endometriosis is taken seriously. It’s not just a bad period.

Vote in the poll, then tell me what you think in the comments.

A conversation around the evolving role of digital dentistry. 🦷

Dr Nicolene Singh was recently featured in Bizcommunity sharing her perspective on the growing role of digital tools in everyday dental practice.

The article explores how traditional clinical skills and digital workflows can work alongside one another, while keeping clinical judgement at the centre of patient care.

As Dr Singh notes:

“A simulation is a prediction, not a promise.”

Thank you to the @bizcommunity team for the opportunity to be part of the conversation.
