Current Affairs – Your Take on What’s Happening in SA
Every day, something happens that makes us talk, shake our heads, laugh out loud, or feel something deep in our gut. But too often, it’s the same voices commenting on those stories. On People RSA, the Current Affairs section exists to change that — by giving real South Africans the space to say what they think, without needing permission.
This is where you bring the news closer to home. From taxi strikes and elections to stage 6 loadshedding, viral TikToks, or a headline that’s got the whole country talking — this is your space to weigh in.
🗣️ Say It Like It Is
We’re not journalists. We’re not politicians. We’re not here to spin stories or push angles. We’re just everyday people with something to say — and this section gives you the mic.
The Current Affairs section is for:
-
Locals with a strong opinion on a breaking news story
-
People who want to speak up about something they’ve seen in their community
-
Youth who feel like no one’s listening
-
Elders who’ve seen it all and want to reflect
-
Anyone who’s ever thought, “Why isn’t someone talking about this?”
You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to have a view worth hearing.
✍️ Why Should You Contribute?
Every time you share your voice here, you help create a better version of South Africa’s story — one that includes you.
When you write for the Current Affairs section:
-
🗣️ Your voice gets heard by thousands of real people
-
📣 Your opinion can spark conversations that matter
-
✍️ You control your own narrative, in your own words
-

You don’t need perfect grammar. You don’t need to write a novel. You just need to speak from the heart — we’ll help shape the rest.
🔥 What Can You Write About?
Anything that’s happening now, or still on your mind. Some ideas:
-
A big story in the news and your honest opinion on it
-
How a policy or law is affecting your life
-
A protest, price increase, or community issue
-
Your take on a trending event or viral moment

A personal experience that connects to something bigger

What you wish South Africa would pay more attention to
Don’t worry about being “right.” This isn’t a place for perfection — it’s a place for truth.
