We invented tech to make our lives easier, not replace us! And with the development of AI, our lives are already impacted. But by how much?
Global speaker, TEDx veteran, author, and Futurist Graeme Codrington provides Don’t Hold Back’s Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba with the hard facts on some of the disrupting forces shaping our future work.
Qamngana-Mayaba asks Codrington whether, with all these rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence, South Africans, who already face challenging employment prospects, should be worried about more job losses.
They also delve into what AI is and what it is not, explore Chat GPT's essence, discuss upcoming exciting developments to watch out for.
Qamngana-Mayaba also seeks advice from Codrington on how to stay ahead or at least keep up with AI advances.
“Chat GPT is probably a good second-year student: it thinks it knows everything, they’re learning how to communicate it. Actually, they know very little,” says Codrington.
In this wide-ranging interview, the two also cover:
• The South African general elections in 2024 and predictions.
• Our aversion to change.
• Cultural influences.
• And, surprisingly, ice cream!

What began as a way to pass time during COVID-19 lockdowns has become a calling card for Tumi Mmope: she's now an award-winning TikToker and content creator. And it all started with her local neighbourhood WhatsApp chat group.
Tumi, better know as ‘Tums the Narrator’ won the DStv Content Creator of the Year Award in September.
But not everybody has success on social media platforms, and Don’t Hold Back host Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba quizzes Tumi on what makes an account special, where she thinks South Africa ranks in terms of global content creation, how it all began for Tums – and the downside of achieving success.

Content creator, author, HIV activist, and "Don't Hold Back" podcast host, Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba, is a new mother, and she was taken aback by the sudden highs and lows of this new journey.
Many young women fight a silent battle against postpartum depression.
To help break the stigma surrounding the so-called 'baby blues', Nozi's joined this time on "Don't Hold Back" by radio personality, bestselling author, and life coach Sam Cowan, who recounts her own motherhood journey and struggles with depression.
“I wanted women to know they weren't alone...There is such pressure on us to be perfect,” Sam tells Nozi in this second episode of Season Two of the award-winning podcast.
"It's [motherhood] is the biggest thing you'll ever do, and it's the thing you get judged the most on," says Sam.
"When people say, 'What can I do to help?', or, 'I'll do anything to help!' - give them things to do!"
If you're a new mom trying to come to terms with this new journey, this episode is a must-listen. It's filled with lots of great, non-judgemental advice to help support new moms as they navigate this new journey; plus, of course, lots of Sam's trademark humour.

Google's CMO Africa, Mzamo Masito, went from fighting to make ends meet to being a South African captain of industry - but his journey is littered with battles and second-guessing. Not what you'd expect from a high-flying executive.
He tells Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba why young South Africans should NOT idolise Elon Musk, why Ubuntu is so underrated, and why changing jobs the right way helps you get ahead.
Just a heads up: there is some swearing in this episode.

In this episode, HIV/AIDS activist and digital creator Saidy Brown shares her story, and her experience on living with HIV, including navigating love, dating and how to reveal your status to a lover.

There's a line where I said, 'Because of you I feel less pretty' - and I stopped, and I read that line and I just broke down in tears," she recalls in a frank and lively discussion with Don’t Hold Back host, Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba. Saidy sets the record straight on living with HIV, the myths and truths around HIV and its impact on life and love.
