FirstRand - January 27, 2026

Browse through any streaming service and you may spot the fascination and preoccupation with cults in the vast array of documentaries on cults. Wild, Wild Country (Netflix), the Osho cult following in the US which led the largest bioterror attack in US history by poisoning food at local Oregon establishments in 1894, is an example of how far cults can go.

Targeting those who’ve had trouble finding love, the Twin Flames Universe “assisted” in identifying and finding twin flames for those who signed up.

Business Day - October 13, 2025

Sleep can be an overlooked practice and oftentimes taken for granted. Late nights and all-nighters are glorified and staying up until the early hours to get work done is seen as dedication and a necessity for certain high-demand career paths. But what does it actually mean to sacrifice sleep? And what kind of impact can this have on our physical and mental health?According to a South African study conducted by mattress company Sloom, “[A] survey revealed that Gauteng residents sleep an average of six hours and 34 minutes each night, edging out Cape Town’s six hours and 30 minutes.”
