AI presents an opportunity to identify online risks, detect harmful content and create safer digital spaces for children.
Day 1 set the conversation. We look forward to what Day 2 will bring. #UCCTestbedHackathon2026 @UCC_Official

A powerful reminder from Hon. Nyombi Thembo during the opening of the #UCCTestbedHackathon2026. Protecting children online requires shared responsibility, parental involvement and responsible innovation. @UCC_ED @UCC_Official

I can always begin by thanking You, God, for bringing me this far. It's been a journey full of thorns, ups and downs, and setbacks. A journey in which I wasn't always faithful, but through it all, I chose to learn from every mistake I made.
And finally, I have achieved this.
