Cape Town confirms 11-hour water shutdown in these areas
The City of Cape Town has confirmed an 11-hour water shutdown in parts of the municipality due to planned maintenance. The first planned maintenance is scheduled from 8:00 until 19:00 on Tuesday, 3 June in Parts of Steenberg Golf Estate. The City of Cape Town said planned maintenance work will result in water supply disruption to these areas: Parts of Steenberg Golf Estate – As mentioned above, the water supply to these areas will be temporarily shut off from 8:00 until 19:00 on Tuesday, 3 June, to enable the maintenance team to supply and safely install Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) valves to the existing water reticulation pipelines along Debaren Close and Charnwood Avenue. The area affected by the shut-off will be erven along Debaren Close, Charnwood Avenue and Suddie Close. Residents will experience no water during this period. Parts of Wynberg – Likewise, the water supply to these areas will be shut off temporarily from 8:00 until 19:00 on Wednesday, 4 June, to enable the maintenance team to safely connect the newly installed water pipeline along Bayview Road, Wynberg at the intersections with Lindley and Bower Road to the existing water supply infrastructure. The area bounded by Bower Road, Wellington Avenue, Bayview Road, Silverlea Road, Constantia Main Road and possibly the immediate surrounding streets will experience low water pressure or no water during this period. Strandvale (in Strand) – Lastly, the City of Cape Town said the water supply to Strandvale in Strand will also be temporarily shut off from 9:00 until 20:00 on Thursday, 5 June. 'This will enable the maintenance team to safely install a pressure reducing valve (PRV) on the water supply main to the area. Water tankers will be made available to provide water for domestic use where required,' the municipality said. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

African Fresh Picks: Ayra Starr x Wizkid, Ayox x Qing Madi, Darkoo, Olamide, Seyi Vibez & More
Does it even feel like summer if Darkoo doesn't drop? After last year's 'Favourite Girl' and 'Focus On Me (All the Sexy Girls In The Club)' earlier this year, she's giving the girls another reason to whine their waists with 'Like Dat.' And three years after their sweet '2 Sugar' collab from his More Love, Less Ego album, Ayra Starr and Wizkid join forces again on island-infused Afrobeats banger 'Gimme Dat' (which has no relationship to the aforementioned P-Square hit). Speaking of Wizkid collabs, he teams up with Nigerian hip-hop icon Olamide for a new track, 'Kai!,' while Seyi Vibez celebrates his new partnership with EMPIRE with a sonic departure in the form of new track 'Pressure.' Meanwhile, Fido follows up his breakthrough smash 'Joy Is Coming' with a new cut called 'Money Moves,' while Kizz Daniel returns with a surprise seven-song EP called Uncle K: Lemon Chase that leads with the breezy song 'Black Girl Magic.' More from Billboard Nigerian Star Seyi Vibez Partners With EMPIRE, Drops New Single 'Pressure' The Amity Affliction Cover Turnstile's 'Holiday' for 'Like a Version' Mariah Carey Celebrates 20 Years of 'The Emancipation of Mimi': Stream It Now We've highlighted 10 of our favorite new songs by African acts that have come out roughly within the last month. Check out our latest Fresh Picks, and pregame the summer season with our Spotify playlist below. Ayra Starr & Wizkid, 'Gimme Dat' Ayra Starr and Wizkid are ready to fill up the 'freakin' dancefloor' this summer with 'Gimme Dat.' The slow-burning acoustic guitar melody from Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige's 2000 Grammy-nominated hit '911' and tropical drums, courtesy of producers VybeO and Mikabeatz adds to the song's sensuality and serenity. But Wiz steals the spotlight in the middle of the song with his audacious 'Goddamn' declaration that kickstarts his verse about sticking to one shorty who has all his attention. June Freedom, 'Oh My Lady' The Cape Verdean American crooner creates a vibrant ode to intimacy with his latest single 'Oh My Lady.' Producer Abolaji Collins Kuye's glimmering Afro-fusion groove complement Freedom's blend of English and Cape Verdean Kriolu sweet nothings that roll off his tongue as he reminds us that home isn't always a place, it's your person. 'Two souls locked in, fully understanding each other on every level: mind, body and soul. I wanted to capture that rare kind of love that holds you down but still lets you fly. It's like wake up to peace and falling asleep in passion,' he said in a press release. Darkoo, 'Like Dat' The British-Nigerian star heats things up again with 'Like Dat.' The pulsating Afroswing beat will immediately send any 'naughty naughty' girl's hips swinging, but her suave voice drives the track's flirtatious energy. And Darkoo plays into her affinity for Y2K sonics and aesthetics by paying homage to the music video for Sean Paul's 2003 smash 'I'm Still in Love With You' with the same bold pop of orange and yellow in the Sam Fallover-directed 'Like Dat' visual. Ayox & Qing Madi, 'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE' The self-proclaimed 'loner of Afrobeats' Ayox and Billboard's repeat 21 Under 21 honoree Qing Madi are a melodic match made in heaven on 'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE' from his sophomore EP WHEN NOBODY IS WATCHING. They swap sweet-sounding confessions about taking accountability and wanting to do better by their lovers over pulsating rhythms and thrilling saxophone riffs. Twitch 4EVA, Yung D3mz & Uche B, 'Temperature' Ghanaian artists Twitch 4EVA and Yung D3mz and producer Uche B team up on the scorching single 'Temperature.' The spurts of the log drums feel like trickling beads of sweat down the body, but the whistling ad-libs interspersed throughout the song add more ventilation. Olamide & Wizkid, 'Kai!' Two titans of the last two decades of African music, Olamide and Wizkid, teamed up for this slick cut, which layers a horn section over some traditional Afrobeats drum patterns and features both icons crooning, using their voices as additional instrumentation to augment the track. The video sees the two of them dressed to the nines in a nightclub setting, too, enhancing the overall vibe of the track. Seyi Vibez, 'Pressure' Fresh off his new partnership with EMPIRE, Nigerian street prince Seyi Vibez immediately diverted from his usual grittier sound to drop this love song, with warmer and more inviting themes than his usual gruffer fare. It's 'a complete shift from my usual sound,' he said in a press release about the track. 'It leans into melody, intimacy and raw emotion. It's smoother, softer and more intentional. I wanted to show my range, to prove that I can give you fire and tenderness in the same breath. This track is about the quiet power of love and attention. Sometimes the loudest statement is how you move when no one's watching. That's real pressure.' Fido, 'Money Moves' Fresh off his breakout smash single 'Joy Is Coming,' Fido returns with 'Money Moves,' an engaging cut with an earworm hook — quickly becoming a hallmark of his — that brings in amapiano elements to underpin his melodic vocals. If joy was coming on his last single, it's arrived in the form of stacks of cash in this one. Bhadboi OML feat. L.A.X., 'River' Bhadboi OML has been steadily building a name for himself with a string of single releases over the past year or so, and this one lands with a breezy vibe just on the cusp of summertime with a hook that implores the listener to 'cry me a river.' Teaming up with fellow Nigerian and veteran artist L.A.X. adds another dimension to this one, but Bhadboi takes the bulk of it and delivers a hit for the season. Kizz Daniel, 'Black Girl Magic' Returning out of nowhere with a new EP, the seven-song Uncle K: Lemon Chase — featuring collaborations with ODUMODUBLVCK, Angélique Kidjo, Bella Shmurda, Zlatan and more — Kizz Daniel bolsters his discography with 'Black Girl Magic,' a free-spirited, lighthearted ode to treating your girl right no matter the cost. The full project is worth checking out, but this one sets the tone. Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

Leeward CC's Food Innovation Hub to Host Hawai'i High Pressure Processing Summit
Event to showcase Hiperbaric cold processing technology for safer, quality, clean-label foods WAHIAWĀ, Hawaiʻi, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Leeward Community College's Wahiawā Value-Added Product Development Center (WVAPDC) is pushing Hawaiʻi into the future of food preservation with the launch of the state's first High Pressure Processing (HPP) Summit. Taking place on Thursday, July 17 in partnership with Hiperbaric, the global leader in HPP technology, the summit will bring local producers, food and beverage entrepreneurs, scientists, and industry leaders to the WVAPDC for a deep dive into the transformative benefits of HPP — a method that enhances food safety, extends shelf life, and supports the development of minimally processed, preservative-free products. "As the only facility in Hawaiʻi equipped with an HPP machine, we are thrilled to open our doors and share how this technology can revolutionize the way our food is made, packaged, and preserved," said Chris Bailey, WVAPDC manager. "This summit is about empowering local food producers with the tools and knowledge to scale high-quality, locally made products for Hawaiʻi and beyond." HPP is a non-thermal food preservation method that uses extremely high water pressure to inactivate harmful pathogens and spoilage microorganisms in food. In a matter of minutes, this process extends shelf life while preserving food's freshness, flavor, and nutritional quality – all without the need for preservatives and additives. To explore these benefits in greater detail, summit attendees can engage with expert panels, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities that offer hands-on insights into HPP and its impact. "Hiperbaric is proud to partner with Leeward Community College and the WVAPDC for Hawaiʻi's first High Pressure Processing Summit," said Rob Peregrina, Hiperbaric USA executive director. "This milestone event highlights the cutting-edge capabilities of our HPP technology. It also underscores our shared commitment to food innovation, safety, and sustainability while empowering Hawaiʻi's food entrepreneurs to elevate local products to national and global markets." Summit sessions will cover HPP-ready packaging and real-world applications, food safety, regulatory compliance, and success stories from Hawaiʻi food entrepreneurs who scaled their businesses with support from the WVAPDC. The event boasts an impressive speaker lineup, with experts in food science, entrepreneurship and policy, including: Chris Bailey, WVAPDC manager; Hawaiʻi State Senator Donovan M. Dela Cruz; Dr. Mario González-Angulo, Hiperbaric HPP applications manager; Dr. Carlos Peñaloza, Leeward Community College chancellor; Daniela Soto Castro, Hiperbaric HPP applications specialist; Anthony Zapata, Hiperbaric business development manager; and Hailey Zhou, WVAPDC product development manager. "This summit highlights Leeward's commitment to equipping Hawaiʻi's food innovators with state-of-the-art technology that enables them to expand into new markets with an extended shelf-life and premium offering," said Carlos Peñaloza, Leeward Community College chancellor. "By partnering with industry leaders like Hiperbaric, we are helping our local entrepreneurs compete globally while building a stronger, more resilient food economy at home." "The summit is a monumental step toward unlocking the full potential of the WVAPDC," said State Senator Donovan M. Dela Cruz. "By showcasing the Center's HPP technology and value-added services, we are reinforcing our commitment to regional economic development. These strategic investments empower local entrepreneurs and small businesses to compete effectively in both domestic and international markets." Tickets for the Hawaiʻi High Pressure Processing Summit are available at different rates. A $100 Early Bird Special will be offered through June 15, while General Admission will be $200 from June 16 to July 16.

Dreamers Investment Guild Commemorates 15 Years With Founding Speech by Sterling Preston
New York, NY, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dreamers Investment Guild today hosted a commemorative event marking its 15th year as a leader in cognitive investment education. The focal point of the ceremony was a keynote speech delivered by founder Sterling Preston, offering a rare behind-the-scenes narrative on the platform's original purpose, strategic challenges, and long-term mission to redefine how investment knowledge is understood and taught. Preston's address, delivered before an audience of Guild members, global educators, and institutional partners, traced the journey from a single curriculum prototype in 2010 to today's multi-continent education infrastructure spanning 42 countries and thousands of learners. He emphasized that the Guild was never intended to be a financial product company, but rather an 'engine for thinking clarity under market pressure.' 'When Dreamers Investment Guild was founded, most people were chasing hot tips and headlines,' said Preston. 'What was missing—and still is in many places—is the ability to structure information, judge relevance, and hold conviction under uncertainty. That's what we set out to build—a place where investment is taught as a cognitive responsibility.' During his remarks, Preston outlined three defining stages in the Guild's history: Disruption by Discipline (2010–2014): Launch of the first structured investment logic curriculum, focusing on market cycles, risk asymmetry, and probability judgment. Systematization and Global Access (2015–2019): Expansion into modular learning architecture, translation into six languages, and onboarding of institutional learners. Strategic Deepening and Identity (2020–2025): Emphasis on layered thinking, real-time feedback models, and the development of decision calibration tools rooted in behavioral data. He also used the occasion to announce the release of a founder's essay collection titled 'Patterns, Pressure, and Patience: Notes from the Cognitive Edge', which includes unpublished reflections, early drafts of Guild frameworks, and insight into the platform's long-term educational design logic. As part of the commemorative event, members were invited to participate in live forums exploring personal reflections on their own investment learning evolution. The event concluded with the symbolic unveiling of the Guild's updated mission statement: 'To make clarity a skill and strategy a structure, in every investment mind that seeks to understand.' The speech was broadcast live across the Guild's global hubs and will be archived on its institutional portal along with subtitled translations and a downloadable transcript. About Dreamers Investment Guild Founded in 2010, Dreamers Investment Guild is a global cognitive investment education platform that emphasizes structured learning, behavioral analysis, and long-term reasoning. Under the direction of Sterling Preston, the Guild continues to redefine investment education by helping individuals build clarity, strategy, and cognitive resilience in complex market environments.
