Jaxx Of All Trades

The 2026 Budget Speech is out!  Here’s what it actually means for South Africans. In this episode, I break down the big numbers (debt, deficit, growth) in plain language and then zoom into real life: your tax, your petrol and transport costs and your savings. We talk bracket creep, tax‑free savings and the higher VAT threshold for hustlers and small businesses, plus what’s happening with grants No jargon, no spin! Just real talk about how this Budget lands in your wallet and your future. #MakeItMakeSenseWithJaxx #BudgetSpeech2026 #OMBank

Why does the SONA debate matter more than the speech? In this episode of Jaxx of All Trades, Jaxx breaks down how the ANC, DA, EFF, MK, IFP, ActionSA and Rise Mzansi responded to SONA 2026  and what the President said back. From “you auctioned our country” to “we are a nation of builders,” we unpack what each party is really offering South Africans in an election year.

Jaxx returns to JOAT with a transformative story about dreams, readiness, and how saying yes to opportunities changes your trajectory. From brand partnerships to moderating panels with top politicians, she shares the story for getting ready to walk through doors when they open. Because luck isn't random. It's a preparation meeting possibility.

In the season Finale we  unpack how social media lost its spark. From the early days of Mxit, Tumblr, and Vine to today’s algorithm-driven feeds, we trace how platforms turned joy into a marketplace and made users the product. But here’s the twist: it’s not about dragging brands or influencers, it’s about tech companies rewriting the rules of fun. So how do we reclaim social media as a space for play, chaos, and connection?
