Marlon Parker: Using the mobile instant messaging platform MXit, Marlon Parker, an information technology lecturer at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, has over the past seven months initiated a rehabilitation programme for drug addicts in the Cape Flats region that has spread out as far as the Eastern Cape. His aim is to use technology to empower underprivileged communities in an area that is rife with poverty, unemployment, drugs and gangsterism.

Vergal Walton: Project manager and social entrepreneur, Vergal Walton, shares his insights on blogging about his favourite author, Jack Higgins. He owns over 100 books by this reclusive Irish thriller author and is slowly but surely finding his feet using Wordpress. The most interesting experience has been that readers of the blog confuse him with the author, who has no website, even though he published a disclaimer on the frontpage of www.jackhiggins.co.za

Ramon Thomas will be the host and MC.
