GENDER HUB WEDNESDAY
By Denisia Adams
Hello to you and good day. Today on the Morning Cruise means gender on our Gender Hub show. Check out what we had going on:

WORD(s) OF THE DAY
prudent:
acting with or showing care and thought for the future.

S.A TRIVIA QUESTION
Where does the Venda people of South Africa come from?

A - The Great Lakes of Central Africa B – Ethopia C – North Africa

Answer: A - The Great Lakes of Central Africa

Venda culture has an interesting mix of other cultures - it appears to have incorporated a variety of East African, Central African, Nguni, and Sotho characteristics. For example, the Venda forbid the consumption of pork, a prohibition that is common along the East African coast. They also practice male circumcision, which is common among many Sotho, but not among most Nguni peoples.

DID YOU KNOW
About 13% of people are left-handed. Up from 11% in the past. Also did you know the muscle that lets your eye blink is the fastest muscle in your body. It allows you to blink 5 times a second. On average, you blink 15 000 times a day. Women blink twice as much as men.

1. Basic safety rules and to follow the rules and instructions well;
