T

his year we saw our TARPs boys extending themselves academically in a slightly different way. Over most of the year, our boys and the top academics from St John’s DSG collaborated both online and in person on variations on the topic: Dare to Imagine . The groups had to produce an evidence-based essay in which they had to either dare to imagine the world, Africa or South Africa by 2032. From their research on current trends and predictions, they were required to imagine the future in ten years’ time but were also able to add one completely unsubstantiated prediction based on their own intuitions. This provided a more creative slant to their research which made for excellent and exciting reading. This culminated in a final indaba which was held on 6 September at Michaelhouse. Here the groups presented their findings and were adjudicated against a criteria of content, clarity and charisma. David Du Toit, Matthew Kennedy, Reily Elliot, Ruben Visagie, Kofi Asumaning, Nicholas Pitt and Roelof Rossouw were among the boys that participated. The best presentation was awarded to Justin Higginson, Theo Apteker and Luke Kauffman’s group who predicted a dystopian 2032 for South Africa caused by a political, economic and societal Mad Max type collapse. The best essay was awarded to Simon Bailes, Dylan Hewlett and Brent Tayengwa’s group whose predictions focused on the transition to renewables and the potential thereof in three African states, namely: The Democratic Republic of Congo, Botswana and South Africa. Finally, the best overall prize was awarded to Mark Conway, Ayabonga Shivane, Patrick Lambert, Aiden Jinnah and Johannes Zietsman. This group analysed the trends and changes predicted in life expectancy by 2032 and what the implications are for most people born today, who are expected to live well beyond 100 years, on society, the economy and the environment.
