- Madlanga Commission must serve as a deterrent
While the Madlanga Commission represents a crucial step towards accountability, the recent public hearings have left many of us with mixed feelings. On one hand, we appreciate the transparency. However, the allegations are troubling. The evidence paints a grim picture of state capture and maladministration. The impact of the actions… Read more » - Let the chant of memory echo
The chant that echoed throughout the World Cup is a way of carrying history without bowing our heads. Argentina brought England down in the semi-final and in the stands a flag appeared: “The Malvinas are Argentine.” It was memory. The remembrance of some young men who went to frozen islands… Read more » - Youth, build yourselves a toolkit of skills
As we commemorate World Youth Skills Day, we need to have honest conversations about what a university degree or diploma does for us. A qualification alone does not give us a job anymore. At best, it is just a key that unlocks a door to opportunities to be explored. What… Read more » - Charmza
Interpreter Vusimuzi Nkabinde this week came out of retirement to put smiles in the faces of millions of South Africans with his colourful interpretation skills between English and isiZulu at the Madlanga commission on Friday.

The other focuses on artificial intelligence, a technology often… Read more » - Building accountability in an age of African mobility
South Africa’s debate about migration, informality and criminality is often reduced to a question of who must stay and who must leave. That is too narrow. The deeper issue is that systems of control have fallen away faster than systems of accountability have been built. To understand the present moment,… Read more » - Vital to tighten screws on alcohol advertising
South Africa is a society shaped by deep structural inequality, historical trauma and economic exclusion. In such a context, social harms are produced, reproduced and normalised through systems that profit from vulnerability. Alcohol abuse is one of the clearest examples of this dynamic. It is not merely an individual behavioural… Read more » - Predictability is the missing ingredient in the country’s excise debate
Every year South Africans brace for rising costs. Families adjust household budgets, businesses revisit investment plans and government balances difficult fiscal priorities.
