Now we can update how much contact teaching time was lost in 2020 and m...

The modern research university was designed to produce new knowledge and to pass that knowledge on to students. North American universities over the last 100 years have been exceptionally good at that task. But this is not all that universities can do or should do. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it even easier to reduce teaching to knowledge dissemination and to obscure other, equally important, f...

A World Gone Mad is a collection of 15 stories written by the students. All come from rural villages or low income, highly populated settlements on the edge of metropolitan areas (also known as “townships”). Some of them wrote their stories on their cell phones. In March 2020, when South African president Cyril Ramaphosa announced the country’s first lockdown, students had to evacuate campus and r...

South Africa’s youth unemployment crisis is fuelled by a shortage and mismatch of skills, but also by a lack of internships to help younger work seekers obtain the experience they need to secure permanent jobs. Covid-19 isn’t helping. Civil society and corporate players are working to solve this often-overlooked challenge with an innovative youth talent hub that matches skilled youngsters with pra...

It is often said that Africa ought to learn from the west – but not much is said about what there is to learn from Africa. At this point in time, there is in actual fact much that the rest of the world can learn from Africa. Africa has come a long way in shaking off the image of a continent that is consistently dependent on and trailing the rest of the world for investment, development, direction...

An all-too-common scenario is for women to die with a protection order in their hand, a tragic loss of a life that could have been prevented if there were fewer systemic gaps in providing services to victims of domestic violence. These gaps can be plugged through localised multi-stakeholder, community-coordinated solutions using existing resources within the community. This is according to Advocat...

Once South Africa’s strict new drunk-driving laws come into effect this month, you won’t be allowed behind the wheel of a motor vehicle after even one drink. Currently, it’s still legal to get behind the wheel if your blood-alcohol level is under 0.05g per 100ml. The new National Road Traffic Amendment Act totally prohibits the consum...

Sex, politics and religion are among the many topics some of us still believe to be best avoided in polite conversation. Tissue and organ donation sits comfortably among these. It may be a difficult conversation but tissue donation is a crucial part of improving the quality of life for patients with various medical problems. In most instances, there is no substitute for human tissue products, and...

Not everyone with cancer will have changes in sexual desire or how they feel about themselves sexually. You might not notice any changes at all. But you might find cancer changes your body image affecting the way you feel about yourself and sex. Some people lose interest in sex and feel very tired.

In 2017, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) report survey found that only 24% of LGBTQ youth said they can “definitely” be themselves as an LGBTQ person at home. Studies have shown the positive health outcomes for LGBTQ youth whose families are supportive and accepting — which include great self-esteem and resilience, and a lower risk of depression, hopelessness, and substance abuse. We are talking a...
