Neighbours watched Musa Khawula chase Wandile Khambule down and stab him. Screams to stop. Wandile tried to run. He didn't make it. Khawula admitted the stabbing - claimed self-defence. Cool story. Yet he's been out here living his best life, dropping threads and doing victory

STELLA NDABENI I appeal to both camps of Oscar Mabuyane and Lulama Ngcukayithobi to use the prayers they received during the Easter Weekend church visits to unite. They must put the lives of EC people first. Otherwise a victor in the conference may end up celebrating a pyrrhic

They’re trying to come back. So they’re trying to facilitate a regime change that will align as closely as possible with a system they sorely miss.

Ziyanda is discoursing the politics of marginalisation, intersectionality and desirability. ALL black women experience marginalisation due to their race and gender. Darker skinned women experience an additional layer of harm via colourism. Her observation is that few light

South Africa's history curriculum is set to undergo an overhaul. The changes aim to make the subject more African-centred in classrooms. The proposed curriculum, which would be compulsory, includes teaching South African history from before 1652. brnw.ch/21x1rLe
