ReconAfrica plans to drill 12 more wells in Kavango forest. Environmentalists are objecting to the proposed drilling at communal and commercial farms. Frack Free Namibia has objected. The deadline to submit input or raise opposition is 27 February namibian.com.na/index.php?id=1…

The headline to this story is deceiving. Please note that rhinos have gone extinct twice in Botswana's recent history. And quite notably NOT during the current regime. So hold your horses on critiquing rhino conservation in present-day Botswana. Best to take a longterm view

In 2004, Elrena van der Spuy at the University of Cape Town's Centre of Criminology introduced me to the literature on police organisational culture, and changed my life. Join us on 14 March to honour her many contributions to research and teaching in SA: forms.gle/Rm6hM852SkmUsU…

The Neocolonial Oil Racket: A Canadian company has begun drilling near Africa’s protected Okavango River Delta, promising jobs for locals and endless fossil fuel for investors. So far, there’s been no oil — but there have been big profits for the founders rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

This is absolutely devastating news for journalists and researchers alike. We should all be very very concerned and help amaBhungane appeal the court order. It is in our public interest. Unbelievable that media freedoms are no longer protected in South Africa in 2023.
