On 9 August 1956, more than 20 000 women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest the apartheid pass laws, demanding dignity, equality and freedom.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is changing the way the world works. Computers, robotics, artificial intelligence, automation and digital systems are becoming part of everyday life. Children growing up today will enter a world where coding and problem-solving will be as important as reading and writing. But how do we prepare learners in rural South Africa for this future when most schools have no or limited access to expensive technology? The answer may be lying inside a simple domino box.
EcoTraining, Africa’s pioneer in field guide and wildlife education, scooped the Innovation Award at Africa’s Travel Indaba in Durban last week.
June is a month of outcomes. What’s been building over the past few months begins to show – in work, relationships, finances, and personal direction. This isn’t about judgement. It’s about evidence. Where you committed and followed through, there’s progress. Where you hesitated or avoided, things feel stuck or exposed. The key in June is not to react emotionally to what shows up. Treat everything as information. Results – good or bad – are simply feedback pointing you toward what needs to be adjusted. There’s power in this kind of clarity. Once you see what’s working and what isn’t, your next move becomes far more effective
Dina and Ernst Marais drove into the Pafuri on a Sunday morning to do what all of us come here to do. By Friday, fellow tourists had found their bodies floating in the Levubu River at Crooks Corner – stabbed to death, their green Ford Ranger gone. Their killers remain free. The South African state, as best as can be established, was somewhere else entirely.
Trails guide, conservationist, gentleman. Gary walked the bush with a quiet authority.

Running from November 2025 to July 2026, the project builds directly on lessons learned during SEF 1 and SEF 2, with a strong focus on mathematical proficiency through the numiknow® approach.
magine a state-of-the-nation address delivered without triumph or ceremony. The President rises, not to announce renewal, but to offer thanks. He thanks the households for installing solar panels that kept the lights on when the grid could not. He thanks parents who found ways to send their children to private schools as public classrooms became more crowded and less reliable. He thanks communities that drilled wells when taps ran dry, and businesses that paved roads, fixed wells, installed streetlights, and hired private security as policing quietly retreated. Applause is restrained, even respectful. The speech sounds practical and appreciated. It also reads as a quiet admission that the state has withdrawn from the everyday work of holding society together.
