Head Injury assessments shouldn’t leave supporters scratching their heads
South Africans are still basking in the glow of the Springboks’ emphatic 43–10 dismantling of the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship. It was a win that restored pride, silenced doubters, and reaffirmed South Africa’s place at the summit of world rugby. Now the Springboks will host Argentina in Durban as Rassie Erasmus’ men look to defend…http://news.nwu.ac.za/criminologist-says-tenderpreneur-calls-minister-groenewalds-dismissal-unjustified-unwarranted
Criminologist says tenderpreneur calls for Minister Groenewald’s dismissal unjustified, unwarranted
• Dr Casper Lötter: “Tenderpreneurs only care for their profits and have no regard for the crises in public safety that they have unleashed.” • “It is imperative that all South Africans resist the revival of this American monster known as the Prison-Industrial-Complex on South African soil.” • “In this struggle against crime, Groenewald…http://news.nwu.ac.za/south-africas-graduates-and-entrepreneurial-crossroads
South Africa’s graduates and the entrepreneurial crossroads
In South Africa, a degree no longer guarantees a job. Youth unemployment hovers at crisis levels, and many graduates struggle to find stable work. Entrepreneurship, often touted as a remedy, is still seen by many as a last resort rather than a viable career path. The result is a paradox: at a time when the economy urgently needs new ventures, the…http://news.nwu.ac.za/africas-future-depends-ethical-leadership
Africa’s future depends on ethical leadership
• “The future of Africa depends on ethical leaders who can guide their institutions through the complex intersection of technology, knowledge, and justice,” says Prof Linda du Plessis. • “African leaders must evolve beyond political or institutional authority to become visionary stewards of digital transformation with an unwavering commitment…http://news.nwu.ac.za/emotional-welfare-south-african-teachers-crisis-cannot-be-ignored
The emotional welfare of South African teachers: a crisis that cannot be ignored
At a time when teachers are so often regarded as the unsung heroes of society, growing attention is being paid to the emotional burden they carry on a daily basis. The question is no longer whether teachers are under pressure, but rather how long they can withstand it without severe consequences for their own well-being and for the future of South…http://news.nwu.ac.za/how-sa-can-beat-overtourism-trap
How SA can beat the overtourism trap
Man the gates, the tourists are coming! Popular European destinations such as Barcelona, Paris and Venice are being laid to siege by an unrelenting influx of tourists, prompting residents to take to the streets in protest, sometimes disruptively so. It is a tourism meltdown, and an untenable situation for those living in the very cities tourists…http://news.nwu.ac.za/south-africas-great-municipal-experiment
South Africa’s great municipal experiment
South Africa is preparing the most sweeping reconfiguration of local government since 1996. Velenkosini Hlabisa, the minister of co-operative governance and traditional affairs (CoGTA), has unveiled a plan to reduce dysfunction, shore up finances and restore public trust in the country’s 257 municipalities. At least 35 of these are now deemed…http://news.nwu.ac.za/prof-bismark-tyobeka-starlink-should-shine-sas-skies
Prof Bismark Tyobeka: Starlink should shine in SA’s skies
As Starlink’s vast constellation of satellites traverse the sky in low-Earth orbit, they evoke wonder and awe in those gazing up at the night heavens. Science fiction has become technological reality. Yet, for South Africans, the benefits remain as distant as the stars beyond our solar system. Here is why.
