By Mbasa Mngazi As the examination season approaches, people may forget to take care of themselves, which can leave them mentally drained and burnt out. Take a few minutes to breathe — either go for a run, work out, or watch a movie — and have fun with friends. People forget that the human body cannot do it all. Studying is important, but so is sleep and a healthy body and mind. Trust that you can study all you want, but if your body is not responding, then no information wil

By: Munei Zoe Mbedzi One would think that after enduring oppression for so long, women would finally get to breathe. But if you are a woman or girl in Afghanistan, your rights have been stripped away as the Taliban uses oppressive rhetoric to suffocate you and silence your voice. Afghan women are not afforded the same access to education as women across much of the world. For many, education is nonexistent. For a woman in Afghanistan, her daily routine consists of waking up,

By: Lovynia Onthathile Miller In a world full of instant messages and even faster relationships, has ‘true love’ become a part of history, or is love simply evolving? We are currently in an era that is defined by digital connections and shifting social norms, which has led us to the question of ‘true love’ and true connections. The rise of hook-up culture, which has been increased by social media and dating apps, has transformed how relationships are formed and experienced. M

By: Kelsey Sutch A typical scroll on TikTok looks like this: a cute makeup tutorial, your favourite content creator, live footage of war-stricken countries where buildings are getting blown up, and people are brutally murdered, a singing video, political takes of the horror the world is facing, footage of children being bombed, scroll- scroll- scroll- until we finally close the app. With the skyrocketing use of social media and the continuous technological breakthroughs in th

By: Lulu Dlamini Everything you think you choose for yourself may not be entirely your own choice. You’ve probably heard the term “everything is psychological” before. It sounds simple, but defining it is the tricky part. Simply, it means that what we are brought up to think, feel, understand, and interpret in ways that are psychologically influenced. This can be both good and bad, and it plays out in even the simplest parts of our lives. Psychology is a broad field, as it t

By: Mukelani Cele When one has a goal but not enough resources, there is deep frustration. You are always conscious of what you do not know, even if you can clearly picture the life you wish to create. It might seem as though life has come to a standstill when there is no money for registration, no immediate academic track, and restricted access to opportunities. It's simple to think that progress has halted or, worse, that your future has been irreversibly postponed during t

By: Lathitha Matebese For many students, days are often filled with lectures and submissions, but amid that, joyful moments do not go unrecognised. For an evening, students filled the lawns with music and anticipation for a night of connection. The shared experience revealed deeper truths about the opportunities Makhanda is missing out on and where universities step in to fill the gap. On Saturday, 18 April 2026, the Helen Joseph residence at Rhodes University hosted its Bonf

By: Nomahlubi Charlie Thursday, the 19th of March, 2026, marked a distressing chapter in the small Nigerian town of Delta Asaba. The Ozoro festival, traditionally a time of cultural celebration, turned into a nightmare for many. In Oramundu Quarters, what was meant to be a festive occasion was marred by accounts of rampant violence against women. During this significant event, women and girls were advised to stay indoors during specific hours. Many unaware visitors, including

By: Amogelang Mogotsi In an era that is shaped by digital discourse, political decisions are no longer confined to institutions but are also interpreted on online platforms. South Africa’s ongoing political developments are sparking widespread debate among Generation Z, with many of the youth turning to platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook to voice their reactions through memes, commentary, and viral trends. The speed at which information spreads on social media pl

By: Mukelani Cele Life hardly ever pauses gently. It shatters your plans, upsets your expectations, and puts you in a place you never meant to be in. In one instance, you are following the same routine as everyone else, school, applications, and plans for the future, and in the next, you remain stagnant as life continues for those around you. Because we are conditioned to equate movement with success and pauses with failure, that stagnancy may be unsettling. However, that com
