Marvellous Tshuma – The Queen of baTonga

Written by Upenyu Makoni-Muchemwa People living with disabilities (PLWDs) face multiple and complex challenges in Zimbabwe. As well as the challenges unique to their disability, people living with disabilities also face social and structural exclusion leading to negative stereotyping and stigmatisation and are less likely to participate in most social activities and governance processes.

More than corruption and poor governance – Integrity Icon in SA on municipal distress

By Dr Sarah Dlamini As a paediatric doctor in the public health system, I see the fault lines of segregation in our communities daily, and how the failure of municipal services is not experienced in the same ways by all South Africans. I live in Msunduzi, KwaZulu-Natal, where municipal services have been steadily collapsing. As a resident, I have watched the collapse with despair. For years the municipality has been hobbling along, struggling to deliver equitable services efficiently, but it has now crossed the tipping point on account of maladministration and corruption.

Public Trust and the Nigerian Police: The Abba Kyari Story

Nowadays, many citizens no longer look to the nation’s security apparatus for protection, but rather pray not to encounter them in [...]
