South African Court Dismisses ‘White Genocide’ Claims

A South African court has ruled that claims of a white genocide in the country are "clearly imagined" and "not real," contradicting statements by US President Donald Trump and his adviser Elon Musk. BBCAfrica says the court also blocked a $2.1 million donation from Grantland Michael Bray to the white supremacist group Boerelegioen, deeming it invalid and against public policy. Trump and Musk have previously made controversial remarks about racial […]

      By Alexandre Frambéry-Iacobone, Université de Bordeaux   France was hurt, divided and in need of a great federating event after recent elections. And Emmanuel Macron framed the Olympic Games as an opportunity to “unite around a France that welcomes the world”, calling for a “political truce” during that time.

Bennian/Getty Images, CC BY     By John Nakuta, University of Namibia     The Namibian high court recently invalidated the country’s colonial-era “sodomy law”, which had made consensual sexual acts between men a criminal offence.

Zulu culture and sexual orientation: South African study reveals the health costs of stigma

      By Ikekhwa Albert Ikhile, University of South Africa   Same-sex relationships are legal in South Africa and protected by the constitution. Unfair discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is against the law. But in practice many cultures don’t necessarily see this as a right. Traditional Zulu culture, for example, perceives same-sex relationships and sexual intercourse as taboo and unAfrican. Statements like “real men are not gay” […]

Economic inclusion of people with disabilities cornerstone for Economic growth

    By Josef Kefas Sheehama   It is indeed regrettable that people with disabilities continue to face exclusion from the economy. We are excluded from employment, skills training, education, and other critical areas of development. The latest reports indicated that 95% of people who have disabilities in the Kunene region are unemployed, while in the Khomas region, it is nearly 70% according to the Namibia Association for Wheelchair Users.

Romance isn’t always rosy, sometimes it’s sickening – lovesickness, erotomania and death by heartbreak explained

Gorodenkoff/Shutterstock Natasha McKeever, University of Leeds and Luke Brunning, University of Leeds Hundreds of millions of people worldwide use dating apps. But only half of users say that they have had positive experiences. Indeed, a shocking 11% of female users under 50 have received threats of harm. Surely there’s a better way to build these apps.
