    A taste of home (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Porridge is the smell that takes Nokx Majozi home. Not truffles, browned butter, jus reduced for three days or any of the other things a chef who’s spent years in some of London’s best kitchens might be expected to wax lyrical about. But it’s often the simple things in life, like porridge, that give us the most joy. “The smell always reminds me of my grandma in the morning,” she says. “Every day there was porridge — whether it was sorghum porridge, amabele or maize meal porridge.” Then come the

    EDITOR’S LETTER | What grandmothers see that others don’t (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    My partner once told me about a survey conducted among the workers at his small aeroplane manufacturing company. Among the usual questions about work, ambition and life was this one: Who, in the entire world, do you most admire? You might expect Nelson Mandela, a football star, a musician, perhaps some improbable American billionaire. My partner was, I think, pretty disappointed that nobody nominated the man who signs their pay cheques. It seems less extraordinary when you consider South Africa,

    I’m sorry to report that the world’s most famous biohacker and seeker of eternal youth (not to be confused with eternal bliss), Bryan Johnson, has had to come to terms with his own fallible nature. The endless prodding and needling, the insanely ascetic regime, the finely calibrated diet and consistently boring daily fare, the vampiric transfusions, perfected sleep patterns, and the exact same daily programme have unfortunately not panned out quite as well as expected.

    Nambitha Ben-Mazwi: The ‘Morning Star’ rises (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Before Nambitha Ben-Mazwi became an actress, before Netflix, international film festivals, and the terrifying experience of discovering that millions of Germans were about to watch her perform in their language, there was a blind grandmother who could somehow see her perfectly. Ben-Mazwi’s grandmother, Nanziwe Florence Ben-Mazwi, called her “my star”. Nambitha would tiptoe into her house trying to surprise her and, despite having lost her sight later in life, her grandmother would immediately kn

    What deserves to be remembered? That’s a question that’s currently a focus in humanities courses throughout the Western world. Statues of kings and statesmen line the streets of big cities. Wars get museums. Historical events acquire plaques, archives and solemn men giving speeches at anniversaries. Meanwhile, most of human life — eating breakfast, making dinner, buttering a slice of bread, opening the same cupboard door 10,000 times, wearing a path across a floor — disappears almost as soon as
