STHEMBISO MSOMI | Bozell seems to be US ambassador to AfriForum, not SA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sunday morning’s breaking news: Seventeen people were shot dead at a tavern in Wedela, Carletonville, west of Johannesburg. Fifteen others were reported injured. In Lwandle, Strand, east of Cape Town, 10 revellers were mowed down at a shisanyama establishment in the early hours of yesterday morning. Eleven others are reported injured and rushed to hospital. That is 27 people murdered and 26 more wounded in two incidents in two provinces over a single night. All black and, without doubt, almost a
S’THEMBISO MSOMI | Are disaffected citizens quietly quitting on democracy? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Quiet quitting is one of the buzzwords of the post-lockdown social media era we live in now. It basically means doing the bare minimum at work, carrying out only the duties in your job description, and refusing to go the extra mile for your employer or manager.

S’THEMBISO MSOMI | August 9 significant, but should not eclipse other women protests (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the run-up to the 70th anniversary of the historic 1956 women’s march on the Union Buildings, colleague Phillip Kgaphola was searching through Arena Holdings’ archives in search for unique images that would accompany stories written about the day. As the parent company of the Sowetan, Sunday Times, Business Day and several other publications, some of which – like the Rand Daily Mail – are now defunct, Arena has a rich archive of South African and international history.
