Ledgers of femicide: Why every SA man thinks heâs the exception (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many South African men insist theyâre âfineâ while seven women in the country are killed daily. But personal exceptions cannot erase the evidence: femicide demands an honest audit of masculinity, complicity â and silence, too. Themba Dlamini is a husband, father of four, pastor and chartered accountant who loves South Africa â warts and all. He is the author of Village Boy: A Memoir of Fatherlessness, and writes to wrestle with hard truths, stir hope and help build a country in which h
The Monday Cane â performative justice that prioritises retribution over protection (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Africaâs cycle of violence exposes the limits of punishment after the fact when prevention, policing and intervention fail beforehand. When retribution becomes the most visible response, justice risks becoming a performance rather than a system capable of protecting people and deterring violence. Themba Dlamini is a husband, father of four, pastor and chartered accountant who loves South Africa â warts and all. He is the author of Village Boy: A Memoir of Fatherlessness, and writes to

Read excerpt
South Africaâs political system rewards politicians for staying in the job rather than delivering for the people who pay their salaries.

Themba Dlamini is a husband, father of four, pastor and chartered accountant who loves South Africa â warts and all. He is the author of Village Boy: A Memoir of Fatherle
SA is wasting talent by putting the wrong hands at the till (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Africaâs failure to recognise and develop ability is wasting talent, weakening institutions and keeping the country stuck at a crossroads. Themba Dlamini is a husband, father of four, pastor and chartered accountant who loves South Africa â warts and all. He is the author of Village Boy: A Memoir of Fatherlessness, and writes to wrestle with hard truths, stir hope and help build a country in which his children can thrive. âThirteen-fifty.â The woman had put a twenty on the counter
