Trek jou longe vol Karoolug op Prins Albert
Maryke Roberts
Reizen
"Nou, 12 jaar later, is die dorp vir my op haar mooiste. Met leivore, grondpaadjies hier en daar, maar met ouwêreldse sjarme en ’n dorpshotel wat vanjaar 150 jaar oud is, is dit regtig die vervlegting van oud en nuut."

For the love of coffee
Alex J Coyne
Culinair
"Bitter, darker blend coffee drinkers aren’t the same as sweet coffee drinkers. There’s a distinct difference between someone who prefers darkly roasted, whisky-filled black coffee and the next person, who might ask for a simple espresso with cream. What does your coffee say about you?"

The Commonwealth Short Story Prize 2024: an interview with Olajide Omojarabi
Jannike Bergh, Olajide Omojarabi
Literatuur
"Growing up, I saw many boys and girls give up so much to play top-flight football, which often didn’t work out as planned. To this day, it is still a dream widely chased on Nigerian streets and in underfunded football academies. I wrote this story to identify the struggles of these young people and let them know that their dreams are valid, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the pursuit of this career."

Commonwealth Short Story Prize 2024: an interview with Jayne Bauling
Jannike Bergh, Jayne Bauling
Literatuur
"I don’t plot extensively, but rather begin with the merest idea; for me, it’s the act of writing itself that unlocks the story. Once I’ve finished a story and submitted it, I feel that it is no longer mine alone, so I try not to think about it too possessively."

Schoeman en die VOC-tyd: Historikus of kroniekskrywer?
Dan Sleigh
Menings

The ICC and Palestine: an analysis of the case and its geopolitical implications
Ayesha Kajee
Opinion
"Perhaps the country most deeply affected by the ICC warrants, other than Israel itself, would be the USA. While itself not an ICC states party, US criticism of the Palestine case – in light of its previous support for the ICC warrants against Putin and Bashir, among others – exposes not only its double standards, but the shallowness of its much-touted moral compass."

Healthcare: between money and paternalism
Emelia Steenekamp
Opinion
"As is often the case with any bureaucratised system, the human is supplanted by numerical representation. For healthcare, one needs money." Emelia Steenekamp writes about her experience of private and public healthcare in South Africa, Canada and South Korea.

I am an African, what is copyright?
Philani A Nyoni
Opinion
"As an author, I am constantly asked for PDF versions of my books. Sure, go ahead and help yourself; I mean, it’s not like I paid a proofreader, paid a designer and sourced the rights to use the artwork on the covers. Sure, go ahead and have a PDF copy on WhatsApp. And cast it as far as mistletoe throughout your entire village, so everyone can read my book while I never benefit a dime off it."
