11/11 For Angolan Independence Day: Free Palestine! For Armistice Day: Ceasefire now! For Rhodesian UDI Day: End settler colonialism in the West Bank!


Lest we forget amid news of the US election & ongoing genocide in Gaza... #Mozambique has a history of electoral fraud & since the recent election police have been using violence against large-scale protest. Follow @adriano_nuvunga who is posting regular video updates.

A boy walks on the streets of Maputo wearing a paper made bullet-proof vest. As the unrest enters a crucial time, security forces should remember that their primary job is to protect children like this boy. Stop killing them! (Don't know the photographer)

We might actually have to offer them political asylum.

In case you were confused about why we don't believe politicians.

So sick of hearing 'the pandemic showed us the possibilities of online learning'. The pandemic proved online learning was a bad idea.


To this scholar of not so ancient history, 'factional activity' sounds like MPLA purges in 1977, 'personal ambition' sounds like Frelimo purges in 1975.

Our movement has been ridden with factional activity, naked careerism and personal ambition.



Indeed Mr President, indeed.

Scholars of ancient history and those with a keen interest in its study will tell you how internal decay contributed to the fall of many a great institution.     #RememberingORTambo x.com/i/broadcasts/1…



Starmer clearly took lessons from Clare Short about historical responsibility and political acuity.

It’s black history month - can we please stop talking about the past. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

Happy 100th birthday to the least bad US president of my lifetime. And the only one I ever met in person.

Andries du Toit @Plaas_werk asks why South Africa’s ‘land question’ is so stubbornly resistant to resolution, arguing we need to overcome the disjuncture between discourses of policy deliberation & those of contentious politics surrounding land. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… @PLAASuwc

All of us who have done oral history or ethnography will recognise this: regulations or legislation that are drafted with medical research in mind don't translate usefully to our disciplines.

Robert Macdonald draws on experience of fieldwork in #Zambia to raise questions around the use of written consent forms - a method often insisted on by ethics review bodies, but which may be insensitive and even detrimental to the quality of research. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

21 medical students from Al-Azhar University (Gaza) have arrived in South Africa to complete their studies. Massive thanks to the university of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

Wonka, political economy analysis. Smug defender of free market against cartels forced to face the fact that the rosy dawn of capitalism involved Loompaland becoming a warren for orange skins. Strange that the epiphanic moment involved Hugh Grant but hey.
