A recent study conducted by South Africa's (SA) Stellenbosch University has unveiled a concerning trend among SA teachers, who are grappling with overwhelming administrative burdens and emotional stress. 

The findings indicate that half of the educators surveyed are contemplating exiting the profession within the next ten years, attributing their decision to burnout and inadequate mental health resources. Furthermore, 40% of teachers are unwilling to accept positions in rural areas.

Dr Heleen Hofmeyr, a Senior Researcher and co-author of the report, emphasizes the critical need for immediate reforms with Lulu Gaboo.

Recent study unveils concerning trend among SA teachers

Scientists have warned of a growing risk of collisions between whales and ships off South Africa's south-western coastline, as global shipping routes shift in response to conflict in the Middle East. The rerouting of vessels around South Africa since 2023,  following the hijacking of a British-owned ship near Yemen by Houthi rebels, has significantly increased the likelihood of ships striking whales in the region. Chief scientist at the University of Pretoria's Whale Unit, Els Vermeulen, says many of these collisions occur far offshore, often causing whale carcasses to sink to the ocean floor rather than wash ashore. Lulu Gaboo spoke to Chief Scientist at the University of Pretoria's Whale Unit, Associate Professor Els Vermeulen.
