Re-evaluating the contributions made by authors through the ages

This month, a partnership between Edward Snell & Co., WWF South Africa, and Environmental & Rural Solutions (ERS) has delivered clean, sustainable drinking water to thousands of residents in the Eastern Cape. 

By protecting and restoring four underground spring systems, the project is tackling water access at its source, offering a long-term solution in a country where over 3 million people still struggle to find safe water.

We spoke to Yonela Sipeka, On-Ground Project Lead at the Environmental & Rural Solutions, who will give us first-hand insights from the community.

Partnership brings clean water to rural Eastern Cape

The winner of the 2025 Dramatic Artistic Literary Rights Organisation (DALRO) Visual Arts Merit Award, Tshepo Bopape is set to present his solo exhibition Sea-Crits In The Water from next week (the 3rd of April  to April 30) at the DALRO headquarters in Bramley, a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa following a nine-month-long artist residency.

His work explores the relationship between water and African spirituality, drawing from personal experiences in pursuit of spiritual redemption. Sea-Crits In The Water emerges from his inquiry into how water serves as both a life-sustaining force and a mechanism for spiritual healing.

He joined us on the line to talk about this.

Community involvement in protecting each other is vital, even when adequate protection services and
structures exist and are operating effectively.

When communities come together, they create safer environments and offer essential support to victims (men, women and children alike) of abuse.

We discuss the importance of community support and engagement  in addressing personal crises, particularly in cases of abuse, distress and other social ills with cultural expert, Dr. Gugu Mazibuko and Gogo Mkhulu Abel, a Traditional Practitioner.
