Anger and confusion bubbling under strained calm in Mozambique

A recent United Nations study found that 95% of children in South Africa have access to the internet regularly – and their online behaviour exposes them to online violence, exploitation and abuse. Some 70% of children surveyed by UNICEF said they use the internet without parental consent. This is a worldwide phenomenon and it is against this backdrop that Australia, THIS WEEK, announced plans to ban children under the age of 16 from social media as part of a push to protect young people's mental health. The proposed laws are to be tabled in Australia's parliament next week.  Campaigners say bans are needed to protect children from harmful content, misinformation, bullying and other social pressures. While most experts agree that social media platforms can harm the mental health of adolescents, many are split over the efficacy of trying to outlaw them all together. Some argue that bans only delay young people's exposure to apps such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, instead of teaching them how to navigate complex online spaces.

Social Media Ban: Digital literacy and education key to protecting children from social media harm

Power utility Eskom THIS WEEK announced unprecedented plans to interrupt power supply to the City of Johannesburg at certain pre-determined times of the day from next month, citing City Power's failure to pay R4.9-billion in arrears. If Eskom goes ahead with it's plans, that will leave hundreds of thousands of households in South Africa's largest city in the dark even when many of them are fully paid up customers with City Power or have pre-paid meters. When metros or municipalities fail to pay Eskom on time or at all, it forces Eskom to borrow additional money at premiums to fund operational costs, particularly as the country's municipal debt arrears to Eskom stands at R90-billion. The power utility is expected to announce a decision on the intended electricity interruptions in the middle of December. The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse - OUTA - plans to submit written representations on the matter. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to  OUTA  Executive Director, Advocate Stephanie Fick
