Come on, Nelson. Why can't I be a star? What does a star do? Nothing. Look at the camera, flash! Smile at the camera, flash! Look at everybody, big eyes! Say nothing. Stars don't do, stars just be 🥺🔥❤️.

it never stops making my heart twinkle how the best things happen to me when i am brave, when i do what i don’t want to do, when i give up something (my peace, my comfort, my time), when i go against “common” advice, when i trust myself and my appetite for risk/change

The fire at the Botha Sigcau building isn’t just about bricks and timber, it’s about history. The land records of the former Transkei. People’s title deeds, keys to ownership, dignity, & hope. Though poor service delivery remains a feature in the province of the Eastern Cape.

If you read one thing today, read this truth about @SERI_RightsSA, its work, its clients & allies, the vicious threats it has faced for standing up for the rights of poor communities, shared by its leader. (If you are a young lawyer, law student or activist, you could find no better role model than Nomzamo Zondo.) Having been part of the SERI team and leadership remains one of my proudest life chapters, but Nomzamo speaks true when she tells of the toll that it has taken on us all - the online trolling, lies, death threats to SERI staff, and the extreme violence experienced by our clients day after day. Only the solidarity of allies enables SERI's work to continue. And hope.

Wind farms in SA are required to monitor bird fatalities but conservationists say reporting gaps, limited monitoring periods, and lack of transparency mean the true impact on vultures may be underestimated. @andee_mat investigates ➡️ bit.ly/4cRhpak
