When Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova drew attention to the scale of World Bank support channelled to Ukraine, she placed a hard question before the Global South. Why does money move so quickly when a state serves Western strategic power, while African countries carrying the long damage of colonial pillage receive lectures about restraint, governance and fiscal discipline? The World Bank says donors and partners have mobilised about $90 billion in financi

Late last month, the Mail & Guardian celebrated Freedom Day with a special Freedom Day edition. Unfortunately, I was not part of that edition because I took some leave to welcome my daughter to the world. Nevertheless, our editor-in-chief Japhet Ncube asked the newsroom to pour into the paper what freedom meant to them. When I got back to the newsroom, I read the incredible edition and felt like the opportunity passed me by to express what Freedom meant to me but I was also d

Advances in Morocco’s aerospace, automotive and phosphate sectors have pushed the kingdom to the top of Africa’s industrialisation rankings, overtaking long-time leader South Africa.

The last few Audi’s I’ve had on test have all left me more than satisfied. From the small A3 all the way to their flagship performance SUV, the RS Q8, Audi has just been finding the sweet spot when mixing comfort, technology and looks. When the A5 was launched last year, I noticed that this model began a shift in the brand’s design language and styling. It’s almost more sharp and refined with elements that really embrace the technological shift that vehicles have undergone in

With the 15 June deadline approaching, some parents have voiced concerns that the centralised placement portal sidelines them from well-resourced schools.

As the final exam period approaches, Grade 11 to 12 learners across South Africa enter a high-stakes academic phase where their marks will begin to shape access to university programmes and bursary opportunities. At this level, strong performance comes from how learners structure time and revision schedules, as well as how they engage with their workloads over several weeks instead of cramming over a few days.

Geely entered South Africa in 2007, but they were gone by 2009. I have a personal story about those old Geely’s that probably tells you why. My brother-in-law owned an old Geely CK 1.3 GT. On a short trip from Vereeniging to Johannesburg, I noticed him pull over to the side of the road. Naturally, I turned around and went to see what was wrong. Well, it was just a flat tyre, but it was odd. It almost looked like something was cutting through the wheel instead of a nail going

It’s almost insane how many Chinese brands have entered the market in such a short space of time. What’s even more baffling is how good their cars are actually getting while still maintaining the price points that made people buy them in the first place. Enter Changan, a brand that has sold over 30 million vehicles worldwide and almost 3 million vehicles in 2025 alone.
