Why are Canberrans so fixated on huge houses?
Coombs house by The Mill. Photos: Supplied. With 2020 being what it is, a year of natural disaster, climate crisis and global pandemic, it has offered up a great deal of time to think.

Kenya: Recognising Intersex People Opens Access to Fundamental Rights in Kenya
Kenya has become the first country in Africa to collect data on intersex people in its national census which runs to the end of August. Intersex refers to people born with physical characteristics that do not fit the typical definitions of male or female. Boniface Ushie responds to questions on the context and significance of Kenya's decision. Kenyan law does not recognise intersex as a separate gender. So why has the Kenya Bureau of Statistics classified intersex as a "third gender"?
South Africa: How a Rural Community Hopes to Retain Spiritual Life Undermined By Western Ways
Around the world, the introduction of western ways of life has changed indigenous communities. This has often happened by decreasing or by limiting their access to the resources they need.

South Africa: What Student Teachers Learn When Putting Theory Into Classroom Practice
The preparation of student teachers is a critical aspect of their journey to being professional teachers.

South Africa: 'Invasion' - an Exhibition That Presents an Artist's Healing Touch
Some people disparage beautiful art because it seems to deny the painful complexity of life. They feel it is just sentimental and it leaves them with a sense that something is lacking. But for other viewers, beautiful art can also provide hope and healing. The difference in responses to beauty might be related to the medium of the artwork. Invasion, a forthcoming exhibition of work by the South African artist Ernst van der Wal, seems to resist or overcome this difference.
South Africa: The White People Who Spied During Apartheid
In his new book, "Betrayal: The Secret Lives of Apartheid Spies", award-winning journalist Jonathan Ancer explores why it is that spies spy. This interest, and this book, follow on the publication in 2017 of his acclaimed book, Spy. Uncovering Craig Williamson, which delved into the life and treachery of a single apartheid spy. If the first book was considered, this one seems a trifle hurried. Nevertheless, it does keep its focus on trying to "understand why spies spy".
Tunisia: Remembering Essebsi, the Late Maestro of Tunisian Politics
The world's oldest president, Tunisia's Béji Caïd Essebsi, passed away in July at the age of 92. He had a long legacy in Tunisian politics which has left many feeling like the father of their nation has gone. Béji Caïd Essebsi's was born in the village of Sidi Bou Saïd on November 29th, 1926. He lived in the capital Tunis and Hammam-Lif, a coastal town about 20km away from Tunis. He got to know these neighbourhoods well, as he did the rural areas surrounding his parents' farm in the Fahs region.

It's not known exactly how many gangs there are in South Africa's Western Cape province, but gang membership has been estimated at more than 100 000.

Africa: How African Footballers Who Play in Europe Spend Their Money
African footballers - like other players from developing countries - invariably earn sums of money far greater than their contemporaries back home. On average, some African players in the elite leagues can earn between €15,000 and €100,000 or more as salaries. Those in leagues one, two and three can also earn around €10,000-50,000, €5000-20,000 and €2000-10,000. A few high-profile players earn more than €150,000 per month in prestigious European clubs.
Ghana: How Activists Changed the Course of an Inner-City Project in Ghana
Ghana is one of the few countries in Africa where more than 50% of the population is permanently resident in cities. This urban population is located primarily in two cities; the capital Accra, and Kumasi. Both Accra, and Kumasi are home to 2 million people. In the face of rapid urbanisation, the existing infrastructure continues to be extensively overstretched. This includes markets, housing, water, sanitation, roads and power.
Africa: It's Time to Break the Deadlock Over Africa's Ivory Trade - Here's How
analysis By Duan Biggs and Matthew H. Holden Fierce debates over ivory have dominated the global conference for the international trade in species for 30 years, since the first international ivory ban was instituted in 1989. This is no different at the 18th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) wrapping up in Switzerland this week.
Ghana's Year of Return 2019 - Traveler, Tourist or Pilgrim?
"We may call ourselves African Americans but we are truly disconnected from Africa. I say WE because I'm not excluded! I thought 'my people' came from South Carolina ... but this heritage was only a small part of my people's journey that began in Ghana, a place that had kings well before Europe had theirs." These were the words of American actor and director Michael Jai White, who visited Ghana towards the end of 2018.
Ethiopia's Future Is Tied to Water - a Vital Yet Threatened Resource in a Changing Climate
In July Ethiopians planted 350 million trees in a single day. This was part of the country's national green legacy initiative to counter environmental degradation and climate change. The initiative ultimately aims to grow 4 billion trees across the country. Ethiopia has long struggled with land degradation problems in part caused by unsustainable agricultural practices - like vegetation clearance and overgrazing, among others. These pressures are increasing as the population grows.
South Africa: Critics of South Africa's Judges Are Raising the Temperature - Legitimate, or Dangerous?
The South African judiciary is once more centre stage in the political drama unfolding around the battle for supremacy within the governing African National Congress (ANC). In any constitutional democracy worth the name, the judiciary will be the ultimate guarantor of the rule of law and the supremacy of the Constitution.
South Africa Close to 'Junk Status' From All Three Rating Agencies. What Would Follow?
The rating agency Fitch recently revised the outlook on South Africa's long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating down from "stable" to "negative". A credit rating outlook indicates the potential direction of the country's rating over the intermediate term, typically six months. Fitch pointed to the expected increase in the government debt-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio. This would make it more difficult to stabilise public debt.
Zimbabwe: Repression and Dialogue in Zimbabwe - Twin Strategies That Aren't Working
Since the November 2017 coup that toppled Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe and the elections in 2018, the regime of President Emmerson Mnangagwa has forged two forms of rule. These have been based on coercion on the one hand, and on the other dialogue. Following the 2018 general elections and the violence that marked its aftermath, the Mnangagwa regime once again resorted to coercion in the face of the protests in January 2019.
Congo-Kinshasa: Why the DRC Ebola Outbreak Was Declared a Global Emergency and Why It Matters
In mid-July the WHO declared the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. At the time over 2000 cases had been reported. A factor that is likely to have influenced the decision was that a new case had been noted near Goma near the border with Rwanda. The fear was that the disease would spread through Goma, a city of 2 million people, and that it would rapidly cross into Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi.
Congo-Kinshasa: How Outbreaks Like Ebola Extract Huge Social and Economic Costs

These include the level of contagion, availability of effective remedies, the responsiveness of health systems and the impact on human life such as disability and death.
Africa: The AU's Role in Brokering Sudan Deal Offers Lessons for the Future
The African Union (AU) came into existence after a restructuring of its predecessor - the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). It was created to build an integrated, prosperous and peaceful continent. While the AU has a clear mandate to deepen the process of economic and political integration on the continent, its predecessor was run on the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of member states. This lessened its ability to resolve member states' internal disputes.
South Africa: How a Chief Defied Apartheid and Upheld Democracy for the Good of His People
analysis By Jill E. Kelly The recently released report of President Cyril Ramaphosa's advisory panel on land reform, and the latest efforts to force through two controversial traditional authority bills, point to the continued legacies of changes to the relationship between traditional leaders, their followers, and land in South Africa's history. The panel calls for a resolution to the "contending philosophies around land tenure" -- those of individual rights and those of communalism.
Mozambique Case Study Shows That Poverty Is About Much More Than Income
What does it mean to be poor? On the face of it, this may not sound like a very difficult question. In developed countries, almost all official and everyday definitions refer to poverty in income terms. In this sense, low consumption power (income) and poverty are essentially synonymous. Outside of developed countries, a similar view of poverty frequently gets headlines. In its global comparisons, the World Bank has adopted the (in)famous poverty line of US$1.90 a day.
South Africa Is Caught in the Global Hype of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
South Africa is caught up in the global hype of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). This is distracting it from the unfinished business of redressing inequality and creating the preconditions for an inclusive digital economy and society. Reinvented by Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum (WEF), 4IR technologies are presented as having the potential to propel digitally-ready countries into a new age of unprecedented economic prosperity.

Here's Why Burning Out at Work Can Actually Be the Best Thing for Your Career
Many of my clients come to me at their worst. They’ve often hit a breaking point in their career, whether it’s due to a micromanaging boss, a stalled trajectory, or the unbearableness of bearing it all. While it may seem counterintuitive, hitting rock bottom can be the best possible thing for your career. After all, there is nowhere to go but up. Once you’ve burnt out, that’s when you finally recognize that change is necessary.
Life, Death, And Parathas
Cultural tradition sweetens our celebrations, imbues our milestones with meaning, and connects our present to a rich and varied past. Ritual also helps us survive life’s hardest moment: death. And what is one of our deepest rituals? Feeding each other, and feeding our souls.
