Head Injury assessments shouldn’t leave supporters scratching their heads
Oct 10, 2025 - South Africans are still basking in the glow of the Springboks’ emphatic 43–10 dismantling of the All Blacks in the Rugby Championship. It was a win that restored pride, silenced doubters, and reaffirmed South Africa’s place at the summit of world rugby. Now the Springboks will host Argentina in Durban as Rassie Erasmus’ men look to defend…http://news.nwu.ac.za/criminologist-says-tenderpreneur-calls-minister-groenewalds-dismissal-unjustified-unwarranted

South Africa’s graduates and the entrepreneurial crossroads
Oct 10, 2025 - In South Africa, a degree no longer guarantees a job. Youth unemployment hovers at crisis levels, and many graduates struggle to find stable work. Entrepreneurship, often touted as a remedy, is still seen by many as a last resort rather than a viable career path. The result is a paradox: at a time when the economy urgently needs new ventures, the…http://news.nwu.ac.za/africas-future-depends-ethical-leadership

The emotional welfare of South African teachers: a crisis that cannot be ignored
Oct 10, 2025 - At a time when teachers are so often regarded as the unsung heroes of society, growing attention is being paid to the emotional burden they carry on a daily basis. The question is no longer whether teachers are under pressure, but rather how long they can withstand it without severe consequences for their own well-being and for the future of South…http://news.nwu.ac.za/how-sa-can-beat-overtourism-trap

Oct 10, 2025 - Man the gates, the tourists are coming! Popular European destinations such as Barcelona, Paris and Venice are being laid to siege by an unrelenting influx of tourists, prompting residents to take to the streets in protest, sometimes disruptively so.

Prof Bismark Tyobeka: Starlink should shine in SA’s skies
Oct 10, 2025 - As Starlink’s vast constellation of satellites traverse the sky in low-Earth orbit, they evoke wonder and awe in those gazing up at the night heavens. Science fiction has become technological reality. Yet, for South Africans, the benefits remain as distant as the stars beyond our solar system. Here is why. Elon Musk’s satellite internet venture…http://theology.nwu.ac.za/af/theology/sluitingsdatums-vir-honneursaansoeke
