Comfort ventured deep into an unknown world when she left Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) in Southern Africa for the United Kingdom in 2004, provoked to break away from non complacency; she was hungry for a fresh start. And, she needed to finally get her life on track after it suddenly, drastically changed when she found herself a young divorcee and going through a series of bad romantic relationships which left her feeling worthless and thinking that she was a failure. She was relieved to have finally pulled it off when she got a visa to the UK but only to be confronted with different realities as she found herself battling poverty, abuse of different types, rejection, trials, loss, and got in a later in life marriage with its blessings and challenges, all which accompany a full life. In her treacherous broken journey, she blew it numerous times but thank God for those undeserved numerous second chances she benefited from. Inspiring is her life as she navigates from lowest lows to heights she never could have imagined. WHAT HAPPENED?
By foregrounding language practices in educational settings, this timely volume offers a postcolonial critique of the languaging of higher education and considers how Southern epistemologies can be used to further the decolonization of post-secondary education in the Global South. Offering a range of contributions from diverse and minoritized scholars based in countries including South Africa, Rwanda, Sudan, Qatar, Turkey, Portugal, Sweden, India, and Brazil, The Languaging of Higher Education in the Global South problematizes the use of language in various areas of higher education.

Systemic racism and sexism caused one of South Africa’s most important writers to disappear from public consciousness. Is it possible to justly restore her historical presence? Regina Gelana Twala, a Black South African woman who died in 1968 in Swaziland (now Eswatini), was an extraordinarily prolific writer of books, columns, articles, and letters. Yet today Twala’s name is largely unknown. Her literary achievements are forgotten. Her books are unpublished. Her letters languish in the dusty study of a deceased South African academic. Her articles are buried in discontinued publications. Joel Cabrita argues that Twala’s posthumous obscurity has not developed accidentally as she expose...
Real-life pro soccer player, Ethan Zohn, explains what it is like to play soccer in Africa, focusing on the culture and geography of the country.
This much-awaited volume uncovers the long-lost pages of the major African multilingual newspaper, Abantu-Batho. Founded in 1912 by African National Congress (ANC) convenor Pixley Seme, with assistance from the Swazi Queen, it was published up until 1931, attracting the cream of African politicians, journalists and poets Mqhayi, Nontsisi Mgqweth, and Grendon. In its pages burning issues of the day were articulated alongside cultural by-ways. The People's Paper - comprising both essays and an anthology - explores the complex movements and individuals that emerged in the almost twenty years of its publication. The essays contribute rich, new material to provide clearer insights into South African politics and intellectual life. The anthology unveils a judicious selection of never-before published columns from the paper spanning every year of its life and drawn from repositories on three continents. Abantu-Batho had a regional and international focus, and by examining all these dynamics across boundaries and disciplines, The People's Paper transcends established historiographical frontiers to fill a lacuna that scholars have long lamented.
