It has revolutionised industries, enhanced communication, and improved our quality of life. However, this rapid advancement also comes with significant drawbacks that cannot be ignored. As we navigate this digital age, it is crucial to recognise both the benefits and the detrimental effects of technology on humanity. This editorial explores

As we navigate the complexities of modern existence, it becomes increasingly evident that humanity has positioned itself as a formidable adversary to the natural world. The relentless pursuit of profit and convenience has led to practices that not only exploit our environment but also threaten the delicate balance of ecosystems. I would like to shed light on ten alarming examples illustrating how human beings have become enemies of nature, alongside practical solutions to mit

Modern colonization in Africa is characterized by economic exploitation, cultural imperialism, and political manipulation rather than the direct territorial control seen in the past. This new form of colonization manifests through various mechanisms, including foreign investments, resource extraction, and the influence of multinational corporations, often at the expense of local populations. Below are key aspects and evidence of this phenomenon across the continent:

In recent years, mental health has emerged as one of the most pressing issues facing our communities and societies. As we navigate an increasingly complex world, marked by economic instability, social unrest, and a global pandemic, the ramifications on mental well-being are profound and pervasive. The harsh socioeconomic conditions we face today are not merely background noise; they are breeding grounds for a generation increasingly burdened by mental health disorders.

In the professional world, the phrase “not all heroes wear capes” rings true, but unfortunately, it’s equally valid that “not all colleagues uplift.” Toxic individuals in the workplace can create an environment that stifles growth, creativity, and morale. These are the people who wake up every day ready to bring negativity and conflict into the office, often fueled by their own unfulfilled aspirations and personal frustrations. As they approach the twilight of their careers,

In today’s corporate landscape, the abuse of power in the workplace has emerged as a critical issue that demands urgent attention. As the Head of tuNEWS Editorial, I feel compelled to address the insidious practices that some individuals in positions of authority engage in, which exploit vulnerable employees and prospective candidates alike. Whether through solicitation of sexual favors or bribery, this abuse of power not only undermines the integrity of organizations but als

The decisions made by parents can have profound effects, shaping not only the lives of their children but also the fabric of society as a whole. As we delve into this complex subject, it becomes evident that the outcomes of parenthood can be both positive and negative, influenced by a myriad of factors ranging from so

Religion, an institution designed to provide comfort, guidance, and a sense of community, has paradoxically become a significant source of conflict and division in our world. While it has the potential to inspire compassion and unity, it often leads to discord, violence, and a distorted sense of morality. This editorial aims to critically examine the impact of religion on society, highlighting key areas where its influence has been both detrimental and beneficial, and proposi

In today’s fast-paced world, we find ourselves trapped in a cycle that masquerades as normal living. Yet, when we peel back the layers of our daily existence, we uncover a disturbing truth: life as we know it is a carefully orchestrated performance designed to maximize profits at the expense of our well-being, dignity, and freedom. This editorial aims to expose the systematic manipulation we endure across various industries and the societal gullibility that allows it to persi

In recent weeks, President Donald Trump's decision to cut aid to South Africa has ignited a heated debate among political analysts, commentators, and leaders alike. Many have characterized this move as dangerous, claiming it will have detrimental effects on the already struggling nation. However, I contend that this decision could be a pivotal moment for South Africa—an opportunity to break free from a cycle of dependency and incentivize genuine accountability and governance.

As we stand at a critical crossroads in the history of humanity, we must confront a growing menace that threatens our very existence: the manipulation of our food systems. In recent times, particularly in South Africa and across the African continent, a disturbing trend has emerged where the sanctity of organic food and farming practices is being undermined by profit driven agendas. The so-called "innovative agriculture," touted by some as a means to maximise yields, is, in f

In a nation where economic challenges are an everyday reality for many citizens, the extravagant culture surrounding political speeches delivered by our leaders emerges as a glaring example of fiscal irresponsibility. From the State of the Nation Address (SONA) to the State of the Province Address (SOPA) and various speeches by Ministers, Premiers, and Mayors, these events have transformed into costly spectacles that taxpayers are expected to fund. The time has come to critic

Today, we proudly announce the launch of the Investigative Journalism Department at tuNEWS, a commitment to uncovering the truth and addressing the pressing issues that resonate not only in South Africa but across the globe.

In today's society, the dynamics of relationships are often profoundly influenced by the presence of money and power. The narrative is familiar—one partner ascends to wealth and prominence, while the other is left to navigate the complexities of this newfound status. This dynamic raises critical questions about how we treat our partners during times of prosperity and the long-term implications of those actions.

Dear Government of South Africa,

In a world rife with challenges, many are blinded by the hype perpetuated by those who benefit from the myths surrounding man-made disasters. Issues such as global warming, civil wars, pandemics like HIV/AIDS and COVID-19, and natural disasters like floods are often presented as unavoidable calamities. However, this narrative serves as a convenient distraction from the stark reality: the failure of those in positions of power and authority to address the root causes of these

The world stands at a critical juncture, where the glaring inequalities and injustices faced by Africa and her people can no longer be ignored. The current global system, heavily influenced by powerful nations such as the United States, United Kingdom, China, and others, has perpetuated a cycle of exploitation that undermines the dignity and potential of African nations. It is imperative that we engage in a serious discourse on reforming both political and economic structures

As we stand at the crossroads of change, it is impossible to ignore the moral decay that has infiltrated our society, particularly in South Africa and across the African continent. This erosion of ethical standards is not merely a regional issue but a global phenomenon, deeply rooted in the exploitation of power, materialism, and the troubling normalisation of immoral behaviour. Our collective conscience is at stake, and the implications for the next generation are dire.

In an age where the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the realm of sports has emerged as a powerful economic force. However, beneath the glitz and glamour of stadiums filled with cheering fans lies a troubling reality: sports often perpetuates an inequitable global economic system that keeps the impoverished poorer while enriching the wealthy. Particularly in Africa, this phenomenon is starkly evident, as the continent's talent is siphoned off to enrich foreign econo
