Protecting wings across continents: SASSCAL champions wetland conservation on World Migratory Bird Day

Our Staff

As the world marks World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday under the theme: “Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities,” environmentalists and scientists are sounding the alarm about the growing threats to migratory birds — and the ecosystems they rely on.

Migratory birds, nature’s long-distance travelers, journey across countries and continents, depending on a chain of healthy habitats to rest, feed, and breed. But as urban areas expand and the effects of climate change intensify, many of these crucial stopover sites—especially wetlands—are vanishing or degrading at an alarming rate.

Papa Chris, a blast from the past – By Dr Ted Msipa

Today marks the ninth year since his departure to glory, yet the memory of Papa Chris still lingers like morning dew in the garden of my heart. His voice, laced with wisdom and humor, echoes gently in my mind—especially when I sit under trees, just as he loved to do.

It feels like just yesterday that Papa Chris sat beneath the old Muhacha Tree, sharing stories that stitched together the past and the present with golden threads of meaning. My father’s storytelling wasn’t just entertainment—it was legacy, it was guidance, it was pure, distilled wisdom from a well that never ran dry.

The role of financiers in upholding dignity: A call for accountability in the LHWP

Silence Charumbira, Moretlo ‘Moleli, Adv. Mosa Letsie, Adv. Lerato Rabatho

The Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP), one of Africa’s most ambitious infrastructure initiatives, has long been hailed as a beacon of regional cooperation and economic development. By harnessing the water resources of the Lesotho highlands to supply South Africa and generate hydroelectric power for Lesotho, the project promises to transform lives and economies. However, behind the gleaming reservoirs and towering dams lies a story of displacement, broken promises, and unaddressed grievances for the host communities and villagers who have borne the brunt of this development.

The day I met my turning point – By Dr Ted Msipa (PhD)

I looked up with a resigned expression, my spirit weighed down like an anchor in a storm. My thoughts clashed like thunderclouds in my mind. I was seated across the one man no one dared cross—the stern, unflinching Chairman of Hearings at the bank that had once been the platform of my rising star.

But now? Now it was the scene of what I believed to be my professional funeral.

It was a moment that didn’t just shake my world—it rewrote my story. That is the day I met my turning point.
