African stories in global conversations
Every year on 25 May, countries across the African continent and around the world mark Africa Day, with many extending the celebration into Africa Week.
With that in mind, it feels like the right time to pause and think about something powerful: the stories we tell about Africa, and who gets to tell them. Stories shape the way we see the world. They shape how we understand people, places, cultures, and possibilities. They influence how others see us, but also how we see ourselves. That’s why African stories matter so much, especially in global conversations.
Should South Africa lift social media restrictions for under-16s?
South Africa ranks among the countries with the highest daily internet use in the world, reflecting how deeply digital technology has become part of everyday life. However, this growing connectivity also raises concerns about the impact of excessive online activity on young people. As children spend more time on social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat, experts are warning about risks including cyberbullying, harmful content and declining mental wellbeing. With countries like Australia introducing a ban on social media for children under 16, the debate is now growing over whether South Africa should introduce similar measures or focus on stronger digital education and online safety protections.
