In identifying the psychological effects of political unrest, we first need to understand; what is political unrest and how does it present itself in South Africa? Political unrest is defined differently by a number of scholars; however, we learn that ultimately it encapsulates the instability of a nation through acts such as protest & violent behaviour of its citizens (Tarkhani, 2021).

 However, when we apply this to the South African context, we can see that political unrest has been prevalent throughout our nation’s history, and in recent years instances such as COVID-19, The attacks on farmers and even the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma, led South Africans to take to the streets in an outcry, let’s not even take it as far as this, political and civil unrest, in Cape Town, Western Province – Monday 21 November 2022 through a city-wide shutdown orchestrated by Santaco (the South African National Taxi Council) (Isaacs, 2022). This event occurred for a number of reasons and grievances, however the institutionalisation of the shutdown created panic, stress and inconvenience for the commuters of the city of Cape Town – enhancing the psychological tolling aspect of political unrest; these instances demonstrate in its purest form; political unrest amongst the South African citizenry.

Closet conversations: What are we teaching our children about money?

If we can start having real conversations about money with our children from a young age, we can take the stress out of financial planning for them before it is too late.

It’s a whole new world out there!

South Africa seems to have reached what can only be described as ludicrous levels. You know something is very wrong when parents can’t wait for their kids to go to university so that the monthly education bill can finally reduce. This has many parents facing an almost impossible task of trying to give their children everything they “need” to be a success one day.

Social conversations: Embracing neurodiversity: beyond disability

Disability Rights Awareness Month runs from 3 November to 3 December 2022 and is focussed on “empowering persons with disabilities through resourceful, sustainable and safe environments”, while recognising that not all disabilities are visible.

Invisible disabilities are physical, mental, or neurological conditions that are not easily perceived by others but can limit a person’s full participation in society. These could include neuro-developmental or neurodiverse disorders, which are described as variations in the human brain and cognition affecting areas of sociability, learning, attention, mood, and other mental functions. Examples of such disorders include autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, Tourette syndrome, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The concept of "neurodiversity" is based on "biodiversity". -Just as biodiversity is necessary and desirable to conserve ecosystems, neurodiversity advocates that society would benefit from recognising and developing the strengths associated with certain neurodevelopmental disorders. Applied in the workplace, employers are increasingly acknowledging that specialist thinking skills attributed to many neuro-developmental conditions are sought after for employers that require innovation, creative thinking, or meticulous pattern identification to advance specific aspects of their business. Global enterprises such as SAP, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Microsoft, Ford, and Ernst & Young actively recruit neurodiverse candidates as a talent acquisition strategy.

South Africa has a long history of violence. It was used as a tool of power and governance by colonialists to repress and control the indigenous people. The apartheid regime from 1948 used violence as part of its repertoire to gain and maintain social and political control.

Such a culture of violence is hard to stop, especially when it has become a legitimised and institutionalised form of coercion.

South Africans are living with this legacy.

Of course this is generalization statement, but let us hears from our guest:
