As a young intellectual, Adam Small strongly advocated for the use of one’s voice. It was this medium which he used to denounce various human rights abuses under the Apartheid government. Small used various platforms such as newspaper columns, open letters, his poems, plays, essays and public speaking. Our next guest created a theatrical production that helps us explore the works of this poet and how his work still helps us to recognise our origins, how to recognise ourselves in others and how to explore our shared future. The production has won five Fiësta awards in 2021, including the Best Festival Production. It is currently running at the ArtsScape in Cape Town until Sunday

The installation includes a selection from the artist’s series of 101 handmade artist books, entitled “101 ways to long for a home” seeks to subvert the traditional notion of linear word-based storytelling.

Agri SA’s research and analysis has revealed that the Ukraine-Russia crisis will have a serious impact on South Africa’s food security. With global wheat prices, multiple fuel hikes and agricultural input costs skyrocketing, AgriSA has called on government to take urgent action and suspend the fuel levies to provide relief for farmers. The organization believes that this intervention would help small-scale farmers especially given the industry’s contribution to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), year-on-year. This move would also contain food prices for South African consumers
