Hear our cry: Small business owners call on government to resolve load shedding
The article by Sema Fonkem, published on February 7, 2023, highlights the struggles of small business owners in South Africa due to the ongoing load shedding by Eskom. Since 2007, the poor maintenance of Eskom's coal plants has led to frequent power cuts, severely impacting businesses. Alan Nurse, owner of East Rand Vending, and Carmen De Sousa, who runs Bubble and Squeak Carwash, share their challenges and adaptations to the power outages. Nurse uses ice packs and a high-performance freezer to mitigate the effects on his ice cream sales, while De Sousa has adapted her carwash operations. The article also touches on the broader economic implications, including potential job losses and reduced GDP contribution from small businesses. Protests by the Economic Freedom Fighters party highlight the public's frustration with the government's handling of the situation. Nurse expresses skepticism about Eskom's ability to resolve the issue.
Poaching and Wildlife Conservation in Kenya 2014
The article discusses the severe impact of poaching on wildlife in Kenya, highlighting the illegal hunting and killing of animals such as elephants and rhinos for their tusks and horns, used in jewelry and traditional medicine, respectively. It outlines the lucrative nature of poaching, citing a 2013 report by the International Fund for Animal Welfare that estimated poaching revenue at 14 billion euros annually. The article also details the efforts by the Kenyan government and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to combat poaching, including aerial and ground patrols and community engagement.
