Chronic diseases often begin in early life and can persist into adulthood, creating a continuous market for pharmaceutical companies. Here are expanded examples from each continent, illustrating how these companies profit from managing chronic diseases.

Interracial relationships, encompassing marriages and partnerships between individuals of different racial backgrounds, symbolize love and understanding. They serve as bridges between cultures, fostering empathy and mutual respect. However, these relationships exist within broader social contexts marked by a history of racial injustices and systemic inequalities. A thorough examination of this topic requires sensitivity, an understanding of its complexities, and a recognition

In the late 19th century, European powers convened in Berlin for a monumental event that would forever alter the course of African history—the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885. This gathering marked the formalization of the Scramble for Africa, where European leaders divided the continent into colonies without considering the existing ethnic, cultural, or political landscapes. The decisions made during this conference have had profound and far-reaching implications that continu

Dear Readers,

Let’s cut through the kale-smoothie-fueled chaos, shall we? Health myths are spreading faster than a TikTok dance challenge, and it’s time to drop some truth bombs. From Instagram influencers to that friend who swears apple cider vinegar cures everything, we’re debunking the wellness lies with science and zero apologies.

In 1994, South Africa stood on the brink of a new era, transitioning from the oppressive grip of apartheid to what was heralded as a democratic dawn. This watershed moment was meant to usher in equality, prosperity, and justice for all. Yet, over three decades later, the promise of true democracy remains unfulfilled. For many, the democratic era is but a myth—a carefully crafted illusion designed to pacify the disenfranchised.

As the world scrutinizes Generation Z, often labeling them as entitled, lazy, and uncontrollable, it is imperative to examine the deeper roots of this generation's characteristics. While the criticisms directed at Gen Z are abundant, the conversation seldom includes a critical analysis of the roles played by their parents, grandparents, and communities in shaping the values, behaviors, and attitudes of this generation. This article aims to shed light on the contributions of p

In the annals of South African history, few events have been as controversial and consequential as the infamous arms deal of the late 1990s. What was initially heralded as a strategic move to modernize the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has instead become a lingering shadow over the nation—a scandal steeped in allegations of corruption, mismanagement, and betrayal of public trust. Yet, despite the mountain of evidence pointing toward wrongdoing, the questions re

Let’s get one thing straight: your screen isn’t saving you. While the world obsesses over TikTok challenges, AI side hustles, and “self-care” apps that charge $5 a month to remind you to breathe, a quiet revolution is brewing. People are ditching doom scrolling for doing, reviving old-school skills like woodworking, knitting, sourdough baking, and even blacksmithing. This isn’t nostalgia; it’s a middle finger to burnout culture.

Since you took office, you have undeniably made headlines with both commendable achievements and controversial decisions. Today, I write to you as a concerned observer, representing the voices of many who feel compelled to address your recent executive orders against South Africa. While some may accuse you of bias, I choose to speak directly about the implications and motivations behind your actions.

Let’s cut through the kale-smoothie-fueled chaos, shall we? Health myths are spreading faster than a TikTok dance challenge, and it’s time to drop some truth bombs.

Let’s cut to the chase. You’ve seen it happen: the clock strikes 10 PM, your phone lights up with a video call, and suddenly, poof! The woman on the other end is “asleep,” “busy,” or mysteriously “just seeing this now” hours later. But here’s the raw truth she won’t spell out: her face has been restored to factory settings. The makeup’s gone. The wig’s off. The lashes are tucked away. And she’s not handing out free access passes to her barefaced reality.

The struggle for justice and sovereignty in Africa is deeply intertwined with the educational systems that shape the minds of its citizens. Currently, these educational frameworks, heavily influenced by foreign ideologies, often serve to indoctrinate rather than empower. This indoctrination perpetuates a cycle where African legal systems are manipulated to uphold foreign interests, leaving the continent and its people vulnerable to exploitation. To break this cycle, comprehen

Dear Me and You,

Vladimir Putin's ascent to power is a remarkable narrative that traces the evolution of modern Russia and its re-emergence as a global superpower. Born on October 7, 1952, in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Putin’s early life was marked by the pervasive influence of the Soviet Union. He grew up in a working-class family and exhibited a keen interest in martial arts and sports, which would later contribute to his public persona as a strong leader. After obtaining a law degree

Today, I write to you with a plea for empathy and understanding for the modern woman, a figure who is often misunderstood, judged, and unfairly criticized. To truly appreciate who she is, we must take a step back and consider the myriad factors that have shaped her life, from her upbringing to her experiences in society.

In the ever-complex realm of international relations, the influence of individuals with deep-seated ties to colonial and apartheid histories cannot be overlooked. A disturbing narrative is unfolding in the United States, centering around a group of men with South African roots—Elon Musk, Pieter Botha, and Paul Pollack—who have emerged as close allies of former President Donald Trump. Their positions and backgrounds raise serious questions about the motivations behind U.S. pol

The military presence of foreign nations in Africa has become a contentious issue, raising serious questions about sovereignty, peace, and stability across the continent. While proponents argue that such presences are meant to assist in combating terrorism, stabilizing regions, or providing humanitarian aid, the reality often paints a different picture. More often than not, foreign military forces exploit their positions for strategic, economic, and political gains, leading t

In recent years, the assertion that South Africa boasts the "best constitution in the world" has been echoed by various commentators, politicians, and legal scholars. However, this claim deserves rigorous scrutiny. Who originated this phrase, and what evidence supports it? As we examine the realities faced by many South Africans, it becomes increasingly clear that this assertion may be more myth than truth.

In an era increasingly characterized by disillusionment, we find ourselves grappling with a harsh reality: good has become bad, and bad has, in many instances, been celebrated as good. This unsettling inversion permeates every facet of our lives, where institutions designed to uphold justice, health, morality, knowledge, and economic stability have faltered, leading humanity down a treacherous path. As the Head of tuNEWS Editorial, I feel compelled to shine a light on these t
