Airbnb revealed its top 5 Airbnb homes in the country as on South Africansâ wish list, with the most popular choice a penthouse in Vredehoek in Cape Town.
Velma Corcoran, Airbnb regional lead for Middle East Africa, said it was great to see many homes from across the country featured as the most wish-listed in South Africa for 2021.
âWhile some are in big cities, listings in smaller towns also shine, highlighting how travel on Airbnb not only generates additional income for local hosts but also spreads the benefits of tourism into lesser-visited areas,â she said.

Violence prevention is a public health priority in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Harnessing naturally occurring social influence processes may extend the reach of traditional parenting skills training programmes that are designed to prevent violence. This paper presents a social norms intervention implemented in a deprived community in South Africa to prevent harsh parenting attitudes and behaviours that negatively impact children s development. The researchers use social network analysis (SNA) to explore how the benefits from the intervention components diffuse through the community.

Julianknxx traces an expansive and ongoing conversation between the many voices, past and present, that make up the cultural patchwork of his life.
In her beautiful and devastating 2016 book
In The Wake: On Blackness and Being, scholar Christina Sharpe delivers a stark rallying cry: “We must think about Black flesh, Black optics, and ways of producing enfleshed work.” Drawing inspiration and strength from Sharpe’s words, interdisciplinary poet Julianknxx brings together sound, image and performance in a discursive, enfleshed poetic practice. His work is deeply connected both to the foundational stories and languages of his birth place of Freetown, Sierra Leone, and to the sounds and voices of his current home in London. It is the passage between these places, and their twin histories of conflict and colonialism, that the poet seeks to document, penning what he calls a “history from below.”
“To discover beauty through the lens of a Black light.”
“If you call yourself a poet, that comes with a spiritual weight. You can’t just take it so lightly. You’re bringing in a whole timeline, a whole world with you. You’re speaking things into existence… Trying to find language to name my experience and what that looks like led me to poetry,” reflects Julianknxx.
For Julianknxx, poetry encompasses a multi-faceted and ambitious artistic practice, one that moves seamlessly between sound, image, film, and performance. He interprets his role as a poet as inherently exploratory; poetry offers him a channel to tap into the wellspring of the past, present, and future.
