I spent a considerable amount of time in the past months reading up, no, browsing through past students' dissertations as a way of assisting myself with my current studies. At the beginning of every paper, there is a page set aside for dedications and acknowledgements; this is a common practice in most of the books... Continue Reading →
" Fellow South African...", a phrase our president Cyril Ramaphosa often says when he is about to relay an important message to the country.

A few days ago, I was reminded of a sign I once saw on my way from campus to my residence. I do not remember exactly what had me worked up that day; whether it was a failed test, a tough assignment or something in line with my academics. All I remember is that I... Continue Reading →
