Remembering an advocate of children The past few weeks have been a difficult time for us as The Warehouse community. On the 26th of May, after being diagnosed with end-stage liver cancer just a month before, our dear sister, friend, and colleague of over eight years – Ntombi Tshingilane – passed away. Our hearts are...

While the local church is well-positioned and capacitated to provide protection and advocacy for the well-being of children within their spaces and communities, this is not a given.

At times looking...

Protesting Borders
Over the past months I have been part of a reading group. One of the books that we have made our way through is ‘Scales of Justice’ written by Nancy Fraser. The book highlights the reality that although we are living in a society where issues are largely transnational (rarely confined to a particular country...
