Scientific Value

Last year, while the Port Elizabeth Brick and Tile Company were quarrying a clayey rock at Despatch, near Uitenhage, a number of bones were discovered in the rock. Though the discovery created some little interest, no one seems to have appreciated the scientific value of the find, and large numbers of the bones were made into bricks. A few fragments of vertebræ and ribs have been collected by the Port Elizabeth Museum, and recently an attempt has been made to rescue some more of the bones that still remain in the rock. So far a number of very imperfect fragments of vertebræ—cervical, dorsal, and caudal—a fairly good femur, an imperfect scapula, portions of many ribs, and an ungual phalanx, have been discovered. The examination of these remain leaves no doubt that the skeleton is that of an Opisthoeælian Dinosaur of moderate size.

This article explores the mobile-mediated mothering experiences among migrant Somali mothers living in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with Somali mothers to examine how Imo, Viber, Skype and WhatsApp enable them to fulfil important maternal responsibilities toward their left-behind children in Somalia. The findings reveal that three types of maternal tensions occur due to their migration: guilt and concern, family strains, and judgement in Somali communities. Efforts to overcome these tensions include the adoption of mobile technologies to continue to mother from a distance. Migrant Somali mothers in this study mediate mothering using mobile platforms by: (a) transferring remittances to their children’s caretakers, (b) sustaining emotional bonds, (c) teaching religious beliefs, and (d) encouraging educational pursuits. By focusing on mothers as a distinct category of women, this study contributes to the theoretical call for more scholarship on matricentric feminism.

Municipal Election

Significance The party secured 54% of the vote compared to 62% in the last municipal election in 2011. The opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) saw a moderate increase overall but made substantial gains in key cities, notably Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB), which incorporates Port Elizabeth, the capital Tshwane (Pretoria) and Johannesburg. Impacts Relatively high voter turnout (58%) will provide incoming administrations with strong mandates to carry out their policy programmes. Violent incidents may occur in the coming weeks as local-level competition over municipal posts intensifies. Racial tensions exacerbated by the ANC and EFF's inflammatory rhetoric during campaigning will likely ease now that the poll has passed. The results may push the national ANC government to consolidate its core support by prioritising spending on rural development.
