Abstract: Socio-political change in South Africa, also known as Azania,1 brought about the high hopes and opportunities, especially among the black African majority, in this instance, the recognition and revitalisation of their knowledge systems, in particular, in the learning sphere. The name, Azania becomes more relevant in this discussion, as it divulges the basis of indigenous African knowledge and related methodology systems, specifically on issues that encompass knowledge creation, categorisation and classification of events and circumstances. Nevertheless, the review of literature on the significance of aspects of African knowledge creation such as Tehuti perspective is revealed in this instance. This manuscript posits that diverse paradigms often influence the research approach in a particular milieu. It also suggests that the Tehuti perspective will facilitate the eradication of stereotyping imposed by the narrow cultural perspective in the social sphere including education, especially when it comes to research approach. It concludes by highlighting the need for consideration of diverse knowledge value systems, in particular, when dealing with narratives as indicative of a particular milieu rather than a prescriptive. Keywords: Tehuti, Africa, syllabus, aspects, fundamentals, order, knowledge. |

Abstract: The study describes child prostitution as the worst violation of fundamental Human Rights – a pervasive trend that has been synonymous to modern form of slavery. There is evidence that children usually get initiated into prostitution either by being abducted or lured by promises of certain existential needs of life. Despite the degree at which prostitution renders children and youths vulnerable to physical health crises and psychological harm, they still resuccumb to prostitution after having been rescued by organizations of concern. It was discovered that most of the children that participated in the questionnaire-based survey had been rescued from prostitution more than once in their respective lifetimes. The study established that children’s resuccumbing to prostitution is precipitated by factors such as money, drugs and alcohol addiction, as well as a sense of independence. The study recommends further research inquiries to be undertaken to better understand the intricacies associated with sexual exploitation of children and provide more effective and culturally sensitive measures to prevent affected children from these unscrupulous practices. Strengthening the effectiveness of counselling techniques in rehabilitating sexually exploited children is another way forward. Keywords: Child prostitution, Child victims, Failed rescue mission, Resuccumbing factors, Safe shelters, Sexual exploitation. |

Abstract: An evidence-based analysis of COVID-19 suggests that the ailment is a bio-medically inclined natural mystic blowing through the world. To this end, this study focuses solely on the role the pandemic plays as an outbreak of cybercrime vector. The study presents a number of the world’s most recent cyber insecurity cases that accompanied the onset of the pandemic and findings were discussed within the context of situational opportunity theory of crime. It provides a framework for emergency management approach to protect global citizens and institutions from cyberattacks, as well as, mitigating the outbreak of the crime being propagated by the presence of the novel virus. Global sensitization and awareness programmes across various communities on the potential dangers of cyber insecurity accompanying the COVID-19 pandemic should be helpful. Of most significance, the fight against the invisible warfare should continue with high spirits of relentlessness until absolute peace, relief, resilience and normalcy are able to take root in the global communities. Keywords: Bio cybersecurity, Coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19, Cybercrime, Cybercriminals, Cyber insecurity, Cybersecurity awareness, Emergency management, Situational opportunistic crime. |
