Involve The Kids From The Beginning You don’t have to let kids make a crucial decision, like choosing a family-friendly destination. What you can do is give them the name of the destination and let them research interesting stops and activities along the way. Show the kids a map of where you’re going or pictures of the hotel rooms and pool. This trick makes children enthusiastic, meaning they’ll be more willing to make the trip successful.

Issued on: 28/05/2024 – 20:11 What if, this time, the ANC does not win? Since 1994, South Africa has known plenty of ups and downs. But no matter the criticism or defections, the party of Nelson Mandela could always bank, come election time, on a winning machine that has always secured an outright majority. What if it’s not the case in Wednesday’s vote? And why would that be? We ask about a sluggish economy, huge inequality, corruption and whether this time incumbent fatigue will finally catch up with the African National Congress. How will those born after the fall of apartheid…
Artists were putting the final touches to their works. Visitors had bought tickets long in advance. Everyone was counting on a big splash for the 15th edition of the event rapidly becoming Africa’s most prominent cultural gathering — the biennale in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, which had been set to start on May 16.So when the West African country’s new government postponed Dak’Art at the last minute, saying it wanted to wait to hold it in optimum conditions, the African art world initially responded with dismay. The delay until November would mean less traffic through exhibitions and fewer sales,…

In a country where the youth make up the majority of the population, a bleak outlook is keeping many of them away from the polls. Also, we meet the former Senegalese rifleman who will carry the Olympic torch at the Paris Games.

For many of South Africa’s 62 million people, the ANC has failed to deliver on promises to revive education, water and housing – with inequality on the rise, power cuts frequent and the highest global rate of unemployment a top issue for citizens. There’s also the fact that problems are far more acute for the Black majority population than the white minority.…

But these measures are now being contested by the opposition, who claim they perpetuate racial discrimination and do not promote good governance. So how…
