Post apartheid era
Kim Cupito,
who lives with her husband
in a derelict building left behind by De Beers,
lost her job during the pandemic.
"We need to survive, and this is God's ground.
It's for everybody," she says.

If It Were My Home
The headlines tell a lot
about the crisis in Yemen:
internal strife,
evacuations of international aid workers,
Saudi Arabian airstrikes.
But you may have one very basic question
that you can't easily find an answer for:
How big is Yemen,
anyway?
You can look at maps
and check out Wikipedia
but wouldn't it be great
to just to slap an outline of Yemen
on top of a map of the United States
to get a sense of its size?
IfItWereMyHome.com
lets you do just that.
