There were various &lt;a href="https://www.gov.za/covid-19/about/about-alert-system"&gt;levels of restrictions&lt;/a&gt;, the most severe being in place in March and April 2020.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During this “hard lockdown”, many people in South Africa really struggled. Not only did they have financial difficulties but the lockdown took an emotional and mental toll. The common themes, no matter where people lived, were feelings of anxiety, frustration and isolation. And as lockdown went on, those feelings got worse. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In today’s episode of Pasha, Sarita Pillay, a PhD student  at the University of the Witwatersrand, and Miriam Maina, a research associate at the University of Manchester, take us through their &lt;a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03736245.2022.2087728"&gt;research&lt;/a&gt; on this lockdown toll.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The researchers got their information from multimedia diary entries made during the  “level 5” lockdown. Their informants were people living in a variety of dwelling types, households and urban neighbourhoods. The entries recorded participants’ daily experiences, concerns and feelings. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Much of the anxiety people felt came from the fact that it was an unknown virus. People didn’t know how it would affect them. They also worried about people breaking lockdown regulations. The economic impact of the lockdown was a concern; food security was a big issue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Feelings of isolation and frustration came from being alone. It didn’t help that people were separated from their daily routines.  &lt;/p&gt;

        People in South Africa felt anxious and stressed during the COVID-19 lockdown.
      

How the pandemic lockdown in South Africa affected mental health

It’s used to describe the technology revolution that the world is going through. But there is growing criticism, particularly in the global south, of how it’s framed. Many are questioning whether it should be considered a revolution at all. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Fourth Industrial Revolution, according to one view, is a very simplistic narrative that advances a distinct political agenda. It is a kind of exploitation that is being sold as progress. The narrative is being advanced to achieve a specific economic outcome – at the expense of many people in the global south.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many innovations are happening in the digital technological space. But do they reorganise production and social relations, or do they just entrench past forms of inequality?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Consider the case of the ride-hailing app Uber. It may sound like enticing work for drivers, but there’s more to it. Drivers may face bad working conditions, penalties and other challenges without the security of human resources behind them. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this episode of Pasha, Ruth Castel-Branco, manager of the Future of Work(ers) research project at the University of the Witwatersrand, joins Nanjala Nyabola, a storyteller and political analyst, in taking us through the seductive idea of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. &lt;/p&gt;

        Innovation in the digital space is not necessarily working for people in the global south.
      

What’s wrong with the Fourth Industrial Revolution

<description>
        &lt;figure&gt;&lt;img src="https://images.theconversation.com/files/477173/original/file-20220802-25-ky350u.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;amp;q=45&amp;amp;auto=format&amp;amp;w=1050&amp;amp;h=700&amp;amp;fit=crop" /&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&lt;span class="caption"&gt;GettyImages&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Young children and adolescents are becoming hyper connected. They are using digital technologies as a platform for learning, connection and socialisation  on a global scale. The COVID pandemic meant that kids were moving online for many of their daily activities and spending more time online. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In South Africa, children generally access the internet at home much more frequently than at school, and most commonly using a smartphone. Their main online activity is use of social media.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Connecting online has the potential to reduce inequalities and barriers to education and services. But there is also a risk of exposure to a range of threats. In one survey, about 50% of South African adolescents had been &lt;a href="http://www.ci.uct.ac.za/sites/default/files/image_tool/images/367/Child_Gauge/2022/digital%20worlds.pdf"&gt;exposed&lt;/a&gt; to sexual content and 34% also reported exposure to violent content and hate speech.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not all exposure is risky or damaging. But what can parents do to monitor  their children’s use of the internet and protect them from potential harm?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The answer lies in finding the right balance between empowerment and protection. The internet is here to stay. Parents should engage with their children on the digital world. The quality of offline relationships and communication is the key to protecting children online.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In today’s episode of Pasha, Rachana Desai, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of the Witwatersrand, offers some tips:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Download the apps that your child frequently uses and understand why your child enjoys them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ask your child to teach you how to use the technology they use. This is a great communication and interaction activity because children often like to  teach their parents and it’s quite empowering for them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Friend your child on social media platforms – with boundaries. Do it in such a way that they still have their own space to express themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Talk to your child about their experiences online. Ask them open ended questions like whether there was anything that bothered them online. You want to get to know what’s going on without over-supervising and then having your child completely isolate you from the online world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Tips for parents on keeping kids safe online

<description>
        &lt;figure&gt;&lt;img src="https://images.theconversation.com/files/473862/original/file-20220713-20-peajvi.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;amp;q=45&amp;amp;auto=format&amp;amp;w=1050&amp;amp;h=700&amp;amp;fit=crop" /&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&lt;span class="caption"&gt;shutterstock&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great white sharks have long been at the top of the food chain in parts of South Africa’s oceans. In their peak winter hunting months, around 100 great white sharks a day could be observed off the coast of the Western Cape province. But in 2017, great white shark carcasses began to wash up on beaches at Gansbaai, one of the main sites where the species usually gathered. Some were &lt;a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.2989/1814232X.2022.2066723#:%7E:text=Research%20Papers-,Fear%20at%20the%20top%3A%20killer%20whale%20predation%20drives%20white%20shark,South%20Africa's%20largest%20aggregation%20site&amp;amp;text=Risk%2Dinduced%20fear%20effects%20exerted,on%20ecosystem%20structure%20and%20function."&gt;missing their livers&lt;/a&gt;. And the numbers of great white sharks in Gansbaai &lt;a href="https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ecs2.2531"&gt;started to drop&lt;/a&gt;. In fact, they just vanished for up to a year at a time. What was the cause?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The culprits appear to be a pair of male killer whales, which researchers have named Port and Starboard, that arrived in the area. They have a signature way of tearing open their prey and they favour the nutrient-rich liver. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class="align-center zoomable"&gt;

            &lt;/figcaption&gt;
          &lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Though killer whales are known to hunt sharks far from shore elsewhere in the world, this was the first time the carcasses had washed up on a beach and become available for scientific study.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In today’s episode of Pasha, shark biologist and PhD candidate Alison Towner tells the unfolding story of the impact the killer whales are having on South Africa’s marine ecosystems. Great white sharks are fleeing to other parts of the coast and their absence affects other species like African penguins and Cape fur &lt;a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-39356-2"&gt;seals&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Killer whales are hunting great white sharks in South Africa’s waters

<description>
        &lt;figure&gt;&lt;img src="https://images.theconversation.com/files/465272/original/file-20220525-20-m0gxi3.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;amp;q=45&amp;amp;auto=format&amp;amp;w=1050&amp;amp;h=700&amp;amp;fit=crop" /&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&lt;span class="caption"&gt;GettyImages&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wildlife and people are coming into more and more conflict across Africa as human populations expand. Habitat loss and fragmentation of animal populations are causing declines in species.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Zambia, the Luangwa Valley and Kafue are two important wildlife areas. Both support populations of lion and leopard which are genetically linked to populations in neighbouring countries. They have great conservation value and  are crucial for Zambia’s tourism industry too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It was here that Paula White, director of the Zambia Lion Project at the University of California in the US, noticed something strange while &lt;a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcosc.2022.803381/full"&gt;researching&lt;/a&gt; the conservation of carnivores. Looking at the skulls of lions and leopards to estimate the animals’ ages, she saw unnatural wear marks on the teeth of these big cats. This was caused by biting and pulling on snare wire to get free. What is more, many of the lions had old shotgun pellets embedded in their skulls. They had survived these injuries – but how many more animals had not?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Behind the threat to the lions and leopards are complex social and economic issues. People move to where there are opportunities to make a living – from wildlife tourism and associated economic activity, for example. This can bring them into conflict with animals. Some people set snares because they need food, not necessarily to catch carnivores. And they may fire shotguns to drive off predators, not to kill them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is vital to understand the complexities of these relationships. People who live close to parks need to receive the benefits of wildlife, as our guest explains in today’s episode of Pasha.&lt;/p&gt;
