High-powered lawyers are gearing up for a class action lawsuit that will pit a billion-dollar pharmaceutical company against a group of angry South African women. They say the multinational firm has knowingly manufactured and distributed defective mesh devices, inserted trans-vaginally to alleviate various conditions. The devices, it’s argued, disintegrate over time, causing debilitating pain. And they’re not alone... Women around the world are taking similar steps against the company, claiming it was aware of the defects and simply did nothing.

It was a controversial show of force by some of Cape Town’s most powerful taxi bosses: Children’s education held to ransom as they demanded a slice of the Western Cape’s multi-million-rand transport tenders. In February, thousands of pupils were left stranded as taxis blockaded Khayelitsha, preventing the ferrying of children to school by parents and other forms of scholar transport. Is this a symptom of a larger malaise taking over South Africa, where powerful interests use intimidation and the threat of violence to grab tenders awarded to others?
