If you're puzzled about daily life, it seems outer space shares your sentiment. NASA found a question mark-shaped figure in a James Webb Space Telescope picture. JSWT scoffed at the mysterious object as a mere out-of-focus faraway galaxy. However, it fueled imaginations online, sparking numerous funny jokes and memes. Many people refer to the vast expanse of space as the 'final frontier.' The universe expands infinitely, inspiring countless movies and stories about what could be out there. Fortunately, NASA helps the world peek into that pitch-black curtain.

Debswana and Infotrac came face to face at the Court of Appeal as the former tried to redeem its ‘reputational embarrassment' after suffering a P110 million loss in a spying lawsuit against the latter. Infotrac did not have it with the diamond company playing the reputation card in court arguing that Debswana long lost its reputation when it installed spy cameras in employees' toilets and vehicles. Strongly opposing Debswana's appeal for the lawsuit to be overturned, lawyer Kgosietsile Ngakaagae representing Infotrac came gun blazing on the mining giant's reputation intensely disputing its claims that it was a reputable company that thrived on good reputation and good governance.

Wellington had dawned bright and brilliant as I made my way to Queen's Wharf to catch an East by West ferry to Matiu/Somes Island. Diamonds of light sparked off the waves as we zipped over to the island in the gentle southerly breeze. This nuggety, forest-fringed island sits in the middle of Wellington Harbour like a time-honoured landmark, endowed with a rich history. Like a perky cub scout, I was eager to explore its story. Matiu is the Māori name of the island, and as the story goes, the great explorer Kupe bestowed this island with the name of his daughter.

The party has lost most of the by-elections to its parent organisation, the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC). Despite the party's underwhelming performance in the low tier polls, its leadership says the results of the general election show that its fan base is still intact despite having been absent on the ballot paper for nine years. The latest UDC win at the weekend by-election in Mapoka-Nlaphakhwane was somehow expected based on the dynamics on the ground. The UDC has dominated all the by-elections since the 2019 General Election.
