Deadwood is a critical structural and functional component of forest ecosystems, influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and nutrient cycling. This study examined spatial heterogeneity in deadwood structure across multiple forest blocks, focusing on snag type distribution, diameter variability, species composition, and associated wildlife observations. Significant variation among sites suggests that deadwood dynamics are strongly shaped by local disturbance regimes, stand age, species composition, and anthropogenic influences. Blocks dominated by stumps likely reflect advanced decomposition stages or historical structural collapse, whereas sites with higher proportions of full snags indicate recent mortality events or greater structural persistence. The presence of extremely large snags highlights the ecological importance of legacy trees, which contribute disproportionately to carbon storage and long-term structural stability. However, weak correlations between maximum girth and wildlife use suggest that decay stage and cavity development are stronger determinants of ecological function than size alone. Higher species diversity in snag formation was associated with increased structural complexity, potentially enhancing ecosystem resilience by supporting diverse decomposer communities and extending temporal continuity of deadwood availability. This study surveys 187 snags across five forest blocks to analyze species composition, structural decay stages, and evidence of wildlife use. Statistical analysis reveals that while Anogeissus pendula is the most frequent snag-forming species, larger diameter snags like Terminalia bellirica and Mitragyna parviflora show higher instances of specialized wildlife use, such as nesting and cavity formation.

Clean water is essential for health, yet in many rural areas of Malawi, people judge water quality based on appearance or taste rather than actual contamination levels. This study investigates the mismatch between how rural residents perceive the safety of their water sources and what laboratory results reveal about water quality. Using a mixed methods design, we combined household surveys from 39 respondents in Dedza District with laboratory analysis of eight water sources (boreholes, shallow wells, rivers, and taps). Although 92% of households believed their water was safe, microbial testing revealed widespread contamination with total coliform counts up to 286 CFU/100 mL and fecal coliforms detected in 75% of samples. Chemical parameters such as pH and total dissolved solids were within acceptable limits, showing that contaminants were mainly biological and invisible to the eye. The findings demonstrate a strong perception–reality gap: residents trust clear, “natural” water but underestimate microbial risks. Awareness campaigns and community level testing are necessary to align perceptions with scientific reality and encourage safe household water practices.

The Labour Amendment Act 11 of 2023 in Zimbabwe, which repealed and redefined s 56 of the Labour Act [Chapter 28:01], has raised significant concerns regarding the ongoing existence and effective functioning of the National Employment Councils (NECs). These bodies are central to Zimbabwe's industrial relations system, playing a crucial role in facilitating collective bargaining and resolving disputes. This paper offers a critical analysis of the legal and institutional framework governing NECs, focusing on how the recent legislative changes have substantially altered their legal status and operational capacity, thereby creating considerable uncertainties within the legal environment. The landmark case of DGL Investments (Pvt) Ltd v Martin Ndlovu & 14 Others exemplifies judicial interpretation of these legislative changes, effectively ruling that voluntary NECs have 'ceased to exist' following the enactment of the amendment, which casts doubt on their continued legitimacy and practical relevance. The fallout from this ruling includes disruptions to dispute resolution processes and the weakening of tripartite governance structures, raising broader concerns about the stability of industrial relations. Different stakeholders' perspectives vary; employers worry about reduced bargaining leverage, workers and unions face challenges in maintaining collective voice, designated agents of NECs encounter operational uncertainties, and government labour officials struggle with enforcement and oversight issues. Overall, these developments threaten to destabilise Zimbabwe's tripartite framework, potentially undermining core principles of collective bargaining and industrial harmony. The paper concludes with specific recommendations for legal and policy reforms aimed at clarifying the legal status of NECs, restoring their operational capacity, and strengthening Zimbabwe's commitment to a robust tripartite labour relations system, in line with constitutional provisions and international labour standards.

Young Adolescent students in Grades 7 and 8 require Relatedness, Competency and Autonomy to thrive. This study explored two Grade 7 and 8 schools for one year, collecting student voice to determine what makes a difference for connectedness, skill development and autonomy. In a time where social media creates an increasing pandemic of loneliness amongst our teens, small micro-interactions allow students to feel connected to their schools. Low-stakes opportunities to fail or succeed increase their competency and small opportunities for agency within the classroom builds trust and engagement. In this small study (n=524) students were asked “what was the best part of their week” and clear patterns emerged. The importance of non-evaluative adults, low-stakes environment and allowing students to have agency increased connectedness and wellbeing. This article uncovers the low-cost interventions that will strengthen trust and connection. Although social media is here to stay, through thoughtful steps, schools can build strong connections that will lead to strong students in our Middle School environments.
