See this film! It's beautiful. It's like nothing I've ever seen before; absolutely stunning.

*THIS* is African storytelling, 🥹. Fearless and true. The ending was *breathtaking*. @FieryCJ is who he thinks he is!

It's now on Amazon (Apple, too, I think): https://t.co/1Frqmvoql1

@LesothoJohn @visitlesotho It would also make a fantastic digital project. Signposting at the physical sites with QR codes. Virtual tours. So many possibilities.

@OumarKBa What class is this for? And would you be willing to share the syllabus?

🌈LGBTI ALERT! Today, the Supreme Court of Mauritius issued a decision finding that Section 250(1) of the Criminal Code, which criminalised sodomy, is unconstitutional. Well done to the brave activists who filled the cases! A landmark victory for Mauritius and for Africa 🏳️‍🌈🇲🇺
