From physical to online spaces in the age of the #FeesMustFall protests: A critical Interpretative synthesis of writing centres in emergency situations
Nanima, Robert Doya; Klasste, Jacque
Writing centres play a vital role in guiding students in their academic writing. Central to this
role is their physical location at tertiary institutions, where students usually walk in and
schedule appointments with writing tutors. The recent #FeesMustFall protests saw the
temporary closure of universities across South Africa. As a result, the functionality of the
writing centres as physical locations was disrupted to the detriment of student development.
This article evaluates the application of the principles that underscore the operation of physical
writing centres as online spaces. First, it evaluates the writing centre as a physical space, and
the resulting shift to an online space as a result of the #FeesMustFall protests. Secondly, with
the methodological aids of Critical Interpretative Synthesis and my personal reflections as a
tutor, I analyse the possible application of the principles that guide physical writing centres to
the online environment.

A right to a fair trial in Uganda’s Judicature (Visual Audio Link) Rules: Embracing the challenges in the era of Covid-19
Nanima, Robert Doya
The application of the Uganda Judicature (Visual-Audio Link) Rules does
not contextualise the complete protection of an accused’s right to a fair trial
during emergencies. A contextualisation of the right to a fair trial in inter national law and under Uganda's domestic law is done. An evaluation of the
application of the Visual-Audio Rules in the context of its objectives and
circumstances follows. The contribution proposes an accused-centred
approach in the application of the Visual-Audio Rules. A conclusion and
recommendations follow.

Perspectives on local government’s place in federal systems and central–local relations
Powell, D M
To expand on the themes identified by Tomas Hachard’s paper Capacity, voice and opportunity: advancing municipal engagement in Canadian federal relations, the Journal commissioned six personal ‘perspectives’ from a diverse group of other Commonwealth countries – Australia, India, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa and the United Kingdom (UK). This replicated the model adopted in Issue 26 for Zack Taylor’s paper on Regionalism from above: intergovernmental relations in Canadian metropolitan governance. Similarly, the purpose was to establish a broader picture of issues and trends across the Commonwealth, rather than ‘review’ Hachard’s work.
