This ratio is actually skewed, partly because it averages out statistics in big countries (Egypt, South Africa) and the big cities (Johannesburg, Cairo, Cape Town, Lagos) with their poorer country cousins (Central African Republic, Mauritania).

But happily, within five weeks, this winter of classroom discontent, had begun to thaw into a tentative spring of journalistic and pedagogical innovation.

- Description: The Witwatersrand triad contains thick volcanic sequences confined largely to the Dominion Group at the base and the Ventersdorp Supergroup at the top. These volcanic sequences are of late-Archaean to early-Proterozoic age and are amongst the oldest supracrustal volcanic sequences erupted onto the Archaean Kaapvaal craton. The volcanic rocks have suffered low-grade greenschist facies metamorphism but primary textures and, in some samples, primary mineralogies are well preserved.

- Description: A bimodal suite of volcanic rocks builds the bulk of the Dominion Group which, with an age of ∼ 2.72 Ga, is the oldest cover sequence overlying the granite-greenstone Archaean basement of the Kaapvaal craton in the western Transvaal, South Africa. The basic lavas are relatively rich in SiO2 (50–58%) and aphyric and exhibit a large compositional range. This variation is typically tholeiitic in that it is characterized by strong enrichment of Ti, Fe, and V in differentiated lavas.

- Description: Density, population structure, growth, mortality and aspects of reproduction of the non-native amphipod Platorchestia platensis were studied for 20 consecutive months (October 2008 to May 2010) in the supralittoral wrack of the Knysna Estuary, South Africa. Amphipod density varied over the sampling period with the lowest numbers recorded in summer (January and February). Ovigerous females with embryos, and juveniles were found in most months with peaks in recruitment found in both April and October, suggesting that in Knysna this species is a biannual breeder. Average female size was significantly greater in winter, with larger females tending to brood more embryos. The largest adults (13.5 mm total length) were always male although the monthly sex ratio was nearly always female biased. Growth rate estimated from a cohort analysis was about 1 mm per month and monthly survival about 69%. The ability to reproduce all year round may be one reason why this introduced species has become established within this warm temperate estuary.
