UPDATE: High Court Judge Thomas Masuku has sentenced veteran lawyer Dirk Conradie to a fine of N$200 000.00 or an alternative sentence of five years’ imprisonment. His co-accused, Sarah Damases, was fined N$60 000.00 or alternatively to serve two years’ imprisonment. The two were charged with one count of corruptly soliciting gratification as a reward for using influence in procuring a contract and a count of attempting or conspiring to contravene sections of the Anti-Corruption Act. Conradie alone was also charged with corruptly using his former position as chairperson of telecommunications company MTC’s board of directors to obtain gratification for himself or another person. The state alleged that in June 2012, Conradie offered to use his influence as chairperson of MTC’s board of directors to have an advertising contract worth about N$60 million awarded to the advertising company DV8 Saatchi & Saatchi (DV8), if the company’s directors agreed to take Damases on board as a black economic empowerment (BEE) partner.

Four newly identified chameleons reveal the hidden diversity of Mozambique’s isolated mountain forests. High above the savanna of northern Mozambique, isolated rainforest patches conceal animals found nowhere else. Surveys of these granite mountains have now identified four previously unknown species of Sylvan Chameleons, each confined to a separate “sky island.” Prof. Krystal A. Tolley and Dr. Werner Conradie described the species in Vertebrate Zoology. Their names recognize animal behavior researcher and conservationist Jane Goodall, chemist Rosalind Franklin, and the idea of “vanishing”, linking scientific achievement with a warning about the loss of these forests. The mountains rise abruptly from the dry landscape, capturing clouds and rainfall that sustain cool, damp forests near their summits. Because the forests are separated by expanses of savanna, species on one peak may remain isolated from those on another and evolve independently. Prof. Tolley says this isolation has left many sky island organisms with ranges found nowhere else on Earth. Much of northern Mozambique’s mountainous terrain remained poorly studied until the 2000s, even by the standards of remote African landscapes. The researchers wanted to learn whether each forest contained distinct reptile and amphibian species shaped by long periods of separation. Their work carried added urgency...
