Robots are used predominantly in industry. More and more companies are making their production lines automated by the usage of programmed robots. This trend of using robots started way back in 1960s and 1970s and gained popularity in the subsequent decades.

The origins of the Sphinx was derived from Egyptian, Persian and Greek Mythologies. A sphinx is a mythical beast with a body of a lion and a human head.

African leaders and presidents are seriously considering pulling out en masse from the being signatories to the Rome Statute that formed the International Criminal Court (ICC) based at The Hague, Netherlands. This follows their dissatisfaction with what they allege to be a bias on the part of the court against cases touching on Africans. A case in point is where the president of Kenya, Honourable Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and his deputy, William Samoei Ruto, both of whom face serious war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated in Kenya’s bloodiest post-election violence of 2007/2008, have been denied immunity by virtue ...

These principles were a set of six guidelines which served as a policy which the companies would follow to promote equal treatment between their black, colored, and white employees. In addition, statistics indicated that ...

These benefits at the time (1977) were unheard of in any company. Life in the Apartheid era for Africans was very much against the ...
