The document discusses progress towards establishing a common market in capital, services, and goods across East African Community (EAC) partner states. It finds that while the EAC Common Market Protocol commits to liberalizing these areas, laws and regulations of partner states still present barriers that impede regional integration and investment. Restrictions on capital movements, services, and goods inhibit market entry and access. Some partner states have introduced new restrictive measures despite their obligations under the Protocol. Exemptions among states also risk undermining achievement of a true common market. Overall, implementation of commitments has been slow, and further reforms are needed to eliminate barriers and restrictions.

This dissertation examines discourses around Julius Malema's controversial singing of the song "Shoot the Boer" from 2010 to 2011. Using critical discourse analysis of online comments and 3 court rulings, the study analyzes how issues of race and identity are constructed in relation to Malema and different interpretations of the song's meaning over time. Key findings include minority groups seeing themselves as "victims" of Malema, and a pervasive fear of "black power" linked to Malema being a symbol of this. The dissertation argues the song's meanings are multiple and shift based on context, supporting the importance of "text trajectories" in establishing meaning over time.
