# Ezra Chadza

Ezra Jofiya Chadza (1923–1985) or E.J. Chadza, as he signed his books, was a well-known Malawian teacher, author and poet, writing especially in the Chichewa language of Malawi.
Ezra Chadza was born in the village of Ntande in Dedza District in Malawi in 1923. He attended school in the same village, and then in 1937 went on to the Mlanda mission school (situated at Lizulu between Dedza and Ntcheu). In 1939, he began to teach. He studied for a teaching certificate at Nkhoma from 1943 to 1945, obtaining the Grade 2, or the "English grade" as it was known at that time. Afterwards he taught at Mlanda, before becoming headmaster of Livukezi School in Ntcheu in 1948.
From 1949 to 1954, he taught in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). He studied teaching again at Domasi Teacher Training College until 1959. After that, he taught at the Kongwe Presbyterian mission school in Dowa District. It was here that he wrote Ntchito za Pakamwa and Zokoma ziri m'Tsogolo. In 1968, he continued his studies at the University of Cape Town. In 1970 with others he started a school to teach Chichewa to missionaries in Kongwe. He also ran the Nkhoma Synod school and in 1972 became secretary of the Chichewa Board, a board set up by President Hastings Kamuzu Banda to encourage and develop the Chichewa language. Chadza died in 1985.
In the preface to his best-known book, Kokha Mcheperawakalulu, Chadza explains that he originally submitted the book, together with four others, to the Publications and Literature Bureau for approval in 1966. Unfortunately the manuscript of all the books was lost when the Bureau was closed. He therefore had to write the book again. The only book that survived was Tiphunzire Chichewa, which he happened to have with him for revision. In the same introduction, Chadza complains about the fact that very few books have been written in Chichewa, and expresses his belief that Malawians should write books in their own language, just as other nations do.
Chadza's best known poem is Likongolerenji Bokosi? ("What a Beauty the Coffin Is"), which was chosen for comment in the 2011 International Baccalaureate Chichewa exam.

## Works

* Ntchito za Pakamwa: Ndakatulo za m'Chinyanja ("Works of the Mouth: Chinyanja Poems")
       (Lusaka: Northern Rhodesia Publications Bureau, 1963)
* Zokoma ziri m'Tsogolo ("Pleasant Things are in the Future") (1963)
* Tiphunzire Chichewa ("Let's Learn Chichewa") (1966)
       This book, which is currently unavailable, explained the rules of Chichewa using the Chichewa language itself.
* Kokha Mcheperawakalulu (Popular Publications 1980)
       This is the story of a small but courageous boy, nicknamed Kokha Mcheperawakalulu, who has various adventures including rescuing the son of a chief from a crocodile. In the last few chapters, by joining a bandit group which has been terrorising the neighbourhood, Kokha manages to deliver the bandits to the police. The book is written mostly in prose, but with poems interspersed here and there.

# Burqa (film)

Burqa is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language film written and directed by Sarjun KM. It stars Kalaiyarasan and Mirnaa Menon in the lead roles. The movie was premiered at the New York Indian Film Festival and was nominated under Best Film, Best Actor and Best Actress categories.

## Plot

Burqa, is set against the backdrop of a Muslim ritual that revolves around 21-year-old recently widowed Najma (Mirnaa), who meets an injured stranger, Surya (Kalaiyarasan), under unlikely circumstances. Najma, who is a nurse by education, was married two months ago through arranged marriage. Her husband is a nice man who warms up to her and they start to like each other. They plan for their honeymoon to consummate their wedding, but the husband dies in a road accident. She is put in a mourning period for 3 months where she should not meet any other man. On a night in the second week of the mourning period, she is alone in her house when an injured man Surya knocks on her door. Grudgingly she tends to him and realizes that he is a goon for a Hindu fanatic party. She refuses to show her face to him, and Surya is forced to stay in for two days due to curfew outside. They have a long discussion about religion, gender and equality.

## Cast

* Kalaiyarasan as Surya
* Mirnaa Menon as Najma
* G. M. Kumar as Vaapa
* Suriyanarayanan as Anwar

## Reception

Chandhini R critic of Cinema Express wrote that "Burqa is a film that not just creates room for a discussion on progressiveness and liberation, but also reflects on the hard-hitting reality of how it is not easy to change or rather accept change" and gave 3 stars out of 5. Gopinath Rajendran critic of The Hindu said "The change in tones and the intensity of fieriness in the words exchanged between them, though not exactly coherent, break the monotony of Burqa which could’ve easily slid into the ‘this meeting could’ve been an e-mail’ category." Haricharan Pudipeddi critic of Hindustan Times stated that "Unlike most Tamil films, Burqa plays out like a conversational drama and it works beautifully in the film’s favour. Even though the film discusses issues like religion, faith and cultural practices among others, it never feels it’s trying hard to leave an impact". OTTplay critic noted that "Burqa is one of those films that reminds you that one doesn't have to be strong to brace through the loss of a loved one. You can be weak; feel powerless and still, move on with life. The process, in itself, will empower you. Amid mediocre big-budget films that choke theatres every Friday, I'm glad that I caught Burqa, which provided me with a sense of fulfilment" and gave 4 out 5 stars

## Release

Burqa joined Aha's library of films and premiered on their platform on 6 April 2023.

# Cadair Fawr

Cadair Fawr is a hill in the northern corner of the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park and Fforest Fawr Geopark. The 485m high summit at OS grid ref SN 978123 is marked by a trig point. Cadair Fawr is the highest point of a broad ridge known as Cefn Cadlan which forms the northern edge of Cwm Cadlan, a valley which itself runs east-northeastwards from the village of Penderyn. The name Cadair Fawr signifies the 'big chair' whilst Cefn Cadlan signifies the 'ridge of the battlefield'.

## Geology

The summit is formed from Carboniferous Limestone whilst much of the Cefn Cadlan ridge which slopes away to the west is formed from the Twrch Sandstone (formerly known as the Basal Grit), which also dates from the Carboniferous period. A series of minor faults runs northwest to southeast through the hill whilst a few including the Coed Hir Fault run northeast to southwest, paralleling the major fault forming a part of the Neath Disturbance which runs through Cwm Cadlan. Much of the hill's surface is pitted by shakeholes, the larger of which occur on the areas where gritstone forms the surface. Quarries have been opened up in both the limestone and the gritstone over the years though none are now active.
