  • Social conversations: 'The president has case to answer', opposition parties seek motion of no confidence in President Ramaphosa

    Several opposition political parties in Parliament believe President Cyril Ramaphosa has a "case to answer", and a motion of no confidence is the best route to hold him accountable for the Phala Phala farm scandal. The political parties - which include the EFF, UDM, Cope, PAC and the ACDP - said they could not wait for Parliament's Section 89 committee to be established.

  • Closet Conversations – How to Handle a Partner Who Is a “Mama’s Boy”

    Guest on line: Mathawe Matsapola -Seasoned Journalist & Editor/Entrepreneur/Certified Life Coach and COMENSA member/ Speaker/.

    Being married to a mama's boy isn't always a bad thing. A man who is close to his mother is not a mama's boy in a negative way. In fact, research has shown that boys and men who have strong relationships with their mothers are mentally healthier, more empathetic, and have better relationships with women.

     

    A man who seems to be unhealthily attached to his mother, however, might be more of a problem. This is particularly if he can't seem to function without her.

     

    Boundary problems, dependence, and enmeshment can be harmful to a relationship or marriage. It is important to be able to distinguish between normal and unhealthy attachments and learn how to establish healthy boundaries.

The various levers must be deployed for a sustainable solution that goes beyond the superficial. The community mobilization program is concerned with bringing heads together for sustainable solutions at community level. Objective: The objective of the community mobilization program is the mobilization of all stakeholders in a community towards finding and implementing solutions that address chronically high levels of crime.

  • Social conversations: Addressing the Social ills in our society

    We, the bishops of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference, are deeply concerned about the current high levels of unemployment and the rising cost of living, and how they disproportionately impact the lives of those at the margins of the economy. Both the high levels of unemployment and the cost of living are pushing more people into higher levels of household debt and deep poverty. We call on the government, business and those with influence and power to take note and action the issues we raise below.

    -The need to regularly review the adverse impact of structural reforms on the poor

    -The persistent gap between the rich and the poor

    -The Eskom Crisis, as well as Transnet’s failing rail infrastructure

    -Parties need to work together in fixing failed municipalities
