Single parents are everywhere in SA, yet community prejudice persists

Single parents face extra hardships and often make multiple sacrifices to ensure the wellbeing of their children, yet they face ongoing discrimination, prejudice and not always a lot of gratitude. 'Being raised by a single parent, you get to learn that when you love someone you have to make sacrifices to be there for them.'

East London - Health authorities in the Eastern Cape province have ruled out stampede and high alcohol intake (binge drinking) as the cause of the 21 deaths at Enyobeni Tavern in East London, Eastern Cape on June 26. However, the probe on what exactly caused the deaths of 21 pupils from local schools who were celebrating the end of the term in the tavern at Scenery Park township, is not yet over. Giving the update to the media on Tuesday from East London, Dr Litha Matiwane, the deputy director for clinical services from the Eastern Cape Department of Health, said more digging has to be done even though some possibilities have already been ruled out.

Born in 1935 in Western Native Township (now Westbury), Johannesburg, Union of South Africa, Mattera grew up in Sophiatown,[1] at that time a vibrant centre of South African culture. His diverse heritage was derived from his Italian grandfather, Xhosa grandmother and Tswana mother. In his autobiography Memory Is the Weapon he writes: "Sophiatown also had its beauty; picturesque and intimate like most ghettoes.... Mansions and quaint cottages ... stood side by side with rusty wood-and-iron shacks, locked in a fraternal embrace of filth and felony.... The rich and the poor, the exploiters and the exploited, all knitted together in a colourful fabric that ignored race or class structures." This "multiracial fabric" did not conform to the separatist policies of apartheid and so the suburb was destroyed and the people forcibly removed.

As we grabble to either accept that South Africa is a country that allows "legitimacy" to be the reflection of facts is and allowing it to be the reflection of what legitimacy should look like

However will legitimacy come with the consequences of censorship within the number of high profile cases that are of public interest and these are the kind of questions we need to ask ourselves as the public as this may become a public norm to try and scrutinize matters that has not proceeded yet in jurisdiction of the court whilst there is public scrutiny playing out at the same time with different views and opinions that may outweigh one another when it comes to fact checking and understanding how the logic flow of legal practitioners find flaws and truths to cases that spark public outcry and how should these matters be processed.

Aphrodisiacs can be classified by their mode of action into three types: Those that increase libido, potency, or sexual pleasure. Various substances of animal and plant origin have been used in folk medicines of different cultures to energize, vitalize and improve sexual function, and physical performance in men, out of these very few have been identified pharmacologically. For increasing libido, ambrein, a major constituent of Ambra grisea, is used in Arab countries. It contains a tricyclic triterpene alcohol which increases the concentration of several anterior pituitary hormones and serum testosterone.
