The National Development Plan 2030 emphasizes that the use of digital communications has the ability to change society and is a powerful means of fostering social inclusion. But, in recent times - it is in this particular space that government seems to experience challenges. Some of these include questionable procurement of ICT services by government departments to long queues at government departments, like the Home Affairs - caused at most by failing and crashing computer systems.

TheTakeOffInterview| The Association of Black Securities and Investment Professionals (Absip) says they cannot rule out the possibility that racial motivation played a role in the Absa Group’s decision to part ways with outgoing CEO Daniel Mminele.
Mminele was the first black executive to lead the bank and will leave the group in less than 16 months.
The Black Management Forum says it will write to the Board of the Absa Group to establish the reasons behind its decision.
Mminele is the second black CEO to leave a South African bank following differences with the board - Basani Maluleke stepped down as African Bank CEO in January.
White directors continue to occupy the bulk of positions in senior management across the financial services sector, particularly in banking, and the trend in recent years indicated stagnation rather than progress.
 The 2020 Transformation Report – compiled by Intellidex on behalf of the Banking Association of South Africa – indicated there were “still some glaring gaps in the transformation landscape”.
Black senior management made up only 38 percent of roles in executive management.

First things first | Discipline in the classroom is globally considered a norm, ensuring the functionality of education in both public and private schools. The teacher is central to maintaining a classroom environment that enables learning and teaching.

The use of corporal punishment was abolished in South African schools in 1996 as it was regarded as violation of children’s rights. Educators generally felt disempowered in their ability to maintain discipline in schools in the absence of corporal punishment. After the banning of corporal punishment in schools under the South African Schools Act (84 of 1996), lack of discipline and safety in schools became one of the major challenges. Maintaining discipline in the classroom remains a challenge for teachers.

As a teacher how are you coping with maintaining discipline in the classroom, which methods are you using, are you winning? What your day to day challenges where discipline is concerned?

Discipline actually refers to the practice of teaching or training a person to obey rules or a code of behaviour in the short- and long-term.1 While punishment is meant to control children’s behaviour, discipline is meant to develop their behaviour.

What does the law say?

South Africa has a number of laws that protect learners from corporal punishment and abuse. Section 12(1) of the Constitution states that everyone has the right to freedom and security, including the rights: to be free from all forms of violence, not to be tortured, treated or punished in a cruel, inhuman or degrading way. Section 28(1)(d) protects every child from maltreatment, neglect, abuse or degradation. Section 10 states that everyone has inherent human dignity and the right to its protection.
Section 10(1) the South African Schools Act provides that no person may administer corporal punishment at a school against a learner. A person who contravenes this provision is
