The View Point

Almost 20 000 people have joined the Friends of the IRR to stop the abuse and turn South Africa around under the #StopCitizenAbuse campaign. According to the IRR, families are paying more than half of their income to the state and these taxes are crippling South African businesses and families even as much of what is paid gets stolen through corruption.

When taking a peek at reality in our education sector, it’s visible that internet connectivity has become the blood flow of education and even safe to say that it is almost impossible to learn fully without internet connectivity. The modern world has fostered a situation whereby there is a high need of relying on the internet. For the ones that don’t have internet connections, their progress remains sluggish and well behind the rest of the world.

The management of disability in post-school education remains fragmented and separate to that of existing transformation and diversity programmes at the institutional level.

It took nearly a year for the right wing to overcome the huge physical and psychological defeat inflicted on them by the March 1992 referendum, and a period of relative inactivity lasted for just under a year after the polling.

However, a dramatic event which took place on Easter Saturday 1993 was to jolt the entire right wing back into activity and once again placed them at the top of the political agenda. This event was the assassination of Chris Hani, South African Communist Party secretary general and former commander of the ANC's armed wing, outside his Boksburg home on 10 April 1993.

Hani, who was without any doubt the most popular Black politician in South Africa after ANC president Nelson Mandela himself, was gunned down in the driveway of his home in Hakea crescent, Dawn Park, Boksburg, at 10.20am.
