TEACHER VS LEARNER SMACKDOWN

Learners empty void :
picture reference

A video has surfaced showing a male teacher assaulting a female pupil, that was recorded by one of the classmates at Hoerskool Patriot Mpumalanga,watch video.

The assault took place last week where it shows the teacher walking towards the learner and starts kicking and smacking her. The pupil started defending herself but failed  to as the teacher overpowered her. Almost close to the end of the video, it shows the teacher grabbing the pupils hair and fellow classmates had to separate them.  

Corporate punishment has been banned in South Africa for over a decade now, and the same disciplinary tactics are still used in South Africans schools, read more.

Teachers are taught the difference between punishing and disciplining a child and clearly what this "so called teacher" did was  absolutely disgusting and stone cold cruelty. Parents drop off their kids at school expecting  the teachers to give them guidance, help them gain knowledge and provide them with discipline where its  necessary but not to beat their children up.

 Yes, learners could be disrespectful but their other alternatives that teachers should consider, such as: 

1. reporting the matter to the headmaster 
2. send the learner out and speak to them privately after class
3. grant the pupil detention
4. request to speak to the learners parents by calling them for a meeting

More and more videos must be taken in class as well as children must report these incidents  in order for the South African teachers to get a wake up call; that corporate punishment is not allowed.

FATEFUL DAY IN MARIKANA

violence among humanity: Picture by view picture   

More than 34 people died as South African police opened fire on Thursday 16 August against hundreds of striking miners armed with sticks, machets and spears at Lonmin's Marikana platinum mines.

The protesters died demanding better working hours conditions, such as: 

1. compensation for risk when they work underground
2. a salary increase of up to R12 500

It has been reported that ten people, including two policemen and two mine security officers have died in nearly a week of fighting between rival worker faction at the mine, read more.

It is extremely disappointing to see how certain issues in South Africa have been handled in the past and now present. there was a huge strike that took place earlier this year, throughout the whole country against the e-tolling system and no one had died, read more.

Lives needed to be shredded in order for the government to take control of this issue.how is one suppose to feel protected by their own government and police force when all they want is for the problem to end, but yet again, where the police officers expected to stand there while hundreds of angry came marching down towards them with weapons?

what we all can take from this is that violence is never the answer to sort out differences. let us move from this with a positive and different outlook on life and that every decision that we make has own benefits, responsibilities and consequences.

WOMENS DAY MY FOOT

Marching on: read more

Being South African women has its own ups and downs. More than 20 000 women marched to the union buildings to deliver a petition to the Prime minister of that JG Strijom about the impositions (find another word) of pass laws in South Africa. read more

Well this march took place more than 50 years ago, and has anything changed yet? Today’s generation fail to learn and understand the significant struggle and shame that women in South Africa had to go through to insure that women had equal rights and opportunities as men.

But instead they strive to get the latest trends, designer labels, becoming socialites and sex symbols. Forgetting where their mothers, grandmothers and ancestors come from and fought for. 

Annual campaigns and awareness’s spread throughout the country such as breast cancer, women and children abuse, women’s day, mother’s day and so forth, should remind the society of the important role that women play in the lives of others.

Young girls forget about being a miss party, a taxi queen or even a gold digger. There is something special that you carry with you that no other men may undermine, but it’s the fact that you are the mother of the nation; you determine how the future would be look like.

So ask yourselves, is this where I am supposed to be? 

Happy women’s year to all the beautiful women of South Africa.

Boeremag delusional thinkers



 Court proceedings during the Boeremag trial (SABC)

20 Boeremag suspects are facing chargers or treason, murder and sabotage.  These chargers mostly arise from violently trying to over throw the South African leading government, the African National Congress (ANC).

The Boeremag plans included :

·         Blowing up the government, South African reserve bank headquarters, South African Broadcasting Casting (SABC) buildings and the Johannesburg stock exchange.

·         Kill Casper De Vries because he is  apperently on the wrong path.

·         All game farms with black names will be taken back.

·         Taking over the military bases.

Could all of this been made possible?.  Disgustingly disappointed and in awe South Africans wait eagerly for the trail to end. South Africa is meant to be celebrating 18 years of freedom but instead the country is still facing racism as one of its major problems.

These 20 suspects could not have been the only people with the same mind set. Somewhere else in the country, the same ‘’ Boeremag’’ mentality is being practiced either from whites, blacks, colourds, indains and so forth.

The issue of racism is said to be worked on by the government, but if certain groups of cultures and races feel unfairly treated by the ANC leading to such delusional ideas that could be so harmful and dangerous towards the society and the economy.

The government’s approach should change drastically.  We all have the right to feel safe and protected by our government regardless of the colour of our skin.
