TOO MUCH FREEDOM

Regretful: Kiss and make-up please, for the countries sake.

Sarafina is a well-known South African musical that depicting students involved in the Soweto riots, in opposition to apartheid, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarafina!_(film) It was a musical that instilled hope and courage in many black South Africans hearts during apartheid era.

What they cried and fought for is taken for granted and seems to be forgotten. Today many people fail to understand and admire the struggle and hardship that took place in the past.

Here we are in a country where there so much anger and hatred towards one another. 18 years ago the country was in awe of the countries first black president, Nelson Mandela. yes the past is the past, but the past is the only thing that can help us go on with life. 

for the past few months the country has watched the ex ANC youth leader Juluis Malema criticise  the president of South Africa Jacob Zuma. 

Jacob Zuma has never been recorded saying anything about Julius or reacting to his ridiculous outburst.  The  country must be proud. we can no longer sit back and watch, freedom has been granted let us live in that moment

 

A GRANDMOTHERS WORST NIGHTMARE



NO MEANS NO FINISH AND KLAAR: Picture by bangsandabun.comy


bangsandabun.comy Rape is any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person; unfortunately that’s what this 83 year old grandmother had to go through, read more.

Three men allegedly broke into an elderly women’s home Friday evening, demanding money. When the frail grandmother told them that she did not have the money, she was brutally gang raped by three men aged between 22 and 37.

The men then left her in a devastating condition, but she managed to call the neighbours for help and was immediately rushed to the hospital. Fortunately the men have been arrested and will appear in court on Tuesday.

The fact that the ex ANC (African National Congress) youth leader, Julius Malema has no respect whatsoever for the president of South Africa, Jacob Zuma. He is seen as a role model, husband, father, the head and leader of his country but still little respect from the media and other leaders is given to him. 

The question is how are the young people of this generation suppose learn how to give out respect to elderly people when their own leaders have failed too.

This is a wakeup call to the country that needs to be answered immediately. How many more people still need to die from crime, how many more people still need to live in fear of getting raped, kidnapped and killed?

It is time for the country to hear and read about interesting, fun and fascinating stories. It is time for change.

SILENT TROOPERS



PEACE SIGN:  lets change the world

 When last did you bump into a deaf person, still seen as a taboo?. First reaction from most people is shame, concern and uncertainty. According to the 2001 South African census, approximately 20 percent of all disabled people in South Africa have a hearing loss (read more).

Earlier this weerk Police minister Nathi Mthethwa said that "instead of the police officers relying on external registered interpreters, he would like for them to be well-trained police interpreters and improved statement writing as well to ensure that most members of society are cated for" (read more).

‘’when victims report crimes, they must not be compromised through wrong interpretations and badly-written statements, as well as misunderstanding of their experiences’’ Mthethwa said.

This is absolutely a wonderful idea that should be implemented throughout the country whether it is government or private sectors. If this is achieved it could help increase convictions and diagnosis at hospitals etc.

Associations  such as SANDA (South African National Deaf Association) is dedicated to providng quality services, ensuring that public accessibly and increasing awareness of issues affecting deaf  people at all levels in South Africa (read more) .
