"President Cyril Ramaphosa has the people of the Republic falling love with him for his early morning walks. Who knew a light brisk walk could get so much interest? His morning walks has had the country talking and taking a keen interest to join him. On Friday the president took to twitter to announce that he will be walking again, this time in Soweto.  “Good afternoon, I am encouraged by the positive response from many South Africans joining my morning walks and even starting their own walks in their communities. I invite those who can, to join me in Soweto tomorrow morning ahead of my voter registration drive this weekend.” he announced on Twitter." To be honest, I think Cyril will bring a huge difference within this little time he has. He does everything differently and puts the needs of the citizens first.   https://m.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/president-ramaphosa-does-it-again-20180309

"North West Hawks spokesperson Captain Tlangelani Rikhotso confirmed to eNCA that the raid is related to charges of fraud and corruption, but he could not divulge which case the raid was related to. Mahumapelo's head of communications, Brian Setswambung, later indicated that the  Hawks raid was related to a three-year contract for IT services that the Premier's office has with Nepo Data Dynamics." Corruption in South Africa is a serious issue and I'm happy that the hawks are actually doing something about  it. Maybe if we get clean leaders S.A.would become a corruption free country. https://www.enca.com/south-africa/hawks-raid-north-west-premiers-offices

They stood up for what they believed was theirs and they never backed down. Jacob Zuma, the former President of the country, made their wishes come true when he announced that there will be free education for everyone. The students celebrated and they were very joyful. This year though, most students couldn't register because some tertiary institutions wanted a registration fee. The question now is, what happened to free education?

"Cape Town - National Treasury has announced the increase in social grants up to 193 billion this financial year, in what Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba called a bid to cover for the tax increases he proposed in his budget speech." Shortly after South Africa became a democratic country Mr N. Mandela who was the President then made a lot of changes. He wanted to change South Africa for the better and tried to help poor citizens by making social grant. Over the years this looked helpful because many black citizens benefited from this money. Some of them don't even know that this money comes from the citizens who are in the working class, which means that they are being robbed off their hard earned income. The more the social grant increases, is the more those who are in the working class are being exploited. The question we should be asking ourselves is, aren't the rights of the people who wake up in the morning to try to provide for their families by going to wo...

Fashion is the only language which most young people know, not just in South Africa but globally. New fashion trends come up every day and we as young people try as hard as we can to follow them but then the reality is fashion changes every time. We try so hard to “keep up with the time” that we forget about our morals, ethics and culture as black people. During the 20th century fashion was simple, men wore pants and women wore dresses or skirts because that’s how things are/were. Then fashion designers decided to add some “spice” and they made pants that were meant for women which was seen as a disgrace. Women stood up for themselves and brought up fancy words like “feminism” and they won the battle making most women to wear pants instead of trousers. Nowadays (21st century) fashion has changed to an extent that men now actually wear skirts and dresses which I think is an insult to our morals but then again women started this whole thing when they demanded equality in te...
