Mkhwebane failed the public
The Public Protector (PP), Busisiwe Mkhwebane, failed the public and was more concerned about her own interests than protecting the public. The process to remove her from office was the first of its kind since 1994 where an attempt was made to get rid of the chairperson of a Chapter 9 Institution. Chapter 9 Institutions […]
Wanted: A place where Wolraad Woltemade and his horse are heroes in everyone’s eyes
Wolraad Woltemade is a universal hero. His heroic act of 250 years ago is much greater than the 14 sailors he rescued from the Table Bay waves. It knows no time, colour nor bounds. And that is why it is regrettable that this great hero has no honorary place where South Africans can pay homage […]
Coalition legislation must not be created for ANC’s benefit
Legislation aimed at providing a framework for addressing problems relating to coalitions must not become an instrument used to benefit the ANC and keep it in power. The mere fact that the ANC is discussing coalitions says a lot and is of historical importance seeing as this is the first time this is happening since […]
Those throwing stones at Israel must first familiarise themselves with what is really going on there (Debate in Parliament: Call for downgrading of the South African embassy in Israel until such time Israel “respects” the rights of Palestinians)
The people who are so quick to criticize and throw stones at Israel must first familiarise themselves with what is really going on there. A first-hand visit to the country would not hurt.

FF Plus’s tour de force continues in Drakenstein
The FF Plus's tour de force in recent by-elections, like the one in Drakenstein where the party mainly competed with the DA, has now become an irrefutable trend. At the same time, the DA can no longer brush off its poor performances, like last week in Bela-Bela (Warmbad) and yesterday in Ward 17, Drakenstein, as […]
Coalitions are part of the new political landscape
South Africa's political landscape is busy changing and coalitions are on the horizon. A new era has already been ushered in where the days of a total and absolute ANC majority are numbered. Coalition governments on local level are a reality. In this debate on coalitions, one ANC member referred to "collusions”. Conspiracies. The definition […]
Fish Hoek High School” DA cannot vindicate itself
What happened at Fish Hoek High School last week has no place in civilized society. Under no circumstances may children be bullied and traumatised behind closed doors in such a Nazi-like way. What is equally shocking is that the DA is now trying to wash its hands in innocence by pretending that it condemns the […]
