By Andile Mngxitama These matric paper leaks seem to be a system used all the time for a privileged few. Apparently Provinces hand-pick “top achievers” and feed them everything. Problem is, technology has democratized the “leaks”. Now they are punishing everyone. It’s madness. Leave the children alone. I’m sure if they were serious they would …

The main questions concerning this issue were interrogated, namely: 1. Is it new? 2. Is it serfdom or is it freedom? 3. Is it free market …
President Cyril Ramaphosa President Ramaphosa continues with his haphazard and timid response to the Covid-19 pandemic. In his public address yesterday, Ramaphosa promised to deploy 10 000 field workers who would do door to door screening for symptoms of Covid-19. This is too little too late.
