WILL ANC EVER FULFILL IT'S PROMISES TO THE NATION?

Article by: Anastacia Mashaba

The African National Congress has been promising improvement and development to the citizens since it gained power, but still a lot needs to be done. Issues of unemployment and poverty amongst others are very difficult to solve, and everytime the election time comes there are lots of empty promises. This political party is corrupt and is slowly annihilating the nation. Our leaders are not leading by example, they do what will benefit them and their families. Here it's all about money people's needs are not put first, which is wrong.

The ANC is continually corrupting the nation, it relates to a series of bribes paid to companies involved in the ongoing R55 billion Arms Deal sagaArms, which resulted in a long term jail sentence to former Deputy President Jacob Zuma's legal adviser Schabir Shaik. Other recent corruption issues include the sexual misconduct and criminal charges of  Beaufort West municipal manager Truman Prince and the Oilgate scandal, in which millions of Rand in funds from a state-owned company were allegedly funneled into ANC coffers.

Our leaders only care about money and luxurious lives, this includes minister of International Relaions Maite Nkoana-Mashabane who spent R235000 of  taxpayers’ on a private jet after refusing to have her  handbag searched at Oslo airport  this month. Nkoana-Mashabane’s refusal to  put her handbag through an airport  X-ray scanner in Oslo, Norway, resulted in her missing a commercial  flight to Bulgaria where she was  due to attend a meeting. As a result  she ended up hiring a private jet at  a cost of R235343.“Yet again, ordinary South  Africans have had to foot the bill  for the vanity and excesses of those  who are meant to be public servants,” said DA national  spokeswoman Lindiwe Mazibuko.
The list is endless when coming ANC corruption, our leaders should fight for the nation not for their pockets because this impacts the nation more than them.

THE CAPRACIOUSNESS OF THE DAILY DISPATCH

BY: ANASTACIA MASHABA

The publication of the photograph on the Daily Dispatch was wrong. To make matters even worse was publishing the story on front page, it is wrong to publish this gruesome material for the public as there many sensitive viewers. As a publication, Daily Dispatch was suppose to seek views on this subject in advance of this publication because it is a critical reportage and affects many sensetive viewers.

This picture is misleading the public and according to our South African Press Code pictures and posters must be published in such a way that they do not mislead the public and shall reflect reasonable contents of the report. This was a wrong thing to do nevermind the fact that the story is of importance to some people in many different soceities. This kind of exposition shows the brutality of some fellow South Africans and it ruins our rainbow colour, there have been many publications of this nature by other newspapers but not necessarily putting the story on front page.

If they published the story wanting to inform the nation, they could have done it without putting it on the front page, This was just to sell the paper. If publications continue to publish this kind of material then our rainbow nation will suffer the consequences.

COLD WEATHER TO CONTINUE

Cold weather to stay until weekend

News From: Daily News Newspaper

The weather in the province was expected to clear up today with only cloudy to partly cloudy conditions.

Durban weather forecaster, Stacy Colborne, said rain was expected along the north coast. She said no more snow was expected. However SA Weather Services forecaster, Jan Vermeulen, said that KZN should brace itself for a few more chilly days, with the cold weather only lifting at the weekend.

Yesterday morning, hundreds of motorists travelling between Durban and Gauteng were affected by road closures at Van Reenen’s Pass, caused by heavy rains and snowfall. Graders were used to clear the roads between the Tugela Plaza and Van Reenen. Spokeswoman for the Road Traffic Inspectorate, Zinhle Mngomezulu, said clearing the road had taken most of the morning, but that by 1pm yesterday, the roads were open. “Traffic is moving,” she said.

The expected maximum temperatures today were 20ºC and 15ºC in Durban and other parts of the province, but western areas at higher altitudes like Newcastle, Van Reenen’s Pass and Ladysmith were expected to be 10ºC by this afternoon. Mngomezulu said emergency workers freed 10 trucks, and 15 cars that were stuck in the snow at Van Reenen’s Pass early yesterday morning.

Emergency services, police, military and car towing services helped to move all light motor vehicles.

N3 Toll Concession’s spokeswoman, Andy Visser, said more than 50 trucks headed towards Durban were stuck at the top of the pass and had to be escorted down.

Netcare911 paramedic spokes-man, Chris Botha, said that they had been inundated with calls to attend to accidents that had been caused by the poor weather.

“Drivers lost control of their vehicles on the slippery roads,” he said. In one such accident, 46 farm workers were injured when the vehicle they were travelling in overturned on the Kambridge Road just outside Rosetta in the morning. “Paramedics assessed the workers and found that they had all suffered minor injuries and were treated for minor cuts and bruises. Local farmers started helping by bringing blankets to help keep them warm,” Banks said. All the workers were taken to a hospital in Pietermaritzburg.
