Angered pupils ‘burn down Durban school’ after getting ‘bad marks’

Posted on Leave a comment

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education has condemned the burning down of Zwelinjani Secondary School in Durban, after pupils allegedly became enraged over poor marks they had received.

“There are claims that the fire started after chaos erupted when school reports were issued to learners who felt that the results they had obtained were not what they deserved. The learners allegedly accused teachers of giving them bad marks,” department spokesperson Kwazi Mthethwa said on Thursday after the incident.

He said emergency services had been called out to Zwelinjani Secondary School in Zwelibomvu, in the Pinetown District, earlier in the day.

The ANC’s plans to combat crime in SA are failing

Posted on Leave a comment

Police Minister Bheki Cele said, in particular, from his spokesman that he was encouraged by the decrease in murder cases and the increase in arrests made after murders were reported.

The minister referred only to the violence in the Western Cape, and did not mention the rising murder cases in other parts of the country.

The attempt to combat crime and especially murders in the Western Cape under the so-called Operation Lockdown, in which Army soldiers were dragged in because the police were not responsive to their task, was a success for Cele, but the increase in crime in parts of Natal and the Central Transvaal, are not made public.

Parliament’s porch talks lead to country’s downfall – SA needs action now to stop crime and not empty promises and threats

Posted on Leave a comment

The parliamentarians’ babble in parliament is to get sick, especially if, after a serious series of incidents, they suddenly think something needs to be done.

This is the opinion of a political analyst following the series of rapes that took place on several campuses across South Africa.

He says every member of parliament wants to talk about the matter, utter a lot of threats, thinks it’s time to act against the crime, and everything stops.

He says the MPs think if they cleaned up the rape case and said enough about the issue under discussion, then the case was won, and no rape will ever happen again.

Over the past week, dozens of rapes have been reported on campuses that leave the women students terrified while none of the criminals have been arrested.

It is precisely this behavior and condition that is frightening, and the speech in parliament, without approving legislation and measures, is the downfall of the country

So this then is the picture the world sees of law and order in South Africa?

Posted on Leave a comment

The president wants to emphasize the importance of tourism to a country, already well known, as an unsafe destination. And the government institution responsible for the safety and security of citizens and visitors alike carries an image such as this….

What concerns Front National most is the fact that this is the image of what “South Africans” accept and allow. The world does not pay attention to the statements of objection by individuals on the social media. They say: You have a democratic process and we don’t see evidence that you oppose these things. You keep on voting for impotent parties who does nothing to oppose the direction your country takes.

To that, we have no strong response. And we hear this when we speak to the outside world.

Therefore the white South African has to understand: as long as you carry on supporting the current Parliamentary parties, the world will understand that you tolerate and accept the S
