What Freedom Day means to me

Mongezi C Makhalima 3 comments | 209 views

I’m still surprised at people who pooh-pooh Freedom Day. I understand the cynicism and some disillusionment at where we are now, but who said the struggle is over?

We can’t trust the ANC not to undermine our democracy

3 comments | 1925 views

Cyril Ramaphosa writes in your newspaper (Alarmist headlines bode ill for logical and rational debate, March 11 2012) that it is untrue to suggest that the ANC would “reverse the country’s democratic gains, erode constitutional freedoms, and undermine the independence of the judiciary”.

Mandy Rossouw’s article “Women’s ministry a mouthful – now chew” and the editorial “Shut down the women’s ministry” (City Press, February 26) are a case in point. The articles display an inadequate understanding of the mandate of the department.

We have noted with regret the recent article headlined “Churches tackle Zuma’s ANC” in City Press (April 8 2012). The article seeks to portray the ANC under the leadership of President Jacob Zuma as dismissive and neglectful of South African church leaders and their congregations.

Funani ka Ntontela, Deputy National Spokesperson of Azapo 4 comments | 419 views

In his article, “Time for Pan-Africanist parties to call it a day” (City Press, April 1 2012), Thabo Shole-Mashao is pained by the fact that parties like Azapo are not occupying centre stage in the country’s political life.

Lest we forget other heroes

The majority of South Africans will unanimously agree that the ANC played a crucial role during the liberation struggle, surpassing other liberation movements. However, it wouldn’t have attained this freedom without the help of other movements and individuals who also played a pivotal part.

I am a South African working in Hong Kong, but still constantly travel back to South Africa. I want to comment on the issue of name changes happening in South Africa, which are still being debated 18 years after a democratically-elected government came into power.
