WORKER'S UNION (COSATU) WORKING TO SERVE ITS MEMBERS AND THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE

E-tolling Project: Freeway N3
 http://www.bing.com/e-tolling+project+images

From the day that Congress of the South African Trade Unions (COSATU) protested against the E-tolling project which was meant to start working on Monday 1 May 2012 COSATU has shown its power and the role it is playing in serving our country as a whole. Almost every one in the country supports COSATU to help end the E-tolling project in Gauteng highways. The project which was meant to start working on Monday has not successfully started as COSATU disagreed with the formation of that project. However, the pending questions here are:

• How does the government going to regain the money that was spent in renewing and renovating Gauteng roads?
• Is the project going to an end after a certain period, or when they have recovered from their spent amount?
• Is the South African earning enough to pay for that project?

The government was aiming to use the E-tolling project in order to regain the money that was spent in the renovation of the Gauteng roads. The project will take forever even though they have recovered from their expenditure. The public is not earning enough  money to pay for the project. I think the monthly payments or earnings for the majority of South African cannot be able to pay for the project, hence to resolve this issue the monthly earnings must be increased so that they will not have any problem with the payment for that project. COSATU is playing a major role in order to help end the project before it begins to operate. I think our government should listen to the public and take into account the importance of the public opinion on this issue. The Congress of the South African Trade Union have a good reputation, image and perception to the public. They have achieved this by being honest and working hard for its members for many years.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO REGULATE THE PRINT MEDIA

The recommendations announced to the print media yesterday by the Press Freedom Commission  and they have to embrace them. The commission has recommended an Independent Regulatory System comprising members of the public and the media which will regulate the print media on how do they frame, disclose and cover stories free from the government interventions.

Mantashe said that the report had taken everybody out of their comfort zone. This will give power to the print media to cover stories of their choice while keeping in mind the importance of government's secrets that must remain enclosed.However, this is helpful for the media to successfully deal with the corrupt government's departments and officials. The government's officials will now be in the eye of the public for every corruption they conduct at anytime. It will also be fruitful in ensuring that all departments of government work for the public and work to fulfil the promises they made to the public simply because the corruption will go down and for any attempts in corrupting the government's finance you will be catched up and your repetition will be distorted to the public.

IS OUR POLICE DOING ENOUGH TO SERVE WOMAN AND CHILDREN AGAINST VIOLENCE?

I was really surprised by the Soweto incident on Wednesday whereby seven man raped a seventeen old year girl who is mentally disturbed. This has shocked me a lot and left my self with many questions as to:

• What our correctional service doing to serve our woman and child from the brutal man?
• Is our police doing enough to protect the woman and child?
• Does the suspects for various charges receive the charges they deserve?

It seems like our police is not doing enough to fight with crime and violence against woman and child .I think the correctional service should tighten the belts in order to be successfully combating crime and to protect woman and child from extreme violence. The suspects for the cases related to the woman and child violence must be given the charges they deserve accordingly.Something to be done to prevent such horrible incidents in future to our country . Our community elders need to teach children as to how are they expected to behave and to raise them with care.

 I believe that those boys who did that cruel are from the violated families where there are no peace as a result which prompted them to behave in such a way. Their parents are the one to be blamed for the bad behaviour of  their children. The businesses can play a major role by involving themselves in the CSI's programme through sponsoring the community soccer teams and youth centres whereby young people or youth at large will gather and be entertained. This will encourage them to stay away from their bad behaviour and behave themselves in a way that is expected of them as a young people to the community.

THE LATEST SUSPENSION FOR MALEMA CAN BE REGARDED AS A GREAT LESSON TO THE YOUTH

The suspension of the president of the ANC youth league can serve as an example to the youth at large. This a great lesson to the young people who are interested in politics even to those who are paving their career path or who choose politics as their future career. Youth or young people can learn from Malema as to how to behave themselves even though you they have given the power to voice anything they would like to put under attention to the public or to the Government.

This comes after when we saw the expelled president of the ANCYL being suspended from the leading party ANC consecutively after when he was suspended as a president of the ANC Youth League earlier this year. This is a great example to the youth to strongly know that respect is a centre point every where to any situation, whether you are the leader or not. they should know that the power remains with the government or the mother body not with the individual when it comes to the politics.

This is South Africa where the law is against every one without taking in to account your material status or position. You have to recognise where are you coming from, no matter how far are you with your career or success. You have to respect every one and read your mouth before you speak especially when you are speaking with elders. Because this can lead you astray or damages your career and your repetition to the world as a whole. The leading party is now experiencing the great challenge for a bad repetition which was mistakenly made by the expelled Julias Malema. Remember your perception is your responsibility.

JOB CREATION 2012

http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=worker

South African Government is aiming at creating more jobs by 2015.  This was confirmed by the minister of finance Pravin Gordhan when delivering his speech for the financial year 2012. Gordan has allocated an additional 10.2-billion to the state various job creation.

The job creation is the complex challenge which need to be taken into account and to be addressed effectively before its get worse. When you take a look to the students at universities they are studying their different courses hoping to get the professional job at the completion of their studies. However, our government need to allocate ones more budget in 2013 to fight the issue of unemployment especially to the youth.

Through job creation whereby they aimed at creating more jobs within three years, including those of the graduates who have completed their studies but not getting the job that they have qualified for will encourage students to work hard in their studies because knowing that they will get a professional job when they completed their degree or diplomas. The youth need more information on how to develop themselves through creating and starting their own small businesses where they can be able to help our government in achieve its mission for creating more jobs within three years. We can successfully create More jobs by working together, the government and the public or youth. the students are encouraged to choose their career wisely which are on the market and which they do love most in order for them to excell during their academic years and get the professional job at the end of the day.

Human rights day to be celebrated accross the country

The Human Rights Day was well celebrated in kliptown Walter Sisulu Square, although there were certain people of Sharpevill who were protesting for the event to be held in their area in Sharpevill. Claiming that the human rights day is not for the whole country but for the people of sharpvill where 69 people lost their lives  after the police shooting in 1960 during the apartheid era. This is completely wrong, this special day is for the whole country for every South African.

They were burnning tyres to demostrate their emotions about the event.  President Jacob Zuma said, that they had never made any promise to the sharpvill residents that the human rights day will only be held in sharpvill for ever. This happen after when the celebration event was decided to take place in Kliptown walter Sisulu Square rather than taking place in Sharpevill. The residents of Sharpevill protested against the change of the event.Because this is the special day for every South African, so it will be celebrated in different places across the country. people need to understand the importance of the human rights day.It should be held in different places accross the country in order to make the public well aware of what is the purpose of the that day.

SERIAL ESCAPEE MOYO TRIED HIS BEST AGAIN, BUT HE DID NOT MAKE IT.

 

http://nehandaradio.com/2012/03/15/serial-escapee-moyo



Ones again, the serial escapee Bongani Moyo tried his best to escape from Pretoria Central Prison. Moyo escaped a several times from the prison.

• In march 2011: he ascaped from Boksburg prison
• August 10: he walked out from the court in Pretoria magistrate.
• February 2012: escaped from Pretoria central prison.
• March 14 2012: Moyo escaped from Pretoria Central Prison with Sibanda and Dube.

The serial escapee Bongani moyo with the other escapees were brought before the Correctional Service Minister Mapisa nqakula during the press conference. Mapisa was asking Questions about their breakout and demanded moyo to answer them. Questioning him over how his mother would feel seeing his face in the newspapers and on television. The escape which has apparently led to the suspension of three warders, comes a month after guards raided the cells of the three in prison's maximum security. Moyo used a hacksaw blade and overpowered the guards to get out stabing one in the head.

The investigation was lauched to find out why the guard tower, which supposed to be occupied by armed warder was empty durind the inccident, why there were three guards looking after six prisoners and how the three got the saw blade. The ascape would not be possible without the interventions of the warders or any other staff. The suspeions will be enforced and jobs will be lost to any person or staff member who found involved to the escape, says Mapisa.

 Our country respect the human rights in a way that gives the prisoners a freedom and a chance to escape from the prison.The Correctional Service Commissoiner Tom Moyane denied thge allegations that the firearm was used by the warders during the inccident saying that the section they were held at, was escape-proof. The investigation will study the ascape carefully to see whether some of the guards, wardes or any staff members are involved to the escape.
