Is this a first, can it be true? No way, I must be dreaming.

Sounds really positive

"Some cite apartheid. I acknowledge that the legacy of apartheid continues to affect us, but it no longer serves to explain continued failures on our part.

How?

 

[baasvandieplaas]

Looks like their just might be a light at the end of the tunnel for SA...
I give this Education Minister Naledi Pandor a thumbs up for admitting this.

Now if she just can get Mbeki to pull his finger from you know where SA can be saved.

Wasn't she involved in the PUBLIC Gautrain project somehow trying to benefit financially from it?

 

[Fudzy]

I wonder what the demographics of suburbs would look like if there wasn't any apartheid era re-locations.

 

[Skeptik]

I don't even know why Pandor is commenting. She sends her children to the best schools. One goes to Bishops in Cape Town - a very posh private school. Her husband was involved in some illegal scheme as was she. Also the Big Bay scandal. She's become very rich from apartheid - very rich.
She was also part of the lottery stuff up because she had shares in the company awarded the tender.

Isn't she the minister of education?

So Pandor has now taken the Public Service wage negotiations into the public sphere, very sneeky, madam Minister, very sneeky indeed

Lekker being a teacher if you consider the hours worked.

Teachers at my sons school are complaining about the pay and their inability to control scholars which is understandable, but perhaps on the second point they were part of the discipline problem, when they slacked off in the first place?

My son tells me that the teachers at his school may strike on Friday. He thinks it is wonderful as he may get the day off.

The parents are not doing their jobs properly ... disscipline, work ethic and respect and good citizenship starts at the home and is not something to be outsourced to the govt.

I reckon that half the school kids these days are a bunch of lazy-partying-sex obsessed-Mixit-tik-booze-dagga using slackers.

It is the same all over the world from the US to the UK.
