  Parliamentary procedures pertaining to the impeachment probe of Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane are currently including former Public Protector Advocate Thuli Madonsela. Her appearance was a failure on the part of advocates Dali Mpofu and Busisiwe Mkhwebane. Mpofu has been the object of lawyer Thuli Madonsela's long-simmering animosity. Upon her arrival, the individuals who had summoned her did not fare well. Thuli Madonsela, a former public protector, that Ace Magashule, a former free state premier and secretary general of the African National Congress, was implicated in the Vrede dairy farm scam as early as the preliminary stages of her office's investigation. The news of Madonsela's resignation was announce. On Monday, former public protector Thuli Madonsela said that she and Ace Magashule, the former secretary general of the African National Party, drank tea. According to Herron, she told him that the encounter made her think that lawmakers involved in the R280 million sc

  More and more studies show that interrace dating is on the rise, with most couples marrying after dating for a while. To love, a person's chronological age is irrelevant, but to others, it is absolutely everything. These days, many look down on couples with a significant age gap. A proud Zambian husband posted photos of his stunning wife on Facebook. He says he had a job working for her, but they fell in love and started dating after some time. They have since tied the knot and are currently residing together as husband and wife. He may have married her for her steady income, according to some. I was her employee at the time, and we decided to tie the knot after some time together. Sometimes, the most unexpected places might be the ones where love finds you. We are overjoyed; just look at us. He spoke. Thankfully, they are content with the way their lives have unfolded. You should remain put in the place where you are loved and accepted. ##Nalishebo #VioletLubasi Says... He said,

  We can probably expect him to mention in his letter that an apology was already sent before it. One thing he left behind is the ANC's ubiquitous carelessness, which is noticeable all throughout. So far, all the available financial records indicate that this week's meeting between Thabo Mbeki and the ANC's top brass was fruitful, and that it was pleasant. It seems like there was no mental collision, despite how near they were. The decision to hold the summit was decided by the party following the former president's disparaging and disdainful comment about the party's stance on the Phala Phala scandal, which is involving head Cyril Ramaphosa. Cyril Ramaphosa is getting himself entangled in the controversy. Mbeki was displeased that Ramaphosa was absent. South Africa's interim president, Cyril Ramaphosa, did not offer Thabo Mbeki, the country's previous president, an apology or compensation for the fight that broke out between them on Tuesday night. According

  Dr. Tshimangadzo Muofhe's husband, Mainfred Mphikeleli Shikwambana, shot and killed her. She was 32 years old. Her death has saddened many in South Africa. Both individuals were highly-ranking Polokwane health officials when the incident occurred. Her spouse was a doctor at Donald Frazer Hospital in Thohoyandou, while Dr. Muofhe worked at Pietersburg Hospital. Her sudden death stunned the medical community because of her steadfast dedication to her work. Although they do not yet know what motivated the shooting, investigators have speculated that domestic violence was a factor. The shooting may have been influenced by marital issues, according to reports. The bodies of the couple were found by a relative, who promptly contacted the authorities. The husband allegedly shot and killed his wife before he shot and killed himself. Both bodies were discovered on the spot. The domestic violence epidemic in South Africa has been brought to light by the suspected murder-suicide. With one i

  In South Africa, Julius Malema is a divisive political figure. Being the president of the controversial EFF, he has a reputation for constantly stomping on people's toes. According to Malema's statement on the EFF website, Zimbabwe is only one of several African countries where people are better educated than us. He said that Zimbabweans have neither an accent nor a typical Zimbabwean one. After Malema made this statement, many were offended and unhappy with him. Many individuals were hurt by Malema's remarks, which led to many people opening their mouths. The claim by Malema that the literacy rate in Zimbabwe was higher than in South Africa in particular inflamed nationalist sentiment. Views and remarks made by citizens of South Africa. Malema needs to stop trying to sound like a Zimbabwean and move to the country if he wants to win us over. If Zimbabweans really are better educated than us, as this moron asserts, they ought to have been able to pull their nation out of

  An unsavoury story about a Black man from KwaZulu Natal who took his own life has gone viral on social media. Because of his passing, this terrible circumstance has arisen. His use of drugs and alcohol likely contributed to his downward spiral before he ended his own life. It was his stupid decision to get onto a moving vehicle that caused him to cry within seconds of the terrifying experience. He should have known better. He tripped and fell, landing uncomfortably on top of his head. It would seem that people are engrossed in declaring their love for each other to bother with penning letters of condolence. He drove in an extremely risky manner, clearly unconcerned with traffic laws. He utterly messed up, and it's sad because there are so many individuals in South Africa that are similar to him. Alcohol consumes him completely. Things did not work out the way he had hoped, so I can't help but laugh at him, even though I know we've lost a great guy. We have lost a great pe

  The government of South Africa is not attempting to have Vladimir Putin imprisoned, according to former president Kgalema Motlanthe. He was sceptical that Russian President Vladimir Putin would make a trip to South Africa in light of the ongoing issues. South Africans, according to ex-ANC president Thabo Mbeki, should not get themselves entangled in political disputes right now. As a signatory to the Rome Statute, South Africa, he claimed, would throw the Russian leader in prison if he showed up for the August BRICS conference. However, he is well aware that Putin will not depart. His remarks have gone viral online, and many have cautioned him to be careful with his words now that he is not president. They urged him to delegate such sensitive matters to the existing president, Cyril Ramaphosa. A Twitter user expressed concern that Kgalema Motlanthe's remarks could spark community conflict. While Cyril Ramaphosa is the president of the republic and his political party, she said th

  Following his dismissal as ANC Secretary General, Ace Magashule's political influence dwindled to nothing. The rumours that he was planning to start his own political party were unfounded; his intention was to return to the ANC. A voice note that has been circulating online seems to back up the reports that Magashule is planning to start a new political party, which has been the topic of much discussion. The future of the African National Congress (ANC) and South African politics is now uncertain due to this new development. Among the members of the ANC's Radical Economic Transformation faction, Magashule may find widespread support. There needs to be a shift in South Africa, and a new political party's arrival might signal that shift and open doors to new opportunities for the nation. How much of a challenge Magashule's new party poses to the ANC and how much momentum it achieves are both open questions. Leaving the ANC to create his own political party isn't lim

  Last Monday, Democratic Alliance president John Steenhuisen listed David Mabuza, a former vice president of South Africa and member of the African National Party, as an associate of the company implicated in the Eskom corruption scandal. Steenhuisen made this statement in response to the corruption allegations at Eskom. Steenhuisen has stated as much. Andre De Ruyter, the former CEO of Eskom, made this revelation in a stunning interview shortly before he stepped down. He expressed his suspicion that certain African politicians are linked with the Eskom-controlled funds in this interview. A member of the African National Party and former South African deputy prime minister, David Mabuza allegedly "buried money in JoJo's tank," according to John Steenhuisen, who was referring to the graft at Eskom. The head of the Democratic Alliance continues to make these claims despite the fact that David Mabuza—a current member of the African National Congress and a former vice presid

  It occurred as she walked home from school, absorbed in her thoughts. A gang of juveniles pursued her as she crossed the street. They charged over to where she was lying and began slapping, beating, and kicking without saying a word. The assailants inflicted severe injuries on Kgopotso, a girl hailing from Seshego in the Limpopo province of South Africa. The community has come together to support her since last week, when the tragedy occurred, in their pursuit of justice for the senseless act of violence. The Seshego Forum Leader, Vincent Kunutu, has verified that the girls who assaulted Kgopotso have been charged with assault. The culprits are anticipated to be apprehended shortly after the police assigned a case number. Leading the fight for justice, Kunutu has spoken out against bullying, intimidation, and assault and the need to punish those responsible. He has pledged to see that the victim receives justice and has made it plain that he will not stand for such conduct. "We

  Stages 5 and 6 loadshedding occurs often in many parts of the country since Eskom is obviously experiencing problems supplying power to South Africans. This is because balancing loads is what loadshedding is all about. Many South Africans are understandably unhappy about the recent reports that Eskom plans to begin daily stage 8 loadshedding in the coming days. Additionally, there have been rumours of Eskom frequently implementing stage 8 loadshedding, so it seems like things are becoming worse by the day. It is clear that Dudu Zuma, daughter of former South African president Jacob Zuma, and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, commissar of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), are unhappy with Eskom's execution of loadshedding stage 8. On their own Twitter accounts, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi and Dudu Zuma have both implied the need for a further closure of the nation's government. These two individuals have made it crystal clear that they are unhappy with Eskom's decision to introduce stage 8 loadsh

  Robberies, rapes, and kidnappings have all gone up in South Africa as the country has grown popular as a tourist destination. Because of an impending move, they are currently under a great deal of stress. The movement to have illegal workers leave South Africa is gaining momentum. Unless the illegal immigrants willingly depart South Africa, as the organisations have warned, they will most likely never feel at home there. The situation will deteriorate even further than it did in 2008 and 2014, according to one speaker at the demonstration, unless the South African government and illegal immigrants pay attention. Additionally, he pleaded with the government to end the situation by expelling a huge number of illegal immigrants or by establishing refugee camps in the Northern Cape. They won't be treated as leaving if they think staying is good. He emphasised the reasons why the duty should be taken up by the government alone. We will not randomly assault (illegal) individuals. Regar

ANC Limpopo has the upper hand in this debate. It is highly unlikely that Stan Mathabatha will face expulsion from the organisation due to his actions, even though he may have acted inappropriately by trying to influence delegates from his region to support Cyril Ramaphosa, the president of the landfill site, at the Nasrec seminar. The claim was made by ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula, who made the statement on Sunday to Limpopo media, expressing his sensitivity to calls for Mathabatha to be exempt from the consequences for violating the Nasrec alliance's merrymaking structures in December. According to Mbalula, he addressed the pleas for Mathabatha to disregard the violation of these structures when he spoke to the media in Limpopo. The remarks were delivered by Mbalula. Regardless, he thought the people could not be divided about who should lead. According to Mbalula, he acted inappropriately on his way to the conference, acting like a Bhubesi. He justified his behaviour by

  Rachel Kolisi, wife of South African Springboks captain Siya Kolisi, has played a significant role in her husband's rugby success. As one of the few interracial couples in South Africa, Rachel has been by her husband's side since his debut in 2013, providing a positive example. As the first Black captain of the South African national rugby team, Siya Kolisi created history in 2018. Because Rachel stood by her husband unwaveringly through this catastrophe, they are being cited as proof that love has no colour. As the years have passed, Rachel has continued to show her support for Siya and the squad by going to every game to root them on. Her devotion to him is undeniable, and she has been an outspoken supporter of his throughout their relationship. Without her unfaltering commitment and encouragement, Siya would not have become the exceptional rugby player that he is today. Rachel made headlines once again after announcing her husband's signing with French club Racing 92 o

  An Elsies River woman, now 38 years old, has spoken out courageously about the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, who is 73 years old. This happened after she found out her dad had attacked her niece, who was rather young at the time. The woman's first memory of abuse is from when she was eight years old. After her older sister, who was fourteen at the time, escaped from their violent father, he sexually assaulted his youngest daughter in a variety of ways, including orally and vaginally. The fact that her mother disbelieved her and took a side with her attacker only made matters worse. The woman's heart ached at the memory of her father's intimate act on the bedside table. Up until the age of thirteen, she endured unending maltreatment. Upon learning of the incident, her brother took her to the police station without delay so she could lodge a report. But when the woman's mother found out about their actions, she became very angry, and the girl bol

  I am twenty years old and have lost both of my parents at a young age. My maternal grandma purportedly took me in when I was just six months old. I was horribly sick whenever I was with my mother's relatives, even though they purportedly sought to adopt me. I would be truly grateful if my mum could see this letter I have sent to her. The only moment I felt safe was when my paternal grandmother came to collect me. They decided to start dropping by on a more regular basis after seeing how much better I was doing with her. I stopped going to school when I was sixteen years old, which was in the tenth grade. I started blacking out in class from horrifying thoughts of creatures attacking, so I couldn't pay attention. Then my grandma came to the conclusion that I would be better off without a traditional schooling. Unidentified men kept following my relatives around at midnight while they attempted to have me enrolled in school again. My clients are still afraid the mysterious peop

  The public of South Africa responded angrily when news of Zuma's Whatsapp chat broke. From Duduzile Zuma's My Dad Hates Visiting the Doctor. In an interview, Duduzile Zuma, daughter of former South African president Jacob Zuma, allegedly said that her father no longer pays medical visits. Surprisingly, she clarified why he shied away from hospital emergency departments. It appears that Zuma has made his decision based on his personal experiences or ideas, rather than obtaining medical help from a certified practitioner. No one knows why he has such a strong aversion to hospitals, but his feelings are reflective of the general public's distrust of the healthcare system. Those who avoid medical facilities while they are ill endanger their own health. If you want to be well and happy, it's important to see a doctor often and get treatment when you need it. Also, Zuma's move makes one wonder how useful it is to encourage public faith in healthcare institutions. Improv

  An ex-Democratic Alliance (DA) leader named Helen Zille tweeted earlier today that the DA had received a nationwide injunction. According to Helen Zille, the Democratic Alliance was able to get a nationwide injunction that forbade the Economic Freedom Fighters and their supporters from doing anything illegal during Monday's protests. She went on to say that the worldwide embargo will stop EFF supporters and members from disassembling any kind of explosive or flammable device. In contrast, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema mocked and belittled the former Democratic Alliance leader in return. Julius Malema ridiculed and abused Helen Zille on his official Twitter account, claiming that she was old and had wrinkled skin. Julius Malema referred to Helen Zille as an elderly woman and implied that her face was riddled with wrinkles in the post. The Red Flag will be flown at a great height on Monday, and the phrase Shem Mokgekolo wa mashosho will be heard. This is what

  It would appear that many Zimbabweans are escaping to South Africa due to the dire living circumstances there. For the moment, Zimbabwe cannot assist its South African citizens with their ZEPs. Recently, the deadline for submitting a permit application was pushed out from December to June 30 of this year. As of last December, hardly 10% of the approximately 180,000 Zimbabweans residing in South Africa on ZEPs have applied for the available mainstream visas. A successful return to South Africa for South Africans whose Zimbabwe Exemption Permits (ZEPs) have expired is contingent upon the Zimbabwean government providing counseling support. There has been nothing indication that ZEP holders would like to go back. Zimbabweans who are contemplating relocating back to their homeland will be able to utilize counseling services to help them manage the fears associated with returning to a challenging environment. A Bulawayo-based government-run counseling and psychiatric facility is offering i

  Two ladies in Esikhaleni were raped on the same night by a 21-year-old man named Vusumuzi Mashaba Thabethe. The judge handed out a 46-year prison term to him. Thabethe sexually assaulted a 21-year-old woman after she rejected his offer; he then brandished a knife and dragged her into the bushes. He then led her to a nearby stream and abandoned her after raping her again. In the span of a few hours the following day, Thabethe murdered a woman twelve years his senior, stabbed her in the neck, and made off with her phone. The women's nightmare persisted indefinitely. They went through emotional trauma as a result of the rape and then had to deal with the aftermath. The things that Thabethe did were vile and brutal. The anguish endured by a rape survivor is insurmountable. Not only is it physically harmful, but it also erodes the victim's sense of safety and value. In South Africa, people of all ages and genders are victims of sexual assault. One in four women will be a victim of

  The problem of racism has persisted for a long time. The persistence of racism in modern society based on race is deeply troubling. Everyone, regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity, is susceptible to racial discrimination. It's not an issue that specific demographics encounter; rather, it impacts individuals of all faiths and ethnicities. From overt acts of aggression to more subtle manifestations of intolerance, racism takes numerous forms. Both verbal and physical forms of harassment, or hybrids of the two, are acceptable. Experiencing dehumanization and humiliation as a result of racism can have devastating impacts on the mental and physical well-being of victims. Racism is taught in schools in a way that makes it more common. One possible factor in the racist cycle is the transmission of biased attitudes and values from older to younger generations through role models. This issue, with its cultural and historical origins, will require sustained, collective effort from our so

  Former South African president Thabo Mbeki has spoken out publicly for the first time, criticizing the current government. In doing so, he was rebutting the claims advanced by the US ambassador. The ANC is protecting Ramaphosa from responsibility for his involvement in the Phala Phala controversy, according to Mbeki, who has long been an outspoken critic of the Ramaphosa administration. The wheels have gone off the bus, he said, citing US accusations that his country supplied weaponry to Russia. Thabo Mbeki, the country's former president, claimed that the situation was totally chaotic. The present power outage poses a threat to the economy, and this move is a response to that threat. Nearly every company has taken some kind of harm, and those who have managed to stay afloat are truly struggling. Those who disagree with Thabo Mbeki have shown that they concur with his claims. The populace at large appears to believe that nothing is stable at this point. The majority of President

  The goal of Operation Dudula is to help bring about a more just society in which indigenous people are treated fairly. Unfortunately, locals' worries about illegal immigrants have frequently been written off as xenophobia, despite the fact that such voices have been heard. These undocumented immigrants populate many parts of South Africa; in fact, certain localities have become inaccessible to natives because of the high concentration of illegal immigrants there. Everyone knows that a lot of illegal immigrants weren't happy with how Operation Dudula turned out and tried to stop it from going further. Operation Dudula is unwavering in its pursuit of its goal, even though it has been characterized as a vigilante group and linked to anti-immigrant attitudes. In fact, it has been widely praised as a very promising approach to permanently reducing the flow of disruptive illegal immigrants. The police and Operation Dudula are working together to solve the problem of illegal immigra

Despite suffering an attack at the hands of Russian forces in Ukraine , South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced that he will continue negotiations with Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin in an effort to "de-escalating" the situation. The following was allegedly said by Ramaphosa following the African leaders' meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday in Kyiv. Ramaphosa said: "The launch of guided missiles does not deter us nor does it stop us from continuing to call for escalation.". We urge both nations to chose the path to peace, and the events of today [the 16th of June - ed.] have only served to heighten our calls for a de-escalation of the situation. Vladimir Putin, the ruler of Russia, is expected to meet with African leaders on June 17th. African leaders' use of the terms "conflict" and "crisis" to describe Russia's aggression against Ukraine has drawn criticism from Zelenskyy. The fact that African officials have foc

  The most dependable international messaging service, according to many individuals all around the globe, is WhatsApp. When the South African Police Services used WhatsApp to track down a serial murderer, it ended up saving them a lot of money. On Wednesday, Magistrate Keith le Keur was briefed by the Serious and Violent Crimes Unit of the Western Cape on what transpired to warrant the search for 39-year-old Javon Williams. He supposedly left his phone at the crime site, so authorities were able to contact his WhatsApp connections. Family, friends, and colleagues of Natheem flocked to the public gallery to witness his initial court appearance following his two-month evasion of capture. There may have been some really strange cases settled over WhatsApp; this could be one of them. Shortly after his picture ran in the news, Williams surrendered to the Athlone SAPS on Monday, saying he had read about his wanted status there. After months of searching, Lieutenant-Colonel Adrian Pretorius

  Recently, Mzwanele Manyi, a member of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), took the oath of office as a lawmaker representing the National Assembly in Parliament. Mr. Manyi's professional political career was officially launched at the oath-taking ceremony with Speaker Mapisa-Nqakula. With Mr. Manyi's inauguration to the National Assembly, the EFF has entered a new chapter. His oath of office is a clear indication that the EFF's leadership intends for him to play an integral role in the legislative process. Their dedication to their people and drive for economic and social progress are evident in this. An important part of South Africa's democratic system is the National Assembly, which serves as a legislative, oversight, and legislative body. Mr. Manyi has the potential to impact national conversations, shape policies, and ensure the administration is held responsible in his role as a legislator. Taking the oath of office is a solemn ritual that represents the trust

  The shocking murder of a 38-year-old boda boda driver on suspicion of having an extramarital affair with a prominent local religious leader's wife has shocked the community. This all happened at Kumbatha, a village in the Suba South constituency. Chief Andrew Ombisa stated that the deceased's long-term involvement with the priest's wife was uncovered. Reportedly, whenever the pastor would leave the woman's home, the boda boda driver would slip in to pray and have passionate encounters with her. Unfortunately, their illicit relations came to a sad head on Sunday. Upon his return home, the minister was shocked to find that his wife had been having an affair with the deceased. Neighbors hurried to the scene after the pastor frantically called for their help. The pastor allegedly sounded the alarm, and the locals became so angry that they confined the boda boda driver, Onjiro, inside the house. The outraged mob brutally attacked Onjiro, brandishing crude weapons, till he

  Peruse the evidence uncovered when law enforcement apprehended a hitman en route to assassinating a notorious cab magnate. After an intelligence-led operation, police in Verulam CBD, KwaZulu-Natal, were able to make significant achievements in their fight against crime. The heist's stolen weapon was found, and a suspect was taken into custody. Following communication with Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA), Dev Security initiated the operation. A robbery suspect was apprehended by detectives from the Verulam SAPS after they sought tactical support from RUSA, acting on a tip from the SAPS Crime Intelligence Unit. The information collected indicates that the perpetrator was apprehended in possession of a silver 9mm Browning handgun, which had been reported stolen during a robbery on George Sewpersad Road on July 20th, 023. It was believed that this individual was the mastermind behind a criminal organization that dealt mostly in the production of knives and robberies. Among the vict

  The murder and hijacking that took place in Tembisa (Gauteng Province) is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the South African Police Service (SAPS). This follows a hijacking in Tembisa (Gauteng Province) in which a man was fatally shot by assailants. As reported earlier today, on Voice of Tembisa FM, locals in the Tembisa area noticed the lifeless corpse of a man on Link road and immediately contacted the South African Police Service (SAPS) for aid. Members of the community notified the South African Police Service (SAPS) following the discovery of the body. The suspects who stole the victim's car also committed murder, according to the preliminary inquiry. He took several bullets. South African Police Service officers arrived at the site and discovered that the victim had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body. It was later discovered that the same people who had stolen his car were also the ones who had shot and killed him. No one has been taken into custo

  Many people in the Republic of South Africa have complaints about the professional behavior of former Economic Freedom Fighters national chairperson and advocate Dali Mpofu. Client confidentiality is at the heart of these charges against Advocate Mpofu. Several individuals complained about his conduct while conversing with or addressing the former Public Protector counsel, Thuli Madonsela, during the inquiry of the Public Protector that was conducted under section 194. Recently, the news spread that an individual going by the handle "Goolam" had officially filed a complaint against attorney Dali Mpofu with the Legal Practice Council. This is a complaint regarding Mpofu. The interaction between Dali Mpofu and Professor Thuli Madonsela during the section 194 hearings is the subject of my written complaint to the Legal Practice Council. In their response, they requested further details from me. To paraphrase Goolam's statement: "I will not stop until Dali is barred fr

  The cost to transfer a loved one's remains from the Angelo informal colony to Mozambique or Zimbabwe is from R8,000 to R15,000. While visiting the families on Tuesday, DA Gauteng leader Solly Msimanga listened to their grievances over inadequate funding. Last week, seventeen individuals were killed in the Boksburg slum when a gas canister was opened. Syfred Sebyeng, a 56-year-old South African, was the lone death. On Tuesday, Sebyeng's home in Bochum, Limpopo, was visited by his remains. Thembelihle Dube, age 3, and Siziwe Dube, age 20, passed away; Patrick Manganye's wife Clesta Ndlovu, age 29, and their son Lenmore Ndlovu, age 4, also passed away. Every single one of them was of Zimbabwean descent. A funeral director informed us that the funeral directors they have spoken to charge anything from R8,000 to R15,000 to transport a body. Currently, we are unable to handle the transportation of their remains. Assistance is urgently required. According to Manganye, they are a

  Jacob Zuma's vulnerability is highlighted by Cele: Discover the shocking thing the MK Party claimed about him. The South African minister of police, Bheki Cele, allegedly threatened to reveal Jacob Zuma's "dirty secrets" if the former president openly challenged the African National Congress (ANC). In an effort to clarify the present matter, this article will offer the viewpoint of the MK Party regarding Cele's behavior and the apparent personal connection to his effort to jail President Zuma. According to mythology, the MK Party first tried to pass off Cele's behavior as a mere minister of police, which was their excuse for his conduct. But new information has made them wonder whether Cele's method is really tailored to each individual. The party maintains that Diepsloot, Cape Flats, Phalaphala, KwaMashu, and similar areas would benefit more from Cele's apprehensions and seeming hostility toward Zuma if they were directed towards reducing the crime

  Goolam has escalated the already simmering tensions between Julius Malema and himself by launching into a vicious verbal attack against Malema, accusing him of persistent dishonesty. The impact of this most recent exchange on public discourse is a major worry for many observers. Goolam's comment is in reaction to yesterday's comments made by Malema on Cyril. It is crucial to address remarks like these with critical thinking and an emphasis on constructive conversation, since strong opinions and passionate debates are commonplace in politics. It is expected in a democratic society, even among political opponents, that there will be different opinions. Nonetheless, a civil and constructive discussion is ruined by name-calling and other forms of personal assault. By doing so, they sidetrack discussion of the real problems and make it harder to find workable answers. Public personalities can help create a more positive political atmosphere by having respectful conversations that

  The story goes that an older man and an 18-year-old youngster from Daveyton are having an affair. The man insists they're dating, but the woman says they're just friends. A disturbing video shows a teenage woman claiming that she and an older man are just "chill buddies" and rejecting the idea that they are dating. However, the elder man insists that their relationship goes beyond that of friends. Both men denied having any sexual relations, with the older man saying he is only waiting for her to be ready before engaging in sexual activity. On social media, there has been a commotion about the fact that young women are dating older guys for long periods of time. Some people think it's totally unacceptable, while others say it's nothing new. We are hoping that the young woman would put an end to this "relationship," focus on her studies, and become a strong, independent woman of whom her family can be proud.
