READER LETTER | Black, white rule both proved disastrous (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we approach the local government elections, we do so with a wealth of knowledge and experience gathered from the past. Centuries of white rule − while developmentally and progressively good for the country, built on the sweat, suffering, untold oppression and dehumanising laws imposed on all non-white communities by white rulers − ultimately had to be dismantled and overthrown, because of its utterly intolerable excesses. So, no one must ever dream of going back there or resuscitating such an
READER LETTER | Vote to save SA from ruin (opens the original)
Read excerpt

READER LETTER | No ‘Freedom Day’ for the poor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People are protesting because they are not free and are being used by the ANC government. They are still shackled and restrained by poverty, homelessness, unemployment, corruption, and a constitution that’s failing to protect citizens. Only politicians, their associates, and those who benefit from criminality celebrate the so-called Freedom Day. They celebrate because they do not know how it feels to go to bed hungry. They live in mansions surrounded by tight security and never experience being
