Protesting attendants not required
DURING the last couple of centuries man has used mechanics and technology to enhance productivity and to save themselves from doing things manually. |

Public has right to know truth
THE gist of Monday’s editorial is that the metro suspended its municipal manager and after a year it has not completed its investigation nor, therefore, been able to prove the allegations made. |

Wording of Freedom Charter must be respected
AT this turbulent time in South Africa, it is interesting to see again the wording of the Freedom Charter of 1955 which was supposed to represent the core principles of the ANC, the South African Indian Congress, the South African Congress of Democrats and the Coloured People’s Congress. |

Will 40 million non-union citizens please stand up!
IT strikes me, during this unsettling period of industrial action, political poppycock and general mismanagement, that if Zwelinzima Vavi wants to really bring the country to its knees, he should organise a strike of non- unionised citizens. |

Press freedom

Open letter to Jacob Zuma

Union must crack down on violence
IT is regrettable that a child of nine lost his valuable life tragically at a club rugby game in Uitenhage and a request for video evidence has been sought (“Boy dies in rugby chaos”, The Herald, August 23). |

Cops intimidate school pupil
REGARDLESS whether a person agrees with the current teachers’ strike, it is surely expected that professional people show certain ethics. Sadly this is not the case. |

Malema, well done at council
AS a delegate to the recent ANC Youth League first national general council in Midrand’s Gallagher Convention Centre, I congratulate the ANC Youth League president, Julius Malema, for his handling the matter of his deputy, Andile Lungisa. Malema openly announced that the vote of no-confidence against the deputy president was driven by jealousy, witchcraft, satanism and personal issues. |
