The news that the former President Nelson Mandela is being hospitalised is not good news. Let us all take time out to pray for him, that he gets better and strong. I hope during the course of the day the Nelson Mandela Foundation will give a statement about his condition to avoid conflicting information from different media. The ANC through their spokeperson says it is just a routine checkup, but this also is not an official statement as they leave the Foundation to give an official statement. We can't argue that because we do not have access to him. Speculation is not OK!
For me personally like mentioned in my profile, like many around the world, he is a role model and a hero. So when you take time out to have silent moment, let him be part of your prayers.

The birth of the New Political Party, what does it mean?
Since the '94 our Political situation keeps being more interesting! Today we've seen the media briefing introducing the new Political party, the NFP of which majority of its members are obviously from the IFP. The establishment of this party, what does it mean?
I believe it is one thing that weakens the IFP terribly, the question is, will it survive the next 10 years? lets take the arears where IFP had strong hold more so in the KZN, will we be saying the same thing after the next municipal elections? the residents who voted for the IFP before will now be divided between the two Parties. It means the ANC or other parties might gain strength in those areas. The other point is that some of the supporters will decide to join other parties outside the IFP or NFP meaning less numbers for both parties.
People had high hopes when COPE was formed and others went as far as saying it will be 'the main' opposition party in the country, today whats happening is the opposite of what some analysts predicted.
Please let me and others hear your opinion/views.

Matriculants needs help.
Our matriculants seriously need help in what careers to follow, sadly it is late in their educational journey but it is true that most of them are not sure of what careers to follow or different careers that exist despite the obvious ones. Only if enough was done in schools regarding this the situation, I think we would be in a much better position. Yes, one would say Life Orientation is covering this aspect, it is not enough.
If you check them trying to register at different institutions you come to realise they are not sure of what is it they are talking about, they know the title, but zip of the content (what fields are about). Lets take as an example, IT, most would say they want to study Inforamtion Technology, it is one of the broad fields of which most arent even aware of this fact. One is intending to study end user computing (eg Office Package) only to find he/she registers for Programming only to be frustrated later on in the year. They visit different FET Colleges as they are ecouraged by the government, its good but the information on what is being taught at the FET's is of uttermost importance.
FET's are offering NCV's as Nated (N1 - N6) courses are being phased out, (Thanks some Nated are still being offered) NCV Level 4 is horizontal with Matric. Meaning a learner with Matric will study NCV for 3 years but at the end of the 3 years he/she is still at NQF Level 4, his/her peers who went to Universties ot University of Technology will be at higher NQF after completing a three year qualification. Only in the middle of the year when they learn this information they start dropping out of the FET's. I am not saying learners should not do NCV but I am saying we should help them with the information so that when they register they know what they are registering for.
Some choose careers because of its fancy name or good perks, as much as they have to look into this they should also do something they love and have passion for so that when they start working later on, they should be excited to wake up to go for work. I sure could say mouthful, FET's was just an example to say lets help our learners!
Learnerships is still one of the best alternatives and Matriculants can visit different SETAs, government Departments among others to check available Learnerships. If you are a Matriculant visit the library or ask your teacher more info on things like Learnership. You can also holla at me, I'll be glad to help.
