    We need to teach our boys and girls how to behave... i think it starts at home. Being bullied is just so traumatic and it needs to be taken seriously.

    Children behave the way they are taught at home. So I think that parents should start disciplining their children so that they can become responsible adults

    Legal actions has to be taken or else they will see nothing wrong with what they are doing. The pupils should be motivated not to keep quiet with matters like this but bring them upfront so that it can be dealt with immediately.

How far does the R410 child support grant really go

Image
Last week the Minister of finance announced that the social grant will increase from R380  to R400 on 1 April and R410 on 1 October. Gigaba also announced that VAT will increase from 14% to 15%. The DA's say that R410 is not enough because other families use social grant not only buy food but to pay for school necessities and transport. The DA's says the VAT increase is "anti-poor" and that "Gigaba’s absurd argument that the vulnerable would be protected through 'zero-rating basic food items and above average increases in grants' proves that he has no idea how poor people in our country struggle each and every day just to put food on the table."

Teacher forces eight year old child to strip as punishment.

  The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has expressed outrage, after an eight-year-old boy was forced to strip naked in front of his classmates. A eight year old pupil at Daluxolo Primary School  in kwaZulu Natal was forced to strip in front of his classmates as a punishment for making noise during the lesson. Undressing a learner is not the correct way to deal with them, it's the violation of there rights and is against the law and it may accelerate child abuse. To discipline a child is responsibility, character and commitment of a teacher but this was not the correct measure.  The IFP wants the teacher in question fired and removed from the education system altogether, adding that this was abuse of the worst kind.
