DOMESTIC Passenger Rail, keeping the wheels turning

By Lawrence Venkile

he passenger rail system has always been the Achille’s heel of South Africa’s public transport system. Despite the fact that it remains the backbone ofT the system, the challenges that have to be overcome are huge and require focused and sustained effort on the part of those charged with executing policy. Therein lies the problem. Those charged with implementing government policy have not been steadfast in maintaining an acceptable level of focus to ensure interventions are sustainable. This extends to the underlying policy choices and trade-offs that constitute the foundation on which the interventions are grounded. The establishment of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) in 2009 through the amendment of the 7,224 new rolling stock coaches at relates to minimising delays and PRASA and devolving the passenger Legal Succession to the South an estimated cost of R123 billion cancellations as well as ensuring rail function to metro level.

OPINION To Build A Better South Africa, We Need A Better ANC

By Audrey M. Masemola

he African National Congress (ANC) today, is markedly different to the organization established in 1912. Our founding leaders fought for the freedom we have today.T They preached the spirit of unity. Many lost their lives for us to be where we are today. Yet, there are many who sacrificed that have not been provided with proper graves, tombstones and their families don’t know where they are buried. They were not even buried with respect and dignity. They were tortured, killed like chickens and buried like dogs in shallow graves in the middle of nowhere. They fought with their blood and sweat so that we can live in a country that is free and united. They ran away from their families and went to foreign countries, where they did not understand the language, culture and food. But they kept the faith and held on because they believed that one day their blood will nourish our personal social media pages. where we can, follow up on all the the trees that will bear the fruits We must stop sharing how many promises we make and make sure of freedom. expensive alcohol drinks we can It’s embarrassing as an ANC I love the African we keep our promises.

POEM

A Tribute to Mam Winnie Nomzamo Madikizela Mandela

By By Afzal Moolla

Today we grieve, The mother of the nation has breathed her last, today we reflect on her gallant past.

Today we mourn, the falling of a giant tree, who rattled the foundations of Apartheid, in the collective struggle to be from oppression free.

Today we weep, tears of sorrow and tears of pain, for our mother who shall no longer walk amongst us again.

Today we sing, songs of freedom and of profound loss, as we remember the cruel and brutal obstacles she had to cross.

Today we reflect, on the years of banishment and of solitary confinement she was made to suffer, with no husband, no family, nothing but her will acting as her protective buffer.

Today we recall her strength, as she fought alongside her comrades without a pause, while remaining ever faithfully dedicated to the valiant struggle, to the cause.

Today we console each other as the truth cuts deep, her life one of loss and of unimaginable pain, as we call out our eternal refrain –

Hamba Kahle Mama Winnie Mandela! We will not give up your fight! Matla ke a Rona! The Struggle Continues. Viva the undying spirit of Winnie Mandela! Viva the struggle against racism and oppression! 15 ANC Today 16 ANC Today
