Cornwall College, a monument of privilege, on a hill welcoming international guests into Pretoria, and ironically just next to the ANC's NEC prime meeting spot, has volunteered itself into a June the 16th subject. 'Flirting' with the 'demon of racism', Cornwall has blown open the myth that living standard measured [...]

A stable order is a rare thing in the world. The idea of freedom in South Africa remains the most illusive of Democratic experiments that emerged from a negotiated settlement. In negotiating the enfranchisement of BantuBlacks from 1990 to 1996, when a Democratic Constitution was adopted, the Liberation Complex led [...]

My Garden has WHITE ROSES. They teach me life lessons. It would seem WHITE ROSES can only cross pollinate with their own. When they do with other NON-WHITE ROSES, it is generally in controlled conditions or in a laboratory. In fact, and it would seem, WHEN BEEs try that, BEEs [...]

The resilience of organisations is a function of their systems. The more an organisation introduces systems that can be repetitive and scaled beyond its centre in its workings, the better a resilient entity it will be.

The 1994 democratic breakthrough remains one of the greatest experiences our country has gone through. The mere presence of a released Mandela became the necessary opiate to tone our approach to the chiselling in of the nation’s liberation aspirations. The mandate to finalise the country’s Constitution as the bedrock of [...]

The scourge of corruption has been with post-liberation governments in Africa for as long as independence was gained from colonial masters. Corruption robbed the continent of its development potential and global competitive capacity. In almost all instances of corruption, it has been an in-public sector sub-vocation practised by members of [...]

As we reminisce on the Public Service as the index institution of leadership in the development of globally competitive nations, we are saddened to hear of the passing of the founding father of the South African post-apartheid Public Service Commission, Pof Stan Sangweni.Affectionately called Bra Stan, despite his visible elder [...]
