The Class of '94
The class of '94 has been in power for more than 30 years. They don't learn lessons. what can you expect from a regime that oppresses its own minorities, and call it “positive discrimination”? What can you expect from people that have destroyed a country, and yet steadfastly believe they can do no wrong?

Settlement or Surrender?
Discrimination in SA has its roots in the Constitution, and its interpretation, and are increasingly not been traced back, or derived from, the balance in opposing worldviews reached during the Codesa negotiated settlement, but in the ideological roots of one side of the historic conflict; that is, to the Freedom Charter, and the National Democratic Revolution. The Constitution is, practically and judicially, read as extensions of revolutionary theory.

White South Africans, Opinion and Transformation
The divide in the South African White population about Apartheid and race laws; transformation and redress, is more or less cast in stone. This was actually always the case; with “always”, I mean since Unification of the country in 1910. It’s about worldviews, and the worldviews of most White South Africans are fixed.

"The Firm": South Africa's Governing Oligarchy
The ANC is a mafia-type Firm, with the oligarchy inner-circle exercising power, and monopolizing wealth; controlling their "territory" (SA) through their gun-swigging gangsters (state and institutions power) to retain privilges.

Academia
My problem with the current academic model is that there is seemingly very little relationship between effort and result. Academics’ performance is not assessed in terms of their ability to get students (learners) ready for the world of work. In the model that QS World University Rankings use to rank universities, only 10% of the assessment weight is allocated to reputation among prospective employers.

Haatspraak: Die dubbele standaarde
Die vertoon van die ou landsvlag is verban omdat dit met apartheid geassosieer word, terwyl die lied "Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer" om dieselfde rede nie as haatspraak beskou word nie (die gunsteling argument van "'n vryheidslied".

Is the "suspended" ideological fight now on again?
What’s going on with Ramaphosa and Donald Trump’s behaviour towards South Africa? Why is the delegation Ramaphosa has promises to send to the United States to “provide accurate information” about the expropriation act and race laws of the country not getting off the ground?

Ouma
aan die einde van die dag het Ouma die smaad van die wêreld, en dan spesifiek haar nie-Blanke landsgenote, verdien vir haar aandeel in apartheid. Hulle het verkeerd gekies toe hulle die keuse gemaak het vir ʼn stelsel wat hulle naaste van hulle menswaardigheid gestroop en hulle brutaal onderdruk het.

Die Broederbond
Die AB was duidelik ʼn effektiewe meganisme was om bepaalde politieke doelwitte te bereik. Wat het oorgebly van een van die mees omvangryke en effektiewe strategieë wat in die werking gestel was om Afrikanermag – en dominasie in Suid-Afrika te bewerkstellig en te verskans? ʼn Leë dop.
