OPINION: A smiling Hendrik Verwoerd is not the answer to the education crisis

So said Hendrik Verwoerd, the Architect of Apartheid, in support of the 1953 introduction of the Bantu Education Act, a system designed to separate education institutions along racial lines.

The insensitive petition calls for the government to provide all schools with proper resources to teach basic, quality skills in reading and mathematics and to replace every school pit latrine with safe, clean toilets by 1 January 2021.Their website displays a banner depicting a smiling Verwoerd, and the caption: “If we don't get behind education, we are fulfilling his legacy.”

“Together,” their website states, “we can tell our government to avoid fulfilling Verwoerd’s toxic legacy and instead give all children in South Africa a future to smile about.”The human rights group plans to put images of a smiling Verwoerd up all over Johannesburg this week and call on the public to “sign the smile off” his face.

Business Maverick: SA unemployment rate hits the highest level since the global financial crisisIn the second quarter of this year, South Africa's unemployment rate spiked to 29% from 27.6% in the first quarter, according to data released on Tuesday 30 July by Statistics South Africa. This was the highest level since 2008, when the economy was being battered by the global financial crisis. You know your economy is screwed when … Join the EFF and ANC. Lots of jobs there. As long as unions continue striking for massive increases and trashing and burning property no sane investor will do business in SA especially with our final junk status looming. Unemployment will rise even further. Proudly brought to you by ANC🤣🤣
