OPINION | Apartheid sent my mom on path to an indecent funeral

South Africa Latest News, South Africa Headlines

My father, a teacher by profession, was the eldest of the siblings of three brothers and two sisters. The one sister was a teacher and the other a nurse. The teacher, with her husband, both taught in Nigel while the nurse practised in Cape Town.We were always envious of the life they lived in the republic and keen to visit Johannesburg.

In 1964, my mother, who was also a teacher, was diagnosed with cancer and was transferred from Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in Maseru to Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Soweto. My father, together with his brothers-in-law, would visit her in hospital. It is here that on one of the visits they had the Mfundisi Khumalo's moment of anxiety of constant dribbling that citizens had to engage with in their dealings with the law and amongst themselves.

They would frequently regale us with an encounter they never forgot of, an instance where a tsotsi intruded where they were accommodated. I also finally visited eGoli when my father and other family members visited my mother at Baragwanath Hospital during Easter holidays in 1964.

Land panel report looks post-apartheid failures square in the eyesOne of the many strengths of President Ramaphosa's land panel report is that it does not shy away from the corruption, patronage and nepotism that have often dogged post-apartheid land reform, writes Jeremy Cronin. And we’ll keep wondering why the economy is in a total nosedive. Because the likes of ebrahim patel have been in charge of the economy. And the anc/sacp communist policies have broken South Africa. Broke eskom. Nhi and ewc will be the end. Capital is fleeing. None so blind etc.
