Mdantsane - President Cyril Ramaphosa formally launched the Good Green Deeds campaign in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape, on Friday but not without hiccups.
Even though senior government officials appealed to the rowdy group of students not to disrupt Ramaphosa, they continued to sing with some carrying placards with the words 'ANC failed us' written on them. Environmental Affairs Minister Nomvula Mokonyane who was the programme director also appealed to students to “calm down” promising that a government official was to attend to their concerns.
Students continued to sing and calmed down in the middle of Ramaphosa’s speech. By the time Ramaphosa was on the tail-end of his speech, the students had stopped singing.

Letter to the Editor: Opposition to trophy hunting is a major social movement for goodIn an article to mark World Wildlife Day, Leith Meyer, a veterinarian at the University of Pretoria, writes about the danger of poorly informed social media campaigns mounted by distant advocates who, with all good intentions, might harm on-the-ground conservation efforts.
