Imagine a situation where a school principal is found guilty of gross misconduct following due process. Still, parents elect the same individual to the school governing body to oversee the same school. I believe the constitution and parliament rules should be amended so that eligibility is not limited only to those sentenced for 15 months without an option of a fine but must include those condemned by the Chapter Nine institutions such as the Public Protector, Auditor General, and Gender Commission. This must include those condemned by the Judicial Service Commission and the Courts as liars and dishonourable. Do you agree?

“I’ve wanted to see this product created since my 1st experience of non-drafting racing and I’m sure most of the world’s triathletes feel the same. It’s great that the team are working hard on a technology that will make racing fairer for everyone in the future.”@AliBrownleetri

We were told that Dr Alex Magaisa bought groceries for every family in his village. He paid schools fees for many kids who today are in boarding, villagers don’t know what they will do next term. He provided if there was a funeral not only in his village, but surrounding areas!

Cyclist - When you are riding your gravel bike on the road and you ride up on a man on his bike in his team gear & carbon wheels. Then he spends the next 5 min going max effort to try and drop you. A-hole - when he looks over his shoulder & you are looking around whistling.

A nugget of wisdom I wish I had discovered much earlier in life, is that failure is an inevitable gateway to extraordinary achievements #DailyThought

At times such as these I am ashamed of my country. SA is trying to keep ‘political issues’ – and Russia’s name – out of a UN Ukraine resolution businessinsider.co.za/trendi… – at South Africa

Boris Romantschenko survived the concentration camps #Buchenwald, #Peenemünde, #Dora and #BergenBelsen. Now he has been killed by a bullet that hit his house in #Charkiv, #Ukraine. He was 96 years old. We are stunned.

We need to start charging drunk drivers with murder when they kill someone on the roads. We have a serious problem in this country.

An apology for me has three components. 1. Admission and clear understanding of wrong doing (say the words) 2. Genuine remorse (show the words) 3. Changed behavior (do the words) Anything less is lip service.

What do you give a criminal syndicate on its 110th birthday? Nothing. They've already stolen it all 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yet today the SA media reports a COVID-19 “firestorm sweeping across the country”.

Replying to @cullis
There is an illness. That's not in doubt. Probably viral. But exactly which virus is the question. PCR testing cannot differentiate between non-infectious viral particles and actively infecting virus. That's one key basis for legal challenge posed by Dr Reiner Fuellmich's team.
