Things have changed, South African society is different from what it used to be
From oppression to depression, from jail times to failed times
The law is no longer in favour of the poor but those who can afford
Bails differ with wealth, the poor die in holding cells, this is getting worse
But my concern is not the changes with the country but the dying caring from the ones who lead us. I spent the first days of January researching in Eastern Cape. The education system has failed dismally and nobody is willing to help these poor children. 33% passed Mathematics: The subject is a main requirement to University, an intelligent person would ask. What does this mean? It means only 33% will be admitted to degrees and diplomas, the rest will need to go back to high school and study again. Are these children failing or the system of education has failed the children? Maths was made a compulsory subject for high school, even those who can't cope need to do it. The question is. Can they do it? When the results are released, we all smile but we never ever think of the difficulties yet to be faced by these learners. I am afraid, education is the main result of poverty, oppression and depression. We cannot go on with this, it is destroying those with no resources, those who cannot cope, those who are disadvantage. Why do we keep on pushing these young men and women to poverty? why?
