If the MPs want to emulate South Africa (SA), they should not stop at the dropping of masks issue only. They should be working on telling government to emulate SA in the issue of grants for the elderly.

SA’s Social Development Minister, Lindiwe Zulu, has forwarded proposal amendments that would see deserving people receiving the social relief of distress grant of R624 up, from R350. This is what they should be calling on government to emulate. The country is engulfed by serious issues and all they can think about are face masks. For crying out loud, the wearing of face masks should be an individual’s choice.

Environment

The prime minister recently told the nation that the current environment in the country was not conducive for the dialogue to be held. If my memory serves me right, almost all dialogues are held in volatile environments

Dear parent, this is a letter coming from a child to you. I’m here to give you some advice.

Your example carries more weight than your words. What do I mean by this? What you do as a parent is more important than what you say. This is not to say that your words don’t carry any weight, your actions just carry more weight.

Children are inclined to emulate what you do, regardless of what you say. Please practice what you preach.

You can’t tell your child not to

drink or smoke, while you have a cigarette in your mouth and a beer in your hand.

Someday, when that child ends up drinking or smoking, you won’t be able to reprimand them because they’ll tell you that they saw you doing it! Back to what I said in the beginning; examples carry more weight than words. I thank you.
