Weekend Argus (Saturday Edition)
Education
I’m over the protesters and their sense of entitlement.
Students in prison, if you want destroy what isn’t yours, you can rot. Good luck trying to get a job with a criminal record. That’s great – it serves the hooligans right
Protesting students in court asking for public assistance in the payment of their bail money? This after their destruction of public property. What a cheek. Why doesn’t the ANCYL come to their assistance? – Robert Gillespie, Plumstead
Why are the opposition political parties not supporting the government in condemning the student violence? Put the country’s interests before your own politics.
No matter the devastating actions and consequences of the student protests, they are ultimately sacrificing under the ills caused by apartheid still strangling people’s lives today. – Hilda Wilson
School subjects, mastering maths, geometry and science does more than just teach you those subjects, it allows your brain to work out complex issues in life too.
Geometry is part of maths so why change it? Education has been ruined enough.
After three weeks of sanity in Europe and the UK, I arrived back in SA to find the respected finance minister facing a flimsy fraud charge, the Guptas still hanging around and making a lot of noise, rampaging mobs out to destroy our universities and a president who as usual is silent and absent. On top of this, a morning radio show debates the archaic practice of polygamy, a “cultural” practice enthusiastically adopted by the silent and absent one. Am I exaggerating when I think I’ve been pitched into the middle of a lunatic asylum? – William Bowler, Hout Bay
