WITNESSED ANY CORRUPTION LATELY?

Corruption is really everywhere….in politics, the police force, schools, hospitals and so on…what can we as individuals do to expose corruption scandals that are done in these areas of concern? 

Last week Thursday, on the 26^Th of April I was on my way home from school for the long weekend and on the M2 highway to the East Rand (Gauteng, South Africa) I saw a traffic cop accepting money from a person who probably was on the wrong side of the law….it is really sad that traffic officials accept bribery and in the process endanger the lives of other road users.

As individuals let us expose local corruption by sharing each others experiences as well as any corruption-related stories we may have witnessed weather recently or not. I have shared my story…what is yours???

FREEDOM DAY....

Freedom day

To many, freedom day is an annual celebration of our country’s first elections that took place in the year 1994. It represents unity, preservation and restoration of human dignity that was shattered during the Apartheid era.

It really took a while for South Africa to partially overcome oppression from the Apartheid government because many live where lost. Now that SA has overcome the apartheid era, we still have people who continue racism and those who still hold a grudge against white people…if then this is the case can we really say that we have completely overcome racial oppression? I honestly believe not. For us to move towards a better future, we have to let go of the past and believe me I know this is more easily said than done.

Research reveals that during apartheid, crime and corruption were very low because the government restricted people’s movement and applied very strict laws which I could say did not leave much room for crime.Today, we are free and have rights as individuals which protect us, but crime and corruption continue to grow at an alarming rate. Apartheid = crime & corruption free…..Democracy: Crime and corruption driven…..Is freedom getting to our heads?????
