A quote in the Daily Dispatch online of Tuesday 26 th,by Barney Pityana said: "we must blame nobody but ourselves for the tragedy of our education system,a collapsing healthcare system"

He says we should blame ourselves because we the people,are the ones who elect a Government to rule the country. "We have elected a Government without any intelligence collectively to understand what must be done"said Pityana.

Mr Pityana was speaking in Grahamstown on Monday at Kingswood College's annual memorial lecture to celebrate the life of anti-apartheid activist Neil Aggett. He said people must stop their tendency of blaming, the country's short comings on the Apartheid past.

NOW A TWEET CAN GET YOU ''KELLOGS CRISPS''

Kim Murray, the first Tweetshop shopper

I don't know whether its a great way of Advertising or attracting customers. Kellogs is now looking at bridging the gap, between social currency and real life money,by letting customers at a central london store pay for Special K cracker crisps with a tweet.Allowing consumers to spend their social currency isn't just a good promotional gimmick. It is a concrete illustration of the value that Twitter holds in the real world, as well as a demonstration of how our online and offline lives are merging.

All you need to write on your tweet is :#tweetshop hashtag. It seems like this new trend will not only take place in London. Because this summer in Cape Town a vending machine is set up to deliver free BOS tea. These brands are really going out of their way to improve sales.

ZUMA PLANS ACTION ON MALEMA!!


Julius Malema (AP)

The fact that he was suspended from the ANC youth league, was not enough to silence Julius Malema or perhaps maybe keep his mouth shut. Malema is still making news even though he was suspended. On Tuesday this week Malema was addressing a group of miners, near Carlentonville.

He urged the workers to continue striking until members of the National Union of Mineworkers stepped down. Now The President Jacob Zuma, seems like he got enough of Juju's visits to the mines. As a result the President has engaged with Ministers concerned with this, to discuss ways on how to deal with Malema.

This mining strike has really caused some Political tension in this country. It is also clear that it will not come to any solution soon.

JUJU'S VISIT TO THE STRIKING MINERS

Malema also believes that the mine owners give a lot of money, to Jacob Zuma trusts account. Which might be the reason why the Govrnment has distanced itself from this issue. Juju also said the workers should strike at least 4 days in each and every month.

PROTEAS 5TH SERIES

The South African cricket team will be looking, at yet achieving another victory against England. According to reports the proteas want to keep England of their backs. Hashim Amla who was the first, South African batsman to reach a triple century is the man that many will put thier hope on.

This tour has really proved to be a success, for the proteas. Many commentators say that the Bowling department in very safe with the likes of Tsotsobe and Steyn to mention a few. The only concern is in the batting side.In reality we can't only depend on Hashim Amla, and Kallis. As it seems like the will be no any batsman to replace the two, because they are the best. Our hope is on the young cricketers playing countyside cricket maybe we can have some future stars from there. All eyes will be looking at today's ODI as the boys want to remain victorious and  on top of their game.
