U CAN GO TRADITIONALLY OR  ENGLISH DOCTOR.

John S. Wiener, MD,
chief of Duke Children’s
 Division of Urology

As intens as the topic  is it is very important to be communicated among us as people. It is your choice  to go to either traditional circumcision or English medical doctor circumcision,The fact it is important that you go .Even though many people have that mmentality of saying if you go to traditional circumcision  you will die,personally i believe at some of initiation school people die because that traditional healer does not have the gift for such operations and this create a bad image for those who actually know what they are doing.

 I would like to educate and communicate a very important message of why it is important to get circumcised.John S. Wiener, MD, chief of Duke Children’s Division of Urology and Dennis Clements, MD, PhD, chief of primary care pediatrics at Duke  explains

• .Prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).circumcised men carry a lower risk of contracting HIV than uncircumcised men.
• Prevention of urinary tract infection. Circumcision reduces the incidence in infants boys by up to 10-fold, but it is only a reduction of 1 percent to 0.1 percent. The resulting benefit is not thought to continue at older ages.
• Prevention of penile cancer. Essentially only uncircumcised men develop this cancer     
• Get circumcised because i believe it is important to you as long as you are a male individual                                                                                                                                                                    

Campus manager assulting lecturers and students

I honestly think that the respect for lecturers is very important,But lecturers should also respect their students.I think that having a good relationship with your lecturers is a good platform for prosperity.The relationship between student or lecturers and campus managers or chancellors of the university is always good since we do not engage too much.

In this the case the students and lecturers have a good relationship the problem is  with the campus manager.

They accused the campus manager, Andrew Dube, of verbally abusing them.

The students and lectures said that Dube had insulted them by remarking that :

1. some of you are smelly, 
2.  You look like you have not had a bath, 
3.  You smell of alcohol and dress like hoboes”. 
4.   their classrooms “are filthy,
5.  the toilets are disgusting,
6. while the campus is dirty”.

Teaching and learning have been disrupted at the Dobsonville Further Education and Training (FET) campus, prompting angry students to call for intervention by education authorities.  Students start  the strike and as the strike entered its third day on Wednesday, some of the frustrated students resorted to drinking alcohol inside the campus premises. The college was plunged into chaos on Monday after lecturers and administrative staff members embarked on a wildcat strike.

I believe that the campus manager needs to change his behaviour or get fired.As a Campus manager  you communicate a very important massage from the leadership of the university or college.You are not suppose to be assaulting others but helping them and guiding them.The manager was suppose to sit and do environmental scanning  and come up with possible solution to help with the problem, not assault lecturers  and students.

As a  student\Lecturer what would you do if you where insulted by  Campus manager or someone of  a higher position in the university.

Does illuminati exist yes or no?

I Find it hard to believe in the Illuminati since most of the individual accused  of being in the Illuminati group are in countries such as U.S.   .Illuminati is assumed to be associated with rich people but for your information if i was rich i would never join this society it goes against my values .I often asked myself where  did all this theories of Illuminati start,Who started this.The Illuminati was founded in the mid-1700s by Adam Weishaupt and backed by international bankers. Weishaupt produced the objectives and outlines of the Illuminati Order in 1776

Five theories about Illuminati:

1.The Illuminati infiltrate and take over organisations of all kinds, from churches to the post office to the corner grocery store, and turn them to their own ends.
2.They have agents and "sleepers" planted everywhere. Many of these people have no idea who they are really reporting to. Others are active members of the conspiracy, working their way ever deeper into the fabric of society.

3.They control the schools in order to make sure that young people learn to enjoy strange tuneless music and weird outlandish games, and that they dress oddly.

4.And, of course, murder is an ancient political weapon. The Illuminati have been responsible for some of the most shocking assassinations of modern time

5.The Illuminati manipulate the stock market and control currencies on an international level. Your paycheck is worth just what the Illuminati want it to be.

There  are  theories that most of the rich people are controlled by Illuminati. Celebrities that have more money are often accused of being a member of the Illuminati group.There are claims that Jay Z and  the wife are in the  Illuminati group.It is has not been  proven that   these allegations are true but i believe that everyone has his own view about the celebrities associated with Illuminati.  If the group is out there why not the people who follows it come and let the public know so that it can be accepted in the public's eye like followers of god accepting and showing themselves in public without fear .Thats how i view it. What are your view?.Do you believe celebrities are involved?.Do you think its just something people are talking about and its not real?

Does SA belong to the bric( most developing) countries

The truth is this country is growing,but what we are asking ourselves is  that is it growing so fast that it deserves to be named as one of the country that  is developing very fast in the world.The country still has serious problems such as allegations of police commisioner and the president's corruptions.such  issues makes other countries to believe that SA still need to fixed especially in the government.

 Yes politically we still have problems but ecomically the country seems to be growing.despite the corruption going in the  country   there is enough water in the land than before,enough shelter,more job oportunities arosing,

marketing company Brand SA said :

• "We believe South Africa is an integral part of Africa and works to increase its stability, unity, prosperity, and international influence," Brand SA chief executive Miller Majola said in a statement.
• It will be the first time for South Africa to   participate in the summit as a full member. South Africa joined the group last year.

South African President Jacob Zuma will has led a delegation of ministers and business leaders to the fourth BRICS summit which was cheduled for March 28-29  in New Dehli, India later this week, according to Brand SA, a company set up in 2002 to promote a positive image of South Africa.

• The summit  provide an opportunity for member countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa -- to debate issues of mutual interest and concern, the statement said.
• The summit was increasing in stature at a time when Western countries were experiencing a decline in their traditional political and economic power, the statement said.
• This is a clear indication of the growing stature of emerging nations, the statement noted.

"The BRICS grouping is the most concrete and rapidly evolving example of this phenomenon. In just four years, the formal agenda for cooperation and consultation has expanded dramatically to span politics, trade and business, science, academic, and cultural interactions," said the statement.

I say south africa deserves to be in the group.What do you think 

PRISONERS WHO SINGS LIKE ANGELS

South African prisoners are on the mission to better their life .Ones you become a convict  people turn to think of you as bad person .i think that is going to chage

weaponry usually denied them in
correctional centres. (Phillip de Wet, M&G)

 Prisoners who sing like angels

The department of correctional services hosted the national offender choir competition to showcase offenders' musical skills. Choral music is one of many rehabilitation tools used to assist offenders in their reintegration into society.

More videos

The men with guns, it turned out, had nothing to worry about. Their prisoners may not have been in shackles or prison uniforms, and a little bit of determination and organisation would almost have guaranteed a successful escape. But this crowd was not about to put a foot wrong. Their futures depended on their behaviour and they had worked too hard to mar their records now. Also, their fellows would be liable to extract vicious retribution on anyone who spoilt the fun for everyone.

"For a few days, you feel that you are free," acting prisons commissioner Nontsikelelo Jolingana told the prisoners. "We hope that your behaviour won't embarrass us and force us to cancel activities of this nature."

 PRETORIA CENTRAL ESCAPE ALMOST RUINED IT

It must have been tempting to cancel the entire event when, just a week before, three inmates made it all the way out of Pretoria Central Prison in a blaze of public humiliation for the department of correctional services. But here was the same minister who had waggled her finger at those three dazed and bloodied would-be escapees in front of the television cameras, this time promising to reform the rules regarding keeping criminal records for at least some types of crimes to make it easier for former cons to get jobs.

• "It is not easy. Bear with us," said Correctional Services Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula of those reform efforts. "We realise it is the only way of assisting you so that you do not go back to a life of crime."

She spoke movingly of prisoners reaching out to their communities, of making prisons places of skills development rather than retribution, and of rewards for good behaviour.

• "This goes into your file towards a consideration when the time comes for parole," she told the prisoners, to an audible sigh. "The people who are here are people we believe want to be rehabilitated and are ready for reintegration into their communities."

Every body derseves a chance even hardcore criminals.You may be suprised of how they can chage.let us suppoort this people in their music,maybe some will realise that life is not all about doing bad things .

After a long work to freedom there is still Racism and Homophobia



University of stellenbosch

 The university of Stellenbosch has a serious problem.Many South Africans died so that we can live a freedom life but at Stellenbosch blacks still  experience racism.The gays and the lesbians are also been harassed for what they are or chose to become.If this is happening at the university level  it shows that south Africa still has serious problem

Daniel Mikes, a lecturer in the department of earth sciences, said he had many students come to him over the past three years with stories about discrimination on campus.
"I feel I should be able to send them down the right channel, but I don't know where to send them. “Sensitivity." Racism and homophobia
Yet, there have undoubtedly been incidents of racism and homophobia.
.

• After a black student was allegedly attacked by a group of white students two years ago, Mikes and some colleagues started a forum called "Just talk", that aimed to address, among other problems, racial discrimination through open and honest conversation. The initiative eventually fell apart after conflict arose between the different race groups that were part of the forum

• A lesbian resident of Stellenbosch said students abused her during a night out with her coloured girlfriend about a month ago. "We are used to guys commenting and saying derogatory things, but this night the guys were getting pushy and the comments became racist," she said.

The university's dean of students, Llewelynn Macmaster, said: "We are committed to transformation. We are not saying we have arrived, we are not completely transformed, we are struggling in some areas more than others, but I have seen enough already to be positive about Stellenbosch University."

The chairperson of the university's sexual harassment advisory committee, Amanda Gouws, told the M&G that a foreign student was physically assaulted by three white young men in a "race-based attack" last month.

For the sake of our sisters and brothers who studies at stellenbosch the matter should be resolved so the that they can  have free and fair treatment at the university.
