President @CyrilRamaphosa Why is one of the biggest financial decisions in South Africa’s democratic history being done so quietly and in secret?
We’re talking about R84 billion in public assets, R140 billion in new borrowing and billions more in potential taxpayer funds)
No proper national debate. No real public consultation.
South Africans deserve transparency. What are you hiding with this @Eskom_SA Transmission restructuring?
I respect this movement it was again the people from townships that had to fight this battle for 16 years, they didn’t sit around saying “what about the blah blah” they did the work and fought.
South Africa has multiple issues that all need to be addressed from multiple different fronts, see a problem that directly affects you? Fight, campaign, raise money, make submissions. Don’t tell active movements there is a better problem to solve while solving nothing.
I studied architectural design in Cameroon and every architect they taught me was European. Every movement, every theory, every name on the required reading list. The Great Mosque of Djenné, the Moorish arch, Great Zimbabwe never appeared on any syllabus.
Now I am studying management and every economist is Western. George Ayittey, a Ghanaian who built an entire economic framework for African development, has never appeared in a single lecture. Dambisa Moyo, a Zambian economist who argued that Western aid is destroying African economies, same.
Two disciplines. Not one African name in the required reading.
This is not only an architecture problem. It is medicine, law, economics, history. Every field is taught through a foreign lens and when a student tries to think beyond it they are disciplined for it.
We are not behind because we lack knowledge. We are behind because we were taught that ours does not count.
After closing technical & finishing colleges, after deskilling South Africans?
After allowing almost half a million to die in the manner they did because of his pseudo science?
Asibathuki enough.
Kids in the township are sometimes taught core analytical subjects like Physics and Maths in their native language and studies have shown that they pass better than when they get taught in a foreign language (i.e English) but the Zulu Python interpreter is "useless" to you guys
