Lesson from TATA Nelson Mandela

How would the life be, if there are no planes, Internet & cellphones dont works.....This is a life that Egyptians & South SAfricans that found themselevs in Egypt has to live, Why our African leaders fail their ordinary citizenz? Why African leaders can't learn from a world icon TATA NELSON MANDELA, he was never hungry 4 a power but our neighbouring countries such as Egypt, Zimbabwe & Kenya are leaded by dictators who are hungry for power.


In Egypt; Hosni Mubarak has been a President for a period of 30 years & during his turner people in that sucffered. The Egyptians has been protesting for a period of a week & only asking for Hosni Mubarak 2 step down but Mubarak is still adamant for not losing his aouthority as a President. Why our African leaders fail people who have elected them to be in those power's? Can we say that African's has vacuum of leaders, a place where leaders are only concerned about their power and not caring and listening to the people who have elected them.


A leader is a leader by listening to the people and delivering services that benefits people who have elected him or her.

"Empty promises break's trust"

"Empty promises" in 2009 South African's have been urged 2 vote & promised decent jobs, in 2009 we hv been told again that 500 000 jobs will be created. However, it hs been reported in 2010 that 500 000 jobs were nt decent jobs but jobs that prepares employee to be employable in the market. January 2011 definition of decent jobs has been given a different tune again and labeled "any job is better than no job". How will ordinary citizens trust leaders that do not deliver on their promises???????

Trust is very imoportant factor in relationships, work place & leaders we elect. If trust is breaked relationships fall apart. The South African Citizens have entrusted political leaders. Yet they fail to deliver on promises they make, how will in future trust leaders that do not deliver on its promises.

According to International Labour organisation (ILO). The good employment, or decent work, is defined in accordance with a number of basic aspirations of working people everywhere. The criteria defining decent work include some of the following elements:

i) Access to employment: that employment (wage or self employment) should be available for people seeking it, that this decision be voluntary (excluding forced or compulsory employment, bonded or slave labour), in accordance with the minimum age of access to employment (banning child labour as defined by ILO conventions), and including the voluntary decision to work full or part time.

ii) Decent remuneration of work: that there should be remuneration for all work carried out, that such remuneration from work, especially in the case of wage workers, should correspond to a fair and living wage, and that work of equal value should ensure equal pay.

iii) Fair conditions of work: that working time arrangements concerning daily and weekly working hours, regular and overtime work, breaks and rest periods, should reflect fair and acceptable practices, be compatible with social and family needs, and that work intensity should avoid excessive work leading to overwork and stress, or underutilization of work.

iv) Safe work environment: that the physical work environment should avoid extreme conditions (heat, dust, noise, workloads), and ensure a safe working environment (with appropriate prevention of work related accidents, injuries and occupational diseases).

v) Protection in case of unemployment: that there should be forms of protection in the case of loss of employment as well as some support to facilitate the search of new employment.

vi) Employment and training opportunities: that there should be opportunities for training and for developing skills during the entire working life cycle as well as opportunities for advancement and moving into different positions.


If only our leaders can define to us what is a decent work and allow the burning of labour brokers will see South Africa have low rate of unemployment.

Equal Education far to be reached

Matric's at Independent Schools Scored BIG, the schools are made of +/- 8000 learners. Some received 10 out of 10 (meaning they have received disticntion on everything they have road). Well done to these matriculants, who have worked hard throught the year last year! Even though they have scored BIG, there are big question's running on my mind; where they having best teachers who are dedicated, passionate and eligible to provide them with quality education? Are their schools have adequate infrastructures (i.e. well equiped class rooms, Laboratory, Libraries & Computer labs with Internet)? Do their class rooms conducive enough to enhance learning? Does infrastructure matter nor potential of a learner is that viatal? what has contributed to their near-perfect score of their matric results?

This coming Thursday (06.01.2011) matric results for government schools will be released, this are highly antipated results that belongs to majority of learners in South Africa. This will also be the results that will change their live's. The fact that Education is a key/deliverable to alleviate poverty, not all of matriculants will be fortunate enough to go to Universities, Tertiaries or FET colleges. However, they will add to number of youth who are neitheir studying nor employet.

The researchers highlight that is not going to be easy for a person hodling only a matric certificate to be employed during this economy. Many of our brothers and sisters from higher educations will also be graduating this year, quarter of them will be employed while others will remain unemployed.

It's very imperative that before we say's 2011 Matric results for government schools (rememeber this schools are formed by +- 500 000 learners) has dropped by 2% or any percent we consider resources they have. Yes people will also talk that the matric results has dropped because Teachers went to strike and because of World Cup Events but before the Minister of Basic Education and others can complain there is much that needs to be done on the ground level. The state has to ensure that Education reources are equaly shared, by making sure that public school has adequate infrastructure and teachers that are well treated by employer.
