In City Press Voices: What we can learn from apartheid; Politicians can’t champion gender-based violence

Some of the opinions and analysis in the Voices section this week:

What we can learn from Apartheid

Chris Maxon argues that while the past is a painful place to be, there is some merit in examining how Afrikaner nationalism turned the tide of the ‘poor white’ into a wealthy nation if we want to address the country’s economic problems.

Working with 4IR will help SA regain its economic smarts

In order to stay relevant and keep up to date with this global change, every leader and organisation should familiarise themselves with all there is to know about the 4^th Industrial Revolution, so they can take proactive steps to minimise the negative effect it is having a country afflicted by a skills shortage and a skills misalignment crisis, writes Dudu Msomi.

Politicians can’t champion gender-based violence

Judging the happenings in Parliament where GBV was used for cheap-political scoring, our parliamentarians are the one desperately in need of education, awareness and prevention of violence against women, argues Dikeledi Molatoli.

De Klerk declassified

For a significant part of his political career, FW de Klerk was no mere appendage to the apartheid system.

He was at the helm of the commission of a crime against humanity. Madiba was more than kind in describing him merely as ‘a product of apartheid’, writes Nkosinathi Biko.
