Lae stempersentasie: Opvoeding is die antwoord – Noordwes-Universiteit
Die straf en die oortreding pas nie by mekaar nie. Suid-Afrika het ’n endemiese, groeiende en unieke siekte wat nie net die gesondheid van ons land se demokratiese strukture raak nie, maar dit is ook ’n baie swak vorm van straf vir die gebrek aan dienslewering. Die stempersentasie raak al hoe laer, maar om weg te bly, is nie ’n oplossing vir…https://news.nwu.ac.za/low-voter-turnout-education-how-we-fix-it-north-west-university

Suid-Afrika is op die rand van ’n resessie, en die voortgesette verbrokkeling van semistaatsinstellings soos Eskom en Transnet is besig om die land se ekonomiese probleme te vererger. Een van die talle sektore wat lamgelê word, is ook een van die belangrikstes, naamlik landbou.
