Universiteitstudente wie se moedertaal nie Engels is nie, behoort nie benadeel te word vergeleke met dié wat Engels tuis praat nie. Dit is waarom dit belangrik is om die speelveld ten opsigte van taal gelyk te maak.

Misdaad word gestraf, maar wat van rehabilitasie?
Die Suid-Afrikaanse strafstelsel het gefaal, en as gevolg daarvan is misdaad buite beheer. Dit is die harde en ongemaklike werklikheid wat die samelewing moet trotseer, en die land se kwellende misdaadstatistiek getuig daarvan. Een rede daarvoor is die gebrek aan rehabilitasiegeleenthede wat vir oortreders beskikbaar is. Die bekoring daarvan om…http://news.nwu.ac.za/crime-and-punishment-what-about-rehabilitation

The South African penal system has failed and as a result crime remains out of control. This is the harsh and uncomfortable reality that is plaguing society, and the country’s haunting crime statistics attest to that.
