Thabo Sebe

Western powers at it again By: Thabo Sebe Every time countries in Asia and Africa have problems, western countries meddle in those countries issues in the name of bringing peace and stability whilst they know that they always are the ones who benefit from these conflicts at the end of these wars. The western powers always bring destruction, civil wars, poverty and depleted families and they end up messing and looting those countries while the population of these countries seek refuge somewhere else. These countries always arrive in these countries uninvited, saying they are here to help restore democracy and the rule of law, knowing that they want these countries to rely on their assistance after all is done and dusted. Amazingly the United Nations keeps mum every time these western countries interfere in other countries domestic issues, but they are very vocal when countries from outside the western bloc attempt the same tactics, I think we have witnessed  and lear...

Leadership is needed to help striking farm workers By Thabo Sebe   I occasionally doubt if our current government is for the people, by the people and for the people. Every time when its people are in frenzy they first have to strike to be taken seriously, it is as if this government has not learned from what happened in Marikana.

Every time a woman or child is raped we only hear that the police are investigating and after that we hear nothing with the exception of for the minority cases they end up cracking. It seems communities, government and the police have given up on this pandemic or they just don’t care.   Indians showed the world that they have had enough by tackling head-on the rape of the student who was gang raped late last year, until the police and the justice department took action which was rare in that country before that case. Women are raped hourly in our country but the perpetrators are freely roaming the streets freely, knowing that no one will hunt them down and teach them a lesson for t...
