HEALTH DEPARTMENT BLUES
HEALTH MEC Sicelo Gqobana comes down here guns blazing. Replace 50 experienced doctors with 15 juniors. That's a big step in the right direction.
ANON
OUR department of health is full of nepotism. The MEC can try everything, but when the rat is still around it'll never be good in hospitals.
ACE, PE
SO our Health MEC decides to finally do his job. Someone needs to remind him a year has 365 days.
ANON
HEALTH MEC has a big month 'coz he is under fire with the hospital on the brink of closing. We need competent people running this country.
AL
DEFINITELY a man we can work. His honesty is unprecedented. We need to encourage and assist him. Gqobana is definitely a man of good character.
ANON
IT is high time Health MEC Sicelo Gqobana sorted out his main problem, namely Sizwe Kupelo !

ZUMA needs cultural liberation. Traditional dress. Since when is a tee shirt part of traditional dress? Old bat

MINIS and stilettos: Well said ANON, not to mention the white trend, wearing fake, straight and coloured long/short hair!, amusing.

BACK TO SCHOOL
OPENING of schools still the same, 64 children in a class is a recipe for a disaster. May God strengthen our educators.

PARKSIDE Primary school pupils on front page of Herald aged 4 and 5 years, surely you must have made a mistake with their age!
JAY, PE
Parkside Primary has a pre-primary facility which these children attend.
EDUCTION Dept saves by keeping teachers on contract – they usually don't get paid for Jan and maybe for Feb as well.

MUNICIPAL MANAGER
CITY set back 500k for manager. I know the mayor has good intention but we the rate payers have forked out enough money for the NMBM for all their flops.
SICKEN
When I grow up ... Little kids, big dreams. Start school. Oops no one wants to become a municipal manager.
