THE only thing the Northern Areas Festival celebrates is excessive and under age drinking.

IN reading all the articles, it seems South Africa is going to come to a standstill. The government is finished making their millions out of us, now we suffer. Out with the ANC.

IN 1992, the apartheid era, the dollar cost me R2.70. Today it cost R8.30. It was even R13 one year. What happened?

MAYOR Wayile, my name is Edwin, not stupid. Convince the idiots that follow you.
