I READ the article by Kazeka Mashologu Kuse, “Mandela legacy of reconciliation slowly fading away”.

PRAISE singer Lawrence Troon, are you really telling us that this metro is being well run by competent people? Are you into comedy now?

ON Women’s Day, the Eastern Cape Democratic Alliance Women’s Network (Dawn) celebrated women’s rights-based resistance to the extension of racist and gendered legislation in 1956 with public protector Thuli Madonsela.

THE image of a woman replicating oral sex on a Mercedes Benz hood ornament that accompanies the article, “Dumb blondes may have the advantage, temporarily” (August 13), is blatantly pornographic and inexcusable. Aside from the blatant sexual context of the image, the woman's nipple is clearly visible.

PASSENGERS in minibus taxis and buses should be empowered to take control if they feel their lives are being put in danger. They should be able to phone the existing traffic emergency number - 080-064-4644 toll free - and know law enforcement officers will respond immediately.

THE recent court order in favour of the schools is and will always be remembered as a victory for all schools (“Victory for schools in posts battle”, July 27). This is a victory not only for the northern areas of Port Elizabeth, but for all schools in the city, the province and the rest of the country.

HANDS up all of you who are sick and tired of the ANC and its alliance partners’ continuous usage of tired old military/revolutionary jargon 20 years after we all voted “yes” to change.

KAZEKA Kuse, when I respond to your “Unspoken Thoughts”, I am sure you will make certain assumptions about my world view as your article, “Same sex unions will save institution of marriage” (August 7) generalises about several groups and their stance on the institution of marriage.

SOME R800000 for a vehicle is normal for greedy ANC deployees. The poor are forgotten and ignored while tax money is wasted. Beware ANC, voters are tired of this.

THE appointment of Zanoxolo Wayile as the executive mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay by the ANC in November 2009 will prove to be the best decision ever.

REGARDING the open letter to Kobus Gerber (“Views lodged in apartheid past”, August 7), firstly, Gerber did not represent the “so-called” Ratepayers Association of NMBM.

TO those idiots who robbed Gardmed paramedics, may you rot in hell. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I READ with interest the article, “Shortage of interpreters hampering court system” (August 6). I would like to share my frustrating experience.

EACH year, we utilise Women’s Month as a platform to focus the attention of the nation on issues of women empowerment and gender equality. What is key must be the fight against patriarchy in our society.

WITH reference to the letter from Linda Muller (“Make sure car properly locked”, August 7), there is a simple way of not falling victim to the car remote scam. Just lock the car with the remote and walk away.

SWARTKOPS residents have been wondering for some time what the uncompleted building is that has just been standing at Tiger Bay for the last three years. The second phase (external completion of the main building and the amphitheatre) has been standing for just more than a year.

STALIN once called economics “the dismal science” because no matter what he wanted to do, there was only so much money and never enough for everything.

THERE was an article in The Herald last month concerning the spike in vehicle thefts in the Bay (“Bay sees spike in vehicle thefts”, June 15).

EVERY year at this time, we remind ourselves of the terrible problem of violence and abuse against women and children that afflicts our country.

EARLY on Monday July 30 we proceeded to SARS for annual tax return purposes. On arrival in Chapel Street we were met with total traffic mayhem - rather daunting for an elderly couple, what with most of the parking bays cordoned off and negotiating numerous manoeuvring large trucks in an already narrow, congested street.

THE condition of the cemetery in Motherwell, Port Elizabeth leaves much to be desired. It also makes a mockery of the reverence with which the Xhosa nation holds their dead.

ON Thursday last week I attended The Herald/NMMU Community Dialogue at the Feather Market Centre. I would like Local Government MEC Mlibo Mlibo Qoboshiyane to answer two questions:

CLERICS of all religious faiths are invited to submit contributions of about 300 words to “Pastoring the City”. This is your space to share thoughts on pertinent, spiritual and community issues of relevance in our society. Please e-mail: [email protected] and include a head and shoulders picture.
