Florist Yolanda eventually blossoms in education
One cannot help but wonder whether Yolanda Fourie knew in her matric year at the Transvalia High School what was lying ahead in her future. Did she ever while working as florist among the flowers, think about where she would blossom one day?

We are the here and now
On 16 June it is Youth Day, a day when we celebrate the spirit of our children. But we shouldn’t. We should mourn for them on account of us. The most tragic thing in this world is a child with prejudice. It is a repelling thought: a child with prejudice. How unspeakably sad is that? Even more so when you think that for every child that harbours…http://news.nwu.ac.za:8080/fires-damage-more-just-knysnas-infrastructure

Daar is ’n verskil tussen die lei van verandering en die blote bestuur daarvan.
