Life affecting issues

South African government has introduced e-learning to help grade 12 learners as well as university students to keep up to date with their studies. E-learning is learning conducted via electronic media, typically on the internet. This form of learning get most parents worried about the cost of data. Though most institutions offer to pay for the access to the information, the problem remains that some people cannot affordtoget data to be able to do researches for their assignments. The issue of data is not the only problem but also the issue of  not having internet access. Most students live in rural areas where they have to go to town or malls to get internet access. This problem gives me a real concern because these students will remain behind in their studies. Lets hear your views on this matter.

Police minister, Bheki Cele announced that there has been 87 000 cases of gender based violence in South Africa during the first week of the national lockdown.  This shows  that certain people still see others as objects. How loud can one cry to be heard? This country has been facing this issue for quite some time now and it seems to be growing faster. These cases are living a concern for the victims because they will be forced to stay with their abusers during this lockdown.  If   you are at risk of abuse or know someone who is Report it to the GBV Command Centre: 0800 428 428 or *120*786#.  This issue affects us all. We need to work together in fighting it.

South Africa is in lockdown and only a few people are allowed to work. This has not only have bad impact to the people, others are benefiting from it. Many families are struggling to put food on the table, while they have that one person who works but spend all the money on alcohol. These kind of people can be really abusive when under the influence of alcohol. The government has instructed against the selling of  a number of things during this twenty-one days lockdown  and alcohol is one of them. This means that more people can spend their money on important things and more people will not go to bed hungry. However, spending more time with family will open the eyes of the abusers and make them realize how much they are loved. Let us hope this lockdown would reduce the consumption of alcohol in South African especially on the youth.
