Among the school’s top achievers was Naledi Mchunu, who not only passed with four distinctions but has also earned a prestigious invitation to the MEC’s Breakfast for the Class of 2024 Excellence and Awards. Her hard work and dedication have become a beacon of inspiration for other learners, with Principal Mthembu urging the next classes to follow in Naledi’s footsteps. “Her achievements demonstrate that with focus, determination, and the right support, every student can reach for greatness,” said Mthembu.

The MK is a paramilitary wing of the ANC founded by former president Nelson Mandela on the 16th of December 1961 with a mission to fight against the South African government during apartheid.  The Durban High Court has made a ruling after the ANC filled claims of “copyright infingement” against the MK. This legal battle has concluded in the Durban High Court after both parties waited for weeks. The African Nation Congress(ANC) has since lost another legal battle against the MK party after the loss in Johannesburg Electoral Court  when it was found that there was nothing irregular about the party and can contest for the upcoming elections. this all happend after an objection made that Mr Zuma was not eligible to be on the ballot paper because he was convicted for more than 12 months by the constitutional court. After ruling the is nothing irregular about the party the MK party has since asked the IEC that Mr Zuma’s face be on the ballot paper.  Let us hear your opinion was the judge right by ruling n the favor of uMkhonto Wesizwe??….

Calls to Support Local E-Hailing Services

SANTACO officials are calling on the South African government and commuters to support local e-hailing services, namely: Teksi Ride, Shuma and Yo!Taxi. Speaking at the SANTACO KZN Second Annual Business Summit held at the Durban International Convention Centre, Mr. Sizwe Mvubu, Chairperson for the Metre Taxis within the organisation said it is difficult for them to compete with foreign e-hailing services due to financial constraints.  “Foreign e-hailing services are subsidised by their governments, hence they have many promotions and specials which we can’t afford. Secondly, we are regulated by our government in terms of the minimum fee we can charge which isn’t the case with the foreign services. The commuters will obviously choose the cheaper options” he said.  Deputy Chairperson for Metre Taxis in the eThekwini Metro, Mr. Vijay Mothilal echoed the same sentiments. Watch the full interview below:  @hlokomela_kzn SANTACO Meter Taxis officials give us an insight into their future plans. They also discuss their different e-hailing services. #TeksiRide #SANTACOKZN #WeAreBuilding #Siyakha #Welcome2TheFuture #SANTACOcares #TransportMonth2023 #VoiceOnTheMoveRadio #HlokomelaKZN #MeterTaxi #YoTaxi #Hlokomela ♬ Female Vo / Impressive / EDM Instrument Loop 2(1247532) – Leano
