* History book angers Buthelezi
The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) is arranging a series of protests to
end the use of a Grade 12 history book it describes as "biased
propaganda... poisoning the minds of children".
National protest organiser Albert Mncwango said on Tuesday that the
book, titled In Search Of History, is being used by schools throughout
South Africa.
"The IFP is protesting (about) biased propaganda masquerading as Grade
12 history," he said in a statement.
"This Grade 12 history book, being used in some schools as a
prescribed work, tells blatant lies and deliberately distorts facts
about the role of the IFP and the contribution made by its leader,
Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi," he added.
He said protests would start in KwaZulu-Natal on Wednesday.
"We cannot allow our children to be poisoned with this... abominable
propaganda and the deliberate twisting of history to distort who did
what, when and where."
He stressed that schools should be places of learning and "not
propaganda incubators where learners are brainwashed".
Two protests are scheduled to take place on Wednesday in Empangeni and
Port Shepstone where a memorandum is expected to be handed over to
representatives of education minister Naledi Pandor. - Sapa
Tokyo - A Japanese man who stole cash from a store by brandishing a
knife turned himself in only five minutes later, saying he wanted to
be punished, police said on Monday.
Ginji Aoi, a 23-year-old unemployed man, threatened a convenience
store worker with an 18-centimetre (seven-inch) knife on Sunday in
Osaka and snatched 79 000 yen ($770) from him, police said.
But as soon as he was out the door, he headed straight to a nearby
police station, an officer at the station said.
"He told police, 'I want to be caught because I did something bad,'"
the officer said.
"He said he stole because he didn't have money, but he seems to have
reflected immediately after his act," he added.
Aoi is in custody as police consider whether to press charges, he
said. - Sapa-AFP
Mense ek weet nie wat die gemiddelde ouderdom op die NG is nie, maar ek glo
daar is 'n paar manne hier wat soos ek nog worstel met 'n huis en kar
paaiment. Ek sien dat daar 'n voorspelling is dat die petrol prys voor die
einde van die jaar die R20 per liter gaan haal. Het julle 'n idee hoe dit
die rente koers en die voedselpryse gaan affekteer.
Ek is regtig bekommerd dat die land binnekort in sy moer in gaan wees. Ek
het vandag my bakkie verkoop. Die ou by die motor hawe se die manne met die
4x4's staan omtrent tou om van die goed ontslae te raak, en vir hulle 'n
klein karretje te koop.
Ek onthou so paar maande gelede was ek op die punt om vir my 'n 4x4 te koop.
Ek moet se ek is baie bly dit het nie so uitgewerk nie. Watter planne het
julle manne indien sake in die land verder gaan versleg - behalwe om OZ toe
te gaan natuurlik
Daar is geen dood.
Wat lewe heet, is net die op en neer
as ons klein skuitjie al maar daal en klim;
en wat ons sterwe noem, is niks nie meer
as ons verdwyning op die gindse kim.
Daar is geen dood.
Ons wat van lae strand dit sien, en speur
hoedat hul vaart die die afstand steeds vergroot-
ons kan nie sien wat anderkant gebeur,
en daarom noem ons die verdwyning: dood.
Daar is geen dood.
Ons lae standpunt is te laag en ver,
en hul ontseil ons sfeer van ruimte en tyd,
daarom word eindelik ons blik versper
wanneer hul roerpen stuur in die ewigheid.
