cdes, name calling and playing 'been there done that' will not promote unity iether. we need to define principles that would bind the student community and the youth in general in persuit of the better life for all. is it still worth it cdes to contest bitterly and coldly the gvt tenders to deliver substandard services, or should we be taking a stand that gvt must take responsibility of its mandate and deliver directly on actual delivarables? should tenders not be limited to materials, expertise, touchables that facilitate actual work being the product to the people? it does not make sense in an economy that is heavily dependent on the strength of the dollar that gvt must pay more than is necessary by creating wealth for the tenderpreneurs while the masses that need the money, services and improvement of their existance and the jobs remain spectators in the development of their dismay. eg. for houses, let the gvt provide the manpower (EPWP)per sector[ ward or region] and tender for the supply of cement, bricks, frames, etc; which are bought through the normal gvt procurement processes- this should limit the wasteful and fruitless expenditure on fronted companies, buy-to-profitably-sell enterpreneurs, sellers of materials they have no ownership of, etc. students focussing on the programs of, say free education upto junior degree, ensuring that effective learning and teaching happens at school level, necessary paraphanelia are available for labs; libraries; workshops; etc where they are needed. change gear, step up crescendo and defend the right to education of our beloved nation. i pause...
