Trump’s ban on immigration based on religion is similar to when the US refused entry to Jewish refugees fleeing from Hitler’s Nazi Germany and returned them to the gas chambers and Europe’s death camps. Muslims have contributed knowledge in all fields and are respected doctors and scientists internationally. Respect people for what they are, and not for personal beliefs.

Normal data and SMS costs will apply – Editor the car guard said to me give R7 and I will tell the officers that you tried to pay. When I came back to my car they had issued a R100 fine and of course the car guard was nowhere to be seen. It happened again to me and I saw an officer and mentioned to her about this.

Professor Alex van den Heever recommended that a social grant should be given to students who fall pregnant. I wonder if the parents work so hard to educate their children so that they can have a better life?

Deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa: you signed into law R20 per hour minimum wage. Now can you please sign into law the minimum requirements for an employee to earn this amount. Oh, whilst you’re at it, consider pensioners as well. They also need a living allowance. David Naidoo.
