LETTER: Not all strikers’ fault
In a country in which the private sector sees nothing wrong in shedding thousands of jobs, it is simply dishonest to lay all the blame on strikes
LETTER: Let free market rule on power price
Any privatisation in the energy sector will reduce the financial pressures felt by the state
LETTER: Zille’s cynical tactics
Resolving the deep problems at Metrorail requires unity across political lines, not cynical and cheap politicking by the premier and DA leader
LETTER: Mining no tea party
We should be more focused on doing the job, bringing back pride to our industry and stop creating endless functionsLETTER: Dreadful ANC services

Opinion Poll
Should President Jacob Zuma step down following the public protector's Nkandla report?
The Third Umpire
Co-operative Governance Minister Pravin Gordhan, who is surely starting to wonder what he has let himself in for after it emerged that municipal debt to Eskom has trebled in nine months. A “dire crisis” indeed.
Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa. Relocating rhinos from Kruger Park to areas with lower poaching risk, and pursuing poachers across national borders, are radical steps, but ones that are clearly necessary.
Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba has a point about the airlines waking up to the new immigration regulations too late, but is being right worth cutting R10bn from the country’s GDP? This is not the time to be stubborn.
