A Settlement is a "Place where people have come to live and have built homes." If the Ministry of Human Settlement is based on the proper meaning of Settlement as I have explained above and seeks only to improve lives and living conditions in places where people have come to live and builds them decent human-being homes with proper sanitation then I simply love it! South Africans do not deserve to live in match boxes. That's not exactly what we had in mind when we voted. Bandile Ndzishe

I really feel for Nkosazan Dlamini Zuma for the mess that was left for her at the Home Affairs! But I know she's good she will sort things out for us!

And I'm trully happpy that Trevor Manuel is still in the Presidency and has been given a highest position!

I heard that Baleka is paid R1.8 million a year to step down from her position as Deputy President and she still holds the position as Chairperson! Any insiders with info???

11 May 2009 08:29

Isn't the cabinet a bit too big people.I believe splitting up education was a great idea,even promoting the dude from sars was a cool idea.But there are too many portfolios which actually used to be departments in certain ministrie and could have continued as departments.i forsee too muc redtape.
It feels like Jiggaman needed to make sure all his people get a piece of the pie ( as pay back for their suport). As for sphiwe Nyanda hearding up communications,this does not bode well. Sphiwe's background is militatry and not necessarily ICT . I hope he is not going to be another Ivy in the making.

andy motshekga - the very same woman who called people witches and said u don't need a matric to be in politics - she needs basic education herself.

i was watching Barack Obama on tv(and i know u'll say i shouldn't compare blah blah) addressing a group of people and he said something very profounda and we can learn from that even us bloggers who can very emotional at times.

he said that not having the media is not an option for the democracy of USA, the media helps them to be transparent as a government, and keeps them on their toes, and that they should keep on writing what they write, he might not like some of the things they write but it's good for the democracy of America.

Obama knows this because he's not a comrade but an educated man, he knows how the media works unlike some other people who are always suing the media for doing their work.

There's nothing wrong with Zille's choices, she chooses people according to their work not because they are comrades! Why are some people referred to as comrades at this time?

I wish the government would stop forcing private companies to have a certain number of black people, women etc as they themselves are not following the same.

Lastly why are people still wasting their time by going to school because it has been proven in SA that you only need certain qualities not qualification to do a job. I wonder how many of you would agree to be operated on by the doctor who doesn't have qualifications but qualities of being a doctor.

The government is not focing anyone to hire us but it opens doors for us woman who priviously were seen as no good but to be in the kitchen and lay on our back and have babies.

extracts of Obama's 100 days in office speech

Former Vice President Dick Cheney couldn't make the dinner, Obama joked, because he was writing his memoir, 'How to shoot friends and interrogate people.'

It was a reference to Cheney's support of harsh interrogation and his accidental shooting of a hunting companion.

The president directly addressed Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who was in the audience.

'Michael for the last time, the Republican Party does not qualify for a bailout. Rush Limbaugh does not count as a troubled asset, I'm sorry,' said Obama, referring to recent economic steps of the White House and the conservative radio commentator's public criticism of the Republican party leader.

But Obama targeted his own miscues as well.
'No president in history has ever named three commerce secretaries this quickly"

Obama noted that he and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had been political rivals, but he assured the audience 'these days, we could not be closer.'
'In fact the second she got back from Mexico, she pulled me into a hug,' the president said, playing off the threat of a spreading swine flu virus that has targeted Mexico

Obama also turned serious and talked of the financially struggling media industry, praising journalists for holding government officials accountable.

'A government without newspapers, a government without a tough and vibrant media of all sorts is not an option for the United States of America,' he said.

'Finally, I believe that my next 100 days will be so successful that I will be able to complete them in 72 days. And on the 73rd day, I will rest,' he joked.

In a dig at the press, Obama said: 'We look for you for truth -- even if it's always an approximation.'

So what's going to happen to Baleka Mbete I heard she'll be going to Luthuli House. To do what there?

I believe it wasn't an easy decision to choose between Baleka & Kgalema. Baleka yes is an intelligent woman but also Kgalema also handled everything very well since he took over I also just like his character.

U shud rather carry a cooler and fill it with ice and keep on refilling it with ice at every garage, pack ur own chicken, frozen pies, fishfingers, burgers etc.. and enjoy when u get home, assuming there's a fridge to transfer them to when u get there. Thats wat i do mina, i travel smart, lol. I carry all the things u wudn't think of for easy living.

My mom & son r staying there so u can imagine. I have to go & c them every time i miss them. Nam i was born in CT but dont tell my mum to move to a city then u will fight & u will loose sana. Tsomo is my home no matter ndingahlala eSandton but inkaba yam iphayana. Both my parents r coming from there. Its nice to be with your family but the environment we living in is so bad man.

I remember the 1st time i saw Tsomo i was 8 & guess what? Its still the same even now....ndingumagogo ngoku.
