Keeping it brief

More than 30 000 police officers are being recruited and trained specifically for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. This is part of South Africa’s Security Master Plan for 2010.

CO-OPERATIVES
GET TOGETHER AND DO BUSINESS

Are you unemployed and there are others like you? Put on a united front and the Department of Trade and Industry can help you to start your own business.

These touching words was part of an essay with which Mitchell Chuan, then a Grade 12 learner at Lushikishiki Senior Secondary School in Limpopo, won the 2005 Albinism Society of South Africa essay competition on albinism.
