We celebrate yet another Africa Day.
But what are we really celebrating?
The onslaught on Africa from former colonisers has not stopped.

Like what has...
WE have said it in the past, and will say it again, that there is indeed something depressing about politics, especially African politics and the politics of Africa.
It is the playground of superpowers.
We are a continent that has allowed the so-called big brothers to do...
THE return of the five-day learning week as schools reopened earlier this week was a development welcomed by both parents and learners and, of course, most teachers.
