Chris Erasmus 2021-12-02 Van tyd tot tyd lees ek graag die politieke geskrifte wat verkyn, maar raak gou verveeld om oor dieselfde gesanik en tema te lees. Die mens is veronderstel om die intelligenste skepsel te wees. Hoe ouer ek word, hoe meer begin ek dit te betwyfel. My beske

Omikron: Durf ’n mens met op vakansie gaan?

Annora Eksteen 2021-12-02 Entstofmandate moet werklik dringende aandag geniet nou regoor die aardbol - sodat Omikron hokgeslaan kan word. Ek stem saam dat vlugte met die nodige maatreëls soos genoem in bostaande artikel nie gekanselleer moes gewees het nie. Om grense te sluit is
