Some people have been saying lately that history will repeat itself exactly. They think what happened before will happen today in the same way.
This idea is wrong. That kind of repetition never happens. Many wise thinkers, from Heraclitus to Marx to Santana to O'Neill—plus African proverbs—tell us something different about history.
These sources teach us that human questions stay the same everywhere, but past events come back in new forms as present and future events. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 1:9 that "there is no new thing under the sun."
People who learn nothing from history must go through it again - either as tragedy or comedy. Humans change and adapt as their surroundings change. You can never step into the same river...
AfriForum leader Kallie Kriel has responded to President Cyril Ramaphosa's claim that groups like Solidarity are making the country less united by going to see the Trump team in America.
Ramaphosa said at an education meeting in Gauteng that these groups are not helping build the nation but are instead creating divisions by asking other countries to fix South African problems.
Kriel explained that they went to the White House because the South African government would not listen to their worries. He blamed Ramaphosa and ANC chiefs for causing division through laws about landtaking and the Bela Act.
He stated that Ramaphosa signed the Bela Act, which he called anti-Afrikaans and harmful to Afrikaans-speaking groups. Kriel also pointed...
The President wants the police to make roads safer. He spoke at the Mkushi Academy police graduation. Road deaths have gone up by 93% since last year. Last year, 2,104 people died on roads. This year, 4,069 people died.

New computer tools matter for good police work. The government plans to add more tech systems for...
The High Court has stopped the CCC party from removing Senator Tshabangu from Parliament. This stay will remain in place until his case about being kicked out of the party is heard.
Senator Tshabangu asked the High Court for help. He named his party, the head of Parliament, and the Senate leader in his case.
His lawyers brought two matters to court. The first stops the CCC from acting against him. The second asks the court to make a statement about his rights.
Judge Mary Zimba-Dube wrote down a promise from the CCC. The party said it would not try to remove him or hurt his main court case. The Parliament head's lawyers agreed to this.
For the second matter, those named in the case must send their papers by March 4. Senator Tshabangu...

The High Court plans to hear Senator Sengezo Tshabangu's case on March 13. He is fighting to be kicked out of CCC. Professor Welshman Ncube's group removed him for breaking party rules.
Yesterday, Judge President Mary Dube met with lawyers from both sides. They set dates for when papers must be given to the court before the hearing starts. The case needs fast action because it asks who can make choices under CCC party rules.
Senator Tshabangu says Article 6 of the party rules set time limits for party leaders that ended May 27, 2024. After this date, he claims no group named in Article 6 had the right power to form a team to judge him, including Professor Ncube.
The Senator argues the team that judged him and the person picked to...
PSMAS has started a new health check program. The program gives free medical tests to PSMAS members from Tuesday through Friday.
These tests look for early signs of long-term health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer. Finding these problems early makes them easier to treat.
The program checks men aged 45 and older for prostate cancer. Women aged 40 and older can have tests for breast cancer and cervical cancer.
Minister Monica Mutsvangwa says all women should take these tests. Many times, doctors find cancer when it has become hard to treat. Regular checks help doctors find problems when they can still fix them.
The government has bought medical equipment for these tests, which helps more women across the...
