Teaching our children to have an attitude of gratitude. – MyPR.co.za

Teaching our children to have an attitude of gratitude.: Have you noticed that we may be bringing up a generation of young people who feel so entitled to gifts, devices and whatever they desire, that gratitude is becoming a lost art? How often do you feel uncomfortable in choosing gifts for yours or other’s children because you know that the more affordable, ‘little’ things may result in a forced ‘thank-you’, or worse, a temper tantrum? “The truth of the matter is that gratitude is a LEARNED behaviour that is our responsibility, as parents, to ensure that we …

800% increase in losses shows that things are going from bad to worse

Letters to the Editor

Dear MyPE The Democratic Alliance (DA) notes with concern the R20.7 billion loss Eskom has posted for the 2018/19 financial year. This follows from a loss of R2.3 billion in the 2017/2018 financial year. This pattern outlines an increase in financial losses of about 800% from the previous financial year. This is in no doubt the result of years of corruption and mismanagement, leaving Eskom in its worst financial state in history. Other worrying trends include the increase in municipal debt from R13.6 billion to R19.9 billion. Clearly, things are going from bad to worse at the …
