What has become of South Africa.

-

It was very clear in the dark days of apartheid that we wanted a different and better society. One in which all people would be treated with dignity and respect; inequality would be eradicated or at least, seriously diminished; everyone would feel that they have equal opportunities to achieve their potential; everyone would feel safe, and enjoy the beauty of our country.
What we have seen since we have become a democracy has been almost the opposite.

I was one of those optimistic people who have always held out high hopes for our country, and in many ways I still do. But it is becoming more and more difficult to remain positive when you are surrounded by so much negativity.

Everyday there's a case of a father who killed his child(ren). A young girl who is no where to be found. Is this the South Africa we were fighting for?
Where did we go wrong as a country? Is the justice system of South Africa becoming worse and worse? What needs to be done? When will all this end?
We need to have a way to stop all this madness that is happening.  We need to protect our children and women.
It is up to us as men of South Africa to stand up and end this madness.  This is not the South Africa I want to grow up in. This is not South Africa I want my children to live in, where they will leave in fear.

She is the founder of Help Matriculate Centre (HMC) and Masedi Education projects. Phahlamohlaka has always had so much passion for education which today she stands to advocate for, through the organisation HMC she has managed to help thousands of learners apply for tertiary education. She did her first degree at the Witwatersrand University, which she says she did not like doing. "The time I finished my matric, mining was one of the sectors which had many jobs, and studying geology made sense to me at that time," said Phaahlamohlaka. She says she wanted to help matriculants, not to choose courses they do not want and also to help those who do not have finances to pay for application and registration fees. A block of classrooms that Phahlamohlaka is working on.
