Budget Speech build-up: Economists suggest areas to cut ahead of budget

She also subscribes to Jack Welch’s mission statement that says “unless we control our destiny, someone else will”.

University of the North West launches medical school

Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has apologised to Bergview College principal, Jaco Pieterse, for falsely identifying him as a suspect in the alleged rape of a child that attends the school in Matatiele in the Eastern Cape.
