Meeting between various political parties in KZN  promotes  peace and tolerance ahead of the Local Government Elections 

Government has come out strongly condemning the fatal chaos which resulted from Spring Day festivities on Tuesday.  What was meant to be a joyful celebration on the 1st of September descended into turmoil as youths lined up the streets, hurling buckets of water at motorists and passersby.  This turned fatal in Cullinan, east of Pretoria, where 21-year-old Tshepang Nyathi was stabbed to death after an argument broke out when his group splashed water on a 53-year-old man. Some commentators have since called for stronger enforcement of municipal bylaws while most have questioned the moral fabric of the country's young people. For an in-depth look into this for our Sunday discussion, we are now joined on the line by social commentator, Donovan E. Williams together with Dr Bongane Mzinyane, Lecturer in Social Work at the University of KwaZulu-Natal
