298 out of the 1 944 councillors in KwaZulu-Natal -most of whom are ANC deployees at struggling municipalities- can't read or write, with 33% of them asking the government to teach them.
It’s unclear if the ANC govt will buy them bulk degrees from Fort Hare University.

My wife, Lt. Col. Doris K. Winter (USAF, Ret.) died last night after a lengthy battle with the effects of stroke. She was 76 and native of Augusta, GA, who joined the AF in 1968 after college, one of the first women AF allowed to become staff officers. We were married 28 years.

These are the lights at the Hilton interchange. We've requested Msunduzi and SANRAL to repair them for more than a year.
Dololo!
So we did it ourselves.
N3 between Hilton and Peter Brown will soon get proper lighting including new lighting around the Hilton interchange
