Admire Kurt Vonnegut – but forget his politics
Kurt Vonnegut anticipated his death in an article in 1972: “I don’t console myself with the idea that my descendants and my books and all that will live on. Anybody with any sense knows that the whole solar system will go up like a celluloid collar.” His talent as a novelist was to tell of bleakness with mordant humour.

Le Pen in derde plek volgens peiling
Jean-Marie Le Pen
In vorige verkiesings moes Franse op die vasteland eers wag vir die uitslae in hul verre departemente vanweë die tydsverskil.
Dit sal ook die eerste keer wees dat elektroniese toerusting in sekere gebiede vir die verkiesing gebruik word. Die besluit is nie sonder omstredenheid aanvaar nie. Kritici vrees dat die uitslag daardeur gemanipuleer mag word.

Etnisiteit, ras en mag
Dis seker ’n gemeenplaas om te sê dat die bepalende faktor in die Suid-Afrikaanse politiek etnisiteit en veral ras is. Die ANC het die begrip “reënboognasie” gemunt, juis om sy naakte rassepolitiek te verdoesel en daarom het dit geen inhoud nie.
Histories het byna alle politieke konflik, mededinging en spanning in die land na gelang van etniese en taalverdelings verloop. Die belangrikste hiervan was natuurlik die Boer-Britstryd. Hoewel buitelandse ontleders die apartheidsproblematiek in rasseterme ontleed het, het ras eintlik eers ná 1994 met die ANC-oorname ’n sterk faktor geword.

‘Are we beasts?’
‘Are we beasts?’ asked Winston Churchill one night in 1943 after watching a film of the bomb damage done to Germany. The question was probably rhetorical: Churchill had authorised the bombing campaign from its puny beginnings in 1940 to the massive Combined Offensive launched with the American air forces in the last two years of war. His language was always intemperate and flowery – ‘extermination’, ‘annihilation’ and so on. Did he mean it? Did the British military machine set out deliberately in the Second World War on a path to the genocide of the German people?

Swart ekonomiese bemagtiging is ‘nie diskriminerend nie’
Elizbeth Thabethe
As swart ekonomiese bemagtiging (SEB) korrek toegepas word, kom dit nie neer op diskriminasie teen blankes nie. Dit is die mening van JD Squire Mahlangu, verbonde aan die Staatsdienskommissie. Hy het gister ’n internasionale mensekragkonferensie, gerig op die openbare sektor, in Kaapstad toegespreek.
Die konferensie is deur die Staatsdienskommissie aangebied en het sowat 250 afgevaardigdes van oor die hele wêreld getrek. Volgens Mahlangu koester hy geen haat teenoor blankes nie. “Ek is lief vir witmense. Ek sê net dat ons die gebrek aan balans moet regstel.” Hy het verder voorgestel dat die staatsdiens blankes moet aanstel in poste wat vroeër deur swartes beklee is.
