COLUMN: "Weekly Commentary from .. " Joe Public: Tuesday, 23 December 2008
We, at SocietyNews.co.za, believe that the voices of the people are silent in our new democracy. And that in an open society based on equality, this is unfair. It is therefore the agenda of this online news source to provide, an alternative platform for freedom of expression as guaranteed in our Bill of Rights. If your have an interest in the capital city and can sustain commentary, we invite you to send us a column proposal in your field of interest. SocietyNews.co.za is above all a community project. Space is limited! E-mails to info@societynews.co.za, no attachments please! [Read More]

SocietyNews.co.za is the voice of the people. And because we are not tied to any religion or political party we will not have to obey any party line in our editorials.

We are sure to tackle anything or anyone made in the capital. We will say it no matter how controversial and unpopular it may be. Watch this space. [Read More]
