# Solidariteit sê dis tyd vir Suid-Afrika om rasgebaseerde beleidsmaatreëls te skrap – nie omdat Amerika dit vereis nie, maar omdat dit die regte ding is om te doen. Amerika het nuwe visumbeperkings aangekondig teen mense wat rasgebaseerde diskriminasie bevorder, geweld teen Afrikaners en ander minderheidsgroepe aanhits of onteiening sonder vergoeding moontlik maak.

# President Cyril Ramaphosa het die Wetsontwerp op die Staatsdienskommissie as wet bekragtig. Dit versterk die rol van die Staatsdienskommissie om grondwetlike waardes, professionele etiek en doeltreffende staatsadministrasie te bevorder. Dit laat die kommissie toe om as ʼn onafhanklike en onpartydige grondwetlike liggaam op te tree, met die doel om sy doeltreffendheid in die Staatsdiens […]
# Solidarity says it’s time for South Africa to phase out its race-based policies, not because the US demands it, but because it’s the right thing to do.
