62% of BIRTH CERTIFICATES don't name the FATHER | Pali Lehohla

[@luthandi]

Thank you for this episode. One of the reason I stopped watching our main line TV channels (both public and private) is that they are no longer creating content which builds me as an audience and a citizen of the country. It’s so overtly modelled around corporations and not the nation. This episode is so informative, educational, enlightening, and refreshing. So much encouraging for our nation that we have people like your guest, ntate Lehohla.

This is awesome. I've also noticed that now we've now entered an era where policy is void of stats, facts and logic. It is now informed by populism and baseless narratives. I pray that people like Mr Pali Lehohla continue sounding the alarm. I've had enough of lazy policy making, it's costing us big time. Great interview.

[@Brafami]

In South Africa, one major issue is appointing people with no experience to leadership positions. Instead, we should ensure that those seeking leadership roles are experts in their respective fields. It's crucial to have leaders who are knowledgeable and articulate about the subject matter they represent, rather than just being focused on their history as freedom fighters. This approach will lead to more effective and encouraging leadership, as seen in the examples of the old man and Kadima, who have demonstrated expertise and personal growth. Unfortunately, the current political culture tends to prioritize pleasing comrades with little sense, rather than selecting competent individuals who can bring positive change to the country's situation, such as Eskom.

Ntate Pali Lehohla is a well of knowledge / wisdom and the ANC government should have worked closely with him in developing some of their policies. The only problem is that they were not going to let go of populist ideas for sensible well-informed policies. The contrast between the ANC approach to his stats and how the Chinese reacted to his report(s) shows why we are far from catching up to the rest of the developed world. Great interview!

@@ThabisoRatlou i believe the core of it its at the family level , we need to be intentional about the values we instil in our sons and daughters but most importantly what we model as parents.

[@jobesithole5590]

You're spot on Sindana. It all starts with families. What pains me the most is that in African society rubbish behavior has been normalized. Im turning 40 soon and have zero kids. Why ? Children are to be produced in marriage. Where is our pride as a people.

[@TheUpdatedCenter]

Great conversations I'm impressed Like the Shirts ,There’s immense potential for foreign investment from all over the world, but current policies, including racial biases, property rights issues, and the socialist leanings of the ANC, repel investors. But in my envisioned future, these barriers were torn down. South Africa saw an influx of foreign investment and a rapid decrease in unemployment. The country’s informal economy, especially the vibrant township entrepreneurial scene, showcases our resilience and potential.

Around 70 - 80% of children are fathered by about only 15% of men. Women are having kids with the same men who already have other kids they don't look after. Women too must make better choices in partners. Having children out of wedlock has been normalized, and these are the results.

I just want to congratulate Mashabela on bringing this one. I have an issue on the educational side of the story for the population. Roelf Meyer was on JJ Tabane not so long ago where he fully agreed about the impact of bantu education was the most brutal system apartheid could ever produce which will stay with our society for many many decades to come. Those of us who were lucjky to have parents who were able to take them abroad as the gentleman now we will never understand the impact of that policy that killed millions of black people for ever.. Any other thing could be resolved or forgotten but that education cancer is the most DANGEROUS ONE.

Leadership King David. ❤ I just giggle a little as he Chuckles on when he mentions the SA Government Officials! Clearly a lot of issues need to be addressed and corrected within that Space!. A question though if am following correctly here.! It is said that once the dad is added on the birth certificate of a child, their child :- they need to be present for literally everything the child needs to be administered for?

[@meshackmosolotsane8162]

Exactly.. our current system has given most of the guys more freedom. When traffic officers are having roadblocks checking for road fines, they road also check for maintenance as well.

[@kabelomasinga-ue9ln]

Also, if the father is on the birth certificate, it is likely that he is present and supportive. Therefore, it is an indication of that or at least the likelihood of presence and support.
