- Description: Every day we see adverts in newspapers and magazines encouraging people to smoke cigarettes. But what these adverts don’t tell us, is that smoking cigarettes is very dangerous. Today there are 75% more smokers worldwide than there were 20 years ago. Doctors in America are very worried about the damage smoking can do to one’s health. They say that smoking is responsible for almost 2.5 million deaths every year. More and more children are starting to smoke cigarettes. Doctors say that millions of children under the age of 20 could die of smoking.

- Description: The 21 March is Sharpe- ville Day. On this day we remember what happened in 1960, when hundreds of people in townships all over South Africa marched on to police stations and burned their passes. In the morning of the 21 March 1960, thousands of people gathered outside the police station in the eastern Transvaal township of Sharpeville. They had been told that the police might announce changes in the pass law. At 1.15pm scuffle broke out outside the wire — fence of the police station. The police feared that the fence would collapse under the weight of the crowd. So they started to fire on the people. The people right in front immediately turned to flee, but could not get through the crush of people behind them. Sixty-nine people were killed and a further 180 wounded. Most of those killed were later found to have been shot in the back.

- Description: [From text] Landscape, for me, is Geography, for landscape is the focus of the four great traditions of my subject: spatial; area studies; man-land relationships; earth science (Pattison, 1964,1990). Hedd Wyn and Thomas Roberts, each in his own way, was a Geographer, for each was obviously a student of landscape. My own interest in Geography originated in the view from my bedroom window. I was lucky, Dad was a clergyman, and when he came bade from the army he accepted the parish of St. Peter's Glasbury, in the Wye valley of Wales. From my bedroom window I looked out across The Vicarage lawn, beyond the yew hedge and the orchard, to a series of mounds set in parkland. They were orderly, forming the outline of a rectangle, and when a group of archaeologists excavated the site they discovered that the mounds were the remains of the walls of an Iron Age fort (Savoury, 1955). Although I did not know it at the time, the landscape was already talking to me. , Inaugural Lecture delivered at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, 17 April 1991

- Description: On the night of the 8 March 1991, a thousand women braved the rain to march through the streets of Johannesburg. They chose this day for their protest march because the 8 March is International Women’s Day. The women marched to highlight the problem of violence against women. They said that women are not safe on the streets at night. Many women are not even safe in their own homes! The night they marched about 140 women were raped in South Africa between six and nine o’ clock. Many women were beaten and raped in their own homes, some were hurt by their own husbands or boyfriends. ‘We want to feel safe in our own homes, at work and in the streets. We demand an end to violence against women,’ Monique Marks of the ANC Women’s League said. Copies of the demands were sent to the Chief Magistrate of Johannesburg, the City Council and Health Department.

- Description: Two years ago in Lebowa there were no school textbooks. But between March 1986 and September 1989 the Lebowa Education Department paid out R98 million to booksellers for books and stationary. So where were the books? A recent enquiry into the Lebowa Education Department found out that people who worked for the Lebowa Education Department also owned bookshops. These shops received the biggest orders to supply schools with books. But the books never got to the schools. When the enquiry did a spot check, they found 300 000 new books lying unused in storerooms and schools!
