Tshwane mayoral candidate Randall Williams ‘doesn’t have answers to every problem’: Pretoria – The man poised to become the next mayor of Tshwane said he was “not a messiah coming with the golden book of recipes of solutions” for every problem in the trouble-torn metro.

Consumer Watch: Private schools refuse to refund ‘acceptance deposit’: Johannesburg – Private schools, insisting on non-refundable “acceptance fees” or deposits, which run into tens of thousands of rands, could be breaking the law and getting away with it, because most parents don’t challenge them or dare make waves. It’s become a gratifying income stream for some of the country’s best resourced and already expensive schools.
