REFILE-South African ANC leadership battle overshadows policy debate:<\/strong> <\/p>\n

JOHANNESBURG, June 29 South Africa's ruling ANC meets this week to debate the future of a country mired in recession, corruption and political deadlock, but proceedings may be overshadowed by a power struggle between rivals seeking to succeed President Jacob Zuma. Critics charge that under Zuma, the ANC idealism and ethics epitomised by former president Nelson Mandela have been replaced by a relentless scramble for power, dividing the party and tarnishing the reputation of the post-apartheid “Rainbow Nation”.<\/p>\n

The South African Department of Basic Education has welcomed the judgment handed down in the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg that public schools cannot promote just one religion. “This ruling is consistent with the department's own policy informed by South African Schools Act and the Constitution that no one religion should be promoted above another,” the department said here Wednesday, adding that it would study the judgment in detail.<\/p>\n

The Higher dependency ratio is straining the ability of many South African households to save, amid rising unemployment and the cost of living, Barclays Africa chief executive Maria Ramos said yesterday. Speaking at the launch of national savings month in Johannesburg, Ramos said, as at the end of June last year, the National Credit Regulator estimated that about 40percent of the 24.08 million credit consumers in South Africa had impaired credit records.<\/p>\n

.com | Ruling expected on Masuku hate speech charge:<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The High Court in Johannesburg is on Thursday expected to rule in the hate speech case against the Congress of South African Trade Unions' Bongani Masuku.

Present crisis, past ghosts:<\/strong> <\/p>\n

As the nation is sucked into national crisis after national crisis, the small everyday suffering of ordinary people in their pursuit of justice and equality remain forgotten. The inquest into the death of Ahmed Timol, an anti apartheid activist, which began at the South Gauteng High Court reveals old wounds.<\/p>\n

South African Youth Fed Up With Formal Politics:<\/strong> <\/p>\n

As in the United States and many other countries, the rate of participation of those aged fifteen to twenty-five in South African politics is disappointing.
