COrruptION has no place in South Africa and government is calling on all citizens to act decisively to end dishonest and fraudulent conduct.

Fighting corruption is everyone’s business

Corruption has taken centre stage in South Africa over the last

few months in the wake of allegations of state capture and corruption scandals from private sector.

The allegations created a negative outlook for the country, especially with in-vestors.

In his State of the Nation Address President Ramapho-sa said “we must fight cor-ruption, fraud and collusion in the private sector with the same purpose and intensity”.

“We must remember that every time someone receives a bribe there is someone who is prepared to pay it. We will make sure that we deal with

both in an effective manner.”However government can-

not fight corruption alone and is committed to rooting out corruption in all forms in the private and public sector while calling on all citizens to play their part.

Corruption is the abuse of public resources or public power for personal gain.

While the police and other arms of government are at the forefront in the fight against corruption, ordinary South Africans have their own role to play.

Several ongoing investiga-tions and a number of arrests show that government wants

Nelson Mandela

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that

respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

ʼn Dag in dié maand is opsy gesit om die aanbreek van vryheid en demokra-

sie te vier, sowel as die sukses wat Suid-Afrikaners behaal het om weg te breek van haat- draendheid, verdeeldheid en pynlike gebeure in ons geskie-denis om saam ʼn gemeenskap-like toekoms te bou.

Vuk’uzenzele kyk na die sin-volheid van hierdie dag en wat dit vir ons, as Suid-Afrikaners, beteken.

Suid-Afrika het op 27 April 1994, sy eerste nie-rassige ver-kiesings gehad. ʼn Nuwe rege-ring is onder die leierskap van President Nelson Mandela ver-kies. Deur die jare is heelwat vordering gemaak, maar daar moet nog meer gedoen word om ons land te verbeter en die lewens van alle Suid-Afrikaners ten goede te verander.

Gedurende April word daar nie net nagedink oor hoe ver ons as ʼn land gevorder het nie, maar ons maak ook van die geleent- heid gebruik om Suid-Afrika se helde en heldinne met Nasio-nale Ordes te vereer. Dit is die hoogste toekennings waarmee ʼn land, deur sy President, sy burgers en gesiene buitelan-ders, bekroon.

Die Grondwet van Suid-Afrika Die Grondwet is ingevolge Hoof-stuk 5 van die tussentydse Grond-wet (Wet 200 van 1993) opgestel en is op 8 Mei 1996 deur die Nasiona-

le Vergadering aanvaar. Dit is op 10 Desember 1996 as wet aanvaar.

Ons nasionale simbole Suid-Afrika is uniek in die sin dat ons, ons diversiteit deur ons nasionale simbole en vlag, sowel as ons volkslied en die wapenskild kan vier.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse vlag is uniek. Dit is deur die voormalige Suid-Afrikaanse staatsheraldikus, Fred Bronwell, ontwerp en vir die eerste keer op 27 April 1994 in gebruik geneem.

Die kleure van die vlag het geen spesifieke betekenis nie en geen universele simbolisme behoort dus aan hierdie kleure toegedig te word nie.

Die 'V' op die vlag simboliseer die verskillende elemente van Suid-Afrika wat bymekaar kom en die pad wat ons saam vorentoe aanpak.

Laat die vlag wapperWanneer die vlag vertikaal teen 'n muur vertoon word, behoort die rooi band aan die linkerkant van die toeskouer te wees, met die vlagpaalkant of die koordsoom aan die bokant.

Wanneer dit horisontaal vertoon word, moet die vlagpaalkant aan die linkerkant van die toeskouer en die rooi band aan die bokant wees. Wanneer die vlag langs of agter die spreker by ʼn vergade-ring vertoon word, moet dit aan die spreker se regterkant geplaas word. Wanneer dit elders in die vergaderplek geplaas word, moet

dit regs van die gehoor wees.

Die nasionale wapenskild Die nasionale wapenskild, wat ook bekend staan as die staats- embleem, is die hoogste visuele simbool van die staat.

Die wapenskild is ʼn sentrale deel van die land se groot seël. 'n Dokument wat met die groot seël gestempel is, het volkome gesag, want dit beteken dat dit deur die President van Suid-Afrika, goed-gekeur is.

Suid-Afrika se wapenskild is in 2000 op Vryheidsdag bekendge-stel. Die elemente daarop is op so ʼn wyse gerangskik dat dit stabili-teit en statigheid verteenwoordig. Die slagspreuk op die wapenskild, “!ke e: /xarra //ke”, is in die Khoisantaal geskryf en beteken letterlik dat diverse mense ver-enig.

Die volkslied Ons volkslied is uniek, want dit word in vier tale gesing.

Die volkslied is in 1997 be-kendgestel. Dit is ʼn verkorte, gekombineerde weergawe van twee liedere, naamlik ‘Nkosi Si-kelel’ iAfrika’ en ‘Die Stem van Suid-Afrika’, wat tussen 1994 en 1997 gesing is.

Ons nasionale simbole is:• Nasionaledier:spring-

bok• Nasionaleblom:konings-

protea• Nasionaleboom:opreg-

tegeelhout• Nasionalevoël:blou-

kraanvoël• Nasionalevis:galjoen

Vuk’uzenzeleALGEMEEN

Volkslied, vlag, ordes, wapenskild en simbole vier diversiteit BAIE vAN DIE vryhede wat Suid-Afrikaners geniet, insluitend dat alle burgers wat 18 jaar of ouer is kan stem, is met bloed en sweet gewen. Ons vier dit elke jaar in April.

April is Vryheidsmaand in Suid-Afrika.
