From the Editor Women of South Africa – My Story Editor’s Letter We are back! Finally! any publication depends on advertising and this <strong>was</strong> hard to come by. i know we have not published for months, but we are back. We are here. and we intend to stay here. let us dive into the positive stuff immediately: Thapelo is on SKa again. Thapelo has selected one piece of all the interesting aspect of SKa: The Super computer to drive it all. Where is it going to sit? Who will programme it? What exactly is it going to do? These are very hard questions and thanks to the SKa staff, i think Thapelo can present a fair view on this. lerato has an interesting piece on reading. This is so critical in today’s environment. You have to be able to consume tremendous amounts of text and make sense of it all. This article can get you going in terms of reading. This issue is being distributed at the Department of Higher Education and Training’s conference. You will find a 4-page pull-out on the conference, edited by Fikile. Fikile is, by the way, our first employee! We are very proud of this fact. We are moving. We have three new writers with us: Fikile, Ray and Sifiso. Fikile is looking into the never-ending story: languages. This is a recurring topic and i think we all look forward to the next “chapter” in this tale. There are so many things impacting us and language is of course one of the most important factors in our lives. 4 >>>Hola MaHigH-ScHool Ray is looking at a remarkable person. Michelle obama. She is a person in her own right, not just a shadow of Barak. Ray has done a wonderful job on a difficult topic… and Michelle is a rather interesting personality. Sifiso has dived into the world of fashion. Male fashion this time. He is in grade 10 and one of our youngest writers and he has a lot of opinions about this topic. This is an article i had great joy in reading. i hope you have too. Sifiso is an upcoming star (well, all our writers are, really), but here is a person to look out for. Rofhiwa takes us to North Korea this time. This is a country of which there are more rumours and lies than facts. North Korea might be able to start a nuclear war in the world but is it all true? an article to read: My first credit card by Rose. Yes, you will soon be there, but how are you going to manage that? … and then i could not resist it. There is a nice little “challenge” in terms of logical thinking. Enjoy and don’t despair. a math teacher gave up on one of them. of course the quotes are there! i love doing those. Enjoy the read!
