&lt;p&gt;Just after midnight, in a motorcade from Mangaung in the Free State, the ANC Centenary Torch had arrived in &lt;strong&gt;Beaufort West&lt;/strong&gt; in the Karoo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Officially, it will be handed over by the &lt;strong&gt;ANC Secretary General, Gwede Mantashe&lt;/strong&gt; to the Provincial Leadership.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is well documented that the tipping point, for the turn to armed struggle, was provided by the Sharpeville massacre of 1960, when protests against the pass laws were met with brute force by the police. The government then declared the State of emergency, detained thousands without trial and banned both the ANC and the PAC.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When the African National Congress identified education as one of the five priorities, I felt that this was a call to parents to fully take charge of their child&amp;rsquo;s development and upbringing. It is that time of the year when parents are eager to know the performance of their children. Matric results are taken as the most important results in a life of a student.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Protection of State Information Bill has traversed a long path to reach this point. It is a product of efforts of successive Ministers who led the state security portfolio. These were Ministers Joe Nhlanhla, Lindiwe Sisulu and Ronnie Kasrils.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is refreshing to be able to interact with the people of KwaZulu-Natal of communication which has just been re-activated by the ANC. This platform is proof that, the ANC as a carrying and progressive organization believes in an on-going interaction with the people of this country.&lt;/p&gt;
