THE KDK REPORT: Above the River Nile

THE famed Nile River is located in north-eastern Africa where it flows into the Mediterranean Sea. Whether or not it’s the longest river in the world is up for debate but certainly, without reproach, it remains the most historically significant. Dividing Egypt in two, the Nile was quintessentially critical in the evolution of the Egyptian civilisation as it was used to transport goods, provided a never-ending supply of food and single handedly nourished crops utilised for sustenance and trade.

ALICIA WALLACE: Unlawful sex is rape; time to name it and do what’s needed to stop it

IT is nowhere near surprising to read news stories about increased reports of sexual violence. It has become a near-daily challenge to get through articles about court cases involving men who have raped or otherwise sexually assaulted children where their crimes are referred to as sex or, in some other way, named as though they are not criminal, abuses of power, and void of consent.

They served with distinction

Age of consent

Recently, a 40-year-old child sexual predator was given a light plea deal sentence of four years in prison for repeatedly engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old child. Such a light sentence for such a horrific crime should cause us to hang our national head in shame. Why? Because the way a society truly feels about a particular crime is expressed by the punishment meted out to it. And it matters not that the maximum sentence for unlawful sexual intercourse with a child under age 16 is life in prison. Sadly, that maximum sentence on the law books is functionally irrelevant because the sentences given to child sexual predators are slaps on the wrist. In truth, they amount more to reward than punishment.

ALICIA WALLACE: They expect our votes but are too cowardly to even stand up and defend themselves

General elections loom ahead with no firm date, though the current administration promised fixed election dates and fixed terms for Prime Ministers in its 2017 campaign, and debates are being organized.

Elections and Christian voters

As Christians we have a sacred duty to know the character and competence of our political candidates, to understand their personal and political philosophies, and to evaluate their policies and promises so that we can determine by the grace of God who are the best persons to rule this great country.

Convinced Greenslade will win in Garden Hills

I am very selective when it comes down to my politics. Yes, I am perceived as being a die-hard supporter of a well-known party but my personal preferences have little to do with how I look at and react to various politicians or those who are seeking front line participation.
