EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO HIS/HER OPINIONS

I grew-up in an environment where television was educating. However, I did not know the real reason why there is television. Even now I want to believe that television is educating though there are those programmes that I watch and feel that why this programme is being broadcasted. Television caters for a broad variety of people, whereas people we often adopt from its programmes.

Individually we live by our own values,however at some point the media influence them by setting agendas and framing issues. The media share ideas about old and current issues to our societies on a daily basis. Our communities therefore adapt to those ideas as the right way of living.

We individually have reasons why we use the media. Some use media as part of their entertainment while others use it for educational and guidance purpose. However,today some of our media activities are no-longer educational nor adding value to our lives.


On Wednesday, 12 June 2013, Drum magazine published views of former generation actor, Mike Mvelase known as Khaphela. According to Drum Mvelase said “The writers of Generations are sending out the wrong message. What lessons are they teaching our kids with the characters of Senzo and Jason?"read more


Personally I believe that media will never change but will grow in framing and setting agendas for our societies, but it will depends on us to which programmes we choose to watch. Using viewership reports will assist to know what the public really wants.

DEATH STOLE FROM OUR SOUTH AFRICAN FAMILY ONCE AGAIN!


Death steals from our families on a daily basis without thinking about those who will be left behind. It is a visitor of all families and at its own time. No one can choose when to die and how. It is always by the will of God. Those left behind can hold on to great memories that our brothers and sisters have left behind.
