HEALTH: REACTION TO 'NUCLEAR DISASTER ALERT'
The comparison of over-exposure to industrial radiography sources with nuclear accidents such as those at the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl is grossly inaccurate and irresponsible. Accidents or incidents involving over-exposure to radiation sources, be it in industry or medicine, can never be compared to accidents involving nuclear installations, e.g. reaction or power plants. The Department can confirm that the two persons from Secunda in Mpumalanga have, as reported, been exposed to high ... [highlighted result]

FRASER-MOLEKETI: INTERNATIONAL YEAR FOR THE ELDERLY
Our society has enforced an age limit which means that at a certain age you are no longer of value to society. So for example the majority of old age homes are in Gauteng and the Western Cape, while older people are spread throughout the country. In fact there are only about 589 old age homes accommodating about 34 000 older persons, when there are about 3 million people older than 60 in South Africa. [highlighted result]

We are still confronted on a daily basis by examples of discrimination against people with disabilities. Housing developers can, for instance, ensure that a percentage of houses built in the province are customised for people with disability. People with disability can only participate fully in society once we all free ourselves from the negative attitudes we have. [highlighted result]
