STAY SAFE

- SIPHESIHLE BUTHELEZI

AS MATRICULANTS across South Africa prepare to celebrate the end of their school careers, safety remains a major concern.

While celebrations mark a milestone, past tragedies linked to substance abuse, reckless behaviour, and accidents have prompted calls for greater supervision and planning.

Specific guidance has been issued for Matric Rage 2025, a series of high-profile celebrations taking place along the KwaZulu-Natal coastline and on the Western Cape coast in Plettenberg Bay.

Recommendations for attendees include sharing travel plans with trusted contacts, using real-time tracking apps such as Fidelity SecureDrive, carrying panic devices, staying alert in crowded venues, and taking care with drinks and personal belongings.

Its existence invites a deeper reflection on what it reveals about the state of our democracy and the enduring instinct for survival. Far from signalling a rupture, the ANC's participation in the GNU may represent a familiar trend in our political history, one in which power yields just enough to preserve itself.
