@KirstiMiller30 We used to play it at primary school in SA. We called it Open Gates.

I grew up in Wagga Wagga where the kids growing up used to play a game called "Red Rover Cross Over". It was mainly a boys game where all the boys would gather in a group at the end of the playground with one boy standing in the middle of the playground. He'd yell "Red Rover Cross Over” and all the other kids had to run to the other end of the playground without being caught. The kid in the middle had to catch and hold one of them while yelling "caught 123" The kid caught would then join the kid in the middle for the next call of "Red Rover Cross Over" during which both kids in the middle would catch another kid who would stay in the middle and so on. The last kid caught would win the game and he'd be the one to stay in the middle for next round. It was good fun (my three daughters used to play it most afternoons with me) while giving the kids exercise and training for future rugby teams or other sports. Can anyone else recall playing the same game?

@TheNameofWar Buffoon.

During the Soviet Great Purge of the 1930’s, the NKVD attempted to arrest Cossack general Semyon Budyonny at his home. Budyonny brandished his Nagant M1895 pistol, phoned Stalin, and angrily demanded they be sent away. Stalin complied and the matter was not discussed again. Budyonny lived to be 90.

@adrian_slabbert @Rugby_Scoop Jake blaming others again. A pattern.

Had a feeling something was up @Rugby_Scoop

@John_Mphatsoe He hasn't dominated the syllabus since at least the late 90s.

Good riddance....

@f41333d2f433458 @eNCA How old are you? As a history teacher in SA from 2000 I've taught Apartheid, Rwandan genocide and colonialism ad nauseum.

@eNCA Great move! We had no business learning about Adolph Hitler as South Africans when little was covered about African History, Apartheid & Colonialism, Rwandan & Namibian Genocide. Our history should be our own to learn!

South Africa's history curriculum is set to undergo an overhaul. The changes aim to make the subject more African-centred in classrooms. The proposed curriculum, which would be compulsory, includes teaching South African history from before 1652. brnw.ch/21x1rLe

@Nelisiwe94 @eNCA How do you teach colonization without mentioning Van Riebeeck?

@eNCA Why they waited so long? Learning about Jan van Riebeeck should have ended soon after 1994.

@_My_Vriend @AccordingToLee This white teacher will also be pushed out. You think I've got the bucks to compete with euros?

@AccordingToLee Gaza settings.

@nicolelampert The South African branch?? Nah.... Get the basic facts right first.

The South African branch of top British private school Roedean has come under fire when its tennis team refused to play a match against players from a Jewish school. The girls refused to go on the tennis courts and play because their opponents were Jewish. it. “This disturbing refusal to play Jewish learners is deeply upsetting for the Jewish tennis players,” the South African Jewish Board of Deputies said. “It also conveys the message that hate and discrimination have become acceptable values at Roedean.”

The president of Burkina-Faso has reportedly turned down the marriage proposal from the sister of the prince of Dubai who confessed that he fell in love with him after watching his speeches online According to the sources, the princess said that she could marry Traore who's also the world's youngest vibrant president since Islam allows four wives. But according to the Burkinabe sources, Don Traore politely refused, saying he already has a beautiful African wife that his heart belongs to her and to the nation. Many Africans praised the Burkinabe son for showing loyalty, dignity for the African women and African traditions.
