Cape Town - In this week's in studio labour brief Terry Bell gives kudos to judge Hilary Rabkin-Naicker for her handling of the platinum crisis, where he describes her action as an example for presidents, ministers, politicians... "what should've been done in a national crisis".
Also highlighted is the "ad hocism and denialism" that's prevalent in the education and labour departments. "The farm worker wage hike is a bit like putting one wheel on a four-wheel wagon and wondering why it doesn't move."
And a visit to the Karoo leads to the discovery of an oasis of excellence, where farm worker children are given the chance to grow into skilled teachers, social workers, welders, professionals... also the subject of this week's Inside Labour column.
