‘The state must revisit the Military Veterans Act’

19 Mar 2018

Military veterans who were left homeless after coming back from exile spoke to the M&G about being left out by the state.

PW Botha wagged his finger and banned us in 1988 but we stood firm. We built a reputation for fearless journalism, then, and now. Through these last 35 years, the Mail & Guardian has always been on the right side of history.

These days, we are on the trail of the merry band of corporates and politicians robbing South Africa of its own potential.
