Good Morning
Candidates who had not performed exceptionally well in their primary education have stolen the show in the just released results, proving that a 100 per cent transition is possible.

No Christmas for refugees as they decry brutality, bribery and threats
When you cry and weep, when you are miserable, you are alone. When you celebrate, the whole existence participates with you, so the saying goes.
