#ThrowbackThursday – 15 May 1987
The Herald goes back, way back, to 15 May 1987, for this week’s #ThrowbackThursday.
It’s #ThrowbackThursday and the Herald went back in time to 15 May 1987 to see what was in the news.
The headline on the front page read How can we help build a better SA? and the article touched on social issues like teenage pregnancy, education and life expectancy to name a few.
The Herald hit the streets to find out what people have to say about social issues in South Africa 32 years later.
Petrus Matamane from Greenhills said that the government should do more regarding HIV treatment and healthcare in South Africa.
Lindiwe Mokoena from Bekkersdal said that all the social issues in South Africa come from unemployment and poverty.
“There is a lot of crime, young people living with HIV, teenage pregnancies and education issues, but all of them are caused by unemployment,” she said.
