Victory! FOOD Kitchen free to share their food
The South African Goverment proposes to control and accredit soup kitchens in South Africa. Many Women's organisations started soup kitchens, mobilise funding, solicit Food donations, recruited volunteers and served 1000's of meals to vulnerable Communities!
The National Department of Social Development now proposes to CONTROL, MANAGE AND DETERMINE who can run a soup kitchen! Food donations to be Centralised!
We say NO... Keep your hands off our soup kitchens! We as communities and NPOs will decide how, when we provide food! We demand DSD to stop!
NPOs have successfully provided food to 1000's of people while DSD and corrupt officials tried to distribute food parcels! What a disaster! Now confusion on SASSA relief! Now this same department want to Feed the Communities! Stay away! Do not touch our soup kitchens! Please join our protest! Please sign and share this petition!

Female lawyers finally able to wear hijabs to call-to-bar!
The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria allows people the right to life, to association, religion among others. This is supreme and allows people to live fairly and happily with one another.
The Nigerian Law profession thinks otherwise - they need people to think their way, to walk their way, to look their way and talk what they want. They force people to abandon their religion in order to be called "barristers". At every year "call to bar", they ask Muslim ladies who have never exposed their hairs all their lives to remove their hijabs - before they can be allowed to practice Law in the country.
In most Nigerian courts, hijab is not allowed in court, albeit, imported wigs can be worn. This has affected the career of so many Muslim ladies who have gone to law college for 5 years, another 1 year in Law school but have not been allowed to practice until they abandon their religion.
This petition seeks to end this unconstitutional behaviour by the custodians of the constitution, and seeks to call the "body of benchers" to book, end the forced removal of modest dressing before Law can be practised and seeks a free, fair and equal treatment to all persons irrespective of age, sex, religion or nationality.

Kenyan Government rejects ICT Practitioners Bill
The Kenyan Govt proposed a bill: The ICT Practitioners Bill. This bill comes with some wrong ideologies such as:
-For you to practice any ICT related activities you have to be registered as a Practitioner. This means licence fees, and other possible fines. The youths are the one who practice ICT. Most youths do so because they are jobless. This will obviously discourage any current or future practitioners.
- Is either a holder of an ICT Degree, diploma or any Degree with 3 years experience. We all know that most ICT practitioners do not have any or have very little formal education on ICT.
- Extra bureaucracies which are most likely to discourage youth from registering and possibly foster corruption.
Anyone who has worked in the ICT field knows that this is a free world of trade. These regulations are more likely to hinder youths progress than to help the industry.
