1. The Ministry of Labour needs to take a keen look at the way security personnel are treated in this country. For example, how can it be right for security guards to be on duty 48 hours non-stop? There are scores of stories relating to the abuse meted out to these workers and someone needs to come to their defence.

Joy for hip couple

2. The stork's arrival is music to the hears of the hip couple who have been wishing for an offspring since their nuptials last year. Over yonder, Grandma can hardly keep up with her duties because her heart is here at home as she anxiously awaits the arrival.
