to use the UNISA online platform optimally. It will include pictures
for easy referencing :), please note this is a first in a series of
instructive articles, it is a basic outline of how to access certain sites
using Unisa (like lexis nexus and juta) and information on those sites.
Please remember to stay awesome! <-- omit distracting childish crap

No! law works with concise text; not cartoons.

It's not determined by legal considerations.
it *IS* determined by societal considerations.

Like the fact that they burn-to-death women in Tanzania, for
suspected witch-craft, but not in Europe, is not determined by the law.

If this is not a legal issue then why raise it here? If you wish to found
such a newsgroup, go ahead

Good luck,

Which "here" are you reading from?
I cross-posted to: za.politics + soc.culture.south-africa + misc.legal
Would you deny that my text relates to all 3 groups?

The appropriate news groups were "FOUND" decades ago; before the
FB/twitter kiddie-wave.

If there's no eg. 'ski-resort in Algeria yet' it may be better
not to FOUND one. But rather to understand the reason/s.

So why do you mention the constitution, then?

soc.culture.south-africa is a societal newsgroup, and is not mandated
by the constitution.
