That’s why he stacked the ranks around him with those having extensive media experience, and subsequently sacked any journalist that would challenge his narrative.

Get your mouth used to saying these words. Get your pen used to writing them. We teach students in school that being a silent bystander to bullying is being complicit to that bullying. We ask children as young as 7 to step up, take the lead, be brave and to what is right. We want our children to have courage and agency in their lives? Lead by example. Do what is right. Speak. Write. Boycott. VOTE.
