Aristide to return to Haiti soon

Johannesburg - Former Haitian president Jean Bertrand Aristide has ruled out returning to the politics of his country, SABC news reported on Tuesday.

In an interview with the broadcaster, Aristide said a date for his return to his country from South Africa would be announced as soon as the necessary consultations have taken place.

He said newly elected president Rene Preval would consult with the United Nations, other Caribbean states and South Africa about his return.

"I do believe I will be back as soon as possible and I will continue to invest in education.

"I don't have a precise date, as President [Thabo] Mbeki said the other day it has to be emerging from dialogue with President Preval, myself, the UN and other countries because all are putting their hands together o keep peace in the country," Aristide said.

Latest comment in South Africa

Gail says... Her mother is probably not at home and when she is too exhausted to set the rules. My housekeeper (who lives with her children in a township) rules her kids with a rod of iron. EVERYONE has to be inside at 6p.m. (including her husband when he was still alive). None of us who live in the burbs realise what these people have to live with. We weep and wail when it's done to one of ours and build walls and install security systems. Over the 24 yrs she has worked for me I have educated and advised her and she has never once worked over holidays when there is noone to care for her children. She goes home at 3.30 in the afternoon so that she can ensure that SHE is safe and get her children in. One can start here to assist and educate in your own home by realising that these are mothers carrying enormous loads and assisting them with practical things. I dealt with the fallout from a statutory rape of an impregnated girl and provided alternatives to abortion as well as counselling. People asked why I had got involved - people in places like childline! Volunteer and become an advocate. I teach it to my older students and taught my sons one of whom wnt into disadvantaged schools as a law student to teach kids at schools what their rights were re sexual harrassment.
