Good Writing Skills - A Relic?

Reading the letter (27/10/15) of Messrs. Makhombothi and Buku to the Cape Times on behalf of the SA Student Congress was a lesson in grammatical ubiquity. It was a perfect illustration of poor syntax, awkward grammatical construction and sentence structure.  

I presume these young men are ambitious, and will seek out powerful leadership roles in the future.  Good writing skills are an important part of communication in contrast to poor writing skills which create poor first impressions and negativity,  as in Makhombothi and Buku's letter. 

One can safely assume that it has been a long time since Makhombothi and Buku were taught any writing skills.  A refresher course is needed.  The good news is that writing is a skill which can be learned like any other. 

Being a political activist (in past years), the future of our country's youth is of paramount concern to 
me.  To this end, I offer to tutor these young people, and others,  if interested.
