“Africa is #CoronaVirus’ Most Vulnerable Target” Because a Million Chinese Work in Africa, Where They Probably Can’t Even Diagnose The Virus!

Posted on Leave a comment

The Chinese coronavirus which is spreading from China, is looking like it could be an actual pandemic, that circles the globe, according to many of the world’s leading infectious disease experts. Rapidly rising caseloads are alarming researchers, who fear the virus may make its way across the globe. But scientists cannot yet predict how many deaths may result.

To be an official Pandemic, it needs ot be an ongoing epidemic on two or more continents which may well have global consequences. Despite the supposed quick and decisive action by China and the extraordinary travel restrictions and quarantines now imposed by China and other countries, including Russia and the United States.

Many experts agree that if any continent is to become the second one, to make it a Pandemic, it would be Africa, as it is the coronavirus’ most vulnerable target. Over 1 Million expatriate Chinese work there, mostly on mining, drilling, retail or engineering projects. Also

Man’s testicles almost cut off in yet another #FarmAttack! Couple brutally beaten, kicked and stabbed in the Welbekend area of Bapsfontein, Gauteng

Posted on Leave a comment

4-6 Farm attackers strangled Timothy Rademeyer (51) with a scarf and cut his private parts with a sharp object in a barbaric attack that happened Tuesday night, or in the early morning hours on Wednesday, in the Welbekend area in Bapsfontein, Gauteng. Timothy’s partner, Dirkie Voges (61), was also seriously injured in the farm attack.

The couple were found on Wednesday morning after Dirkie managed to walk to the nearest road. A good Samaritan passerby, Mr Ian Jackson, saw Voges next to the road at around 07:30 and drove her to his cousin, who is a paramedic living nearby. He and his cousin, Candice Allison, then drove to the farmhouse where a bloody scene awaited them.

They found Rademeyer with a scarf tied so tightly around his neck that they had to cut it off. Rademeyer had deep cuts to his arms, head and also private parts. Rademeyer and Voges were both also brutally beaten and kicked. Voges sustained concussion and her ear drum had burst from

De Ruyter has an impossible task of saving bankrupt Eskom

Posted on Leave a comment

The fact that Eskom is in a bad position is common knowledge, and this news are reaching investors abroad. The dire condition of SA’s economy makes investors hesitant to invest in the country since they will be risking their money in the maze.

After the ANC regime finally realized, after 25 years of mismanagement, that they needed to find a competent person to get rid of the mess, Andre de Ruyter was appointed to the unenviable position.

His statements about Eskom are by no means flattering, and how such an enormous debt burden will be worked out, providing constant, sustainable power to the whole country, was asked too much from one person.

His meeting with the Eskom directors on Wednesday is likely to deal with the many “unplanned maintenance” that needs to be done, and clearly shows that regular checking of equipment is not done.

This is one of the main reasons why Eskom cannot provide sustainable power supplies, and expe

Stellenbosch University is being accused as a racist institution after previously disadvantaged groups are flaunting allegations left and right

Posted on Leave a comment

Students are once again obsessed with the so-called racism used by whites and complain about things that have nothing to do with racism, says an educator who wants to remain anonymous.

One white man speaks to other whites on campus, ignoring the other coloured people who join it, and it is now called racism, it is said.

The whites also do not share their knowledge of a particular subject’s content with other students, except with their friends who are also whites.

One student complains that her roommate, who is white, does not speak to her father because she is black, and considers it a serious offense of racism.

Educators believe the complaints of other coloreds are considered to be those of people with an inferiority complex and should seek the fault within themselves. After all, it is logical for people to be more positive towards their own friends than to strangers.

Bankrupt power supplier is struggling to maintain electricity grid and diesel generator units are used to prevent #rollingblackouts

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom has now gone so far as to use its emergency reserves in an effort to evade load shedding.

The diesel generator units have been used to prevent the burning of candles, but the diesel fuel bill is already more than 50% over the entity’s allowable diesel consumption according to its budget.

Workers claim they worked hard on Wednesday night to pump water so the entity on Thursday could avoid shedding.

Observers believe these are probably the first signs of a new breeze blowing through Eskom, as no one has taken much responsibility to date on whether to light the candles and when it’s going to change.

Last year’s load shedding cost Amcor about R740m, directly affecting the net profit to be shown at the end of a financial year.

ANC regime has driven SA into bankruptcy over a 25-year period

Posted on Leave a comment

The extremely dire situation in which South Africa finds itself has raised the question of whether it is not yet time to make a survey of everything that has been destroyed in 25 years.

A political analyst points out that the first red light came on when municipalities across the country, all of which had cash stashed  up over years, suddenly turned red in the face of bankers.

Today, there is probably not one municipality that is either totally bankrupt, or hesitates on the brink of bankruptcy.

The debt burden of billions of rand in municipal structures is one of the surest ways that South Africa will look just like Zimbabwe in the foreseeable future – tar roads become dust roads, light fires sometimes, and businesses close their doors, one sooner than the other.

The government is in the same position – the latest shock is that the government has failed to raise R2bn so that the bankrupt SAA can resume its flights.

Why do people vote for same leaders who don’t deliver services?

Posted on Leave a comment

Service delivery protests in South Africa are continuing as different municipalities fail to deliver their mandate of providing basic services to their communities.

The Maluti-A-Phofung municipality in Free State has not supplied water to Qwaqwa since last year December and tensions flared up when a young girl drowned while trying to collect water from a nearby river.

Communities such as as the Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality in the Chris Hani District of the Eastern Cape have also experienced a billing crisis which has not been solved in years.

With all these service delivery problems, Bongani Bingwa questions why many people in these communities continue to vote for the same leaders that do not deliver services.

He chats to North-West University public policy lecturer and Thabo Mbeki School of Leadership visiting lecturer TK Pooe to unpack this matter.

I always say this, in public policy ours is not to tell people who to vote fo

SA’s high unemployment rates are swept in front of Eskom’s door

Posted on Leave a comment

Mining houses and corporate businesses are accusing Eskom for the high unemployment rates since their pathetic service delivery is causing uncertainty in the economy.

Several institutions announcing in recent weeks that they would need to start retrenchments, unemployment has increased alarmingly rapidly and even greater retrenchments are provided.

The uncertainty caused by Eskom in the supply of electricity has forced many mining houses to generate self-sufficient power, but which is far more expensive than using the national power supply.

Eskom is also accused of being directly responsible for the poor economic situation and the fact that foreign investors are not interested if power supply cannot be guaranteed in South-Africa.

Unemployment has now reached the 29% level, which is the highest in history, and employment is estimated at 52% according to figures applicable for December.
