All South Africans deserve to share in Rugby World Cup joy, not just premium DSTV subscribers

Posted on 09/20/2019 Leave a comment

“It is a pity that the SABC’s inability to broadcast the Rugby World Cup will deprive millions of South Africans of the opportunity to participate in the euphoria and cohesion that the tournament brings to everyone in the country,” says Heloïse Jordaan, FF Plus MP and chief spokesperson for sport.

“The mandate of the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture is to promote nation-building and social cohesion. The World Cup is the ideal opportunity to do so.”

“It is therefore regrettable that the SABC does not go the extra mile to make plans in partnership with the government and the broadcaster of the spectacle, as with Absa’s Soccer Premier League series, to make the broadcast possible on the SABC’s channels, even if it’s just the matches in South Africa.

“In the case of the broadcasting rights for the football series, Minister Nathi Mthethwa (sport, arts and culture) played a leading role

ANC regime gets billed for R100m for 35,000 election posters – The taxpayer will probably now have to shake his pockets to pay the bill?

Posted on 09/20/2019 Leave a comment

The ANC Treasury General, Paul Mashatile, was apparently unaware that an invoice was made for the debt to be paid.

It was apparently only when the invoice, with an amount of R102 million, was shown to him, that the sparks flew.

An investigation has now been ordered following the invoice issued for the delivery of 35,000 election posters that were apparently not approved by the party.

Mashatile was apparently unaware of the deal until the invoice was brought to his eyes, and an investigation is now underway as to who is responsible for the mess.

However, it appears that the ANC did receive and use the posters, and will thereby also be responsible for paying the bill.

Magashule: SA economy is in the hands of the minority and unfortunately, they are white – White monopoly still exists

Posted on 09/20/2019 Leave a comment

ANC secretary general, Ace Magashule breathed new life into the party’s controversial debate on the concept of white monopoly capital when he said on Wednesday night that the economy was still in the hands of white people. He goes further by saying that if white monopolistic capital was redefined as monopolistic capital, students would have fought less aggressively against it.

Ace made the odd remarks at an event at the University of Witwatersrand, where he addressed students with the theme of building a foundation in the current political system. He says white monopoly capital exists and it is a reality that will not disappear. He again used the ANC rhetoric of the students who can now study after the freedom movements made it possible. He also took the opportunity to say that the EFF has no right to claim the concept of economic freedom since the ANC started it years ago as a pursuit.

According to Magashule, the economy is in the hands of the w

Posted on 09/20/2019 Leave a comment

The anarchy of students continues unabated after a satellite police station was set on fire near the Richards Bay campus.

Lectures are suspended and there is no indication when lectures will resume. Meanwhile, students are demanding enhanced security and security measures at the campus.

Informed sources claim that unrest on campuses is now artificially fueled by students who do not do their studies and end up trying to postpone exams, and in some cases even get postponed.

Posted on 09/20/2019 Leave a comment

Rebellious students from Durban University of Technology wreaks havoc at the Steve Biko campus during a violent demonstration. They insist that the current security company be replaced. Lectures are currently suspended and nearly 34,000 students are unable to attend lectures. During the riot, 9 students were arrested after gasoline was thrown over a security guard and he was set on fire.

Spare the rod, spoil the child – Giving your child a hiding at home remains illegal!

Posted on 09/18/2019 Leave a comment

According to a ruling by the Constitutional Court on Wednesday, corporal punishment in the future will be illegal in private households

The majority judges of the Constitutional Court claims that children can still be effectively disciplined without using moderate and reasonable chastisement, there are other means of enforcing discipline.

In November last year, the Constitutional Court heard an application by Freedom to Religion in South Africa (FOR SA) requesting that a 2017 Supreme Court ruling that corporal punishment in private households be set aside.

Daniela Ellerbeck, legal representative for FOR SA, said earlier that the Supreme Court ruling “will make criminals of well-meaning parents who love their children and only want the best for them”.

Ellerbeck said the Supreme Court ruling essentially meant that if a parent just gave their child a light blow to the hind, the parent could be arrested, prosecuted and convicted.<

Julius Malema’s ‘dead white man’ tweet is hate speech, says SAHRC

Posted on 09/18/2019 Leave a comment

Julius Malema’s comments on Twitter will be referred to the equality court and the SAHRC will also investigate the EFF’s ban on media organisations amaBhungane and the Daily Maverick from their events.

The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) on Tuesday condemned recent comments attributed to EFF leader Julius Malema — at least at first sight — as amounting to hate speech.

They were referring to a video shared on his Twitter feed in which he paid tribute to the late former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe.

The tweet, published on September 14 with the words “Rest in power #GUSHUNGO” featured a video with quotes by Mugabe. “The only white man you can trust is a dead white man,” read one of the quotes alongside a picture of Mugabe.

Malema later shared a message, accompanied by the words “Stratcom #GUSHUNGO”, from Twitter, saying it had “investigated the reported content and could not identify any vio
