SA’s fiscal position – Great possibility that economy will be downgraded to junk status

Posted on Leave a comment

Tito Mboweni is expected to paint a gloomy picture of the country’s fiscal position later this month.

The agency Moody’s has had a fairly stable rating so far, but economists warn that the view may change to negative.

Moody’s has already made “negative” comments at its quarterly conference last week. The chance that SA will be finally downgraded to junk status is a possibility, and this is due to the poor growth and continuous cash injection into the country’s bankrupt state intimacies such as Evkom, SAA, Denel and SABC.

Airlines transports illegal aliens to SA even though Immigration Act of 2002 states that no one can enter the country without a passport

Posted on Leave a comment

According to the Foreign Minister, Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, eight airlines have been fined more than R31 million over the past 2 years after illegal aliens were brought into the country during flights.

The Immigration Act of 2002 states that no one is allowed to enter the country without a passport. Undocumented immigrants may be arrested without a warrant. Despite the fact that eight airlines were ordered to raise R8.8 million in 2016-17, they did not pay and breached on a larger scale, with fines amounting to R22.6 million in the following financial year.

Emirates faces fines of R2.67 million and R6.96 million, respectively, and tops the list of offenders, with the South African Airways (SAA) second, with fines of R2.16 million and R4.44 million. The other culprits are Ethiopian Airlines (R1.7 million and R4.1 million), Kenya Airways (R390 000 and R2.34 million), British Airways (R975 000 and R1.35 million), Qatar Airways (R435 000 and R1, 34 million), Rwandair (R225 00

Imported milk from Poland is causing SA dairy farmers to suffer financially

Posted on Leave a comment

A dairy farmer Rudolf Burger, from Brandfort in the Free State is upset after he recently discovered a consignment of long-life milk under Woodlands Dairy’s First Choice brand, hailing from Poland at one of SA’s large retailer groups Metro. According to him, South African dairy farmers can supply enough milk to meet local demand. It is totally unnecessary to import long-life milk.

Burger sketches the picture and says that he is certain that Polish dairy farmers are subsidized, South African dairy farmers are in a difficult position due to rising costs such as wages, power and fuel. However, he believes there should be import tariffs on imported milk and other agricultural products because in most cases the consumer is not favoured and the trader is the only one benefiting.

According to Mr. Lex Gutsche, chairman and CEO of Woodlands Dairy, the Polish milk in question was imported to make sure there was enough milk on the shelves in winter. This

278 pieces of state land identified for redistribution in the Western Cape – more land that would become useless when distributed among incompetent people

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s deputy president, David Mabuza, says the government has already identified 278 pieces of state land in the Western Cape that could be used for redistribution.

Mabuza was the speaker at an event in the Western Cape and used the opportunity to praise the province’s Prime Minister, Alan Winde, saying “he is a very good man”.

Asked about economic prospects, Mabuza said the government is working to implement the National Development Plan, but economists say nothing has come of it and is a stillborn plan.

It is suspected that the hundreds of pieces of land will also be useless when it is distributed to untrained people.

Malfunctioning ANC regime is pushing agriculture across an economic abyss and is calling for the destruction of SA’s food security

Posted on Leave a comment

The TAU is of the opinion that the malfunctioning ANC government is actively pushing the agricultural sector across an economic abyss and is calling for the accelerating rate of destruction of South Africa’s food security.

This according to Mr. Johan Steyn, Chairman: TAU SA Eastern Cape, following the revelation that the government could not convince the World Animal Health Organization (EIA) to declare South Africa as foot-and-mouth free.

“According to our information, the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development and Land Reform was supposed to make two submissions to the EIA,” he says. “The purpose of this was to restore our country’s foot-and-mouth disease status. At the first submission, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute (OVI) did not want to release the serological results because the OVI department owes money. With the second submission that was due to take place, Onderstepoort was unable to analyze because no sampl

South-Africa: Since apartheid was abolished, 1,000,000 people have been raped, 500,000 killed

Posted on Leave a comment

According to the Institute of Racial Relations (IRV), crime statistics look like a low-intensity civil war and SA is still losing the fight against crime.

The people of the country are living under an impending cloud of anarchy every day. The Institute shows that murders have risen to 21,000 over the past year and SA is being compared to a country like Syria. The rape figure looks even worse with two rapes for each murder committed. Since apartheid was abolished, 1,000,000 people have been raped and 500,000 killed.

Commercial crime increased by 14%. More than 83,000 cases have been reported to the police. The offenses include fraud, corruption, money laundering, forgery and cyber crimes. Robberies have exceeded the 140,000 notch while truck hijackings show more than 1,180 reported cases.

South Africa’s murder rate has increased by 5,8 percent compared with the previous year.

Experts strike back at Zulu king after he tried to stick his nose into state affairs

Posted on Leave a comment

Experts from the South African constitution say it is striking, but unsolicited, that the Zulu king Goodwill seeks to exert influence on matters of the state.

Zwelithini was apparently disgusted because he was not even approached before the Minister of Police would talk to hostel residents’ leaders.

It is clear that Goodwill is attempting a power play, but it is also clear to experts that he has no idea of the Constitution’s provisions.

There is no reason for the minister to get “approval” from the Zulu king before he wants to talk to hostel leaders about the xenophobic cases.

A meeting with hostel leaders from Jeppestown and surrounding areas from where many attacks were made on strangers was planned to take place over the weekend and is the main center where 12 people were killed.

However, Zwelithini’s bossy attitude made him look ridiculous and ignorant, a political expert and Constitution expert la

Pay back the money Zuma! – Nkandla in VBS liquidators’ vision – cough up R7m or lose Nkandla

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s Jacob Zuma is in a big financial crisis with his multi-million Rand loan he received from bankrupt VBS Mutual Bank and now has to pay back the money.

Along with that, there are the million Rand court costs to be paid while more court cases are being filed in an effort to be cleared of the debt.

The amount of more than R7 million borrowed from VBS can be claimed any day, and then Nkandla can be compromised.

Although the Nkandla complex was but controversially erected with the largest share of the cost financed from the state coffers, it is doubted how much the real value of the property is being erected in a strange rural area.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Zuma is also still a full year in arrears with the payment of his loan.

According to News24, VBS Mutual Bank’s liquidator, Anoosh Rooplal, has filed an application with the Pietermaritzburg High Court for an order that will force Zuma to pay, or an or

TAU SA reacts sharply on blacks’ incitement and racial hatred fueled towards white people in SA during xenophobic violence

Posted on Leave a comment

According to Mr. Louis Meintjies, the president of TAU SA, is unclear about the exact motives of groups such as the BLF and EFF, but it is very clear that they proclaim racial hatred against white people and even go so far as to say that violence against white people is justifiable.

The leaders of the BLF and EFF, Andile Mngxitama and Julius Malema, and the Secretary-General of the ANC, Ace Magashule, are the frontrunners with their statements in which they encourage supporters to attack white South Africans rather than black foreigners.

Mngxitama threatens that one day “they” will turn against the whites and blame the white minority for “their” poverty. He says that looting and rioting are just the dress rehearsal for a civil war against whites, while Malema encourages his “African brothers and sisters” to focus their anger on the “owners of wealth – white, monopolistic capital”. Magashule denies t
