Zimbabwe’s former President Robert Mugabe has passed away

Posted on 09/06/2019 Leave a comment

Robert Mugabe, the former president of Zimbabwe, has died aged 95. His 40-year leadership of the former British colony was marked with bloodshed, persecution of political opponents and vote-rigging on a large scale.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa shared the news of Mugabe’s death on Twitter.

Mugabe, who became Zimbabwe’s first black leader at independence from Britain in 1980, first as prime minister and then as president from 1987, was once touted for investing heavily in health and education in the early years of his rule, leaving his country with one of the highest literacy rates in Africa.

He however became increasingly unpopular as the economy began to wane, later facing charges of cracking down on his political opponents and rigging elections to stay in power.

His government’s controversial programme of seizing white owned commercial farms for redistribution among blacks he said had been dispossessed of the land duri

The SABC wants to increase your TV licence fees- But who are actually still paying for this service that only caters for a certain group of people?

Posted on 09/06/2019 Leave a comment

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) is looking at increasing its TV licence fees as the embattled state broadcaster continues to face financial challenges.

In a parliamentary presentation on 28 August, the SABC said that it has drafted and sent a proposal to increases TV licences fees to communications minister, Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams.

However, SABC board chairperson, Bonamisa Makhatini, has made it clear that this increase may not be enough to cover the broadcaster’s many expenses.

“There had been eight increases in 24 years,” he said. “If the fee were to be increased, it had to be considered what was affordable. Content had to be attractive and compelling.”

One of the key problems with raising TV licences is the issue of compliance with the broadcaster reporting a compliance level of just 27.8% in October last year.

Citing the latest data from Stats SA, Makhatini said that there are 9.6 million TV licence

Traitor Malema Sells Out His Own People To Globalism! Just Like De Klerk, Mandela, Tony Blair, Merkel, Obama…

Posted on 09/04/2019 Leave a comment

Julius Malema, the deliberately controversial leader of the deliberately misnamed Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), recently showed his true globalist colours, exposing his service and loyalty to London and Western Globalism. Speaking in response to the popular uprising happening among black South Africans, who are pushing back against the unchecked mass immigration into their country ever since the ANC obediently implemented Open Borders, through their policy of Deliberate Negligence on the border.

The EFF leader has responded to reports of renewed anti mass immigration violence by asking his followers to rather direct their anger at wealthy white people.

In a speech (video below) and tweet that has been described by EFF opponents AfriForum as a “racist incitement”, Malema called for “African brothers and sisters” to rather direct their anger at the “owners of wealth … white monopoly capital”.

As all nations around the globe who ha

Cabinet will discuss calls for return of death penalty amid rising violence against women in SA

Posted on 09/04/2019 Leave a comment

Justice minister Ronald Lamola has promised to take calls for a referendum for the return of the death sentence to the cabinet.

The calls have been made amid the background of rising violence against women in the country, particularly in the wake of the brutal rape and murder of student Uyinene Mrwetyana, which brought the question of gender-based violence and femicide back into the spotlight.

Lamola and minister for women in the presidency Maite Nkoana-Mashabane were addressing the media on Tuesday.

Lamola said he could not decide alone whether or not to bring back the death penalty, but that all he could do was to take the matter to cabinet for discussion – and then for approval or disapproval.

“Whether we are open to referendum or not, at this stage I cannot say… It is something we can take further as a discussion to the cabinet,” said Lamola.

According to him, the NPA and the court could never alone halt gender-

Ever wonder why your cellphone network is having down times – Increasing battery theft at cell phone towers causes serious communication problems that will leave you without signal

Posted on 08/30/2019 Leave a comment

Although it is currently the MTN cellphone company that is plagued by the theft of their batteries at the towers, the other two companies can expect the same drama.

MTN general manager Ernst Paul says the vandals are doing serious damage to the industry,

He says the stolen equipment causes serious communication problems and the persistent theft of batteries at cellphone towers leaves wide areas without cellphone services.

In addition to the interruptions caused by the theft of batteries, it costs MTN millions to replace the stolen goods.

The company is calling on the public to be on the lookout for such criminals, and notify MTN, or any other mobile phone company.

The actions of the public led to the recovery of 20 batteries, while the villains were also arrested, but there are suspicions that syndicates are busy with the raids, and many more people must be arrested.

Shale Gas energy can help Eskom to contribute to greener economy, it is a pity that there is no money for this initiative and underground water can be destroyed

Posted on 08/30/2019 Leave a comment

Experts believe the solutions to all of Eskom’s problems lie in converting to gas to eliminate coal pollution.

The investigation shows that gas will eventually be cheaper than coal, while the gas plant will cause about 80% less air pollution.

However, the conversion will be accompanied by high expenses, and the power supplier does not have a single cent to accomplish it.

In addition to the cost of conversion, there is the fear that renewed efforts will be made to mine the Great Karoo for underground gas, while destroying the region’s underground water.

A Brazilian expert says they have gained years of experience with clean energy systems such as hydro-energy generation, sugarcane and ethanol, which can all help to produce cleaner generation.

Will it be the final downfall of the controversial e-Toll system?

Posted on 08/30/2019 Leave a comment

Talks between the ANC Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, and the representatives of the AA as well as those of Outa, give the impression that the system may be tilted.

Mbalula says the opportunity was created to jointly decide on the e-toll system, which indicates that the Outa battle may eventually be the winner.

Opinionists believe the involvement of the AA suggests that a calculation of how to increase the fuel price may be needed to replace the e-toll.

The e-toll was disputed from the outset, and motorists have since refused to settle the accounts, which has resulted in an unusually large loss.

SA is collapsing and the bad conditions will put residents at the same level as Zimbabwe’s people

Posted on 08/30/2019 Leave a comment

Political analysts say that conditions in South Africa are now deteriorating by the day, and the bad conditions are now putting residents at the same level as in Zimbabwe.

The police service that has lost thousands of rounds of ammunition without any action being taken against the culprits indicates the dire security situation that prevails.

The country’s Defense Force was evaluated by experts about two years ago and it was found that its hitting power is now no better than it was in the 1930s when the the Air Force had more pilots than are currently employed after the best ones have already left the country.

The prospect that the government now wants to activate the so-called “National Health Plan” means that two things are waiting for the Westerners in the country:

That is, they will eventually no longer have a Medical Aid, and secondly, the health plan will follow the same route as Eskom, Denel, SABC, SAA, and others that are und

God Help us! No health care facility in Gauteng controlled by ANC regime could pass safety audit – Now the very same regime wants to enforce a National Health Insurance Plan across SA

Posted on 08/30/2019 Leave a comment

No healthcare facility in Gauteng was able to successfully pass a safety audit that complies with the Occupational Safety Act of SA (OHSA),according to a statement issued by DA Health spokesman Jack Bloom on Thursday. This means that all hospitals and clinics in Gauteng pose a safety risk to staff and patients.

It ranges from overcrowding to emergency departments, leaky roofs, non-functional air conditioning and non-standard kitchens.

This highlights how unprepared the state is for the planned National Health Insurance to be introduced.

Informed sources believe it is better not to go to the hospitals, as the risk of just being further affected or even die, has become too great.

“This information about the shock state of healthcare facilities is revealed by Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku in a written response to questions in the Gauteng Legislature,” Bloom said.

The following facilities performed the worst:

Eskom may be peddling its problems – now wants to sell some of its power plants to cut losses due to maintenance costs

Posted on 08/29/2019 Leave a comment

Eskom plans to sell off its power plants in order to get rid of the bigger problems in the industry.

Informed sources told Die Vryburger that Eskom wants to sell its power plants that require large maintenance costs and are guilty of the huge pollution in certain areas such as the Eastern Transvaal to private entrepreneurs.

Eskom’s financial crisis does not allow him to do proper maintenance and end the huge air pollution, and now it seems that he would prefer to sell such power plants.

Eskom has still focused on the possibility of nuclear power generation, but the bankrupt entity will not be able to raise the funds for it.
