TAU SA: Draconian idea of ​​expropriation without compensation by ANC regime cannot continue – South Africa and its inhabitants too precious to implement dangerous policies that threaten fundamental economic and other structures and systems in the country

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA, once again, as part of the ad hoc group focusing on the government’s expropriation without compensation, has just met again to reflect on the matter.

The convener of the Ad hoc group, Mr. Jaco Schoeman said at the last meeting that the future of South Africa and its inhabitants was too precious to allow the draconian idea of ​​expropriation to continue without compensation.

In the face of worsening poverty and rising unemployment, the government persists in its pursuit of harmful and dangerous policies that provide no solutions to the socio-economic issues facing South Africa. On the contrary, policies such as expropriation without compensation further undermine fundamental economic and other structures and systems in the country and pose an enormous threat to economic and accompanying social progress.

Once again, concerns have been expressed that the government is pursuing the policy of land expropriation without compensation

Medupi and Kusile power stations are still “off the grid” due to poor construction work, corruption and cost overruns

Posted on Leave a comment

More than 600 senior officials from Eskom and some executives were informed of the entity’s “turnaround” plan. According to documentation, Eskom is sitting without cash and has almost completely collapsed on several occasions.

R130bn has been loaned to the power provider and the state is expected to help as government announces increased tariffs. Eskom unbundling continues but will take four years to finalize. So the future is still bleak around the entity with its overloaded workforce and top structure officials.

In the last two years, Eskom reported a loss of R2.3 billion while R19.6 billion was wasted on unauthorized expenses.

In the meantime, Medupi and Kusile power stations are still “off the grid” due to poor construction work, corruption and cost overruns.

New health plan poses huge risk to SA’s economy and would be disastrous if implemented – even far left FW de Klerk Foundation have their doubts

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC regime has South Africa’s people in a huge dilemma with its National Health Plan.

Foreign media reports that a government spokesman said the plan would be implemented gradually, but that would depend on the economic growth achieved.

Experts point out that the country will not show any significant growth in the next five years, with the massive unemployment still rising.

The plan is believed to be “rolled out” in phases as economic growth improves, but experts point out that nothing has been said about what will happen if the economy recedes further.

Opinionists believe this will mean that the tax assessment could increase dramatically, and ultimately the entire Plan fails.

Even the far left FW de Klerk Foundation believes implementing the Health Plan will be a disaster again for South Africa.

Food production and delivery compromised – Farmers increasingly cautious in current economic climate as well as uncertain about future due to ANC land grab program

Posted on Leave a comment

The current financial climate is one of the important factors that make farmers more cautious when purchasing expensive tractors and farm implements.

In addition, the government’s land grab program, which is at the very top of the long list of uncertainties, is the biggest reason for farmers not to incur big spending.

The rand, which has become more unstable in recent months, makes farmers even more cautious as it contributes to drastic price increases on imported tractors and harvesters.

All this, together with the possibility that crop yields are not going to be as desired, are all factors that make farmers reluctant to make new purchases.

Concerns have been expressed that the uncertain conditions could have a serious and detrimental effect on food production and delivery and could even lead to larger imports of food that would not be of the same high quality as locally grown.

Taxpayers will now have to bailout the Ramaphosa regime after Moody lost patience with SA’s poor economic situation and proposes a tax increase

Posted on Leave a comment

The poor economic conditions, unemployment, little foreign interest, the land grab program, Eskom and other entities’ financial inability are all reasons why the country is in such a mess.

Moody’s has pointed out to the ANC-regime that it will have to raise taxes to fix the mess at Eskom, which is the first step to a series of tax hikes.

With the SABC, Denel, SAL, Eskom, and several other entities failing to be a profitable industry as it was years ago, the regime is pushing to raise taxes.

The poor decision to launch a National Health Plan while the country is in junk status is considered to be one of the stupidest decisions the Ramaphosa regime has yet made, which will also lead to astronomical increases in taxes.

Moving out of professional corps such as doctors, nursing staff, lawyers and others is the strongest indication that the country is heading for an enormous crisis that cannot be reversed.

Posted on Leave a comment

Former Military Hospital doctor, Dr Jacques de Vos, has been charged by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) for advising that abortion is the killing of an unborn human being. The complaint against Dr. De Vos and the denial of signing off his service is from the Military hospital and the HPCSA, who have entertained the complaint have taken a long time to hear it.

Dr De Vos, who is a member of Doctors For Life International (DFL) will finally be able to respond to charges after waiting more than two years since being barred from practicing as a doctor.

Dr De Vos was a medical intern at 2 Military Hospital when he was suspended from the gynaecology rotation and refused to be signed off. As a result, Dr De Vos has also been prevented from commencing his community service year, effectively barring him from practicing medicine in South Africa for the past two years.

ANC transformed the country into a disaster! In ANC-terms, the list of “transformational successes” is mind blowing, particularly seen in the context with the obsession with race representation at all costs, especially with regard to experience and skills

Posted on Leave a comment

After 25 years in office, the parliamentary debate on the transformation of South Africa’s economy to serve the nation is nothing more than an admission by the ANC that it failed miserably as the country’s government and that its harmful policies merely contributed to the destruction of our economy.

The ANC did indeed transform our country’s economy drastically. Particularly if seen in the context of ANC-reasoning which reduces all transformation to nothing more than an obsession with race representation at all costs, especially with regard to experience and skills.

As a result, the ANC transformed the country into a disaster. In ANC-terms, the list of “transformational successes” is mind blowing.

Eskom has been transformed by Affirmative Action (AA) to nothing but an empty shell that has eroded the country’s economic foundations. To crown this failure, Eskom is presently implementing further transformational plans to
