EFF warns of ‘maximum’ ‘anarchy’ if government doesn’t scrap university registration fees – What arrogance coming from them, seems like they want everything in life for free!

Posted on 01/09/2019 Leave a comment

The EFF Students Command (EFFSC) held a press conference on Monday at the party’s headquarters in Braamfontein where they listed a series of demands, including the shut down of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).

Other demands included that “no students must be turned back due to lack of space” and that “all certificates” withheld by tertiary institutions due to lack of payment be given to their “rightful owners”.

Keetse also said the control of the education system by “white monopoly capital” must be disrupted.

Keetse warned there would be chaos if the government refused to respond to their calls for fee-free registration at South African universities.

He said the organisation is awaiting a response from government.

“We have given them deadlines. If they don’t respond by Wednesday, the 9th, they will experience a maximum level of anarchy. We are not scared of it, we know it very well. We have d

Posted on 01/09/2019 Leave a comment

Port Elizabeth – The Directorate of Priority Crime (Hawks) on Tuesday said they have seized cocaine coming from Brazil with a street value of R720 million in the Port Elizabeth docks.

The bust was made at the Port Of Ngqura, Coega Harbour and netted 706 kilograms of the drug packed into one kilogram bags.

The operation took place over a period of 12 days and the cocaine was seized on Monday.

At a media briefing on Tuesday in Struandale, National Head of the Hawks, Advocate Godfrey Lebeya said the value of the cocaine could have built an entire village.

Lebeya said the cocaine was concealed on the bottom floor of the ship under more than 3 369 containers in a 30-level ship.

“The crooks were determined to ensure that nobody would detect this. This was designed to evade detection,” he said.

Lebeya said the cargo was loaded into the ship in Brazil. It was meant to dock in Singapore before reaching its final destinati

Desperate times calls for desperate measures, but is this the right thing to do? After all financial losses occurred due to incompetence, negligence and corruption – SAA is borrowing R3.5bn from local banks

Posted on 01/09/2019 Leave a comment

South African Airways (SAA) received a R3.5bn loan to keep it going until the end of March.

This forms part of the R21,7 billion SA management believes is needs to make its turnaround strategy succeed.

SAA spokesperson Tlali Tlali confirmed the R3,5bn was received from local banks.

This comes after National Treasury gave R5bn to SAA in October last year to repay debt.

According to Tlali, SAA will not be profitable before 2021, but plans are on track to save the state-run airline from its money pen.

SA’s acting chief financial officer Deon Fredericks said in November that the airline needed the R3.5bn by March. According to Fredericks, SAA will suffer a R5.2bn loss in the current financial year to end-March, and a loss of R1.9bn in 2019-2020. However, SAA management has already warned the rise in oil prices could hamper its expected timetable for a return to profitability.

According to Tlali, SAA’s route between J

eThekwini slams those opposed to R20m statues as being against black unity – Taxpayers in Durban will have to cough up for the erection of two new statues of terrorists worth R20m to promote black unity in the province

Posted on 01/08/2019 Leave a comment

Two new statues of terrorists will cost Durban taxpayers R20m. The erection of the statues is alleged to promote black unity in the province. However to the cost of whom?

The municipality believe that terrorists Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo will be “honored” in this way and will encourage to promote black unity.

The previous four statues of Mandela, Mbeki, Zuma and Ramaphosa cost the taxpayer approximately R1,9 million.

Experts believe the amount of R20m for two further statues is excessive, and believes it is unfair to tax citizens while worshiping these terrorist worship.

Price shock beckons if Nersa authorize Eskom’s request- National power provider demands 45% increase in tariffs – Now taxpayers have to pay for state institution’s incompetence

Posted on 01/08/2019 Leave a comment

National power provider, Eskom’s application to Nersa will be heard in Cape Town next week.

Nersa has already approved a 4.41% increase, but now Eskom is demanding 15% annually over the next three years, which is three times the official inflation figure.

Energy expert Ted Blom says the application should be scrapped until the forensic audit is completed on the statecapture that took place at Eskom.

Experts have disclosed a different outlook on this situation by pointing out that the power tariffs are already too high and should rather be lowered, especially in view of the fact that power is being sold to neighboring countries at far lower rates than charged to South-Africa itself.

The power provider also indicated that load shedding could be reinstated next week, which would further crippled the economy.

South Africa’s public education system a disgrace – The real matric pass rate in South Africa’s is actually 40%

Posted on 01/08/2019 Leave a comment

Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga has announced the matric pass rate for the class of 2018 – 78.2%.

The “real” matric pass rate is much lower, however, when you take the total cohort of students who started school and would eventually become the matric class of 2018.

Looking at the number of learners enrolled in Grade 1 in 2007 – the group which would reach matric in 2018 – the total was 1,002,500.

With 512,700 full-time learners writing matric in 2018, and then 78.2% of these students passing, the “real” matric pass rates comes in at 40%.

Students dropping out
This sentiment was echoed by DA Shadow Minister of Basic Education Nomsa Marchesi.

Marchesi said that Motshekga has again failed to address “the large number of learners who don’t write matric in the first place”.

“Nearly half the learners who enrolled in Grade 1 in 2007 didn’t write the full-time matric exams in 2018 as they we

SA’s corrupt legislation allows Zuma to stand for parliament since people are only disqualified for nominations if they have a criminal record

Posted on 01/07/2019 Leave a comment

Jesse Duarte announced that only persons who have criminal records will be disqualified to be nominated for the forthcoming parliamentary elections.

Persons accused of corruption or implied about poor discipline are not prohibited from standing for parliament.

So Zuma and probably even the Guptas can stand in the election because they have not yet been found guilty of criminal offenses.

The significance of the ful of the list of 200 names that have now been finalized is that every second name on the list should be a woman and every third nominee should possess special skills.

Is the assumption right that only a third of the ANC’s parliamentary candidates should be proficient and competent?

It is uncertain whether the ANC will act by law and take away Zuma’s presidential privileges if he decides to stand for parliament.

Posted on 01/07/2019 Leave a comment

The Payments Association of SA (PASA) advised consumers to check their bank accounts regularly.

Criminal elements set debit deductions on clients’ accounts, and in most cases the amounts are less than R100.

Banks first notify clients when amounts over R100 are recovered from their accounts.

Cyber crimes are increasingly occurring and hackers are making millions of such schemes, during times when consumers are is relaxed and in holiday spirit.
