Matric results – SA standard is so low that matric are no longer accepted by most Western countries, and it is also a reason why the university’s pass rate is so high

Posted on Leave a comment

The 2018 exam has many matriculants in ecstasy about their excellent results, and the ANC government is broad breast over the 78% pass rate reflected.

It is even haunted by statements of “great improvement” over 2017’s results and that the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, is believed to be South Africa’s best minister.

The pass rate is set at 78.2%, and is apparently a significant improvement over any previous year, with 2017’s 75.1% and 2016’s 72.5%.

The 790,843 students are also the largest number of people who have completed the exam in one year.

but:

There are also the facts that are apparently obscured for political reasons, because once it is taken into account, there is only one long sadness and no reason to get excited.

First, the pass rate of subjects is a mere 30%.

Secondly, the scores achieved have been “upgraded” by many subjects to prevent too m

How nice this is, while the majority of the citizens in the country lives in poverty councillors across SA is set to receive generous salary increases

Posted on Leave a comment

More than 9 000 councillors in the country are set to receive a salary increase. This has emerged in a notice published in the Government Gazette last month in which Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Zweli Mkhize determined the upper limits of the salaries, allowances and benefits of all categories of councillors.

Mkhize said he made the determination after consultation with MECs responsible for local government in each province.

The notice states that councils should obtain permission from the MEC for local government prior to implementation of the provisions of the notice.

This will be after a council took a resolution, supported by a majority of councillors, for the municipality to pay councillors within different grades of remuneration.

The notice shows full-time councillors serving as mayors in metro municipalities will pocket R1350250 in annual remuneration packages, speakers and deputy mayors will receive R10

ANC Youth League supports Zuma after land reform message and goes as far to compare him to terrorist president Mandela

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC Youth League has reaffirmed their support for Jacob Zuma after his land reform statements. They go so far as to compare his contribution to the terrorist president Mandela.

The league says Zuma has many “connections” in the business, private and public sectors, making it an indispensable link for the ANC.

The controversial youth league that cannot even foot its own conference, apparently also has a debt burden caused by the youth who have no interest in being involved.

Observers say the league’s support for Zuma is not of great value to him, as it seems to be just a number of board members who made the decision.

President of the rainbow nation looks like he is scared of Natal and has canceled planned visits due to tension in some ranks

Posted on Leave a comment

Ramaphosa canceled his planned visit to Pietermaritzburg due to dormant tension in some ranks.

Members of Natal’s executive council state that there is a likelihood that tension between ANC members in the area may worsen and degenerate into chaos.

It would apparently be an “embarrassment” for the president of the country. Tension between Zuma supporters and Ramaphosa supporters has been dormant for some time now and has now become more evident with the controversial and bankrupt ANC Youth League who have announced their support for Jacob Zuma.

One of the main reasons why the country’s economic situation can worsen further in 2019 is because the Treasury is in the hands of Africans – of the 55 chief directors there are only seven white men and ten white women

Posted on Leave a comment

The Treasury has released dreadful news in a report indicating the breakdown of chief directors at the department.

Figures by Tito Mboweni indicate that of the 55 chief directors there are only seven white men and ten white women.

The other posts are filled by 25 black men and women, six coloured’s and seven Indians.

This means that only 30.9% of jobs are filled by whites while only one white holds a director-general’s post.

The report is considered by experts to be one of the main reasons why the country’s economic situation will deteriorate further in 2019.

With Ramaphosa’s inability to make Eskom and other state-owned industries profitable, the year is set to deliver dark times.

Wherever you go in SA, corruption is thriving! Corruption has now also emerged at International Airport OR Tambo after security officer received a bribe from a foreign traveler

Posted on Leave a comment

A video recording at OR Tambo International Airport apparently shows how a security officer received bribes from a foreign traveler.

The video is now widely spread on social networks with warnings not to be caught in the trap.

The video shows the security officer examining a person’s passport after which she receives money from the passenger.

An anti-corruption activist later uploaded the video to Twitter and said it was also on Facebook, but would also like to see the incident thoroughly investigated.

It turned out that the officer took R100 from the passenger, and it seems the passport was in order, but a tall tale made the passenger decide to rather pay the security officer a bribe.

How Cyril Ramaphosa is going to stop the evil of corruption is not known, but political analysts say it is an impossible task, because wherever you go you will find corruption.

WATCH VIDEO | Clifton Beach: Savages slaughter sheep during ritual sacrifice on the shores of the Cape in protest action to cleanse the beach of racism

Posted on Leave a comment

A day of activism at Clifton Beach descended into acrimony after a group of protesters marked the occasion by slaughtering a sheep at the Cape Town tourist hot-spot.

Demonstrators had gathered in their hundreds during Friday, to take action against the alleged racist employment of a private security company on one of Clifton’s secluded beaches.

Clifton Beach: Reasons for protest
Those affected were mainly people of colour, and even included local ANC figure Faiez Jacobs. They were shifted on by the PPA firm earlier this week, in what has been described as an “affront” to citizens’ rights.

Activists say the offering was a way to call on their ancestors to respond to the trauma.

Local media reported that the meat from the animal would be braaied after the ritual was complete.

Masixole Mlandu said it’s time black people defend their right to spaces such as these: “(But) also we’re here to remind the country of

South-Africa is another country changing from a bread basket into a basket case – British Mp Demands Prime Minister condemn expropriation of land in SA

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa has attracted international attention over the last year after President Cyril Ramaphosa outlined plans for land reforms which would allow the Government to unilaterally expropriate land without compensation.

Mr Ramaphosa has repeatedly insisted the “stability of the country” would be at stake without the reform despite the outcry of white farmers claiming to be unjustly targeted by the seizure. Brexiteer Tory MP Andrew Bridgen urged Theresa May to speak out against the proposed reforms during a tense PMQs session.

The PM responded by quoting Ramaphosa’s assurance that the process will be legal without negatively influencing the country economically or socially.

Andrew Bridgen warned that South Africa is at the point of “…becoming just another African country changing from a bread basket into a basket case…”

Open sale of the old SA flag on Facebook has South Africans divided on its relevance in the new dispensation

Posted on Leave a comment

Shane Dion Naude advertised the flag for sale for R1,000 on Monday on the Table View Classifieds page on Facebook.

“The old SA flag. Good condition,” his post reads.

South Africans quickly reacted to the post with some calling for the flag to be burnt, while others defended Naude.

“Why don’t you do everyone a favour and burn that rag,” said Lee Engel.

Tony-Lee Field wrote: “Surely this piece of rubbish is not worth R1,000? Justifying this barbaric behaviour, perhaps you have something better to do with your time. If he needs money to feed his family for Christmas I’m sure there are other ways of going about it. I would have been happy to start up a drive for him and find a way to make sure he has a plate of food to eat but you and I both know this was for attention. A day after reconciliation day, coincidence? Nah man.”
