Bloemfontein Now Literally A Pig Sty As Black Farmers Let Their Pigs Eat From The Piles Of Uncollected Refuse Bags in The Suburbs!

Posted on Leave a comment

The Once Proud Boer City Nicknamed Rosestad Is No More. Tuesday was the 12th day in which garbage was not collected by the municipality of Bloemfontein, causing mountains of black refuse bags to lie uncollected in the streets in neighborhoods like Pelissier and Lourierpark. Small-scale black farmers close by have been letting their pigs invade the neighbourhoods, ripping  open the refuse bags looking for food, leaving a big mess.

Rossouw Botes, a DA councillor from Bloemfontein, says the pigs come from squatter camps in the vicinity where the small-scale black farmers don’t give the pigs enough food causing them to be hungry. A spokesperson of Bloemfontein municipality told Netwerk24 that a diesel shortage is the reason why refuse is not being removed. Rossouw says that the provincial government is supposed to give Bloemfontein R1,4 billion but this is not forthcoming and officials of Bloemfontein, which is under provincial administration, are too scar

Eskom is now clearly lying, obfuscating and playing with words after it came to light that they are planning to pay out R1, 8 billion in bonuses by saying that it is 13th cheques, not bonuses.

Posted on Leave a comment

Take into consideration that it was Nersa – National Energy Regulator of South Africa – that called it bonuses in court papers, which is obviously statements made under oath.

Does Eskom now wants us to believe them over Nersa?
Eskom is now playing word and mind games with us by saying that it is 13th cheques, not bonuses . They also say that not all employees are entitled to these 13th cheques. That is where the lie alarm is going off and red flags are going up. What kind of employer does not give a uniform salary structure to its employees? Eskom also says. that employees can choose themselves if they want their total salary package to be divided into 12 or 13 cheques

So if we follow what Eskom has lied, we can then logically conclude that if an employee choose to have 13 pay packages per year and still gets an amount only intended for some employees, but not all, that amount only due for some is in fact a 14th cheque then.

12 Army members arrested for the disappearance of nineteen R4 assault rifles are set free on a mere warning

Posted on Leave a comment

The military court released 12 army members with only a warning after they were arrested in connection with the disappearance of nineteen R4 assault rifles.

The army members were arrested between December 24 and 27, 2019 on charges of housebreaking, theft and negligent loss of firearms after the disappearance of the weapons from the storeroom on their base.

The suspects, including captains, lieutenants, sergeants, and staff sergeants, were denied bail a week ago because the investigating officer and the then presiding military judge feared they might interfere with the investigation and evidence. It was then postponed for further investigation until Friday.

Their release is subject to various conditions, including moving the four officers and eight deputy officers from the Lyttelton Tek base in Centurion to other units in the Pretoria area.

According to reports from Network 24, Brian Plaatjies, the attorney for 11 of the accused, as well

Posted on Leave a comment

The government are trying to kill rumours and denies that the minimum pass requirements for math for gr. 7 to gr. 9 are reduced to 20%. However, education unions believe this is not the biggest concern facing this sector at present. Chris Klopper, chief executive of the South African Teachers Union said on Monday that..

Largest and busiest police station in Free State in dire condition – Once again proof that the current government cannot maintain the country’s infrastructure

Posted on Leave a comment

The Park Road police station located in the Free State, Bloemfontein is by far the busiest and largest police station in the province. Unfortunately, the ANC regime allowed this building to operate without the necessary amenities, it was demolished halfway and had to operate without holding cells for more than a year.

Since the building is inoperative, approximately 50 detainees who have to appear in courts must be transported daily under police supervision to and from neighbouring detention cells situated in Bainsvlei, Bot-shabelo and Petrusburg.

Renovation work at the Park Road police station began in November 2017 after a R73 million contract was awarded to Soaring Summit Development, but according to Public Works Minister Patricia de Lille, the company failed to meet the timeframes and expectations. Their contract came to and end on August 2 this year.

However, according to reports from Network 24, the construction has ceased about a year ag

Debt ridden Eskom shutting down power plants it can’t afford to fix and increasing the risk of #rollingblackouts- We can thank the incompetent ANC-regime for this!

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom has permanently shut down several power generation units at older power stations due to its inability to fix them, the Sunday Times reports.

This decision has cut the power utility’s available electrical capacity to meet demand, which may increase the risk of load-shedding going forward.

Eskom said that the old power generation units at Hendrina, Grootvlei, and Komati which have been taken offline are not included in the utility’s current generation capacity of 46,000MW, despite not being formally decommissioned.

After shutting down older power plants, Eskom said it planned to resolve the problems at its newest Medupi and Kusile power stations, which have cost the company a significant amount while producing disappointing results.
Massive debt

Despite posting a R1.3-billion profit in the six months through September 2019, Eskom anticipates a R20-billion loss for the full year.

Eskom’s debt burden rose to R454 bill

ANC wants to speed up expropriation process during Christmas holiday season

Posted on Leave a comment

The process to amend section 25 of the Constitution in order to fast-track expropriation without compensation suddenly gathered speed on Tuesday when a draft bill to amend the Constitution was tabled by the parliamentary legal services.

The Constitution Eighteenth Amendment Bill was tabled at a sitting of the ad hoc committee tasked with amending the Constitution.

This first bite at the wording of the constitutional amendment states that when the state and the land owner cannot agree on the price to be paid, a country may – where land and any improvements thereon are expropriated for the purposes of land reform – determine that the amount of compensation is nil.

Parliamentary legal services furthermore proposed inclusion of a section which requires national legislation to set out specific circumstances where a court may determine that the amount of compensation is nil.

The draft bill does not delete any part of the Constitution, but a

ANC’s failed Medupi not only poorly erected, but also poses great dangers to man, animal and environment due to toxic gases released

Posted on Leave a comment

The Madupi power plant approved by the ANC regime to be erected is not only an economic disaster, but also poses the danger of harming human lives.

The power plant is not only poorly erected but took years to be finalized and still cannot deliver its full capacity.

Madupi was constructed differently from the conventional power plants, and is described as the “new dry-cooled” coal power station.

When the power station is complete and at full capacity, it will be the world’s largest “dry-cooled” power station.

Economists and environmental experts have already warned that doing 2020 off the country’s biggest coal power plant could lead to serious financial as well as climate disasters still seen in SA.

Experts say Madupi will become one of the country’s biggest dangers to people and the environment with its poisonous gases being emitted, and will also be the largest entity in terms of air and environm

Madupi still not complete after 12 years – It is a wonder that they haven’t blamed old Jan yet!

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom says the Medupi power station’s Phase 2 stage is in operation, making it part of the power supply’s overall electricity output.

The announcement comes 12 years after the first donation was made to set up Medupi, but during that time, South Africa paid much more for the erection than initially budgeted.

In addition to building the power plant more than 200% more expensive, the cost of more than R150bn has shown that South Africa is not only irresponsible in managing its spending, but is also equally irresponsible in appointing those who had to do the erection.

Economists say the construction of Medupi and Kusile power plants eventually totaled R234 billion, but informed sources indicate that much more money is needed to bring the two power plants to full capacity.

The cost of the two exchanges further increased South Africa’s enormous debt burden, and analysts reckon it will take at least 40 years before Eskom&#8217

Even if you are the president of SA you are not above the law! – Ramaphosa faces possible Labour Court action for retrenching farm staff

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s president is not above the law, and his so-called cases of dismissing 22 of his 46 farm workers could land him in the Labor Court. Cyril Ramaphosa dismissed the farm workers in his service, and used the excuse that it was a business decision because foot-and-mouth disease could threaten his cattle herd. No one has yet been able to explain what the illness has to do with his staff’s dismissal, and now unions apparently want to drag their president to the Labor Court.

The farm workers’ union, Fawu, is apparently at the forefront and has threatened to take President Cyril Ramaphosa to task over allegations that he retrenched over half of his Ntaba Nyoni farm staff, in October. According to the union they are protecting their members against “unlawful” retrenchment, but whether the union has the courage to act against its president will learn the time, political analysts say. What is unfair, however, is that the pr
