It’s time to man up, Cyril – Ramaphoria is dead and SA is in the toilet

Posted on Leave a comment

Femicide, rape, murder, a tanking economy – everything’s getting worse, and action from the top is our only hope

SA is in a terrible spiral of negativity. The past two weeks have been horrendous: men killing women, men raping children, supposedly “pro-poor” politicians like Julius Malema allegedly feeding himself from monies stolen from grandmothers’ pensions at VBS Bank, the country’s finances in a terrible state and about to be tipped into junk status, the crime statistics worse than they have ever been – and the economy continuing in the downward spiral it’s been on for ages.

Lest we forget, Hlaudi Motsoeneng appeared at the Zondo commission into state capture and reminded all of us just how absolutely horrific, low-grade and corrupt the past 10 years of our lives were. If you want to see the epitome of a failed state, you just have to listen to any five minutes of his appearance at the commission this past week and you would w

SA’s fiscal position – Great possibility that economy will be downgraded to junk status

Posted on Leave a comment

Tito Mboweni is expected to paint a gloomy picture of the country’s fiscal position later this month.

The agency Moody’s has had a fairly stable rating so far, but economists warn that the view may change to negative.

Moody’s has already made “negative” comments at its quarterly conference last week. The chance that SA will be finally downgraded to junk status is a possibility, and this is due to the poor growth and continuous cash injection into the country’s bankrupt state intimacies such as Evkom, SAA, Denel and SABC.

278 pieces of state land identified for redistribution in the Western Cape – more land that would become useless when distributed among incompetent people

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s deputy president, David Mabuza, says the government has already identified 278 pieces of state land in the Western Cape that could be used for redistribution.

Mabuza was the speaker at an event in the Western Cape and used the opportunity to praise the province’s Prime Minister, Alan Winde, saying “he is a very good man”.

Asked about economic prospects, Mabuza said the government is working to implement the National Development Plan, but economists say nothing has come of it and is a stillborn plan.

It is suspected that the hundreds of pieces of land will also be useless when it is distributed to untrained people.

Malfunctioning ANC regime is pushing agriculture across an economic abyss and is calling for the destruction of SA’s food security

Posted on Leave a comment

The TAU is of the opinion that the malfunctioning ANC government is actively pushing the agricultural sector across an economic abyss and is calling for the accelerating rate of destruction of South Africa’s food security.

This according to Mr. Johan Steyn, Chairman: TAU SA Eastern Cape, following the revelation that the government could not convince the World Animal Health Organization (EIA) to declare South Africa as foot-and-mouth free.

“According to our information, the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development and Land Reform was supposed to make two submissions to the EIA,” he says. “The purpose of this was to restore our country’s foot-and-mouth disease status. At the first submission, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute (OVI) did not want to release the serological results because the OVI department owes money. With the second submission that was due to take place, Onderstepoort was unable to analyze because no sampl

South-Africa: Since apartheid was abolished, 1,000,000 people have been raped, 500,000 killed

Posted on Leave a comment

According to the Institute of Racial Relations (IRV), crime statistics look like a low-intensity civil war and SA is still losing the fight against crime.

The people of the country are living under an impending cloud of anarchy every day. The Institute shows that murders have risen to 21,000 over the past year and SA is being compared to a country like Syria. The rape figure looks even worse with two rapes for each murder committed. Since apartheid was abolished, 1,000,000 people have been raped and 500,000 killed.

Commercial crime increased by 14%. More than 83,000 cases have been reported to the police. The offenses include fraud, corruption, money laundering, forgery and cyber crimes. Robberies have exceeded the 140,000 notch while truck hijackings show more than 1,180 reported cases.

South Africa’s murder rate has increased by 5,8 percent compared with the previous year.

Experts strike back at Zulu king after he tried to stick his nose into state affairs

Posted on Leave a comment

Experts from the South African constitution say it is striking, but unsolicited, that the Zulu king Goodwill seeks to exert influence on matters of the state.

Zwelithini was apparently disgusted because he was not even approached before the Minister of Police would talk to hostel residents’ leaders.

It is clear that Goodwill is attempting a power play, but it is also clear to experts that he has no idea of the Constitution’s provisions.

There is no reason for the minister to get “approval” from the Zulu king before he wants to talk to hostel leaders about the xenophobic cases.

A meeting with hostel leaders from Jeppestown and surrounding areas from where many attacks were made on strangers was planned to take place over the weekend and is the main center where 12 people were killed.

However, Zwelithini’s bossy attitude made him look ridiculous and ignorant, a political expert and Constitution expert la

Pay back the money Zuma! – Nkandla in VBS liquidators’ vision – cough up R7m or lose Nkandla

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s Jacob Zuma is in a big financial crisis with his multi-million Rand loan he received from bankrupt VBS Mutual Bank and now has to pay back the money.

Along with that, there are the million Rand court costs to be paid while more court cases are being filed in an effort to be cleared of the debt.

The amount of more than R7 million borrowed from VBS can be claimed any day, and then Nkandla can be compromised.

Although the Nkandla complex was but controversially erected with the largest share of the cost financed from the state coffers, it is doubted how much the real value of the property is being erected in a strange rural area.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Zuma is also still a full year in arrears with the payment of his loan.

According to News24, VBS Mutual Bank’s liquidator, Anoosh Rooplal, has filed an application with the Pietermaritzburg High Court for an order that will force Zuma to pay, or an or

Bankrupt Eskom pleads for another government bailout as debt climbs beyond R450bn

Posted on Leave a comment

The power utility’s debt is reaching levels beyond R450 billion and Mabuza was in Parliament on Tuesday asking government for more money.

Eskom CEO and board chairperson Jabu Mabuza said the power utility’s debt levels have reached the ceiling.

Eskom’s debt is reaching levels beyond R450 billion and Mabuza was in Parliament on Tuesday asking government for more money.

He said the power utility has not done enough to generate more revenue.

The acting CEO also admitted that Eskom was borrowing money to pay off its debt.

“Our revenue over the past 10 years, increasingly so over the last five years, has actually been flat to about 1% per year. On the other side, we’ve had a ballooning debt that we have not been able to collect which has totalled to R38 billion.”

Mabuza said the only function Eskom could control was its own expenses.

Finance Minister Tito Mboweni tabled a bill before the National Assembly i

Ramaphosa’s praises of dictator Mugabe is a slap in the face of millions of Zimbabwean residents who had to flee the country

Posted on Leave a comment

ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa’s praise of Robert Mugabe has drawn sharp criticism from his own and liberal ranks.

Ramaphosa’s description of Mugabe as an “outstanding leader” in Africa, according to the media, is a slap in the face of millions of Zimbabwean residents who had to flee to SA because of Mugabe’s policies and human rights violations. Ramaphosa is now openly described as characterless and a chameleon who will say so today and tomorrow will change his position again just in favor of his listeners.

The views that show that things are going even worse with South Africa than Zuma was in power are accepted from several places, and there is the suspicion that he will not serve as president for long.
