Shale Gas energy can help Eskom to contribute to greener economy, it is a pity that there is no money for this initiative and underground water can be destroyed

Posted on Leave a comment

Experts believe the solutions to all of Eskom’s problems lie in converting to gas to eliminate coal pollution.

The investigation shows that gas will eventually be cheaper than coal, while the gas plant will cause about 80% less air pollution.

However, the conversion will be accompanied by high expenses, and the power supplier does not have a single cent to accomplish it.

In addition to the cost of conversion, there is the fear that renewed efforts will be made to mine the Great Karoo for underground gas, while destroying the region’s underground water.

A Brazilian expert says they have gained years of experience with clean energy systems such as hydro-energy generation, sugarcane and ethanol, which can all help to produce cleaner generation.

Will it be the final downfall of the controversial e-Toll system?

Posted on Leave a comment

Talks between the ANC Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, and the representatives of the AA as well as those of Outa, give the impression that the system may be tilted.

Mbalula says the opportunity was created to jointly decide on the e-toll system, which indicates that the Outa battle may eventually be the winner.

Opinionists believe the involvement of the AA suggests that a calculation of how to increase the fuel price may be needed to replace the e-toll.

The e-toll was disputed from the outset, and motorists have since refused to settle the accounts, which has resulted in an unusually large loss.

SA is collapsing and the bad conditions will put residents at the same level as Zimbabwe’s people

Posted on Leave a comment

Political analysts say that conditions in South Africa are now deteriorating by the day, and the bad conditions are now putting residents at the same level as in Zimbabwe.

The police service that has lost thousands of rounds of ammunition without any action being taken against the culprits indicates the dire security situation that prevails.

The country’s Defense Force was evaluated by experts about two years ago and it was found that its hitting power is now no better than it was in the 1930s when the the Air Force had more pilots than are currently employed after the best ones have already left the country.

The prospect that the government now wants to activate the so-called “National Health Plan” means that two things are waiting for the Westerners in the country:

That is, they will eventually no longer have a Medical Aid, and secondly, the health plan will follow the same route as Eskom, Denel, SABC, SAA, and others that are und

God Help us! No health care facility in Gauteng controlled by ANC regime could pass safety audit – Now the very same regime wants to enforce a National Health Insurance Plan across SA

Posted on Leave a comment

No healthcare facility in Gauteng was able to successfully pass a safety audit that complies with the Occupational Safety Act of SA (OHSA),according to a statement issued by DA Health spokesman Jack Bloom on Thursday. This means that all hospitals and clinics in Gauteng pose a safety risk to staff and patients.

It ranges from overcrowding to emergency departments, leaky roofs, non-functional air conditioning and non-standard kitchens.

This highlights how unprepared the state is for the planned National Health Insurance to be introduced.

Informed sources believe it is better not to go to the hospitals, as the risk of just being further affected or even die, has become too great.

“This information about the shock state of healthcare facilities is revealed by Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku in a written response to questions in the Gauteng Legislature,” Bloom said.

The following facilities performed the worst:

Eskom may be peddling its problems – now wants to sell some of its power plants to cut losses due to maintenance costs

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom plans to sell off its power plants in order to get rid of the bigger problems in the industry.

Informed sources told Die Vryburger that Eskom wants to sell its power plants that require large maintenance costs and are guilty of the huge pollution in certain areas such as the Eastern Transvaal to private entrepreneurs.

Eskom’s financial crisis does not allow him to do proper maintenance and end the huge air pollution, and now it seems that he would prefer to sell such power plants.

Eskom has still focused on the possibility of nuclear power generation, but the bankrupt entity will not be able to raise the funds for it.

It is always about race! Great dissatisfaction under ANC government because white men hold most management positions – capable men now have to make room for incompetent BEE candidate

Posted on Leave a comment

Great unhappiness exists in the ANC government because white men are allegedly still holding the largest number of executive positions.

The ANC’s Minister of Labor, Thulas Nxesi, said this week that there are too many companies that are not pursuing government targets.

He says the companies that do not reach the targets should be punished, which could mean that the government will force them to achieve the set goals.

He says Section 53 of the Employment Equity Act will be promulgated to compel companies that do not meet the requirements because it has been established for more than 20 years that “democracy” has been established.

The businesses that are still successfully run with knowledgeable white men have no reason to dismiss such a person, said one expert.

SA citizens could start withholding their tax payments due to years of ANC-corruption which might force the country to seek an international bailout

Posted on Leave a comment

Chief of the revenue service, Edward Kieswetter said on Monday that South Africans could start withholding their tax payments due to years of corruption which might force the country to seek an international bailout.

Africa’s most industrialised economy has seen revenue collection fall sharply since 2015 due to weak economic growth and maladministration, leading President Cyril Ramaphosa to fire the revenue service boss last November in the wake of a judicial inquiry that has triggered an executive clean out.

New Revenue Service (Sars) commissioner Edward Kieswetter, hired in March, told a tax conference in Johannesburg that falling trust in the collector by individuals and companies had led to rising levels of tax avoidance and fraud, bleeding billions from government.

When public trust wanes, as is the current case, then taxpayers feel morally justified to withhold or manipulate their taxes,” Kieswetter said.

“When revenue collect

SAPS R20 billion budget cuts could lead to a loss of 23 000 personnel over next 3 years

Posted on Leave a comment

On Wednesday, in the Portfolio Committee of Police, the South African Police Service (SAPS) announced that National Treasury has instructed SAPS to cut their budget through a 5%, 6% and 7% baseline reduction over the next three years, which may ultimately result in a loss of 23 000 personnel. This shocking announcement comes at a time when the majority of South Africans feel increasingly unsafe in their communities, due to escalating levels of violence and crime.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has proposed an alternative, yet constructive, budget proposal, which considers cutting VIP protection costs instead of other police programmes. The VIP protection budget allocation amounts to approximately R10 million per individual, per year, with an approximate Cabinet cost to taxpayers amounting to R631 million yearly.

It is unconscionable that National Treasury would request SAPS budget cuts, when our police service is already severely under-capacitated and un

ANC-regime’s ‘Two-year’ matric grand plan flops as only 8% of progressed pupils pass – But they still blame Verwoerd for the current flaws in education system?

Posted on Leave a comment

The government’s grand move to have “progressed” matric pupils write their exams over two years has bombed – only 8% passed

The results of these pupils, who were pushed into matric after failing grade 11 more than once, were disclosed to the Sunday Times by the department of basic education last week.

SA’s latest matric pass rate is 8%. It was achieved by “progressed” pupils — those pushed into grade 12 after failing grade 11 more than once — and who were given two years to write matric.

Of the 78,363 of these pupils who wrote their final school exams in November and June, 6,320 passed.

Education experts who spoke to the Sunday Times this week said the pupils had been set up for failure because the plan was based on an incorrect assumption that a lowered workload would lead to better results.

Professor Labby Ramrathan of the University of KwaZulu-Natal said the progressed pupils had “conceptual d
