Thanks to the ruling ANC regime, SA’s economy outlook is getting worse with Eskom already plunging the country deeper into debt

Posted on Leave a comment

In an exclusive interview conducted by Die Vryburger with a well-known political analyst, it seems that 2019 is not a year of good prospects.

The anonymous expert says the projections are getting darker with Eskom, who is already plunging the country into debt with loadshedding.

In addition to the enormous R2 billion it cost daily to endure load shedding, it has a very negative impact on potential investors abroad.

The recession in which SA is currently, along with the tremendous debt burden of the state, forces the Finance Minister to take unfavorable measures to balance the scale, but cannot tamper with it because the election is at the door.

He says there is no reason to think that it will improve in the economic sphere in the second half of 2019, because the Rand is doubtful, gold mines are shaky because of the power supply’s load shedding, and this increases the possibility of higher unemployment. means that less personal tax i

ANC joiner, Max du Preez recently announced the return of his newspaper Vrye Weekblad after it was forced to close a quarter of a century ago – most likely he will use this online version as a tool to spread the ANC’s propaganda?

Posted on Leave a comment

The far-left Max du Preez will again try to get a newspaper going, but this time it will be an internet newspaper that will help him not to go away so soon after it has been rolled out.

Du Preez decided after 25 years to try again to start a newspaper, this time the Vrye newspaper in e-form.

The original Vrye Weekblad was instigated in the 1980s by Du Preez, due to a frustration that the mainstream press lacked the courage to tackle the apartheid state head-on, Vrye Weekblad investigated and published stories which exposed the involvement of state entities in torture, assassinations and bomb attacks of those opposed to apartheid.

A quarter of a century ago, Max was forced to close his newspaper’s door because no one really was interested in his far left view. We wonder how many supporters and readers he will gain from his own community?

Only senior ANC members have the sole right to elect SA’s president while expertise and reliability are not necessarily taken into account, meanwhile millions of voters must be satisfied with the decision

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s senior members are the only people who have the right to choose the country’s president while millions of voters must be satisfied with it.

Analysts say the state of affairs should be changed so that voters themselves can decide which person they want to vote as president of the country.

The opinion was expressed that the largest political party has the sole right to decide which of its members should be the president, while not taking into account expertise and reliability.

The upcoming election suggests that the Finance Minister will not make significant tax adjustments, as increased taxes could cost the ANC too many votes.

Loadshedding left a trail of destruction in South Africa, weakening the poor economy by at least R10bn; this should be a costly lesson for the Ramaphosa government

Posted on Leave a comment

The five days of loadshedding last week left a trail of destruction in South Africa, and should be an expensive lesson for the Ramaphosa government.

It was a week in which transformers exploded, damaging equipment in homes and industries, virtually irreparably damaging substations and even weakening the poor economy by at least R10bn.

The load shed reached its end on Friday when Eskom got diesel again to start its generators who had been idle for days because there was no fuel.

In Johannesburg, there were at least ten neighborhoods for hours without power, which led to the water supply stalling, leaving thousands of people distressed, but elsewhere in the country there was chaos reported in the media.

However, whether the load shedding is finally finished, experts are doubted as it will take a long time before everything returns to an “almost normal” period.

ANC-regime is blatantly misusing our money on its own election campaign, the Free State SOPA expenditure is going to cost the taxpayer more than R2 million

Posted on Leave a comment

The Free State’s State of the Province Address (SOPA) will probably cost taxpayers more than R2 million. The greater part of the expense was not budgeted for nor planned and yet the money has already been squandered without the necessary approval.

The extravagant expense becomes even more unacceptable and fruitless when one takes into account that there will be another SOPA after the elections later this year.

The ANC is misusing taxpayers’ money by furthering its own election campaign with official government functions.

This year’s SOPA, which will be held on Tuesday at the University of the Free State’s Vista campus, will once again be characterised by excessive expenditure. The service provider’s fee for organising the event currently amounts to approximately R1,8 million.

This amount excludes the fee for hiring the main venue (R156 000) as well as the fee for hiring a separate venue where nearly 1200 delegates will enjoy a l

Eskom and SA are paying an expensive price for ANC’s Affirmative Action Policy – white experienced and knowledgeable engineers are missing from the state entity and now experts have to come from abroad to save Eskom

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom and the government’s unwavering attitude to applying Affirmative Action (RA) is now costing South Africa. Due to RA, experienced and knowledgeable engineers have left Eskom and now the Minister of Public Enterprises, Mr. Pravin Gordhan, are asking them to help save Eskom.

The Freedom Front Plus has long warned that RA is harmful to Eskom, but also to South Africa. The concern has already emerged from a parliamentary question in 2011 by the leader of the Freedom Front Plus, dr. Pieter Groenewald, to the Minister of Public Enterprises, about the number of engineers, artisans and technicians who left Eskom.

According to the minister’s reply, from 2008 to March 2011, 455 engineers, of whom 110 were white, resigned from Eskom, and 13 were retired, 11 of whom were white. In the same period, 342 technicians resigned and 38 retired. (See attached reply from minister).

During the ANC regime, roughly R500 billion has been looted by Eskom contractors, which partly explains why South Africa is in such a big financial mess – it is unsure if the culprits will be brought to justice

Posted on Leave a comment

A Special Investigation Unit is currently investigation more than eleven contractors whom are suspected of robbing the power utility of billions of rand.

The contractors looted R130 billion from Eskom during the construction of the two new power stations, Medupi and Kusile as well as the Ingula power station.

From the so-called “inner circles” it is claimed that plundering at Eskom has been taken place since 2005, which partly explains why South Africa has ended up in a financial mess.

A spokesman said Eskom had been robbed of R170bn, of which R130bn was directly related to so-called contractors working at the different power plants.

Investigation is now being done to determine who has committed theft, and who worked within Eskom to benefit the thieves.

It’s no secret anymore that high ranking ANC members are involved in the huge corruption and fraud that SA’s economy is currently suffering from

Posted on Leave a comment

News highlights over the past year are increasingly seized by reports of high-ranking ANC supporters and government members involved, or suspended, or redeployed.

Every violation is due to misconduct, bribery and sexual harassment. Zuma and the Guptas were among the main role players.

The latest case is known as the ANC’s acting spokesperson, Zizi Kodwa, accused of rape by the ANC.

It only follows a week after Pile Mabe was found innocent by the ANC of sexual harassment, which is to many opinion makers’ expectations.

The ANC has referred the charge against Kodwa to law enforcement officers as the matter is “private”.

It could not be confirmed whether the complainant is also an ANC member. Kodwa is stating that the charges made against  him is done to political manipulate him and as well as an attempt of extortion.

ANC regime certainly did not do proper planning – Multi-million rand project undertaken by China in Northern Transvaal is being put on hold due to water shortage, compromising thousands of jobs

Posted on Leave a comment

The planned economic investment in the Far North Transvaal undertaken by China may be affected by a severe shortage of water.

This project, which will amount to R150 billion, will provide thousands of jobs, but may be delayed due to a severe shortage of water.

The area where the project is in the identified zone requires a total of 123 million cubic meters of water per year for the Musina area.

Mining operations, together with the establishment of a power station, various agricultural crop plantations, and a silicone plant form part of the project, which provides for approximately 21,000 jobs.

However, experts argue that the project can only be sustainable if provision is made in time for storage dams for enough water.

The Magistrate Commission, which met on February 22, decided to give the suspicious magistrate the opportunity to respond to the allegations that he had made improvements of about R200,000 in security equipment at his home with Bosasa’s “help .
