Another black school up in flames reducing the number of schools for black learners

Posted on 01/16/2020 Leave a comment

Another school was burned down by the country’s “barbarians” reducing the number of schools meant for blacks.

The school, located in the Vanderbijlpark location, is an elementary school that suddenly leaves a large number of pupils without a classroom.

Although the authorities have ordered an investigation into the incident, it is the work of vandals who decided to burn down the school just a day before the first day of the term.

The Tokelo Secondary School in Evaton, started burning in the early hours of the morning, and no trace of the culprits was found.

The fire reportedly caused a loss of more than R4m and repairs are only expected to begin after the investigation has been completed.

Eskom with a debt burden of R450 billion may be the downfall of ANC regime

Posted on 01/16/2020 Leave a comment

Political analysts say the actions of high-ranking officials in Eskom could lead to the demise of the ANC government.

The pressure is mounting on the ruling ANC regime from the inner circles as well as opposing structures as well as from extreme groups to act against those responsible for the mess in which the power supplier is currently facing its debt burden of R450 billion.

The claims are varied, but many expect the ANC to take action against Public Enterprise Minister Pravin Gordhan, who is closely concerned with Eskom’s problems.

The Red Brigade is demanding Gordhan’s sacking, while Deputy President David Mabuza himself helped to throw Gordhan under the bus.

There is also a feud against Ramaphosa, from people who believe he should have forced Eskom to stay with his company in order not to employ any loadshedding before January 13.

With all the turmoil, this could eventually lead to the disintegration of the ANC, wh

Several comments were posted on their Facebook page.

The national zoological gardens are the largest zoo in the country but visitors felt that management was failing to provide a suitable habitat for the animals.

Concern was raised about allegedly underfed animals, the bad smell at the flamingos enclosure, some of the animals’ water that has not been replaced in days, and the elephants’ enclosure had no water during December’s scorching heat in Pretoria.

An animal lover who recently visited the zoo and asked to remain anonymous said that justice must be done.

“The animals are in bad condition. It looks like some of the animals have not been fed in da

Posted on 01/15/2020 Leave a comment

Late businessman, Richard Maponya, who owned a string of businesses in Soweto, including the famous Maponya Mall in Pimville, was laid to rest at West Park Cemetery in Johannesburg on Tuesday, January 14, 2020.

Maponya’s funeral service was held at the University of Johannesburg Soweto Campus on Tuesday morning. Ramaphosa declared the funeral a Special Official Funeral, category 2 – which meant that all state flags had to be flown at half-mast until the evening of the burial.

In full recognition that this was a funeral, so we respect the family. But if the top brass of the SAPS can’t even march -it looked like a circus!

Patricia De Lille says more needs to be done to ensure people who work for the state don’t do business with the department

The ANC apparently paid R127 000-00 for the cake on tender.

Posted on 01/14/2020 Leave a comment

A few years ago, the then ANC City Council of Sasolburg paid for a tap repair of R250 000-00. Do you remember the gate of Estina’s farm that costed R9 000 000-00 and Ace Magashule’s website of R40 000 000-00?
Then some wonder how we could “lose” Trillions since ’94.

Brace yourself for stage 8 #RollingBlackOuts or 10-hour daily blackout, as municipalities are preparing for the worst

Posted on 01/14/2020 Leave a comment

Eskom was forced to implement stage 6 load shedding in December – its worst ever blackout – sending the country into a panic as not many people were aware of what that stage actually meant for them.

Municipalities too, were caught off-guard, with Johannesburg electricity distributor City Power saying at the time that it had no load-shedding schedule for Stage 6.

The year is 2020, and generation and maintenance challenges continue to mount at the state company which generates 96% of South Africa’s electricity.

As a result, all municipalities have been advised to adjust their load shedding schedule up to stage 8, the Buffalo City Municipality said in a statement on Saturday (11 January).

With each stage representing a curtailment of 5% of the national load, stage 8 will equate to 40% of the load being shed, the municipality said.

Under the previous load shedding schedule, four stages were implemented with between 1,000 MW and 4

Grade 9 Certificate almost official – learners will now be able to leave school sooner and of course unemployment rate will also rise

Posted on 01/14/2020 Leave a comment

Cyril Ramaphosa approved the proposed education policy that allows learners to leave school in grade 9. The move will allow learners to obtain a Grade 9 certificate and enter the workforce.

Angie Motshekga criticized her proposal for her fierce criticism but it now becomes official ANC policy. According to Ramaphosa, the move will focus on integrating learners sooner into the country’s workforce and the country’s economy.

With a matric certificate already worth little more than the paper on which it is printed, the step should be seen as an attempt to “improve” matric results due to a large number of learners leaving school at an early age.

Educators point out that the matrices do not find work, and that the Grade 9 pupils that leave school will increase the unemployment rate that will affect t SA to be graded more quickly to junk status in the economic field.
