R84 million Free State Cuban Technical Advisers Program died a sudden death without solving the “water problem”

Posted on 11/26/2019 Leave a comment

The Secretary-General of the ANC, and former Prime Minister of the Free State, Ace Magashule’s plan to bring Cuban engineers to South Africa to solve the Free State’s “water problems”, then wasted millions of Rand.

The so-called Cuban engineers were welcomed with a huge ceremony when they came here from Cuba for four years.

Of the 37 Cubans, who spent them as engineers, only three remain in the Free State.

Mgasjule’s impressive “Free State Cuban Technical Advisers Program, which cost taxpayers more than R84 million, then died, like so many other projects, in sudden death without the” water problem “being solved.

The eminent engineers, whose qualifications are not recognized in South Africa, also had to see that service delivery in the Free State municipalities was increased, could not make do with the ANC workers, and no positive results were achieved.

27 top black executives were asked to be Eskom CEO – They all said no

Posted on 11/25/2019 Leave a comment

While the government has been criticised for selecting a white executive as Eskom CEO, a new report from the Sunday Times states that 27 black executives were offered the position first.

They all declined.

The report stated that Eskom created a list of the executives it would like for the role of CEO and hired a recruitment agency to contact them.

“All of them said no. A lot of black executives don’t want anything to do with state-owned entities,” a government source told the newspaper.

This was due to the expected political interference and the fact that state-owned enterprises have “ruined a lot of careers and expectations”.

This list reportedly included Eskom board members Nelisiwe Magubane and Sifiso Dabengwa.

Following the lack of interest from these executives, it was announced that Nampak CEO Andre de Ruyter would take the position at the head of Eskom.

Vandals tear R6.6m car wash apart, Tshwane spokesperson blames the weather

Posted on 11/25/2019 Leave a comment

A multimillion-rand car wash project owned by the city of Tshwane which was meant to create jobs for the youth of Mamelodi and invigorate the economy of the township, has descended into dilapidation.

SowetanLIVE reported that the Reitiretse integrated vehicle washing facility in Mamelodi west has been stripped by criminals, before it even opened its doors.

The R6.6m facility now looks a far cry from the day it was launched amid fanfare in November 2015.

When Sowetan visited the facility on Thursday, the structures had lost their roofs and door frames, while the toilet block has been stripped of the toilet seats and basins. The windows and other fittings had been vandalised.

Reitiretse was launched by former Tshwane mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa and Gauteng premier David Makhura. At the time, the car wash premises included a fully equipped laundromat and a fully equipped hair salon.

Located near Mamelodi’s major thoroughfare, Tsa

Former Minister charged with fraud involving state capture investigation

Posted on 11/22/2019 Leave a comment

ANC MP and former State Security Minister Bongani Bongo appeared briefly in the Cape Magistrate’s Court after being arrested by the Hawks on alleged corruption charges.

He is being investigated after interfering with the Parliamentary inquiry into state capture. Bongo allegedly tried to bribe an advocate who would give witnesses about the state hijacking at Eskom.

Bongo’s sudden rise in party ranks has raised his eyebrows for three years before his appointment as minister and his close relationship with Jacob Zuma is no secret.

Malema is unmasked as a complete liar after video leak where he assaults police officer

Posted on 11/22/2019 Leave a comment

Julius Malema was caught with a video recording that he lied about his involvement with a police officer’s altercation during a Mandela funeral.

The Red Brigade leader said he had a fight with the officer, and he and his party’s spokesman, one Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, did not contact the police officer.

Now the leader and his accomplice are in greater trouble because he lied because the video footage clearly shows how the two rebels physically attacked the police officer in April last year.

Malema told the media there was no truth in the allegation that the officer had been attacked, but was probably unaware that the incident was captured on video.

It is considered a very serious crime to physically oppose a police officer, and the suspicion exists that it could be another serious case in court.

Transnet wasted almost R50 billion, most of which is used to buy trains that cannot be used in SA

Posted on 11/22/2019 Leave a comment

State-owned entities are currently under considerable pressure and there is doubt as to how many of them have the ability to continue without the necessary financial assistance.

This is the opinion of Auditor-General Kimi Makwetu, who last week released a national and provincial auditor’s report for the period 2028-2019 in Cape Town.

He says there are weaknesses in the performance of many entities and the roughly 14 state-run institutions that are heavily subsidized by the state and the ANC government apparently did not contribute much to improving their results.

The 14 institutions also spent R1.4bn on illegal spending, and may be further investigated with further investigations.

Denel, the SABC, SA Express shipping company, and the SA Forestry Company are some of the biggest offenders of wrongful expenses incurred.

With Transnet wasting nearly R50bn, the bulk of which has been used to buy trains that cannot be used in SA, a

SAA: More unions want to strike after Gordhan’s attempt at wage and severance dispute fails

Posted on 11/22/2019 Leave a comment

In support of Numsa’s strike, and in opposition to the view of ANC minister Pravin Gordhan, more unions have indicated that they will join the strike.

The circumstances in which SAA currently finds itself have left the state-controlled entity in unsustainable status, and the entry of Pravin Gordhan has increased the bitterness and power building on both sides.

Gordhan’s attempt to settle the dispute over wages and retrenchments failed, thereby extending the strike, which would mean millions of Rand per day to losses for the already bankrupt entity.

There are apparently insufficient funds to pay the staff at the end of November, and the huge debt burden will not come to an end without a radical intervention.

True to their actions, the unions once again help push the entity further into the abyss with their unrealistic wage demands.

Numsa also expects SAA not to apply any retrenchments, which means that the national airca

Refugees have decided to go on mass exodus out of South-Africa due to ANC-regime’s insensitive action against them

Posted on 11/22/2019 Leave a comment

The so-called refugees in Cape Town, now housed in the Methodist Church after clashing with police, apparently want to leave the country in in mass Exodus format.

Their spokesmen said it was the only way they could draw the world’s attention to the ANC government’s insensitive action against them.

The refugees had previously gathered at the United Nations offices but were driven out by police, but the SA Human Rights Commission has given its support to the refugees, saying the police should stop their creating action.

About 200 of the refugees have since left the church building following discussions with church leaders and human rights representatives.

Shortly thereafter, the same thing happened in Pretoria when refugees also clashed with police in front of the offices of the UN Refugee Agency.

During the clashes, about 24 police officers were injured and numerous refugees sustained serious injuries condemned by human
