‘You will regret it in 30 years time’: Tito Mboweni on scrapping Afrikaans at UP

Posted on Leave a comment

Finance minister Tito Mboweni ruffled feathers after tweeting that he disagrees with the removal of Afrikaans as a medium language of instruction at the University of Pretoria.

As of 2019, English is the medium language of teaching for all first-year classes at the university after AfriForum Youth and Solidarity lost a high court battle in 2016 to challenge the language policy.

Former University of the Witwatersrand vice-principal Tawana Kupe took up his position as the first black vice-chancellor at the University of Pretoria, placing racial transformation of academic staff at the centre of his agenda.

Mboweni’s tweet triggered much debate and responses, as the minister firmly stood by his opinion.

Discrimination against whites continues – FeesMustFall activist’s public violence is left “unpunished” while Vicky Momberg, who used the “k-word”, is sentenced to two years in prison

Posted on Leave a comment

FeesMustFall’s, Bongisnkosi Lhanyile is found guilty of public violence complaints and sentenced to three years’ house arrest and a R5000 fine. It seems as if discrimination against whites continues, because Vicky Momberg, who used the so-called “k-word”, is sentenced to two years in prison.

Opinion polls say the left-wing FW de Klerk may be right if he says the legal system in SA is crooked.

Lhanyile is still allowed to attend classes at the University of Natal and has to do community service  for only eight hours a month.

Questions are asked about how it is possible to be under house arrest and then do community service.

Left-wing media and its journalists were apparently bribed by Bosasa and form part of the corruption scandal

Posted on Leave a comment

Former Bosasa chief, Angelo Agrizzi, has been rattling the cages  of the so called left-wing media and journalists when he named the names of journalists who are part of the corruption scandal. This all happened during the court procedure where he was giving evidence on day seven.

According to Agrizze, as much as R30,000 a month was paid to journalists to write positive reports about Bosasa, but there are also journalists who refuse to admit they were bribed.

One company director asked for R71,000 to be paid, of which R30,000 has to be set aside for journalists, which, according to observers, is indicative of the extent of the Bosasa corruption network.

Trustworthiness of Ramaphosa under scrutiny – Not once, when he was part of the ANC-regime’s system in the Zuma-era did he ever said a word regarding the grand-scale corruption to the collapse of the economy to state capture

Posted on Leave a comment

For 4 years as second in command to Jacob Zuma as deputy-president he never saw any corruption, he never heard of any corruption, and he never spoke against corruption? Who is he trying to fool?

The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) on Monday published a scathing open letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa, criticising him for being “in the belly of the beast which was the [Jacob] Zuma administration”.

In a statement issued on the IFP’s official website, Mkhuleko Hlengwa, IFP national spokesperson, writes: “Utterances attributed to you that in Davos you spoke of ‘nine wasted years’ under Mr Zuma have taken me aback with a sense of shock as they are said with a very opportunistic view to distance yourself from the grave realities of those years, particularly for the poor majority as we saw everything from grand-scale corruption to the collapse of the economy to state capture.

Ramaphosa has, in several speeches, referred

Jong dokters, wat deur die ANC regime verplig word om sogenaamde gemeenskapsdiens te doen nadat hulle af studeer, is nou nog nie betaal vir dienste gelewer vir Januarie

Posted on Leave a comment

Sowat 200 jong dokters wat uitgeplaas is in die Sentraal Transvaal omgewing deur die Gauteng Departement van Gesondheid, is woedend omdat die verskuldigde salarisse nie betaal word nie.

Met die opmerking, “Geen betaling, geen werk” het die jong geleerdes hulle stem duidelik laat hoor nadat die Departement in gebreke gebly het om hulle te betaal.

Die Departement het glo erken dat hulle verwag dat die dokters nie sal opdaag vir werk nie aangesien hulle Januarie vergoeding nie betaal is nie.

Die jong dokters, wat deur die ANC regime verplig word om sogenaamde gemeenskapsdiens te doen nadat hulle af studeer het, is egter daaraan skuldig dat hulle met die dokters se toekoms speel deur hulle nie te betaal vir dienste gelewer nie.

Algemene Bestuurder van die Raad van Mediese skemas word geskors daarna aan die lig gekom het dat hy raad mislei het rondom besluite geneem ten gunste van seker organisasies

Die Raad van Mediese Skemas het hul Algemene Bestuurder, Stehen Mmatli geskors.

Hy word daarvan beskuldig dat hy die Raad doelbewus mislei het rondom besluite wat geneem is ten gunste van sekere organisasies.

Hy is glo finansieel vergoed vir die “gunste” wat hy aan die partye betoon het en dui op die korrupsie wat tans die nuusblaaie se voorblad oorheers.

“’N Fluitjieblaaier het beweer dat Mmatli die reguleerder van die mediese skemasbedryf doelbewus mislei het om besluite ten gunste van sekere organisasies te neem. Hy het na bewering finansieel in ruil gebring.

ANC regime wants to merged certain ministries after 25 years of mismanagement and reduce the number of provinces

Posted on Leave a comment

Cyril Ramaphosa, the president of our failed rainbow nation, wants to merge several ministries after 25 years of mismanagement and reduce the number of provinces.

The number of ministers will be reduced from 34 to 25 with only 15 deputy ministers.

The number of provinces should be reduced to six. Currently, there are 35 ministers and 37 deputy ministers in the ANC Cabinet.

Economists believe it will make no contribution to getting the country out of its economic dilemma, and consider it “too small for a big problem”.

Ramaphosa’s land theft approach – While the world is watching Ramaphosa with anticipation regarding the land-grab program, it becomes clearer that he has a clever election

Posted on Leave a comment

While the Western world is watching what the ANC president, Cyril Ramaphosa, is going to do with regards to the land-grabbing program, it becomes clearer that he has a clever approach towards to upcoming election.

Political analysts point out that the president suddenly no longer focus on the country’s well-developed farms as a target in his quest.

There is apparently one explanation for this, that is the fear that the country will go without food and scare away the foreign investors.

Now, state land, and unutilized land is becoming the object and it will only become prominent among people’s attention after the election.

The land distribution program came because of two elements that threatened the ANC. Firstly, the Malema radicals have instigated illegal land grab action that impressed many black voters, and secondly, the ANC had to get something new to retain its voters, a political analyst

ANC took all the political power in SA, 25 years ago and launched initiatives such as BEE and Affirmative Action to help the previous disadvantage people, but why are these so called people still living in shacks, still going hungry, still unemployed and poor?

Posted on Leave a comment

Come, black man, black woman in South Africa – tell us this: You are poor. You are unemployed. You are still in the shack. You are still hungry.

25 Years ago the ANC took all the political power in the country and launched initiatives such as BEE and Affirmative Action to help you.

Why are you still poor after all this time? Is it Jan van Riebeeck or HF Verwoerd or Eugene TerreBlanche? Is it any of them who tells you how you were robbed of land and abused and disadvantaged, but behind your back they pose for pictures with their personal fashion designer?

No black man, black woman – these are the men who live in opulence, with their bellies full with your children’s food, who wears the fancy suits and expensive watches and live in mansions with many rooms, who drives a fancy car and never bothers to ride in a bus or a train – these are the men who do not lie awake at night worrying about the candle that might set the shack

South Africans should brace for more rolling blackouts as the power grid is unstable and cannot produce enough power to sustain the country

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom warned of wider controlled power cuts on Monday after six additional generating units unexpectedly went offline. The power utility launched stage 4 load shedding, which requires the shedding of 4 000 megawatts from the grid.

The Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry is shocked by the sudden dramatic increase in load shedding.

“How is it possible for six units to go down at the same time?” asked Ms Janine Myburgh, President of the Chamber. “It is just too much of a co-incidence and we must ask if this is not another case of sabotage?”

Sabotage was blamed for a previous bout of load shedding, but the form it took was never explained to the public, except for workers who prevented coal deliveries from taking place.

“Stage Four load shedding is very serious indeed and it will affect commerce and industry. This will also affect the jobs of other workers, especially in heavy industry and it is time that workers whose jobs are at
