Hijackings skyrocket in KZN along with scary new trend where victims are now being abducted by attackers

Posted on Leave a comment

One Durban hijacking reported every day over the past week.Blue Security has warned motorists to be on high alert following a spike in Durban hijackings, and a new trend of hijackers attempting to abduct drivers in their vehicles.

Blue Security operations director Brian Jackson said the company had received reports of five hijackings and two attempted hijackings across Durban over the past week alone.

“When considered as an average that is at least one hijacking being reported to our company every day, and this excludes any additional incidents that we don’t hear of, which may be reported to other local security firms and directly to the police,” Jackson said. “What has most concerned us about this latest wave of hijackings in the city, is that a trend has emerged in which hijackers are now attempting to abduct motorists in their vehicles.”

Jackson said in at least two of the recent incidents, hijackers had succeeded in abducting their

Are the police actually protecting and serving us? – Couple attacked by panga wielding terrorist, police uninterested and hesitant to investigate incident

Posted on Leave a comment

On 18 January 2019, at about 03:15 the home of Louis Kirton was broken into in Humansdorp, at the ‘STOP N STAY’.

Kriton’s wife was surprised by the attacker and assaulted, she screamed for help and her 55 year old husband responded quickly. The attacker chopped at Louis with a panga. The panga split his arm open and broke the bones, Louis also suffered an open gash on his forehead that caused a fracture to his skull.

The attacker then fled with cell phones, laptop and food supplies. Humansdorp SAPS were contacted and arrived half an hour later and told Louis that when he is out of hospital that he should go and make a case. The whole house was full of blood and they told the residents to clean it up. They then climbed into their bakkie and drove away without investigating matter, looking around for suspects in the area or putting a guard there at the crime scene.

The ambulance took Louis to a Humansdorp hospital where he was immediatel

AfriForum wins De Wildt land grab court case with Malema’s money

Posted on Leave a comment

AfriForum was victorious in the Northern Gauteng High Court on 21 january 2019, against illegal land invaders and the South African Police Service (SAPS).

The victory follows an urgent application to force the SAPS to remove land invaders who illegally occupied land in the De Wildt area in the North West. The legal cost for the application is paid from funds that were paid to AfriForum by Julius Malema and the EFF after they had lost numerous cases to AfriForum with cost.

One of these cases incidentally involved Malema’s public incitement to occupy land illegally.

“Apart from the irony that it is Malema who is, so to speak, now paying to bring land invaders to book, this is another victory for AfriForum in its battle to protect property rights in South Africa and to force the SAPS to assist the rightful landowners in protecting their properties,” says Ian Cameron, AfriForum’s Head of Community Safety.

“AfriForum has been working

South African politics: Beware of the brothel! It is often said that the Afrikaner changes his religion easier than his political party! However, no ones beats Peter Marais when it comes to party hopping

Posted on Leave a comment

It is often said that the Afrikaner changes his religion easier than his political party! One can almost believe that, given the fact that he allowed himself to be dragged right through the 1994 handover and into the ‘one man one vote’ state by the National Party, firmly believing that the National Party hasn’t changed at all.

We have the very same thing with Afrikaners sticking to the DA at all cost. Doesn’t matter how blatantly racist Mmusi Maimane is against white people, the Afrikaner sticks to the DA. Combine this with one of the Afrikaners favourite questions: “Who is the leader?” and you have trouble. If a leader goes awry, one should not follow him any more.

Unfortunately, as of late  the Afrikaner does not mind to follow political prostitutes. And politics in South Africa, with more than 200 registered political parties, can become a brothel at the best of times! It is so easy for a politician to cross the floor from one party to

South Africa following Zimbabwe into ruin? – The Zimbabwe economy is in chaos and disease is breaking out all over the place. Like Mugabe, the SA politicians are sucking our country dry and it is heading towards being just another black failed state

Posted on Leave a comment

In this video by ‘Loving Life’ we see that the parallel paths of South Africa and Zimbabwe are very similar. The only winners in this scenario are the politicians.

The video looks at how Mugabe took over a very economically sound country in 1980 and brought it to its knees. The similarities of corruption, expropriation of land from white farmers, the complete collapse of industry and investors fleeing are undeniable. The video reflects on the situation as it is now in Zimbabwe and how the people are starving!

The Zimbabwe economy is in chaos and disease is breaking out all over the place.  Like Mugabe, thew South African politicians are sucking the country dry.

We see that in 1994 the media used Zimbabwe as an example of a successful multicultural country with a strong economy. They said South Africa could be just like them. Today the media says it’s impossible, South Africa will never be like Zimbabwe. They are right though, it wil

Brace yourself for an invasion of illegal Zimbabwean immigrants since researchers say they are likely to relocate to SA amid unrest in their country

Posted on Leave a comment

Researcher at Social Services Africa says it’s likely that Zimbabweans will move to South Africa due to the unrest in their country.

The country has been rocked by deadly protests, with demonstrators taking to the streets after President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced a 150% fuel price hike.

Civilians clashed with police in the capital city of Harare. Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum says it’s recorded 844 human rights violations, including at least 12 deaths.

Research director of Social Services Africa Tara Polzer Ngwato explains: “We should start at the point and say that movement between neighbouring countries is normal. It’s not actually supposed to the inception of something that is a crisis. Of course, when we have a crisis in a country there are different movements. People are likely to change their decisions on moving back and forth between the two countries.”

SA does not have a rosy image as an investment destination – SA has been slithering down the WEF’s annual Global Competitiveness Index reaching 67 out of 140 countries

Posted on Leave a comment

To be blunt, SA does not have a rosy image as an investment destination. One does not have to look further than the WEF’s annual Global Competitiveness Index (CPI). In the 2006/2007 report, SA was ranked 45 out of 125 countries. Since then, SA has been slithering down the index, reaching 67 out of 140 countries in the 2018 report.

The country’s downward trajectory was hastened by poor rankings in health (mainly HIV/Aids and tuberculosis), information and communication technology adoption, skills (educational quality), the number of days it takes to start a business, institutions (crime, police services, public trust in politicians, diversion of public funds, efficiency in government spending, irregular payments and bribes, business costs of crime and violence), and infrastructure (quality of electricity supply). These are all areas under direct control of the government.

It is difficult to imagine how anyone could sugar-coat our rankings in the 201

WATCH | ‘My forefathers will kill me if I had to give R2 to a white guy’ – If the roles were turned around the white guy would have been arrested and charged and refused bail and sentence to a couple of months or maybe a year or two in jail

The video starts shortly after the white..

After the ANC regime came to power in 1994, South Africa became a completely corrupt state, the statement being proved daily by the skeletons now being excavated by the Commission of State Inquiry

Posted on Leave a comment

The Secretary of the Commission investigating State capture, dr. Khotso De Wee had to go on “leave” after it was revealed that he also received Bosasa bribes.

The accusation was made on Friday, the third day of Angelo Agrizzi’s testimony before the Commission.

In addition to the accusation against the secretary, it is also another point of reference as to what extent the actual situation of corruption in South-Africa seems to be.

Agrizzi said he was informed that De Wee secretary was one of several senior officials at the Department of Justice who received Bosasa bribe money.

Observers say it now appears that the country is totally rotten because of corruption, and that this is probably just the peak of a massive iceberg corruption.

Nuut gekwalifiseerde verpleërs wat die Gautengse departement van gesondheid weens ’n geldtekort nie van plan was om aan te stel nie, gaan nou wel aangestel word

Posted on Leave a comment

Dié aankondiging is gedoen ’n week nadat die departement gesê het hy gaan nie vanjaar 216 van sy pas gekwalifiseerde verpleërs aanstel nie.

Lesemang Matuka, woordvoerder van die departement, sê hoewel die departement die verpleërs moet aanstel nadat hy die koste van hul studie die afgelope vier jaar gedra het, verhinder die begrotingstekort hom soms om hulle aan te stel.

Matuka sê staatshospitale is opdrag gegee dat die verpleërs in vakante en gefinansierde poste aangestel moet word.

Die ander opsie om die betrokke verpleërs aan te moedig om aansoek te doen om poste in die privaat sektor.

Jack Bloom, DA-woordvoerder oor gesondheid in Gauteng, sê hy verwelkom die departement se besluit, maar hoop dat dit vir al die verpleërs sal geld en dat niemand sonder werk sal sit nie.

Hy sê die departement het ’n databasis van al dié verpleërs en hulle sal gekontak word sodra daar vakante poste is en hulle nog nie in die privaa
