Absconding thief who robbed a group of people of their mobiles were a police officer

Posted on Leave a comment

The black residential area of Thokoza’s police made a shocking discovery when they shot a fleeting thief in the leg and torso.

The “thief” could not flee much further, and when the police surrounded him, they found out that the thief was a police officer.

The scary police officer apparently was robbing a few people from their cellphones .

The group of people who allegedly were robbed handed their mobiles to the perpetrator after he pointed a firearm at them.

Apparently he drove a vehicle with a blue light on the roof, but when the police arrived, he flew on foot, after which the subsequent police had injured him.

Only in South Africa where people still believe in mythical superstitions – the latest one is that a water snake is the cause of a storm that has hit Sun City recently, and where thousands of rands of damages was caused

Posted on Leave a comment

So apparently we are right back in the dark ages. A traditional “philosopher” Grace Masuku said in a statement that the storm at Sun City was caused by the mythical “water snake”.

Sun City is apparently built in an area where the ancestors live and communicate with the waters – the water hose is apparently the guardian of the area and is now angry for the places that were erected.

Millions of Rand’s damage occurred when a heavy hailstorm hit the resort, and workers will apparently recover completely from it.

A volunteer noted humorously that the so-called water snake waited a few decades before it became angry with the buildings at Sun City.

Stadium in Cape Town, which was built for the 2010 Fifa football cup, is basically unused and is a burden on taxpayers and bankrupt municipalities

Posted on Leave a comment

The Cape Town Stadium, built for the 2010 Fifa World Soccer Cup, is a white elephant and is managed by huge losses.

Now the Cape Town Council has allocated millions for the appointment of a company secretary and financial manager.

R2.5 million a year has been approved for the two posts. Even JP Smith of the Mayors’ Security and Security Committee expressed concern for further funding and warned that it would put a burden on taxpayers.

Numerous stadiums were set up in South Africa for the sporting event during which the South African team performed extremely poorly opposed to other countries, and the stadiums are is basically unused and is a burden on taxpayers and bankrupt municipalities

Why is Naspers investing R7,7 billion in an Indian education scheme, but learners in SA are still consigned to the worst possible learning circumstances?

Posted on Leave a comment

Naspers has announced that it has recently invested $ 540 million in the Indian education scheme BY JU’S.

The scheme is  apparently aimed towards education of primary and secondary school pupils in India. Naspers’s contribution is not mentioned and the Canadian Pension Plan Investment will make a “significant” contribution.

Development for Indian children in India enjoys enormous priority while South Africa’s children receive  the poorest education due to poor management and lack of funding

Especially the black pupils in rural areas are delivered to the worst possible circumstances, explaining why so many children struggle to reach Grade 12 and pass.

Ramaphosa creates the impression that racism is only a white problem

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s reaction on Radio 702 when asked about the hate speech of BLF leader, Andile Mngxitama, is disappointing as he shifted the focus to white people as if to imply that racism is mainly a white problem.

According to media reports, President Ramaphosa implied that racism is not common among black people and that Mngxitama is probably just “a lone voice out there in the wilderness”.

President Ramaphosa also added that “we cannot, through the hatred of some white people then begin to define the whole white community as haters of black people”. And: we must say that those who hate black people and those who are racist must be isolated. We must teach them the best ways to be a nation.

The President’s play on words creates the impression that South Africa’s real problem lies with white people, while in reality, the problem under discussion is Mngxitama’s hateful statements. This also echoes the statements made b

Boycott South African Airways – Here’s why!

Posted on Leave a comment

Boycott SAA because it wastes R5 billion annually. That could fund 120 000 university students, 50 000 RDP houses, 10 (300-bed) hospitals, 300 schools, or 30 000 police.

It is your patriotic duty to do so.

If you are unpatriotic, it is your ethical duty.

If you are unethical, it is your familial duty.

If you have no family, it is your selfish duty.

If you are a selfless hermit, fly SAA.

It can liberate enough wealth to save 1 000 babies through improved paediatric care and prevent thousands of rapes and murders through improved policing.

This is the social cost inflicted when government diverts spending from worthy causes to flights of folly.

Boycott SAA because the multi-year numbers are worse.

Past plus proposed subsidies and guarantees (R46 billion plus R21 billion) could fund 670 000 houses, 4 500 schools, 1 500 000 student years, or 20 000km of roads.

Boycott SAA because putting your bum on t

Horrific! Editor of the Citizen thought it would be hilarious to mock SA farm murder victims – This man is a disgrace!

Posted on Leave a comment

In this video by Willem Petzer we see Daniel Friedman, the editor of the Citizen, who is also a part time comedian, who thought it would be hilarious to do a comedy scene mocking the victims of South African farm attacks and farm murders.

This is nauseating and appalling to any decent person and his content is disgustingly horrific. And this from an editor in a mainstream news outlet. Makes one wonder if the 12 year old boy who was drowned in boiling water after seeing his parents brutally murdered would have also found it hilarious. And if other victims who were brutally tortured and murdered would also find it funny. Or if a small child who was dragged through her parents blood by her hair found it funny before she was shot.

Willem Petzer exposes this horrific human being for what he is and shares information regarding his left wing opinions. Daniel Friedman has regularly and incorrectly, without factual substantiation, reported false informatio

Small coastal village in Northern Cape, Kleinsee is flooded with illegal diamond miners

Posted on Leave a comment

The coastal town of Kleinsee situated in the Northen-Cape is flooded with illegal diamond miners. The town that was part of the De Beers group has recently been a quiet coastal village with almost no stickers. It has changed drastically over the past few weeks with a diamond rush of almost 8,000 “miners.

Land that was rehabilitated by the mining group was occupied by the miners who set up  huts, tents and temporary structures. Neat and rehabilitation material has been extracted and used as shelter material while new vegetation has been pulled out on the dunes to strengthen sails and structures. Nearly 8,000 miners were counted before the weekend and reportedly it grew to 15,000.

Beach facilities like toilets and showers are taken over as laundry facilities and wash facilities. No toilets exist and the open grooves are used as restrooms. The police refuse to act against the setlers because they were threatened with death.

The town’s

Edcon group, which owns Edgars, may be bankrupt

Posted on Leave a comment

The Edcon group, which owns Edgars, has denied reports that the entity faces liquidation. A statement says that the group is experiencing financial difficulties, but is negotiating between shareholders, suppliers and landlords in an effort to save the company.

The same statement states that there will be no job losses, but there will be fewer shops.

Observers say, however, that there is something in the statement somewhere, but there is a possibility that workers will have a choice to be accommodated elsewhere and in other posts.

A quarter of a century later, after FW de Klerk and Tutu set up the Presidents Fund, thousands of victims of the apartheid era are still waiting for compensation, fingers are now pointing to ANC regime who might have exploited the funds

Posted on Leave a comment

The victims would have qualify for aid from the Fund that included assistance for housing, health services and proper education. However, they are still waiting for the support. It seems like the ANC-regime just forgot about these so called victims and exploited the funds for the party’s own benefit.

It is almost a quarter of a century after FW de Klerk and Tutu shook hands on the matter, but now thousands still wait to receive a helping hand.

In 2003, the so-called Presidents Fund was established to assist the victims, but it appears that the ANC government does not fulfill their promises just as in the past, except when they can rob the whites of their land, one has victim apparently said.

There is an expectation among victims that the government should give them a one-time assistance payment of R30,000. Calculations show that such a payment will be to the thousands of victims, Billions of Rand, who can not do the bankrupt country withou
