South Africa can face food shortage with the Ramaphosa regime’s landgrab actions – Farmers unwilling to sow or plant because they are afraid of financial implications

Posted on Leave a comment

With the inability of the Ramaphosa regime to clearly understand what farmers are facing from the when the landgrab action that will soon begin, farmers are worried that they will face financial ruin.

The different scenarios are analysed one after the other, one of which makes farmers unwilling to sow or to plant.

The farmers believe the risk is too high to harvest land and then the government confiscates the land for the benefit of the so-called new owner.

The second source of concern is who will be responsible for the exercise that has to be undertaken and who is responsible for the mortgage on the farm.

Even though only a portain of the farm is being taken under the land expropriation action, the problem remains the same. Farmers would rather no longer incur any costs, fearing that they should pay the costs without the income on the ground.

If political leaders of the ANC regime ignore all fears, or reject it as speculation, the

The gravy train were properly exploited at the VBS bank- ANC treasury general received R1.5m gift

Posted on Leave a comment

Evidence in the Supreme Court shows that the ANC’s Limpopo Treasury General, Danny Msiza, received R1.5 million via an intermediary.

The intermediary facilitated the “investments” of multi million rand from municipal accounts to VBS bank.

A R9,5 million mortgage from Msiza’s company on a property in Pietersburg is also apparently paid by VBS Bank.

It appears that “bonuses” paid to mayors and financial officers amount to almost R2 billion.

Moshate Investments, intermediary Kabelo Matsepe’s company, received R27 million in facilitation services for almost 27 months.

Investors do not want to invest in SA since our national power provider is so unreliable – Communists now demand the end of load shedding after it has already cost the country billion Rand in recent weeks

Posted on Leave a comment

ANC, SAKP, Cosatu and Sanco are now demanding the end of load shedding in South Africa.

It is ironic that the people in charge of the country, that is, the ruling ANC party, its alliance partner, the SA Communist Party and unionists now demand that the shedding of power must be discontinued.

The ANC’s Zizi Kodwa issued a statement on behalf of the parties in which statecapture and corruption is blamed as well as Eskom’s incompetence to thrive. During the meeting of partners, the failure of local government was criticised as well as the inability to provide basic services.

In terms of power, the country has already spent billions of Rand in recent weeks, and Ramaphosa’s efforts to attract investors are being harmed by the power supply that is extremely unreliable.

Government wants to speed up the process to steel land to dune as a motivation for black voters to support the ANC in the coming elections

Posted on Leave a comment

Rumours and reports is doing the rounds that ANC is intending to speed up the land theft project, and are already making a fuss so that the forthcoming election results will be beneficial to them.

According to the land claims plan, the regime wants to transfer 30% of the land to blacks within the next five years.

Farmers who made a thorough study of the outcome of such an act predict that it would adversely affect food provision in the country.

The Ramaphosa regime wants to see that the constitution amendment is made before the election in 2019, and there is suspicion that the first land will then be seized to dune as a motivation for black voters to support the ANC.

Political commentators say the action of the ANC does not differ from Mugabe’s actions, and is a portrayal of dictatorship and robbery.

Farmers across SA are are currently experiencing huge losses due to Eskom’s unreliable service and continues load shedding

Posted on Leave a comment

Farmers across the country, but especially in the soft fruit industry, are at wits end. All this because of the continues load shedding that is currently employed throughout South-Africa. Vessels that deliver water at a certain time of the day for a certain time are now affected by power failures.

The “cold chain”, namely cooling of export fruit is constantly interrupted by irregular power supply, and adversely affects the quality.

This will cause millions of Rand’s damage, and where fruit can no longer be exported due to power failures, the country can lose its status as a reliable supplier.

Dairy’s that works with sensitive and extremely perishable products are now forced to obtain a backup power generator because of the unreliability of Eskom’s service.

Peperduur Albert Nzula-hospitaal in Trompsburg nou ‘net ’n kliniek’

Posted on Leave a comment

‘n Peperduur hospitaal in Trompsburg in die Vrystaat, wat vier jaar nadat dit voltooi is eers oopgemaak het, word steeds nie ten volle gebruik nie en nog ’n hospitaal in dieselfde provinsie word net as kliniek gebruik.

Die Albert Nzula-hospitaal langs die N1-snelweg is in 2014 teen amper R400 miljoen voltooi, maar het eers verlede jaar sy deure vir pasiënte oopgemaak. Nou blyk dit sleutelposte is steeds nie gevul nie en operasieteaters, wat ten duurste toegerus is, staan in onbruik.

Die hospitaal sou oorspronklik R286 miljoen gekos het.

Die perseel huisves die hospitaal met 74 beddens, ’n kraam­afdeling, ’n ongevalleafdeling met ’n helikopterlandingsblad, agt teaters, ’n rehabilitasiesentrum, ortopediese terapie en ’n lykshuis.

Maar volgens Mariette Pittaway, DA-lid van die provinsiale wetgewer in die Vrystaat, funksioneer die hospitaal grotendeels as ’n kliniek.

“Pasiënte word hier slegs ge­diagnoseer en dan na die Pelonomi-

Gautengse gesondheidsdepartement laat pasiënte weer honger ly

Posted on Leave a comment

Sowat 130 nieregeringsorganisasies (NRO’s) is Donderdag weer in die steek gelaat deur die Gautengse gesondheidsdepartement. Die NRO’s, wat almal omsien na verstandelik gestremde private pasiënte in Gauteng, is belowe dat hulle op 10 Mei hul subsidies vir April sal kry. Donderdag is hulle egter by ’n streeksvergadering ingelig dat hulle nie hul geld gaan kry nie.

“Ons het ook geen antwoorde gekry oor wanneer ons dit gaan kry nie. Dis nou middel Mei en ons sukkel,” sê Marius Bosman, bestuurder van die San Michele-tehuis in Brakpan.

“Dit kom doodeenvoudig daarop neer dat ons nie geld het om die mense in ons sorg ordentlik te versorg nie. Ons praat nou hier van basiese behoeftes soos kos om te eet, salarisse wat betaal moet word vir versorgers, die betaling van verskaffers en die belangrikste van alles, ons elektrisiteitsrekening. In die somermaande is dit sowat R75 000 en in die winter gaan dit op na R130 000,” sê ’n moedelose Bosman.

LUR geskok oor pasiënte op bankies en vloere slaap by Church of Scotland-hospitaal

Posted on Leave a comment

Sibongiseni Dhlomo, KwaZulu-Natalse LUR vir gesondheid, het die naweek tydens ʼn verrassingsbesoek aan die Church of Scotland-hospitaal pasiënte wat op bankies en die vloer slaap by die hospitaal aangetref.

Dhlomo het Sondag gevolglik vir die hospitaal se bestuur opdrag gee om ʼn gepaste plek te soek vir pasiënte om te slaap wanneer hulle oornag moet wag vir vervoer om hulle na ander hospitale in Pietermaritzburg te neem.

ʼn Kankerpasiënt en meer as ʼn dosyn ma’s en kinders was onder dié wat gewag het.

“Ek is verras en kwaad dat die kwessie wat lank terug uitgestryk is nie uitgevoer is in die hospitaal nie. Dié pasiënte het hul huise verlaat en hierheen gekom.”

Hy het ook gesê dat hy nie beïndruk is met die higiëne in die hospitaal nie. “Ek het vandag vir mevrou Mamizi Mkhize gesien, sy het gevorderde kanker. Sy moet verdere behandeling by Greys-hospitaal ontvang. Ek het haar aangetref waar sy kniel op die bankie, want sy sê sy kan nie met

Rioters chase doctors away from dying patients at Tshepong hospital

Posted on Leave a comment

Critically ill patients lay unattended as “tsotsis” denied staff access to Tshepong hospital outside Klerksdorp in the North West on Wednesday and asked doctors to pay R20 to enter their workplace.

Desperate doctors and nurses were eventually flown in by helicopter. But strikers then entered the hospital and forced the nurses to go outside, while overturning rubbish bins. Patients ended up serving patients.

One man, with a gunshot wound to the neck, died. It is not known if he would have survived had he been seen earlier, said doctors at the hospital.

“This is probably the only functional hospital in the province. I don’t see how they can cripple this hospital too,” said one doctor, who did not want to be named.

A surgeon trying to get to work was stormed by thugs wielding bricks. He struggled to get his car keys out of his pocket but managed to drive off just in time.

Doctors say the hospital, with more than 450 beds, is one of the “most fu
