Zweli Mkhize Placed On Special Leave While Digital Vibes Corruption is Investigated by Special Investigation Unit!

Posted on Leave a comment

The South African Minister of Health has been placed on special leave until further notice by Cyril Ramaphosa, while the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) investigates allegations of corruption with Digital Vibes. Zweli Mkhize claimed he asked for time from his post while the investigation was ongoing, and asked to be temporarily replaced so he could fight the allegations of corruption against him, but no one believes it was voluntary.

“We did not discuss the issue of resignation. We discussed the issue of special leave pending the SIU report,” Mkhize said on Tuesday after speaking with Cyril. Mkhize is being investigated by the SIU over a contract awarded by his department to a company called Digital Vibes, which is managed by his former personal assistant, Tahera Mather, and former secretary, Naadhira Mitha.

The contract was awarded in 2019 for work on the National Health Insurance in South Africa, and the agreement was recently extended for activities

Eskom CEO De Ruyter Goes to Court to Annul R 8 Billion Corrupt BBBEE Tender Approved by Current Board!

Posted on Leave a comment

Having survived wrongful allegations of racism, Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter has now resorted to legal action against his own board, in his fight to clean up Eskom and rid it of the systemic corruption that has plagued it ever since ANC took over in 1994.

Andre de Ruyter is fighting in court to scrap a massive corrupt tender with a BBBEE company called Econ Oil, a contract which was approved by all seven members of the current Eskom board, including current chairman Malegapuru Makgoba.

The new tender was issued to Econ Oil in October 2019 for the supply of oil to Eskom and De Ruyter only became Eskom CEO in January 2020. However all seven members of the current board, including the chairman, Prof Makgoba, were already board members by then and approved the deal with Econ Oil. The Board members were Malegapuru Makgoba (Chairman), Calib Cassim (Chief Financial Officer), Pulane Molokwane, Banothile Makhubela, Rod Crompton, Busisiwe Mavuso and Tshepo Mongalo.

SA Facing Winter of Phase 4 & 5 Rolling Blackouts as Unmaintained Infrastructure Accelerates the Country’s Collapse!

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa is headed for a winter of discontent, not only due to the badly managed Covid response, but it has surpassed yet another point of no return with phase 4 and 5 load shedding coming, due to infrastructure crumbling from lack of maintenance. Energy expert Chris Yelland, director of EE Business Intelligence, has said load shedding will only worsen this winter.

The situation is especially dire in Johannesburg where residents are suffering additional power outages, as a direct result of the City’s crumbling infrastructure, besides those imposed by Eskom.

Some families in Johannesburg have to survive for a week or more without any electricity because City Power’s electricians can’t cope with all the outages caused by decaying and crumbling infrastructure and illegal connections caused by years of ANC mismanagement.

Many residents of Johannesburg were also without water this week because the lack of electricity also means water pumps can’t fill up water r

#Dirkiesdorp’s “Zimbabwe Narrative”! Gupta Style Indian Mining Group Atha Africa Assisted & Incited Blacks To Protest Violently Against Farmers!

Posted on Leave a comment

The shocking, yet predictable truth behind the highly politicized and media inflamed Dirkiesdorp incident, when an obviously well organised group of aggressive and violent toyi toyers illegally invaded the farm Pampoenkraal, belonging to Werner Potgieter on 9 April, has finally been revealed! A Gupta / Bell Pottinger style Indian mining group, Atha Africa, was determined to drive white farmers off their land, with the full co-operation of Deputy President David Mabuza’s sidekick, Vusi Shongwe, Mpumalanga MEC for Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs! We will however probably never know who paid who to do what, and what favours changed hands, because the victims of this racist intimidation and violence are white!

Yet again a case of greedy and unscrupulous foreign businessmen whipping up black hatred against white people in order to achieve business objectives, just like the anti-white so called WMC narrative, designed and implemented by the

SARS Looking at R90 Billion Taxi Industry to Further Increase its Increased Tax Revenues…

Posted on Leave a comment

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has now shifted its focus to the R90 Billion taxi industry, which last year paid only about R5 million in taxes. The R5 million tax from last year paid by the industry, cannot even be the income tax of one province’s minibus taxis, and as a result there was a huge outcry in the media and on social media.

How the minibus taxi industry has apparently managed to circumvent its tax obligations to a large extent over the years, is still not clear, but financial experts are calling for the industry to be intensively investigated, to recover taxes from previous years’ revenue that was generated.

The Revenue Service’s diligent search for more income from taxpayers’ wallets, is related to the poor economic condition of the country, and aims to collect maximum taxes so that foreign loans can be repaid, it was claimed.

Ace Fights Suspension with “Innocent Until Proven Guilty” Court Case Against Ramaphosa and ANC!

Posted on Leave a comment

The six senior members of the ANC’s executive committee met on Monday to discuss a new development from the disgraced Ace Magashule, who has gone to the High court with a semi-urgent application, to have the ANC party’s decision to suspend him as Secretary General, reviewed by the High court.

The legal process to resolve the dispute could now take weeks, and gives Ace more time before having to make an apology to the country and Ramaphosa.

Magashule’s appeal to the court claims that the decision of the ANC’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to suspend him, was based on the principle of him having to “stand aside” while he is being prosecuted, but Magashule says he can only be suspended if he is found guilty of a crime.

Some ANC members have responded saying the “stand aside” resolution has nothing to do with the internal disciplinary process for corrupt people, but there are also those who think Magashule might be right, depending on what was actually agreed

Eskom Suddenly Implements Phase 2 Rolling Blackouts, Because You Never Know When Unmaintained Machinery will Fail!

Posted on Leave a comment

As a result of decades worth of BBBEE, systemic corruption, wholesale plunder, bad management and lack of maintenance, the consumer is once paying the price, as Eskom has had to suddenly start load shedding again, as of Sunday, when they introduced it with phase 2, to supposedly last until Tuesday night, if everything goes according to plan.

Once again an inanimate object was blamed, this time it’s apparently the Tutuka station which had to have repairs to three generating units that failed, and another unit at the Majuba power station also failed, causing it to be stopped for repairs. As a result there is about 6,000 MW  lost over 24 hours, the spokesman from the embattled, bankrupt, national power supplier, Eskom, said.

This is once again a case of unexpected breakage that caused them to be unable to deliver the required power demand, requiring blackouts. However, as some of us know, if you do not maintain something, there is indeed no warning as to when it wi

Fitch Rating Agency Warns ANC Regime over Uncontrolled Spending and Unproductive Public Sector Salaries!

Posted on Leave a comment

In a study published last week, the Fitch credit rating agency has warned the ANC government, which is still reluctant to consider public sector salary demands for the next three-year term, over it’s inability to exercise control over spending, which could lead to further budget problems.

The ratings agency pointed out that the compensation paid to public sector workers, which makes up a massive 35% of the workforce, will not yield good results, and furthermore, any salary increases and adjustments could be detrimental, as the country’s growth will only be around 2% for the financial year.

In response to the agency’s report, Nazmeera Moola, head of SA Investments, claimed that the agencies were inclined to be skeptical of the ANC government’s ability to stick to its position of 0% increase in remuneration.

He says there is also doubt about the government’s ability to create growth in the economy, and while it was a source of concern, the ANC government is appa

Young White Worker Killed in Philippi Township, Nothing Stolen! Why are Black Townships Still No Go Zones for Whites?

Posted on Leave a comment

An innocent young man, Kyle Venter  (20) from Bergvliet in Cape Town, has been shot and killed in cold blood in the black township of Philippi East, however nothing was stolen, so are we to assume it is just because he was a white guy caught alone in a black township, because, let’s be honest, whites risk their lives just going into black townships!

Kyle worked for a construction company and was doing deliveries in the area on Wednesday 12 May, at around 15:45. At the corner of Stock road and Symphony road, a vehicle drove into the back of Kyle’s Hyundai 120.

Kyle’s grandfather, Andre Venter, told Netwerk24 that Kyle was then shot dead. Nothing was stolen from Kyle’s car according to his grandfather. The Police have confirmed that it was murder.

Why is it literally life threatening for a white person to enter black townships, even though blacks can do anything they please at anytime in mostly white residential areas? Being robbed is almost certain. Being the
