We will kill their children, we will kill their women, we will kill anything we find on our way” – NPA failed to bring BLF leader Mngxitama accounted for his hate speech and inciting violence against whites

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA now considers legal action to compel the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to provide satisfactory answers to the prosecution of Black First Land First (BLF) leader Andile Mngxitama.

This comes more than a year after Mngxitama threatened and incited his followers to kill white women and children, the NPA still cannot give a clue as to whether he will be prosecuted for this.

In December 2018, Mngxitama spoke to a large audience in Potchefstroom, North West, and enticed them to kill five white people for every one black person killed. He continued to threaten women and children: “We will kill their children, we will kill their women, we will kill anything we find on our way”.

TAU SA lodged a complaint of hate speech against Mngxitama on December 11, 2018, with the police. Since then, TAU SA has repeatedly asked about the progress of the case, and thousands of people have also added their names to TAU SA’s petition on this.

Another stupid plan on the incompetent ANC’s table – Regime now wants to expand and manage shipping, while all the SOE’s are total failures

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC government’s Minister of Transport, Fikile Mbalula, has just announced that his Department is looking into the possibility of expanding shipping and the ships will be managed by their incompetent department.

Informed sources say the announcement comes simply as a distraction after it became known that Prasa is also bankrupt like almost every other state entity in this country.

Mbalula’s announcement that a network of ships can be built to transport cargo will not come off the ground as long as every other entity, and the country is in an economic turmoil where debt burdens are higher than what is allowed in the business world.

With SAA facing liquidation, and South Africa approaching junk status, with a possible recession on everyone’s lips, it is a waste of money and time to look at shipping as an option, informed sources.

” As long as it’s not white” – Racist nature of South African state revealed

Posted on Leave a comment

Not that it should surprise anyone but the racist nature of the black nationalist ANC regime has been revealed in the documents of a state organ, in this case the Magistrates Commission, a State organ appointing all the magistrates in South Africa.

It all came out in court when Richard Lawrence, the acting magistrate and office head in Petrusburg in the Free State, applied for a permanent position. The Magistrates Commission did not even put him on the shortlist. Lawrence then approached the Free State High Court.

The Helen Suzman Foundation also joined the case as friend of the court.

The Helen Suzman Foundation said that it was clear from the records of the private deliberations of the Magistrates Commission that race was the determining factor in the shortlist process. The records revealed statements such as ” everything you need, as long as its not white” by the chairman of the Magistrates Commission said the Helen Suzman Foundation.

Double standards!SA justice system corrupt – #FeesMustFall activist Kanya Cekeshe eligible for immediate parole but parole for Boeremag prisoners denied

Posted on Leave a comment

Kanya Cekeshe, the only #FeesMustFall activist behind bars, for his role in the 2016 student protests, is now eligible for early parole after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a Reconciliation Day special remission of sentences for certain categories of offenders.

In detailing who would be eligible for a remission of sentence, Justice Minister Ronald Lamola was clear that certain categories would not be considered — including those convicted of sexual offences, domestic violence and child abuse.

However, he said that Cekeshe — who was to become eligible for parole in February in any event – was from Monday immediately eligible. Cekeshe has been in Leeuwkop prison since December 2017, after he was sentenced to five years behind bars for public violence and malicious damage to property. He pleaded guilty to setting a police vehicle alight during a #FeesMustFall protest in 2016.

Cekeshe is one of about 9% of prison inmates who fall under the special dispens

SA Reserve Bank’s worst-case scenario fast becoming a reality – economy to lose 1.1 percentage points in growth, leading to the loss of 125 000 job opportunities

Posted on Leave a comment

The SA Reserve Bank’s worst-case scenario, which would see the country’s economy lose 1.1 percentage points in growth and lead to the loss of 125 000 job opportunities, is fast becoming a reality.

The central bank’s latest forecasts predict that the economy will sacrifice 0.4 percentage points in GDP growth if Eskom’s availability factor declines to 65% for a few months.

If the power station fleet staggers to 60% availability, the expectation is that 1.1 percentage points will be lost.

Up until last week, Eskom had only been able to deliver 63% of its installed capacity.

The past week saw a historic low for Eskom, with the ailing state-owned enterprise being forced to implement stage 6 load shedding (rolling blackouts).
The current wave of rolling blackouts is the fourth time that extensive blackouts have occurred in South Africa since 2007.

It is not yet known what the availability figure over this period was, but it is expected to be significa

Cabinet wants De Ruyter to take over from Eskom sooner – They have never sought a white man so quickly. It should be pretty rotten at Eskom

Posted on Leave a comment

De Ruyter, currently CEO of the packaging company Nampak, would be appointed Eskom CEO on January 15, 2020. The final cabinet meeting of 2019 instructed Public Enterprise Minister Pravin Gordhan to negotiate with André de Ruyter to take over the reins at Eskom earlier.

Presidency Minister Jackson Mthembu addressed reporters on Tuesday about the December 13 cabinet meeting. He said De Ruyter would lead efforts to stabilize the management and technical operations at the power supply.

“The Cabinet fully supports all efforts that ensure power supply in our country. The Cabinet therefore instructed Minister Pravin Gordhan to De Ruyter to negotiate to start his duties faster, ”Mthembu added.

“Mr. de Ruyter and his management team will immediately address the issues of management and lack of financial management and stabilize operations at Eskom. This includes a major backlog of maintenance of the aging fleet of power stations and structural problems at Medupi a

Shosholoza train that was delayed for 9 hours left many passengers red under the collar – just another public service that does not provide service

Posted on Leave a comment

A man who drove all the way from Velddrif to the West Coast to fetch his children and grandchildren at the Cape Town station is furious after the train only arrived there more than nine hours later.

James Swart says his children were on the Shosholoza Meyl, which was delayed about nine hours due to various technical problems.

They allegedly boarded the train at Klerksdorp on Sunday at 15:00. When he arrived in Cape Town at about 7.30 pm on Tuesday, there was no sign of the train. The train first arrived at the station at 4 am.

Swart’s children say the train apparently stood at Beaufort West Station for almost two hours and then another couple of hours at Lion Gamka.

“This meant that the train was almost nine hours late. No one informs the passengers or their family, who will pick them up at the station, ”Swart told Netwerk24.

During this time, he and his children lost contact due to a poor cellphone signal.

“They can only tell us be quiet the train

Chinese company told to stop building Transnet trains – including notorious R54.5bn procurement contract for 1,064 locomotives

Posted on Leave a comment

State-owned logistics company Transnet has ordered Chinese locomotives company CRRC-E Loco to “cease activities” at its Pretoria Koedoespoort plant, where locomotive manufacturers, contracted as part of a group of companies to assemble locomotives, are based.

Mncedisi Ndlovu & Sedumedi (MNS) Attorneys, representing Transnet, last week sent letters to lawyers representing the Chinese electric locomotives manufacturers, instructing them to stop manufacturing the locomotives “with immediate effect”.

The company has been told to stop building pending the outcome of a review application of the notorious R54.5bn procurement contract for 1,064 locomotives. The contracts have already been declared irregular and unlawful.

CRRC-E Loco is the merger of China South Rail and China North Rail, which won three tenders worth more than R25bn to supply Transnet with locomotives. The first was for 95 locomotives, worth R2.7bn, the second for 100 locomotives, worth R4

EFF wants to lead the entire African continent to economic freedom with one currency, economy, and judiciary

Posted on Leave a comment

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema on Sunday spelled out the party’s ambitious vision to lead the entire African continent to economic freedom.

Governing South Africa may have appeared to be a tall order for the EFF, but this was just one dream that formed part of even bolder ambitions.

Malema wants the six-year-old organisation to have a presence everywhere on the continent.

“Our vision is not these small-minded things you’re thinking about; we want to lead Africa. We want a United States of Africa with one currency, economy, and judiciary,” Malema said.

Has Malema had a conversation with the current Chairman of African Union (AU) because that is precisely the plan that was motivated back in the day of when Gaddaffi was leader of the AU to have open borders throughout Africa. One Currency, One Law. One Passport.
Cyril Ramaphosa will take up his new role next year as Chairman of the African Union.

WHO IS MALEMA?

More than 14,000 convicts will be free as birds after Ramaphosa approved amnesty and pardon

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa has approved the release of 14,647 offenders on pardons and remissions to mark Reconciliation Day.

On Monday, Ramaphosa granted a special remission of sentence to specific categories of sentenced offenders, probationers and parolees.

“Remissions of sentences are always carefully considered, taking into account the interests of the public and the administration of justice. We recognise that incarceration has followed a judicial process and that sentences have been duly imposed after conviction,” the president said.

Justice Minister Ronald Lamola said the process would start immediately and may take up to nine months.

The pardons will not include offenders sentenced for sexual offences, murder and attempted murder, armed robbery, mentally-ill sedition, high treason, sabotage and terrorism.

As of November 2019, there were 163,015 offenders across the country’s 243 correctional centres for both sentenced and remand detainees. The
