Russian warship ‘Marshal Ustinov’ arrives in Cape Town for first-ever joint drill with Chinese, South African navies

Posted on Leave a comment

South African Navy is broke and obsolete apparently courtesy of ANC ruling government. They can not fix anything themselves, could well want help from somewhere else, as always, perhaps Russia or will it be China?

South Africa has much in way of extremely valuable mineral resources

America you’ve been sleeping and missed a vital opportunity again!

The Slava-class missile cruiser ‘Marshal Ustinov’ of the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet has arrived at one of the world’s southernmost ports, South Africa’s Cape Town. It will take part in a joint exercise also involving China.
The cruiser and two support ships reached South Africa’s co-capital after an almost five-month, 25,500-nautical mile (47,200 km) voyage from its home base in Severomorsk. The flotilla made stops in Algeria, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Cape Verde and Equatorial Guinea, and took part in several sea exercises before reaching its South African destination on Sunday.

Denel’s huge contract worth billions of Rand halted after dispute over inspection arises – How long will the cash-strapped SEO remain standing?

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa has blocked Denel’s huge contract worth billions of Rand. The contracts, the largest of which are for weapons in the two countries, Saudi Arabia, and the other in the United Arab Emirates, have been blocked and could eventually be canceled by the buyers.

South African manufacturer Denel, which, like many other state entities, is currently struggling to keep its head above water, can hardly afford to lose the giant orders because a dispute over inspection has arisen.

Informed sources point out that this could also mean that thousands of jobs could be jeopardized by the struggling armaments manufacturer.

The inspection dispute apparently revolves around a clause in the export documents that requires foreign customers not to transfer weapons to third-party institutions or countries.

The provision further states that South Africa is allowed to inspect the facilities, and the provisions could lead to cancellation of orders amounting to billions of R

Transnet wasted almost R50 billion, most of which is used to buy trains that cannot be used in SA

Posted on Leave a comment

State-owned entities are currently under considerable pressure and there is doubt as to how many of them have the ability to continue without the necessary financial assistance.

This is the opinion of Auditor-General Kimi Makwetu, who last week released a national and provincial auditor’s report for the period 2028-2019 in Cape Town.

He says there are weaknesses in the performance of many entities and the roughly 14 state-run institutions that are heavily subsidized by the state and the ANC government apparently did not contribute much to improving their results.

The 14 institutions also spent R1.4bn on illegal spending, and may be further investigated with further investigations.

Denel, the SABC, SA Express shipping company, and the SA Forestry Company are some of the biggest offenders of wrongful expenses incurred.

With Transnet wasting nearly R50bn, the bulk of which has been used to buy trains that cannot be used in SA, along with Eskom’s nearly R7bn

Refugees have decided to go on mass exodus out of South-Africa due to ANC-regime’s insensitive action against them

Posted on Leave a comment

The so-called refugees in Cape Town, now housed in the Methodist Church after clashing with police, apparently want to leave the country in in mass Exodus format.

Their spokesmen said it was the only way they could draw the world’s attention to the ANC government’s insensitive action against them.

The refugees had previously gathered at the United Nations offices but were driven out by police, but the SA Human Rights Commission has given its support to the refugees, saying the police should stop their creating action.

About 200 of the refugees have since left the church building following discussions with church leaders and human rights representatives.

Shortly thereafter, the same thing happened in Pretoria when refugees also clashed with police in front of the offices of the UN Refugee Agency.

During the clashes, about 24 police officers were injured and numerous refugees sustained serious injuries condemned by human rights activists.

More than 100

Pravin Gordhan says cash-strapped SAA may have no money for salaries this month

Posted on Leave a comment

Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan has warned that, while two unions at SAA are demanding salary increases for members, the airline might not even be able to pay any salaries at the end of the month.

The minister was speaking at a Parliamentary briefing on Wednesday. The meeting was called for feedback on power utility Eskom, but Gordhan – who met with unions on Tuesday – also made some remarks about SA’s cash-strapped national airline.

The minister said the strike was worsening the airline’s financial crisis. “SAA doesn’t have enough cash to possibly even pay salaries at the end of the month,” he said. “Not only will people not get increases but they might not even get their salaries,” he added.

Members of the National Union of Metalworkers of SA and the SA Cabin Crew Association have been on strike since Friday over wages, proposed job cuts and the demand that more workers be insourced.

On Wednesday afternoon Numsa and Sacca were at dispute r

Panyaza Lesufi could be replaced as Gauteng education MEC if AfriForum gets its way

Posted on Leave a comment

AfriForum’s campaign demanding the removal of Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi from office began on Wednesday with an online petition calling for his removal.

The minority-rights organisation said it would also hand over a memorandum to Gauteng premier David Makhura at his offices in the Johannesburg CBD on Thursday, in which it will ask that Lesufi be dismissed.

Before handing over the memorandum, AfriForum said it will start by laying criminal charges at the Johannesburg Central police station relating to the education department’s alleged misappropriation of more than R900m.

AfriForum announced on Tuesday that it would launch its campaign to remove Lesufi when it responded to a statement by the department that 14,000 grade 1 and grade 8 learners had not been placed in schools.

The department outlined measures it would take to ensure that the remaining 14,617 prospective grade 1 and grade 8 pupils were placed in schools by the end of the month. It

Misappropriation of R5.8 bil, Afriforum to lay charges – NHI violates constitution

Posted on Leave a comment

During a media conference held on 18 November 2019, AfriForum launched a comprehensive report on why the implementation of National Health Insurance (NHI) in South Africa will be unconstitutional. The report further explains why the impact study on which the NHI is based, is totally inadequate which means that the Bill should be set aside.

“According to the report, Section 27 of the Constitution only provides for access to healthcare. Nowhere does it indicate that the state is obliged to provide healthcare to everyone. In fact, if the government’s intervention hinders this access, it is unconstitutional. When one considers the current state of affairs in the department of health, the state most definitely doesn’t have the capacity to provide healthcare services to the whole country. It will therefore be unconstitutional for the state to effectively take control of the private health sector,” says Natasha Venter, AfriForum’s spokesperson for NHI.

Only 11 shortlisted candidates applied for Transnet CEO post

Posted on Leave a comment

Only 11 candidates have submitted applications that qualify to be shortlisted for the post of major boss for Transnet, three of whom are CEOs of the rail service.

The state-controlled entity, whose finances are also not too rosy, apparently has 11 candidates from which a new CEO will be appointed.

The appointment comes after the previous chief, Siyabonga Gama, was fired, and is only expected to be finalized in a week or more.

In addition to Transnet’s board of directors, an outside agency’s expertise was apparently used to interview and make a final decision.
