Eskom cannot deliver sufficient and sustainable power, ANC regime now approves alternative options

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC regime has finally realized that Eskom is unable to provide sufficient, and sustainable, electricity to consumers.

The news that the government has agreed that municipalities may start their own power supply is a complete turnaround in policy and is also contrary to the AMC-SACP alliance’s communist approach to control everything for everyone.

There are suspicions that several larger municipalities will do their homework, but informed sources believe the new step could lead to greater corruption and poor service delivery since no municipality has the skills to set up and operate its own power plant.

Cape Town Municipality demolishes shacks at illegal informal settlement

Posted on Leave a comment

Spokeswoman refuses to say how many shacks in Zweledinga were destroyed after the Cape Town municipality decided to demolish parts of it.

The shacks were flattened over the weekend in the Khayelitsha area, but municipal officials refuse to say what the number was destroyed.

Councilor Malusi Booi responded elusively, saying it was operational information that could not be provided.

He says the city council rejects any attempt of land occupation and this also applies in urban areas as has been the case, and has therefore acted purposefully.

Booi confirmed that they had a court order permitting them to demolish the shacks, and after Saturday’s clearing of the site, building materials and corrugated iron lay everywhere with other illegal squatters’ property.

R11m from SA Lottery goes to cousin of National Lotteries Commission boss

Posted on Leave a comment

The National Lotteries Commission has given more than R11m to a non-profit organisation (NPO) called I Am Made for God’s Glory, which has in turn paid R2m to a private company of which the sole director is the cousin of the chief operating officer of the National Lotteries Commission.

According to leaked bank statements, R2m was paid to Upbrand Properties by I Am Made For God’s Glory (IAM4GG), which received a R11 375 000 grant from the Lottery to develop an “integrated sports facility” in Limpopo.

The sole director of Upbrand is Kenneth Tomoletso Sithole, first cousin of NLC chief operating officer Phillemon Letwaba.

GroundUp has previously revealed how Upbrand received a R15m contract to build a rehabilitation centre near Pretoria at a time when Letwaba’s brother, Johannes “Joe” Letwaba, was a director of the company. Johannes Letwaba subsequently resigned, leaving Keneilwe Constance Maboa, the wife of Karabo Sithole, another first cousin of t

State-owned Landbank become the first SOE to be downgraded to junk by Moody’s

Posted on Leave a comment

The Land Bank has become the first big state-owned company in SA to be relegated to junk status by Moody’s rating agency. The New York-based agency, which is the last remaining among the big three to rate SA as investment grade economy, said given government’s fiscal challenges, it expected less financial support for the Land Bank from the state.

The agency downgraded Land Bank’s long-term issuer ratings to Ba1 from Baa3. This is a notch below investment grade. It’s also a notch below SA’s sovereign rating, which the agency affirmed at Baa3 with a negative outlook in November, and also below Transnet and Eskom, who continue to enjoy a Baa3 rating from Moody’s, despite the latter’s debt and solvency woes. Land Bank’s short-term issuer ratings were downgraded to “Not Prime” from P-3.

“The ratings downgrade reflects Moody’s assessment that ongoing fiscal challenges suggest that the South African government will be more selective in dispersing finan

R200,000 Spent on Luxury Rental Car by Mokopane (Potgietersrus) Mayor Andrina Matsimela, Even Though Bankrupt Town is Under Administration!

Posted on Leave a comment

In another example of #TheAfricanWay, it has been revealed that the bankrupt municipality of Mokopane, which is the old Potgietersrus in Limpopo, has spent more than R200,000 on the rental of a Mercedes Benz C-class for the mayor of the town. Andrina Matsimela has being transported around in this luxury vehicle since July last year.

Why Africans Should Never Have Nuclear! Bomb Goes Off Under Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe As Bankrupt NECSA Board Suddenly Resigns!

Posted on Leave a comment

When it comes to nuclear, there is no such thing as leaving things to chance or not having ample room, and money, to cover all the bases. It became clear the ANC regime has no clue what this means as the NECSA board resigned, amidst information that NECSA is totally bankrupt. As the rats jump ship, will we ever find out what THEY did with all the money? Or is Gwede simply not up to the job of budgeting for his department, having been warned June last year?

It is patently obvious now why the Apartheid government got rid of their nuclear bombs BEFORE giving the country to blacks, especially with the 118 BEE and affirmative action laws and regulations, making it illegal to employ whites in government departments, meaning there are not many Europeans about to keep an eye on things. The atom bomb was thrown under Gwede Mantashe, the energy minister’s bum on Wednesday, when it became known that the board of Necsa, which is the National Atomic Energy Corporation of South A

Controversial Panyaza Lesufi’s online registration system plunges schools across SA into total chaos

Posted on Leave a comment

The placement of pupils by the Department of Education has created new crises, leaving parents and pupils furious.

Cases have been reported from certain schools in the Central Transvaal region that are hopelessly overcrowded, which have apparently been criticized for evading the truth many pupils have not even be placed yet.

What is alarming, however, is that pupils are so misplaced that they are now up to 40 km away from the school they have to travel to every day.

The chaos that prevailed at many schools on the first day of school was fiercely denied by Gauteng spokesperson Lesufi of the education department

Educators believe that whites should immediately take their children out of the crowded classrooms and place them in private schools where adequate space and good teaching methods are applied.

The excellent academic achievements of BCVO schools have shown that pupils not only receive excellent education but also broaden their knowledge in a safe, p

SA in crisis while ANC eats cake, celebrating its 108 years

Posted on Leave a comment

The ruling Anc party,was holding a rally in Kimberley celebrating its 108 years.This celebration, which is usually accompanied by a jovial mood of song and dance by party leaders, members and supporters, happens during a time when the country has been plunged into several crises of epidemic proportions. Can the ANC really afford to celebrate? Can it afford to pop Champagne during such difficult times faced by the country?

Poverty levels are accelerating, inequality is deepening, unemployment levels have reached the highest percentage of 29.1% in the last quarter of 2019, the highest recorded by Statistics SA since 2008, with 9.6 million South Africans currently unemployed, 8.6 million of these being black.

The economy is battling to recover from a technical recession, with the country constantly facing a threat of being given junk status by rating agencies.

One of the major crises facing the country is the power utility Eskom, which has struggled to keep the l

Eskom with a debt burden of R450 billion may be the downfall of ANC regime

Posted on Leave a comment

Political analysts say the actions of high-ranking officials in Eskom could lead to the demise of the ANC government.

The pressure is mounting on the ruling ANC regime from the inner circles as well as opposing structures as well as from extreme groups to act against those responsible for the mess in which the power supplier is currently facing its debt burden of R450 billion.

The claims are varied, but many expect the ANC to take action against Public Enterprise Minister Pravin Gordhan, who is closely concerned with Eskom’s problems.

The Red Brigade is demanding Gordhan’s sacking, while Deputy President David Mabuza himself helped to throw Gordhan under the bus.

There is also a feud against Ramaphosa, from people who believe he should have forced Eskom to stay with his company in order not to employ any loadshedding before January 13.

With all the turmoil, this could eventually lead to the disintegration of the ANC, which could have far-reaching consequ
