Who Captured Who? Ramaphosa Complements his Hijacked “Pick ‘n Mix” Zondo Commission on State Capture, which he Hijacked from Zuma!

Posted on Leave a comment

Although the corruption of the Commission on State Corruption is quite visible to those who pay attention, it seems that Ramaphosa fooled half of the people and turned the Zondo Commission into a self-promotion platform, just as he did with the ANC Zuma Violence, which he used to strengthen his power in the ANC and in government. An opinion poll has shown mixed reactions to the work done by the State Commission of Inquiry, since it was set up three years ago.

The commission officially concluded oral testimony last week with the controversial testimony of Cyril Ramaphosa, but deputy chief justice of the Commission, Raymond Zondo, said they could call a few more people if absolutely necessary. He was joking.

Wie Kaap Wie? Ramaphosa Komplementeer sy Gekaapte “Pick ‘n Mix” Zondo Kommissie oor Staatskaping, wat hy van Zuma Gekaap het!

Posted on Leave a comment

Al is die korrupsie van die kommissie na staatskorrupsie heelwat sigbaar vir diê wat aandag skenk, blyk dit dat Ramaphosa helfte van die mense gefop het, en die Zondo Kommissie omgekeer het na ‘n self promoverings platform, net soos hy gedoen het met die ANC Zuma geweld, wat hy gebruik het om sy mag in die ANC en in die regering  te versterk. ‘n Meningspeiling het gemengde reaksies getoon op die werk wat die staatskommissie van ondersoek verrig het, sedert dit drie jaar gelede gestig is.

Die kommissie het verlede week amptelik mondelinge getuienis afgehandel met die omstrede getuienis van Cyril Ramaphosa, maar adjunkhoofregter van die ondersoek, Raymond Zondo, het gesê dat hulle nog ‘n paar mense kan bel indien dit absoluut nodig is. Hy het gespot.

Eskom could be facing yet another corruption scandal with regards to the high demand of coal

Posted on Leave a comment

Competition in the coal industry is influenced by the small number of mines that have to meet the high demand for coal.

The large coal mining groups therefore have a firm grip on the industry, and while Eskom is struggling to keep up with its R440bn debt burden, its bargaining power has dropped to a low.

Mining houses are aware of the state of affairs, and two of the largest mines, South African Energy Coal (Saec) and Seriti Resources, are apparently in the midst of the battle to obtain contracts.

If the Competition Commission approves an agreement, 45% of all coal Eskom purchases will come from one mining group.

The rest of the coal at Eskom apparently comes mainly from the same mining house, which raises the question of how such an agreement can be reached with the Competition Committee’s approval

Shale Gas energy can help Eskom to contribute to greener economy, it is a pity that there is no money for this initiative and underground water can be destroyed

Posted on Leave a comment

Experts believe the solutions to all of Eskom’s problems lie in converting to gas to eliminate coal pollution.

The investigation shows that gas will eventually be cheaper than coal, while the gas plant will cause about 80% less air pollution.

However, the conversion will be accompanied by high expenses, and the power supplier does not have a single cent to accomplish it.

In addition to the cost of conversion, there is the fear that renewed efforts will be made to mine the Great Karoo for underground gas, while destroying the region’s underground water.

A Brazilian expert says they have gained years of experience with clean energy systems such as hydro-energy generation, sugarcane and ethanol, which can all help to produce cleaner generation.

ANC regime is debating over power supply – will it be the coal with its pollution, or nuclear power with its hazardous waste?

Posted on Leave a comment

The so-called Integral Resources Plan of the ANC Government’s broader details in all its various forms must apparently be finalized to be submitted to Cabinet in September this year.

That debate that is currently underway is about what course to take – will it be the coal with its pollution, or nuclear power with its hazardous waste.

The Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Gwede Mantashe, should eventually point out the desirability of a particular choice.

He took over Jeff Radebe’s portfolio and now has to move his move to a new direction to the cabinet and convince them which choice is best for the country and its people.

If he prefers nuclear power, thousands of jobs are in the pipeline, and with nuclear as a choice, there are so many obstacles for an African country, that the risk may be much greater than the pollution caused by coal.

The suspicion is that the minister will recommend that coal as well as nuc

Guptas at it again – workers unpaid but lavish R100m double wedding planned – most likely funded by the ANC-regime?

Posted on Leave a comment

The Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi where the Gupta family are reportedly hosting a lavish double wedding in February 2019.

The Guptas are reported to be hosting a lavish double wedding at a palatial hotel in Abu Dhabi.

The AmaBhungane Centre for Investigative Journalism published a nine-page wedding invitation on Friday and said the bash, an event lasting five days between February 19 and 23, could end up costing as much as R100m.

“The wedding is a double-feature, with Rajesh ‘Tony’ Gupta’s daughter Shubhangi Singhala marrying Chetan Jain and Atul Gupta’s son Srikant Singhala tying the knot with Akhya Bansal.

“This is the third publicly lavish wedding the family has funded,” said AmaBhungane.

The logos of Gupta companies in South Africa, including the Koornfontein mine where miners have gone unpaid, are featured in the wedding invitation.

The publication said a request for comment direct

Uncovering the Truth – That’s why Eskom is employing loadshedding and Jan van Riebeeck’s nor apartheid can be blamed for the failed state entity

Posted on Leave a comment

An anonymous engineer at Eskom revealed on social media the problems and forecasting of the failed state entity.

50% of coal power stations are out of order and will only be operational again in three years time.
Four of the six turbines at one power station have “broke down” due to poor grade coal (supplied by Gupta’s).
No or little maintenance has been done in the past four years.

All this said, loadshedding will be our forecast in January, and this will make the fierce economy even more damaging and more bankrupt.
