VIDEO: “CoronaVirus Does Not Kill Black People” – Soweto Civil Rights Group HBR Takes Ramaphosa To Court Over #COVID19 #Lockdown

Posted on Leave a comment

While “BlackTwitter” as it is known in South Africa, have been spreading the myth that blacks cannot get CoronaVirus for weeks, it seems this misinformation has seriously taken hold amongst the black majority! This is probably the reason Ramaphosa had to rope in the army to enforce the lockdown.

A civil society group from Soweto called the Hola Bon Renaissance (HBR) Foundation, has taken Cyril Ramaphosa to the Constitutional Court over the 21-day lockdown in SA!

The lockdown was implemented at midnight on Thursday 26 March and prevents people from leaving their homes for anything other than essential services in an attempt to control the spread of the coronavirus.

ANC, EFF & Mainstream Media Are Literally Painting Targets on The Backs of Whites With Their Obsessive, Yet Hypocritical “White Man Evil, Black Man Good” Globalist Lies!

Posted on Leave a comment

“A CORRUPT ANC IS FAR WORSE THAN APARTHEID” We have yet to hear a single black politician explain to their voters that “Kill The Farmer, Kill The Boer“, is just a metaphor and not to be taken literally, as if it were an instruction! Why? Why is the daily slaughter of whites by blacks allowed, justified, ignored and even denied? We examine this deliberate creation of a twisted narrative, which is well funded, institutional and structural.

The more the ANC’s criminal nature, incompetence and large scale looting is revealed, the more the ANC needs to keep the narrative in place that all land was stolen by whites and that Apartheid was somehow a crime against humanity. This of course is to distract the masses from their crimes and to keep the black majority support. The ANC, supported by liberal media, is deliberately creating the notion that whites are evil thieves, against who the black majority needs to be protected. This perception leads to a sort of justi

Afrikaans as a language of instruction at Stellenbosch University will have to take a subordinate place – English will be the medium of instruction

Posted on Leave a comment

In June 2016, Stellenbosch University decided that English would be the language of instruction and that Afrikaans should take a subordinate place.

The vote cast by 113 against 10 votes in favor of the resolution is a clear indication that Afrikaans is being rejected by the government and certain opposition parties.

On Thursday, the Constitutional Court ruled that the university’s decision to make English the main language, with Afrikaans in addition, is a “reasonable” decision that should remain so.

Language policy judgement explained
Judge Johan Froneman confirmed the bench’s unanimous decision on Thursday. He explained his reasons for upholding the contentious language policy at Stellenbosch University, reasoning that too many students on campus are unable to learn subject matter when taught in Afrikaans:

“Brown and white speaking first years are able to be taught in English. Conversely though, many are able to be taught in Afrikaans a significant m

Minister of Police must pay R300,000 plus interest for wrongful, unlawful arrest

Posted on Leave a comment

The Constitutional Court ordered that the Minister of Police pay R300,000 plus interest since 2012 to Brian de Klerk for an unlawful, illegal, arrest.

A person has complained to De Klerk even though he had punched the complainant and was therefore injured, and the police decided to arrest De Klerk on the strength of it.

The law stipulates that a person must appear in court within 48 hours, but De Klerk has been in custody longer without being given the opportunity to state his case.

He was also not given the opportunity to apply for bail upon his first appearance in court, and had to return to the cells.

After the events, he decided to sue the Minister of Police, and the judge gave him the opportunity to state his case, and then ordered the police to show up.

Spare the rod, spoil the child – Giving your child a hiding at home remains illegal!

Posted on Leave a comment

According to a ruling by the Constitutional Court on Wednesday, corporal punishment in the future will be illegal in private households

The majority judges of the Constitutional Court claims that children can still be effectively disciplined without using moderate and reasonable chastisement, there are other means of enforcing discipline.

In November last year, the Constitutional Court heard an application by Freedom to Religion in South Africa (FOR SA) requesting that a 2017 Supreme Court ruling that corporal punishment in private households be set aside.

Daniela Ellerbeck, legal representative for FOR SA, said earlier that the Supreme Court ruling “will make criminals of well-meaning parents who love their children and only want the best for them”.

Ellerbeck said the Supreme Court ruling essentially meant that if a parent just gave their child a light blow to the hind, the parent could be arrested, prosecuted and convicted.

“In addition to the parent

Constitutional Court says the Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane is incompetent for her post after she lied under oath

Posted on Leave a comment

The Legal Practice Board was requested by Accountability Now (AN), a non-profit organization, to remove the name of the Public Protector (PP), Busisiwe Mkhwebane, from the advocates.

It follows the Constitutional Court’s ruling that she had acted and lied under oath. Adv Paul Hoffman, a director at AN, said in a letter to the Legal Practice Council that the findings against the PP are serious and final and that her honesty, integrity and competency as PP is affected.

Dr Pieter Groenewald, leader of the FF Plus says that the ruling and findings of the Constitutional Court this morning against the Public Protector (PP), Adv. Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who has, among other things, exceeded her mandate, is damning and in fact she says she is incompetent for office as South Africa’s EM.

These people are definitely ‘high as a kite’:- The Dagga Party wants to #HotboxTheHouse as it aims to contest elections

Posted on Leave a comment

The Dagga Party of South Africa is hoping to “#HotBoxTheHouse” as it prepares to contest this year’s elections and potentially have a say on cannabis legislation in Parliament, if it can raise the hefty R200 000 registration free.

“I ask you to stand ready to stand together around the cannabis tree at elections 2019,” party leader Jeremy Acton wrote on Facebook as he rallied like-minded thinkers to register to vote.

Also known as Iqela Lentsango, the party wants to be sitting among the legislators who will rework the law to regulate the use of the plant after the Constitutional Court ruled last year that criminalising private use was unconstitutional.

It tried to run in the 2014 general elections but could not afford the deposit at the time and so missed the deadline to be included on the ballot papers.

The Constitutional Court gave Parliament two years from September 2018 to revisit laws which Acton and co-campaigner Garreth Pr
