Ramaphosa’s land theft approach – While the world is watching Ramaphosa with anticipation regarding the land-grab program, it becomes clearer that he has a clever election

Posted on Leave a comment

While the Western world is watching what the ANC president, Cyril Ramaphosa, is going to do with regards to the land-grabbing program, it becomes clearer that he has a clever approach towards to upcoming election.

Political analysts point out that the president suddenly no longer focus on the country’s well-developed farms as a target in his quest.

There is apparently one explanation for this, that is the fear that the country will go without food and scare away the foreign investors.

Now, state land, and unutilized land is becoming the object and it will only become prominent among people’s attention after the election.

The land distribution program came because of two elements that threatened the ANC. Firstly, the Malema radicals have instigated illegal land grab action that impressed many black voters, and secondly, the ANC had to get something new to retain its voters, a political analyst

ANC regime wants to merged certain ministries after 25 years of mismanagement and reduce the number of provinces

Posted on Leave a comment

Cyril Ramaphosa, the president of our failed rainbow nation, wants to merge several ministries after 25 years of mismanagement and reduce the number of provinces.

The number of ministers will be reduced from 34 to 25 with only 15 deputy ministers.

The number of provinces should be reduced to six. Currently, there are 35 ministers and 37 deputy ministers in the ANC Cabinet.

Economists believe it will make no contribution to getting the country out of its economic dilemma, and consider it “too small for a big problem”.

Trustworthiness of Ramaphosa under scrutiny – Not once, when he was part of the ANC-regime’s system in the Zuma-era did he ever said a word regarding the grand-scale corruption to the collapse of the economy to state capture

Posted on Leave a comment

For 4 years as second in command to Jacob Zuma as deputy-president he never saw any corruption, he never heard of any corruption, and he never spoke against corruption? Who is he trying to fool?

The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) on Monday published a scathing open letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa, criticising him for being “in the belly of the beast which was the [Jacob] Zuma administration”.

In a statement issued on the IFP’s official website, Mkhuleko Hlengwa, IFP national spokesperson, writes: “Utterances attributed to you that in Davos you spoke of ‘nine wasted years’ under Mr Zuma have taken me aback with a sense of shock as they are said with a very opportunistic view to distance yourself from the grave realities of those years, particularly for the poor majority as we saw everything from grand-scale corruption to the collapse of the economy to state capture.

Ramaphosa has, in several speeches, referred

Ramaphosa’s share in SA’s dilapidated state is questioned and his latest press release is inconsistent: “I did not deliberately mislead Parliament about R500 000 Bosasa donation”

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa, in a statement to the Public Protector, says he “did not deliberately mislead Parliament” regarding the R500 000 Bosasa contribution to his 2017 ANC presidential campaign.

The statement follows Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane confirming on January 25 that she would investigate whether Ramaphosa had lied about a campaign donation received from controversial facilities company Bosasa, now known as African Global Operations (AGO).

Mkhwebane’s decision came after DA leader Mmusi Maimane and EFF leader Julius Malema on several occasions said that Ramaphosa had lied to Parliament about the money his ANC presidential campaign received from Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson. Ramaphosa met with Mkhwebane on January 29, to discuss the donation.

Bosasa has received billions of rands in government contracts over the past decade and has been implicated in alleged corruption.

Its alleged dubious financial transact

SONA: Round 3 – The Circus Returns as EFF Threaten To Remove Ramaphosa as President!

Posted on Leave a comment

EFF chairperson Dali Mpofu on Thursday reiterated party leader Julius Malema’s warning that the red berets may disrupt President Cyril Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) on February 7.

“He must come clean before SONA, otherwise we will invoke ordinary parliamentary proceedings and have SONA converted into a presidential question-and-answer session,” Mpofu told Talk Radio 702’s breakfast host Bongani Bingwa on Thursday morning.

On Wednesday, Malema warned that “chaos could erupt again at this year’s SONA”, owing to recent corruption allegations that emerged at the commission of inquiry into state capture.

Malema warned Ramaphosa to come clean on his “dealings with facilities company Bosasa”.

The EFF leader was addressing the media at a briefing at the party’s headquarters in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.

At the state capture commission of inquiry this week,

Massive land reform scam uncovered: ANC officials handed out farms and millions in grants to beneficiaries who did not qualify and our beloved President Cyril Ramaphosa knew all about it and yet did nothing!

Posted on Leave a comment

Fraud “on an enormous scale” has been uncovered in the land reform programme in which government officials handed out farms and millions in grants to beneficiaries who did not qualify.

The details are contained in a report by the Special Investigating Unit which recommends that 42 people, including the government officials, be prosecuted for fraud and corruption linked to land scams. Business Day obtained the report this week through a Promotion to Access to Information application. It was handed to President Cyril Ramaphosa in March 2018.

A report by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) recommends that 42 people – including government officials – be prosecuted for fraud and corruption linked to land reform programmes.

The report was handed over to President Ramaphosa in March 2018 but was only recently uncovered by BusinessDay after it submitted a Promotion to Access to Information Application (PAIA).

Despite his promise of a “new dawn”, Ramaphosa can’t stop the ANC-regime’s decline, even with a win at the polls

Posted on Leave a comment

In recent months there has been conjecture that if South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa wins a suitably large majority of the upcoming national vote, he will be able to achieve two notable outcomes.

Firstly, he’ll be able reverse the governing African National Congress’s (ANC’s) slide into populism and factionalism. And he’ll be able to see off challenges from the radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the country’s third largest party.

The argument is that he would then have a sufficiently strong mandate to undertake economic reforms needed to fix South Africa. This includes broadening competition, limiting the size and scope of the state-owned entities and expanding the public transport system. Other things that need fixing include reducing red tape to boost entrepreneurship and small businesses, improving the education system and trade integration in the region.

But critics and opposition party leaders hold a counter view. T

Lies, Lies and just more lies! It is absolutely sickening how Ramaphosa is deceiving the world by telling foreign investors at Davos that law and order are recovering in the SA, but in the same breath does not mention anything about the 50 killings that take place daily

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC president, Cyril Ramaphosa, announced that plans to stabilize Eskom would be announced within “a few weeks”.

According to him, the power supply is therefore unstable. However, he has not expanded what the plans are to pay off the R420bn debt.

He also boasts in Davos that law and order are recovering in the country, but mention nothing of the 50 murders that take place daily in the country.

It is said corruption took place while Ramaphosa was in the seat as the ANC’s deputy president of the country and he did absolutely nothing to stop it. So why will he step in now? To recover under the dispensation of the ANC-regime where many corrupt people are sitting in key positions, will be a very challenging task and in some instances not physically possible.

Two ANC leaders singing different tunes and it is so confusing – Ace Magashule vows South African Reserve Bank will be nationalised whilst Ramaphosa was assuring business leaders in the private sector that the reserve bank would remain independent

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s secretary-general, Ace Magashule has revealed the ANC’s plans regarding the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). A couple days after the party’s NEC had their Lekgotla meeting, Magashule has returned with shocking news of the party’s aim: to nationalise the central bank.

South African Reserve Bank targeted for nationalisation by the ANC
South Africa’s reserve bank is one of the fewest central banks, in the world, that have private shareholders.

The Citizen, the bank has over 261 000 shares split between more than 600 private shareholders, with Parliament only able to function in a supervisory role within the spectrum.

Many of these shares are owned by people who do not reside in South Africa, the majority shareholder being Michael Duerr, a German with a 57.5% ownership stake in the central bank.

The ANC, largely the Jacob Zuma and Julius Malema faction, has always pushed for amendments to the Reserve Bank Act. The

Let’s have a look at why doctors and nurses are facing unemployment

Posted on Leave a comment

It’s the age of austerity and it’s bad news for doctors, nurses and patients alike — unless the state can do more with less.

Almost 200 posts for doctors and specialists remain unfilled at Gauteng’s four academic hospitals — and many of these posts are likely to remain empty, the health department says.

Gauteng hospitals can only fill half of its critical medical staff vacancies — positions that normally go to doctors, specialists and nurses, Gauteng health department deputy director general for clinical services Richard Lebethe says.

Hospitals were first informed about this via an April circular sent to hospitals.

The head of psychiatry at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, Wendy Friedlander, says medical officers are feeling the strain of almost 80 vacant posts.

“Doctors [now] have a much greater doctor to patient ratio. If you have more patients, what you can give in terms of time, facilities and resources
