Grade 9 Certificate almost official – learners will now be able to leave school sooner and of course unemployment rate will also rise

Posted on Leave a comment

Cyril Ramaphosa approved the proposed education policy that allows learners to leave school in grade 9.  The move will allow learners to obtain a Grade 9 certificate and enter the workforce.

Angie Motshekga criticized her proposal for her fierce criticism but it now becomes official ANC policy. According to Ramaphosa, the move will focus on integrating learners sooner into the country’s workforce and the country’s economy.

With a matric certificate already worth little more than the paper on which it is printed, the step should be seen as an attempt to “improve” matric results due to a large number of learners leaving school at an early age.

Educators point out that the matrices do not find work, and that the Grade 9 pupils that leave school will increase the unemployment rate that will affect t SA to be graded more quickly to junk status in the economic field.

First major illegal land invasions of 2020 commence in Tshwane’s Silverlakes and Boschkop areas

Posted on Leave a comment

Following the first major land invasions of 2020 in Tshwane’s Silverlakes and Boschkop areas, business organisation Sakeliga today issued a warning to business and the public to guard against increasingly shrewd land invasion tactics by the EFF.

Over the course of several days this week, small groups of land invaders claiming to be from the EFF attempted to seize land held by developers to the North East of Pretoria. Striking at several sites around Silverlakes and Boschkop in the Tshwane area, invaders sought to clear “stands” on the properties, even naming these future settlements “Winnie Mandela View” with apparently at least three extensions thereto.

EFF reveals new tactics
While swift legal action and co-operation with the police have so far been holding the invaders at bay, increasingly sophisticated invasion tactics are complicating legal action and eviction. We point to two factors to be considered by property owners guarding against land invas

Mboweni has a screw loose, he now wants to open Lesotho’s borders to form one-state with SA

Posted on Leave a comment

It looks like Tito Mboweni has lost it completely. He issued a statement on social media stating that Lesotho must open its borders to form a federal state with South Africa.

This follows the political crisis in Lesotho. The country’s first “lady” is currently in flight after an arrest warrant was issued against her for the murder of the prime minister’s second wife. The European Union, the United Nations and the SA Development Community have been struggling to stabilize the situation in the neighboring country for 10 years.

Thousands of Basuto migrants and refugees are already living in South Africa. With a country like South Africa struggling to get its own affairs in order, it is futile to add another country that is plagued by riots and mismanagement as a federal state.

Livestock theft from Lesotho is already escalating in South Africa as thieves from the Mountain Kingdom supplement their “food shortages”.

Not at all something to be proud of! – SA has a third-rated army. Soldiers are poorly trained – Strength is equivalent to what it was in 1930

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa already seems to have a third-rated army, and its soldiers are not only poorly trained in warfare, but they also have a number of crooks in their ranks.

According to investigators, the recent burglary and theft of a number of army guns could not have happened without the cooperation of army members.

This is not the first time firearms have been “lost” by the military, and opinion-makers believe that much greater clutter is happening behind the scenes that remain to be discovered.

Concerns have been expressed that the weapons could be used in farm attacks and other robberies and that the police will not find the weapons and the culprits on time.

Four years ago, an independent body found that SA’s military had weakened to a level equivalent to what it was in 1930.

Bankrupt Eskom holds ANC regime hostage with ongoing #RollingBlackOuts

Posted on Leave a comment

It is not only the ANC’s president who lied to foreign countries and in parliament about SA’s condition but also sustained on another lie.

Eskom said he would ensure that no load shedding will be applied before January 13, and then the ANC’s Cyril Ramaphosa believed the lie and went on to sell the lying story to the whole of South Africa.

On January 5, #RollingBlackOuts shook the country with Phase 2 that lasted until 5am this morning.

This is because the poor workmanship at Medupi power station had to be blamed again for a conveyor belt breaking.

The fact that Koeberg had already supplied only 50% of its capacity throughout December was only announced on January 4.

Experts have told Die Vryburger it is becoming clearer that Eskom is holding the ANC government hostage because they want to pay performance bonuses of R1.5bn amid their bankruptcy.

Power consumers say that the only performance Eskom is rendering is to anger  its consumers.

SA’s expected economic growth is adjusted to 0.9% for 2020 – ANC regime is responsible for SA being in such a mess

Posted on Leave a comment

The World Bank has just adjusted South Africa’s projected economic growth to 0.9% for 2020 amid the uncertainty surrounding Eskom and load shedding. The 1.3% growth that the World Bank initially predicted for 2019 has now also been adjusted to 0.4%.

In spite of these realities, the ANC clings to the ideology that got us into this troubled position. President Ramaphosa explains what their approach to state-owned companies, so-called strategic assets, will remain:

“As we do this, we are clear that the state will retain ownership of all those state-owned enterprises that are strategic. This is so that these entities are able to perform the crucial economic and developmental functions that the market would not own be able to perform. ”

The government certainly does not intend to relinquish comprehensive state control and trust the free market. In the end, they placed SAA with terrible objection in business rescue – largely thanks to the continued pressure that Sol

Convicted “racist”Vicki Momberg is suing the state for R8,5 million

Posted on Leave a comment

Speaking to News24 on Thursday, Momberg’s lawyer, Anesh Sukdeo said her client was suing the South African Police Service (SAPS), justice ministers, provincial and national police commissioners as well as the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), for R8.5 Million for the unlawful arrest and detention effected on her on November 6.

Sukdeo said the R8.5 million claim includes R2.5 million for her unlawful arrest and detention from November 6 to December 27 at a rate of R50 000 per day, R1 million for defamation, pain, suffering and anguish, R2.5 million for malicious legal proceedings and another R2.5 million for wrongful and malicious legal proceedings.

The lawyer said while the police claimed there was a warrant of arrest instructing Momberg’s arrest on November 6, that was not the case and instead they had an “apprehension order”.

“When we got to court and saw the magistrate that dealt with Vicki’s matter initially is the very same

What does the ANC know about fitness? – Gyms and fitness trainers will be government regulated – and can be shut down – under a new draft plan

Posted on Leave a comment

Gyms and fitness trainers will be answerable to a new body that will be set up by the minister of sport, under a new draft law – with the power to close down gyms and suspend the registration of fitness professionals if they break the rules.

The Fitness Industry Regulatory Authority is one proposal in the draft National Sport and Recreation Amendment Bill published for public comment in December. The law is intended to give the minister of sport more direct control of sporting codes and to create various new bodies, including one to regulate “combat sport” and a Sport Arbitration Tribunal.

But the change with the biggest impact would be the fitness regulator, which under the current draft has wide powers and responsibilities that seem to cover pretty much anything resembling a gym, and anyone who helps others get and stay fit in exchange for money.

If passed, the law would allow the minister of sport, currently Nathi Mthethwa, to establish the fitness regula

Matric class of 2019 will struggle to find jobs – SA Youth unemployment rate rose to 58.2 percent in the third quarter of 2019

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa’s matric class of 2019 has achieved impressive results, but may struggle to find work as the country faces constrained employment in 2020.

John Botha, chief operation officer at Global Business Solutions, said that this is highlighted by the country’s current growth level. Using a labour elasticity formula he noted that for each 1% growth in the GDP there is a corresponding 0.7% growth in employment.

“With a forecast 1.5% growth in 2020 along with accelerating technological disruption, the best-case scenario is that there may be around 100,000 new jobs created,” he said.

“This is a major challenge given that more than 500,000 grade 12s left the secondary schooling system in 2019.”

South Africa’s unemployment rate climbed to 29.1% in the third quarter of 2019 – its highest rate in over 16 years, while the real unemployment rate is closer to 40%.

Botha’s comments align with data from the Manpower Group’s Employment Outlook

Eskom is now clearly lying, obfuscating and playing with words after it came to light that they are planning to pay out R1, 8 billion in bonuses by saying that it is 13th cheques, not bonuses.

Posted on Leave a comment

Take into consideration that it was Nersa – National Energy Regulator of South Africa – that called it bonuses in court papers, which is obviously statements made under oath.

Does Eskom now wants us to believe them over Nersa?
Eskom is now playing word and mind games with us by saying that it is 13th cheques, not bonuses . They also say that not all employees are entitled to these 13th cheques. That is where the lie alarm is going off and red flags are going up. What kind of employer does not give a uniform salary structure to its employees? Eskom also says. that employees can choose themselves if they want their total salary package to be divided into 12 or 13 cheques

So if we follow what Eskom has lied, we can then logically conclude that if an employee choose to have 13 pay packages per year and still gets an amount only intended for some employees, but not all, that amount only due for some is in fact a 14th cheque then.

If anyone still believes Eskom af
