Has Corporate SA Been Infected by ANC Corruption, Greed & Negligence? Dimension Data NTT Case Study

Posted on Leave a comment

The Untouchables in a Gangster’s Paradise? Is it reasonable or ethical to make use of companies that do not consider themselves to be held accountable, for their actions in any private or public enterprise? While Big Tech has become seemingly untouchable, even from the US Supreme Court or Whitehouse, the same culture of supremacy, greed, lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of responsibility seems to have created and sustained an environment in South Africa where IT negligence is acceptable, and lack of accountability is the norm, even when it comes to government institutions, contracts and tenders.

Just a few of the institutions in South Africa that have had their systems breached just over the last few weeks include: Transnet, Department of Justice, SA Space Agency, African Bank to name but a few, so the situation in South Africa has really gotten serious, yet no one is talking about it, especially not the so called IT Tech Media who are

Coincidence? High Court Rules in Favour of IS / Dimension Data, Both of Whom Failed to Keep Crucial IT Software Updated!

Posted on Leave a comment

Surely companies that defend a failure to maintain vital IT systems, should not be allowed anywhere near government contracts to support systems serving the people of South Africa? In fact, they should not be allowed any systems at all, but particularly government systems that could be infiltrated such as SARS, IEC, Home Affairs, EVDS, Eskom etc. especially given that SA Court systems are already insecure as SA-News recently reported.

Internet service provider iSAT South Africa has been struggling with an ugly ongoing dispute with the company formerly trading as Internet Solutions which was taken over by Dimension Data. Dimension Data/NTT Ltd stands accused of causing severe financial and reputational harm to iSAT over their failed cloud system called CVM, which iSAT had been using since 2

Some ANCYL Candidates Left off PR Party Lists – Upset They Might Miss Their Chance at Systemic Corruption and not Become Millionaires?

Posted on Leave a comment

#BaBBEE – There are problems in the ANC gravy train paradise after ANC Youth League members furiously protested over their exclusion from the list of PR councillors. Internal divisions are raging among the ruling ANC after two youth league regions, in the Free State and Limpopo, expressed their anger over the exclusion of the youth candidates names in the candidate list for the upcoming local elections. Given the systemic corruption in municipalities, they are probably angry they will not be able to become millionaires through systemic corruption.

The ruling party’s condemnation comes from within by statements issued by the ANC Youth League in the Thabo Mofutsanyane district in the Free State, and from a similar structure in the Vhembe district in Limpopo.

ANC Party No Longer More Important Than Self or Country? Despite Billions of Corruption, ANC Party Can’t Pay Salaries and Could Miss Election Deadline

Posted on Leave a comment

Live by the Strike, Die by the Strike – Despite Billions amassed by the corrupt ANC leadership, the ANC Party can not pay it’s staff, who are now on a Go Slow strike. Even the possibility that their candidates might not be able to register in time for the election, is not enough motivation for them to put a hand in their own ill gotten gains. This proves that the ANC leadership’s priorities lie in self-enrichment and not the ANC Party or the country.

The ANC runs the risk that its candidates will not be registered by the Election Committee (IEC) deadline of 23 August, for the municipal elections, as party staff refuse to work overtime and weekends, due to outstanding salaries and other benefits.

Controversial ‘Land or Death’ party BLF, finally deregistered as political party

Posted on Leave a comment

“The political party Black First Land First (BLF) was finally registered as a political party. The South African Electoral Court on Thursday rejected the BLF’s appeal against its deregistration in July this year,” says Dr. Pieter Groenewald, FF Plus leader.

“In terms of section 16 (1) (c) of the Electoral Commission Act (Act 51 of 1996), the IEC may not register a political party that excludes membership on the basis of race, color or ethnicity. The BLF’s constitution states in Article 4 that only black people may be members of this party.

“In its appeal, the BLF has argued, among other things, that the wording in its constitution that only blacks may be part of the party has been misinterpreted and that people of other racial groups can be seen as black.

“The FF Plus argued that the BLF, through its leader, Andile Mngxitama, made it clear throughout the day that whites were not allowed to join the BLF. It was declared so under oath and also said in various me

BLF bites the dust – IEC has deregistered the Black First Land First as a political party

Posted on Leave a comment

This is after an complaint by the Freedom Front Plus that the BLF excluded membership on the basis of race.

According to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) statement: “Admissions by the BLF in its response to the appeal had served to clarify the position of the party, namely to exclude white people from membership.”

The FF Plus has welcomed the decision by the IEC, describing it as a victory.

“The fact that the appeal was granted means that justice prevailed. The FF Plus has been fighting for law and order in this case since January.

“It is unacceptable that the IEC violated the act by registering the BLF in the first place. Legislation may not be seen as mere guidelines, it must be complied with. No one is above the law,” says the party’s leader Pieter Groenewald.

BLF heads to court over IEC’s ‘unjust decision’ to de-register it as political party – believes that they have “strong prospects of success” on appeal

Posted on Leave a comment

BLF deputy president Zanele Lwana said in a statement on Wednesday that the IEC had made an “unjust decision”.

“This is a banning order against BLF.”

The IEC announced in a statement on Monday it was de-registering the BLF as a political party, after the FF+ appealed against the BLF’s registration because it excluded membership based on race.

The IEC defended its decision to approve the BLF’s registration in 2016, as it said the BLF’s constitution did not expressly exclude white people from membership.

But the IEC de-registered the party after its leader Andile Mngxitama admitted to the Electoral Court that it’s constitution excluded white people from joining based on their race.

Lwana believes the BLF has “strong prospects of success” on appeal.

“We believe the IEC was bullied by the racist FF+ into banning our movement. The FF+ is terrified of BLF because it knows that we will ensure that land exp

Violence will be knocking at your door declares BLF after IEC refuses to register the party for municipal elections in 2019

Posted on Leave a comment

The extremely radical and controversial leader of the Black First Land First (BLF) says there will be violence if the Independent Electoral Commission refuses to register its party for the forthcoming municipal elections of 2019.

He made the remark after it was disclosed that the BLF may not participate in the election in terms of the constitution that clearly notes that the conduct of hate speech and declaring of genocide is condemned.

He raised the threat during a media interview with reporters and said if the IEC prevented him from participating in the forthcoming election, violence would break out in South Africa.

Earlier, in a speech, he encouraged his audience to kill white people, which led to severe reactions from different resorts.

Meanwhile, it is expected that President Ramaphosa will act or at least give a warning but it did not happen.
