SANDF robbed of at least 20 fully automatic R4 rifles, the firearms will most likely be for criminal activities – Was it an inside job? Where were the guards, and why could they not defend a strategic military installation?

Posted on Leave a comment

The brazen theft of at least 20 fully automatic R4 rifles from the Lyttelton South African National Defence Force Base  has sparked outrage and fear.

“Gun Owners of South Africa (Gosa) would like the public to know that these rifles are capable of fully automatic fire, civilians cannot buy these firearms.

“These will most likely go on to be used by cash in transit gangs, gangsters or violent criminals.

“This is just the latest in a very long line of case studies proving that the State is the very worst custodian of our security,” said Gosa chairperson Paul Oxley.

SANDF spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini yesterday confirmed the break-in at Engineering Formation, Lyttelton Tek Base.

“Investigations are underway, and a few suspects have been taken in for questioning,” Dlamini said.

Oxley noted it was the armed citizenry who were “the thin line protecting our beautiful nation from sliding into ruin”.

Fort Hare University collapses and once again apartheid is to blame for the decline

Posted on Leave a comment

What went wrong with Fort Hare University collapsing, and why has the media been silent for so long about the true facts?

These are the questions that are currently hanging in the air after it became known that an overall investigation into the university has not yet been completed.

Two prominent academics, prof. Chris Brink, a prof. Louis Molanu, has many questions asked about the hierarchy, to which there are apparently no answers as of yet.

The two professors have been appointed as assessors to determine why the university has deteriorated so drastically.

Their finding probably lifted the curtain only slightly on what happened when Fort Hare finally collapsed soon after the university’s board split.

In the end, the answer that so easily throws all the blame away from those responsible: The University is still suffering from the injustice of apartheid.

The slogan that is only recognized in English at the institution, {Jointly in Excellence ‘only bec

Brics Bank borrows bankrupt Eskom ‘R6 billion’ for battery system – Will the SOE ever be able to repay the loan and what happens if he is unable to do so?

Posted on Leave a comment

The bankrupt power provider has obtained a loan from the Brics Bank carried by five counties in the world, of which South Africa is one.

Eskom has secured a loan of R6bn with the aim to “store” electricity, which will work through a battery system.

The system will allow Eskom to store 360 MW across four provinces, but there are some resignations about the efficiency of its system, and some experts believe the money could have been better spent on setting up solar farms.

There are also concerns about Eskom’s ability to repay the loan at set times.

Black advantage at the expense of the entire country and its residents does not work – “Bring white engineers back to save Eskom from ruin” asks NUMSA union

Posted on Leave a comment

Skill, knowledge, competence, reliability, and realistic remuneration have won over the ideology of black favoritism at the expense of the entire country and its inhabitants.

The trade union Numsa has now, after 25 years of other thinking, called on the regime to put together a team of experts in collaboration with the unions to save Eskom from ruin.

The experts, comprising a list of some 350 engineers, must be brought back to support the new leader in the Eskom network.

Numsa says the power provider does not have the human resources to do the necessary maintenance at the power stations.

Observers and expert engineers say it is striking that Numsa is suddenly taking a turn around over the expertise to be brought back, while screaming for 25 years against the whites employed.

SA sport will follow the same path as SAA, Eskom with ANC interference” – Regime is simply unable to manage country, entities or municipalities

Posted on Leave a comment

“The Sports and Recreation Amendment Bill published last week is nothing more than an attempt by the ANC government to nationalize sport and thus once again expand and promote the party’s ideology at the expense of the country, “says Heloïse Denner, FF Plus MP and chief spokesperson for sport.

“The ANC has proven many times that it is unable to properly govern and manage the country, its institutions, municipalities and entities.

“Eskom, SAA, SABC and Prasa are just a few examples of this and organized sports will follow the same path if the bill is adopted in its current form.”

“Organized sport once again proved this year that government interference is not necessary. Where the right people are appointed in the right places who are experts in their field, South African sport is doing well. Siya Kolisi speaks for itself.

“Government intervention will inevitably endanger South African athletes and sports teams’ participation in international competitions su

ANC now wants to ‘nationalise’ all sporting bodies in SA

Posted on Leave a comment

Government catches administrators off guard, risks the country being banned

Government has published a draft bill which will “nationalise” all sporting bodies such as SA Rugby, Cricket SA and Athletics SA, a move that could also see the minister of sport being directly involved in team selection.

The bill is so expansive that it even includes some sort of national service for athletes and the power to jail sports people for certain offences.

It also proposes to transfer nearly all the powers currently held by sporting bodies to a deputy director-general of the department of sport and recreation.

The Amendment Bill on Sport and Recreation, published just before Christmas, has caught the country’s sports administrators off guard.

Kobus Marais, a board member of the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc), said if the bill was passed in its current form, South Africa would be kicked out of the Olympics because the international body ban

ANC regime’s Christmas gift to SA! Government wants to speed up the stealing of land this Christmas holidays – Expropriation suddenly accelerates

Posted on Leave a comment

The draft version of the constitutional amendment to change Article 25 of the Constitution, where the ANC regime can apply expropriation without compensation, was switched to a faster acceleration last Tuesday. The onset happened at a meeting of the ad hoc committee on the amendment of art. 25.

The proposed initial wording of the law amendment reads that a court may rule that legitimate and equitable compensation for a piece of land expropriated in the interest of land reform may be zero. However, it must be in accordance with national law that sets out specific circumstances within which a court may decide that a zero value can be legitimate and fair compensation.

The parliamentary legal advisers have pointed out that nothing in the process is removed from the constitutional article – the above is merely added. This would mean that compensation for expropriated land is the amount determined either by the parties or by the court.

The DA and FF Plus immediately
