Brutality continues in SA just before Xmas! Six attackers descend on elderly couple’s farm – Injured farmer wife escapes, seeking help barefoot at night

Posted on Leave a comment

Six farm attackers smashed a firearm to pieces on the heads of the elderly couple, Gert (81) and Joey (75) Pienaar from Dewetsdorp in the early hours of Monday morning.

The couple heard a window break in their home on the farm shortly after midnight on Monday morning, but before they could do anything, they were attacked in their bedroom.

The men demanded the safe’s keys and money.

Jannie van Tonder, the couple’s son-in-law, says the attackers hit them over the head with a glass bottle and a rifle flask and also stabbed them with a knife.

“My father-in-law’s shin was kicked and they assaulted my mother-in-law and stabbed her in the arm.”

“The terrorist apparently believed there was a lot of money in the house and broke open to the floorboards and flipped the whole house in search of money,” says Van Tonder.

The attackers tied up Gert and Joey, but she was able to untie herself and escaped to seek help.

The attackers, meanwhile, stole two handguns a

VIVA ANC! Bethal has been without water for 26 consecutive days after ANC takeover

Posted on Leave a comment

FF Plus is about to put a complaint in at the Human Rights Commission (HRC) after large parts of ANC-controlled Bethal, Mpumalanga’s taps have already been dry for 26 consecutive days.

The problems of the Govan Mbeki local municipality apparently arose just a month after the ANC took over the municipality after the local by-election held on October 9. FF Plus councillor, Deon De Vries said that the FF Plus only needed votes after the DA ward councillor resigned. The FF Plus’ support grew from 4.31% to 35.4% but was still just too low to secure a victory. De Vries says the cause of this water shortage is unknown.

But, according to some sources, the bulk water supplier, Rand Water, has not installed enough pumps to supply enough water to the town, while there is also the possibility that Rand Water has imposed water restrictions due to overdue water debt of R272 million from the Govan Mbeki municipality.

Meanwhile, all residents of Bethal and the Govan Mbeki Mun

SA’s children are hungry, sick and neglected – 1 in 31 children dies before their fifth birthday – ANC regime neglects the children of our country

Posted on Leave a comment

According to the 2019 South African Child Guage, 1 in every 31 children in the country dies before reaching the age of 5. Most of the children die due to preventable diseases. ANC regime neglects the children of our country.

While many holidaymakers are in a holiday mood and excited about Christmas Day approaching, as in the rest of the year, a tragedy plays out around us. Children are dying unnecessarily.

In South Africa, we are regularly reminded that youth is our most precious possession and is the future of tomorrow. But how much do we invest in them if one in every 31 children dies of most common preventable diseases before they are five years old?

In a recent report in Cape Town, the “South African Child Gauge 2019” deals with the health of children and adolescents. In this document, the 14th of its kind was drafted under the direction of the Children’s Institute at the University of Cape Town with partners such as the University of the Witwatersrand

IT’S LATELY “SPEEDCOP BRUTALITY” AND NOT JUST POLICE BRUTALITY IN SA. THIS MATTER MUST BE ADDRESSED.

Posted on Leave a comment

We all know that sometimes there are policemen who enforce brutality beyond limits, but if I have to face so much crime every day, especially at the rate of crime in South Africa, my fuse will also be short. Understandable, though not always acceptable when racially linked.

Nowadays, the citizens are often harassed and threatened by traffic men and women, who force their “newly discovered “power” on people. I know of a personal case of a woman who was so severely intimidated at Bethal 2 pm in a main street that she had nightmares for weeks afterwards, and she had done nothing wrong.

It is absolutely insane how the hell is loose these days are loose in the cities and on roads where they are hiding like hungry …….. around every corner to catch people for every little thing, to loot and humiliate them. It is no longer just one incident, those who managed to take videos are in the minority. THERE are HUNDREDS OF CITIZENS THAT JUST KEEP QUIET AND PAY A BRIBE TO GE

Eskom engineer not entitled to promotion because he is white, no wonder the power utility is in such a mess

Posted on Leave a comment

A white engineer at Eskom is being assisted by Solidarity trade union after he applied 2 times for posts at the power station where he currently works – posts for which he was the best candidate – but was told that the posts can’t go to him because he is a white male.

Eskom’s initial plan was to reduce whites in engineering posts with 336 but that plan was dropped in February this year after the Eskom CEO Phakamani Hadebe asked for a postponement from the Labour department because of a critical skills shortage. A black candidate who was not fully qualified got the one post for which the white engineer applied in a temporary capacity because there is no black engineer available who is fully qualified. The post has to do with risk management of high pressure equipment and an engineer has to have a specific certificate to be able to do that.

The white engineer has that certificate, the black engineer don’t and now the white engineer still has to do the job of the bl

Farmers do not take nonsense; scared stock thieves flee to police station after failed stock theft attempt

Posted on Leave a comment

Wild chase of thieves ends in Parys police station with a group of farmers briefly on their heels after a failed stock theft attempt.

A farmer and Pastor of the AGM Church in Vredefort Juan Greef became aware on the evening of Friday 20 December 2019 that about 100 sheep were stolen on his farm. Farmers in the vicinity of the S80 road at Vredefort were warned earlier that cattle thieves were planning to loot sheep.

Greef reported the incident to the Vredefort Dome’s community policing forum, after which members blocked off roads in an attempt to find the cattle thieves.

According to Greef, the thieves drove the sheep through 5 farms, but as far as they walked, they lost some of the sheep.

According to Network 24, a suspicious pickup truck was spotted in the area around 4:50 a.m. Saturday, during which farmers ordered the driver to stop. These 19 sheep from Juan Greeff were closed under a tarpaulin on the back of a bakkie. Greeff says some of them a

Police brutality becoming the norm in SA – Another woman assaulted by police, Sinoville, South Africa

Posted on Leave a comment

On Monday 16 December 2019, two black men were trespassing on a couple’s property and the Sinoville police attended to the complaint. According to the complainant, Cherize Paice, the police refused to get out of their vehicle and ordered the couple to bring the trespassers to them. The woman said “They had the worst attitudes and were all very racist. I started taking pictures and made a video and the one male policeman came to me and wanted my cellphone, i was then threatened with assault. The female policewoman then started brutally assaulting me in an attempt to get the phone which i had hid in my bra, she was so racist and swearing at me continuously”.

“My word were they not supposed to get out and do their job”?

“I have a serious back problem with rods in and have epilepsy. My seizures start immediately when I get anxious. She made so many racist remarks and was swearing and hit me and grabbed me and threw me on the ground trying to get my cellph

Controversial District Six is going to be redeveloped – the process will cost taxpayers millions of dollars – But will it have a significant benefit?

Posted on Leave a comment

The Minister of Agriculture and Land Reform, Thoko Didiza, has apparently announced a comprehensive plan for the redevelopment of the once-controversial District Six, in Cape Town.

A structure, known as the District Six Working Committee, has apparently re-identified the District Six area as a colored residential area, which will now be transferred in various phases by 2020.

However, it remains unclear how the various phases will enable “transfer”, and what it will entail.

Approximately 954 claims have been made to transfer the properties in the area again to people who used to live in District Six, many of whom were relocated with their parents.

Observers say it is unclear why people yearn for an area that could bring billions of rand costs to taxpayers while having no significant benefit of moving to the area.

SA faces losses of R12 billion after US threatens to kick the ANC regime out of a tax-free export agreement

Posted on Leave a comment

The United States is threatening to kick SA out of its tax-free export agreement which could lead to job losses and economic disadvantages.

The threat comes after it became known that the ANC’s president would sign a bill.

Cultural groups have apparently urged Cyril Ramaphosa not to sign the Copyright Amendment Bill, as the US threat could be implemented, meaning at least 1,200 workers would be left without a refuge.

The signing by Ramaphosa will mean that South Africa will lose an R12bn loss on exports to the US, something the country can hardly afford.

If SA were to be removed from the US preferential list, it could also cause the country’s exports to fall drastically, which would now be highly undesirable in the current economic climate.
