ANC-regime has set it sight once again on hydraulic fracturing in the Karoo – The bankrupt government is constantly on the lookout for where they can still get money

Posted on Leave a comment

After more than two years of silence about the possibility of hydraulic fracturing, where high-pressure drilling techniques are used to release natural gas trapped in shale rock in the Karoo, the possibility of the unacceptable practice has risen again.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that the ANC still has its sights set on the practice of robbing the Karoo of its underground water sources with the extraction of shale gas.

The ANC’s Mantashe also said shale gas would soon be mined in the Karoo.

Strong action by experts has led the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal during July this year to cut off any possibility of hydraulic fracturing in the Karoo.

The ANC, which is constantly on the lookout for where they can still get money, has apparently made the claim that new methods have been developed to do the exploitation, but scientists say it is to put the same horse on a different saddle – nothing and the new methods must first prove globally that it has no

ANC president visits Russia for Russia-Africa meeting – Is it perhaps Russia’s first step to get African countries dragged under the Russian wing?

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s president Cyril Ramaphosa will apparently lead a delegation of African representatives to the first Russian-Africa meeting in the Russian city of Sochi, which will take place from October 23.

The two-day event aims to focus on three key areas, namely economic ties, joint project development, and humanitarian and social sector improvements.

Last year, Ramaphosa received a Russian delegation in South Africa under the banner of the so-called Brics, with the aim of attracting investors, but from which dates came.

Political analysts suspect the gathering in Russia is the first step to move African countries under the Russian wing.

Sex education taken too far? Randfontein High School has 34 black pupils who are pregnant – No doubt they will soon be standing in the queue for Child Grant as well

Posted on Leave a comment

A High School in Randfontein has more or less 34 pregnant pupils at school right now at this moment who is still sitting at their school desk, trying to pass their grade this year.

According to informed sources, one in 18 female pupils in the school is pregnant, and all possible measures taken, are useless.

The school has its own clinic, a sex education section, and a “sympathetic” team of teachers, but it apparently did not contribute to changing the scandalous condition.

The principal has admitted that they tried everything in their power to stop this epidemic, but however the school hasn’t yet managed to reduce the pregnancies.

Then again, educators believe that the provision of facilities by certain cultural groups is seen as a method of encouraging pregnancies.

59 billion bailout just been granted to struggling Eskom

Posted on Leave a comment

The National Assembly voted in favor of a special allocation bill on Tuesday that allows a bailout of R59 billion to struggling Eskom.

The bill was approved by 200 votes to 105 with ANC MPs believing the bill is essential to keep the lights on. These MPs argued that many of them grew up in a “permanent state of loadshedding” due to past inequalities.

Others, however, were opposed to this bill.

Nqabayomzi Kwankwa, MP of the United Democratic Movement (UDM), said it was astonishing that MPs were asked to “throw money at the problem” after Eskom reportedly paid R4bn to suppliers too much.

Eskom is about R500bn in the red.

DA Ashor Sarupen said Eskom seems to be burning money instead of coal. “Every citizen is a hostage of Eskom. We are hostages to the power cuts that cause huge economic losses. We are hostages to their bail requirements. We are hostages to their endless management crises, ”says Sarupen.

Wouter Wessels, FF Plus MP and chief spokespers

“Colonialists are to blame for crime in SA” – Former speaker of the ANC parliament made a total fool of herself during interview

Posted on Leave a comment

National Assembly speaker Baleka Mbete has raised eyebrows after a 49-minute interview with Al Jazeera’s Mehdi Hasan where she blamed South Africa’s legacy of crime on Europeans who colonised the country. “Criminality has been in South Africa for three centuries, especially after the colonialists came and brought crime from Europe to Africa,” Mbete said.

Among other things, she spoke well of the Nkandla upgrade and denied that the ANC was to blame for the state hijacking. She went so far as to say that the colonialists (see white) brought crime into the country and she does not know who was responsible for the Marikana massacre. Social media was not gracious with their judgment and condemnation of the interview and saw it as a painful reflection of South African political leadership.

Hasan of Al Jazeera – argued that while the British empire colonised South Africa, it did so to other countries too – also cited a World Bank statement which claimed South Africa to

Zille denies that she is the cause of black exodus from DA

Posted on Leave a comment

With the election of Helen Zille as the DA’s Federal Chairman and the resignation of Herman Mashaba as mayor of Johannesburg, Zille denied allegations during a radio interview that she was the common denominator causing many black members to leave the party.

Accusations that a right-wing hijacking of the DA has taken place have been posted on social media. That the party is now suddenly returning to a so-called “white” control does not go down well with the voters on the street.

Political analysts reckon that the reaction of black members and supporters could lead to the total collapse of the left-wing party that has managed to present an image of non-racism.

Dawie Roodt: “SA economy can be restored if Eskom privatizes”

Posted on Leave a comment

The South African economy can recover, but then the Ramphosa-regime must admit that it does not have the capacity to do so.

This is the opinion of an economic adviser who says the one big reason why the country stumbles economically is because the whole world sees how wrong the Ramaphosa regime is in times of severe economic decline in the country.

The extremely poor management applied at Eskom is one of the main reasons that billions of Rand end up in a bottomless pit, it is said.

Even Dawie Roodt confirms that the poor management of Eskom can be changed to make the power supplier effective again.

The most important mistake the regime has refused to rectify so far is to privatize Eskom so that the country can maintain an efficient power supply network that will also lead to international investors’ interest in coming back to SA.

Many flights from the SA Airways and its subsidiaries such as Comair have canceled flights because an audit report showed that aircraft were forbidden to take off.

The SA Aerospace Technical Division released the audit, which shows that there are “irregularities” that emerged with the audit.

Exactly what irregularities at SAL Technically led to the booths of dozens of aircraft, remains unclear.

Large-scale confusion prevailed at local airports on Tuesday after airlines were forced to cancel or delay domestic flights following a notice issued by the South African Civil Aviation Authority related to the “finding of irregularities” that must be corrected first.

Informed sources say SAA, Kulula, Mango and Comair airlines were affected, passengers had to be shuffled around on Tuesday after some of the aircrafts were not allowed to take off for safety reasons.

Foreign investors sell R25bn worth of shares in SA

Posted on Leave a comment

According to economists, investors are preparing for D-day for Eskom. South Africa is currently doing better in financial terms than Nigeria, Turkey and Lebanon.

Foreign investors have sold more than R25bn of the country’s shares and the Rand is among the five worst performing currencies against the Dollar.

Even Ramaphosa acknowledged that the situation at Eskom was untenable. Meanwhile, Gwede Mantashe says that SA does not have an energy crisis, but does have an energy problem!

Political analysts point out that the problems caused by Eskom will eventually lead to downgrading to junk status, and that jobs will reduce even further thereafter.
