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

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

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.

Release of 14,647 criminal – political prison gets no mercy while thugs and murderers will soon be back on the streets – What is Ramaphosa trying to achieve?

Posted on Leave a comment

As a gesture of reconciliation, the president of South Africa has informed 14 647 criminals that he will suspend their prison sentence and that they will be on the streets again soon. On the street? To rob and plunder?

These people have not yet all been rehabilitated and most of them will probably be guilty of a crime shortly after release.

Even from the black ranks, Ramaphosa has been accused of “striking the face” of South Africans and law enforcement – the Inkatha Freedom Party said.

Questions are being asked about political prisons that have remained in prison since the apartheid era and will receive no presidential grace.

WATCH VIDEO | Cyril Ramaphosa’s speech full of lies: True reconciliation cannot take place without taking back the land that was stolen by the Afrikaners from the Bantu people

Posted on Leave a comment

Monday on the 16th December, 2019 in Bergville , KwaZulu Natal President Ramaphosa gave a speech. Included in this speech was the controversial and acutely serious issue of; Land Expropriation Without Compensation. He said that True Reconciliation cannot take place without Taking the Land, the Land SHALL be returned.

The attached video is of the FULL speech, use the slider to reach around 6:56 into the video to listen to the beginning of the important part of the speech.

Ramaphosa has a strange way of expressing so-called “Nation building” and overcoming as he puts it “a bitter past” with his announcement of “Land Expropriation Without Compensation” is no way to build a nation or did he not learn anything from all that went on in ZIMBABWE? Land Reform as Mugabe referred to it did not work out well for Zimbabwe.

Buckle up folks the ride is going to get very bumpy and there will be consequences. BE PREPARED – BE VIGILANT AND ACTION IS ANTIDOTE TO DESPAIR

Vicki Momberg does not qualify for a reduced sentence, but the AbaThembu king jailed for violent crime is eligible

Posted on Leave a comment

Real estate agent Vicki Momberg was sentenced to an effective two-year imprisonment for racist remarks to police and emergency services when she sought help after she was the victim of theft in North Riding in February 2016. The incident is on camera trapped.

Although the authenticity of Momberg’s words is undeniable, her sentence is surprising. A first offender convicted of crimen injuria will usually be sentenced to a fine and suspended jail on condition that the offender does not re-offend

The King does, but Momberg doesn’t?

Criminal Law Attorney Ulrich Roux was not impressed by Ramaphosa’s Christmas gift to many prisoners. Ramaphosa announced on Monday during Reconciliation Day in Bergville, KwaZulu-Natal, that the punishment of certain categories of sentenced offenders will be reduced.

According to Chrispin Phiri, DKD spokesperson Momberg is also not “eligible” to participate in the DKD’s rehabilitation programs in prison. He stated that escaped or fug

SA wants Guptas to pay for their part in the state-capture saga, but whether Emirates will extradite them is another matter

Posted on Leave a comment

There is no truth in the allegations that a delegation from South Africa is to the Emirates and will return with the Guptas.

It has been confirmed that a delegation has indeed travelled to the United Arab Emirates to negotiate the possibility of the extradition of the Guptas, but it may take months before the extradition takes place if the negotiations are carried out successfully.

The delegation, however, is not only focused on the Gupta case, and is said to be discussing other matters with the Emirate government.

Whether negotiations on the Guptas’ extradition will be successful is uncertain, and opinion polls suggest the Guptas may decide to leave the Emirates before a final settlement with South Africa is made.

The delegation of ministers and law enforcement officials is expected to hold talks in Abu Dhabi with representatives of the Emirate government.

We will kill their children, we will kill their women, we will kill anything we find on our way” – NPA failed to bring BLF leader Mngxitama accounted for his hate speech and inciting violence against whites

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA now considers legal action to compel the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to provide satisfactory answers to the prosecution of Black First Land First (BLF) leader Andile Mngxitama.

This comes more than a year after Mngxitama threatened and incited his followers to kill white women and children, the NPA still cannot give a clue as to whether he will be prosecuted for this.

In December 2018, Mngxitama spoke to a large audience in Potchefstroom, North West, and enticed them to kill five white people for every one black person killed. He continued to threaten women and children: “We will kill their children, we will kill their women, we will kill anything we find on our way”.

TAU SA lodged a complaint of hate speech against Mngxitama on December 11, 2018, with the police. Since then, TAU SA has repeatedly asked about the progress of the case, and thousands of people have also added their names to TAU SA’s petition on this.

“From the most recent lett
