Calls for Death to Americans at US Embassy in South Africa – SACP chant ‘One American, one bullet’ outside US embassy in Pretoria

Posted on Leave a comment

A threat of “one bullet, one American” was chanted outside the US embassy in Pretoria on Thursday, where hundreds of protesters gathered to protest against the US foreign policy in the Middle East.

“The Americans are the biggest terrorists in the world. They are responsible for terrorism in Cuba, Venezuela and many other countries in South America. Now they have decided the Middle East is their base. Our message is that there is no home for you, otherwise you will go home in chests. Soon you will hear the slogan ‘one bullet, one American’, “said Shuaib Booley, chairman of the Ahlul Bayt Islamic Council of South Africa, with loud cheers from the crowd.

Booley led the crowd in cries of “Allahu akbar” (God is great) while embassy workers watched the demonstration from a distance. Officials later stopped Booley before he could enter the building as part of a delegation that would hand over a memorandum.

Also present at the demonstration was the SACP secretary ge

Chaos once again the order of the day – Traffic on De Doorns highway disrupted after rioters protested over wages

Posted on Leave a comment

As in the past, the ANC once again motivated the people of De Doorns and the surrounding area not only to protest, but also to occupy the N1 with stones packed and vehicles hidden under the stones.

No official spokesperson has been identified as a leader, and all that is known is that the violent riot was orchestrated by people who apparently were not farm workers, but who were setting up farm workers to run amok.

The rioters are acting exactly as was the case in 2012, and unconfirmed reports state that they are the same instigators as seven years ago when the N1 was also made impassable.

Dissatisfaction prevails in the workers after the rate of R14.51 per hour is lowered to R10.60 from a particular worker, and the daily wage paid to the low-paid worker is R90 per day while the highest paid worker is R130 per day.

PROTESTS in SA – a prime example of barbaric conduct enforced by violent protesters that destroys whatever they can find and set fire to anything that can burn

Posted on Leave a comment

The right to protest is part of human rights. If you are opposed to something, you protest against it.

In most organized and civilized countries, people take to the streets carrying posters and banners, address the media, and then present a document outlining their grievances and what they would like to be done about it.

And then they go home.

Not in South Africa.

You don’t need to have a valid grievance. You don’t need to explain the reasons for your protest clearly, you don’t need to suggest a sensible sollution and you don’t, definitely never ever, need to behave sensibly. You break whatever glass you can find, you set fire to anything that can burn and if possible, make sure you injure or kill a bystander for special effect.

The violent protests around Dunoon on the Cape Flats last week was another prime example of this barbaric conduct.

And dear friends abroad, do you know what the protest was about?

School children were protesting because min

Pretoria CBD plunged into chaos – shops were looted, buildings set on fire and public transport suspended

Posted on Leave a comment

Taxi drivers took to the streets in Pretoria after one of their “colleagues” was apparently killed by a foreigner.

Several foreign stores were looted and a building was set alight. Commuters were stranded after public transport was suspended.

Police had to chase rioters who prevented the firefighters from reaching the scene.

Pretoria Mayor Stephens Mokgalapa disapproved of the action, saying that retaliatory crimes would not be tolerated. Passers-by were hit with bottles and stones and especially media representatives were greeted with aggression.

Pretoria’s city center has been plunged into chaos for the past two days, and people are advised to avoid that part of the city.

Posted on Leave a comment

Protestors in the Gelvandale and Bethelsdorp area barricaded the main roads with burning tyres and stones on Stanford Road, Gail Road and other roads in the Helensvale area and in Bethelsdorp, since 06:00 on 19 February 2019.

Public Order Police have been deployed in the areas of Bethelsdorp and Gelvandale and 5 protesters were arrested. The protestors (two men and three females) aged between 28 and 35 are arrested and detained under the Criminal Matters Amendment Act, Gatherings Act and the National Road Traffic Act.

ANOTHER DAY – ANOTHER “RACIST” SCHOOL – Just shortly after the Schweizer Reneke racism debacle, another racism uproar took place at a school in the North West province

Posted on Leave a comment

Yet again, parents had to remove their children from a North West school. And again innocent children are used in a diabolical political scheme to garner black votes.

Police and paramedics were on the scene as chaos erupted at Stilfontein Hoërskool after allegations of racism.

Vandalism has taken place with windows and doors broken after allegations that white children were treated better than black children. The reason for the protest and destruction of property was because the black parents weren’t happy that their children’s results weren’t as good as the white children’s results.

Last year, black students at the University of the North, burned and vandalized the university during protests and demanded separate exams for black students. They claimed that the regular exams they had to write like everyone else, were to difficult.

So, in a country where free goods and BEE jobs are handed to blacks like candy, they
