WHY is President Ramaphosa silent about Farm Murders? Doubt his new role as Chairman of the African Union will change anything

Posted on 07/01/2020 Leave a comment

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa is the incoming new chair of the African Union for the year 2020.

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to take over the chairmanship of the African Union for the year 2020, replacing Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi who chaired the organization through 2019.

In his New Year’s address, the South African leader pledged to use the opportunity to rally Africa to actualize the Continental Free Trade Agreement, whose operational phase was launched in July in Niamey, Niger.

“From January, South Africa takes up its position as chair of the African Union. We will seek to work with our sister countries to realise an Africa Free Trade Area that stretches from Cape Town to Cairo, and from Dakar to Mombasa,” a statement from the South African presidency read.

Ahead of the assumption of the AU chairmanship, President Ramaphosa in November hosted the AU Commission chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat for talks.

BEE has de-industrialised SA, pushed it backwards in time – The oppressed has become the oppressor, and technological advancement is no longer possible as we enter the New Sanitation Dark Age

Posted on 06/01/2020 Leave a comment

Zimbabwe had land expropriation as the spark that caused its economy to implode. South Africa has a slower, but equally insidious, government policy that is pushing it backwards in time: Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).

This warped system has enabled corrupt individuals to benefit personally from contracts as the country’s key services have steadily eroded. While BEE provided the mechanisms for state capture, the SA-specific term for wide-scale graft, it has also facilitated the spread of parasites that have, and continue to, suck the life-blood out of the country. This is the assessment of environmental expert Professor Anthony Turton, who warned some years back that Eskom was in critical condition – but no-one was listening. Now raw sewage flows in many streets and the electricity is turned off for hours on end, in what looks like a return of sorts to the dark ages, he points out. Turton’s article, republished here with kind permission of the Daily Friend,

Posted on 06/01/2020 Leave a comment

An arson case is under investigation after 24 train wagons were set on fire at the Bloemfontein train station.

Police spokesman Brig. Motantsi Makhele says that an employee of Prasa saw that smoke was coming out of a bunch of train cars standing next to the train track around 2.30pm on Saturday. He went to investigate and found 24 burning train wagons. Each one of the wagons is about R4 million work.

According to Makhele, the cause of the fire is still being investigated, but it has already been established that there was no fuel or electricity supply in the wagons.

A Prasa spokeswoman could not be reached for comment this morning.

Solidarity: Eskom is in crisis due to years of looting, mismanagement and race obsession; asking taxpayers to fund R1.8 billion in performance bonuses is wrong

Posted on 06/01/2020 Leave a comment

Eskom is in crisis and should be treated as a crisis. The company is hopelessly bankrupt and operationally fragile due to years of looting, mismanagement and race obsession. The new CEO, André de Ruyter, has to be given comprehensive powers similar to that of a business rescue practitioner. If Eskom is not treated as if it is in business rescue, it is going to explode on itself and South Africa.

Asking in court documents that taxpayers should finance R1,8 billion in performance bonuses does not fall within a framework of crisis thinking. We did not have access to the documents, but if they ask for R1.8bn worth of performance bonuses to be financed, it is wrong. Eskom’s bonus policy states that bonuses will only be paid out if the company makes a profit. The policy is also applied in this way. Our members have not received bonuses for the past two years. It is common practice in all companies for bonuses to fund themselves. It should be that way in Eskom as

Rumours that the minimum pass requirement for maths has been “reduced to 20%” is fake says Department of Education- Or is it?

Posted on 03/01/2020 Leave a comment

The government are trying to kill rumours and denies that the minimum pass requirements for math for gr. 7 to gr. 9 are reduced to 20%. However, education unions believe this is not the biggest concern facing this sector at present.

Chris Klopper, chief executive of the South African Teachers Union said on Monday that the department’s plans to automatically advance pupils in the foundation phase (Gr. 1, Gr. 2 and Gr. 3) should rather to be a bigger concern in education circles.

Mugwena Maluleke, general secretary of the South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadou), also made it clear on Monday that the largest trade union in the sector also does not support the automatic promotion of such pupils.

The unions responded after the Department of Basic Education on Sunday strongly denied rumors on social media platforms that the minimum pass requirement for math was “reduced to 20%” for the senior phase of gr. 7 to gr. 9 and dismissed it as “fake news”.

ANC regime’s Multi-Billion Rand water project in Bosveld does not deliver a single drop of water

Posted on 03/01/2020 Leave a comment

It has now been five years since the big water project for the Bushveld area was started. The outcome was to supply water to some 50 small villages where black people live.

After spending several billion Rand, there is not one drop of water for the villagers.

Even the drowning of a six-year-old did not cause the government to take any real action to address the water supply.

Neither the government nor the agents who accepted the contract to take water to the various villages, showed positive action while much money was lost from taxpayers.

The drought in the year 2000 brought the realization that water to the villages became an urgent priority, but to date the program has not been implemented.

#TheAfricanWay – Another day, another black school burns down – Black learners may now have to get their education in traditionally white schools?

Posted on 03/01/2020 Leave a comment

South Africa is two days into 2020 and the first school burns. The Tokelo High School in the Vaal Triangle lost four classrooms due to arson. Panyaza Lesufi, the MEC of Education in Gauteng, is disappointed with the R4 million damage done.

It was soon established that arsonists are responsible for the damage, but the motive is unknown.
It is the umpteenth school where blacks learners receive that were partially or totally destroyed by arsonists. Damage to school buildings over the past decade amounts to millions of Rand.

Observers are asking why only black schools are being burned, as it creates the impression that they want to be educated in traditionally white schools.
