Black union blames ‘lily white’ emergency workers for gold miners deaths

Posted on 09/12/2019 Leave a comment

The deaths of four miners at the Tau Lekoa gold mine in the North West province are reportedly blamed on “lily-white emergency workers” who allegedly prevented black workers from saving their buddies. These accusations are being made by the National Union of Miners (Num) After an underground rockfall at Village Main Reef caused miners to be trapped since Friday afternoon.

According to Joseph Montisetse, president of the NUM, “lily-white rescue teams” prevented black volunteers from rescuing those trapped and bringing them to the surface. He says that white people do not care about the lives of black miners, but they do care about the money they generate. Montisetse said their members apparently rescued the only miner found alive and rescue workers were still talking to the trapped Friday at 1pm, but after 5pm they did not hear from them again. He claims that they could have saved the trapped.

Rescuers reached the body of the fourth miner on Friday after

Tired of being ‘coloured’ – Coloured activist is now dragging government to court to remove the separate classification of coloured and Indian

Posted on 09/12/2019 Leave a comment

An activist who is tired of being classified as a coloured South African is now dragging the government to scrap the separate classifications of coloured and Indian and rather to regard them as black South Africans.

Glen Snyman, a teacher from Oudtshoorn and founder of People Against Race Classification (Parc), has started a lawsuit against the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) and the National Department of Basic Education in the Cape Labour Court.

He claims, among other things, that:

* Brown and Indian people’s race classification should carry the same weight as when considering black candidates for positions or promotion;

* Blocks on application forms in which someone has to classify themselves as brown or Indian must be removed from all WCED forms.

* Someone can identify himself as “other” in the person’s racial classification, instead of coloured or Indian, on the WCED recruitment website;

* The WCED immediately stops using the word and id

VIDEO | Kicked because she has a “white attitude” – White woman assaulted by 4 black Metro Police officers during horrific ordeal

Posted on 09/12/2019 Leave a comment

Four Metro Police officers, 2 of them women, beat, kicked and hit Kymie du Toit’s head against a concrete floor whilst dragging this young lady who works as a creche teacher from her car at a petrol station in Moreleta Park, Pretoria on Tuesday around 23:30.

The marks were still visible on her face and arms Wednesday whilst speaking to Rapport and her knee was also injured.

And her crime? That is difficult to figure out because she came from an estate near Lyttleton where she did house sitting to look after young children and was just on her way home. What could have possibly made a young white female suspicious to these Metro Police officers is impossible to know.

Mbalula fixated on the “old SA flag” – When you see the so-called apartheid symbol even in sports shoes, you must know there is something wrong upstairs

Posted on 09/12/2019 Leave a comment

Fikile Mbalula, Minister of Transport, tweeted his objection to a design of sports hoes by Nike, because they remind him of the “apartheid flag”.

Why would Minister Mbalula be so concerned about the designs of tekkies? In his culture, shoes never played a part…it came with the colonialist oppressor!

Cash strapped Eskom wants another R27bn from consumers – Could this be the reason why SA is experiencing #Rollingblackouts? To manipulate us into giving them what they want?

Posted on 09/12/2019 Leave a comment

In its latest application to the energy regulator, the power utility is claiming this as an underrecovery for 2018/19, meaning tariffs may rise by 16.6% next year

Eskom, which last week again saw a collapse of its power network that led to nationwide load shedding, wants consumers to cough up a further R27 billion for electricity.

The national energy regulator Nersa has published Eskom’s latest application for public comment.

In it, the power utility said this was the amount that it underrecovered in 2018/19, and that it therefore wanted R27 billion more through power tariffs.

Although Eskom suggested that whatever Nersa granted should be added to electricity tariffs next year and the year thereafter, Nersa’s decision will likely be too late to influence 2020 tariff increases.

However, if Eskom receives the full R27.2 billion that it wants, and it is implemented over two years, this could see electricity tariffs in 2021 increase by 11.38% instead of

Racist attack on white children – Two children attacked by black men at a gas station – If the race roles have been switched, the mainstream media would have had a blast by now

Posted on 06/12/2019 Leave a comment

An attack on two young boys at a gas station in Richards Bay was recorded by security cameras. Christine le Roux, the mother of the two boys, shared this video on her Facebook profile.

In the video, it showed Le Roux’s youngest son scrambling around in a convenience store to get away from a man. A second man comes from another part of the store and blocks the exit.

The man who blocked the entrance grabbed the boy’s arm while the other man pointed his finger at the boy. At that moment, the boy’s older brother walked in and saw the man was holding his brother in a hold.

The older boy grabbed the man by the shoulder to break the man’s grip. The man then grabbed the older brother while the others slapped him.

A worker at the shop only arrived later and intervened.
Children targeted

Le Roux said her son became frightened after the man wanted to keep talking to him.

“Our youngest son says the one man kept talking to him and got really scared when they cau

SAPS’s backward planning – Rapid Response patrols receive small Nissan NP200 pickups to chase villains while regular patrols boast with lightning-fast VW GTi models

Posted on 06/12/2019 Leave a comment

Rapid Response patrols in the Western Transvaal are equipped with the small Nissan NP200 pickup trucks with which they must chase the villains who flee with powerful cars.

The bakkies with their limited ability during a high pursuit cannot stand a chance to the fast cars nowadays owned by thieves, murderers and other villains.

In contrast, police doing patrols in the small towns, as the case in Mafikeng, use the high-speed Volkswagen Golf GTi models.

Apparently, several letters to police chiefs were sent to point out the SAPS backward planning without any success and no response given by the Headquarters in the past 18 months.

Allegations are being made that senior police enjoy the luxury of being driven around by members in a fast Golf GTi.

It is alleged that the police commissioner who heads the area is himself guilty of being taken around in a Volkswagen Golf.

New mayor of Johannesburg hails from the ANC after coalition between DA and EFF failed

Posted on 06/12/2019 Leave a comment

The fragile coalition between the DA and EFF failed in Johannesburg, since the two parties could not put their differences aside. This put the ANC in a favorable position to win the majority of votes. Controversial candidate, Geoff Makhubo is now appointed as the new mayor of the City of Gold.

The balance of power has undergone significant changes in the city council, and the ANC gained control of the city council because the DA and the Red berets could not stand each other. Both political parties has set their sights on the mayor’s office, however not one of them will have the opportunity to govern the metro now.

The ANC candidate Geoff Makhubo drew 137 votes, the DA’s Funzela Ngobeni received 101 while the Red Brigade had to be satisfied with 30 votes.

Observers poinedt out that some of the DA councilors voted for the ANC candidate, thereby showing how divided the political party is.

SAA’S business rescue position – Bankrupt SOE will be restructured,no further bailouts to be handed out – Are their wings finally cut?

Posted on 06/12/2019 Leave a comment

Minister Pravin Gordhan’s stance at a board meeting of the bankrupt SA Airways has sent shock waves, the councilors as well as the shipping company’s worker are totally stunned by the so-called “business rescue position” that will be exercised without any delay.

The minister also confirmed in a statement that the board of the airlines has now adopted a resolution this cash strapped entity will be restructured, and that the government can no longer provide financial assistance.

Experts point out that this is the last effort to keep the state-owned entity standing(SOE), saying SAA’s life could drastically be shortened if they do not retrench about 1,000 redundant workers, and freezing salary adjustments for the next two years.
