Malema is unmasked as a complete liar after video leak where he assaults police officer

Posted on 22/11/2019 Leave a comment

Julius Malema was caught with a video recording that he lied about his involvement with a police officer’s altercation during a Mandela funeral.

The Red Brigade leader said he had a fight with the officer, and he and his party’s spokesman, one Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, did not contact the police officer.

Now the leader and his accomplice are in greater trouble because he lied because the video footage clearly shows how the two rebels physically attacked the police officer in April last year.

Malema told the media there was no truth in the allegation that the officer had been attacked, but was probably unaware that the incident was captured on video.

It is considered a very serious crime to physically oppose a police officer, and the suspicion exists that it could be another serious case in court.

SAA: More unions want to strike after Gordhan’s attempt at wage and severance dispute fails

Posted on 22/11/2019 Leave a comment

In support of Numsa’s strike, and in opposition to the view of ANC minister Pravin Gordhan, more unions have indicated that they will join the strike.

The circumstances in which SAA currently finds itself have left the state-controlled entity in unsustainable status, and the entry of Pravin Gordhan has increased the bitterness and power building on both sides.

Gordhan’s attempt to settle the dispute over wages and retrenchments failed, thereby extending the strike, which would mean millions of Rand per day to losses for the already bankrupt entity.

There are apparently insufficient funds to pay the staff at the end of November, and the huge debt burden will not come to an end without a radical intervention.

True to their actions, the unions once again help push the entity further into the abyss with their unrealistic wage demands.

Numsa also expects SAA not to apply any retrenchments, which means that the national aircarrier will no longer be able to ope

Two SA doctors are making revolutionary advances in malaria research

Posted on 22/11/2019 Leave a comment

In the small village of Musina in the Far Northern Transvaal, a revolutionary piece of scientific progress has been made that can save millions of people’s lives.

This is especially true for young children who die in large numbers every year due to malaria that could not be determined in time.

According to the two doctors, they have developed a practical application to “divide” malaria which helps to reduce the spread of parasites and thereby reduce the transmission of mosquitoes.

A test is performed on the patient who indicates very soon whether malaria is present or not.

The system has also aroused the interest of world leaders in the field of malaria research, which has now made R22 million available

Malaria infects almost 250 million people annually, of which about 500,000 die from the infection each year.

The two doctors, Benji Pretorius and Richard Schmidt, apparently want to continue their work to combat the dreaded disease.

Refugees have decided to go on mass exodus out of South-Africa due to ANC-regime’s insensitive action against them

Posted on 22/11/2019 Leave a comment

The so-called refugees in Cape Town, now housed in the Methodist Church after clashing with police, apparently want to leave the country in in mass Exodus format.

Their spokesmen said it was the only way they could draw the world’s attention to the ANC government’s insensitive action against them.

The refugees had previously gathered at the United Nations offices but were driven out by police, but the SA Human Rights Commission has given its support to the refugees, saying the police should stop their creating action.

About 200 of the refugees have since left the church building following discussions with church leaders and human rights representatives.

Shortly thereafter, the same thing happened in Pretoria when refugees also clashed with police in front of the offices of the UN Refugee Agency.

During the clashes, about 24 police officers were injured and numerous refugees sustained serious injuries condemned by human rights activists.

Northern Cape farmers forced to knees with worst drought crisis in 70 years

Posted on 22/11/2019 Leave a comment

The years-long drought in parts of the Northern Cape has made it the worst crisis the province has experienced in the last 70 years.

Livestock donations and even cash donations are regularly received from organizations and individual donors, but the crisis is far from being far too small.

Estimates made indicate that at least R750m is needed to save the farmers from total ruin.

Many farmers have reduced their livestock to core numbers with which they intend to rebuild a herd when the rain comes, but it will take years to put the total number of livestock back on each farm.

Donors are requested to liaise with organized agriculture as the government is quite reluctant to alleviate the need.

ANC Youth League calls the appointment of the new CEO of Eksom, Andre de Ruyter, white privilege

Posted on 21/11/2019 Leave a comment

Collen Maine, the youth task team should focus on getting our youth off drugs, crime and creating employment opportunities and not trying to police every white appointed person. In 25 years every black appointed CEO failed Eskom tremendously. Infact, every black CEO appointed to run any SOE what so ever has failed it tremendously.

I honestly don’t believe in the fact that black politicians think everything is racist when a white person steps forward to do a job they couldn’t do. It scares them because they have very little to offer. You see, people that cannot compete or create will vilify those that can. Competant people are a threat to incompetant existence. As long as we are around, we will always be on top of things, and that scares incompetent people.

14 SOEs rack up more than R1.4 billion in irregular expenditure

Posted on 21/11/2019 Leave a comment

Auditor General (AG) Kimi Makwetu said not one of the 14 big state-owned entities (SOEs) audited by his office received a clean audit, a poorer outcome than last year.

Makwetu was revealing the results of the national and provincial audits for the past financial year at Parliament on Wednesday. He said the financial health of SOEs remained under significant pressure with doubts about whether they could continue operating without further financial help from the government.

Makwetu said the 14 SOEs notched up R1.4 billion in irregular expenditure but warned this figure could rise as four of them – Denel, the SABC, SA Express and the SA Forestry Company could not make full disclosure on this.

Meanwhile, irregular expenditure racked up by Transnet (R49.9 billion) and Eskom (R6.6 billion), who have private auditors, amounted to R57 billion.

“The SA Post Office, for example, has slipped back to a qualified opinion and the Development Bank of SA regressed to a

Sars guns for former Prasa CEO who owes over R1.8m in unpaid taxes

Posted on 21/11/2019 Leave a comment

JOHANNESBURG – The South African Revenue Service (Sars) has obtained warrants of execution to seize the moveable assets of former Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) CEO Lucky Montana.

Montana confirmed this on Wednesday saying it was in connection with unpaid taxes of about R1.8 million. The debt related to the capital gains taxes he failed to pay when he bought two properties worth millions of rand.

The former Prasa boss was dismissed from the parastatal in 2015 following allegations of maladministration and corruption, which he denied.

Montana said the sheriff of the court ambushed him at his Saxonwold home on Wednesday with a warrant of execution. The taxman arrived to seize his moveable assets such as his cars and furniture, but nothing was taken away.

He admitted he owed Sars but claimed he was in negotiations to pay the tax agency by selling one of his properties.

He accused Sars of being vindictive and unethical, and its leadership of a

Panyaza Lesufi could be replaced as Gauteng education MEC if AfriForum gets its way

Posted on 21/11/2019 Leave a comment

AfriForum’s campaign demanding the removal of Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi from office began on Wednesday with an online petition calling for his removal.

The minority-rights organisation said it would also hand over a memorandum to Gauteng premier David Makhura at his offices in the Johannesburg CBD on Thursday, in which it will ask that Lesufi be dismissed.

Before handing over the memorandum, AfriForum said it will start by laying criminal charges at the Johannesburg Central police station relating to the education department’s alleged misappropriation of more than R900m.

AfriForum announced on Tuesday that it would launch its campaign to remove Lesufi when it responded to a statement by the department that 14,000 grade 1 and grade 8 learners had not been placed in schools.

The department outlined measures it would take to ensure that the remaining 14,617 prospective grade 1 and grade 8 pupils were placed in schools by the end of the month. It
