The Department of Home Affairs faces about R2 billion in claims due to their inability to meet expected services as well as incompetence to maintain law and order in its immigration department

Posted on Leave a comment

The Department of Home Affairs already has claims worth about R2 billion that come from civilians because of its inability to meet expected services.

The claims are still growing due to the legal costs involved in the construction of cases that had to be resolved in court and of which the Department was apparently ordered many times to pay the costs.

Acting Director General One Thulani Mavuso acknowledged that his department has a “continuous obligation” totaling just over R2 billion.

The department’s immigration department alone has a range of claims of R698.5 million and tender contracts of R829 million as well as R479.7 million of civil claims.

The department recently admitted in a lawsuit that it does not have the funds necessary to maintain law and order in its immigration department.

Insatiable money hungry amongst ANC ranks – MP involved in R600,000 scams

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s MP, Bernice Swarts, is accused of being involved in a scam involving R600,000.

The ANC has apparently launched an investigation into the alleged scams where businessmen were under the impression that the money would be used for the ANC’s election campaign.

Little information about Swarts is known, but the latest investigation into the R500,000 needed to go to Ramaphosa’s CR17 electoral fund has apparently become a total search.

Now there seems to be confusion, because the Public Protector also investigated R500,000 that was apparently donated by Watson’s Bosasa, but which was paid in but explained to Parliament by Ramaphosa so deceptively that several political opponents described it as a lie finished.

Swarts reportedly received R16 million from an account linked to the election campaign to get support from the Eastern Transvaal, and also received R500,000 from Tuwani Mulaudzi, who apparently disappeared and was never paid into the ANC’s CR17 acco

Zuma pulls a Schabir Shaik act

Posted on Leave a comment

Former ANC president Jacob Zuma, who was due to appear before the Zondo Commission, was discharged from the hospital over the weekend and will only appear later to testify.

Zuma is still being targeted by the Commission for interrogation on state hijacking, but Zuma apparently thanked many supporters for their involvement in “the difficult illness period”.

Observers point out that the possibility exists that he should already be seen as a “very sick person”, so that he, like his friend Shaik, could be released early on parole if jail time is his premise, then for years afterwards, happy to live outside prison.

In addition to the arms scandal, there is still the state hijacking scandal, and the Hanekom court case, which is still being smeared on its political bread.

No indication was given as to the reason for his hospitalization, but Zuma described it as a “difficult time”.

Weapon manufacturer Denel has quietly acquired a contract worth R6.3 billion for the export of weaponry

Posted on Leave a comment

With the apparent initiative and guidance of the new chief of arms manufacturers, Denel, a contract has been entered into for the export of weaponry worth more than R6 billion.

A spokesman for the manufacturer confirmed that a contract had been obtained but that the broader details of it had not yet been disclosed.

The new contract worth R6.3 billion will be presented to Parliament during the coming week to approve the arms export.

The new technology that will be used in the weaponry is probably innovative, and can be attributed to the expertise of people who have proven their skills in arms manufacturing over the years.

South Africa’s army has run out of money – this is how much trouble it is in

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa’s National Defence Force (SANDF) is in a dire financial state, and with no promise of future funding, things may still get worse.

Answering in a recent parliamentary Q&A session minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, said that current plans to get the SANDF back on track are entirely dependent on its funding.

“The prevention of the SANDF capabilities from declining further is entirely dependent on the budget allocation of the Defence Force, which has been decreasing at an alarming rate over the years with a negative impact of the entire capabilities,” she said.

“The Defence Review 2015 has been developed with a plan to arrest the decline of the SANDF but unfortunately no funding has been received to attend to the declining capabilities of the SANDF.”

Mapisa-Nqakula added that the years-long decline of the SANDF meant that it was becoming increasingly difficult to protect the country.

“The defence

Black Netball SA president faces complaint of racism after her remarks earlier this year at SA championships

The civil rights organization AfriForum instructed its legal team on Friday to lodge a complaint against Cecilia Molokwane, president of Netball South Africa (NSA).

In the complaint, NSA is requested to investigate the president after AfriForum received complaints that Molokwane allegedly misbehave and made racist remarks at the South African championship in August this year in Johannesburg.

AfriForum said in a media statement on Friday that it had delivered a lawyer’s letter from Daniël Eloff, on behalf of Hurter Spies Attorneys in Pretoria, to the NSA’s office in Arcadia, Pretoria, and sent an email to CEO Blanche de la Guerre .

AfriForum does not say in its media statement that it is acting on its behalf.

He claimed members of the public heard on August 1 at the time of the match on lane 1 between Northern Cape team ZF Mgcawu and Waterberg of

Double Standards: The K-WORD is worse than blowing up whites with limpet mines – legal system is not there to protect whites

Posted on Leave a comment

Let’s spread as widely as possible and demand the arrest of the terrorist !!

It is clear that the legal system does not protect our whites. Poor Vicky Momberg is hunted like an animal for the K-word and was arrested again today for failing to comply with her parole conditions.

The EFF’s Secretary General Godrich Gardee, following Angus Buchan’s statement, said that only two peoples. the Jews and the Afrikaner people who made a covenant with God responded as follows:

“That stage needs some limpet mines bobytrapped arround it prior to that date…. & Let’s see what happens to the only people who have a covenant with God…. & I know this peasant religious fanatic is misrepresenting the Jewish nation… .he must be banned from our TV screens ”

If any white man made a similar threat, he was immediately arrested for terrorism.
How is it possible that the terrorist has not yet been charged?

How is it possible that a scathing word has more value than t

First Gupta house under the hammer – property apparently occupied by controversial ANC secretary general Ace Magashule’s son

Posted on Leave a comment

The first of a number of homes in Saxonword that belong to the Guptas is auctioned by the Park Village auctioneers.

The property was occupied by the son of the First Gupta house under the hammer – property apparently occupied by controversial ANC secretary general Ace Magashule’s son, who initially refused to leave the premises.

Law enforcement officers, however, threatened the Magashule with steps because of its legal obstruction.

The residential unit located in Avonwold Road will go under the hammer on Monday, November 18, and the luxury space, which covers more than 1,100 square meters, is expected to sell for a considerable amount.

Neighborhood housing prices range from R3m to R20m, and are considered one of the most sought after parts of Johannesburg.

2,600 graduated young doctors not yet placed out for their one-year mandatory service

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC government is again, as it was last year, extremely negligent in dealing with graduated young doctors who have to be posted for their one year community service.

About 2,600 young doctors who have graduated within a month have not yet been notified where to go for their one-year mandatory service to the community.

Last year, the same neglect was experienced and students were plunged into total chaos as the Department of Health failed to notify the young doctors in a timely manner of their service.

Meanwhile, information has been received that the young doctors are concerned that the authorities are not ready to place them, and therefore have not taken the necessary information and measures to compensate them.
