Parasitic SOE, Prasa also bankrupt? – Eskom threatens to cut power supply to trains due to default in payment

Posted on 11/11/2019 Leave a comment

This past week, the ANC’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, had to intervene so that Eskom did not cut off the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) power supply.

The power supply would be cut off if the president did not intervene, and Prasa’s power supply for electrically powered trains would be cut off, which would force the rail network to a complete standstill.

Prasa’s default on its power supply is considered to be another bankrupt entity like Eskom and many other state entities.

Prasa is the latest case of the state’s unstable entities, and is attributed to the “self-enrichment” of workers who constantly demand unreasonably high salaries while mismanagement continues unabated.

ANC government focused on looting and not maintenance of infrastructure- over a period of 25 years they repeatedly showed that they are was unable to manage or govern

Posted on 08/11/2019 Leave a comment

The ANC government’s focus so far has been mainly on the looting of the fiscus and not on the maintenance of the country’s infrastructure and other state assets.

Proper infrastructure is the lifeblood of the economy and ensures that residents have access to roads, bridges, schools, water and many other services. Without proper infrastructure maintenance, no country can survive economically. No international investor will come to invest money in South Africa while infrastructure is not being renovated and maintained

In South Africa, the onus is on the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure to do this maintenance. Not only is the department the custodian and manager of the state’s real estate assets, but also the creator and maintainer of South Africa’s infrastructure

However, this does not happen and just like the government, this department failed the people of South Africa. The focus was mainly on looting and the implementation of harmful policies such

Vicky Momberg, who uttered the K-word at a black police, again behind bars

Posted on 08/11/2019 Leave a comment

Vicky Momberg, described by the media as a racist, and searched by police for days, eventually surrendered to the police.

In doing so, the woman proved all guesses that she had left the country wrong, and also broke her bail conditions.

She told police she had followed the advice of her legal representatives, and only now reported under the bail conditions.

Momberg was found guilty of hate speech after repeatedly blackmailing the K-word after being robbed by other blacks by a black police officer and allegedly watching without fulfilling his duty as an officer.

She has been behind bars for two years now, and there is uncertainty as to whether she will be allowed to be released for good behavior earlier.

S&P Global, which downgraded SA to junk status, warns ANC government that it will not be easy to restore land

Posted on 08/11/2019 Leave a comment

The ratings agency S&P Global, which has legitimately downgraded the country to junk status, since 2017, has warned the ANC regime, saying the path of recovery is not reachable with the clap of fingers.

The agency also points out that the possibility of another downgrade in two weeks is not ruled out because of the dire position in which South Africa finds itself.

The Managing Director of S&P Global Sub-Saharan Africa, Konrad Reuss, was a guest speaker at the Consumer Goods Council Conference in Johannesburg, which was held at the same time as Ramaphosa’s conference where billions of Rand’s promises were made, the bulk of which were made usually does not become reality.

Reuss emphasized that the agency could further downgrade the country in November’s assessment, which would further hamper investors and investment.

Unemployment Insurance Fund pays more than R63,000 to registered unemployed ‘ghosts’ so one man can benefit from it

Posted on 08/11/2019 Leave a comment

A former Department of Labor employee has been jailed by the Witbank Regional Court for 15 incidents of fraud he was convicted of.

The 42-year-old Thokozani Percy Skosana was employed by the Department of Unemployment Insurance Fund’s division, and since 2012 has made several payments to “ghosts” and was able to start the payments with a “business enterprise” where transport and general dealer services are provided. be.

His company ensured that ghosts were also registered as unemployed, and thus realized a reasonable monthly income.

The ghost story hauled more than R63,000 from the Department of Labor, which apparently cannot be recovered due to the man’s financial position.

Commercial livestock farmers are being harmed by narrow-mindedness of poor foot-and-mouth control in the Northern Transvaal

Posted on 08/11/2019 Leave a comment

Early in February this year it was announced that foot-and-mouth disease had broken out in the black living area of the Northern Transvaal.

The farm where the first incident was reported is in the Vhembe district and has resulted in South Africa’s export of red meat being hampered.

While the industry is still struggling to recover from the setback, foot-and-mouth disease has broken out again in the Vhembe district, and will mean that farmers will be restrained from selling their market-ready animals.

Farmers have begun to specialize in recent years by marketing animals literally on day and date when the finishing work is completed, and every day that the animals stay longer on the farm is a direct loss that is offset against the profit.

With the intolerance of poor foot-and-mouth control in the Northern Transvaal, it is becoming increasingly urgent that commercial cattle farmers be protected from the annoyance.

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

Posted on 08/11/2019 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.

EFF’s Gardee: Racist Boer pastor’ Buchan’s event should be blown up – This is an incitement to violence and he should be prosecuted

Posted on 07/11/2019 Leave a comment

AfriForum’s Ernst Roets wants the EFF secretary general prosecuted for ‘hate speech’ and ‘incitement to violence’.

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) secretary-general Godrich Gardee expressed the view on Tuesday afternoon that “limpet mines” should be planted at an upcoming event at Loftus Versfeld stadium in Tshwane, held by pastor Angus Buchan.

This after he and EFF second-in-command Floyd Shivambu were offended by a comment Buchan made about only Afrikaans and Jewish people having a “covenant” with God.

Buchan recently announced that he would be holding an event at the stadium on February 1, 2020, called Staan Op Vir Jesus. While all would be welcome at the event, Buchan explained that “this time the emphasis will be on the Afrikaner nation”.

“We are calling out to God, remembering only two nations have ever been in covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They are the Jewish people and the Afrikaans people, that is a fact

Pull the generator closer and get those candles ready, Eskom #rollingblackouts will be with us shortly

Posted on 07/11/2019 Leave a comment

Eskom expressed its disappointment over the decision of the rating agency Moody’s that further downgraded the bankrupt entity of the state.

The Moody’s Investment Service downgraded Eskom from a B2 to a B3, which means the entity has no confidence in consumers or the rating agency.

With the downgrade, Eskom is brought into line with the poor performance of the ANC’s financial standing, and the distrust it creates at international and national level.

So the possibility exists that with the crisis management system, Eskom can once again start applying the load shedding system to alleviate its financial position, but the country will perish because of the impact it will have on the general financial position.

Late yesterday afternoon, Eskom acknowledged that it could reintroduce short notice “because the system is under pressure”, which is believed to be financial pressure.

ANC regime’s debt to SA municipalities exceeds R1bn

Posted on 07/11/2019 Leave a comment

Several millions of Rands debt is outstanding with municipalities across SA – ANC regime debt exceeds R1 billion

The ANC government’s poor performance, especially in the economic and financial sphere, is also highlighted in its inability to settle its debt to municipalities.

The ANC’s Minister of Public Works, De Lille, has acknowledged that the state owes more than R1 billion to municipalities.

The irony is that some of the municipalities were placed under administration while the state did not fulfill its obligations to the municipalities.

There are apparently some of the municipalities that are struggling, partly because the state’s obligations to them are not being met, which leads to unauthorized transactions with the local council.

Unconfirmed reports state that De Lille has liaised with more than 60 municipalities to determine the amounts owed, which is believed to total R1 billion. The other 19
