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 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

Rumours that the minimum pass requirement for maths has been “reduced to 20%” denied by Department of Education – Or is it?

Posted on 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..

ANC regime has driven SA to junk status – GDP drops by 0.6% in 3rd quarter – SA is going to struggle to get rid of its economic crisis

Posted on Leave a comment

The financial decline that continues in South Africa has given the business sector reason to become more concerned about future business activities in most business areas.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declined by 0.6% in the third quarter of 2019, according to the Statistics Service’s report.

Calculated on a year-to-year basis, this is seen as a downturn that the economy has now stagnated, thereby having serious consequences for job creation.

The government hoped for a 1.5% growth rate, but economists warned that the target could not be achieved if sufficient new jobs were not created.

South Africa is now in a junk status phase, and although Moody’s is the only rating agency still trying to hide it, it’s clear that in the next decade the country will struggle to get rid of its economic crisis.

Largest and busiest police station in Free State in dire condition – Once again proof that the current government cannot maintain the country’s infrastructure

Posted on Leave a comment

The Park Road police station located in the Free State, Bloemfontein is by far the busiest and largest police station in the province. Unfortunately, the ANC regime allowed this building to operate without the necessary amenities, it was demolished halfway and had to operate without holding cells for more than a year.

Since the building is inoperative, approximately 50 detainees who have to appear in courts must be transported daily under police supervision to and from neighbouring detention cells situated in Bainsvlei, Bot-shabelo and Petrusburg.

Renovation work at the Park Road police station began in November 2017 after a R73 million contract was awarded to Soaring Summit Development, but according to Public Works Minister Patricia de Lille, the company failed to meet the timeframes and expectations. Their contract came to and end on August 2 this year.

However, according to reports from Network 24, the construction has ceased about a year ag

ANC wants to speed up expropriation process during Christmas holiday season

Posted on Leave a comment

The process to amend section 25 of the Constitution in order to fast-track expropriation without compensation suddenly gathered speed on Tuesday when a draft bill to amend the Constitution was tabled by the parliamentary legal services.

The Constitution Eighteenth Amendment Bill was tabled at a sitting of the ad hoc committee tasked with amending the Constitution.

This first bite at the wording of the constitutional amendment states that when the state and the land owner cannot agree on the price to be paid, a country may – where land and any improvements thereon are expropriated for the purposes of land reform – determine that the amount of compensation is nil.

Parliamentary legal services furthermore proposed inclusion of a section which requires national legislation to set out specific circumstances where a court may determine that the amount of compensation is nil.

The draft bill does not delete any part of the Constitution, but a

ANC’s failed Medupi not only poorly erected, but also poses great dangers to man, animal and environment due to toxic gases released

Posted on Leave a comment

The Madupi power plant approved by the ANC regime to be erected is not only an economic disaster, but also poses the danger of harming human lives.

The power plant is not only poorly erected but took years to be finalized and still cannot deliver its full capacity.

Madupi was constructed differently from the conventional power plants, and is described as the “new dry-cooled” coal power station.

When the power station is complete and at full capacity, it will be the world’s largest “dry-cooled” power station.

Economists and environmental experts have already warned that doing 2020 off the country’s biggest coal power plant could lead to serious financial as well as climate disasters still seen in SA.

Experts say Madupi will become one of the country’s biggest dangers to people and the environment with its poisonous gases being emitted, and will also be the largest entity in terms of air and environm

Zuma in the last trench – application for appeal rejected

Posted on Leave a comment

After the Pretoria High Court rejected former ANC President Jacob Zuma’s application for appeal with costs, he is now on his way to the Appeal Court.

It is Zuma’s last trench he uses to stay out of jail, and although it is a method of escaping his final trial, the debt burden on court costs is only increasing.

Experts point out that his chances of winning the Appeal Court are extremely slim, and that it will have far-reaching consequences for the man if he fails again.

Political analysts, however, believe that Zuma is playing his cards well, and that with the possibility of a failure in the Appeal Case, he has already incinerated himself by spending a week in hospital, to be “sick again” after the court’s ruling ” to become.

After all, opinion makers say this is the successful method that the long-lived Schabir Shaik used several years ago to open the prison doors for his release so he

Madupi still not complete after 12 years – It is a wonder that they haven’t blamed old Jan yet!

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom says the Medupi power station’s Phase 2 stage is in operation, making it part of the power supply’s overall electricity output.

The announcement comes 12 years after the first donation was made to set up Medupi, but during that time, South Africa paid much more for the erection than initially budgeted.

In addition to building the power plant more than 200% more expensive, the cost of more than R150bn has shown that South Africa is not only irresponsible in managing its spending, but is also equally irresponsible in appointing those who had to do the erection.

Economists say the construction of Medupi and Kusile power plants eventually totaled R234 billion, but informed sources indicate that much more money is needed to bring the two power plants to full capacity.

The cost of the two exchanges further increased South Africa’s enormous debt burden, and analysts reckon it will take at least 40 years before Eskom&#8217

Unclaimed pensions amount to R51 billion – wonder if the money hungry ANC regime will lay a claim on it?

Posted on Leave a comment

Workers are often unaware that they have certain pension benefits that must be paid to them upon leaving work.

As a result, unclaimed amounts are already worth billions of Rand, which is estimated to be as much as R4 billion accumulated in two unions.

It seems that a total of more than R40 billion has been raised over the past two to three decades, and no one is helping service-leavers to say they should apply for their pension benefits.

The information was disclosed after an independent entity conducted research and found that no one informed workers about their rights in this regard.

If certain pensions are taken into account outside the Pension Funds Act, then the total accumulated amount is R51 billion that has not been claimed.

State-owned bus company seeks R350 million bailout

Posted on Leave a comment

The state-owned bus company Northwest Transport Investments, which transports more than a million people a day, is seeking a bailout of R350 million.

The transportation of hundreds of thousands of commuters mainly in the North West and Gauteng provinces and more than 1,600 jobs are at risk due to the financial distress of parastatal Northwest Transport Investments (NTI).

The 46-year-old company – which owns Northwest Star, the Star Line, and the Atteridgeville Bus Service – has applied to the North West government (its sole shareholder) for a bailout of more than R350 million, NTI chairman, Mojalefa Nale, confirmed to Business Insider SA. The company has outstanding debts of about equal to that amount.

In August, a high court judge placed the company into provisional liquidation, after an application from Driveshaft Baleka, which is a Pretoria-based company that rebuilds and manufacturers propeller shafts.

It was owed R890,000 b
