Farm attack: Victim strangled with scarf and genitals hacked with sharp object, Bapsfontein

Posted on Leave a comment

Farm attackers strangled a man with a scarf and hacked his genitals with a sharp object.

A bloodied Timothy Rademeyer, 51, and his partner, Dirkie Voges, 61, were found on their farm in the Welbekend area near Bapsfontein on Wednesday.

Voges could walk up to the farm road and call for help.

Candice Allison, a local paramedic, was one of the first people to rush to the farmhouse to help the couple.

Her cousin, Ian Jackson, was driving past the couple’s farm around 7:30 a.m. when he saw the bloodied Voges along the road.

He immediately rushed to Allison about 3 km and told her to help urgently.

A bloody scene greeted Allison.

A scarf with which the attackers strangled Rademeyer was so tightly knit that she had to cut it loose. One of his ribs was also presumably broken.

“He had ugly cuts to his head and arms. His private parts were also cut, ”says Allison.

I just know my dad got hurt a lot.<b

Will SA consider nuclear power plants and will it be safe in the hands of a Third World country ruled by the ANC regime?

Posted on Leave a comment

It hangs on everyone’s lips: Will South Africa’s regime consider purchasing another nuclear power generation plant similar to the Koeberg plant.

South Africa is fast moving backwards and has long been no country with First World standards. With the regime’s latest efforts to light the lights, it is clear that there is so much pressure on the Ramaphosa government that they are in no way approaching one task after another and finding solutions.

Finance Minister Tito Mboweni was very busy at the Davos summit, but his busy time was only to kill fires over the Eskom scandal and the empty state coffers that lack the ability to borrow money to save SAL .

That raises the question of whether nuclear power plants are the answer to SA’s power supply, but experts believe the Koeberg power station is a prime example of First World equipment, and in fact can’t be safe in the hands of a Third World country.”

SAA crisis becomes ANC nightmare – No banking institution wants to borrow R2 billion for bankrupt government-controlled entity

Posted on Leave a comment

The competition to get SAA free will now begin, which the weakest state-controlled entity now has literally no value.

The government’s inability to live up to its promise and make another R2 billion available to SAA as the largest rescue buoy has now made the entity very shaky.

Salaries for January can still be paid, but after that it will struggle, and in the meantime Minister Tito Mboweni is trying to convince all the bankers in the country to borrow the R2 billion.

Approximately 12 flight routes were abolished, destroying thousands of people’s travel plans and those who were prepared had to be content to get on with Mango Shipping.

A week of complete chaos is over, but the outlook for this week is as bleak as it was last week.

According to press reports, it appears that many ANC members of parliament are in favor of liquidating the SAA to lighten the load on the state coffers.

Now, a new shipping company is co

Liquidation of Gupta company, Oakbay back on the table

Posted on Leave a comment

The Tegeta Exploration and Resources has again filed an application for liquidation from the Gupta company, Oakbay Investments.

The Tegeta institution has gone on a hunt for the R402 loan from the Gupta company, which has been in disarray in recent months.

Tegeta claims that the Guptas ‘family business’ Oakbay Investments, as an entity owes him R400m.

In the documents filed with the Johannesburg High Court, Tegeta argues that Oakbay is liquidated as he is not in a position to settle his debts.

The Guptas currently living in the Emirates have already been auctioned off in Johannesburg and sold to pay off outstanding debts, but attempts to get them extradited to SA have been unsuccessful until now.

Future of SA is bleak after ANC-regime ruled a once model state into junk status and sh*thole

Posted on Leave a comment

It is clear that South Africa has become so fragile in the financial field that overall poverty, with the exception of a few wealthy people, will lead to the necessary change in governments.

Who will be the new rulers is currently a widely debated topic, but there is also the feeling that the ANC will remain in control at the national level.

The official opposition parties may form a government as a coalition, but in Africa it does not work, and such a merger will only provide temporary solutions.

However, it will not provide solutions that will bring South Africa back on the road to success, as none of the smaller parties has the strong leaders to protect the country from corruption, money laundering, murder, and dozens of other problems.

Whoever takes over from the ANC will do nothing better than today’s weak rulers.

The possibility of a homeland for the Boer-Afrikaner is the only way to set up a good government that will,

Land expropriation without compensation shock revealed! ANC regime publishes charade bill on expropriation without compensation

Posted on Leave a comment

The leader of the Afrikaner Self-Determination Party has strongly opposed the ANC over the government’s rate of land expropriation.

The shocking revelation was made in the media this past weekend that the ANC had just published a charade bill on expropriation without compensation for public comment. The media revealed that Dr Mathole Motshekga of the ANC acknowledged that the ANC had published this facade so that it did not cause too much opposition before the real bill was tabled in parliament.

In terms of the true bill, according to Motshekga, the courts will have no power to decide on the legality of the ANC’s intended expropriations without compensation.

Motshekga stated that, in the opinion of the ANC, the court process is taking too long and that the ANC government as elected government should have the final say on expropriations without compensation.

The entire concept of expropriation without compensation that the ANC

SAA’s wings cut – bankrupt SOE can only pay salaries in January

Posted on Leave a comment

The bankrupt, state-owned SAA airline company will manage to pay its staff salaries for January, but that’s where it all ends.

With a bankrupt government failing to fulfill its pledge to pump another R2bn into the soe, it looks as if SAL will not remain standing.

The airfreight company faces three serious problems, and the solutions to this are vague and unclear, as different measures could not create a better situation.

The SAA needs at least R2bn to get its planes up, but with the many cancellations it has had to announce, its passengers are becoming less and less and profitability is becoming almost impossible.

The government’s inability to borrow R2 billion from any banker in the country has failed, which is now seen as a vote of no confidence in the financial approaches the regime is following.

It can inflict a final blow.

The large number of workers who should never have been hired is another reason why the

Only 15% of CEOs are still positive about SA’s economic outlook

Posted on Leave a comment

This is a slim 15% of CEOs who still have a positive outlook on the South African economy’s outlook.

They are still very confident and confident about what their companies’ return will be in the coming financial year.

However, the growth rate that has almost reached zero point speaks to a different view, in which more than 80% of business leaders are deeply concerned about the state of affairs.

Growing pessimism, even among those who normally remain positive, is now noticeable, and many believe their well-built businesses are no longer as secure as they were a few years ago.

A company that gives advice to businesses and their CEOs says the number of organizations that still have confidence is diminishing each month, while companies are experiencing almost daily decline in turnover.

Are the nails in the coffin for controversial Public Protector?

Posted on Leave a comment

The controversial Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, appears to have counted the days when considering the reaction of certain members of parliament after the matter of her eligibility as OB was tabled.

The National Assembly’s speaker, Thandi Modise, approved that Parliament follow the procedures that could lead to the OB’s dismissal.

Busisiwe Mkhwebane is probably the most important reason why the parliament in 2019 laid down rules to be followed when removing the OB from office.

The process is apparently underway, and opposition parties, excluding the Red Brigade, are expected to strongly demand that she be removed from her post, especially in light of the numerous court cases she lost due to incorrect information being investigated reports were recorded.

Calls for Death to Americans at US Embassy in South Africa – SACP chant ‘One American, one bullet’ outside US embassy in Pretoria

Posted on Leave a comment

A threat of “one bullet, one American” was chanted outside the US embassy in Pretoria on Thursday, where hundreds of protesters gathered to protest against the US foreign policy in the Middle East.

“The Americans are the biggest terrorists in the world. They are responsible for terrorism in Cuba, Venezuela and many other countries in South America. Now they have decided the Middle East is their base. Our message is that there is no home for you, otherwise you will go home in chests. Soon you will hear the slogan ‘one bullet, one American’, “said Shuaib Booley, chairman of the Ahlul Bayt Islamic Council of South Africa, with loud cheers from the crowd.

Booley led the crowd in cries of “Allahu akbar” (God is great) while embassy workers watched the demonstration from a distance. Officials later stopped Booley before he could enter the building as part of a delegation that would hand over a memorandum.
