ANC Takes R9 Billion From PRASA to Pay for e-Tolls! With No Brakes, Cellphones, Radios, Guards, SAPS or Money, The PRASA Train Has Derailed & Crashed Yet ANC Vultures Continue To Plunder it!

Posted on March 16, 2020 Leave a comment

While Vodacom has cancelled its contract with PRASA for the provision of cellphones, which train drivers used to communicate with control rooms, it has also been revealed that ANC took R9 Billion from PRASA to pay for SANRAL e-tolls, according to Steve Harris from UNTU, which is a union within Prasa. Train drivers use these cellphones to get the verbal go-ahead to use routes to prevent accidents, because they can’t use the radio base system because that is not working either!

Drivers now have to use their own cellphones, which is against PRASA rules (and probably against their insurance too). Harris says that the lives of train drivers are in danger when they can’t get authority to use routes and have to wait at crossings, because commuters who are angry about late trains have attacked train drivers in the past. He says criminals also prey on waiting commuters whilst they wait for late trains. Violence is #TheAfricanWay and the solution to everyth

Denel’s huge contract worth billions of Rand halted after dispute over inspection arises – How long will the cash-strapped SEO remain standing?

Posted on November 25, 2019 Leave a comment

South Africa has blocked Denel’s huge contract worth billions of Rand. The contracts, the largest of which are for weapons in the two countries, Saudi Arabia, and the other in the United Arab Emirates, have been blocked and could eventually be canceled by the buyers.

South African manufacturer Denel, which, like many other state entities, is currently struggling to keep its head above water, can hardly afford to lose the giant orders because a dispute over inspection has arisen.

Informed sources point out that this could also mean that thousands of jobs could be jeopardized by the struggling armaments manufacturer.

The inspection dispute apparently revolves around a clause in the export documents that requires foreign customers not to transfer weapons to third-party institutions or countries.

The provision further states that South Africa is allowed to inspect the facilities, and the provisions could lead to cancellation of orders a

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

Posted on November 12, 2019 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.

R500 million new fire truck tender in court after correct tender procedure has not been complied with – More than half of Johannesburg’s fire stations still have no fire trucks

Posted on September 27, 2019 Leave a comment

The Johannesburg Municipality’s 10 new fire trucks for the emergency management service’s deal have now landed in court. Marcé Projects approached the Johannesburg High Court and asked that the contract between the city and TFM Industries that received the R500m contract be void.

Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba delivered 10 emergency services vehicles on Monday that were to be the first batch of the expected 92 that will reinforce fire stations around Johannesburg. Allegations that irregularities are associated with the contract are now being tried in court, and could become a startling incident. Unconfirmed reports indicate that the correct tender procedure has not been complied with, which according to opinion holders always presents a possibility of unlawful conduct

In July, it was revealed there were only seven fire trucks across 30 fire stations in Johannesburg.

Former SA President, Zuma has been charged with corruption linked to a multi-billion dollar arms deal – However, he denies any wrongdoing

Posted on June 10, 2019 Leave a comment

Why was there an arms deal? – Newly democratic South Africa decided its military needed to be overhauled – and five years after coming into power following the end of white minority rule, the African National Congress (ANC) government signed contracts totally 30bn rand ($5bn; £3bn in 1999).

The deal involved companies from Germany, Italy, Sweden, Britain, France and South Africa.

Update on current situation:
The arms deal has most recently been in the news as Jacob Zuma is currently fending off corruption charges related to it. His legal team has applied for a permanent stay of prosecution in his corruption trial in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg.

Together with his co-accused, French arms dealer Thales, Zuma is attempting to stave off attempts to face trial for 783 questionable payments he allegedly received improperly in exchange for saying he would protect the company from possible future criminal prosecution.<

Transnet wants to keep R2,5bn Gupta contract after High Court ordered contract to be cancelled – Wonder water favours and gifts are at stake here?

Posted on March 5, 2019 Leave a comment

Transnet intends to disregard the High Court’s court order which ruled that a R2.5 billion contract awarded to T-Systems should be cancelled.

The court ruled that the contract should be granted to Gijima Holdings. Transnet has made no effort to comply with the court order and aims to extend T-Systems’ contract for another 12 to 24 months.

It is not known whether Gijima Holdings will serve Transnet’s actions and whether they will approach the court again.
