It is tragic that the courts have to protect the true diversity of South Africa, with a dozen languages, from the ANC regime, and it remains unfortunate that the ANC government preaches diversity, yet applies monolingualism. This ruling is appropriate on the eve of Heritage Day, in that it recognized the language rights of students, and imposes a specific obligation with regard to execution on Unisa. It is equally unfortunate that language and cultural communities have to turn to the courts in the final instance, to claim their rights as diverse languages with specific reference to Afrikaans, especially at historically Afrikaans universities.

Transform or Starve! ANC Using COVID19 Aid to Blackmail Whites to Give Business to Blacks! COVID19: Turning Capitalism into Socialism!
Posted on Leave a comment
Leninism comes to SA: The COVID19 crisis is not only making Black South africans realise that the ANC are the african version of champagne socialists, i.e. despots who make false promises and will let their own people starve, but it is also exposing the ANC’s overt racism. The ANC openly says they won’t assist white small business owners with emergency or taxpayer funds unless they “transform enough”!
A spokeswoman for the Department of Tourism has admitted that no government COVID19 assistance will be given to any white owner of a business in the tourism sector. The department made R200 Million available for small and medium sized businesses in the tourism sector so that they can apply for funds in the lockdown period. Businesses in the tourism sector like guesthouses and tour operators cannot make any money because of the lockdown regulations and the restriction of international flights.
The minister of Tourism, Mmamo

Decomposing carcass of dog rots on chair in courtyard of Pretoria-North magistrates court! Cleanliness is next to Godliness but not in #TheAfricanWay
Posted on Leave a comment
The partially decomposed carcass of a dog is lying on one of hundreds of abandoned chairs and other equipment standing in the inside courtyard of the Pretoria-North magistrates court, all covered in bird poo. Nobody knows how it got there and nobody seems to care! After all, there are new tenders and contracts to plunder…
Lawyers and the public have no choice but to close their eyes and noses when walking past the mess. The courtyard is almost fully packed with old chairs, boxes, computer screens and old telephones and so are the passages. The untidy mess has been there for weeks and is the result of old furniture and stock being thrown out, but nobody seems to known what to do with the old equipment.
The manager of this particular court did not want to comment on the situation when approached by Rapport newspaper.
Motor giant Ford must fork out millions of Rands after Kuga model endangered human lives
Posted on Leave a comment
The case, which has been pending against the Ford company since 2017, has now come to a final conclusion and it has been decided that the motor giant will have to fork out millions of Rands, according to a court finding.
The Ford company, which initially denied that its Kuga model contained serious and dangerous flaws, eventually had to admit that the vehicle imposes danger to human life.
The Ford Kuga 1.6 EcoBoost model that caught fire and caused one person’s death is considered by car owners as a sufficient reason to close the manufacturer’s doors in South Africa because no amount can compensate for the loss of one’s life.
Ford must pay R35m in fines in terms of the final outcome.
All owners whose cars have failed, must receive R50,000 in compensation, which in the experts’ opinion is a very unfair decision, as some owners have suffered far more than R60,000.
There is an option that Ford owners may contin

Court deals Soweto residents who wants to pay a flat tarrif of R150 a month for electricity a blow by striking case off the roll
Posted on Leave a comment
Soweto owes R20bn to power provider Eskom, but residents of the township only want to pay R150 a month for their power. Mpho Sesedinyane, ANC councilor and chair of the South African National Civic Organization (Sanco) in Soweto, feels that R150 is a fair amount and that, given the state of the economy, the residents can only afford to pay this much a month for power.
However, Eskom rejected the proposal of a fixed power tariff of R150 per month for electricity. Eskom spokesperson Reneilwe Semenya said this proposal by community leaders in Soweto was unrealistic and residents had to pay for what they consumed. He also referred to the Johannesburg High Court which on Tuesday rejected an application to restore power supply to Soweto and allow residents to pay a flat rate for power.
Soweto owes R20 billion of the R420 billion owed to the Johannesburg metro power supplier. Semenya believes that if a fixed power tariff is set, it will certainly give rise to

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 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.
Zuma found guilty to a charge of defamation and must pay R500,000 to former minister Derek Hanekom
Posted on Leave a comment
Jacob Zuma, the ANC’s former president, who was busy with corruption during his reign, was found guilty in court of naming his former minister, Derek Hanekom.
Zuma allegedly said on the social network that Hanekom was an old spy of the enemy, which led to a court case in which Hanekom claimed R500,000 against Zuma.
The court ruled that Zuma should remove the offended comment on the social network, and he must properly apologize to Hanekom for his false accusation.
His legal representatives filed an appeal on Friday in an effort to set aside the Natal Supreme Court’s finding.
Judge Dhaya Pillay ordered Zuma to apologize to Derek Hanekom within 24 hours and remove the entry on the social network earlier, and is also responsible for the court costs.
Zuma’s lawyers say he did not portray Hanekom as a spy, but only as an agent of the enemy.

Zuma testifies to Zondo commission and says he is a victim of international organizations that have targeted him for years and made him appear to be corrupt
Posted on Leave a comment
The announcement that Jacob Zuma testified before the Zondo commission gave him a round of applause, but intellectuals believe that the man is going to “duck and dive” without making any significant confession.
Although there were seats for about 200 people and special arrangements were made to accommodate the former ANC president, over 5,000 supporters arrived to gather outside the meeting room.
The Commission is concentrating on Zuma’s alleged involvement in the Gupta affair as well as in State capture, but the former president made no significant remarks or acknowledgments.
Zuma yesterday told the Zondo Commission of Inquiry that he is the victim of international organizations that have targeted him for years and made him appear to be corrupt.
It is not known how long Zuma will be interviewed and observers believe there will be little right to prosecute him.
