Ramaphosa tries to charm whites – admits that the ANC has moved away from a non-racial character and has neglected the Afrikaans language

Posted on Leave a comment

During an election speech for about 400 people, apparently most white, Ramaphosa acknowledged that the ANC had moved away from a non-racial character.

A Johan Erasmus of the movement “Betereinders” asked him about black nationalism. Ramaphosa lto shaded away from the word “black nationalism” and says it is rather “black self-awareness” or “black pride” but it is dominated by “South Africanism”.

He repeated Mandela’s words: Never will one group be considered better than another group as Afrikaner nationalists do. He appealed to whites to attend days such as Freedom Day and other national days.

However, his admissions did not stop there. He also admits that the ANC has neglected the Afrikaans language, and that the injustice will be rectified, but Afrikaners believe it is another lie on the ANC president’s tally.

Botswana forbids wife of Jeff Radebe, Ramaphosa’s sister-in-law to enter the country without a visa

Posted on Leave a comment

Botswana has now banned businesswoman Bridgette Radebe, wife of energy minister Jeff Radebe, sister-in-law of pres. Cyril Ramaphosa and sister of billionaire businessman Patrice Motsepe from entering the country without a visa.

Daily Maverick reports that Radebe’s movements in Botswana have been curbed after reports of trying to interfere in the ruling party’s leadership election. It is considered a huge blow to her business interests and an even greater embarrassment to Ramaphosa’s government.

Magang Ngaka Ngaka, Botswana’s National Minister for Immigration and Gender Affairs, announced in a special government newspaper that Radebe and her South African business partner, the Sandton businessman known as Malcolm X, will have to apply for visas as their Botswana in the future. want to visit.

Most South Africans, with the exception of Julius Malema, leader of the EFF, and some other EFF leaders, can cross the border to Bots

Leftish publication that has been supporting DA for many years has changed its mind and now stands behind ANC – Believes that Ramaphosa will save the legacy of the terrorist Mandela

Posted on Leave a comment

The economically liberal publication The Economist described Cyril Ramaphosa as an “honest reformer” and the one who can redress the country. Not mentioning that ANC President Ramaphosa was second in command during the “wasted Zuma” years.

In 2014, the magazine supported the DA but is now turning to the ANC. Ramaphosa is apparently trying to save the legacy of the terrorist Mandela, but Helen Zille attacked the site because of their support for the ANC.

The magazine has been known for its cloak-turning when it comes to contemporary politics, and observers say the newspaper is also not well-known for high-profile reporting.

TAU SA not impressed with Ramaphosa’s plea to white youths to stay in the country – he only delivers talks adapted to the audience he is talking to

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA’s Young Farmers call on the President to obey the concerns and fears that white young people have over South Africa.

TAU SA is not at all impressed with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s plea to white people to stay in the country. So far, he has been delivering only electoral talks that are constantly adapted depending on the audience he is talking to.

Pres Ramaphosa – as part of his pre-election campaign – called for young, white South Africans not to leave the country. He said he wanted the group, with their skills in the country.

“We hope these words are not just empty election promises,” said Mr Ferdie Landman, chairman of TAU SA Young Farmers. “We also want to make it clear that, as white young people, we feel unwelcome and unsafe in the country.

“There are several things that worry us and make greener pastures considered outside the country,” he explains.

TAU SA has compiled

South Africa’s Economic and Social Decline As Bad as A Country At War, But it’s Not At War, is it?

Posted on Leave a comment
New research from think tank Eunomix Business & Economics found that South Africa endured one of the worst declines over the past 12 years for a country not at war.

The country’s performance on a range of social, economic, and governance measures deteriorated more than any other nation not involved in an international or civil conflict, it said.

An index of security, governance, prosperity, and welfare indicators showed South Africa slumped to 88th out of 178 nations last year from 31st in 2006.

The Johannesburg-based advisory company said the decline is likely to continue as South Africa is grappling with the consequences of nine years of worsening corruption and policy paralysis under former President Jacob Zuma.

The fragility of the economy may also limit the tenure of his successor, Cyril Ramaphosa, who faces his first national election May 8, Eunomix said.<

Ramaphosa administration is set to splash out R750 million on renovating minister’s homes and other government buildings at a time when the country’s tax-collection revenue is on the decline

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s administration is set to splash out on renovations for ministerial homes and other government-owned buildings, including R29 million on a guardhouse and R29 million on gates and a doghouse.

The Sunday Times reports that more than R730 million has been set aside for a number of upgrades, at a time when the country’s tax-collection revenue is on the decline, and is in sharp contrast to the cost-cutting measures that the government has previously pledged to introduce.

Citing a written reply to parliament by public works minister, Thulas Nxesi, the paper reported that the money has been allocated for the Union Buildings, houses for MPs and ministers, and their offices within the parliamentary precinct.

The budget includes the following items:

R5.7 million for new carpets for the Union Buildings in Pretoria;
R1 million for bathroom and kitchen upgrades to a ministerial house in Rondebosch;
R29 millio

More than 22 ANC candidates are not eligible to stand in election, Ramaphosa does not oppose them for fear that his comrades will turn against him as president of the ANC

Posted on Leave a comment

Political analysts argue that the pointing out of candidates who are unsuitable in the election pose a problem to ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa.

If he were to act and remove the candidates, there would be disagreements within some ranks. If he did not act, investors would attack him as he promised to eradicate corruption within the party.

This means that no action will be taken by Ramaphosa on the grounds that the Zuma camp and members of the National Executive may turn against him.

This may result in the party kicking him out as president of the ANC, which again has international implications for SA. David Mabuza, Gwede Mantashe, Bheki Cele, Zizi Kodwa, Nomvula Mokonyane, Bathabile Dlamini and Malusi Gigaba are all part of the group of 22 members pointed out by the integrity comic. However, there are also fingers pointing to Ramaphosa with his alleged involvement in the Bosasa scandal and making it impossible for action against the other.

Ramaphosa tells farmers ‘Don’t fear reform process’, do you remember the history of Piet Retief and Dingaan, and poor Jan gets the blame too.

Posted on Leave a comment

Farmers shouldn’t see themselves as an island, President Cyril Ramaphosa told wine farmers and businessmen when his campaign trail took him to the Beyerskloof wine estate outside Stellenbosch.

He said farmers should be part of the solutions facing the country, and they should embrace change.

Ramaphosa said South African farmers were really good, but that the country also came from a “very sad history, a terrible history, particularly on issues of the land”.

He said, as he did in his State of the Nation Address last year, that land was South Africa’s original sin.

“It happened when Jan van Riebeeck first set foot here,” Ramaphosa said.

“The future is a good future if we all work together.”

The solution was not to be isolationist, he said.

According to Ramaphosa, individual farmers found ways to address the “horrible past” and include their wor

ANC will do anything to cling on to power! Ramaphosa’s ANC intent on burning the country to the ground as they lose the support of SA

Posted on Leave a comment

We have gathered evidence of the ANC’s coordinated campaign to literally burn parts of South Africa, particularly where the DA governs. This is indicative of an organisation that is becoming desperate as the writing is on the wall.

South Africans are increasingly rejecting the ANC’s 25 years of empty promises and corruption that has stolen from our people. South Africans want change.

The ANC is running scared of the DA and the inroads the Party has been making across ANC governed areas, as well as the significant change and development we are bringing to the 33 areas we govern on behalf of and for 15 million South Africans in Gauteng, Western Cape, Limpopo and the Eastern Cape.

These attacks are intended to undermine the progress being made in DA governments. Rolling protests are being planned in order to incite violence and shut down communities, in pursuit of the ANC’s narrow political objectives. It is now clearer than ever that the ANC

Cyril Ramaphosa (wolf in sheep clothing) urges young white people to stay in SA, for what, to be murdered, tortured, humiliated and not finding a job, and the list is growing

Posted on Leave a comment

If President Cyril Ramaphosa had his way, he would tie young white South Africans to trees.

This was his tongue-in-cheek comment as he urged young white South Africans to not leave the country. The president’s campaign trail stopped in the Beyerskloof wine estate outside Stellenbosch on Tuesday afternoon.

Several of the assembled farmers and businessmen were allowed to ask Ramaphosa questions through Beyers Truter, farm co-owner and winemaker, who acted as an MC.

Ramaphosa, who mentioned more than once that he was a farmer himself, was well received.

Truter said he believed the lord anointed kings and presidents, and he believed God anointed Ramaphosa. Truter needs his head examined.

Grape farmer Chris Steenkamp said: “Everyone here likes you, everyone here trusts you.” Mr Steenkamp should follow Truter’s medical treatment.

He said they’ve known Ramaphosa since the days of Codesa and Ramaphosa

Ramaphosa may head to the Zondo commission ‘hot seat’ to testify, will he pitch or hide, maybe his skeletons will come out the wardrobe

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa will “probably” take the stand when the ANC finally gets its chance to make submissions before the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture. This is projected to happen sometime next year, towards the end of the hearings.

So says ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile.

Speaking to City Press on the sidelines of an election campaign in Cape Town, he said that the party “will go at the right time [to the commission]”.

“It will probably be led by the president himself to speak for the ANC because at the end of the day, the buck stops with our president,” he said.

“We have time. The commission is still busy. The ANC will probably come towards the end – maybe next year. We are not rushing there. Let people speak; we will come.”

Mashatile said many people had forgotten that the commission was the product of an ANC decision.

“It is we, in our conference, who said we want a state cap

Jacob ‘shower-head’ Zuma could face US investigation over $30 million deal with Gaddafi, you can run but you can’t hide

Posted on Leave a comment

The devil’s in the dollar on this one. Following the Sunday Times‘ explosive report that Jacob Zuma helped stash Muammar Gaddafi’s “missing millions” in a bunker at Nkandla, speculation has been rife about whether the former president will have to face any criminal charges going forward.

It is alleged that Msholozi accepted $30 million – about R420 million – from the former dictator of Libya just months before he died: Gaddafi, fearing the end was near for his regime, apparently barreled money out of the country from the federal reserve – these “missing millions” have taken on their own legend and folklore over the last decade.

The Nkandla bunker has been subject to much speculation over the years. On a visit to the former president’s home, ex-Public Protector Thuli Madonsela was denied access to the sealed-off room. Investigators are adamant that this is wher
