SA President, Cyril Ramaphosa meets reality – delayed for hours after chaotic trip on Metrorail train- 50km journey took four hours to complete

Posted on Leave a comment

If Cyril Ramaphosa was looking for an authentic experience on a Metrorail train, he got more than he bargained for: Much to the delight of his political foes.

Delays, packed cabins and broken windows dominated President Cyril Ramaphosa’s train trip as part of the ANC’s blitz election campaign on Monday.

Ramaphosa got to experience first-hand the daily frustrations of those who use trains to commute to work, as the train he eventually got on board of was more than an hour late.

Squashed in a cabin with commuters, Ramaphosa said the delay was “unacceptable” after a 50km trip took four hours. So delayed was the attempt to canvas votes, that the president was late for a scheduled Top-6 ANC meeting.

Not only did the president of South Africa wait for at least two hours for the train from Mabopane to Pretoria, but he was on the train for almost two hours after it stopped.

Num and ANC bumped heads over the restructuring of Eskom, union threatening to shut down power supply

Posted on Leave a comment

The Num trade union is directly in line with government’s suggestion that Eskom should be “unbundled”.

Ramaphosa’s assurance that workers will not lose their jobs is not in line with Pravin Gordhan’s statement that Eskom will offer its workers a severance package.

Num threatened that they would bring the country’s power supply to a halt if there was no clarity about the future of workers.

Meanwhile, Ramaphosa was stranded for hours while waiting for a metro train during the ANC recruitment campaign.

The delay was caused by power failures and poor service by the rail agency.

Gordhan’s statement that heads will be rolling as a vague opportunity considered by political analysts.

Well with dagga legalised in South Africa this man maybe had to much of it:- White man (trash) declaring support for ANC (video)

Posted on Leave a comment

Fikile Mbalula shared a video of a new ANC supporter, Peter Mac from Benoni. In the video, Mac says he is voting ANC because he believes the party’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, will facilitate positive change and will bring the money back to South Africa.

South Africa reacted to the video, which was shared on social media. Many users were excited about ANC’s ‘new dawn’ and a potentially multiracial ruling party and consequently, country, Briefly found.

Some users, on the other hand, were skeptical and felt that Mac’s support of the ANC was simply because of Ramaphosa’s likelihood of protecting the white interest in capital.

Others criticized Mbalula and the ANC for flaunting white supporters as though they were more meaningful than the support of the rest of the country.

Typical African ignorance – SA President, Cyril Ramaphosa went totally whacko – declared that white people stole land from blacks during Jan van Riebeeck’s period

Posted on Leave a comment

During a land-claims ceremony where two families’ land was given back to them, the president of the country again fell into typical African ignorance.

According to Ramaphosa, foreigners (whites), where received with open arms when they arrived in South Africa.

The Whites were provided with food, friendship and land but it was apparently not enough. Then, according to Ramaphosa, the Whites came to steal the blacks’ land.

Who was in the Cape in 1652 on Jan van Riebeeck’s arrival?

Who killed the Boers on the eastern border? Who attacked the boere trekkers at Bloed Rivier? Who are currently murdering the Afrikaner farmers on their farms? Observers consider lies as deceptions, whether the ANC president makes these falsehood overseas or anywhere, his credibility goes down by the day.

Meanwhile, FF Plus leader Pieter Groenewald says if land was stolen, those people must be prosecuted.

SARB Changes from Sacrosanct to Nationalization – Ramaphosa is Misleading the Country with a Double-Edged Tongue

Posted on Leave a comment

“The president told the World Economic Forum in Davos that the bank would remain independent and that there’s not nationalisation on the cards, now he’s saying something different. This is very bad for investment. People won’t invest in a country where the president speaks with a false tongue.”

President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered a major blow to the rand this week after making it explicitly clear that the ANC, and thus government, will move ahead with its goal to nationalise the South African Reserve Bank.

This change of heart which speaks of lies, corruption and hidden agendas is standing in stark contrast to the message he delivered to investors at the World Economic Forum in Davos in the beginning of the year, where he said that the South African Reserve Bank’s independence was sacrosanct.

Research analyst at Nomura, Peter Attard Montalto says that markets are not taking the threat to the South African Reserve Bank’s i

Cyril Ramaphosa expected to sign controversial Aarto Bill (Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences) into law

Posted on Leave a comment

Stricter measures on the road will be introduced if this Bill is singed into law. The National Assembly has done its bit. Now it is up to President Cyril Ramaphosa to sign the controversial Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (Aarto) Bill into law.

As reported by Business Tech, both Houses were in agreement that the Bill ought to be singed into law. It is now the responsibility of the president to decide if it will indeed serve its purpose, which is to fundamentally change the way South Africans drive.

Where will we see changes with the Aarto Bill?
Penalties on non-payment of traffic fines?

Once the new Bill becomes law, law enforcement will have the right to clamp down a lot harder on motorists who fail to pay their traffic fines.

Currently, motorists with unpaid traffic fines still enjoy the luxury of being on the road. This new law will more than likely restrict that, or at least make driving around with unpaid

White Farmer Seeks Asylum with His Family at the US Border with Mexico – First in South African History

Posted on Leave a comment

While South Africa is a troubled country in turmoil, few are aware that the fear white South Africans live in, has reached beyond our borders. A white South African farmer and his family asked for asylum at the US border with Mexico.

They were kept at a Mexican holding for three weeks for protection before meeting with the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). They have undergone extensive grilling and interviews. They had to do a credible fear test, which they passed. That is right, their fear is real.

The white farmer has a minor daughter that was interviewed without the presence of her parents. Currently, the family resides with friends in the US after the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) concluded the fa

Posted on Leave a comment

Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane named and shamed those that defied her instructions today and the top names include Cyril Ramaphosa, Minister Tito Mboweni and Minister Bheki Cele.

“If you are a minister, you should be respecting the Constitution and the rule of law.”

With fifty top heads of state outlined including the President, the Finance Minister and Police Minister how should the nation feel about our leaders….trusting and confident?

Mkhwebane said despite budget constraints, she is forced to take various matters to court to force state organs into action.

“We’re here to support and strengthen our constitutional democracy. We are not here to be antagonistic.”

She has slammed Cele for failing to protect whistle-blowers in Umzimkhulu in KwaZulu-Natal. The public protector found that in 2018, Cele and the police had failed to protect Thabiso Zulu and Les Stuta, who had blown the whistle on corruption which t

According to Senzo Mchunu, one of ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa’s confidantes, black managers are too blame for the bankrupt Eskom

Posted on Leave a comment

An ANC member of the party’s National Executive Committee, Senzo Mchunu, says it is black executives who are responsible for the condition at Eskom.

He says all that they have achieved was to do well in the failures.

Senzo Mchunu is one of ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa’s confidantes who are now out against Eskom’s “black managers”.

In an interview, he added that they would still regret some of their black managers  who were praised as excellent executives and trusted by the ANC.

Opinion polls say the ruling concludes that Italians from whites must correct the chaos at Eskom while many highly skilled drivers are finding whites in South Africa but hated and therefore will not be used.

What did South-Africans used before candles? Electricity! – Eskom is apparently technically bankrupt and its R420bn debt currently accounts for 15% of the country’s debt – will no longer exist at the current projection by April 2019

Posted on Leave a comment

The Portfolio Committee of Public Enterprises heard at the hearing of the Department of Public Entities that Eskom was “technically bankrupt”.

Eskom will no longer exist at the current projection by April 2019.

The power supply’s R420bn debt burden currently accounts for 15% of the country’s debt and its revenue has increased fourfold since 2007 but its expenses, especially with staff overload, have exceeded revenue. Staff alone increased from 32,000 to 48,000 in eleven years.

Despite the increase in staff, critical knowledge was lacking, which resulted in 40% of interruptions at the different power stations being attributed to “human factors”.

ANC president builds poor record due to numerous occasions where he has been caught distorting the truth, now Ramaphosa refuses to show the contract between his son and Bosasa

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa refused the opposition party’s request to disclose the contract between his son, Andile Ramaphosa and Bosasa.

Opposition parties claim that its refusal indicates that the contract does not exist and the president has once again lied.

Observers reckon that he is becoming increasingly entangled with all the untruths and denials that further detract from his credibility.

To date, the ANC president has built up a poor record because of the numerous times he was caught up in distorting the truth.

The National Health Insurance Act which will soon be put proposed, to provide free health care to everyone, regardless of where they are calling for medical care, will lead to chaos in private hospitals and may finally break the country’s economy

Posted on Leave a comment

According to President Cyril Ramaphosa, it is clear that the country’s health care is in crisis and needs rehabilitation.

More than 75% of state hospitals budget goes for salaries that are severely affected by patients who are not receiving proper treatment due to a money shortage.

According to Ramaphosa, the National Health Insurance Act will soon be tabled, which will provide free health care to all regardless of where they call for medical care.

Experts point out that Zuma’s “free education” has plunged the country’s universities into chaos, and now its successor comes and wants to get the country’s total health care messed up.

The result of the policy will lead to chaos in private hospitals and may finally break the country’s economy.
