Constitutional Court says Public Protector is incompetent for her post

Posted on Leave a comment

The Legal Practice Board was requested by Accountability Now (AN), a non-profit organization, to remove the name of the Public Protector (PP), Busisiwe Mkhwebane, from the advocates.

It follows the Constitutional Court’s ruling that she had acted and lied under oath. Adv Paul Hoffman, a director at AN, said in a letter to the Legal Practice Council that the findings against the PP are serious and final and that her honesty, integrity and competency as PP is affected.

Dr Pieter Groenewald, leader of the FF Plus says that the ruling and findings of the Constitutional Court this morning against the Public Protector (PP), Adv. Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who has, among other things, exceeded her mandate, is damning and in fact she says she is incompetent for office as South Africa’s EM.

The Constitutional Court found this morning that the Public Prosecutor’s Office had issued a “large amount of untruths” in the case an

Suspension of Red Ants opened the door for illegal land occupations and land grabs – those who abide by the law are punished while law breakers go unpunished

Posted on Leave a comment

The Freedom Front Plus on Tuesday warned that the suspension of the Red Ants’ business registration was alarming and opened the door for illegal land occupations and land grabs.

The FF Plus was reacting to reports that the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA) had suspended the business registration of Red Ant Security Relocation and Eviction Services, following the demolitions of illegal structures in Alexandra in May.

The party said it seemed that PSiRA had given in to political pressure to take action against the Red Ants.

“The Red Ants usually only take action after obtaining a warrant and the FF Plus assumes that the company did that in this case as well so the party, therefore, sees no grounds for the allegation that the company acted outside of its mandate,” the FF Plus said.

It said the fact that the company’s hands were now tied opened the door for large-scale land occupations.

“Open spac

Mandela’s daughter racists rants on Twitter: whites are “cowards” and “land thieves” and dr. Chris Barnard learned “The Basics of Heart Surgery from His Black Gardener”

Posted on Leave a comment

The Nelson Mandela Foundation has noted the tweets posted by South Africa’s ambassador to Denmark, Zindzi Mandela, but said it had no intention of requestion a meeting with her.

The tweets, which caused quite a stir, contained phrases calling white South Africans are “land thieves” and “apartheid apologists” who are just like “unwelcome guests”.

The 59-year-old daughter of former president Nelson Mandela and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela added that white people were making a mistake by clinging to their “good native” fantasies, and that it was time black South Africans took their land back.

“Whilst I dine and wine here … wondering how the world of shivering land thieves is doing,” Mandela wrote on Twitter on Thursday night.

Her tirade on the social media platform started with the following words: “Dear Apartheid Apologists, your time is over. You will not rule again. We do not fear you. Finally #TheLandIsOurs.”

The stupidity of this red beret knows no measures: White people made it ‘clear they are racist’ by voting FF+ – So how about those who voted EFF Malema, are they racist as well?

Posted on Leave a comment

The huge rise in support for the right-wing party is ‘evidence’ that ‘white privilege is shaken’, the EFF leader says.

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema commented on the massive growth of the right-wing Freedom Front Plus (FF+) in the 2019 elections at a press conference on Thursday.

Malema says he believes their increase in support is a sign of white people showing their true colours.

“I am happy white people are taking a position. Their voting for FF+ is making it clear that they are racist,” he said.

Malema believes the growth of the FF shows how white people “immediately regroup to protect white privilege” when it is “threatened”.
“You have evidence now that white privilege is shaken,” he added.

Malema then turned his attention to the inclusion of apartheid-era prime minister Hendrik Verwoerd’s grandson on the party’s list of members who would be going to parliament.

Black First Land First (BLF) claim “3-0 victory” over Freedom Front Plus (FF+) in court, but the scores aren’t settled yet, the BLF will stay on the ballot, but the FF+ could soon force a review

Posted on Leave a comment

The Electoral Court in Johannesburg brought two warring parties face-to-face on Monday, as Black First Land First (BLF) and Freedom Front Plus (FF+) fought their cases diligently. Both parties have claimed victory in their duel, but can we really take anyone’s word for it?

BLF vs FF+: What did the courts say?
The BLF – known for their bombastic brand of rhetoric – were jubilant after the proceedings, claiming the judge’s decision was a vindication of their “black-only” membership policy. The FF+ have declared their position unconstitutional, and want their political nemesis banned from the 2019 Elections.

The court decided on Monday afternoon that the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) should not have dismissed FF+’s appeal straight away. They have set aside that decision, meaning that the Chief Electoral Officer of the Commission must now make a decision on the matter “imminently”.

Can you vo

The South African political parties in favour of the death penalty, do you want the Death Penalty to be enforced?

Posted on Leave a comment

It’s one of the more divisive topics up for discussion during the 2019 Elections, but the subject of re-introducing the death penalty often proves to be a popular one when the politicians are on the prowl for our votes.

South Africa’s abnormally-high crime rates and propensity for gender-based violence often gets emotions running high – which is perhaps a good enough argument for why this particular punishment should not be used as an electioneering tool.

In fact, these were sentiments echoed by Clare Ballard, the head of the penal reform programme of Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR) in midweek. She said that the conversation merely deflects from the actual causes of crime:

“The death penalty is not a quick fix and it does not cure crime. Every time politicians avoid confronting the complex truths about crime and punishment, we lose a vital opportunity to examine what it will take to ensure real safety for everyone.”

Mngxitama calls De Vos a ‘f***ing racist’ for refusing to help BLF, that happens all the time, if you don’t want to help then they pull a ‘red card’ on you called ‘your a ‘f***ing racist’

Posted on Leave a comment

The BLF leader wanted the law expert to sign on as a ‘friend of the court’ in the Freedom Front Plus’s case against them.

Constitutional law expert Professor Pierre de Vos took to Twitter to tell his side of what happened when controversial Black First Land First (BLF) leader Andile Mngxitama gave him a call.

“Andile phoned me last week to ask me to help with their court case. I said no thanks because he and his ‘party’ has an enormous credibility problem. His response: ‘You are a f***ing racist’,” De Vos tweeted, adding that his response was to laugh.

Poor little Thandi Modise states that ‘Black Farmers Do Better Than White Farmers In South Africa”, but your farm failed (photo’s)

Posted on Leave a comment

The National Council of Provinces chairperson Thandi Modise believes that AfriForum’s decision to privately prosecute her for animal cruelty is to advance the narrative of the failure of black farmers.

The lobby group and the SPCA announced on Thursday it would pursue the case.

Modise believes that AfriForum is targeting her to show that black people can’t farm and the case has emerged now when Parliament is embarking on a process related to land expropriation without compensation.

Modise said that in reality ‘black farmers do better than white farmers in South Africa”.

But AfriForum says it was the SPCA which approached them in November last year while Parliament’s process was adopted in February this year.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel is eager to get back into a courtroom.

“Mr Mangwale and his team did a steely work in locating the witnesses in enhancing the case, consulting with experts.”

Nel hopes to have t

R200 mill of drought relief monies intended for KwaZulu Natal gone missing – South Africa’s farmers find themselves in a crisis and as a result, our country’s food security and economy are also in crisis

Posted on Leave a comment

The FF Plus is shocked and disgusted by the news that nearly R220 million, which was earmarked for drought relief in KwaZulu Natal, went missing. It is unclear how the money went missing and the FF Plus demands an urgent investigation into the matter so that the guilty parties can be called to account.

The drought has already taken its toll on the agricultural sector with livestock deaths and poor harvests being at the order of the day. There have been enormous livestock losses in the Free State, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape in particular and some of these parts have not had any rain since November 2017.

The government must urgently prioritise drought relief for commercial as well as emerging farmers. The government must also ensure that the process is managed properly so that the money allocated to drought relief is not stolen, as is the case in KwaZulu Natal.

There are cases where service providers were appointed by means of a tender process

Ramaphosa creates the impression that racism is only a white problem

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s reaction on Radio 702 when asked about the hate speech of BLF leader, Andile Mngxitama, is disappointing as he shifted the focus to white people as if to imply that racism is mainly a white problem.

According to media reports, President Ramaphosa implied that racism is not common among black people and that Mngxitama is probably just “a lone voice out there in the wilderness”.

President Ramaphosa also added that “we cannot, through the hatred of some white people then begin to define the whole white community as haters of black people”. And: we must say that those who hate black people and those who are racist must be isolated. We must teach them the best ways to be a nation.

The President’s play on words creates the impression that South Africa’s real problem lies with white people, while in reality, the problem under discussion is Mngxitama’s hateful statements. This also echoes the statements made b
