Trump Calls Out World Health Organisation (WHO) for Their “China-centricity” and for Calling Every Shot Wrong on COVID19 Chinese Virus!

Posted on Leave a comment
In a long overdue commentary, US President Donald Trump has threatened to hold back funding to the embattled World Health Organization, leaving the struggling globalist organisation without the slush fund from its largest donor, as many of its 194 members are currently being ravaged by the coronavirus. Will China, who has largely seemed to be calling all the shots at WHO, and has allegedly recovered, step in and take up the slack, even as the WHO demands that the world must show China “gratitude & respect“?
During his daily briefing on the coronavirus situation on Tuesday, Trump unleashed an attack, this time at the WHO, saying that the organization he dubbed “China-centric” was too slow and ineffective in its response to the coronavirus pandemic. He said “The World Health Organization receives vast amounts of money from the United Stat

Cellphone giant MTN accused of bribing Taliban – indirectly MTN clients are subsidising this designated terrorist organisation

Posted on Leave a comment

MTN accused of paying protection money to the Taliban, a designated terrorist organisation known to have been working with al-Qaeda.

The company is among several multinationals facing a US lawsuit on behalf of killed or wounded US military in Afghanistan.

SUMMARY:
A civil lawsuit brought in the US says MTN paid protection money to the Taliban and actively helped its fighters from being detected by US counter-insurgency forces

The company, along with five other Western businesses, have been accused in a US court of having violated the Anti-Terrorism Act by paying protection money to the Taliban, a designated terrorist organisation known to have been working with al-Qaeda.

The Taliban was overthrown by US-led forces in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when the US accused Afghanistan’s ruling party of harbouring those responsible for the attacks. Those not killed went into hiding before launching a prolonged counter-insurgency

South Africa’s army has run out of money – this is how much trouble it is in

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa’s National Defence Force (SANDF) is in a dire financial state, and with no promise of future funding, things may still get worse.

Answering in a recent parliamentary Q&A session minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, said that current plans to get the SANDF back on track are entirely dependent on its funding.

“The prevention of the SANDF capabilities from declining further is entirely dependent on the budget allocation of the Defence Force, which has been decreasing at an alarming rate over the years with a negative impact of the entire capabilities,” she said.

“The Defence Review 2015 has been developed with a plan to arrest the decline of the SANDF but unfortunately no funding has been received to attend to the declining capabilities of the SANDF.”

Mapisa-Nqakula added that the years-long decline of the SANDF meant that it was becoming increasingly difficult to protect the country.

Leech entity Eskom, is holding the ANC hostage and demands funds or else the whole of SA will suffer without power

Posted on Leave a comment

If there is no funding, there will be no change, and the ANC regime will be guilty party because he made the appointments in the power utility’s senior posts.

This is the opinion of a political analyst after Finance Minister Tito Mboweni announced that Eskom needed R59bn to remain operational.

The minister announced in Parliament what needs to be done to support the struggling Eskom, saying the amount of R59bn is needed.

This means that the ANC government has to transfer R26 billion this year, and R33 billion in the financial year to the “leech” entity.

The big argument is still being used to make Eskom too strong in its evil, by saying if it is not done, there will be no power in the country’s analysts.

Experts say Eskom can say they need R30bn in three years, and if not, there are no lights.

Funds allocated to Prasa will now be used to bailout failed Sanral e-toll systems

Posted on Leave a comment

The “state” is presenting new legislation which will mean that funds allocated to Prasa will be transferred to bailout the failed Sanral e-toll system.

R2 billion is allegedly involved in the transfer after R 3 billion of Prasa money was already transferred to Sanral in 2018.

Transport economists believe this is a step in the wrong direction as the rail transport network urgently needs money to improve the outdated infrastructure so that rail transport can once again take its rightful place in the South African transport system and alleviate the pressure on roads.

You, the taxpayer are paying for ministers and deputy ministers cleaning materials, internet services, DStv and cell phones

Posted on Leave a comment

Ever wondered who was paying for ministers and deputy ministers’ cleaning materials, internet services, DStv and cell phones?

You.

Dondo Mogajane … apparently obliged to exchange two BMW X5’s.

Even former ministers and their deputies’ free flights can cost the taxpayer as much as R17 million a year, according to the updated version of the ministerial handbook, which was approved by Cabinet on 8 June.

The ANC initially tried to stop opposition parties from seeing the textbook, when someone put it on the internet this week.

According to the new handbook, the state will pay “equipment” such as “mobile rental”, fax machines, DStv and internet and WiFi services for ministers, their deputies, premiers and MECs.

Spending on DStv Premium alone can therefore cost a total of R129 000 per month.

The ministerial handbook has been changed for the first time in 12 years after it was i

ANC Election Donors – Companies like Sanlam, Angelo American, MTN fund the ruling party

Posted on Leave a comment

SA’s political parties have been receiving donations in the form of money, goods and services for years from the likes of banks, corporations, individuals, foreign entities, governments and political parties, and state-owned enterprises.

Although donations to political parties are not always in hard cash, the largest donations are usually paid into bank accounts.

Sometimes goods are handled by political parties that come in handy, while some services that are delivered free of charge are also part of  donations are considered.

Each year, with elections, the question arises as to who makes donations to political parties, and the most important party is usually the governing party whose details attract attention.

With May 8 in the limelight for those who want to vote, it can be informative about who gave money to the ANC in the past, and probably again this year.

Of course, Bosasa’s name stands at the top of the list of dono

Stadium in Cape Town, which was built for the 2010 Fifa football cup, is basically unused and is a burden on taxpayers and bankrupt municipalities

Posted on Leave a comment

The Cape Town Stadium, built for the 2010 Fifa World Soccer Cup, is a white elephant and is managed by huge losses.

Now the Cape Town Council has allocated millions for the appointment of a company secretary and financial manager.

R2.5 million a year has been approved for the two posts. Even JP Smith of the Mayors’ Security and Security Committee expressed concern for further funding and warned that it would put a burden on taxpayers.

Numerous stadiums were set up in South Africa for the sporting event during which the South African team performed extremely poorly opposed to other countries, and the stadiums are is basically unused and is a burden on taxpayers and bankrupt municipalities
