SA Police Three Times More Deadly Than US Police! Black Lives Don’t Matter to the Black ANC Government with a Record Far Worse Than Apartheid!

Posted on Leave a comment

#BlackLivesDoNotMatter in South Africa: The deadly police brutality record of South African Police Service (SAPS) is more than 3 times worse than that of the USA Police Force, which is currently causing so much politically correct outrage in the mainstream. Indeed, SA has a police record that is not only embarrassing, but is also a disgrace and is far worse than in any of the apartheid era. In fact the the same amount of people (mostly black) are murdered in SA every year, under the ANC regime, as what were murdered in over 40 years of Apartheid government! So do black lives really matter in SA under ANC? 

Shockingly, in the 2017/18 financial year, the deaths of 759 people could be linked to the police – 201 died while in police custody, while 558 people died as a result of police action. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) 2017/18 annual report painted a grim picture as police brutality complaints increased, and 43 on-duty

12 Army members arrested for the disappearance of nineteen R4 assault rifles are set free on a mere warning

Posted on Leave a comment

The military court released 12 army members with only a warning after they were arrested in connection with the disappearance of nineteen R4 assault rifles.

The army members were arrested between December 24 and 27, 2019 on charges of housebreaking, theft and negligent loss of firearms after the disappearance of the weapons from the storeroom on their base.

The suspects, including captains, lieutenants, sergeants, and staff sergeants, were denied bail a week ago because the investigating officer and the then presiding military judge feared they might interfere with the investigation and evidence. It was then postponed for further investigation until Friday.

Their release is subject to various conditions, including moving the four officers and eight deputy officers from the Lyttelton Tek base in Centurion to other units in the Pretoria area.

According to reports from Network 24, Brian Plaatjies, the attorney for 11 of the accused, as well

Police officers spent R5.3m on fake EFF and Fees Must Fall investigations

Posted on Leave a comment

A pair of top officers are believed to have paid money from a crime intelligence slush fund to ‘informants’ which didn’t exist. A report in the Sunday Independent accuses top police officers of looting crime intelligence funds to the tune of R5.3 million.

The publication says an internal report shows that these officials embarked on supposed investigations into the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and Fees Must Fall movement leadership, but spent the money meant for these investigations on luxury hotels.

They also allegedly paid various amounts to non-existent “informants”.

According to the report, Major-General Deena Moodley and Colonel Preadhashni Govender spent a night at the Drakensburg Sun Resort in December, 2016, under the pretext that they were “attending a meeting by EFF members planning a rally” due to “conspiracy to commit arson by EFF Student Command”, changing theirs stories to say they were investigating a plot to

Posted on Leave a comment

A complainant who allegedly approached the Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, about an incident 10 years ago now wants to file a claim of R350,000 against her because she was unwilling to investigate the matter.

The complainant allegedly made a case against a senior member of the Limpopo Office of the Public Protector, and won the case.
The complainant, one Nchaube Peter Seabi, alleges that the head of the OB office in the northern province, Hamilton Samuel, insulted in the OB office in 2011 but that the Public Protector refused to investigate the matter.

However, the matter is quite confused, and whether the complainant can be a strong case against the PP will learn the time.

Asbestos case involving R250, million uncovered by Pieter Louis Myburg’s book, Gangster State

Posted on Leave a comment

After several years, the apparent corruption incident with asbestos plates on houses in the Free State is finally being investigated.

The Special Investigation Unit was commissioned by ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa to investigate the matter of R250 million.

The asbestos also secreted a fine substance that can cause asbestos poisoning, but whether it is part of the investigation is unknown.

In the Free State, 33,000 residential units have been identified with roof-top asbestos plates, and the scoring company, Blackhead-Diamond Hill, is linked to the case.

The investigation was ordered after the book, Gangster State by Pieter Louis Myburgh opened the matter.

Allegations that officials and contractors have dealt illegally with the contract to inspect the asbestos home roofs will now be investigated, but observers say the matter will ultimately lead to no one’s prosecution.

The teacher from Mabusabela Secondary School was monitoring grade 11 pupils writing the mid-year tourism paper.

A team of psychologists was still on the ground giving counselling services to learners at a Mpumalanga school where a teacher was seen invigilating with a gun.

Thuli Madonsela: where is the Gupta Waterkloof landing report? – The former public protector questions why successor Busisiwe Mkhwebane closed the Gupta landing probe that sent shock waves through SA

Posted on Leave a comment

The former and current public protectors continue to butt heads, this time over the Gupta family’s controversial aeroplane landing.

Former public protector Thuli Madonsela has continued to weigh in on the work of her successor, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, this time calling into question her office’s decision to close the investigation into the Gupta family’s hugely controversial 2013 aeroplane landing at Waterkloof Air Force Base, according to a report in Business Day.

Madonsela told the publication that the Waterkloof investigation had been completed and that all that remained was for Mkhwebane to issue a report.

The former public protector said she reached out to the office after Mkhwebane reportedly incorrectly claimed that there was no public protector investigation into the matter, adding that her office went on to then close the investigation.

The reasons for this, according to Madonsela, are a “mystery”.

Public Protecter wants clear Gordhan’s name after accusations that he was involved in so-called privatization of the SA Reserve Bank

Posted on Leave a comment

The Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, said she was only trying clear Minister Pravin Gordhan’s name to end a dispute.

Mkhwebane alleges that the minister interferes with her investigation after Gordhan putted his legal representative on her.

The investigation is being conducted following the so-called privatization of the SA Reserve Bank which the minister has been accused of.

Earlier, the Public Protecter extended the time to Gordhan to respond to allegations that he was involved in the matter, claiming that she had the opportunity to clear the minister’s name.

She told the media that the minister should rather be pleased that the matter was being brought to a conclusion, but then he started interfering in the investigation of a complaint that was being put to the EFF.

ANC governed Municipality that owes worker R100 Million faces Prosecution For Alleged Cheating With Employee Benefits

Posted on Leave a comment

Free State Kopanong Municipality (area of Edenburg and Trompsburg) owes its employees about R100 million in pension, medical aid and insurance policies.

In the midst of evident evidence, the Hawks Unit has stopped the investigation for unknown reasons.

The municipality is now facing prosecution for alleged cheating with the workers’ benefits, which will probably be held in the High Court.

The SA Municipal Workers Union, which started the case, says they believe the investigation has been stopped by the Hawks “to act outside political influences”.

However, a Hawk spokesman emerged and denied that the investigation had ceased and said the fraud case was still under investigation by Captain Makgetla.

However, observers are asking why the case is taking so long while all the necessary evidence is available at the municipal offices.
