Future of SA is bleak after ANC-regime ruled a once model state into junk status and sh*thole

Posted on Leave a comment

It is clear that South Africa has become so fragile in the financial field that overall poverty, with the exception of a few wealthy people, will lead to the necessary change in governments.

Who will be the new rulers is currently a widely debated topic, but there is also the feeling that the ANC will remain in control at the national level.

The official opposition parties may form a government as a coalition, but in Africa it does not work, and such a merger will only provide temporary solutions.

However, it will not provide solutions that will bring South Africa back on the road to success, as none of the smaller parties has the strong leaders to protect the country from corruption, money laundering, murder, and dozens of other problems.

Whoever takes over from the ANC will do nothing better than today’s weak rulers.

The possibility of a homeland for the Boer-Afrikaner is the only way to set up a good government that will,

SAA’s wings cut – bankrupt SOE can only pay salaries in January

Posted on Leave a comment

The bankrupt, state-owned SAA airline company will manage to pay its staff salaries for January, but that’s where it all ends.

With a bankrupt government failing to fulfill its pledge to pump another R2bn into the soe, it looks as if SAL will not remain standing.

The airfreight company faces three serious problems, and the solutions to this are vague and unclear, as different measures could not create a better situation.

The SAA needs at least R2bn to get its planes up, but with the many cancellations it has had to announce, its passengers are becoming less and less and profitability is becoming almost impossible.

The government’s inability to borrow R2 billion from any banker in the country has failed, which is now seen as a vote of no confidence in the financial approaches the regime is following.

It can inflict a final blow.

The large number of workers who should never have been hired is another reason why the

Only 15% of CEOs are still positive about SA’s economic outlook

Posted on Leave a comment

This is a slim 15% of CEOs who still have a positive outlook on the South African economy’s outlook.

They are still very confident and confident about what their companies’ return will be in the coming financial year.

However, the growth rate that has almost reached zero point speaks to a different view, in which more than 80% of business leaders are deeply concerned about the state of affairs.

Growing pessimism, even among those who normally remain positive, is now noticeable, and many believe their well-built businesses are no longer as secure as they were a few years ago.

A company that gives advice to businesses and their CEOs says the number of organizations that still have confidence is diminishing each month, while companies are experiencing almost daily decline in turnover.

Are the nails in the coffin for controversial Public Protector?

Posted on Leave a comment

The controversial Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, appears to have counted the days when considering the reaction of certain members of parliament after the matter of her eligibility as OB was tabled.

The National Assembly’s speaker, Thandi Modise, approved that Parliament follow the procedures that could lead to the OB’s dismissal.

Busisiwe Mkhwebane is probably the most important reason why the parliament in 2019 laid down rules to be followed when removing the OB from office.

The process is apparently underway, and opposition parties, excluding the Red Brigade, are expected to strongly demand that she be removed from her post, especially in light of the numerous court cases she lost due to incorrect information being investigated reports were recorded.

Calls for Death to Americans at US Embassy in South Africa – SACP chant ‘One American, one bullet’ outside US embassy in Pretoria

Posted on Leave a comment

A threat of “one bullet, one American” was chanted outside the US embassy in Pretoria on Thursday, where hundreds of protesters gathered to protest against the US foreign policy in the Middle East.

“The Americans are the biggest terrorists in the world. They are responsible for terrorism in Cuba, Venezuela and many other countries in South America. Now they have decided the Middle East is their base. Our message is that there is no home for you, otherwise you will go home in chests. Soon you will hear the slogan ‘one bullet, one American’, “said Shuaib Booley, chairman of the Ahlul Bayt Islamic Council of South Africa, with loud cheers from the crowd.

Booley led the crowd in cries of “Allahu akbar” (God is great) while embassy workers watched the demonstration from a distance. Officials later stopped Booley before he could enter the building as part of a delegation that would hand over a memorandum.

De Ruyter has an impossible task of saving bankrupt Eskom

Posted on Leave a comment

The fact that Eskom is in a bad position is common knowledge, and this news are reaching investors abroad. The dire condition of SA’s economy makes investors hesitant to invest in the country since they will be risking their money in the maze.

After the ANC regime finally realized, after 25 years of mismanagement, that they needed to find a competent person to get rid of the mess, Andre de Ruyter was appointed to the unenviable position.

His statements about Eskom are by no means flattering, and how such an enormous debt burden will be worked out, providing constant, sustainable power to the whole country, was asked too much from one person.

His meeting with the Eskom directors on Wednesday is likely to deal with the many “unplanned maintenance” that needs to be done, and clearly shows that regular checking of equipment is not done.

This is one of the main reasons why Eskom cannot provide sustainable power supplies, and expe

Stellenbosch University is being accused as a racist institution after previously disadvantaged groups are flaunting allegations left and right

Posted on Leave a comment

Students are once again obsessed with the so-called racism used by whites and complain about things that have nothing to do with racism, says an educator who wants to remain anonymous.

One white man speaks to other whites on campus, ignoring the other coloured people who join it, and it is now called racism, it is said.

The whites also do not share their knowledge of a particular subject’s content with other students, except with their friends who are also whites.

One student complains that her roommate, who is white, does not speak to her father because she is black, and considers it a serious offense of racism.

Educators believe the complaints of other coloreds are considered to be those of people with an inferiority complex and should seek the fault within themselves. After all, it is logical for people to be more positive towards their own friends than to strangers.

Bankrupt power supplier is struggling to maintain electricity grid and diesel generator units are used to prevent #rollingblackouts

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom has now gone so far as to use its emergency reserves in an effort to evade load shedding.

The diesel generator units have been used to prevent the burning of candles, but the diesel fuel bill is already more than 50% over the entity’s allowable diesel consumption according to its budget.

Workers claim they worked hard on Wednesday night to pump water so the entity on Thursday could avoid shedding.

Observers believe these are probably the first signs of a new breeze blowing through Eskom, as no one has taken much responsibility to date on whether to light the candles and when it’s going to change.

Last year’s load shedding cost Amcor about R740m, directly affecting the net profit to be shown at the end of a financial year.

ANC regime has driven SA into bankruptcy over a 25-year period

Posted on Leave a comment

The extremely dire situation in which South Africa finds itself has raised the question of whether it is not yet time to make a survey of everything that has been destroyed in 25 years.

A political analyst points out that the first red light came on when municipalities across the country, all of which had cash stashed  up over years, suddenly turned red in the face of bankers.

Today, there is probably not one municipality that is either totally bankrupt, or hesitates on the brink of bankruptcy.

The debt burden of billions of rand in municipal structures is one of the surest ways that South Africa will look just like Zimbabwe in the foreseeable future – tar roads become dust roads, light fires sometimes, and businesses close their doors, one sooner than the other.

The government is in the same position – the latest shock is that the government has failed to raise R2bn so that the bankrupt SAA can resume its flights.

Why do people vote for same leaders who don’t deliver services?

Posted on Leave a comment

Service delivery protests in South Africa are continuing as different municipalities fail to deliver their mandate of providing basic services to their communities.

The Maluti-A-Phofung municipality in Free State has not supplied water to Qwaqwa since last year December and tensions flared up when a young girl drowned while trying to collect water from a nearby river.

Communities such as as the Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality in the Chris Hani District of the Eastern Cape have also experienced a billing crisis which has not been solved in years.

With all these service delivery problems, Bongani Bingwa questions why many people in these communities continue to vote for the same leaders that do not deliver services.

He chats to North-West University public policy lecturer and Thabo Mbeki School of Leadership visiting lecturer TK Pooe to unpack this matter.

I always say this, in public policy ours is not to tell people who to vote fo
