SA trapped in web of violence – 55 Murders a day, increasing rape while hijackings and robberies are the norm today – Will capital punishment really be the solution to violent crime?

Posted on Leave a comment

Violence in South Africa has increased to such an extent that citizens across the country are pleading with the communist-minded ANC government to bring back the death penalty.

The spate of rapes occurring across the country has caused women and even members of parliament to ask that the death penalty should be reinstated so that the culprits will get the punishment that they deserve for such hideous crimes.

However, the ANC’s Minister of Correctional Services is not so keen to take the step, and several Afrikaner folks believe this is not a solution to the problem.

The country is experiencing more than 55 murders a day, and rapes that are rising at an unprecedented rate, while hijackings and armed robberies have become commonplace.

Teacher involved in the kidnapping of 6-year-old Amy-Leigh

Posted on Leave a comment

A fifty-year-old man and two women described by police as the protagonists in Monday’s kidnapping drama of 6-year-old Amy-Leigh de Jager were arrested at their homes in Vanderbijlpark on Wednesday, September 4, around midnight.

Amy-Leigh was grabbed from school by her mother, Angeline, just after 7:15 a.m. Monday morning, and kidnapped by four men in a Toyota Fortuner with darkened panes. She was found crying along the road at the Shakespeare Inn in Faraday Boulevard, Vanderbijlpark, on Tuesday, September 3, by a man and a woman.

A teacher at College Park Primary School in Vanderbijlpark is reportedly one of three suspects arrested in connection with the kidnapping of Amy.

Police did not want to respond to allegations by Wednesday afternoon that the elementary school teacher – who is believed to be a good friend of the family – was involved in the kidnapping.

This despite the fact that the College Park Primary School co

Gwede Manthase became the laughingstock at a conference in Australia by making scandalous mistake in delivering a April’s joke as part of his speech

Posted on Leave a comment

The Minister of Mineral Resources, Gwede Mantashe, became the laughingstock of the world with his speech at a conference in Australia.

The speech written by someone then made the outrageous mistake of inserting an April joke as part of the speech, which indicates that South Africa had discovered a new mineral, and he couldn’t boast enough about this new wonderful discovery.

The April joke also states that the new mineral has been discovered in the Western Cape, and the minister says the mineral is essential for the production of battery storage technology.

The nonsensical joke proclaimed to be the truth made listeners in the conference wonder if the speaker was going senile, as it had nothing to do with the actual topic of the conference.

The information originally came from an April joke that was handled by an extremely ignorant speech author, and an ignorant minister in a laughable way.

The SABC wants to increase your TV licence fees- But who are actually still paying for this service that only caters for a certain group of people?

Posted on Leave a comment

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) is looking at increasing its TV licence fees as the embattled state broadcaster continues to face financial challenges.

In a parliamentary presentation on 28 August, the SABC said that it has drafted and sent a proposal to increases TV licences fees to communications minister, Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams.

However, SABC board chairperson, Bonamisa Makhatini, has made it clear that this increase may not be enough to cover the broadcaster’s many expenses.

“There had been eight increases in 24 years,” he said. “If the fee were to be increased, it had to be considered what was affordable. Content had to be attractive and compelling.”

One of the key problems with raising TV licences is the issue of compliance with the broadcaster reporting a compliance level of just 27.8% in October last year.

Citing the latest data from Stats SA, Makhatini said that there are 9.6 million TV licence

Regiments Capital used to plunder the Transnet pension fund – R349m ‘stolen’ from pensioners in four days

Posted on Leave a comment

After allegations emerged in court of yet another scam that Regiments Capital used to plunder a Transnet pension fund, Regiments directors quickly agreed to pay half a billion rand to settle all the fund’s claims against it. But Eric Wood, a former director, has gone to court to quash the deal, claiming his former colleagues are using the company’s money to save themselves, leaving him to face the music.

Regiments Capital has agreed to an astounding R500 million settlement with the Transnet Second Defined Benefit Fund (TSDBF).

Regiments is a financial services company that scored hundreds of millions of rands in business from Transnet with a leg-up from the Guptas and their associates.

The settlement follows the revelation of a previously unknown stratagem Regiments allegedly used to suck R349 million from the pension fund in a mere four days during late 2015 and early 2016.

TSDBF launched a R230 million claim against Regiments in the

Thank you SA for voting ANC – SA is broke thanks to the thieving done by ANC cadres in government

Posted on Leave a comment

It’s official: the South African state is bankrupt. President Cyril Ramaphosa confirmed it three weeks ago when he responded to questions in parliament.

Ramaphosa’s exact words were: “Our resources are now depleted.”

In simple terms, this means the government has run out of money.

In a normal country, such a statement by the head of state would have, at best, made national headlines. That it went unnoticed reveals a great deal about our journalists’ obsession with the fluff that constitutes the vacuity of our daily politics.

If you want to understand what it means for a state to run out of money, look at South African Express. It has grounded its planes. Last week, it told MPs it is struggling to pay salaries.

SA Express is not unique. Employees at Denel are not sure for how long their salaries will be paid. Eskom pays salaries from debt. It needs about R70bn for operations and debts. But its revenue i

ANC regime’s promise to stop transit robberies yields no visible results – SA roads plunged into chaos with ongoing transit robberies, numerous busy routes closed for hours

Posted on Leave a comment

The N2 at Cape Town was the scene of a transit robbery during the late-night hours of Monday and caused the N2 to close as a crime scene.

Motorists had to use alternative routes to reach workplaces as the route was closed for hours.

In Bloemfontein, a G4S transit wagon was blown up in an explosion when more than 12 attackers led the wagon into a trap. An unknown amount was robbed while two guards were wounded. Some of the attackers fired on a police helicopter that arrived at the scene.

The government’s promise that the robberies will be halted has not produced any visible results to date.

Theft of famous Pierneef painting was allegedly committed to destroy the valuables of the Afrikaner culture

Posted on Leave a comment

Last year, it became known that the ANC secretary general, Ace Magashule, was directly involved in the theft of a famous Pierneef painting.

The Hawks apparently completed their investigation into the alleged incident involving the painting worth more than R8 million.

The matter is apparently now in the hands of the National Prosecuting Authority which must decide whether prosecution will be instituted.

In October last year, one Maverick raised alarm that Magashule is directly involved in the disappearance of the painting.

Informed sources claim that the painting was believed to be sold in Britain as part of the destruction of precious Afrikaner cultural heritage.

Parliament’s porch talks lead to country’s downfall – SA needs action now to stop crime and not empty promises and threats

Posted on Leave a comment

The parliamentarians’ babble in parliament is to get sick, especially if, after a serious series of incidents, they suddenly think something needs to be done.

This is the opinion of a political analyst following the series of rapes that took place on several campuses across South Africa.

He says every member of parliament wants to talk about the matter, utter a lot of threats, thinks it’s time to act against the crime, and everything stops.

He says the MPs think if they cleaned up the rape case and said enough about the issue under discussion, then the case was won, and no rape will ever happen again.

Over the past week, dozens of rapes have been reported on campuses that leave the women students terrified while none of the criminals have been arrested.

It is precisely this behavior and condition that is frightening, and the speech in parliament, without approving legislation and measures, is the downfall of the country

Rising anti-mass immigration violence in Gauteng calls on political leaders to ask for military assistance to bring violence under-control – They speak out against attacks on foreigners but remain silent on farm murders

Posted on Leave a comment

Gauteng political leaders are considering calling on the military to stop vandalism and looting in the province.

According to Gauteng Prime Minister David Makhura, criminal elements are responsible for looting shops and have been warned that the military may be called in to address the problem.

This follows after Ramaphosa requested police to bring the gunmen under control. He spoke out against attacks on foreigners but remained silent, among other things, on the farm murders.

The looters have already plundered, or burned down, many stores of foreigners in Pretoria and Johannesburg, and even children have stolen the stores without anyone being prosecuted.

The weak Rand makes investors move away from the currency, now rely on gold instead

Posted on Leave a comment

The rising gold price, the weak Rand that just can’t lift its head, coupled with the uncertainty over the country’s economic situation, has moved investors away from the money unit.

Currently, Investgold is selling up to 5,000 gold coins per week, which is a strong indication that confidence in the Ramaphosa regime is continuing to decline.

Gold mining companies have also begun to focus on the trend of a gradual upturn in the price of precious metal, which has now reached its high price over the past five years.

The Rand, which is also showing its worst against the dollar since 2016, has forced investors to play safe and trust gold instead.

In November last year, the gold price was still at $ 1,150 an ounce, but is currently at $ 1,526, which is the highest for the past decade.
