Countdown to land grab: SA farmers under siege – Radical left-wing and anti-white ANC-government is intent on confiscating land belonging to white farmers — without compensation.

Posted on Leave a comment

The process of state-sanctioned land grab was given further momentum when another parliamentary motion was passed on Thursday.

This week saw another vote in the ANC-dominated parliament in favour of changing the South African constitution to allow for expropriation of property without compensation. On Thursday a motion to establish an ad hoc committee to draft an amendment of Section 25 of the Constitution, protecting property rights, was passed with 189 votes to 67, without any abstentions.

A broad coalition of anti-white parties, including the ANC, EFF and NFP voted for the motion, while those in opposition such as the DA, IFP, FF Plus and ACDP voted against.

The ANC’s chief whip, Pemmy Majodina, introduced the motion which stated that the fifth paliament had already adopted a report by the constitutional review committee (CRC) recommending the Constitution should be amended so section 25 “makes explicit that which is implicit in

If expropriation without compensation wasn’t enough, now ANC regime plans new land tax for SA farmers as well

Posted on Leave a comment

A series of proposals such as the possibility of a land tax for farmers and limits on ownership and constitutional amendment were tabled on Sunday by the president’s task force on land reform.

Minister of Agriculture, Land Affairs and Rural Development, Thoko Didiza released the report on Sunday, but without much emphasis on the objections and suggestions by Dan Kriek, president of Agri SA, and mega-farmer Nick Serfontein.

Netwerk 24 reported earlier that the report proposes a constitutional amendment to allow expropriation without compensation under certain circumstances and with strict conditions.

The panel refers to those conditions contained in the Expropriation Bill. These are cases where tenants stay on the ground, where land is kept for speculative purposes only, state-owned land, where the landlord has abandoned the land or where government subsidies to the owner were more than the current market value.

Government employees face 10% salary cut to fund crippling Eskom since National Treasury’s box is empty

Posted on Leave a comment

National Treasury director-general Dondo Mogajane has said that the best way to fund the bailout of failing state-owned enterprises could be to cut the salaries of all government employees by 10%, according to a report in the City Press.

The government has to find a way to close a R120-billion hole in its budget, which is the result of acceding to a R59-billion bailout for Eskom as well as a shortfall in tax revenue for the fiscal year ended March 2020.

“National Treasury’s box is empty,” Mogajane said to the City Press.

“Growth is not coming through and tax revenues are not there. We are in trouble. The government needs to reduce spending.”

“If we are going to be serious – without people losing their jobs – let us reduce the salaries and stop the bonuses,” Mogajane said.

In response to this plan, unions said that they would not accept the revocation of bonuses and salary cuts for their workers.

Cash strapped Denel asks ANC regime for cash injection of R2.8 billion to pay employees salaries and remuneration

Posted on Leave a comment

Weapon manufacturer Denel is one of several state-owned enterprises (SOEs) found amid allegations of corruption and statecapture. The entity finds itself in a deep financial crisis and was forced to ask government for a R2.8 billion bailout to pay suppliers and outstanding salaries.

Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan announced that the company, with the help of a lender, made it possible to pay salaries for the month of June. Meanwhile, it has come to light that although staff salaries have been paid, no pension contributions where paid. Unconfirmed reports say Denel will again struggle in late July to compensate his staff.

Denel CEO Danie du Toit indicated stated that Denel is in negotiating with the banks to obtain bridging finance and has apologized for the tension and anxiety it causes among staff and their families. Since Denel failed to pay its employees ‘salaries in full, staff have been showing a negative attitude towards the comp

SA Lipton Tea Plantation Seized Then Destroyed by Incompetent Blacks – This is not the first such “land restitution” program to have collapsed under the ANC’s rule; more is yet to come

Posted on Leave a comment

The decision of the ANC government to continue to amend legislation on section 25 of the Constitution – which deals with expropriation without compensation – is short-sighted.

According to Vryburger, a motion on the ad hoc committee to review and implement the amendments to the legislation has been approved by the National Assembly today. The committee will continue where the fifth parliament ceased in December 2018, and should report back to the National Assembly by the end of March 2020.

Mr. Louis Meintjes, the president of TAU SA, says: “Expropriation without compensation will not produce any good results,” says. “Research shows that most applicants do not have the knowledge or ability to sustainable manage land that is now profitable for the rural and national economy, and rather prefer to be financially compensated than to be saddled with land. He argues that the past has already proved that most of the land previousl

SA prepares itself for ‘President Mabuza’ – Ramaphosa’s position under threat following report from the public protector

Posted on Leave a comment

Following the release of Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s report finding that President Cyril Ramaphosa was guilty of violating the constitution and misleading parliament relating to donations made by Bosasa’s Gavin Watson to his CR17 campaign for the ANC presidency, it makes sense that South Africans would question his future as our president.

This has led to the conclusion by many on Twitter that we should start preparing for the inauguration of a person one user described as the “president in waiting” – current vice president David “DD” Mabuza, sometimes referred to by his nickname, “the cat”.

Mabuza’s status as deputy president came into question earlier this year, when he delayed his swearing-in, saying he wanted to first deal with a report that found him to have brought the ANC into disrepute.

The report, which identified Mabuza among 22 allegedly problematic candidates, led to “the cat” meeting with the ANC’

Over 250,000 Undocumented Pupils In Gauteng Schools – most of them migrants from neighbouring countries

Posted on Leave a comment

JOHANNESBURG – Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi on Wednesday said provincial schools were catering for more than 250,000 undocumented pupils.

Lesufi made the comment as he delivered his submissions before the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) inquiry looking into service delivery problems in Alexandra.

The hearing was launched following protests over a lack of services in the township.

The investigation was testing a range of matters including the root causes of the Alex shut down earlier this year and possible maladministration in the controversial multimillion-rand Alex Renewal Project.

In his oral submission, Lesufi revealed how the admissions of non-documented learners affected his department’s budget.

“It’s R18,000 per learner, that is the amount that we spend. So, if you check 250,000 [learners] and times that by R18,000, that is the amount of money that we are losing,” he said.

Communities outside Krugersdorp are held hostage by riotous protesters trying to force the ANC with violent actions to meet their election promises

Posted on Leave a comment

For months now, the Hekpoort/Magaliesburg area has been troubled by the actions of riotous people who block roads, destroy infrastructure, burn down pasture for animals and even torch private vehicles and trucks. All because they were promised land and houses, but it did not happen.

The destruction in Hekpoort, the valleyed agricultural community that borders on the well-known Cradle of Humankind heritage area, is a direct consequence of the opportunist pre-election promises that the ANC made to residents but did not keep.

Protesters are preventing people from travelling to their farms and businesses and motorists often have to take detours just to reach their destinations.

Expropriation without compensation is officially back on Parliament’s agenda : We are hungry, we want our land back’

Posted on Leave a comment

Amending Section 25 of the Constitution is officially before Parliament again after the National Assembly passed a motion on Thursday to establish an ad hoc committee to draft an amendment to allow expropriation without compensation.

In the debate on the motion, the old fault lines between parties who supported amending the Constitution and those who did not, have emerged yet again. The DA, IFP, FF Plus and ACDP opposed the motion.

ANC chief whip Pemmy Majodina brought the motion, which noted the fifth Parliament adopted a report by the constitutional review committee (CRC) recommending the Constitution should be amended so section 25 makes “explicit that which is implicit in the Constitution, with regards to expropriation of land without compensation, as a legitimate option for land reform, so as to address the historic wrongs caused by the arbitrary dispossession of land, and in so doing ensure equitable access to land and further empower the m

Well-known SA businessman says land is on the verge of abyss with the possibility of David Mabuza as the next president of the country

Posted on Leave a comment

Johann Rupert is quoted in a book written by Pieter du Toit, the Stellenbosch Mafia, and says that SA is on the verge of an abyss, with the particular possibility that David Mabuza could become the next president of the country.

Rupert apparently lost his faith in the ANC-regime despite his close ties with Mandela, Mbeki and Ramaphosa in the late nineties.

His children have already left the country because of the dangerous situation in SA and the personal attacks on him and his family. He further claims that his phone is being “tapped” and claims that there will be riots in the country if Ramaphosa does not restructure the country’s economy.

However, Rupert no longer has confidence in Ramaphosa to get the country right.
