Syndicate, corrupt officials and even police officers work together in illegal land grabs

Posted on July 22, 2019 Leave a comment

Residents in the Lenasia neighborhood, previously an Indian neighborhood, are busy protesting. The protest stems from the growing number of squatters who set up their huts in the south of Lenasia.

They regard this illegal land occupation as a risk to their safety and that it affects the value of properties. The neighborhood is now almost surrounded by informal structures.

Service delivery is apparently influenced and illegal coupling of power and water causes further stress.

The police had to use rubber bullets to chase the stickers apart. The MEC of housing Lobogang Maile said in a statement that syndicates work with corrupt officials and even police officers who “help” squatters to occupy illegal land.

Naspers (Netwerk24 / News24) Profits From Our Misery – Hides Genocide Behind Pay Wall. How You Unknowingly Promote Their Sales and Propaganda, and Your Eradication

Posted on July 19, 2019 Leave a comment

NASPERS (Network24, News24) asked us to remove this post below. What is it that Netwerk24 wants to hide from poor people from SA, who cannot afford subscriptions to NASPERS or Medical Funds? Do NASPERS want poor people to be under the wrong impression that state hospitals are absolutely good, and when they arrive in an emergency, are they left for dead by negligence, which is not only deliberate, but also often racist? As many people are now discovering, mass media have long forgotten what real journalism is, and they rather just repeat the excuses of the authorities, rather than pointing out the reasons for the misery.

Cyril says he condemns farm murders just like other murders, but why doesn’t he take action?

Posted on July 19, 2019 Leave a comment

Cyril Ramaphosa responded to dr. Pieter Groenewald’s question to him in parliament by answering that he condemned farm murders just like the murder of any other South African, but believes that ethnicity must be overlooked because every life has equal value.

He points out that in November 2018, in response to a parliamentary question, he said that violent crime throughout South Africa is a matter of serious concern, regardless of where it is or who it affects. He cited the answer saying he had to condemn all murders in the country, including those on farmers and farm workers, and that the government was committed to doing everything possible to defend every citizen from all forms of violence, regardless of where they live or work.

Network 24 reports that Ramaphosa says the question indicates the distance that the nation still has to go after effective reconciliation and the recognition of the equal value of every life in the country.

BLF heads to court over IEC’s ‘unjust decision’ to de-register it as political party – believes that they have “strong prospects of success” on appeal

Posted on July 18, 2019 Leave a comment

BLF deputy president Zanele Lwana said in a statement on Wednesday that the IEC had made an “unjust decision”.

“This is a banning order against BLF.”

The IEC announced in a statement on Monday it was de-registering the BLF as a political party, after the FF+ appealed against the BLF’s registration because it excluded membership based on race.

The IEC defended its decision to approve the BLF’s registration in 2016, as it said the BLF’s constitution did not expressly exclude white people from membership.

But the IEC de-registered the party after its leader Andile Mngxitama admitted to the Electoral Court that it’s constitution excluded white people from joining based on their race.

Lwana believes the BLF has “strong prospects of success” on appeal.

“We believe the IEC was bullied by the racist FF+ into banning our movement. The FF+ is terrified of BLF because it knows that we will ensure that land exp

Continuous service protests by barbaric protesters in SA threaten people’s safety

Posted on July 18, 2019 Leave a comment

The incident near Uniondale in the Southern Cape where a farmer, according to media reports, shot at protesters who were reportedly participating in a violent protest action and blocking roads serves as proof that these service delivery protests can lead to the loss of life as members of the public may feel that their safety is being threatened.

The police are investigating a charge of attempted murder against the man, but one must ask to what degree his personal safety, the safety of his family and his property were under threat.

Every person in South Africa has the constitutional right to defend their personal safety as well the safety of their family and to prevent any damage to their property. Violent service delivery protests could compel other people to use violence in order to exercise this right of theirs.

The investigation into the matter must be conducted and finalised as soon as possible so as to determine whether the farmer acted in

SANDF cannot prevent illegal immigration due to lack of finance, nor is it trained to combat urban civilian violence on Cape Flats

Posted on July 18, 2019 Leave a comment

Head of the South African National Defense Force (SANDF), General Solly Shoke, as well as Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, admitted during the parliamentary session that SANDF has financial difficulties. It is also said that the deployment of the military to counter gang violence on the Cape Flats is not feasible because the army is not trained to combat urban civilian violence. SANDF troops have been in Cape Town for a week, but have not yet left the barracks because they are waiting for intelligence reports and still waiting on a withdrawal strategy.

EFF clash with FF+ after member calls Afrikaans a “disturbing” language and the language of the white oppressor

Posted on July 17, 2019 Leave a comment

Tempers flared during the arts and culture budget debate on Tuesday, just five days after the EFF caused some thoroughly unsavoury scenes in Parliament by confronting Pravin Gordhan. Thankfully, this latest altercation with the Freedom Front Plus (FF+) remains only a war of words – but civility is still lacking.

EFF label Afrikaans “disturbing”
As FF+ MP Heloise Jordan began speaking, she was interrupted several times by EFF representatives who objected to her use of Afrikaans. The disruption also came just a few days after the red berets’ Josephine Mokwele said that the language was a “disturbing” one, claiming she would “never respect it”

Afrikaans labelled a tool of “white supremacy” by EFF
The hostile tone continued when the parties came face-to-face with each other this week. Ringo Madlingozi, one of the party’s newly-elected members, raised the point that Afrikaans is “the language of the oppressor”. He also

Petrol Price expected to go up 7 cents for 95 octane and 4 cents for 93 grade

Posted on July 17, 2019 Leave a comment

The latest data from the Central Energy Fund (CEF) points to a flat month in August for petrol prices – though there may be good news for diesel drivers.

At mid-month, the group is showing a small increase in both grades of petrol for August, with pump prices expected to go up 7 cents per litre for 95 octane, and 4 cents per litre for 93 grade.

Diesel, however, is currently showing an over recovery of 20 cents per litre, which means at least some motorists may be paying less next month.

The flat rate in petrol prices is due a reversal in trends for both international petroleum prices and the rand/dollar exchange rate.

For the first two weeks in July, the rand has strengthened against the dollar, contributing to a 25-27 cents per litre drop in both the petrol and diesel prices.

This has been undercut by the movement in the international product prices – at least for petrol – which are contributing to a 30 to 33 cents per litre
