Junk Status looms – Implementation of NHI will have disastrous consequences for SA economy

Posted on Leave a comment

AfriForum today sent a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni and Minister of Health Zweli Mkhize warning the civil rights organization that the implementation of national health insurance (NHI) could eventually lead to the downgrading of the country’s credit rating to junk status .

This comes after the credit rating agency Moody’s recently downgraded South Africa’s credit rating from a stable to a negative outlook. The reason for this downgrade according to Mood is the bleak growth prospects and growing public debt. In its letter, AfriForum argues that unaffordable, ideological policies such as the NHI will lead to South Africa being downgraded to junk status, as the country simply cannot fund it.

“To continue with the implementation of the NHI will not only be disastrous for the South African economy; it will also inflate government debt to levels that will make it impossible to escape the downgrade to

Is ‘snoobab’ the new k-word?

Posted on Leave a comment

The word spells baboons backwards and existed before it was allegedly used to refer to black pupils at Kingswood College.

A social media post shared by pupils of Kingswood College in Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown) has highlighted racial tensions at the exclusive private school, as well as introduced South Africans to a new racial slur.

“Snoobab”, which spells baboons backwards, was a term reportedly used by white pupils to refer to their black counterparts at the school, according to City Press.

An outcry on social media erupted after the two white girls at the school who accused each other of racism and xenophobia were found not guilty following a disciplinary process.

The process was conducted by a “highly qualified black woman”, who found that there “mutually destructive versions” of what happened “by both sides”, college head Colleen Vassiliou told City Press.

“This verdict, by someone of her expertise, canno

EFF says that Springbok rugby is a symbol of white supremacy against change

Posted on Leave a comment

Economic Freedom Fighters member of Parliament (MP) Mbuyiseni Ndlozi on Tuesday reiterated his scorn of the Springbok rugby team and said there would be no racial unity in South Africa until wealth was shared equally and land returned to those from whom it was taken.

Ndlozi, in a debate on a motion to congratulate the Springboks for winning the Rugby World Cup, said calls to rally behind the team was a form of collective abuse of black people, who were being asked to sanctify a sport and a symbol that remained redolent of white supremacy.

“Because the Springbok is a sign that cannot be whitewashed, it stands in parallel continuity with Die Stem entrenching white supremacy in our society. That is why the rugby team in question is white-dominated. It is a perfect reflection that white people have successfully resisted change in our society for 25 years,” he said.

He said the mass street celebrations that have met the returning rugby ch

Weapon manufacturer Denel has quietly acquired a contract worth R6.3 billion for the export of weaponry

Posted on Leave a comment

With the apparent initiative and guidance of the new chief of arms manufacturers, Denel, a contract has been entered into for the export of weaponry worth more than R6 billion.

A spokesman for the manufacturer confirmed that a contract had been obtained but that the broader details of it had not yet been disclosed.

The new contract worth R6.3 billion will be presented to Parliament during the coming week to approve the arms export.

The new technology that will be used in the weaponry is probably innovative, and can be attributed to the expertise of people who have proven their skills in arms manufacturing over the years.

South Africa’s army has run out of money – this is how much trouble it is in

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa’s National Defence Force (SANDF) is in a dire financial state, and with no promise of future funding, things may still get worse.

Answering in a recent parliamentary Q&A session minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, said that current plans to get the SANDF back on track are entirely dependent on its funding.

“The prevention of the SANDF capabilities from declining further is entirely dependent on the budget allocation of the Defence Force, which has been decreasing at an alarming rate over the years with a negative impact of the entire capabilities,” she said.

“The Defence Review 2015 has been developed with a plan to arrest the decline of the SANDF but unfortunately no funding has been received to attend to the declining capabilities of the SANDF.”

Mapisa-Nqakula added that the years-long decline of the SANDF meant that it was becoming increasingly difficult to protect the country.

Double Standards: The K-WORD is worse than blowing up whites with limpet mines – legal system is not there to protect whites

Posted on Leave a comment

Let’s spread as widely as possible and demand the arrest of the terrorist !!

It is clear that the legal system does not protect our whites. Poor Vicky Momberg is hunted like an animal for the K-word and was arrested again today for failing to comply with her parole conditions.

The EFF’s Secretary General Godrich Gardee, following Angus Buchan’s statement, said that only two peoples. the Jews and the Afrikaner people who made a covenant with God responded as follows:

“That stage needs some limpet mines bobytrapped arround it prior to that date…. & Let’s see what happens to the only people who have a covenant with God…. & I know this peasant religious fanatic is misrepresenting the Jewish nation… .he must be banned from our TV screens ”

If any white man made a similar threat, he was immediately arrested for terrorism.
How is it possible that the terrorist has not yet been charged?

ANC government focused on looting and not maintenance of infrastructure- over a period of 25 years they repeatedly showed that they are was unable to manage or govern

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC government’s focus so far has been mainly on the looting of the fiscus and not on the maintenance of the country’s infrastructure and other state assets.

Proper infrastructure is the lifeblood of the economy and ensures that residents have access to roads, bridges, schools, water and many other services. Without proper infrastructure maintenance, no country can survive economically. No international investor will come to invest money in South Africa while infrastructure is not being renovated and maintained

In South Africa, the onus is on the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure to do this maintenance. Not only is the department the custodian and manager of the state’s real estate assets, but also the creator and maintainer of South Africa’s infrastructure

However, this does not happen and just like the government, this department failed the people of South Africa. The focus was mainly on looting and the

Vicky Momberg, who uttered the K-word at a black police, again behind bars

Posted on Leave a comment

Vicky Momberg, described by the media as a racist, and searched by police for days, eventually surrendered to the police.

In doing so, the woman proved all guesses that she had left the country wrong, and also broke her bail conditions.

She told police she had followed the advice of her legal representatives, and only now reported under the bail conditions.

Momberg was found guilty of hate speech after repeatedly blackmailing the K-word after being robbed by other blacks by a black police officer and allegedly watching without fulfilling his duty as an officer.

She has been behind bars for two years now, and there is uncertainty as to whether she will be allowed to be released for good behavior earlier.

S&P Global, which downgraded SA to junk status, warns ANC government that it will not be easy to restore land

Posted on Leave a comment

The ratings agency S&P Global, which has legitimately downgraded the country to junk status, since 2017, has warned the ANC regime, saying the path of recovery is not reachable with the clap of fingers.

The agency also points out that the possibility of another downgrade in two weeks is not ruled out because of the dire position in which South Africa finds itself.

The Managing Director of S&P Global Sub-Saharan Africa, Konrad Reuss, was a guest speaker at the Consumer Goods Council Conference in Johannesburg, which was held at the same time as Ramaphosa’s conference where billions of Rand’s promises were made, the bulk of which were made usually does not become reality.

Reuss emphasized that the agency could further downgrade the country in November’s assessment, which would further hamper investors and investment.
