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’

WATCH | FF Plus lashes out at ANC president: ‘Why won’t you ‘publicly condemn’ farm murders’

Posted on Leave a comment

The time has come for President Cyril Ramaphosa to stop denying that there are pressing problems in our country, like farm murders, and for him to admit that Affirmative Action (AA) and Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) have failed. These were the matters that the FF Plus emphasised in the party’s reply to President Ramaphosa’s recent State of the Nation Address (SONA). Just before the recent elections, the President said that he wants to tie young white people to a tree to prevent them from leaving the country. The truth, however, is that they are leaving their country due to AA.

The FF Plus has declared many times over that the party and its supporters are committed to help build South Africa. The laws that put policies, like AA and BEE, into execution prevent white people and other minorities from getting jobs. In addition to that, crime is the reason why experts, like 110 engineers skilled in the construction industry, are leaving the country.

The time is nearing where ANC-government can now take your land if they want it! – SA president, Ramaphosa receives report on land expropriation without compensation from advisory panel

Posted on Leave a comment

The report of the Advisory Panel on Land Reform and Agriculture will be tabled to Cabinet before being released publicly.

President Cyril Ramaphosa and Deputy President David Mabuza on Tuesday received the report of the Presidential Advisory Panel on Land Reform and Agriculture.

The task of the panel, which was appointed in September 2018 to support the work of the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on land reform chaired by the deputy president, was to advise it on a broad range of policy matters, including restitution, redistribution, tenure security and agricultural support.

It was mandated to review, research and suggest models for the government to implement a fair and equitable land reform process that redresses the injustices of the past, increases agricultural output, promotes economic growth and protects food security.

Flurry of ANC MP resignations spurred on by substantial pension benefits – It’s a case of ‘getting out while the going is still good’

Posted on Leave a comment

The ruling African National Congress (ANC) has been hit with a flurry of parliamentary resignations, with nine members officially exiting the National Assembly.

In the wake of a particularly grim electoral showing, President Cyril Ramaphosa has been left to confront an arduous task – that of reunifying the deeply divided ANC, while producing positive results on his pre-election promises.

Nine ANC MP’s call it a day
The factional battle raging fiercely within the belly of the ANC is, according to analysts, the greatest threat to Ramaphosa’s political aspirations. Indeed, the insecure power balance – hung on the scales of unshakable loyalty – has already proven especially detrimental to Ramaohosa’s campaign of renewal.

While the recent flurry of resignations may, at first glance, signal a sincere attempt at cleaning house – with some persuasion from the ANC’s Integrity Committee – the truth of the exodus may be far simpler.

Can you believe this, the SAA requests R4bn government bailout, their ‘wings’ needs to be clipped NOW

Posted on Leave a comment

JOHANNESBURG – South African Airways (SAA) appointed its head of operations as acting chief executive on Friday and said it needs R4-billion from the government to survive the current financial year and allow it to renegotiate loan terms with banks.

Zukisa Ramasia becomes interim CEO after Vuyani Jarana unexpectedly resigned on Sunday, after less than two years in the job, saying his turnaround strategy for the loss-making airline was being undermined by a lack of state funding and too much bureaucracy.

SAA has not made a profit since 2011 and Jacana launched a five-year turnaround plan that includes slashing costs and cancelling unprofitable routes, requiring around R21.7-billion in cash injections from the government.

“We are currently operating at a loss and that is the background to the request we’ve made for R4-billion of support for the current financial year,” board member Martin Kingston told a news briefing.

TAU SA not impressed with Ramaphosa’s plea to white youths to stay in the country – he only delivers talks adapted to the audience he is talking to

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA’s Young Farmers call on the President to obey the concerns and fears that white young people have over South Africa.

TAU SA is not at all impressed with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s plea to white people to stay in the country. So far, he has been delivering only electoral talks that are constantly adapted depending on the audience he is talking to.

Pres Ramaphosa – as part of his pre-election campaign – called for young, white South Africans not to leave the country. He said he wanted the group, with their skills in the country.

“We hope these words are not just empty election promises,” said Mr Ferdie Landman, chairman of TAU SA Young Farmers. “We also want to make it clear that, as white young people, we feel unwelcome and unsafe in the country.

“There are several things that worry us and make greener pastures considered outside the country,” he explains.

TAU SA has compiled

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Delayed Train Ride on Monday Depicts What Exactly is Wrong With The Railway System And The Governing Party

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africans had a good laugh when the president was stuck with commuters on Monday. However, he should experience life across the board on the same level than the rest of South Africa, including living under a corruption government….

Ramaphosa had a meeting with Nzimande in Cape Town on Tuesday “following his first-hand experience of the difficulties regularly experienced by commuters” when the president was stuck on a Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) train from Mabopane to the Tshwane CBD on Monday. 

Among the challenges raised at Ramaphosa’s meeting with Nzimande was the deterioration of infrastructure and unacceptable delays of train services, which often result in commuters arriving late for work, school a

SARB Changes from Sacrosanct to Nationalization – Ramaphosa is Misleading the Country with a Double-Edged Tongue

Posted on Leave a comment

“The president told the World Economic Forum in Davos that the bank would remain independent and that there’s not nationalisation on the cards, now he’s saying something different. This is very bad for investment. People won’t invest in a country where the president speaks with a false tongue.”

President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered a major blow to the rand this week after making it explicitly clear that the ANC, and thus government, will move ahead with its goal to nationalise the South African Reserve Bank.

This change of heart which speaks of lies, corruption and hidden agendas is standing in stark contrast to the message he delivered to investors at the World Economic Forum in Davos in the beginning of the year, where he said that the South African Reserve Bank’s independence was sacrosanct.

Research analyst at Nomura, Peter Attard Montalto says that markets are not taking the threat to the South African Reserve Bank’s i

The National Health Insurance Act which will soon be put proposed, to provide free health care to everyone, regardless of where they are calling for medical care, will lead to chaos in private hospitals and may finally break the country’s economy

Posted on Leave a comment

According to President Cyril Ramaphosa, it is clear that the country’s health care is in crisis and needs rehabilitation.

More than 75% of state hospitals budget goes for salaries that are severely affected by patients who are not receiving proper treatment due to a money shortage.

According to Ramaphosa, the National Health Insurance Act will soon be tabled, which will provide free health care to all regardless of where they call for medical care.

Experts point out that Zuma’s “free education” has plunged the country’s universities into chaos, and now its successor comes and wants to get the country’s total health care messed up.

The result of the policy will lead to chaos in private hospitals and may finally break the country’s economy.

Ramaphosa creates the impression that racism is only a white problem

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s reaction on Radio 702 when asked about the hate speech of BLF leader, Andile Mngxitama, is disappointing as he shifted the focus to white people as if to imply that racism is mainly a white problem.

According to media reports, President Ramaphosa implied that racism is not common among black people and that Mngxitama is probably just “a lone voice out there in the wilderness”.

President Ramaphosa also added that “we cannot, through the hatred of some white people then begin to define the whole white community as haters of black people”. And: we must say that those who hate black people and those who are racist must be isolated. We must teach them the best ways to be a nation.

The President’s play on words creates the impression that South Africa’s real problem lies with white people, while in reality, the problem under discussion is Mngxitama’s hateful statements. This also echoes the statements made b
