Pretoria’s homeless want keys to government building that has been unused for five years

Posted on Leave a comment

Pretoria’s homeless want keys to unused government building in Salvokop.  It makes no sense to sleep in the streets when government owns a brand new building that hasn’t been unused for years since it was built.

This sentiment was expressed by leaders of Pretoria homeless people who yesterday gathered outside the locked building in Salvokop.

They said it was about time the Department of Public Works and the City of Tshwane gave them keys to the building.

Frustrated and tired of sleeping in dilapidated CBD buildings and cold public parks, the group has been approaching various government departments to speak to executives, trying to get the keys to the building.

They said the building was built either in 2014 or 2015 when two homeless shelters for boys were demolished to erect the R1.4bn Stats SA headquarters, nearby.

A frustrated Richard Wildeman said: “We don’t care what the building still lacks, we’ll make it work

Rumor has it that 5 DA members only serve on the City Council of Pretoria because of their deceitfulness via nominations

Posted on Leave a comment

Of the 93 members of the DA who serve in the City Council of Pretoria, five members are apparently illegally on the board due to fraud with nominations.

The five members can be eliminated if the accusations are proved against them and they are found guilty.

The party’s federal law commission is apparently investigating the matter, and if it is found that the five members are not properly nominated, they will be considered illegal invaders.

John Moodey, a left-wing provincial leader confirmed that an investigation into the five people’s nominations was being made.

Political observers say it will be well monitored or the five members, when they may be proven guilty, will repay the substantial amounts they have received illegally.

Northern Cape Municipalities will cover the expenses to ferry 2000 people to inauguration of Cyril Ramaphosa

Posted on Leave a comment

Municipalities in the Northern Cape will be expected to cover the costs of bussing 2 000 people from the province to Pretoria for next week’s presidential inauguration.

This is according to AfriForum Northern Cape who handed over a ‘Stop the Bus’ petition to the provincial Department of Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta).

The petition calls on the department to refuse the presidential request that municipalities carry the cost of bussing thousands of people to Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria for the presidential inauguration next week.

The petition was handed over by the AfriForum co-ordinator in the Northern Cape, Lize-Marie Smit, to Coghsta head of department Bafedile Lenkoe on Wednesday.

Smit said that the petition stemmed from a request by the Presidency that municipalities from each province in the country carry the cost of bussing people to Loftus Versfeld for the presidential inau

DA in bed with EFF – rumours are going around that the parties are in negotiations about installing a red beret as mayor in Tshwane

Posted on Leave a comment

EFF leader Julius Malema said on Thursday that his party was in negotiations with the DA to formally partner in governing Tshwane and Johannesburg.

Addressing a media conference at the party’s head office in Johannesburg, Malema said his party wanted to take over the Tshwane mayorship.

He said the party would also join government in the city of Johannesburg as members of the mayoral committee (MMCs).

“This is a power-sharing … We have already started talking to the DA. We are sharing power in Joburg, we are sharing power in Tshwane,” said Malema.

From the EFF’s own performance in the recent elections, to Cyril Ramaphosa’s ANC conundrum and the rise of the FF+ – these are the highlights from the EFF’s media conference on May 16 2019.

He said the EFF would not be calling for a motion of no confidence in current mayor Stevens Mokgalapa of the DA, but would like to take over in a manner t

City Council of Pretoria will replace 13,000 prepaid power meters in the next 4 months after it has been found that PEU Capital Partners’ meters are not valid

Posted on Leave a comment

The city council of Pretoria wants to replace 13,000 controversial electric meters, and for that they apparently have only four months to do.

The 13,000 prepaid meters have to be replaced by a court decision since the council has entered into an invalid contract and the so called meter is also believed to be illegal devices.

Many workers now have to move through certain areas’ as well as building buildings to find out if the meters in the buildings are legal, as the PEU Capital Partners meters are not valid.

This means that the multi-billion daily payments made by the city to PEU in terms of the contract which are considered unfordable, will also come to an end.

There is uncertainty that is responsible for the cost of replacing the meters, and whether it is the innocent consumer who has to pay for it.

Breaking News: Pretoria train crash – Fingers pointed at ANC “negligence” for deadly collision

Posted on Leave a comment

After four people were killed in the Pretoria train crash, the DA have wasted no time in finding a source of blame for the horrific accident.

Four people have been killed and more than 200 people were injured following the Pretoria train crash on Tuesday morning. A head-on collision saw both trains derail, causing carnage on the tracks. The DA have already called for an inquiry, and believe the blame lies with their political opponents in government.

Pretoria train crash latest: Who’s to blame?

John Moodey is the Gauteng spokesperson on public transport for the DA. He has demonstrated no hesitation in tying the incident to ANC policy, saying that they are failing to take passenger safety seriously.

The DA representative recalled two major incidents from 2018, where separate smashes at Eloff Extension in Selby and Kempton Park left hundreds of travellers injured. As there were no fatalities, Moodey believes the ANC were happy to just mov
