South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land - Part 9


Before continuing with the story PART 9, it is important to share the following information :
Thanks to Edward Snowden the whole world knows what’s been happening at the National Security Agency (NSA) in America. The interception and the targeting of organisations and individuals etc.

In February 2014, The Intercept and NBC News released several GCHQ documents detailing the agency’s propaganda and deception tactics.
GCHQ


"The Doughnut", the headquarters of the GCHQ.
The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) is a British intelligence agency responsible for providing signals intelligence (SIGINT) and information assurance to the British government and armed forces. Based in "The Doughnut", in the suburbs of Cheltenham, it operates under the formal direction of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) alongside the Security Service (MI5), the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and Defense Intelligence (DI). GCHQ is the responsibility of the UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, but it is not a part of the Foreign Office and its Director ranks as a Permanent Secretary.
GCHQ was originally established after the First World War as the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) and was known under that name until 1946. During the Second World War, it was located at Bletchley Park, where it was famed for its role in the breaking of the German Enigma codes. Currently there are two main components of the GCHQ, the Composite Signals Organization (CSO), which is responsible for gathering information, and the CESG, which is responsible for securing the UK's own communications. The Joint Technical Language Service (JTLS) is a small department and cross-government resource responsible for mainly technical language support and translation and interpreting services across government departments. It is co-located with GCHQ for administrative purposes.

The following is fascinating to note from these published documents.

The first document deals with the covert tactics to discredit a target, which are as follows:
• Set up a honey-trap
• Change their photos on social networking sites
• Write a blog purporting to be one of their victims
• Email/text their colleagues, neighbors, friends etc.
The second document deals with the following in order to discredit a company:
• Leak confidential information to companies/the press via blogs etc.
• Post negative information on appropriate forums
• Stop deals / ruin business relationships

PART 9

In this regard, a South African Company, NGAM and its directors had fallen foul of these tactics employed against them by inter alia the South African State Security Agency (SSA), The Defense Intelligence of the SANDF, SARS (The Revenue Service) , The NCACC (The National Conventional Arms Control Committee), The HAWKS, a specialized investigation unit of the SAPS, etc.

All of these agencies so mentioned are staffed by people who have no idea what they are doing, except to promote evil and to turn the RSA into a deadly cesspool. The Company’s Johan Erasmus and his co- directors had won a tender to supply East Block weapons to SA Special Force via Armscor, the State procurement company notorious for leading discrepancies. After winning the contract, they experienced unprecedented disruption pertaining to the delivery of this contract. Even until today they have been short paid by Armscor, for a small business this represents a death knell!

Due to the sabotage from Armscor’s side and massive breaches of contract, the damages could exceed much more than a billion rand! Erasmus and company delivered. Not only were they short paid by Armscor, Armscor had also failed to pay the import duties on some of the weapons which led to the SA Forces in the Central African Republic (CAR) being outgunned. Armscor was also the creators of a brand new alphabet, the latest delivery as per the Letter of Credit was stated as 30 November 2011. Erasmus and company had delivered the second plane’s cargo on 31 October 2011. A month early! However, Armscor raised penalties for late delivery. After showing to Armscor that November comes after October and not vice versa, Armscor waived the penalties but still insist that such penalties are due.

Not only is Armscor part and parcel of failure as to what happened in the CAR where the South Africans had lost 15 troops, but the officials involved in these weapons being held under SARS control for not paying the moneys due to SARS, should be charged with culpable homicide. Erasmus had written as such to the President, Mr. Jacob Zuma, but nothing seems to have happened.

Prior to elaborating on the experiences of Erasmus and NGAM as per the GCHQ strategy documents. The charge against Erasmus and Company was led by the Military Police’s AB Chavenduka under the guidance of Col DBT Smit from SA Special Forces. Smit is the senior staff officer research and has been promoted way above his competencies. When Smit and Brig Genl Rudzani Maphiyanwha, the Officer Commanding SA Special Forces they set a train in motion based on the principles as encapsulated in the GCHQ documents.
Brig Genl Maphiyanwha is the very same person who has been posted as a political command to SA Special Forces. In effect, he is actually a lovely person although extremely corrupt! The allegations are that during March of this year he had a delegation visiting SA Special Forces from China. One of the places he wanted to show them is the Urban Fighting Centre, known as the Killing House- an impressive hub located at SA Special Forces School.
CASPIR ON DRY LAND
During this period, Pretoria experienced a lot of rain, at an unusually high rate and the rivers were bursting their banks. En route, they had to cross a river to the killing house. The delegation climbed into a Caspir APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) and set off to the killing house. In this process, they had to cross a river that was already running high over its banks. On the instruction of Maphiyanwha, the driver set off and continued onto a steel bridge over the river. At this, the Caspir was flooded with Chinese visitors taking their clothes off and swimming out. Maphiyanwha could not swim and climbed onto the roof of the Caspir from where he was rescued by helicopter and hospitalized for trauma! The photo shows the Caspir caught in the river’s overflow with just its roof sticking out. Would it not have been cheaper to have left Maphiyanwha there until the river subsided and he could walk out? This is the description on leadership prevalent in the SANDF today.
CASPIR DURING THE FLOODS

Another telling point is that in CAR, the Intelligence officer from SSA and the DI (Defense) had been sitting tailoring their reports on the veranda of the Hotel in Bangui, the Capital of CAR. According to their reports as it had been alleged, they concluded that the Seleka rebels were a ragtag bunch armed with AK – 47’s and wooden clubs. In fact, the Seleka’s were joined by Chadian Special Forces and had quite a number of “technicals” in their possession. Technicals are light trucks, and in this case, they were armored with twin barrel ZU 23x152 mm guns. Formidable weapons and certainly not wooden clubs!

It was also alleged that when the commander on the ground requested Artillery, Mortar bombs and other equipment, that it was refused based on the fact of the intelligence reports provided by the drinking brothers in Bangui. The result thereof is that some 15 SANDF soldiers died as no indirect fire could be brought to bear by the mortars and the artillery as there was none. This would have prevented in all likelihood the unnecessary deaths of the SANDF soldiers. If the Selekea commander did not stop, the fighting over 200 South African soldiers would have been slaughtered. What was the South Africans doing there? This question has not yet been answered although the returning soldiers all had to sign confidentiality documents as to their stay in CAR. It would not be amiss to all that CAR had to protect private business investment. In this regard, the apparent elimination of January Masilela, a former Secretary of Defense, relating to a bungled deal of uranium deposits could jolly well be an indication of what’s been going on.

This story will continue in Part 10.
