SOUTH AFRICA: A FAILED STATE: TO NAME AND SHAME THEM

South Africa – what a deurmekaar (confused) place!!  

Everybody blames President Zuma, and rightly so. He is the man at the moment in charge, and what a mess has he made! Ole Max Du Plessis – a journalist, who never minced his words, calls him a “One Man Wrecking Ball!”

Was that only but true for the South African sportsmen and – women?

The HAWKS, the specialized investigation unit in the SAPS (Police Service) suspended their Head Genl Anwar Dramat and the Gauteng Head Genl Sibiya eventually.

The Helen Suzmann Foundation stepped up to the plate in order to have Genl Dramat’s suspension set aside. Quite successfully, they so were. However, the Minister of Police immediately launched an Application for Appeal. The South African public believes that the President’s men are once again to suspend those who are so rising to investigate serious corruption. Is that so?

Genl Dramat got this job, and he terminated the investigation into the Arms Deal based on the fact that there was far too much work and that they did not have the resources. Remember this line!

Where did the good Genl Dramat go wrong, without having access to any internal news? In the RSA, there is a particular piece of legislation, Act 12 of 2004, The Act for the Prevention and Combating of Criminal Activities. There is a Section, S 34 which states quite clearly that on the basis of any suspicion, any person being aware or even suspecting such – must bring criminal charges.

This is the sole single fact that Genl Dramat must be accused of. His lack, of pressing the charges pertaining to the corruption in South Africa, is clearly out of control. Perhaps the Helen Suzmann Foundation should take a bit of heat of this situation.

When all good men and women keep quiet ………………..

Why did Genl Dramat then not deal with Genl Sibiya? The newspapers wrote Genl Maphyanya from Mpumalanga, HAWKS HEAD in Mpumalanga falsified claims to do with travel. They do not ask whether these so-called issues were raised because of the General’s involvement in the investigations into the alleged fraud at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. With the subsequent assassination of Jimmy Mohlala , a Councillor  at the local municipality who pushed for the investigation!

Interesting enough, the dossier of the investigation went missing, and no further investigation is taking place.

The central issue should be Genl Sibiya as the suspended Head of the Hawks in Gauteng. Issues were brought to his attention of fraud pertaining to the stealing of Council Properties in the City of Johannesburg by what properties were sold at vastly deflated prices and afterwards resold at enormously inflated prices. A certain Maringa and his coterie of criminal minded peoples were involved in these unjust self-enrichment. He went on record hat the then Minister of Justice, Mr Jeff Radebe, a Zulu from Newcastle in Natal was his partner. Yet, nobody does anything. Genl Sibiya seemed to be blind and deaf. A certain Capt Jan Judeel was in the forefront of wiping all allegations of fraud in this regard under the table. Why? In an affidavit by a certain Peet Viljoen, it is stated explicitly that a certain Zunaid Moti and Investec Bank had benefited from these irregular and seemingly fraudulent property transactions at the City of Johannesburg. Genl Sibiya as the HEAD of the HAWKS was also running a private night club opposite the Pretoria train station.  

While Genl Dramat has not been implicated in these matters, as National Head he at least should have known what is going on and take action. There is no public record of any such action being undertaken at any time.

Minister Jeff Radebe is currently the Minister of the Presidency, a De-facto Prime Minister. He has presidential aspirations indeed and makes no secret about it. Pres Zuma reckons that if he holds his enemy's closer that things will be under control. He would have been right if he did not put people such as Jeff Radebe in such powerful positions. Jeff Radebe is also the Chairperson of the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC). This is a cabinet committee being served by the Directorate Arms Control Committee, which falls under the Secretary of Defense. Effectively he is a Director General for the Department of Defense.

Because everything around the Military is regarded as security, everything is for this reason classified either as RESTRICTED or SECRET. Of course, this leaves a big scope for many untoward happenings, in both the procurement and even murder. The allegations of the murder of a husband and wife in Kempton Park shortly after the surfacing of the Arms Deal allegations have been swept under a filthy carpet. This former Air Force officer’s laptop and other material all went missing. Is this the only such case? People have been told if they talk too much about the HELDERBERG disaster then they would suffer consequences. Not just about losing their pensions. In addition, so it goes on. However the leader of the country is absent, the security institutions do not function, the RSA Parliament is dysfunctional.

The Military is a law unto themselves. Brig Genl Mankai, the former Commanding Officer of the Oudtshoorn military bases, Infantry School, had in last year mustered 2 x Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Ratels with 90 mm turrets fitted to it and some 120 troops with full battle gear in order to assault the Police Center where some of his drinking buddies that had been earlier arrested, had been held. He is about to appear in court on charges of intimidation, and yet he is at work every day. Something is a little odd about him wanting to start a shooting match against a highly out-gunned Police Service.

 No direct arrest and court martial? Why not?

Of course, this is the lackadaisical attitude of play in the South African Defense Force as well as the rest of the country. South Africa is a failed state waiting to explode. In addition, what an explosion it will be. Rather sooner than later, it would seem.

In 20 years, the ANC had regurgitated the same song every year, service delivery, all hands on deck,,,, etc. etc. etc. etc. . , the waste and the nonsense had been accumulating extensively. What happens in a war of attrition? In addition, this is what's going on in the RSA.

Sticking with the military. The politicians and the generals drink together, and the politicians are seemingly at the bidding of the generals. The Minister of Defense, Mrs Mapisa Nqakula is at the mercy of the Generals. Why? What has she done that puts her at their mercy? One can but only wonder. All the hot air she and her colleagues sprout in Pres Zuma’s cabinet is but that. The NCACC can make any unfounded allegation against nobody and make it stick through a network of cowardly and self-serving technocrats. Mrs Vanessa Du Toit as the so-called Director of Compliance of the NCACC is not afraid to pen her signature to false affidavits despite having knowledge that such could not be true. Yet, she would appear to be untouchable! Why? Is it because her husband is alleged to be working now for Paramount Logistics? Paramount has CEO, Ivor Ichikowitz, who had been implicated in the export of 320 Ratel IFV’s during the 2000’s to Jordan, and an amount of some USD 300 million is still an issue. Many of the people who had been involved in ensuring safe houses for the ANC during the struggle are now supposedly very close to ZUMA and his consorts. Names such as those of Selwyn Nathan and David Hirscowitz had been mentioned. Israeli Intelligence? Allegedly, Du Toit’s husband, Matie – ex-Air Force and former Chief of Staff of the late January Masilela, is very well known to these peoples. Du Toit, a Director Compliance at the NCACC and her husband, are now working for Paramount, a company if the Defense Industry that she must control? Conflict?

Everybody has been talking about Gaddafi’s money. Pres Zuma’s name had been mentioned. However, this started during the time of Pres Mandela. Gaddafi’s relationship with the ANC arose from 1972 when he began funding the ANC. Every month he would be sending a courier to London to pay the fees of all the ANC member’s fees. Apparently, Gaddafi had learnt early on that money transferred to the ANC would go astray. A defective gene in the ANC’s make-up until today. According to Al J Venter, South Africa in Mandela’s times had supplied technology and goods in the nuclear field to Libya. According to sensitive sources, the Libyans had much more nuclear knowledge and products when the USA bought it from Gaddafi after an agreement to this effect. According to these sources, up to 10 times more than the USA estimated.

However, what else? What else? What is a dirty bomb?

Is it true that after 1994, the South Africans had sent shiploads full of contaminated nuclear goods and other stuff to be buried in Libya? Where in Libya? Where is the Gaddafi bunker of which the entrance was imploded until today? What is in there; boats and planes and trains? Sinister! What will happen if terrorists get their hands on such?

We are very glad that we are not in Europe, despite Pres Zuma giving apartheid credence due to his imbecilic utterances. All he has been doing was to run the ANC down and acknowledging that the ANC is not up to standard. Yet, the so-called security services are not doing their work, not only Dramat and Sibiya, also all the other parasites garnering an exorbitant salary every month for messing around and messing up.
