A group of armed robbers, gunned down an unnamed 66 year old Port Elizabeth man like a dog on July 29th.
The group of suspects robbed a a jewellery store in the Greenacres Shopping Center in Port Elizabeth on Friday July 29th.
Police said an armed gang entered Fischer’s Jewelers around 9.30am
and held up staff before taking an undisclosed amount of jewellery. A
display window was broken when the suspects fled the store, Police
spokesperson, Captain Sandra Janse Van Rensburg said.
According to reports the suspects ran out of the center and attempted
to hijack a vehicle in the parking area. However, the suspects were
confronted by a responding police officer. Not too far from the scene
where the police were, the suspects attempted to hijack another vehicle.
The 66-year-old owner of an pick-up truck resisted the hijacking and
was fatally wounded.
The perpetrators fled on foot toward a cellphone shop in Cape Road,
after realizing the police were closing in on them. However, a security
guard confronted the suspects who managed to succeed in hijacking a
white VW Polo. It is alleged that three of the suspected drove away in
the polo while the other suspect fled on foot and successfully arrested
in Westview Drive, Mill Park by another security company.
Janse Van Rensburg said that some of the stolen jewellery was
recovered in a fast food parking lot. The hijacked VW Polo details were
circulated, and various South African Police officers in vehicles
responded to the call. Police recovered the abandoned Polo in a
cul-de-sac in 2nd Avenue, Newtown Park.
The police acted upon reports of the suspects fleeing toward a taxi
rank in Durban Road, arrested another two in a taxi. Two firearms were
found in their possession. More of the stolen jewelry was recovered.
A case of murder, two accounts of attempted hijacking, armed robbery,
two counts of illegal possession of ammunition and a firearm,
possession of suspected stolen property and carjacking have been opened
by the police. “The suspects are expected to appear in court soon,” said
Janse Van Rensburg.
Both Julius Malema and President Jacob Zuma have a deep and emotional
extreme dislike of white people. Malema leader of the Economic Freedom
Fighters and ruling party African National Congress (ANC) Zuma have an
enormous fear of white people. The minority group totals just over three
million in South Africa and both Malema and Zuma, feel compelled to
tell voters that they must not vote for the Democratic Alliance (DA).
The deep extreme dislike of white people gaining control through the DA
is what both Malema and Zuma want their supporters to realize. Both are
installing an incessant hatred towards white people by keeping the
majority uniformed. What Malema and Zuma are doing is pushing their
communist agenda on the easily manipulated frightened people.
Of course, the DA are not the oppressors, and the President
conveniently forgets that it was the DA that fought against apartheid
and won’t tell the people the truth.
Malema told his supporters, “Please don’t vote for DA. The pain you
are currently feeling is very little compared to what you will endure if
the whites are in charge,” The leader said that blacks must not vote
for the DA because if they do, the country will fall into white hands.
Malema said, “In the eyes of the whites, we are bobbejaans [baboons].”
Zuma refers to the leader of the DA Mmusi Maimane as a man that
“likes blacks who sided with whites during apartheid” and said that
Maimane is a scarecrow, leading a party that does not know if it is
white or black. Zuma reminded his supporters that it was DA members that
compared black people to monkeys.
Both had nothing good to say about the DA and blew their own trumpet
by trying to paint the EFF and ANC as the only parties who could
deliver, reform and grow South Africa. Malema and Zuma will not tell the
truth and ignore the fact that South Africa is a dump.
Truth be told, the ANC has failed, and desperate to cling to power.
During the election campaign, the ANC have not been able to tell a good
story; it is always about what they will do. The problem is they do
nothing; they are a self-enriching, destructive party that does not care
about the people. Unfortunately, the people of South Africa are blind;
they do not see the reality of what South Africa has become.
The EFF have the vision to give back to the people what the white man
stole and set the oppressed free. Malema, who is a revolutionary
leader, aspires to gain control through violence. Not a man who seeks
peaceful solutions but quick to shout out threats.
As the president of the country and leader of a political party
continue to stir up racial conflict, we can understand why the constant
racial violence is out of control and that the minority group has become
the victims of some of the most horrifying crimes, including murders.
The entire campaign trail by both the EFF and ANC are about fear of
losing control; it is desperation. The ANC have nothing good to say
about the EFF and other political parties. The EFF, of course, continue
to rubbish the corrupt ANC party.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) are like titans fighting corruption
within the government and private sector. The official opposition to the
governing African National Congress (ANC). The DA is broadly defined as
a centrist party. The DA can trace its roots back to 1959 as the
founder of the anti-apartheid Progressive Party, with many name changes
in between.
The former leader of the DA Helen Zille said that the party is
reflective of the rich racial, linguistic and cultural heritage.” Today,
that definition remains spot-on, and the current leader Mmusi Maimane
continues to forge together the intensity of all peoples in South
Africa.
The DA has exposed corruption over the past years by alerting the
government to the arms deal, the oil gate scandal. The Chancellor House
deal with Hitachi Africa and many other shady deals have been brought
into the light.
Investment in infrastructure to stimulate growth and dependable
service delivery to communities is what the DA will deliver. Permanent
jobs can be created if conditions of the government remain corrupt free
and are face lifted to serve the community.
Investment in a strong government will ensure that job creation is
maintained. Corruption according to the DA chases away investors and
keeps people poor.
While governing the Western Cape for the last five years, there is a
tremendous improvement with service deliveries and the proven record
that the DA does deliver on the end of corruption and job creation.
People speak of creating a better life for all, and the DA are actually
delivering on their promise.
A quality education is essential, according to Zille and will create
the opportunity to obtain a decent job and the proper governance
practiced in the Western Cape will be spread to all the other provinces
of South Africa.
It is a known fact that the African National Congress (ANC), the
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the South African Communist Party
(SACP) all govern with communist ideology. While the DA and other
minority parties within South Africa lean toward a capitalist strategy.
The urge toward a competent government remains the call for the
people of the country. While the majority of people in South Africa
remain uninformed of the facts between capitalism and socialism, the
leaders of the political parties continue to manifest a perfect
government if elected, and none have delivered. The DA party of South
Africa stays committed to stamping out corruption.
The African National Party (ANC) are fervently campaigning to obtain
as many votes as possible in the upcoming elections move into the final
week. The ANC are in panic mode and have come to realize that the last
22 years of governing are finally showing signs of collapse. The last
week of campaigning saw President Jacob Zuma criticize, demean and
slander opposition parties. The ANC deems itself a force of national
liberation but does not acknowledge the other political parties or the
thousands of ordinary people who fought for freedom.
The commitment of members is at an all-time low, and the ANC party
has experienced a tremendous number of defectors. The dominant ruling
party who gained more than two-thirds majority of votes in previous
elections suffered a loss of three percent in the 2014 national election
and a loss in the last municipal election held in 2011. The indication
of another loss in this upcoming election is evident, based on the
decline of good governance.
Corruption is the highest reason for the faithful members defecting
to opposition parties or setting up their own political party. Many
people who left the ANC support the claim that more could have been done
for the citizens of South Africa. The inequality is a serious problem
and the failure of providing essential services raised a concern. Many
loyal members who were part of the ANC’s struggle for freedom are
renouncing their support amidst the embarrassing scandals surrounding
President Jacob Zuma. There are 783 charges of corruption against Zuma
that may see the president have “his day in court.”
The ANC owe its victory to the tripartite alliance with the South
African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade
Unions (COSATU). Without the support of both the SACP and COSATU, the
ANC would not have succumbed triumphantly. High-ranking members of both
SACP and COSATU hold senior positions within the ANC and have an
influence on party policy and dialogue.
A significant disadvantage for the ANC was the structure by Zuma of a
much larger administration than his predecessors, Nelson Mandela, Thabo
Mbeki and Kgalema Motlanthe. When Zuma took office, he was obliged to
recompense the comrades who rescued him from prison. Thereby Zuma
created rewarding positions in his cabinet, administration and
state-controlled companies. This resulted in the Zuma management
becoming too bulky.
The ANC rule is now severely being tested, and this upcoming election
will determine how the mighty ANC is losing its powerful grip on the
country.
Julius Malema leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is the
man of the moment. The man that can change South Africa and bring peace,
stability, and economic growth. Malema claims that now is the time for
economic freedom.
The EFF is currently the third largest party in South Africa and
secured 6.35 percent in the 2014 National election. August 3, 2016,
municipal elections will be the first time the EFF will participate and
remain confident of securing a definite victory. The EFF is a party
inspired by the socialist tradition and motivated by the Marxist
revolutionary military captain Sankara.
The EFF have always criticized the African National Congress (ANC)
and the Democratic Alliance (DA) citing that both parties have sold out
the black people of the country to capitalism as cheap labor.
Julius Malema said after twenty-two years of democracy, black people
were not free and remained trapped in poverty. The living conditions
have deteriorated, and conditions are unhealthy. He said black people do
not own land, have no homes and live a terrible life. According to
Malema, black workers are still paid slave wages and work in dangerous
conditions in the mines, farms, and other workplaces.
Twenty-two years marked the struggle to survive for most black
people, trapped in debt and no financial freedom. Essential services are
not provided in a broad spectrum of areas, and some do not have water.
The education system has failed; the fishing communities do not have
access to fishing rights. Racial discrimination still exists in the
professional sectors and is subject to unequal treatment.
Women and children are subject to violent crimes including rape.
People with disabilities are worse off now than ever before. Most
notable is the land reform issue that is lagging behind while black
people have lost their dignity.
Malema marked all the wrongs currently experienced in the country by
the black people. No mention of white or other ethnic groups sufferings
or indifference were cited. He stated that the policy of the party was
to create positive change for his people.
Most importantly is to gain control of the economy and change
policies to benefit the people of South Africa. Malema said that the
EFF’s program is revolutionary. He believes a socialist system it is the
only feasible strategy that will stop the suffering of the people.
Probably the first fundamental change is the expropriation of land
without compensation and distribution to the disadvantaged people.
Following will be the nationalization of mines, banks and any other
sector they may deem necessary, again without compensation. While
abolishing government tenders and providing free education, healthcare,
houses, and sanitation are another commitment from Malema.
The only mention of white South Africans by Malema was the unfairness
of earning which according to him, remain about six times more than
black people. Malema went on to mention the racial discrimination based
on race, gender and origin remained widespread among professional
people.
The EFF will protect Zimbabwe from imperialist threats and sanctions.
Malema said the EFF would cut ties with Botswana because of the
US-based military hub and push for high internal reforms within that
country.
Malema has a plan, a radical plan, to rebuild South Africa into a
communist country and give the people what they want. The EFF will bring
about the changes by implementing the land reform issues without
compensation and will continue to restructure the taxation of companies
to benefit the poor.
It is one of the most shocking animal abuse cases, eight children
aged between seven and 17 years, from Manenberg, Cape Town torture a
dog. The children tell the dog that “today is the day you are going to
die” and force the puppy into a fight with a Pitbull. After being
severely attacked by the pitbull, the defenseless dog tries to get away,
but the children grab the dog and continue on the mission of torture.
They hang the pup in a tree, and throw rocks at the dying dog.
The autopsy findings show that the dog suffered numerous fractures to
its body before death, injuries present in the skin of the head
indicate puncture wounds caused by a large dog bite. The front rostral
section of the skull was crushed with hemorrhaging into the sinus and
navel cavities. The liver was damaged due to a blunt force, probably
from kicking. Excess fluid in the lungs indicated that the dog was still
alive when thrown into the water.
A case has been opened and a social worker has been appointed to investigate the cruelty.
The regime has not offered any alternative accommodation for these
families – even though the law requires that they do so. The families
include the elderly and chronically-ill people. The ANC is undertaking
these forced removals of poor-white people all across the country.
“These white internal refugees now have no place to go to, no transport
if they could find a new place to flee to. Please help them in their
fight to survive. ”
THE SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE SERVICE NORTH WEST NABBED THREE MALAWIAN NATIONALS FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
Human trafficking is a global problem affecting the most marginalized
and vulnerable populations. Most of the people who are being trafficked
are used for various acts which includes, criminality, various forms of
slavery (cheap/child labor, prostitution, etc.)
These members of the South African Police Service stationed in
Boitekong North West Province were busy with their routine patrol duties
when they stopped a suspicious truck driving at high speed in the early
hours of Sunday, the 24th July 2016.
On investigation and during the search fifty seven (57) undocumented
children aged between 11 and 21 years were found in the back of a
delivery truck which is without windows. Eighteen (18) of these children
are girls (females) while thirty nine (39) of them are boys (males).
These children were transported by the three adult occupants including
the driver who are Malawian nationals. These adults could not provide a
satisfactory account on the status of all the children.
The driver and his two companions were arrested for human
trafficking. Further probe has revealed that all children were also
Malawian Nationals. An investigation is currently underway which
involves authorities and law enforcement agencies including engagements
with our counterparts in Malawi. The response and cooperation of the
Embassy of Malawi in this regard is appreciated.
The members of the service are applauded for the arrest and
apprehension of the three suspects thereby saving the children from
being abused. The issues related to how these children were able to
cross the borders of our country including how they were able to reach
Rustenburg is a matter of serious concern. The outcome of the
investigation in finding answers to all the related questions is thus
eagerly awaited.
We will continue to crack down on the transnational criminal
organizations / syndicates involved in the smuggling and exploitation of
migrants. We are further calling on all the community members to rally
behind the police in dealing with the scourge.
Members of the public are urged to be vigilant and report any
suspicious behavior in regards to alleged human trafficking for
Investigation to SAPS 10111. Human trafficking is a serious human right
violation and the South African Police Service will ensure that it
follows up on leads which will assist in reducing such incidences.
The suspects were processed and appeared briefly at the Rustenburg
Regional Magistrates’ Court this morning of Tuesday, 26 July 2016. Their
case is postponed to the 13th of September 2016, they are facing 57
counts of human trafficking. These three accused persons are remanded in
custody until their next appearance before court.
Furthermore, the Child Care Act 38 of 2005 takes into account the
best interest of the child. Section 152 of the same act gives authority
to a police office and or social worker to remove the child and place
them in a safe facility, if a child is in need of care and protection.
The 57 children are in compliance with the laws of our country
accommodated at a place safety (Care Center) under the auspices of the
Department of Social Development in the North West Province. These
centers provide support and care in line with the Child Care Act. Though
our thorough investigation and information gathering it can be
confirmed that the children were transported for the sole purpose of
human trafficking, and our team is working around the clock to get more
information on the intended destination of the children.
The South African Police Service will continue to implement the laws
of our country in pursuance of a safe and secure environment for all the
people in South Africa.
We remain committed through our Back to Basics Approach to realize
the vision envisaged by the National Development Plan where in 2030
women and children will be walking freely in the streets of our country.
Protest action in Kliptown taking place this morning. Chris Hani
Road, between Elias Motswaledi and Klipspruit Road,and roads around
Dlamani and Kliptown are affected.
Protesters are blocking railway lines, trains cannot pass across.
Demonstrators are protesting over basic services, and mobile toilets
overcrowding. Residents say the smell of poverty is overwhelming.
Motorists are urged to use alternative routes.
Kliptown residents often protest over service deliveries, and for
years the demonstrators have voiced their anger at the ruling African
National Congress (ANC) government for not delivering. Electricity,
houses, essential services, and overcrowding in Kliptown are problems
that have not been resolved.
President Jacob Zuma called the Democratic Alliance (DA) “snakes,”
during an election meeting in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan
Municipality on Saturday, July 23rd. One has to admire the
“intelligence” of Zuma, and how brilliantly he fools the uneducated,
ignorant followers of the African National Congress (ANC).
Zuma also said that the DA was the spawn of the apartheid National
Party and the Progressive Party. It is called desperation and Zuma is
anxious about the outcome of the election. Over the past weeks while
campaigning Zuma has made some ridiculous statements “Only the ANC have
liberated South Africa,” and the statement he made while in the Western
Cape, “In China, the Chinese rule and in India, Indians are in power.
It’s only here in SA that we allow others to govern”? We all know who
Zuma is referring to, the DA and the white people who are members of
that party, it’s stirring up racial tensions.
Zuma is nothing more than a pathetic leader who has failed dismally.
It is no secret that the situation in South Africa has worsened since he
became president. Education is disastrous; unemployment has soared and
out of control, there is no service deliveries and crime is
uncontrollable. Zuma will tell the ignorant ANC supporters that the ANC
are the chosen party. Nothing more than a desperate act of trying to
hang on to power and self-enrichment.
Zuma knows he is in trouble and so anxious to gain support in the
upcoming local election. Zuma needs to stay in control; it is the only
way he will stay out of prison, and when one is desperate, actions can
turn nasty. Zuma cannot win supporters confidence with the truth about
good governance, and the only way Zuma will get the votes is through
instilling fear into the hearts of the masses. It is a sad fact that
many ANC supporters are completely ignorant and believe the deceitful
lips of a failed president. WATCH THE VIDEO - HAVE A LAUGH - CLICK ON THE SAT LINK
Former tour guide Johan Leibbrandt was shot and killed in Barberton
by the police and the circumstances remain a mystery. The shooting
occurred on Sunday, and the Lowfelder journalist Stefan de Villiers
wrote on July 22 that three different versions are circulating
surrounding the circumstances of his death.
Leibbrandt lived with his mother in Pretoria, and after the death of
his father about a year ago, looked after her as she suffered from
Alzheimer. On the day of the fatal shooting, he went with his mother to
visit friends in Barberton. The mother being a sufferer of Alzheimer was
unable to tell the police what happened.
According to a police spokesman Brig. Selvy Mohlala three police
officers, a woman, and two men, reacted to a complaint received of a
break-in. The incident happened at the house of the Leibbrandt friends
whom they were visiting. When the police arrived, both Leibbrandt and
his mother were spotted next to the road, apparently waiting to report
the break-in that has just occurred. The police offered to take them
back to the police station, but Leibbrandt became anxious about his
mother being placed in the back of a police van. The two police officers
climbed into the back of the van and allowed both Leibbrandt and his
mother to sit in the front of the vehicle.
According to police officer Mohlala, Leibbrandt assaulted the driver
and tried to take away her firearm, and a shot went off, hitting
Leibbrandt in the chest, killing him instantly. Mohlala could not
explain to the Lowfelder journalist why they had taken both Leibbrandt
and his mother in the police van, nor could an explanation be given why
the two were standing next to the road.
The second version of the tragic incident comes from a female friend
of the family and family members, who are trying to establish what
happened and said that before Leibbrandt had died, she received and SMS
in Afrikaans from him, stating that the police had kidnapped him. The
family reported that the police officers tried to push both Leibbrandt
and his mother into the police van and that Leibbrandt sought to resist.
Jacob Zuma, the all inclusive president of South Africa wants six
months to do as he pleases, run the country as a dictator and put the
country back on the right track. Zuma was addressing a group of primary
school children in Tembisa. Zuma knows how to save South Africa. Now we
are aware how desperate the president and the ANC are. So much for the
democracy that was handed to the ANC 22 years ago that people forget to
ask Zuma for his definition of democracy.
Zuma has been at the helm for eight years, and South Africa has
turned into a “wrecking ball”, what on earth would the president do in
six months. Of course giving Zuma six months would be like giving him
free rein. Does the president believe the people are naïve and allow
something so outrageous? Zuma said the freedom to take over would
eliminate the collective, resolution decisions and petitions that are a
lot of work. However, being free to turn the situation around would make
it easier for the president to speed up progress. Accelerate the
process of destroying the country, after all, the ANC seem to think that
the Constitution is the cause of their failure, and that would be the
first change Zuma would make.
Zuma elaborated on education and said it would be compulsory for all
unemployed, and it would be more than compulsory, for anyone walking
around the streets would be arrested. Another focus was unemployment;
they would have to go back to school. Can you imagine all the
40-year-olds back at school? Zuma did say, that people cannot study
religion because there were too many priests, rather people should
explore plumbing.
Zuma handed out school bags and blankets to the school and told the
youngsters not to believe that he was not educated. Zuma said he took a
decision to educate himself after the death of his father.
Now we know that Zuma is educated and has a plan, but needs the
people to allow the president to implement the dictatorship for six
months. It is a joke, can an educated man, who proclaims that South
Africa is a democratic country expect the people to allow such nonsense.
On an election trail in Limpopo Malema told his followers that
democracy was at work in South Africa. Malema said that seeing white
hobos proved that the democracy was working. As usual, Malama
entertained the massive crowd when he recounted a conversation he had
with a homeless white man in Polokwane.
Malema said he was jubilant when the homeless white man asked him for
a hundred rand. He said democracy is at work here if white people ask
for money. Malema went on to say that even if white people are hobos,
they never forget that they are white. He said, the white people never
compromise on their standards, and do not take anything less than what
they think they deserve.
A serious Malema continued and said, “ you got a house, but your
house is not anywhere close to where the white hobo is going to sleep.
You are not a hobo, but you do not have water.” Malema went on to say “a
white hobo says to me, there is where we sleep, there is warm water,
but you do not have water. A white hobo will never sleep where there is
no hot water; you are sleeping where there is no water at all.”
Malama is on the campaign trail ahead of the local government
elections and continues to expand on the theme of calling for a
dignified life for all black people. Malema wants free electricity and
water for the poor among other essentials. Malema believes that the poor
do not deserve less. Black is beautiful and not a curse, Malema told
the crowd. Malema said that the people who died for freedom have
continued to suffer after the end of apartheid and reminded the
followers that they have the power to change the situation.
Diepsloot is overcrowded, and the situation worsens every day. So
what have the African National Congress (ANC) government done in the
last 22 years? When townships such as Diepsloot became home to thousands
of people and deteriorat into inhuman living conditions, then there
must be a problem. We all know what the problem is, the ANC government,
who proclaim that they are the party that delivers, sets people free and
the only party that can lead South Africa. It is a big fat lie!
Then we ask why do the people vote for the ANC when it is as clear as
daylight that their lives are in a mess, that there is no freedom, no
education, no homes, no electricity, no water, no medical services, no
roads and so the lists goes on. The people vote for the ANC because they
are conditioned, into believing the lies of the ANC. The people clap
their hands, sing a song and experience a moment of joy when the ANC
gives them a T-shirt, and a food parcel. The short-lived joy turns into
desperation and despair, as the reality of life does not change. That is
the problem, change; they do not know how to change their lives because
they are kept under the spell of the ANC.
Diepsloot, a place of unemployment, filth, crime, mob-justice,
overcrowding, health issues, drugs, kidnapping, human trafficking,
xenophobia and infrastructure that is broken. A place that will never
get attention, a place that will remain a crime infested hole for the
ANC voters while the elite lives in luxury.
Watch the video, and remember this is only one of the thousands of townships (Squatter camps) around South Africa.

It does not stop, all the hate speech targeted at the minority group.

Welcome To the City of Joburg A World Class African City! – The
opening sentence on the official website of the City of Johannesburg.
How can the government call Johannesburg a world class city when there
is nothing first class about the city? Granted there might be some areas
that are well looked after, and maintained regularly but there are
suburbs where the council does not even attend to problems. Suburbs that
are progressing into slums, that are not maintained.
South Africa experienced a severe drought last year, and water
restrictions are implemented in several places around South Africa.
Level two water restrictions were applied for Johannesburg last year,
and there is always the reminder to use water sparingly. Kroonstad is
severely affected; people do not even have drinking water. Farmers in
the Northern Cape, North West, Free State and Western Cape are affected
by the water crisis.
Kruis Street, Johannesburg, bordering Hillbrow, Prairie Street,
Rosettenville, and Olifant Street, Oakdene all have water leaks, and
there might be much more around the city. The leaks have not suddenly
appeared; the water has been running down the streets for several weeks
now. Numerous people have reported the problem weeks ago, and have
repeatedly phoned, but nobody has bothered to check the status or repair
the leaks.
Water leaks and waste in Johannesburg ignored by ANC council – Olifant Road Oakdene
In Kruis Street, the leak is so bad; that sewage is spilling out and
running down the street. While people go about their daily lives, with
no concern, walk around the running water and litter. In Olifant Road,
the constant running water is causing potholes to form in the road.
Prairie Street is no better than Kruis street; sewage is beginning to
run down the street, with litter thrown down by pedestrians. These leaks
are not from private properties and are from the pavements outside of
houses.

The protest on the R59 Meyerton area has gone violent. The South
African Police are firing teargas and rubber bullets. Police are using
corrugated iron as shields against the protesters. The protestors are
violent and the police are being chased away.
R59 Meyerton protest flares up again
Meyer Str southbound between R59 and Johan Le Roux Rd, traffic is
heavily congested and motorists should seek alternative routes as
traffic is being diverted.
There have been several protests in this area of the last few weeks, and
it would seem that no matter how much the government try and quell the
disruptive action, the people will not back down.
Laura Oneale - published today on South Africa Today – South Africa News
This article refers to the protest happening now. Yesterday we posted another article about the R59 protests, it seems that this area is under severe stress with protests flaring up all the time.
Here are the links to the previous few articles regarding protests in this area.
Last night Julius Malema leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters
(EFF) remarked about how Zimbabweans are “better off” than their South
African Counterparts. While addressing thousands of people in Limpopo
Malema praised the way his mentor Robert Mugabe seized the land from
white farmers. Malema admitted that although the economy was left in
tatters, the people of Zimbabwe are free and potentially in a stronger
position.
What Malema is doing is describing his hatred of white farmers. Last
year during September 2015 Malema delivered a speech at a press club in
Cape Town and sharply criticized the past attempts and failures of the
African National Congress (ANC) on land reform.
At this meeting, Malema recited the song about how white people stole
the land and said no compensation would be forthcoming. Malema told his
audience that the White people did not pay for the land but committed
black genocide and that the black people who survived the onslaught were
transformed into slaves. Malema again told the white people to hand
over the land.
In November last year The Pan-Africanists and Black Consciousness
movement slated Malema and the ANC as selling out their people. In a
statement, this group said Malema openly engaged leaders of the white
agricultural sector in the Western Cape and had assured the whites that
their interests in the land would be secured and intact.
At another meeting held at Oxford University, Malema referred to the
Freedom Charter as the bible of the South African revolution and that
there would be no deviation from that. At that meeting, Malema openly
rejected the revolutionary process of land reform in Zimbabwe.
Since Malema is hoping to achieve a resounding success in the
upcoming local elections to be held on August 3, his speeches are
lacking consistency. By proclaiming the manner in which Zimbabwe seized
the land is setting the stage for anarchy and inciting violence against
South African Farmers.
Must the people of South Africa have sympathy for the African
National Congress (ANC) ruling party who are desperate to win the local
government elections? Women’s league deputy president Sisi Ntombela said
that Danny Jordaan the mayoral candidate for the Nelson Mandela Bay was
handpicked by God at a meeting in Port Elizabeth.
Ntombela warned that if the Nelson Mandela Bay metro fell into the
hands of the “enemy”, there would be suffering on a biblical scale.
Bishop John Bolana spoke to the followers and said that “Nelson Mandela
Bay metro would not be taken by opposition parties, thieves and
deceivers.” The bishop had nothing good to say about opposition parties;
they are the enemy, and the ANC would fight to retain the Nelson
Mandela Bay metro, and told the people to heed the warning. The Bishop
then told the crowd that they would experience the same hardships as the
Israelite's experienced in Egypt. On closing, the meeting Ntombela said,
“This place has Nelson Mandela’s name. And we will never give it to
anyone else while we are still alive. The ANC shall rule, forever.”
It is desperation and an act of indoctrinating the minds of the
ignorant masses, it is placing fear into the hearts of people who have
no idea what the truth is. It is a shame that the ANC government who are
charged with upholding the law are not acquainted with the law. How
many officials in the ANC seek personal gain rather than trying to
administer the law. There are some who know the law but are ignorant of
the facts and ignore the need of the people. Responsibility and no
concern to investigate the causes for which they are to uphold are not
what the ANC do. It is wicked when the sacredness of the position of a
leader is ignored. Many leaders love popularity and money rather than
the truth. When leaders leave the path of righteousness and walk in the
ways of darkness, then they will pay a hefty price.
Perhaps the ANC need to be reminded of what the word of God says about corrupt leaders.
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
Psalms 82:5 KJV But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days…
Psalms 55:23 KJV
Once upon a time, South Africa had the ability to make nuclear
weapons, had advanced medical technology and a country with beautiful,
clean cities. Now everything is gone, after 22 years South Africa is
turning into townships and slums. Johannesburg is a dirty, crime
infested, overcrowded city that has been destroyed.
South Africa is a lesson to the world that the “democratic” African
National Government (ANC) cannot be trusted to run a prosperous, fair
and technologically advancing society where people are safe. In the
video, there is no evidence that the majority can run a modern advanced
country, no matter how much time is given. The decay, misery,
destruction are proof of the failing ANC government.
What remains is the ignorant followers of a corrupt government,
rapists, criminals, murderers, who let the country burn. This is what
happens when people do not care; this is what happens when a government
decides to ignore the needs of the vast majority.
The video illustrates the collapse and physical destruction of
Johannesburg, in the “new” South Africa. It is what the tourists never
see; it is the reality of what a government allowed and a problem they
continue to ignore.
'Sinazo Bambeni calls Publicly for
Necklacing of House Negros and the
systematic killing of Whites.'
I am thankful to my numerous followers for bringing to light the hate speech
from black extremist groups in South Africa - thank you for defending me.
I am appalled at the 'Mmasekepe Matsebane's', and 'Sinazo Kwakhanya Bambeni's' of our current day South Africa, who
simply because they are black, are
allowed to spew hatred & vitriol completely unfettered by our government
and constitutional court.
They are allowed to bully and threaten anyone who they deem is a threat to
their ideology - even their own people.
Wake up South Africa - our battle is here and now!
As a black man with dreams for a free country
where our rights are protected as citizens, I feel we are at a dangerous
impasse where our bumbling government is silently sponsoring extremism as their
support at the polls starts to wane... whether it is this year, next or five
years from now, it is eminent!
We are on the brink of being run by a terrorist organization using terrorist
techniques to secure the votes of our people
