Dog Rape and Animal Abuse in South Africa

A few months ago an article exposing the despicable and indecent demeanor to dogs and animals in South Africa was posted. Many people have responded with similar stories of abuse. The score of stories told is heart-breaking, demoralizing and sometimes to sickening to share.
https://hand4paws.wordpress.com/tag/animal-abuse/

Eastern Cape – the shocking revelation, dogs, goats, donkeys and chickens were subject to bestiality by school children as young as five were. King Williams Town Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) have reported the incident to the South African Police and indicated that there is a sharp increase in animal abuse.

When the SPCA removes the abused animals, the perpetrators find other animals to abuse and so the continued inhuman behavior continues.

Social workers and SPCA employees labored with the children and families came to realize social problems of either using drugs, no adult supervision at homes or parents performing sexual acts in front of children caused the appalling behavioral patterns. Other issues of domestic violence and parents drunk or high affected the children and their behavioral patterns stem from insecure and unstable homes. Some of the children were removed and placed in foster care. An ongoing concern is that children who exploit abusive conduct toward animals can continue to display violence as they grow up.

Pietermaritzburg - Another incident of human violence harmed an African Grey parrot, when two people argued; the one pulled out a knife and stabbed the bird in its stomach. Then threw the bird onto the road, the bird was rescued by the SPCA. As a result, now has a permanent hole in its stomach causing continues bleeding problems and a twisted leg, as a consequence, from the hurl.

Kempton Park – A man in a foul mood took his frustrations out on the family pet, a Jack Russell, hit the dog with a broom, threw bricks and kicked the dog until it cried no more.

Pretoria – Different cultures have traditions that include animals in celebrations. Perhaps the way the animals are slaughtered raises a concern. On the side of the road, several people held onto a cow, which was slowly dehydrating and poked with a small knife to end its life. After several hours of torment, the cow dropped onto the ground and the people jumped on the animal to force the air from its body and started skinning the animal while still alive. Performing this act, in a public place without consideration for onlookers and quite happy to display their inhuman behavior.

In South Africa, the police do not always consider animal cruelty cases seriously. The SPCA bases this foundation on ignorance of understanding the law to protect animals.

The myth that a sexual encounter with an animal or a newborn human cures AIDS is just that a MYTH. Yet people remain ignorant to the fact that animals or children are the voiceless beings who deserve the best protection.

Welcome 2015 with Understanding

As 2014 comes to an end, do not look back at the long hard road traveled. Nearly everyone has probably passed over rough ground, fallen and has been hurt and cut. Do not dwell on the falling and tripping over and over again. It might be true that very few are at peace. Life is an inter-relationship of events, like waves on the ocean, moving, every moving – changing, never still, each one affecting the other, moment by moment.

2015 is a new year, a new beginning, and a new hope.

As the New Year brings with it new challenges, have the strength to stand where you are, give love in return for hurting. Give truth in exchange for deceit and give understanding to another’s failure. Remember you to have failed, injured and deceived somewhere along the road.

Let 2015 be a year to love and love again. 


After a while, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love does not mean leaning and company does not mean security
And you begin to learn that kisses are not contracts and presents are not promises
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’ ground is too uncertain for plans
After a while, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
And you learn that you really can endure ... that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.

SOUTH AFRICA – A FAILED STATE

Historical Perspective Part II – from then until now

Continuing the series of articles in order to establish as to whether South Africa is a failed state and if so, then why from a historical perspective.

In “Kruger, Kommandos & Kak “by Chris Ash, he deals on a very level basis with the role of the Imperial Troops as well as the role of the “Burghers “: of the ZAR (Zuid Afrikaansche Republik) the Transvaal”. What he says is that every Afrikaans speaking person should start to research the history and not the drivel served up by the National Party (NP) Government.

Today this group of people is without leaders; as a matter of fact, the professed leaders are all tied into highly dubious deals.

Pik Botha, the highly contentious ex-Minister, F W De Klerk – the President at the time the ANC outwitted him and were equal dim-witted cabinet. They never knew as to what was happening in the outside world. They never understood that it was all about the money; politics was just the means to get the cash! This seems to have been the dogma from the London School of Economics.

It was very interesting when the late Frederik Van Zyl Slabbert recounted calling Thabo Mbeki by his first name. As recounted by himself in his writings, and they had known each other for a long time, that Mbeki pointed out that he was the President and that he should be called such. A real indication that a mere crumb was now thinking that he had become bread, for all the whiskey, womanizing and alleged drug abuse attributed to him.

In addition, that he was replaced by Pres Jacob Zuma, a Zulu of origin. Zuma and his Zulus have pushed South Africa into a state similar to that of a failed state. Zuma and Paul Kruger share many aspects, one of the most important aspects are that they had set out to control the Judiciary. It was recalled that Kruger intervened in the sentencing of a rogue by the name of Nellmapius. In Zuma’s case, his legal team was whacked in the Supreme Court of Appeal on the fact that they had no case. In order to delay proceedings in respect of the issue of the tape recordings, which was used to negate the more than 700 criminal charges for fraud against Zuma. However, who is paying for these expensive legal fees? Zuma? Not at all – the public. Despite South Africa having Legislation, such as the Public Finance Management Act, 1 of 1999 as amended. 

Somebody had to be held to account in the President’s office.  
However, massive silence!

Not from De Klerk, who it has been alleged had been involved in moving vast sums of money from the RSA pre-1994. To whose benefit? The Afrikaans-speaking South Africans, all South Africans? It does not seem so.

In addition, the Gaddafi moneys? For how long has it been in the RSA? It is a tale that ascribing it to Zuma is somewhat unfair. He is only at the tail end of what has been going on. According to sensitive sources in the ANC ( African National Congress,) President Barak Obama had called Zuma in November 2014. Zuma was advised that if the stolen Libyan moneys were not paid into the Trust Fund in the USA before end January 2015. Zuma and the ANC would face criminal charges at the International Crime Court. (ICC) Also, the fact that a substantial amount of this money had found its way to ISIS in Syria!

It is a severe allegation as it places all South African at risk because the government is run by the ANC and that the same ANC has now been implicated in these problems. Linking this allegation to the news reports from the country that over 4 000 Al Qaeda have been spotted in South Africa.

Pres Thabo Mbeki has case to answer in this regard. During his reign as President, he had employed the African Union (AU) in order to move the Gaddafi/Libyan moneys. In this regard, a Johannesburg Attorney was allegedly employed by Mbeki to move the Libyan funds. In this regard, Molefe had been traveling the world with an AU diplomatic passport. When going to the USA in order to confront Goldman Sachs on the Libyan moneys, he was faced with some ex-Special Forces types that send the fear of God into them, and he made a runner. However, Goldman Sachs lost a case against the USA government during 2014 and had to surrender USD 30 billion!  

According to what Molefe recounted to various people, all the documents relating to
this issue was handed to the Seriti commission who has been running an investigation into the Arms deal. According to Molefe, it was Mbeki’s idea to use the Libyan moneys as a guarantee with the British banks that had raised credit lines for the hugely inflated Arms deal. The Seriti commission has until the date not managed to instill any confidence into the general public pertaining to its investigations. Suffice it to state that until the time the Seriti commission has acted like a bunch of gangsters with their legal teams as their hit men. In this regard, Adv Moerane’s name springs to the front.

Any idea of democracy is nothing else but a sham. It is pure London School of Economics dogma. It never was about democracy and human rights; it was all but a sham. It has only been about the money. In the words of Smuts Ngonyama , first ANC, then COPE and now ANC again,“ I never joined the struggle to be poor”. It was after he garnered ZAR 120 million on a privatization deal of TELKOM - the previously state-owned telecommunications agency.

The RSA is indeed a gangster’s paradise. In 2013, some 200 South African troops found themselves in a very precarious situation in Bangui, Central African Republic (CAR). What were they doing there? When attacked by an overwhelming force of some 5000+ Seleka rebels who had ousted then President Bosize, they had to fight impossible odds to stay alive. This was due to some officers from the State Security Agency of the RSA and Defense Intelligence who were drinking on the terrace of the Hotel in Bangui, whilst compiling a report that the Selekas were only armed with AK47’s and wooden clubs. Little did they know that the President of Chad, France’s high man in Africa was financing the Selekas? After the fracas, the RSA contingent had to sign official documents to compel them to keep all aspects of the venture in Central African Republic (CAR) secret. A typical British action! Why? What was there to hide? The fact that several of the RSA comrades were up to their ears in dealings in CAR, including Mining, etc., etc.

Until today, nobody has been prosecuted in relation to this situation. Lives are cheap; Pres Zuma does apparently not give a tad about his soldiers’ lives.
What else?

TELKOM, the former state-owned telecoms entity and now partially owned by the state whilst listed on the JSE (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) has a company called TELKOM AFRICA. Through this company, they had bought all the bandwidth from satellite operators over Africa. It is not just for reselling; the fact of the matter is that they are using this to listen to all business and political issues via the RSA’s state resources. The information re business issues are circulated to a small group of so-called comrades. The London School of Economics is clearly at play here. The completely political claptrap was only designed for one simple reason, and that was to get their hands on the money.

Who are these people? Clearly many of them are embedded in the ruling ANC, this gives them cover and they can affect all of their nefarious actions in secrecy. The RSA even bought a Russian satellite. For whatever rhyme or reason, it is perhaps for the same as with TELKOM AFRICA. To eavesdrop on all business transaction primarily, is courtesy of the RSA taxpayer. The price of the satellite has been bandied about at ZAR 1, 6 billion. The fact of the matter is that the price would rather seem to be nearer to ZAR 5, 6 billion, i.e. USD 560 million.

The opposition is silenced with issues of secrecy, and since when is fraud and piracy secret? In the RSA context, it sure is!

 Moreover, when Patton so famously wrote, “Cry the beloved country,” he just had no idea!

The scoundrels, at all levels in civil life. In addition, the British influence. A story to will be dragged into the spotlight in a later piece.

Are you worried? If not, you should be ………………………………………

South African Union Advertisement Rejected

Solidarity Union of South Africa has a primary function to protect members in the work environment and help negotiate labor disputes. Solidarity is a union that strives to protect members irrespective of race, age, and gender.

The Solidarity Union recently approached the Digital Satellite Television (DSTV) Company to televise an advert on behalf of the union. Twice this year the advertisement was rejected and not broadcast.

DSTV was launched in 1995 and remains a popular television choice for most South Africans. The extensive coverage and channel selection makes DSTV the firm favorite for home entertainment.
A video clip hosted by Dr. Dirk Hermann tells the story of trying to screen the Solidarity Union advert and declared that DSTV gave no reason why it was disallowed. The advertisement is part of the video and Dr. Hermann has taken to social media to broadcast this short advertisement. Dr. Hermann asks that the public should use their own discretion and reach a conclusion about the ad.

Although the advertisement is in the Afrikaans language, the message is the primary objective of the union to look after its members. Several friends and family members have watched the advertisement and all reach the same conclusion that the entire cast was white and perhaps this is the reason for not viewing on national television.

South Africa Spotlight on the Revenue Services

South Africa Spotlight on the Revenue Services

South Africa

Does the South African Revenue Services (SARS) have a secret unit that enables the use of undesirable power to discredit honest, hardworking, reliable people? In South Africa it would appear that SARS is following the same surreptitious and dishonest ways as most government institutions employ.
State resources are used to find ignominy on people or a company that can or may be a threat to the government. No matter how trivial a threat is, SARS will discredit anybody in a direct attempt to remain the powerful controlling state entity. Using state resources are not the only option, it is the leaking of information to the press, to misinform the public that can plot the downfall of either individuals or companies.
South African taxpayers are often habituated to reports of deceitful, dubious dealings and corruption within government departments. South Africans are swayed to believe the worst of politicians, including senior and middle management government employees. The continual suspension of workers and redeployment of allies into top positions gives rise to deception. South Africans have limited access to the continuous denials that often confirm the truth of suchlike accusations.
Tom Moyane was appointed to the Commission for SARS by President Jacob Zuma in September 2014. Moyane, formally  served as the National Commissioner of Correctional Services and worked as Chief Executive Officer of Government Printing Works.
Tom Moyane appears to be running SARS autonomously. This is an unusual and unacceptable practice for someone without experience. South Africa should rely on the current leadership, and not Moyane.
Allegations that Moyane lied about a report can only be surmised that there was not enough evidence from certain people who were uncovering the truth about a possible tax evasion scheme by Zuma. Tax on Nkandla and customs duty on African National Congress (ANC) t-shirts are listed as a fraction of the tax evasion investigation. Should Zuma not pay the monies, there will be the liability of tax on benefits and SARS will implement penalties and interest on outstanding amounts owed and this can amount to a hefty amount of money.
The question of whether the suspension of Ivan Pillay and Peter Richer by SARS is a move to protect Zuma could be a possibility. Both Pillay and Richer are upfront and known as honest officials, and possibly have the power to sink Zuma.

NOW READ A TRUE STORY ABOUT A COMPANY BATTLING WITH SARS TO MAINTAIN OPERATIONS AND HOW THE CONTROLLING UNIT OF SARS WILL UNDERTAKE TO SHUT DOWN ANYBODY OR ANY BUSINESS NOT COMPLIANT WITH THEIR RULES.


Letter to SARS

Dear Sir

Your reference to a civil matter refers.

Armscor was the complainant; your actions have been throughout malicious.

What don’t you understand in English?

SARS has been a part of the malicious, thieves and corrupt wrangling of the Military establishment.

We have addressed all your aspects as raised.

When it is stated that we do not know what you are talking about, it is simply because we do not know what you are talking about.

I must point out that you and your team will be held personally liable for all civil matters due to damages arising from your actions.

These actions are but nothing else but criminality cloaked in legalese. The fact that SARS is a tool in the hands of the corrupt elements of the Military establishment is a fact.

SARS has become de facto a criminal institution, despite us pointing such out; the view always has  that you continue in a set fashion in order to close us down and steal our business.

This has also been shown in newspaper reports.

Are we dealing with imbeciles at SARS/ in our relations with SARS we had found that it actually transpires that people do act in such a fashion, under instruction from higher ups?

Therefore, we now would like to know as to who your direct supervisor is as well as to who your supervisor’s supervisor is.

Meanwhile due to the gravity of the whole situation, we shall report such as well to the USA Department of Homeland Security.

For reasons of clarity, we insist on a reply within the next 24 hours.

Yours faithfully
Johan Erasmus

Reply from SARS

Receipt of your mail of 27 November 2014 below, the content of which is duly noted, is hereby acknowledged.

This Office does not intend to respond to the allegations made therein, but failure not to do so should not be construed as an admission that we agree with the content thereof. This Office, therefore, reserves the right to respond thereto in an appropriate forum if the need should arise. This Office still held the same view as expressed in its letter of 25 November 2014 addressed to you.

Another letter to SARS
Attn: Mr. Francois Smit
We do not intend to answer to your averments in detail, and it must not be construed as malicious or intent on following a vindictive path.
SARS has been part of a conspiracy to defraud us and to close our business down. This plot was launched from Brig Genl Maphanwya at SA Special Forces and his friend Brig Genl Modise at Defense Intelligence (DI). In this regard, they and Armscor were the chief culprits.
We have been cooperating with SARS, whence we found that SARS was not interested in hearing our side. It appears clear that either SARS is inhibited with incompetent, malicious peoples. Despite us referring to Case Law, no regard is had to such.
The views as held forth by yourself and your office will be placed before the TAX Ombudsman. Not only do we reserve our rights in this matter but we shall also include this whole episode and all the personnel along with the criminal charges being brought at the International Criminal Court from a foreign country.
In this whole fracas, we have not had once had the fortune to view all the docs on which you so-called relied. Neither have you at any stage disclosed as to who your bosses are in order for us to ascertain as to where these allegations were launched from.
Concisely the whole SARS strategy was to steal our money. The SASF and DI strategy was to intimidate our suppliers -”: Erasmus sal nooit weer ‘n doppie in hierdie land invoer nie.” This was said to Military personnel by unknown persons. Unknown persons also accosted Military staff and threatened them with their careers
Should they persist in having contact with ourselves?
All and any allegations and averments from SARS stems from a mala fides action. Armscor is the complainant in this matter of the situation, which they had created, and they scripted in order to steal our business.
They had set out to destroy us by abusing the State and its resources. They have intercepted our communications, in all formats. Not only this, they had actively interfered in our business, - like real gangsters.
No wonder South Africa has become a failed state. The news exposure re SARS in the Sunday Papers bear us out.
It is mind boggling that you persist in your views, despite what we had presented, the only conclusion we could reach is that you are being intimidated in this regards.
However, it has been your decision.
Yours faithfully
Johan Erasmus
