Another South African story about corruption

Based on the Dolus reconcilis clause.

A fraudulent address or trick used to deceive someone.

Chapter I.

It was on SAfm (A local radio station)a few weeks back.

 A black coal merchant was at his site when approached by two armed would-be criminals.

The coal merchant shot one dead at the site.
Police arrested the other. The suspect was charged with murder and was found guilty of murder. The case went to the Bloemfontein Appeal Court. The conviction and sentence were upheld Dolus reconcilis. The accused could foresee that his friend would be killed if they approached the coal merchant with handguns, and the merchant was known to be armed and ready to defend himself in the case of armed attack. The coal merchant was not charged.

The accused reconciled to the fact that secondary consequences would happen.

Chapter II.

1994. The municipality on Klipfontein was handed over to the new ANC government. The books were in good condition. With a population of 500 000 the yearly turnover, according to the annual balance sheet, was R10 million. All roads, hospitals, schools, government buildings, etc. were in good condition.

Now the ANC-owned Klipfontein (Klipfontein is a town in Nkangala District Municipality in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.) said that the ANC would rule until Jesus came back.

I am NOT mentioning inflation nor race, as this upsets what I say here.(There is no inflation in this article.)

In Klippiesfontein, the outgoing councilors in 1994 had been paid R100 000 per year and the residence paid reasonable amounts in rates to the municipality.

2015 now the councilors were paid R250 000 per year, rates to the middle class were increased by the municipality by 200% since 1994, and the price of land went up in the upper-class suburb. Therefore, the municipality increased rates by 500% since 1994. 

Most at both places had to sell, and so the lower classes could move into a higher-class suburb. The councilors are even subsidized this process. In other words, those from the previously disadvantaged did not pay, or paid rates but this was repaid back to them when they "bought" a house.

Councilors did not actually pay rates when things were added up, nor did the previously disadvantaged.

Suddenly all roads, hospitals, schools, government building were in appalling condition. The councilors' private houses, cars, and private schools were in excellent condition. Their children were even accepted at Yale University in the United States.

Suddenly there were outbreaks of ADS/HIV, Ebola, TB. Lung infections in the rest of the town. Also, fatal minibus crashes happened daily due the potholes in the poorly kept roads. Furthermore, school marks went down, and many teachers were found to be bribed to increase scores. Monies are coming from individual councilors. Traffic fines were unpaid.

The only solution is to charge all municipal councilors, who increased their personal salaries, with criminal charges. Dolus reconcilis. As they could foresee by increasing their salaries, this would lead to the deaths of many and destruction of Klipfontein.
