From Taxi Wars to Minister of Transport

Another concern from a farmer in South Africa, referring to the corruption and greed of government officials.

 What I say here is just the tip of the iceberg. It needs more investigation.

During the time of Chaka, the Zulu king, Mzilikazi "the young general tried to keep some loot for himself instead of presenting all to Chaka".

Mzilikasi ended in Rhodesia. These are the Matabeles or Ndebeles.

I am not sure where the original stock comes from.

Anyway, during the 1980s violence erupted in the area between Greytown and Stanger. Stanger was where Chaka's Kraal was.

 This war was not between IFP and UDF; it was between rival taxi groups.

It is from this area where all taxi routes across South Africa are controlled. Even those in the Cape came to this area to sort out problems gunning rivals down.

Sbu Ndebele was a car cleaner at a White owned garage in Durban. He got involved with taxi wars, and a price was put on his head. He bought a farm 5km from my farm outside Pietermaritzburg. This he did with the help of his White friends so he could get away from the Durban trouble spot.

He rose to be Minister of Roads and Transport after 1994. He was the "right person for the right job". He now was in total control. In the high office.

It was the years 1985 to 1995 that Toyota approached Sbu Ndebele to sell fleets of mini buses to South Africa.

Since 2000, the recapitalization program came into effect selling more fleets to the taxi industry.

Since his roots were in defrauding the authority and then taking the goods ands running with them. It was he who encouraged those in municipalities to take funds out of the treasury and buy privately owned vehicles then ride around the country in style. At the same time he got his slice of the takings, the rest paid to Toyota. That is how one makes money.

Now comes the other tsunami.

Coming from Japan, where Toyotas are made, a certain Schaffel (American business person) is promoting Social Business, using Social Media, as the media to take over business matters.

Twitter, Mobile Commerce, Facebook and Instagram will now be the new media to do business and the Ndebele in the van making profits.

(There are consequences not doing business this way said Scheffel)

How many municipalities are bankrupt as of October 2015?

Those that paid Land Rates will not get a cent of benefit. It has all gone. Gone for good as they gave it all away.

Those in the know since 1980 will take away the rest of the country using social media.

Go to those meetings addressed by motivational and emotional speakers, and who comes back the wiser and richer?

Compassion is NOT the word when you lose it all.

Enough said, go and do your research.
