Horrific animal cruelty uncovered – Midrand

SPCA Midrand responded to tip off of animal cruelty.

What they found was horrific – 119 chicken carcasses lying among live chickens in a chicken run.
SPCA conducted an emergency slaughter of a further 99 chickens which could not be saved and removed the 119 already dead ones.

No food and water was found on the premises for the surviving chickens, so SPCA provided food, and water.

The chickens could not wait to get some water.
 
Warning was issued onsite by the inspectors.

 A case of animal cruelty was opened by the SPCA with the South African Police.

Most dangerous prisoner in South Africa – VIDEO

John Mongrel, “the boss” of the 27 Gang in Pollsmoor prison kills rapes and is nothing more than a ruthless heartless person. He rapes new prisoners, he gives orders to kill and those who dare not obey, are killed.

Mongrel has since died and it is without sorrow that such a horrid person is no more. In or out of prison this man lived the life of a dictator; even prison warders were not safe. It is as though he had his own private army and prisoners including prison authorities were powerless against him.

Pollsmoor is not designed to rehabilitate criminals, built during the apartheid years; it was meant to harden black prisoners and yes, the apartheid warders were tough, never allowed intimidation to expand. Now 22 years into democracy the place is nothing more than a dirt infested, overcrowded, gang controlled hole where disease flourishes. The warders are not safe, and the authorities have lost control.

During 2014, seven warders were stabbed to death in Pollsmoor prison. John had a lot to do with the unfortunate deaths of these warders. In the video, he explains why they kill and why they rape new prisoners. He was a dangerous man, and the irony is that people actually worship this fallen man, and have set up a Facebook page that boasts over 3000 fans.

Bring back the death sentence, criminals like John Mongrel, terrorizing prisoners and causing untold trauma, instilling fear into petty criminals and abuse of taxpayers money, should not be allowed to live.

South African prisons are dangerous, and as crime is out of control around the country, the government remains detached to the reality of the real situation. While criminals should be kept behind bars and off the streets, the prisons cannot cope with the high influx and thus a new set of revolting conditions arise. Perhaps one day, the government will turn the page and say, “Ah yes, the prisons, the escalating crimes, let us bring back the death penalty.”

Breaking down racial barriers

A South African shares a story, from during the last apartheid years and early democratic years.



It was middle of 1989. Linda was a recently qualified Sister at Greys Hospital in Pietermaritzburg.

It seems that Greys was named after Albert Henry George Grey, of Howick, Northumberland, England who was part of the Charter of the British South Africa Company and a certain Cecil John Rhodes was a member.

Her contract with the Natal Administration was due to end only in three years’ time.

1989 was the last years of Apartheid and the end of Apartheid was not long.

Apartheid is racial segregation.

All her certificates and hospital registers were correct and properly processed.

She was with a group of 20 nurses also recently qualified as Sisters.

Matron had requested that the 20 recently qualified Sisters meet in the dining room for nurses.

"I am glad you are all here. . . I have to make an important announcement. . . . The influx of new nurse will be with us in the middle of next week. . . There is an increase of new student nurses compared to the past, as the new influx will include those of Color. These of Color will be chosen from across Natal from outlying hospitals. You here in the rooms, will have to make space. We have not found your postings in the outlying areas yet. Therefore, you have to remain working at Greys. There are two sisters in each room at the moment. From now on, there will have to be three Sisters in each room. Three Sisters per room times 6 is 18 Sisters. Two will have to find another place to stay. 18 plus 2 equals 20.

Linda and Anne will now have to move into rooms near Reception. We know this will be inconvenient.

Linda knew that the two rooms near Reception was the worse place to be. The noise 24 hours and people moving in and out at all hours was not the place to be.

Her present room had commanding view and the morning sun shone into her room. Downstairs, the place as dark, pokey, dusty and -

Matron finished by saying.

That is all. I know you understand and the Hospital Superintendent has the last say. These are his instructions.

Linda was nearly six feet tall. She was well built, robust, had a good brain, worked hard, followed instructions, and was outgoing, kind, no hang-ups and no pent-up anger. . . In addition, she was Irish.


Linda went stone cold. Matron left. The Sisters still had to finish their meal.

The Linda started.

"No. I am not moving downstairs. I am going to the single bachelor doctors' quarters. There are a 100 single rooms there. Only 20 doctors in residence. . . "

These doctors were doing their horsemanship and most came from overseas, Low Countries, France and Germany. They were young and recently qualified. They liked to come to
South Africa, as South Africa had patients that had been badly injured, had many different kinds of diseases. In Europe, young doctors never saw that many kinds of conditions as in Africa. .

Therefore, she finished her meal. All 20 followed her. They went to their rooms got their things and all 20 moved to the North Wing where the doctors' quarters were. Got the keys and set themselves up. The incoming student nurses could have all 10 rooms to use . . ., which they had just vacated.

Superintendent could do nothing. He had to accept what happened.

Three months later. All 20 Sisters were given notice to be in the student nurses' lecture room.

Superintendent addressed them.

"Now it has been decided to post all 20 Sisters to the Ladysmith, Natal, to the Bantoe Emnambithi Hospital. . ."

Now the news came. . .
"You have to maintain a high standard. 80% all blacks in that hospital have syphilis. Blacks can live with this strain of syphilis and not die and they pass this onto their partners in sex. In addition, Whites are not immune to it and you will die if you contract the disease as there is no
cure. . . Gloves will be worn at all times . . ."

So that is what breaking down racial barriers means.

Stop bad mouthing South Africa says Zuma

The president has spoken, don’t bad mouth the country. Who will listen to Zuma and his requests for support? Does Zuma still have any say about what happens in this country? For how long will the people continue to allow the president who is facing corruption charges and has a total disregard for the well-being of the country be allowed to utter nonsensical words?
The biggest communication problem is that we listen, not to hear, but only to reply. President Zuma said the citizens of South Africa must stop badmouthing the country. Zuma said it is important that all South Africans work towards the initiative of avoiding a credit downgrade at the end of the year and thus must stop negative criticism. People will not listen to Zuma, who as a leader has placed the country into a doomed situation.

It is all wrong for people to badmouth South Africa and it causes damage to the reputation of the country so says the leader who has caused more damaged than its ordinary citizens. Therefore, does Zuma want people to lie and tell stories of how satisfactory the situation is in the country? Must a picture be painted of how perfect life is for the people and how prosperous the situation is? Must the people lie about the crime and violence, the terror and rape, the murders and robberies?

It is not necessary for the people to execute anything, or recite the true stories about the current situation Zuma has done it all. The president’s actions and performance have caused more harm to the land, than what the ordinary people say.

Zuma is saying that people should stop the negative stories, but in fact, Zuma appearing with Pravin Gordhan is a show to impress investors who do not have confidence in him. Zuma should do the honorable thing and resign and that will boost the investor confidence.

Perhaps it is a little too late for Zuma, calling on people and business to remain silent. Perhaps businesses should unite and demand that Zuma steps down and that a transparent leader who is free from corruption lead the country.

The repeated crises have raised question marks over whether the country’s leaders have the ability to do their jobs and what motivates them, according to Ivor Sarakinsky, a lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand’s School of Governance.

“There is a clear lack of national leadership,” said Theo Venter, a political analyst at North West University in Potchefstroom, west of Johannesburg. “The governing party is like a headless chicken. We are in a leadership quagmire.”

There we have it, a governing party who is like a headless chicken, now we know why South Africa can be downgraded, and it will not be the citizens’ fault but the one and only President Zuma. Unfortunately, a downgrade will affect the honest, law-abiding citizens and that is the tragedy. On the other hand, a downgrade could mean that Zuma and the headless chicken governing party will squander the last of the resources until the once abundant South Africa becomes another poor African country.
