SOUTH AFRICA – CUCKOO LAND: AN EVIL CESSPOOL?
South Africa has always been known as a country which punched far above its weight.
Such a miserable country which produced heroes in the World Wars, International acclaim in the Arts, Medicines, IT etc.
What’s gone wrong? Father Stofile, a Previous premier of the Eastern Cape claimed that if the USA had too much to say about the athlete Castor Semenya at the time that it would lead to a Third World War. How bloody stupid you can be. This refrain is one which will be highlighted throughout. Indeed examples will be shown of how South Africa is sinking into an evil cesspool!
The current President of the RSA, Jacob Zuma was one of the few Zulus in the struggle, now that the Zulus have started enriching themselves, they are all supporting the ANC(African National Congress) to the exclusion of everyone else and by utilising the professed Intelligence Services of the RSA. A country on the verge of collapsing and drowning in the cesspool created by itself. Instead of focusing on foreign aspects, locally on lack of service delivery, the intelligence services in the RSA is being utilised in order to steal businesses for the so-called elite. The claim that BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) is a cornerstone of their policy. However, the Black mass is not shaping up as the refrain is always, “we want a little money...” This is where the bitterness and the xenophobia come in as the lazy locals just want to steal. The Police in the RSA are an ineffective instrument of the State, currently being utilised to steal and to steal and to steal. The legal system is so compromised that there is a unusually little chance of ever obtaining justice.
In order to highlight these aspects, I shall continue with situations which are all too familiar in order to validate as to what’s happening and as to why the RSA is becoming a cesspool. In France at the time of the killing of Moumar Gaddafi, the local arms company in France belonging to the State, Nexter, gave then President Zarkouzy a Billion Euros in order to get rid of Gaddafi. The reason thereto that they would be in the forefront of new contracts with the new Libyan regime for massive orders. At this time, Gaddafi’s moneys were moved to the RSA, billions of dollars, hundreds of billions!!! Names such as Nissim Dangor, Jesse Duarte and her brother, as well as the Dockrats were mentioned, as to the truth thereto, who will know!! However, a certain Abrahams – working for the National Prosecuting Authority have been implicated assigning these moneys into South Africa, whence apparently a lot of it had gone missing. Allegations have surfaced that some of this money was used to build a highway to Pres Zuma’s compound at Nkandla in Kwazulu Natal. Also, an agent of the State Security Agency (SSA), a alleged Intelligence establishment of a decidedly dubious character whereby a majority of them has been compromised by foreign services or otherwise just sold their allegiance to whoever would give them money. Firstly it has been rumoured that this agent, George Darmanovitch has received some Euro 25 million stemming from the Gaddafi moneys. The question is therefore who else has received moneys from the Gaddafi stash and whether it was legal?
The Prime Minister in Libya in 2012/2013, Ali Zeidan was trying to put his hands on these moneys via the South Africans. His cousin was the charge d’affaires at the Libyan Embassy in Pretoria. All communications would go through him, and even some of it was allegedly falsified. The previous ambassador, AL-Zubaydi, had build up a network of the usual scoundrels so implicated in the disappearance of the Gaddafi moneys. What is clear however is that the SA Reserve Bank had played a key role in this whole fracas? In this regard, a certain Blackbeard at the Reserve Bank has got a lot to answer. This is the same Blackbeard which has been implicated in the stealing of 60% of the rights of the RSA‘s coal reserves for a miniscule amount and transferred overseas.
He has also been implicated in the Pinnacle Point debacle whereby the people so involved had been extremely much the same so implicated in the Tollgate saga. The Police are unfit to be able to do anything. It would seem as if only the right of the criminals count, truly a smelly affair, and not of peaches. A cesspool?

South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land - Part 4
South Africa living in Cuckoo Land - Part 4
Yes I know, already published part 1, part 2, part 5 and part 6. Number 4 is missing and here it is.
In the matric exams 2013, a pass rate of 30% was held out with the possibility of decreasing of the pass rate to 20%. According to Prof Habib at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) some 50% of the students that obtained honours in the matric exams, had failed to pass the entrance exams at the University. This is another example of the lack within the entire system in the RSA, not just education. The President’s claim to education was that he was at school – doing what? A wily political animal, but no substance – for how long will South Africa still be charmed by the naked emperor. A new concern is the circulation of communication instructing teachers not to fail students no matter what their exam marks total. Education is free, and you are guaranteed a pass rate.
Various sources within the security cluster have reported two premiers of the Northern Provinces, Sello Motale and DD Mabuza of Mpumalanga were caught with cash money. Approximately R16 million was staked in the fireplace at the home of Mabuza and equal amount stashed in a forest close to the home of Motale. Both parties pledged their affiliation to President Zuma and were not charged.
There is the rumor that the road built toward Nkandla, Zuma’s homestead could have been financed by Gaddafi money. Nobody talks about this money and it was during 2010 when Zuma and Gaddafi arranged a meeting. Apparently Gaddafi’s money was sent to South Africa. This secretative operation was headed by Defense Intelligence (DI) General Shilobane, who acted promptly under the authority and control of the ruling party, the ANC. US Dollars, gold and diamonds were part of the consignment entrusted to South African government.
Gaddafi is linked to the financing of the oil exploration operations which culminated in viable oil deposits being found in the following places – Malawi –In the lake, Tanzania – off shore and in the lake bordering Malawi, Kenya – off shore, Mozambique – north of Beira, Namibia – off shore, Ghana – off shore and doubling their capacity. The moments these fields would come into production it would have an impact on the regional political and economical aspects but also in the international sphere. Gaddafi would have had an exceptionally strong standing.
However, we all know that he is no more. A reason for his killing is lined to the above mentioned issue. Not only this, President Zarkosy of France at the time had also struck an agreement with the Touaregs in Mali that he would assist them in claiming an independent homeland in Mali, in the northern part thereof where the French company Aviva was mining for uranium. In return, the Touareg had to help kill Gaddafi.
Operation Serval was launched by the French to protect the assets of France within that area and to establish order, and they had not been factored to the Al Qaeda role.
Zuma is an African with revered standing. He is however, due to his unbridled passion for wealth, also from the side of his relatives, is leading to his downfall. The entire South African system is failing and nothing is functioning as it should. South Africa is de facto a corrupt hellhole with pockets of decency. In the “Business Day” a local newspaper in the RSA David Gleason wrote the following in his story “Torque” –“How this gangrenous portion of the African National Congress’s (ANC) body politic has been permitted to get away with its endless larceny defies explanation.” In this regard, he is refers to the lack of clean drinking water for local communities and where the Police (SAPS) have killed some of the local people in riots. This is not an isolated incident. It is happening throughout the country. Zuma is lacking leadership; this is the argument that pervades all discussion in the country at this stage.
Zuma was the head of the ANC’s Intelligence Arm in exile (DIS.) Zuma is and was linked to quarto camps in Angola, the place where many comrades had been killed. (Read the works of ANTHEA Jeffries and Paul Trewhela in relation to this.) There are to allegations Thabo Mbeki had a son who vanished in these camps. Mbeki still holds Zuma accountable for this disappearance.
The Zulus is a proud nation who has seen the potential in creating a new economic hub in Kwazulu Natal. They have diverse seaports through which they can stimulate exports. Richards’s bay is the opening through which the most coal is exported from South Africa. Therefore, the Zulus are in a unique position to have an important impact on the South African economic scene with long term sustainability. However, if this unfettered self destruction is not checked and overturned the hopes of the Zulu people will come to nought.
Thabo Mbeki has made statements against so – called tribalism. However, the Eastern Cape, homeland of the Xhosa people and destination of Mbeki’s largesse as President has not gone forward, but rather declined. The failure of local government in the provision of services due to the lack of capability, lack of accountability, lack of pride and honor at any time is ever increasing. People are paid huge salaries, but they are not able to deliver the services to the people of the land.
South Africa has become a feeding frenzy, even the opposition parties are engulfed in such. The Congress of the People (COPE) leader Terror Lekota had been implicated in scandals ranging from the Iranian Cell phone issue with MTN. The First Consult reported an allegation into the irregular export of South African manufactured Infantry Fighting Vehicles (The Ratels). Thus in criticising the government, he is not doing it with clean hands – he is a known Mbeki acolyte. It’s all about money, not to create wealth, but to squander!
There are no answers to the Gaddafi’s billions. Will the Libyan government take action against the South African government in the International forum? Did Gaddafi’s money go elsewhere, perhaps to support neighbouring countries faltering economies? There are many questions, few answers. Did Gaddafi’s gold, some of 50metric ton of it end up in the UK in order to create a credit facility at Barclays for a South African bank? Who were involved in such? Has the South African government become nothing else than a thieving cabal set out to frame its own citizens in order to steal?

South Africa White Genocide Escalates: International Groups Seek Solution
South Africa White Genocide Escalates: International Groups Seek Solution
The daily escalation of murders in and around South Africa has drawn recognition from International groups seeking a solution for this crisis. The term genocide is the deliberate killing of large groups of people of a particular race or ethnic group. The country’s whites are the victims of racial killings spiraling out of control. The pointless and often brutal slayings have no agenda or motive by the attackers and often it is the innocent, elderly, and young who become victims.
Americans against White Genocide in South Africa,a group based in America, with the intention of seeking world attention on the white minority has lodged a claim with the International Criminal Courts in The Hague against genocide of whites. The group has received an acknowledgement receipt of the complaint and now awaits further action.
Their claim of genocide includes the murders of farmers, men women, and children who have been tortured, raped, and then killed. It is estimated that since 1994 over 70,000 whites have been murdered in cruel and often horrifying ways. The murder rate is four times higher than that of the general population.

Here are a few more horrifying stories :
Father fights to death to protect his family
Mr Das Venter (45) of Cullinan, outside Pretoria, South Africa, was shot 4 times by black terrorists when he found them inside his house.
His wife was tied up after they ransacked the house.
Mr Venter managed to untie his wife's feet before he died.
A Police spokesperson said that they will "increase visibility" in the area.
It has been reported that the police in Cullinan has only 5 members with drivers licenses and that on the night of the murder, "they were too tired too patrol".

ANOTHER WHITE MAN MURDERED
Family finds dad’s body in morgue
The people who found him called an ambulance and he was taken to Tembisa Hospital where he died on March 4 as a result of severe head injuries
Roux van der Merwe | 25 March 2014 06:00
JOHAN van der Nest, whose body was discovered in Tembisa Hosptital's morgue ten days after he had been attacked and died in hospital.
THE body of a 50-year-old Birchleigh man, who was brutally attacked while walking home, was only found by his family 10 days after he went missing.
Since the death of Johan van der Nest, his daughter, Nicole Cunningham, has no answers to what had happened in the early hours of Saturday morning, March 1.
“All I know my father was walking home with a friend from Prime Time Sports Bar on Elgin Road where they have watched rugby. His friend lives close to the bar on Elgin Road and my father on Houtkapper Street. After seeing off his friend, he walked the rest of the way home alone. He must have been attacked between 1am and 4am,” she said.
He was found near the Engen Garage lying on the road at 4am. The people who found him called an ambulance and he was taken to Tembisa Hospital where he died as a result of severe head injuries on March 4.
He had no ID on him thus the hospital could not contact his next of kin.
Cunningham said her father loved sport. He was actually watching rugby at the pub the night he was murdered. He played golf and provincial softball and baseball.
“He was a very social person,” she said.
A post mortem was done and it was established that Van der Nest died of trauma to the head. It is suspected he was hit with a metal pipe or a blunt object.
Anyone with information regarding this horrendous crime, can call Cunningham on 072-288-0609.

Land Reform Issues in South Africa
Land reform is a serious concern in South African and many farmers are wondering how the May 2014 elections will affect their right of ownership. Julius Malema wants to nationalize the land, he said all land in South Africa must be owned by the state and people irrespective of race or creed would need to apply to government for use of land. A scary thought indeed.
A farmer in Kwazulu Natal sent me a story and asked a question. I don’t have an answer, do you?
Here is his story :
Laura,
Land distribution does this apply?
A farmer in the Lions River, Natal Midlands, and area owned a 2000 ha dairy farm.
He was successful dairy farmer based on rye grass, eragrostis, kykuyu, maize, lucerne and veld as his fodder source.
One day he divided his farm equally between his two sons. He managed to do it without any problems. He and his wife retired to live at the Coast.
The eldest son got married and had two children. The younger son got married and had five children.
Both sons were successful dairy farmers and were doing well.
13 years after they divided, the younger son approached his older brother. "We know you have two children, and I have five. We must divide our father's old farm again, done according to the number of children we have. . . "
The older brother was indignant. “ My wife and I knew that we only wanted two children. You decided to have five children. That was your choice. Go away and never bother me again. Finance your own children to have better education. We can afford Michael house and St. Anne's. Send yours to Maritzburg College and GHS (government schools), if you can afford it?"
Same with land reform/land redistribution. If Africans breed so fast and produce so many children, it does not mean they can take our farms away!
I have published several articles regarding the land reform issues in the Guardian LV.
South Africa Land Reform and Ownership Confusion
Confusion about the ownership and land reform in South Africa remains a key factor for the government. The African National Congress (ANC) ruling party under President Jacob Zuma does not know the exact figures of how much land is state-owned.
In a speech to Parliament, Jacob Zuma said that it was a priority to “dismantle” the landscape of apartheid, calling for an end to the practices which determined the working and living conditions of a population based on the color of their skin. His words described an ongoing process of reversing the apartheid legacy which included a review of the “willing buyer, willing seller” model in order to more equitably distribute land at an expedited pace. He also, in these statements, made reference to the use of the system of education in South Africa under apartheid to ensure “perpetual subjugation,” citing the words of Hendrik Verwoerd.

South Africa Land Claims a Damper on Agricultural Investment
It is becoming a matter of great public concern that agricultural investment is potentially set to suffer once more, as the land claims issue in South Africa rears its ugly head again. Before 1998, a total of 79,000 land claims were filed and more than 8,000 land claims have not been addressed, while the remainder have not been finalized. Over 39,000 commercial farmers have not come to terms with the handling of these claims.

Land Reform and Redistribution in South Africa
Since 1994, under the Nelson Mandela government, land reform and redistribution in South Africa remained a serious matter for the government to implement. Twenty years since the African National Congress (ANC) began to govern South Africa, there have been negotiations and plans to redistribute the land and implement reforms for the democratic society. Whenever an election is due, the ruling party and opposition parties will promise to develop the land reform process and speed up the redistribution. We have seen several attempts during the last twenty years which have failed.
In South Africa and over the past years reports have indicated that about thirteen percent of all land belongs to blacks. A more accurate prediction would be closer to fifty percent.
A substantial amount of land would remain in the farming communities, to change this would be selfish and unreasonable. Some fifteen years ago, there were over sixty thousand farmers in South Africa and today that figure barely reaches thirty thousand. Farmers have expanded their operations significantly over the past years in order to benefit from the growing economy and the supply and demand factor. The farming community remains a constant concern as more and more land is grabbed in illegal and questionable actions. The escalation of farm murders and implementation of broad based economic factors contribute to this disaster.

I am not sure if that will be the final cover, I might change the design. What do you think about this one?
Here is a brief synopsis :
Stories based on factual events from several different people who probably do not know each other. This is their story about the deep and traumatic secrets of past incidents hidden in their hearts and minds, forever tormenting and shadowing their present life.
The stories range from sexual abuse experienced as children, a rape story and some unsavory sexual happenings.
Rebecca, forever haunted by the memories of her past, tells us three stories about her strange childhood and shares the story of sexual abuse by her uncle at the age of six. She then tells the story of her first boyfriend at the tender age of nine and her traumatic pregnancy that changed her life forever.
Peggy gives a vivid account of her rape ordeal, the vile and horrific act that scarred her life. The story of a shocking and tormenting medical examination by local doctors, and a court case that never helped to ease her pain. A story of one night and how one incident changed her life.
Ruth shares an unexpected encounter of her fist sexual relationship with another woman.
Many other stories are recorded, some hilarious and some serious, but all entertaining.
Names and places are altered to protect the individuals concerned.
I will keep you updated with the progress. It is a giant step for me, this is so different from my 'normal' writing. I mean writing clean and decent non fiction to writing adult content. Its scary and I sincerely hope I have made the right choice to publish.
