SOUTH AFRICA: THE SINS OF THE FATHERS – PART I
Despair
South Africa - what a hell hole? Or is it not?
Max Du Preez, a social commentator who has taken quite a bit of time to understand what he is dealing with writes in March this year and asks “What has become of the ANC?”
Prince Mashele and Mzukisis Qobo wrote a book entitled “The Fall of the ANC – What next?” One of the pertinent questions asked is if the ANC was ever ready to govern? John Kane – Berman writes in March this year; “Naught for your comfort as they loot the beloved country.”
All of these commentators express a sense or anxiety and urgency about the happenings in the RSA. While apartheid is still being blamed, the sins of the fathers? Will South Africa ever be able to stand on their own is the question to ask. Apartheid as a social experiment became a complete failure when the authorities searched to entrench it in stone. Rule one, nothing is ever written in stone, except life and death.
However, there are past references to the fact that South Africa has got to answer to, about the moneys received from the USA and the Libyan money which had gone missing.
In all these issues there have been syndicates in action stemming from the old South Africa, pre 1994 and the new South Africa, post 1994. Whilst their actions impact on society as a whole, they have not been exposed as such and so let us delve a little deeper.
The Five Star Trusts (“Five Stars”) was the medium through which the alleged billions of dollars were flowing to South Africa for infrastructural development. At the top of all these dealings allegations are that this all happened during the time of former President Thabo Mbeki. The names of Jesse Duarte, Tokyo Sexwale and Cyril Ramaphosa are mentioned. The real fact is that money had disappeared, and even the USA authorities are starting to explore as to what happened.
But this goes much further as the following names have also been added to these allegations:
John Duarte – brother of Jesse Duarte, Razien Dangor, Christo Kriek, Louis Andrello, Carlos Ardasa, Tito Mboweni – previous Governor of the Reserve Bank, Trevor Manuel-previous Minister of Finance, Maria Ramos – current CEO of Transnet where she stripped the pension fund which is now a case before the court for the repayment of some R 80 billion, Michael Blackbeard – Senior official at the Reserve Bank, Chris Stals – previous Governor of the Reserve Bank, Gill Marcus – current governor of the Reserve Bank, Johan De Jager – Legal Department Reserve Bank, Johan Ruper from Stellenbosch Rob Burrows – Director Reserve Bank, Michael Solomon, Martin Landman, Michael Katz, Lennie Katz, Sybrand Van Der Spuy, Col Marion Horn, Christo Wiese, Mike Brown – Nedbank, Tom Boardman – Nedbank.
The same people are also alleged to have been involved to a larger or a lesser degree in the vanishing of the Gaddafi money. The Gaddafi money was apparently handled under the AU’s (African Union) auspices. Personnel and consultants were provided with diplomatic cover from the AU according to reliable sources.
In this regard, it must be borne in mind that the British MI6 had always been extremely well entrenched in Libya. Many Libyans had been recruited as MI6 agents. Especially during the time of the Afghans fighting against the Russian invaders.
It is alleged that the rise of Gaddafi was due to the role of MI6. MI6 was also involved in the movement of the Gaddafi moneys as well as the financing of the oil explorations of the African continent. The Tar sands project in Canada is another project that was financed by Gaddafi. All of these investments were routed via British companies.
In the South African context, people such as F W De Klerk were linked to MI6.
General Hankel of the SAPS is also acutely strongly linked. Hankel has been linked as the handler of Thabo Mbeki, who apparently was recruited during his lengthy stay in the UK. Mbeki has been known as a connoisseur of the abundant life and was referred to as the Covent Garden Guerrilla due to his passion for opera of which he attended many an opera at Covent Garden. A certain Sam Buthelezi has been linked to the network which ran through to Matthews Phosa, Bob Mhlangu, Willem Lötter, Herman Crause at the SA Intelligence Service, and Lord Renwick, MI6 at its best.
In the SANDF, the link was taken to Lindiwe Sisulu, apparently a known thief and thug and trained by the former STASI (East German Intelligence). Gen Gagiano, former Chief of the SA Air Force was also implicated. They are not the only people. The network seems to be enormous and include many role players.
The SA Reserve Bank had been implicated in many dodgy deals. In receipt of some of the hundreds of billions of US dollars of the Gaddafi moneys which were signed in by one Shaun Abrahams at the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) whence he gave agents of SARS indemnity, which he did not even possess, thereby rendering such indemnity useless. The same Reserve Bank is also implicated in the movement of Gaddafi moneys to the Bank of Athens.
The question ultimately is whether there is any confirmation in all of these allegations. Prince Mashele and Mzukisi Qobo write in their book, “ The Fall of the ANC “ on Page 48 as follows : “In addition to all this, De Klerk and his henchmen depleted state coffers towards the end of apartheid in the early 1990s. Terreblanche comments During De Klerk’s tenure of the presidency from 1989 until 1994, the deficit increased from R 91,2 billion to R 237billion (in current prices).”
On page 207 of the same book, they say the following: “The dictatorship of money has seized complete hold of ANC cadres, and our society is suffering the consequences.”
So, ultimately what is fiction and what not?
The sins of the fathers……
This is only the beginning, so much more to tell.

South Africa 2014 Election - Free and Fair?
On April 27, 1994 South Africa held its first democratic election. The whole process took three days to complete, and people who never had the opportunity to vote before, stood for hours and days in queues to cast their vote of freedom.
Was this election free and fair? What actually happened during the counting process, and was there ever a true reflection of the outcome. No, there was none. The 1994 election was a brokered deal between the main contenders at that time, The National Party (NP) (the former apartheid regime), the African National Congress (ANC) (ruling party today) and some right wing parties and liberation struggle smaller parties.

Link to South Africa 2014 Elections Focus on Free and Fair
The true democracy of elections does not matter when the political parties have the power to dominate and reach amicable agreements with opposition parties. Why waste all the money on an election when the ruling party already has the result of the election?
Does this happen all over the world or only in South Africa.

South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land - THE END
This post will be the last in the series South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land. We will continue with our truthful findings and begin a new powerful series South Africa Sins of the Fathers.
South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land - The End
Erasmus has been involved in various issues. During the late 1990's, he was the deponent in court cases against the Municipalities in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Ekurhuleni. All these matters dealt with tender irregularities. Despite the process of delaying from the Municipalities’ sides, Erasmus was always on the side that was vindicated. At that stage already, he was starting to become worried as to the preference afforded to the Municipalities, as organs of state, by the courts.
Unnecessary delays with the resultant cost implications. Erasmus made it abundantly clear that in the court case by ABSA’s Cash Paymaster Services (CPS) (Pty)Ltd for the tender to administer the payment of grants of behalf of SASSA (SA Social Security Agency) that the tender was from the beginning highly circumspect. It took the Constitutional Court to clarify the situation, namely that there were serious irregularities involved in the awarding of this tender to Net1, the winning bidder. Why did it have to take so long? Do the aggrieved directors and shareholders of ABSA’s CPS have a claim against the directors and shareholders of Net1 for damages? In all probability, yes. Net1 is a listed company in New York.
Erasmus was involved in the Madhlopa commission of Inquiry into irregularities at the Highveld District Municipality in Middelburg, Mpumalanga in 1999/2000 after he was one of the vociferous complainants to then Pres Thabo Mbeki in respect of the tender irregularities. In the final report of the Madhlopa Commission, he is referred to as the man for democracy who is not afraid to go the extra mile or two. Erasmus was also the last investigator and author of the report into the irregularities pertaining to the Mbombela Soccer Stadium prior to the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa. He was scathing as to the role played by the National Treasury. This report is the story, which supposedly led to the murder of Jimmy Mohlala, the Speaker at the Mbombela Municipality in Nelspruit. The investigation by the Hawks – the dodgy special investigation unit under control of the SAPS and the DPSA (Directorate Public Prosecutions, Division of the NPA – National Prosecuting Authority) has come to naught. Various actions were brought to derail these investigations, as to the legality thereof, the authorities do not seem to interested in finalizing this issues, such as many other matters!
During the early 1990’s Iran and Iraq was embroiled in a war in which the USA was providing the Iraqis with satellite info to counter the Iranian aggression. In this war, the Iranians had pushed and became entangled in the marshes at Basra. In this battle, the Iraqis killed 10 000 Iranians with the help of South African manufactured G5 cannons and their 155mm ammunition.
South Africa had supplied the G5 guns and ammunition to Saddam Husain as part of a deal brokered by the CIA from the USA and the Mossad from Israel. This agreement was made in order to provide South Africa oil in exchange for these artillery pieces that proved to be so effective. In the whole transaction, there was one key player, ARMSCOR – the State owned procurement entity that has been involved in may a shady dealing.
Armscor as the state’s procurement agency pertaining to defense has always relied on the secrecy provisions in the legislation in order to hide their nefarious activities. In this respect the infamous incident of Jorge Pinol, who secured helicopters for the RSA and who was screwed out of his commission? Any and every court action has been sabotaged to such an extent that Pinol will have extreme difficulty in obtaining his dues.
During October 1987 through to June 1988, the South Africans were busy fighting in Angola in order to take Quito Cuanavale. The South Africans had some 9000 troops deployed in the theatre of war. This case was allegedly in support of Jonas Savimbi, the leader of the opposition, UNITA. At this stage, there was already a atmosphere of unease amongst white South Africa as to the duration, and the cost of this excursion, linked to the local unrest with the ANC supporters trying to make the country ungovernable. The South Africans had lost air superiority due to the Cubans deploying in their MiG fighters. There was an increasing sensitivity to the death of soldiers’ lives that were forced ‘by law’ to partake in a stint of national service.
The allegations were that the black troops under the South Africans’ control were also becoming restless, as the South Africans did not seem to assured of a definitive victory. This whilst the Angolans were receiving massive sources of support from the Cubans and the Russians.
The South Africans were growing more and more attentive at this point and surmised that if the situation was not brought under control, the Angolans with the Russian and Cuban help would invade Namibia and be in charge of such by Easter 1988.
At this stage, South Africa had already built six atom bombs, but they lacked the guidance devices for the delivery thereof. In this regard, this was done with Israeli assistance. The Israelis nevertheless, had developed guidance systems at their facilities at Demona, in the Negev desert. They had agreed thereupon to ensure that the South Africans could procure two of these systems. In all these issues, Armscor was central. The President of the RSA at this stage, Mr. P W Botha via his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Pik Botha issued an ultimatum to the Angolans. If the Angolans were not free of the Cubans and Russians by 31 December 1987, Luanda would be a nuclear wasteland on 1 January 1988.
This was indeed now reaching levels of desperation. However, Israel could not be seen to be supplying these guidance systems directly to the RSA. If this had become public knowledge, it would have become politically disastrous for both the Israelis and the USA, who clearly supplied know how to the Israelis. In order to create a cut out the decision was apparently taken to ship these guidance systems via Taipei, Taiwan with whom the RSA had close relations. The guidance systems might have reached the RSA in a roundabout way. In this regard, Armscor was to handle all these arrangements. To this effect, they still have their own freight division until today, which is called AB Logistics. This is what in all probability led to the downing of the SAA Helderberg with all lives on board. The Helderberg, a 747-244 Combi ZS-SAS belonging to SA Airways crashed some 270 km off the Island of Mauritius with the loss of all souls on board.
Speculation has been rife as to what could have been the case hereof.
One rumor doing the rounds, was about the ammonium perchlorate on board, a devilishly unstable and dangerous propellant for use in rocket fuel. This seemed to have been a smoke screen set out by the RSA authorities. SOMCHEM, at that point an Armscor subsidiary, was already manufacturing this ammonium perchlorate since 1985 as a propellant for use in the rocket assisted 155 mm ammunition fired by the G5 guns. This would increase the range of these guns to 83 kilometers, an absolute advantage. Always the name of Armscor pops up. However, the most likely scenario would have been that it was the two guidance systems that have been on board of the Helderberg that brought it down.
When the news of the Helderberg down reached the RSA authorities, a Navy strike craft was ordered at breakneck speed from Simonstown naval base to Mauritius whence the XO (Executive Officer) on board was one Johnny Kamerman. The same Kamerman was to play a future role in the notorious Arms Scandal, which is today the subject of a Commission of Enquiry into the said scandal. Kamerman eventually ended up leaving the SA Navy and working for the German consortium, which supplied the extremely expensive submarines to the RSA.
Armscor at this time was tasked with obtaining and supplying to the military whatever they required in the war with the Angolans. In this regard, the employees at Armscor grasped the lesson exceptionally fast and also came to realize that there were opportunities for themselves in order to secure a future for themselves and their families. It must be clearly understood that not all employees at Armscor were imbued with such unethical and criminal intent. Armscor was using SAA aircraft to transport dangerous munitions in this sanctions busting era. Should this had become widely known, no country would allow SAA landing rights or even over flights rights at the time.
What is most compelling is that immediately after the crash of the Helderberg, the Mount Plaisance Airport in Mauritius was closed, and an American C141 landed with the latest submersible. Simultaneously also the German Oceanographic vessel chartered by SAA and Boeing was waved off and could only commence with their search some 12 hours later. It would appear that the Americans had found the Helderberg and its cargo and retrieved the guidance systems, which was never mentioned in any press reports until only years later.
The fact of the matter is that the Captain of the Helderberg seems to have been threatened at various stages. He could have landed anywhere along the route, i.e. Diego Garcia, an island used by the USA for surveillance operations. He did not, and it would appear as the RSA authorities were reluctant to have this knowledge become public, as the international repercussions would have been severe! They would most likely have had civilians die and cover it up.
Although the ANC government wished to re-open the matter, it was shut down. The only logical explanation thereto can be, is because the Government would be liable for damages running into their billions.
Yet it is Armscor, which is central to all these issues!

South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land - Part 10
Part 10 - the continued story about cuckoo land
In February 2014, Pres Zuma awarded medals to the soldiers who were in CAR as well as to the families of those so killed. A highly controversial award was also made on the day. The Major who deserted his post in the fighting and crawled up under a tree to cry was awarded a medal. The troops of the units that were in Bangui on that day are terribly upset and have threatened to return their medals.
However, it’s the same Maphiyanwha and Smit who instigated a fire storm against Erasmus and Company. In this regard, their pitiful soldiering leaves much to desire and can only make them a laughing stock of the world. This despite SA Special Forces being populated with many brave soldiers who have already done more than their share. It is the same Maphiyanwha who have lost three laptops with all the sensitive information of the Special Forces on it. Yet, no charges had been brought against the drunken lout! The question to ask is whom he sold it to.
Maphiyanwha and Smit had set out to tarnish Erasmus and company as Boeremag, an issue Erasmus and co did not take kindly to. This was an old tactic employed by these two despicable louts. Thereafter they roped in Armscor who had been shown up by Erasmus and co, who fabricated stories and sold it to their comrades at SARS in order to destroy Erasmus and co. Upon turning to the courts, Erasmus found that the courts were bending backwards in order to satisfy the criminal behavior of these persons. Upon further delving into these situations, Erasmus and co found that the remnants of the CCB (Civil Cooperation Bureau) were behind all of this.
In creating bogus threats, it would seem as if these scoundrels would be protecting the country from threats inside the borders. In particular, the threats emanate from these people. By creating these fake threats, they only succeeded in casting the nets in the wrong direction and leaving the country vulnerable. To what one may ask? Whatever one might see in one’s own nightmares would be a reasonable reply.
The GCHQ template has been used with proper aplomb by these criminals in the employ of the State here in the RSA. At the SSA, one Herman Crause was identified as being one of the main instigators of the so called Boeremag threat. In this regard, a certain Genl Hankel in the SAPS had been identified as an MI6 agent, the handler of Thabo Mbeki when he was President. He has surrounded himself with electronic systems, the best and the latest available. As to whether these devices have been deployed within, the ambit of the legislation is a question that still has to be answered. It also makes sense as to how, and why the GCHQ templates would emerge against innocent persons in the RSA, as an MI6 agent Genl Hankel would surely have access to such systems emanating from within the British Intelligence community.
Instead of deploying such against the enemies of the RSA, it has been deployed in order to steal business.
On 14 March 2012, all the weapons brought into the RSA for demonstration and testing purposes, stored in SASF bunkers under a valid contract was confiscated by the Hawks. Maphiyanwha was the driving force in this regard. As has been seen earlier, he has a lot to answer for. Until today, none of the allegations raised against Erasmus and co could have been proven, as there never was any veracity thereto.
On 4 December 2012, the houses of Erasmus and his co-directors were raided as well as the offices of NGAM. In this regard, the affidavits of Vanessa Du Toit, the Director for the compliance at the NCACC were used for the warrants. Again, no allegations could be substantiated against Erasmus and co. However, their business was crippled and the dark forces in play had set out to destroy them. Members of Defense Intelligence and Crime Intelligence had set out to destroy their business. Their computers and documents were carted off. Their business contacts had been contacted by these people. All in keeping with the GCHQ template!
If ever there was a case of unbridled theft by abusing the law, then this is it. It goes further, Armscor called a new tender for East Bloc weapons, which closed on 14 January 2014. Erasmus had made it clear to Armscor in a letter that he holds the representation for quite a time. However, one Eytan Nevo who works for Bidvest and represents a company called ATL-SA, entered into a contract with Armscor for the supply of these weapons despite there being a Joint Venture agreement with NGAM that is of an open ended nature. In this regard, a delegation had visited Bulgaria in March in order to inspect the weapons. This despite Nevo informing Erasmus that there would be no dealings with Armscor. Erasmus is also aware that Nevo has been throughout in contact with Maphiyanwha.
What a cesspool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN ADDITION, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO DEFEND SOUTH AFRICA.
LORD HAVE MERCY ON ALL OF US!

On 4 December 2012, the houses of Erasmus and his co-directors were raided as well as the offices of NGAM. In this regard, the affidavits of Vanessa Du Toit, the Director for the compliance at the NCACC were used for the warrants. Again, no allegations could be substantiated against Erasmus and co. However, their business was crippled and the dark forces in play had set out to destroy them. Members of Defense Intelligence and Crime Intelligence had set out to destroy their business. Their computers and documents were carted off. Their business contacts had been contacted by these people. All in keeping with the GCHQ template!
If ever there was a case of unbridled theft by abusing the law, then this is it. It goes further, Armscor called a new tender for East Bloc weapons, which closed on 14 January 2014. Erasmus had made it clear to Armscor in a letter that he holds the representation for quite a time. However, one Eytan Nevo who works for Bidvest and represents a company called ATL-SA, entered into a contract with Armscor for the supply of these weapons despite there being a Joint Venture agreement with NGAM that is of an open ended nature. In this regard, a delegation had visited Bulgaria in March in order to inspect the weapons. This despite Nevo informing Erasmus that there would be no dealings with Armscor. Erasmus is also aware that Nevo has been throughout in contact with Maphiyanwha.
What a cesspool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN ADDITION, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO DEFEND SOUTH AFRICA.
LORD HAVE MERCY ON ALL OF US!
South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land - Part 9
Before continuing with the story PART 9, it is important to share the following information :
Thanks to Edward Snowden the whole world knows what’s been happening at the National Security Agency (NSA) in America. The interception and the targeting of organisations and individuals etc.
In February 2014, The Intercept and NBC News released several GCHQ documents detailing the agency’s propaganda and deception tactics.
GCHQ
"The Doughnut", the headquarters of the GCHQ.
The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) is a British intelligence agency responsible for providing signals intelligence (SIGINT) and information assurance to the British government and armed forces. Based in "The Doughnut", in the suburbs of Cheltenham, it operates under the formal direction of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) alongside the Security Service (MI5), the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and Defense Intelligence (DI). GCHQ is the responsibility of the UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, but it is not a part of the Foreign Office and its Director ranks as a Permanent Secretary.
GCHQ was originally established after the First World War as the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) and was known under that name until 1946. During the Second World War, it was located at Bletchley Park, where it was famed for its role in the breaking of the German Enigma codes. Currently there are two main components of the GCHQ, the Composite Signals Organization (CSO), which is responsible for gathering information, and the CESG, which is responsible for securing the UK's own communications. The Joint Technical Language Service (JTLS) is a small department and cross-government resource responsible for mainly technical language support and translation and interpreting services across government departments. It is co-located with GCHQ for administrative purposes.
The following is fascinating to note from these published documents.
The first document deals with the covert tactics to discredit a target, which are as follows:
• Set up a honey-trap
• Change their photos on social networking sites
• Write a blog purporting to be one of their victims
• Email/text their colleagues, neighbors, friends etc.
The second document deals with the following in order to discredit a company:
• Leak confidential information to companies/the press via blogs etc.
• Post negative information on appropriate forums
• Stop deals / ruin business relationships

PART 9
In this regard, a South African Company, NGAM and its directors had fallen foul of these tactics employed against them by inter alia the South African State Security Agency (SSA), The Defense Intelligence of the SANDF, SARS (The Revenue Service) , The NCACC (The National Conventional Arms Control Committee), The HAWKS, a specialized investigation unit of the SAPS, etc.
All of these agencies so mentioned are staffed by people who have no idea what they are doing, except to promote evil and to turn the RSA into a deadly cesspool. The Company’s Johan Erasmus and his co- directors had won a tender to supply East Block weapons to SA Special Force via Armscor, the State procurement company notorious for leading discrepancies. After winning the contract, they experienced unprecedented disruption pertaining to the delivery of this contract. Even until today they have been short paid by Armscor, for a small business this represents a death knell!
Due to the sabotage from Armscor’s side and massive breaches of contract, the damages could exceed much more than a billion rand! Erasmus and company delivered. Not only were they short paid by Armscor, Armscor had also failed to pay the import duties on some of the weapons which led to the SA Forces in the Central African Republic (CAR) being outgunned. Armscor was also the creators of a brand new alphabet, the latest delivery as per the Letter of Credit was stated as 30 November 2011. Erasmus and company had delivered the second plane’s cargo on 31 October 2011. A month early! However, Armscor raised penalties for late delivery. After showing to Armscor that November comes after October and not vice versa, Armscor waived the penalties but still insist that such penalties are due.
Not only is Armscor part and parcel of failure as to what happened in the CAR where the South Africans had lost 15 troops, but the officials involved in these weapons being held under SARS control for not paying the moneys due to SARS, should be charged with culpable homicide. Erasmus had written as such to the President, Mr. Jacob Zuma, but nothing seems to have happened.
Prior to elaborating on the experiences of Erasmus and NGAM as per the GCHQ strategy documents. The charge against Erasmus and Company was led by the Military Police’s AB Chavenduka under the guidance of Col DBT Smit from SA Special Forces. Smit is the senior staff officer research and has been promoted way above his competencies. When Smit and Brig Genl Rudzani Maphiyanwha, the Officer Commanding SA Special Forces they set a train in motion based on the principles as encapsulated in the GCHQ documents.
Brig Genl Maphiyanwha is the very same person who has been posted as a political command to SA Special Forces. In effect, he is actually a lovely person although extremely corrupt! The allegations are that during March of this year he had a delegation visiting SA Special Forces from China. One of the places he wanted to show them is the Urban Fighting Centre, known as the Killing House- an impressive hub located at SA Special Forces School.
CASPIR ON DRY LAND
During this period, Pretoria experienced a lot of rain, at an unusually high rate and the rivers were bursting their banks. En route, they had to cross a river to the killing house. The delegation climbed into a Caspir APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) and set off to the killing house. In this process, they had to cross a river that was already running high over its banks. On the instruction of Maphiyanwha, the driver set off and continued onto a steel bridge over the river. At this, the Caspir was flooded with Chinese visitors taking their clothes off and swimming out. Maphiyanwha could not swim and climbed onto the roof of the Caspir from where he was rescued by helicopter and hospitalized for trauma! The photo shows the Caspir caught in the river’s overflow with just its roof sticking out. Would it not have been cheaper to have left Maphiyanwha there until the river subsided and he could walk out? This is the description on leadership prevalent in the SANDF today.
CASPIR DURING THE FLOODS
Another telling point is that in CAR, the Intelligence officer from SSA and the DI (Defense) had been sitting tailoring their reports on the veranda of the Hotel in Bangui, the Capital of CAR. According to their reports as it had been alleged, they concluded that the Seleka rebels were a ragtag bunch armed with AK – 47’s and wooden clubs. In fact, the Seleka’s were joined by Chadian Special Forces and had quite a number of “technicals” in their possession. Technicals are light trucks, and in this case, they were armored with twin barrel ZU 23x152 mm guns. Formidable weapons and certainly not wooden clubs!
It was also alleged that when the commander on the ground requested Artillery, Mortar bombs and other equipment, that it was refused based on the fact of the intelligence reports provided by the drinking brothers in Bangui. The result thereof is that some 15 SANDF soldiers died as no indirect fire could be brought to bear by the mortars and the artillery as there was none. This would have prevented in all likelihood the unnecessary deaths of the SANDF soldiers. If the Selekea commander did not stop, the fighting over 200 South African soldiers would have been slaughtered. What was the South Africans doing there? This question has not yet been answered although the returning soldiers all had to sign confidentiality documents as to their stay in CAR. It would not be amiss to all that CAR had to protect private business investment. In this regard, the apparent elimination of January Masilela, a former Secretary of Defense, relating to a bungled deal of uranium deposits could jolly well be an indication of what’s been going on.
