Nuclear Deal for South Africa Spells Disaster
South Africa does not deal with medical waste efficiently, and uranium waste disposal remains a problem. The establishment of building another eight nuclear reactors might have the advantage of producing a more efficient power solution for the country based on the unhurried expansion of power plants over the last twenty years. A nuclear deal for South Africa spells disaster due to the incapacity to deal with medical waste problems, current uranium disposal methods and general lack of knowledge.

South Africa on an Express Train Toward Self Destruction Read more at http://guardianlv.com/2014/01/south-africa-on-an-express-train-toward-self-destruction/#P1sLbuALFPq4mMkS.99
The South Africa based security forces seem to be traveling on an express train heading toward self-destruction. Are the officials spiraling out of control or can they apply brakes and stop the carnage?
Max Du Preez, a highly controversial writer, writes in his book, A Rumor of Spring, published in November 2013, “Among the convicted criminals still serving in the SAPS were a Major General, 10 Brigadiers, 21 Colonels, 10 Majors, 43 Lieutenant-colonels, 163 Captains, 84 Lieutenants and 716 Warrant Officers.” (PG 195).
Not expected criminals but convicted criminals. This is the South African democracy in action. The country is being policed by criminals. While it has always been a part of Communist doctrine that a nation’s security forces should be emasculated, the current regime in South Africa is affecting such on the basis of protecting their ill gotten gains.
The majority of the people do not trust the South African Police Services (SAPS). The shootings at Marikana in August 2012 where 34 miners were killed are indicative of the gung-ho attitude pervading the SAPS. What nobody mentions the fact that behind the SAPS were soldiers. Is it true that these were troops from a parachute regiment and that they were armed with .50 Browning machine guns? So many questions remain unanswered. What would have happened if they were to become involved in the fracas? Was this an attempt to create a civil war in South Africa? What was the responsibility of Cyril Ramaphosa in this whole fracas?
Ramaphosa’s company Shanduka was the labor broker through which these mine-workers could get jobs at the mine. Allegations had been doing the rounds that two thirds of the miners salaries were withheld by Shanduka with only a third paid out.
Can this be the reason why mine workers were so disgruntled? These during a time of economic difficulty, who can afford to have two-thirds of their income, disappear in order to feed a fat cat so that he can buy an R20 million buffalo bull. The action exercised by the South African Security forces is definitely on an express train traveling toward self destruction.
The South African Police Services (SAPS) has a division called Crime Intelligence (CI). This unit has been most often in the news and for all the wrong reasons. In the matter of a Czech fugitive, Radowan Krecjir, officials from this unit have been pointed out as living comfortably off his largesse. The Commander of the unit in the East Rand admitted that he had benefited from a so called loan for R400,000 from one of Krecjir’s companies. Two junior ranks under Steyn benefited from the same largess, policemen driving around in Porsches. Even Miami Vice, the TV series is no patch for the realities of what is happening in the RSA.
The CI, along with the various Intelligence Services, called the State Security Agency (SSA) and Defense Intelligence (DI) are intercepting phone calls, internet communications and doing so without court orders. Snowden would be astounded as to what has been transpiring in the RSA. Raids are lodged on businesses in order to effectively steal the business from its rightful owners. Situations are created, and slander is circulated as gospel in order to tarnish the reputation of civilians whose businesses are of interest to these people. Nothing stands in isolation – if this is what is happening to citizens of South Africa, one could imagine as to what is happening to Embassies and foreign representatives communications. Is the express train to self destruction traveling to fast?
CI has tentacles spreading throughout the South African security community. In this regard, Johan Erasmus from a company called New Generation Arms Management (NGAM), which holds the South African agency for the Dillon Mini-gun which fires 3,000 rounds a minute was targeted by them. Erasmus had been targeted as a so called Boeremag by the South African Special Forces (SASF) due to his no nonsense approach when they tried to steal the contracts and representation from this company. Erasmus was approached at different times by a George Darmanovitch who tried to persuade Erasmus into illegal actions in order to compromise him. Actions such as trying to bribe officials in order to keep all the fabrications from inter alia Vanessa Du Toit from the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC) disappear.
According to Erasmus, this is not the way that things are to be done and he declined. He also holds the view that he is guilty only of performing and delivering on an Armscor contract (the state owned procurement agency for the defense force). Armscor had been pointed out at various instances as being a hotbed of unbridled corruption, even since the days from before 1994 when the ANC came into power. It was clearly an attempt at compromising Erasmus as they had nothing on him.
In this regard, NGAM’s business premises and its directors’ homes were raided on December 4, 2012 based on false affidavits by Vanessa Du Toit. All their computers were carted off with volumes of documentation. Nothing has been returned until today; although it has been noticed that their business information had been disseminated to their competitors as well as the state owned companies.
Even different court attempts by NGAM came to naught as it would appear that the judges in most cases were influenced, especially the Afrikaans speaking; white, male judges. Erasmus was warned that the judges would not help him due to his pointing these aspects out. His views are simple since when does he needs the help of judges, all they have to do is to commit to their duties. It is not about helping, it is all about performing one’s duties. Stop the express train and avoid self destruction.
Erasmus is targeted without a doubt, simply for not allowing criminals under the guise of the state to steal from him and his black partners. This story does not end here.
It is clear that this is not an isolated case. Economic terrorism is being waged by these people from CI, SASF and NPA against the government of the day. They thrive on blackmailing senior officials who have committed one or other indiscretion. They excel in slandering people whom they have targeted. They are misleading the government. It is the same people who are laying ambush after ambush for President Zuma to stumble into. Which of course he so dutifully does. This has been going on to such an extent that President Zuma is seen as a liability for the ANC in the upcoming general election.
When a network as devious as the one operating in South Africa pervades any society, it is clear that such a society is on an express train toward destruction, alas the days when Rome burnt.

Teachers Cannot Teach Children to Read in South Africa
Zuma speaks of improved education facilities and training in South Africa. The Democratic Alliance seem to think that teachers are not sufficiently trained to teach children to read. Rural schools have the most drop outs. Teachers text on their cell phone during lessons leaving the children to their own devices.
Here is the article published on the Guardian LV -
Here is the article published on the Guardian LV -
The Democratic Alliance (DA) official opposition party in South Africa issued a report saying that their teachers cannot teach children to read. According to the report, teacher training is not sufficient to ensure that children are taught to read. The act of instilling awareness of the importance of reading is absent.
Dr. Nick Taylor, CEO of the National Education Evaluation and Development Unit, presented his findings at an education conference and maintained that teachers were not specializing in English, the dominant medium of instruction. Teachers are not receiving adequate training to teach in English. Taylor admitted that, although a framework is in place, it lacks proper standards for teacher training. Taylor emphasized that no attempt has been made to control the standards at different universities in South Africa.
Annette Lovemore of the DA said that teachers who receive four years of training and are still not able to teach students to read should not be allowed. There is a total lack of competency by teachers who do not encourage students to read and infuse the desire for knowledge. It appears that teachers are poorly trained and cannot develop the additional skills required to educate the learners effectively.
The DA has raised the problem of education standards in South Africa and urgently seeks a response from the government regarding improving the fundamental right of children to learn to read. The President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, told a different story about the education standards implemented over the past 20 years. Zuma stated that steady progress has been made in the development of education. Zuma commented on the improvement in matric results over recent years, the provision of support by government and the need to increase teaching in mathematics and science.
At a meeting in Pretoria, Zuma said the African National Congress (ANC) has built modern school facilities with the aim of delivering a competent learning environment. Zuma stated that investment into the future of education is needed, and further educational facilities need to be developed. Zuma issued a call for teachers and principals to get further training in order to manage schools properly.

The Day the Music Died in South Africa
Competence and the Legal System
The South African Constitutional
Court in Case CCT 01/14 had delivered a judgment in which a white female,
Renate Barnard, could not be promoted in the South African Police Service (SAPS).
The reason in short was that she was not black!
Yip, the music died and has gone
to hell.
Therefore, competency does
not count. If someone decides that this becomes a policy, it will become the
Alpha and the Omega.
For a long while, there have
been rumors about judges in the South African legal system making the most
extraordinary rulings, rulings that do not fit any legal model or fairness.
What has become of South Africa? The rest of Africa is growing, wherever one
turns there is growth on the continent. However, in South Africa, everything
seems to be heading south, one way with no stop! What is wrong with the South
Africans? They are all over the African continent, working for African
companies. Why can’t they not find employment in the RSA? Competency does not
count, and that is the only reason.
When learned judges condone
incompetence above competence at all times, then it is late, very late.
What happened to Mandela’s South Africa and the Legal
System
When trying to analyze the
situation, it is very clear that the South African democracy all races penned
hope to, is tumbling down in flames. Are we wrong? What have we not said and
pointed out, despite being attacked by such non-entities as a certain Chad
Thomas and his mates in the South African Intelligence services, we have been
proven correct – repeatedly. Moreover, this without a crystal ball! Everywhere
one turns there is despondency; the legal system does not work. The only people
who are making money out of the legal system are a group of jurists.
Apparently, they decide who will do what and who will get what slice of the
pie. To hell with legal principles, fairness, honor, it is all about money, money,
money – damn money!
Advocates advise their clients,
and then they claim they are under instruction. Their advice mentioned in
passing has now become instructions. In addition, lo and behold the dumb sucker
who wants to stand on his rights against the State. He or she will be ground
into dust. Those will be slandered; they will be victimized; their families and
friends will be terrorized. Their income will be neutralized; SARS will be put
onto them.
Meanwhile, these accursed
hyenas of the legal system are living like the fat of the land.
How many advocates live in Waterkloof,
a rich man’s area? Although, not all advocates fall in this category; however,
they appear to be powerless in order to do something about it. Only in the
legal system? What about the construction industry? Very similar.
Can the continuous
corruption, thieving and mockery of the legal system continue indefinitely?
Penalizing Companies and Multimillion Rand Contracts
Now the Competition
Commission is penalizing companies for collusion. What about the politicians
who had been involved in these construction companies, either as shareholders
or as consultants?
Maziya and Associates ended
up being awarded a multimillion contract for the building of a hospital in
Soweto. Perhaps somebody would have the backbone to publish the real costs
involved in this project.
Another issue is the football
stadium in Krugersdorp which was to be built as a home ground for Kaizer Chiefs,
one of the foremost soccer clubs in the RSA? What about this, what about that?
It never stops. However, the music will stop.
South African Police and the Phantom Boeremag
Yeah, the music is dying in
South Africa. In the SAPS, you will only be promoted if you are a white police
officer who had worked on the so-called Boeremag case. The Boeremag is a
creation from within the ranks of the SAPS. Genl Hankel, the same person who
featured in the rendition of the Pakistani, is also claimed to be the creator
of the Boeremag. The Boeremag is a reason to have a budget, a black budget. Who
knows as to who gets what, when, where.
The music keeps on dying.
The tragedy in Marikana? The
Police shot and killed 34 mineworkers and a further ten people, including police
officers were killed in the period prior to this onslaught. The broad public
tends to have their communications monitored, on what basis? However, the
police service and the intelligence services are focusing on the rest of the population,
building false stories. All in order to steal, to cheat and to steal.
They did not steal the music;
it is dying.
Blackness, Silence and the End
Very soon, it will be the end
of the music.
The blackness will cover the
land, as ESKOM; the electric utility has been run into the ground, very soon,
no power and no lights.
Silence … not the golden
variety but that of a world destroyed by greed!! Democracy? What democracy? The
music has died!
The goose, who lays the
golden eggs, is at this stage seemingly a dried out shell of her former glory.
Will she die or will she abscond, before it is too late?

Anarchy or Land Reform Warns Malema
Julius Malema told a Press Club in Cape Town that a peaceful land reform without compensation will stop Anarchy in South Africa. Malema said his people would never arrive at the Promised Land if the land reform issues were not resolved. Malema referred to past attempts as failures and warned that if political parties did not take up the cause of land reform, the poor landless people would rise and seize the land.
White farmers had not acquired the land by honest means and Malema repeatedly said no compensation would be forthcoming. Malema said the white people took the land and did not pay for the land, but committed black genocide. The blacks who survived the onslaught were transformed into slaves and crime would not be rewarded, Malema told a predominantly white audience. Malema told his viewers to hand over their property.
What Malema failed to realize was the amount of productive land in South Africa averages about forty percent. Malema failed to address the vast amount of food-producing land given to blacks during the past 20 years and the failure causing land to become barren. Malema failed to take into account the thirty-two percent of South African land given to the nine different ethnic groups during the 1970s to create their culture with an opportunity to govern the land successfully. Malema failed to add that the apartheid government gave the different ethnic groups the resources to implement successful states, yet they failed.
Malema failed to tell the audience that it was not only white land that must be expropriated, but also land stolen by black tribes. Land grabbing through violent means among African cultures happened in the past; therefore, the land reform should not be an opportunity to force whites off the land.
