Everybody is astounded that South Africa is a failed state, yet that is the truth!
“I DID NOT JOIN THE
STRUGGLE TO BE POOR!”
So said politician Smuts Ngonyama
, former Member of African
National Congress (ANC), who joined the
Congress of the People Party (COPE) and now back home to the ANC party. After garnering an amount of R120 million (At the time
approx. USD 15 million) as a so-called commission IRO the privatization of
TELKOM- the formerly State-owned telecommunication entity. As a senior
official in the ANC structures with apparent
inside knowledge.
This sets the trend!
South Africa, after 1994 was zooming in on Libya and Gaddafi. Today, Gaddafi is no more, the Sahel, and
the Magreb is in turmoil. Weapons are
flowing from Libya to any terrorist group who wishes to pay.
President Zuma’s government is in crisis. The Libyans want
their money back. The South Africans have stolen more than USD 700 billion. Money that has found its way to over
14 countries. The question is where did the money go?
According to various reports, South Africa has 63000 millionaires,
on average USD 10 million each and the amount grows substantially. Currently, South Africa is the second largest
importer of Porsche motor vehicles. On average,
approximately 120 Porsches per month are imported!
Where did they acquire
this money in just 20 years?
Libya’s
moneys? Al Zoubeidi, the Libyan ambassador during January 2013
had his passport revoked by the Libya authorities. He however had applied for
amnesty in South Africa and can be seen at diplomatic functions. He was also
alleged to have stashed some several billions of Gaddafi’s money in South
Africa. Apparently whilst Bashir Salah,
Gaddafi’s moneyman was seen at Nkandla; the compound of President Zuma built
by companies that appear to have lacked
the competence of quality work. Already the security fencing had collapsed, and it had to be repaired – who pays for this. THE SOUTH AFRICAN
TAXPAYER. Companies completing the work are are paid more than the
average actual costs. Friends of friends and we know how the system works.
SOUTH AFRICA IS REALLY
A FAILED STATE. NOTHING WORKS AND THE
SYSTEMS IS A MESS.
IS THIS WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT AT THE LONDON SCHOOL
OF ECONOMICS?
South Africa is just about to receive the results IRO the
Matric exams of 2014. Make no mistake there have been many suspicions regarding the matric results of past
years.
However, the fact is that the worst matric results come
from Kwazulu, President Zuma’s home ground. However,
newspapers reported that at one school, monitors were set up in the examination
hall, to assist the matric pupils while undertaking the final examination. The
pupils were given the answers, all the students had to do was follow the
instructions appearing on the monitor. An answer to each test question was shown
on the screen for the students to write on
the exam paper. It is apparently happening
in other schools around the country. Why study in South Africa, incompetence really
does count.
Another example of the tragedy that has visited in South Africa.
Not to forget the Police Commissioner of the SAPS, Riah
Phiyega. Phiyega
has been implicated in interfering with
investigations – see NOSEWEEK no 183 Jan 2015 for more clarification. Phiyega recently completed two years in her
post but was photographed strutting around with a ten year Service Medal on her chest.
However, there are allegations that Phiyega is a woman with a very checkered past.
Circa 1994, she was working in a senior position at Transnet,
the rail transportation entity under state control. Apparently, she had moved R1,6
billion from a Transnet account into an
investment account on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). The dividend
income from this transaction issue accrued apparently to ANC account for their
benefit. When Phiyega left Transnet, the
money also disappeared. To
where?
The South African constitution has so many safeguards, but
nothing functions. The Opposition in Parliament seems to be only there to collect
a salary. They are effectively sidelined.
This is where Julius Malema is making a difference.
As a real rabble rouser, it does not mean that he is untainted.
However, the Office of the Auditor General
is not able
to cut through all the obstacles.
As a matter of fact, this Office issues clear audit results
IRO of various institutions, which are stealing the country blind. I wonder why?
The Office of the Public Protector is run by Advocate Thuli
Madonsela. She is indeed managing to uncover many issues. However, she still
has a case to answer for a double payment
of almost R1,8 million paid to her as a consultant
to the Department of Justice a couple of years
ago. In the investigation into a new
Police Headquarters for the Police, under then-Commissioner Bheki Cele, Madonsela
had neglected to declare that her boyfriend at that stage was a partner with
one Roux Shabangu , the property developer who was behind this transaction.
Trying to press criminal charges is useless. The Police do not have the competency to investigate charges.
When the National Prosecuting Authority gets involved (NPA), all aspects just go pear shaped.
In this regard, we shall elaborate in the next article and
name the names.
Perhaps somebody would want to press charges against these
criminals at the International Criminal Court!
CRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY…...
