The Verdict Will Be Announced on September 11 for Oscar Pistorius

The Verdict Will Be Announced on September 11 for Oscar Pistorius

South Africa through the Eyes of our Fathers

Let the story start with a quote from President Jacob Zuma -

As a citizen of this country, I've got to be honest to the people of South Africa.    Jacob Zuma

Novelist Peter Abrams quoted.

For me, personally, life in South Africa had come to an end. I had been lucky in some of the whites I had met. Meeting them had made a straight 'all-blacks-are-good, all-whites-are-bad' attitude impossible. But I had reached a point where the gestures of even my friends among the whites were suspect, so I had to go or be forever lost.  Peter Abrahams

That is just the start, South Africa referred to as a ‘Rainbow Nation’ and a majestic country filled with vastly different cultures continues to realize the inequality, destruction, crime and tolerance of a democracy turning into a socialist rule. Perhaps the best way to describe the conditions of this country is to look at quotes from famous people and recognize the truth of their words.

President Mandela was not a hands-on president at any time.   

F. W. de Klerk

South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white. Thabo Mbeki
 

I have always thought that the rapid economic development of South Africa would in the long run prove to be incompatible with the government's racial policies, and recent events have tended to confirm my opinion.  Harry Oppenheimer  

I am hopeful about any future for whites in this country, but not entirely optimistic.   Helen Suzman

For myself, I believed that that 13th of March should see a fight to the finish, cost what it might! for if Bloemfontein was to be taken, it would only be over our dead bodies. Christiaan Rudolf de Wet

Naturally our Government would not consent to such terms, and so the war had to proceed. Christiaan Rudolf de Wet

Mark Gevisser, a South Africa has written about President Zuma and other issues relating to  South Africa. The quotes I found interesting are :

“This week, Zuma was quoted as saying, 'When the British came to our country, they said everything we are doing was barbaric, was wrong, inferior in whatever way.' But the serious critique of Zuma is not about who is a barbarian and who is civilized. It is about good governance, and this is a universal value, as relevant to an African village as it is to Westminster. If you are unable to keep your appetites in check, you are inevitably going to live beyond your means. And this means you are going to become vulnerable to patronage and even corruption. That is why Jacob Zuma's 'polygamy' is his achilles heel.”  ― Mark Gevisser

“Even if Zuma was to develop the authoritarian impulses of a Mugabe, he would be checked—not least by his own party, which set a continental precedent by ousting Thabo Mbeki in 2007, after it felt he had outstayed his welcome by seeking a third term as party president. The ANC appears to have set itself against that deathtrap of African democracy: the ruler for life.”  ― Mark Gevisser “Remember one thing as South Africa prepares to go to the polls this week and the world grapples with the ascendancy of the African National Congress leader Jacob Zuma: South Africa is not Zimbabwe.
In South Africa, no one doubts that Wednesday's elections will be free and fair. While there is an unacceptable degree of government corruption, there is no evidence of the wholesale kleptocracy of Robert Mugabe's elite. While there has been the abuse of the organs of state by the ruling ANC, there is not the state terror of Mugabe's Zanu-PF. And while there is a clear left bias to Zuma's ANC, there is no suggestion of the kind of voluntarist experimentation that has brought Zimbabwe to its knees.”  ― Mark Gevisser “There is one key area in which Zuma has made no attempt at reconciliation whatsoever: criminal justice and security. The ministers of justice, defense, intelligence (now called 'state security' in a throwback to both apartheid and the ANC's old Stalinist past), police and communications are all die-hard Zuma loyalists. Whatever their line functions, they will also play the role they have played so ably to date: keeping Zuma out of court—and making sure the state serves Zuma as it once did Mbeki.”  ― Mark Gevisser

“What in Mandela was seen as an almost saintly ability to conciliate could, in a lesser man, be read as weak-kneed populism.”  ― Mark Gevisser

The above quotes define the seriousness of the justice system, the defense and President Zuma. In past articles stories relating to the corruption, state of the country and the ongoing inequality have been told honestly and all based on information from reliable sources. Yet, there are the sceptics that refuse to believe the truth, turn their ears from hearing the truth, close their eyes to see the truth and continue to claim that South Africa is indeed under good governance.

“Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that's the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing. Nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him if he gives too much.”  ― Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country

“At the time of his death, Biko had a wife and three children for which he left a letter that stated in one part: “I've devoted my life to see equality for blacks, and at the same time, I've denied the needs of my family. Please understand that I take these actions, not out of selfishness or arrogance, but to preserve a South Africa worth living in for blacks and whites.”  ― Steve Biko “He would not mind hearing Petrus’s story one day. But preferably not reduced to English. More and more he is convinced that English is an unfit medium for the truth of South Africa.”  ― J.M. Coetzee, Disgrace 
 “It's very difficult not to come across as a white supremacist when there are so many black inferiorists around.”  ― David Bullard  “Religion and nationalism? I defecate on the altar of religious conviction, and wipe my arse on the flag of national pride.”  ― Ian Martin, Pop-Splat
“A culture of secrecy is like the bad stench created by cat pee—it is very difficult to get rid of.”  ― Pierre de Vos 
“The spirit of Hendrik Verwoerd still haunts this country and the internet, a zombie stumbling around feeding off the grim life force that is intolerance and racism. Every time we get bitten, or as in the case of this column, take the bait, we create more hate-filled zombies.”  ― Chris Toper “The business of reading and interpreting the Bible in South Africa is a tricky one! The Bible is everywhere and in the hands of many, including the pain inflictors. ~ Mogomme Alpheus Masoga”  ― Gerald O. West, Reading Otherwise: Socially Engaged Biblical Scholars Reading with their Local Communities  “I think, of course, all politicians have a sense of their own image, but he had it in an unusual extent. And, when I first knew him in the '50s, when I was living in Johannesburg, I thought it was too much. I thought he had too theatrical a sense, like he was too much of a showman, and I wasn't quite sure what lay behind it. I was quite wrong, of course, because as soon as he went—before he went to jail, when he made two great speeches, it was already clear that there was a great deal behind that showmanship.”  ― Anthony Sampson  “I don't think that, when future generations look at the apartheid struggle, they will see it as quite the momentous literary cauldron that recent history has suggested. In fact, as well as recording the struggle for human rights, the literary account, which Gordimer has kept so faithfully and truthfully, may be seen as something of a storm in a teacup. Of course it was true that South Africa preserved in much-condensed form all the nasty prejudices and cruelties of an earlier age, and so it was of particular interest to the liberal West. How, it wondered, could something so obscenely and obviously wrong persist? But this was also obvious to every educated white person in South Africa. Certainly, in my family there were never any misconceptions about the nakedly discriminatory nature of Nationalist rule from 1948 to 1994. Those of us who left had many motives, but one of them was a reluctance to spend our lives attacking the indefensible, particularly in Marxist terms. The point I am making, and have been making for a few years, is that white South African writing rode a wave, whether consciously or not. The big issues that it tackled were in fact long since resolved: The South African Afrikaner government was a blind appendix loosely attached to the western digestive system.” ― Justin Cartwright

Need I say more and in closing perhaps the words of Alan Paton sums up the entire story.

 “As Alan Paton said, 'Ah but your fucking land is beautiful'.”  ― André Brink, Devil's Valley

Personal note from Laura

As readers are aware, I write for several different channels, and often receive comments relating to my work. This comment posted yesterday on the GLV is perhaps from somebody, who obviously does not want to hear the truth. My writing is always researched and sources are added for verification.

Anyway, I believe the world is filled with people expressing different views and opinions and freedom of speech is allowed in a democracy. It is obvious the items posted on the blog relating to situations in and around South Africa are frowned upon.

Can you imagine if the critic read some of the above quotes and stories posted on the internet, how dreadful the truth would be.

Comment:
This South African Journalist is known for her hunger for sensation.  She wrote so many articles ridden with untruth, false and untested information that she and some of her informants are in the process of facing serious slander, crimen injuria charges and claims it is a wonder she remains arrogant in continuing to write articles without verifying the facts.

South Africans should know how much the Government profits from Crime

Once again, this interesting email is circulating through Social Media about crime and how the South African Government actually profits from this. The original emails came from the U.K. – Read the contents and decide if there is indeed a way to say NO MORE!

The real question is whether South Africans have the courage to do something about this. People rant and rave about the unfairness, but in reality all that does is allow the thieving to continue, it is about time somebody takes the initiative and takes action.

What plans do you have as a South African to unite against crime profiting the government?

This came in from the UK!

S.A Government makes huge profits from crime.

Question: "What is the influence of crime on the S.A. Govt?" Answer: Crime generates millions and millions of Rand's for the SA Government Here are the facts....

Example 1: Take just one million home owners in Gauteng who pay for "armed crime reaction" (not crime prevention) where private security companies react AFTER the crime has taken place - no wonder they never make any arrests! This service costs on average R250 p.m. Therefore 1,000,000 x R240.00 x 12 months x 14% VAT, generates R403 million in tax revenue for the SA Govt!

Example 2: A car thief steals a R500,000 car and receives between R10,000 and R30,000 for his deed. The car owner is paid out by insurance and then purchases another similar vehicle, on which he pays 14% VAT of approx R70,000 as a direct result of crime. Who profited the most? The thief or the SA Govt?

We must begin with a mechanism whereby the SA Govt is forced to reconsider this unconstitutional and immoral practice of profiting from crime!

All South Africans should demand that all payments related to protection of life and property should be VAT free and Tax deductible! This principle should also apply to replacement of stolen property as well as estate duty. If a person dies as a result of crime we should also demand that estate duty not be paid. How much do you think the SA Govt. has made out of estate duty from the murders of 1300 South African farmers?

The S.A. Govt likes to compare us to overseas. Well overseas, your safety and security is covered by your income tax and is tax deductible!

 It is time that South Africans stood together and made the Govt. and public aware of the Govt's "income" from crime. In the meantime, crime is the goose that lays the golden egg.

 Is it also not unreasonable to expect victims of violence and hijackings to pay their own medical costs? The Govt. should pay for these expenses as well as family counseling for victims! Come on South Africa, ask the right questions and demand the right answers! You could just delete this message or you could help make a difference

101 Ways of Wrecking South Africa

Ever since the dawning of Democracy twenty years ago in South Africa, there are probably more than 101 ways the African National Congress (ANC) party have reduced the solid foundation of a flourishing country into chaos.

Whilst, the world, detested the apartheid structures of South Africa, the world negotiated with terrorist groups like the ANC to end the regime and form a democracy. Apartheid was considered as an evil monopoly benefitting the minor population groups of South Africa. The world heard the plight of millions of black people who were treated with disrespect and inhuman methods. What the world did not hear was the good the minority people did for the ‘disadvantaged people’ and quickly forgot about their own segregation mannerism of the past. Segregation was an accepted term to use worldwide, but alas, apartheid was the evil monster causing untold horrors. Apartheid and segregation have the same meaning; it is the word apartheid that could not be digested.

Apartheid ended in 1994 after a brokered deal between the main political parties and a flawed election. The ANC, famous terrorist group of the 1980s, was given first excellent attention and accepted as a political party to transform South Africa into a democracy. Today, the ANC and citizens will still maintain South Africa is a real democracy. Perhaps a little truth of that statement is that a democracy allows freedom for the entire population to vote for a political party and entrust the supreme power of a leader to govern the country. Yes, there are free elections and every South African citizen has the right to vote. The majority has decided and the ANC rules South Africa.

There can be endless arguments about real democracy and governing with fairness; the South African Constitution protects all its citizens and over the years, some new laws have been implemented to restructure the democracy or justice for the people. While some laws delight and some enrage, division is created causing inequality to grow fester into a bitter fury. There could be 101-in-depth stories or more on the governance of South Africa detecting the downward trend of destruction, but rather focus briefly on the 101 ways the ANC government is destroying the country.

This is the 101 Ways of how to destroy South Africa in twenty years. Each point mentioned reflects a short description only. Over the past years, there are many untold stories not published about the destruction and of course, many published stories about the 101 ways of ruin.

The first ten actions on the list are in my opinion the most drastic and damaging to the Country. The rest are randomly placed and are in no particular order.

No.	Action		Explanation
1.	Corruption	THIS IS SO BIG, IT WOULD BE A NEVER-ENDING STORY It is in the NUMBER ONE SPOT!!!!!
2.	Aggressive Affirmative Action	Driving white people out of public and private sectors
3.	Black Economic Empowerment –	Creating millionaires who do not have work for their money forcing skilled, educated people into unemployment.
4.	Deployment of Activists –	People with no experience or knowledge allowed making Inept decisions.
5.	Fraud, tender rigging –	Starting with the president and spiraling through state departments.
6.	Obsession with Apartheid –	Blame every damaging action on the past administration.
7.	Out of control crime –	Shocking crime statistics. Corruption and nepotism rank High within this structure. The Police service tends to end up being a part of the problem.
8.	White genocide –	This slow and painful elimination of whites rises annually, Farm murders and torture continue and control, or assistance is withheld. South Africa listed as number Six on the Genocide Watch…….
9.	Farm projects for redistribution to black people –	What a disaster, productive land turned into barren land, by inexperienced farmers, a government initiative for destruction.
10.	Productivity destruction –	Employing inexperience people and often too many to undertake even the most menial job, especially within the state structure.
11.	Undermining the manufacturing export capabilities –	Continual decline of gold and other production, based on mismanagement is affecting export opportunities.
12.	Forcing White and other Professionals to leave the country –.	The figures of people leaving are staggering and reflect on the state’s inability to create harmony. However, more importantly it is a loss of knowledge
13.	FW De Klerk	He got the  Greek wife after her ex-husband handled the contacts between the ANC and the NP,
14.	Failing Justice System –	This is perhaps the most inefficient failing structure within South Africa. Incompetent Judges especially white judges who are sucking up in order to gain lucrative employment. This is done in collaboration with Advocates (Solicitors?) who are creaming the system and milking the state with no regard to the injustices visited upon the public due to their actions.
15.	Failing Defense Force –	Millions of rands wasted on arms, lack of maintenance, Moreover, corruption ranks high within this department. The top management of the SANDF is a criminal force that’s hell bent on stealing.
16.	Arms deal –	From Mandela to Zuma – this saga remains unresolved Moreover, mystery. The main role player is Thabo Mbeki
17.	Air Force Disaster	No fuel, bad mismanagement, lack of accountability, spending millions on jet flights for ministers of the ANC government.
18.	South African Navy collapsing	New ships cannot go to sea, lack of maintenance, nepotism and Affirmative action blunders. Submarines in dry dock for over 2 years!
19.	Prison nightmares –.	Allowing criminal activities to operate within the system. Rapes, crime, gangs and corrupt officials allow prisons to practice own set of rules.
20.	Prison Overcrowding	It is with disgust; that prisons remain overcrowded and unhygienic. No rehabilitation for criminals.
21.	Drug Cartels	Escalation of drug abuse and too few states facilities to rehabilitate drug users. Links with Ministers?
22.	Rioting	Rioting is a major problem and the number of increased aggressive riots for service deliveries does more harm than good.
23.	Service deliveries	Total collapse of service deliveries, timing is not considered important. Salaries are paid iro the fact that money must be used for operational and infrastructural maintenance and upgrades.
24.	African refugees and border controls –	Millions of illegal’s allowed refuge are draining the South African resources
25.	Substandard Education –	Gross mismanagement across the entire education system, lowering of pass rates causing children to leave school still illiterate.
26.	Nepotism –	It happens within all government departments, Preferential treatment for family members. Zuma’s daughters recently appointed to a high-profile position, Moreover, all other state departments follow this route.
27.	Two sets of laws –	One for government and the other for citizens – Government and family members have special favors, i.e. Mandela and Zuma family in Aurora Mine Saga.
28.	Mismanagement of pension funds –	Causing poverty as in the case of many railway pensioners. Secrecy clauses prevail for the trustees of the pension funds so that nobody knows what is happening.
29.	Healthcare failure –	Public hospital in a shocking way – cadre employment, mismanagement and Affirmative action are causes for the decay within this section.
30.	Electricity disaster ESKOM	Infrastructure is not maintained causing a progressive degrading. Exorbitant increases for electricity and sometimes not justified Building the most expensive generating unit in the world at Medupi.
31.	Water supplies –	After 20 years, some areas do not have running water. Water  contaminated with Ecoli
32.	Killing of Rhino’s –	Endangered species almost wiped out; government does not stop the killings. Who in government is benefitting from the sale of rhino horn?
33.	Increase in child support grants –.	Stimulates teenagers to have children, stay at home and breeds ignorance. Increase in population, more starvation
34.	Grant Expenditure	Styling new grants, creating unemployment and laziness – lack of control and fraud
35.	Telkom Mismanagement	The telecommunications giant lacks accountability Moreover, poor service standards. Another affirmative action infliction.
36.	Communication Internet	High-internet costs and slow bandwidth offered causes millions to remain without opportunities.
37.	South African Bureau of Standards	Flood of cheap imports due to issuing of certificates of inferior products. Causing local production to dwindle.
38.	Service Providers	Nonpayment and late payments to government suppliers resulting in lack of supply.
39.	Excluding White Suppliers	Drastic decline of including white service providers forcing companies to close.
40.	Loss of Foreign Trade	Slow or non-productive coal mines cause loss of foreign income; again, nepotism is a problem.
41.	South African Wine Production	Labor costs too high forcing wine to be bottled overseas.
42.	Loss of food production	Again, farms handed over in land claims have caused the food production to decrease.
43.	Senior citizens neglected	Senior citizens neglected and decline in state help for the elderly cause unnecessary suffering.
44.	Disrespect for the poor	The poor continue to suffer and the drastic increase in poverty is astounding.
45.	Blue light conveys	Above the law and no respect for drivers on the road.
46.	Roads	No maintenance or too little, the pot holes are disastrous. When maintenance is undertaken, it is often with inferior products that cause potholes to return within a month or so.
47.	Traffic Lights	South Africa must be the only country in the world where there are constant traffic lights out of order. It happens every day and gets worse.
48.	Road accidents	Far too high, and it is linked to corruption within state departments are issuing false driver’s licenses, roadworthy certificates. Not to forget the Minibus taxi drivers who drive like maniacs and are often the cause of unnecessary accidents.
49.	Licenses and motor vehicle checks	Fraudulent licenses, fraud of roadworthy vehicles – cause of major accidents.
50.	E Tolling System	Only in Gauteng, and proving to be a failing system. I consider people would gladly pay for this service if they were not ripped off by toll roads, excessive levies against people and road accident fund.
51.	Refugees	Shocking statistics reveals that immigrants from neighboring countries seek refuge in South Africa and contribute to the high unemployment.
52.	Unemployment Escalation	The escalation of unemployment has risen over the past years, and correct statistics is not accurate to determine the actual percentage of unemployed people.
53.	No Work	To find work or at least a sustainable income from honest work is becoming a problem any person encounter, as crime escalates, and affirmative action take precedence.
54.	Extravagant Expenditure	This is, of course, within state departments, travel claims, credit card abuse, security abuse and the list never ends.
55.	Public parks, pavements in a shocking state	Public parks, pavements and road islands are covered in weeds and overgrown grass. Lack of maintenance once again causes places to look degrading.
56.	Slum areas	In Johannesburg alone, there are several areas that have gone from decent residential areas to degrading slum areas. Hillbrow, Joubert Park, Rosettenville to name but a few.
57.	Zebediela Citrus Estate	One of the few great examples of how the country continues its downward trend. Once the largest in South Africa handed over to Africans and now desolate.  Here is a link to read the full story  http://www.gpsa.co.za/articles/LandScandal09.pdf
58.	Regulatory Body	Government proposed to change the regulatory body to bypass  racial discrimination based on affirmative candidates - not done
59.	Taxpayer's money financing lifestyles	ANC officials are living extravagant lifestyles, and this is financed by taxpayers’ money. A look at the cars the person's drive does say a lot, Lamborghinis, Ferraris all cost a pretty penny.
60.	Whistle blowing	Loyal White government staff dismissed for attempting to stop corruption and so forth, but all based on loyalty to ANC officials who manipulate cover-ups.
61.	Threats of violence	Do not attempt to ridicule President Zuma or you will be threatened, look at what happened to the Goodman Gallery after they displayed an inappropriate picture of Zuma.
62.	Welfare organizations	Funding cut by government causing a drastic decline in help for the poor and needy.
63.	Welfare organizations again	Affirmative action and lack of support for white charities.
64.	Government Projects	Waste of time, not completed and no time frame considered. It does not matter if the project takes one or 10 years. Who cares, not the government. It costs money!
65.	Time management	Government does not consider time management Appropriate, it is all in their time and nobody dare argue.
66.	Research and Development	Lagging behind first-world countries, not enough funding or not bothered with regaining a reputable standard of commitment.
67.	Home Affairs Department	Is this the worst or not? Total lack of credibility, fraud, corruption and utter incompetence run this department.
68.	Witchcraft	There is a definite rise in witchcraft practice and President Zuma is rumored to endorse this by allowing ancestral worship
69.	Nkandla	The expenditure on the president’s private residence is outrageous and a waste of money If Pres Zuma had only but put his foot down on service delivery, then Nkandla would not be seen as wasteful.
70.	Nkandla Roads	Millions of rands channeled to built first-class highways around the Nkandla homestead
71.	Zumaville Project	The proposed Zumaville project consists of a shopping centre a few miles away from Nkandla, another waste of government funds. Reasons thereto?
72.	Polygamy	It is the 21st Century, how many wives are ENOUGH.
73.	11 Official Languages	South Africa must be the only country in the world with so many official languages.
74.	Savage Behavior	The savage behavior of people not controlled and abnormal murders allowed for witchcraft medicine.
75.	Shaik Schabir	The release of Schabir on medical parole is unjust; he is a friend of Zuma’s?
76.	Boeremag	Unfair discrimination for the phantom group of white terrorists.
77.	Clive Lewis Derby	The man is old, sick and yet cannot get medical parole. Well, of course, he is not a friend of Zuma’s.
78.	Jackie Selebi	The disgraced Police Commissioner. Now a drug lord?
79.	Statutory bodies	Statutory bodies are being used to steal business. The NCACC, National Conventional Arms Control Committee is an example Thereof. All Arms companies must declare all their business to this committee by law, which is then disseminated to other companies IN the military the new opportunities for them and their friends.
80.	800 Parastatals	South Africa has over 800 parastatals and state-owned enterprises in direct competition to private business. The officials at these parastatals pay themselves mega salaries with mega low positive output!
81.	Intelligence Structures	A large portion of the Intelligence structures has been compromised by foreign services. They abuse the system IN order to steal business for them or in order to create so-called projects for which large sums of moneys are paid out, which tends to be shared with the operatives and their skivvy agents.
82.	Defense Intelligence	Operates in much the same way as the Civilian services. Lies and innuendo is their trade. A danger to all and sundry. Due to their machinations, the RSA lost 15 troops in CAR (Central African Republic) on a private military venture.
83.	Peacekeeping operations	The SANDF has been involved in peacekeeping operations in Africa. In Darfur, they had surrendered at least 5 times to rebels. All their equipment, including their vehicles.
84.	SARS	SARS, the Revenue Service, is being used as a political tool in order to break businesses and to steal their business for certain politicians. They are also very sparingly with the truth when it comes to declaring as to what they really collected. No wonder the State is always short of money!
85.	SAPS	SAPS, the Police Services, they are highly Incompetent and untrustworthy. In the case of Radovan Krejcir, there are police officers on his payroll. They even rocked up at court in Porsche Cayenne!
86.	The NP	The NP, National Party, all indications are that they have been an equally dirty bunch. Their politicians IN PARLIAMENT have ended up joining the ANC. There clearly never was any thought or strategy within the NP on how to handle themselves and the ANC. They are all just scrambling for salaries!
87.	White people	Several white people have become nothing else, but groveling imbeciles Many are closet racists. The system is stacked against them and they cannot put their expertise towards the future of the country.
88.	Black people	The black people believe that they are entitled. To the money, to property, etc., They had forgotten that the RSA is for all people, even for idiots.
89.	The Gupta family	The Gupta for one or other reason has got a hold on Pres Zuma. They are involved on may nefarious activities, they are embarrassing! The government and all under the President’s auspices. Even the large Indian business families from the subcontinent are very surprised to see these things happening.
90.	Abuse of State Facilities	Waterkloof airbase – what a joke!! By-pass the laws and land in the country only if you are a Gupta.
91.	The Press / Media	The press in the RSA is being manipulated by the Intelligence Services. Journalists are being manipulated in order to create scenarios Irrespective of whether it is true or not.
92.	Pres Zuma’s Cabinet	The cabinet under Pres Zuma has always been populated by people supposedly loyal to him but sheer incompetence. They are dropping President Zuma deep into the dwang. His ministers are underperforming, seemingly only interested in their own interests. Corruption springs from this group, with very few exceptions.
93.	Armscor and Denel	Two State-owned companies. They are superb at stealing from other businesses and then disseminating false stories, thereby unleashing the incompetent and overpaid intelligence services. They set out to undermine businesses and persons. Their problem is when they are found to have to be lying; they are faced with a major problem in order how to rectify their thefts!!
94.	NPA	The NPA, National Prosecuting Authority – a corrupt institution, which sets out to create slander, and to steal business for whomever politician that is their flavor of the month. They have access to magistrates and judges and spin the most wondrous and evil stories. The people on the receiving end listen to them as they claim to represent the state. Glynnis Breytenbach, ex-prosecutor from the NPA, still has got to account as to why SHAREMAX and its directors had not been prosecuted. Yet, she is now the DA’s (Democratic Party) spokesperson on Justice.
95.	The Hawks	The special investigating unit, which is bereft of fraud. They frame innocent citizens, all on behalf of political masters in order to steal, and steal, and steal. In this process, they and the NPA along with the courts are all in the same boat with this fraud.
96.	The Afrikaners	A lot of people who had been used as pawns in the game by the NP masters. There is no leadership, they have been left to their own devices. The Afrikaner is not what it has been believed to be. Even during the years prior to 1994, the Afrikaner did not instill confidence. The only real solution today for the Afrikaners is to join up with Julius Malema’s EFF. The EFF is a thorn in the ANC’s flesh. Together such a movement can call the ANC to book!!
97.	The EFF	Julius Malema has the power, it would make sense for the whites to join with him. He might be off his rocker, but he is indeed the only viable power that exists to call the ANC to book. He might even mellow over time. In the 1914 rebellion, the blacks and whites revolted together! The time had come for a repeat of history.
98.	Who steals what?	Prior to the Polokwane conference, the Hawks swooped on the following people and found them with cash in their possession. Cassel Matale – Premier Limpopo R 17 million, DD Mabuza – Premier Mpumalanga R 16 million, Sputla Ramakgopa – Mayor of the City of Tswhane – R 7 million. Bribes or what?
99.	No silver lining	There is no good story, no cloud with a silver lining!  The Zulus have become a target for the whole  country! Do they deserve it?
100.	Thabo Mbeki again	Thabo Mbeki and his consorts, whilst having had once upon a time far far way the best interests of the RSA at heart, had long since abandoned it.  Now he wants us to believe that all the decisions were taken by the collective. He, who had tried to frame Jacob Zuma?  Way out of his league, it would seem!
101.	Missing the boat	Ultimately, the RSA is missing the boat in all areas. Finance,  technology, etc.

That is my list of 101 ways the ANC have wrecked South Africa. 

Do you have any to add on to the list, perhaps we can write an article with 1,001 ways.
