SA Police Three Times More Deadly Than US Police! Black Lives Don’t Matter to the Black ANC Government with a Record Far Worse Than Apartheid!

Posted on Leave a comment

#BlackLivesDoNotMatter in South Africa: The deadly police brutality record of South African Police Service (SAPS) is more than 3 times worse than that of the USA Police Force, which is currently causing so much politically correct outrage in the mainstream. Indeed, SA has a police record that is not only embarrassing, but is also a disgrace and is far worse than in any of the apartheid era. In fact the the same amount of people (mostly black) are murdered in SA every year, under the ANC regime, as what were murdered in over 40 years of Apartheid government! So do black lives really matter in SA under ANC? 

Shockingly, in the 2017/18 financial year, the deaths of 759 people could be linked to the police – 201 died while in police custody, while 558 people died as a result of police action. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) 2017/18 annual report painted a grim picture as police brutality complaints increased, and 43 on-duty

12 Army members arrested for the disappearance of nineteen R4 assault rifles are set free on a mere warning

Posted on Leave a comment

The military court released 12 army members with only a warning after they were arrested in connection with the disappearance of nineteen R4 assault rifles.

The army members were arrested between December 24 and 27, 2019 on charges of housebreaking, theft and negligent loss of firearms after the disappearance of the weapons from the storeroom on their base.

The suspects, including captains, lieutenants, sergeants, and staff sergeants, were denied bail a week ago because the investigating officer and the then presiding military judge feared they might interfere with the investigation and evidence. It was then postponed for further investigation until Friday.

Their release is subject to various conditions, including moving the four officers and eight deputy officers from the Lyttelton Tek base in Centurion to other units in the Pretoria area.

According to reports from Network 24, Brian Plaatjies, the attorney for 11 of the accused, as well

Pravin Gordhan is accused of restricting the media’s right to freedom of speech

Posted on Leave a comment

ANC government minister Pravin Gordhan is accused by South African businessman Iqbal Survé of wanting to restrict the media’s right to freedom of speech.

The Independent Media Group claims that the ANC government’s ministers are making efforts to mouth the group’s publications because there is too much evidence against Pravin Gordhan.

On Wednesday, the media group’s offices were searched by police in a so-called “raid”, and members of the group say the investigation was focused on the Cape Town offices, but investigators say they searched the offices for alleged illegal stock trading.

The investigators appear to have made an intimidating attempt to protect the minister in the hope that something illegal would be found.

SA Airline shocks the country after flight incident – faulty, secondhand component of Mango Boeing turns passengers’ flight into nightmare

Posted on Leave a comment

An investigation into a flight incident which occurred on a Mango Boeing 737 aircraft has unearthed the extent of South African Airways’ problems, according to a report in the Sunday Times.

Passengers on a recent Mango flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town were terrified when the aircraft suddenly nosedived, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in Johannesburg.

The incident was more of a “jolt” than anything else, according to a Mango Airlines manager, but the plane was forced to land nonetheless, with none of the 147 passengers injured due to the event.

This problem was attributed to a faulty part which was fitted by SAA Technical. Both Mango Airlines and SAA Technical are owned by SAA.

According to the report, SAA admitted that it has been infiltrated by an international crime syndicate which has supplied the company with suspicious aircraft parts and looted “hundreds of millions of rands”.

The preliminary inv

Police officers spent R5.3m on fake EFF and Fees Must Fall investigations

Posted on Leave a comment

A pair of top officers are believed to have paid money from a crime intelligence slush fund to ‘informants’ which didn’t exist. A report in the Sunday Independent accuses top police officers of looting crime intelligence funds to the tune of R5.3 million.

The publication says an internal report shows that these officials embarked on supposed investigations into the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and Fees Must Fall movement leadership, but spent the money meant for these investigations on luxury hotels.

They also allegedly paid various amounts to non-existent “informants”.

According to the report, Major-General Deena Moodley and Colonel Preadhashni Govender spent a night at the Drakensburg Sun Resort in December, 2016, under the pretext that they were “attending a meeting by EFF members planning a rally” due to “conspiracy to commit arson by EFF Student Command”, changing theirs stories to say they were investigating a plot to

Hawks are investigating fraud of more than R150 million at Sedibeng Municipality

Posted on Leave a comment

A senior investigation team is investigating fraud, corruption and maladministration where there are alleged contracts involved in the Sedibeng municipality.

Sedibeng is in Vereeniging and the municipality’s operations are now being investigated for alleged fraud of more than R150 million.

Godfrey Lebeya from the Hawks unit has appointed senior investigators to investigate the alleged fraud brought to the attention of a Falcon by a group of more than 600 people.

The march in Pretoria appears to have served as a trigger for the Hawks to take action, but experts believe the investigation could take months and concerns about the possibility of prosecution.

Public Protector is being sued for R350 000 – this while she’s still unable to pay the previous claims

Posted on Leave a comment

A complainant who allegedly approached the Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, about an incident 10 years ago now wants to file a claim of R350,000 against her because she was unwilling to investigate the matter.

The complainant allegedly made a case against a senior member of the Limpopo Office of the Public Protector, and won the case.
The complainant, one Nchaube Peter Seabi, alleges that the head of the OB office in the northern province, Hamilton Samuel, insulted in the OB office in 2011 but that the Public Protector refused to investigate the matter.

However, the matter is quite confused, and whether the complainant can be a strong case against the PP will learn the time.

During the ANC regime, roughly R500 billion has been looted by Eskom contractors, which partly explains why South Africa is in such a big financial mess – it is unsure if the culprits will be brought to justice

Posted on Leave a comment

A Special Investigation Unit is currently investigation more than eleven contractors whom are suspected of robbing the power utility of billions of rand.

The contractors looted R130 billion from Eskom during the construction of the two new power stations, Medupi and Kusile as well as the Ingula power station.

From the so-called “inner circles” it is claimed that plundering at Eskom has been taken place since 2005, which partly explains why South Africa has ended up in a financial mess.

A spokesman said Eskom had been robbed of R170bn, of which R130bn was directly related to so-called contractors working at the different power plants.

Investigation is now being done to determine who has committed theft, and who worked within Eskom to benefit the thieves.

R200 mill of drought relief monies intended for KwaZulu Natal gone missing – South Africa’s farmers find themselves in a crisis and as a result, our country’s food security and economy are also in crisis

Posted on Leave a comment

The FF Plus is shocked and disgusted by the news that nearly R220 million, which was earmarked for drought relief in KwaZulu Natal, went missing. It is unclear how the money went missing and the FF Plus demands an urgent investigation into the matter so that the guilty parties can be called to account.

The drought has already taken its toll on the agricultural sector with livestock deaths and poor harvests being at the order of the day. There have been enormous livestock losses in the Free State, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape in particular and some of these parts have not had any rain since November 2017.

The government must urgently prioritise drought relief for commercial as well as emerging farmers. The government must also ensure that the process is managed properly so that the money allocated to drought relief is not stolen, as is the case in KwaZulu Natal.

There are cases where service providers were appointed by means of a tender process

Whistle-blower Agrizzi arrested on corruption charges, but big fish like not Watson, Dudu Myeni, Nomvula Mokonyane, Gwede Mantashe are still as free as birds

Posted on Leave a comment

Shortly after evidence were giving during the Bosasa debacle, the Hawks struck and arrested five people including Agrizzi and Van Tonder who acts as witnesses for Watson’s large-scale fraud and bribery actions.

The question now arises why Watson, Dudu Myeni, Nomvula Mokonyane, Gwede Mantashe and the rest of the crooks were not arrested? It is after all they who provided and received the money for the millions of contracts. Is there a snake in the grass somewhere here?

Is R500,000 enough to buy immunity from prosecution? Brigadier Mulaudzi of the Hawks denies any political fuss and there would be evidence that politicians were involved in illegal activities there against them. Observers point out that the investigation into Bosasa was already completed in 2009 and the fact that the Hawks are only now showing irregularities in the legal process.
