#Gupta 2.0 – Harith, New Owner of SAA Set up by Mbeki Ramaphosa Faction Using Government Pension Funds?

Posted on Leave a comment

Did anyone ask us? When connecting the dots, as Pravin Gordhan instructed, it seems the privatisation of SAA is yet another plunder scam by the ANC mafia. Harith, the new owner of SAA, was setup by the Mbeki and Ramaphosa faction of the ANC, possibly using funds belonging to the Government Employee’s Pension Fund (PIC). Just like when multi billionaire Oligarchs were created after the fall of the USSR, by funneling state public assets into private crony pockets. the privatization of SAA is just a massive ploy, designed to capture SAA for businessmen connected to Ramaphosa’s faction of the ANC! Was SAA deliberately bankrupted to enable this plunder of our assets?

The minister of Public Enterprises, Pravin Gordhan, announced on Friday 11 June that a consortium called Takatso will acquire SAA and will own 51% in it.

Takatso consists of Harith General Partners, a 100% black owned company, and Global Aviation. Takatso wi

Taxpayers coughed up R32m on VIP treatment for EFF delegates in its second elective conference

Posted on Leave a comment

You, yes you taxpayer just coughed up R32 million so that the EFF can hold conference in style at Nasrec. Whilst their top leaders are implicated in serious corruption cases in which tens of millions were funneled to their slush funds by tenderpreneurs.

The EFF has spent well over R32m on its second elective conference, the national people’s assembly (NPA), giving its delegates VIP treatment, treasurer general Leigh-Ann Mathys told journalists on Friday.

Mathys said statutory bodies from legislature and National Assembly contributed to the expense.

“We have now increased our seats in Parliament. We have pretty much doubled in Parliament and also at all our legislatures. Our income from the IEC (Electoral Commission of SA), from Parliament and from the provincial legislatures has pretty much doubled since June 2014,” she said.

She added that the R32m was spent on transporting delegates and obtaining space at the Nasrec

Here are the ex-presidents who cost taxpayers the most

Posted on Leave a comment

Wondering which South African ex-presidents, as well as their spouse, costs the taxpayer the most after leaving their political offices?

So far, it was by no means easy to find out and Dr. Leon Schreiber, DA MP, during a parliamentary question to President Jackson Mthembu, asked exactly what benefits these former politicians enjoy, and how much each has cost the taxpayer over the past three years.

So there are currently four former presidents who benefit from the taxpayer in this way, namely FW de Klerk (1989-1994), Thabo Mbeki (1999-2008), Kgalema Motlanthe (2008-2009) and Jacob Zuma (2009-2018) .

Mthembu replied that ex-presidents and their spouses’ benefits extend over eight fields, namely hotel accommodation, private accommodation, alcohol, catering, entertainment, aircraft transport, car transport and security.

Evidence shows that none of the four past presidents or their spouses received any compensation for private accommodat

Registered illegal aliens from other countries will have access to all medical services under the NHI, which will be financed by South Africa’s hard-working taxpayers

Posted on Leave a comment

The government’s plan to steamroller the National Health Insurance (NHI) through Parliament and to have it promulgated as legislation will cost South Africa dearly.

Last month, the FF Plus warned in Parliament that adopting the NHI as legislation and enforcing it will cause experienced medical professionals to leave the country.

The Minister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, is being obstinate in his attempts to get this law on paper so that it can be implemented, however, he is still unable to provide clarity regarding how the NHI will be financed and what the role of medical aid funds will be under the NHI.

Everything seems to indicate that the government is aiming to get rid of medical aid funds with the NHI and that will surely deliver another significant blow to South Africa’s already struggling economy.

South Africa’s taxpayers will become overburdened with the NHI and will not be able to afford paying the compulsory con
