Does Eskom Export Electricity to #SAPP When it Uses Cold Weather as Excuse to Hide Bad Maintenance & Corruption?
Leave a comment
Cold weather in winter is self-evident even for animals, but for Eskom it is a surprise? For decades in Apartheid, before the ANC regime was given the then first world country, Eskom supplied whatever was demanded without interruption thanks to good long-term planning and maintenance measures, but now Eskom has warned about electricity faults in KwaZulu-Natal due to cold weather! The question is, is power still quietly being sent to the African #SAPP network, when we are asked to save power, for which we paid dearly with taxes? Are we also being forced to sustain and keep the rest of Africa afloat? Even Malawi’s power provider is called “Escom!”

ANC Government Begs for Private Investors to Pay for Transnet Extensions at “World’s Worst” Durban Harbor
Leave a comment
Despite being named one of the worst ports in the world, and shortly after an entire container of ammunition disappeared from secure lockup in Durban harbor during recent riots, Transnet Port Terminals plans to create a “super terminal” in Durban, enabling the port to handle very large vessels, and hopefully improve the efficiency of the port after its dismal rating earlier this year. Seems the ANC wants to put private investors’ money at stake and at risk of plunder, because it is not being privatised.

More Unreported Murders. Is Murder Now So Common & Boring That Mainstream Media Doesn’t Bother Reporting it, or is it Just Not Profitable in The “Mass Market”?
Leave a comment
In the media world there is a saying: If it bleeds, it leads. However according to the headlines and frontpages of mainstream media nowadays, it would seem this is no longer the case, as alleged racism is treated far more serious than murder or rape and given far more coverage! In fact with 56 murders a day, many homicides barely make the Facebook pages of these newspapers and rape doesn’t even get reported in many cases!
The owner of the Engen garage at Cocomo’s in Klerksdorp, Cobus Fourie whose wife is Nicolene, was fatally shot in his chest during an armed robbery on Monday morning, 6 January 2020.

Natal farmers won court case against state dispute regarding to what should be fair and equitable remuneration for highly productive agricultural land
Leave a comment
A 13-year court battle gave 20 farmers (willing sellers) a fair price for their land offered to the state. The claims were initially set at about 42 000 ha. Landowners offered some 9,000 ha of highly productive agricultural land to the state to settle the claim.
The government had to admit that the Valuer-General wanted to buy the farms from the farmers for almost half their value. The landowners of Melmoth in Natal entered into an agreement with the Department of Land Reform whereby they would voluntarily make land available to the government. The deal would mean R761m for the farmers.
The government has repeatedly decided that the Valuer-General’s assistance should be called and according to a “government formula” they calculated that the farmers were entitled to only R420 million.
Last week, the government abandoned the fight to use the formula. According to Attorney Bertus van der Merwe, who represented the farmers for the past two years, the turnaround

Afrikaner Barbarism the order of the day at DUT – 9 students set fire to security officer – Student grievances degenerate into lawlessness
Leave a comment
Rebellious students from Durban University of Technology wreaks havoc at the Steve Biko campus during a violent demonstration. They insist that the current security company be replaced. Lectures are currently suspended and nearly 34,000 students are unable to attend lectures. During the riot, 9 students were arrested after gasoline was thrown over a security guard and he was set on fire.
During the riot, two waiting rooms and the interview room were destroyed, and the 27-year-old security officer sustained serious injuries. The latter was rescued after a close escape when his colleagues saw the attack and he was rushed to hospital. Nine students between 20 and 30 years were arrested. The provincial commissioner of police strongly condemned the incident, saying that the involved students is charged with attempted murder, malicious damage to property and public violence.
It is worrying how students can justify their grievances through lawlessness and assault. Most tert

Auto racing on the increase on Durban streets- traffic department says they can’t issue fine tickets because camera system is not functioning properly
Leave a comment
For more than two years, Durban was the racing devil’s race track, as all speed traps with cameras were out of order.
The city had virtually no revenue from speeding violations for two years, and the single traffic violation noticed by traffic officials also did not always result in a fine ticket.
The inexplicable is that the traffic department says they can’t issue a ticket because the camera system is not functioning properly.
However, a spokeswoman for the municipality says it does not mean that the streets of the city are unsafe as the traffic staff “works very hard” to ensure that law and order are maintained.
A reader told Die Vryburger he was aware of several cases where traffic officials “exempted” fines for their friends.
Durban cops say they live like sewage rats in ‘disgusting’ police building – Government buildings going into shambles
Leave a comment
Durban – Durban police officers say they are living like sewage rats while they are expected to be dignified officers and lead by example.
Residential flats meant for police members are in a shocking state and government departments shift the blame and responsibility on to each other.
An officer who called the Independent on Saturday said many of the flats did not have working water and electricity, and that criminals had moved in to some of the flats.
“This is our disgusting daily lives,” said a SAPS Warrant Officer, who asked not to be named, a resident of Excelsior Court building on Ridge Road.
“We are expected to be dignified officers and lead by example, but we live like sewage rats. There is no water or electricity in some of these flats. We use the water from the fire extinguisher pipes to cook and to do all the household activities,” he said.
The officer said not having water and electricity was nothing compar

4 Police officers charged with kidnapping, assault and extortion but SAPS has not suspended them and they still serving the public
Leave a comment
Durban – The four Inanda police officers arrested for kidnapping, assault and extortion at a truck yard in Springfield Park recently have not been suspended from the force, the Durban Magistrate’s Court heard on Friday.
One will report weekly to the station where he works as part of his bail conditions while the others will have to sign the bail register at stations closer to their homes.
At their bail application on Friday, investigating officer Detective Captain Paulos Sithembiso Vezi’s affidavit described how they were arrested.
One of the accused placed a call to arrange a meeting to receive clandestine money, but the cellphone receiving his call was at the wrong place – it was answered by the victim who was at Greenwood Park police station reporting the crime. His phone was placed on loudspeaker mode while the arrangements were being made.
Police then followed the “victim” to the meeting place and caught three men, who turned out to b
