There are problems in the ANC gravy train paradise after ANC Youth League members furiously protested over their exclusion from the list of PR councillors. Internal divisions are raging among the ruling ANC after two youth league regions, in the Free State and Limpopo, expressed their anger over the exclusion of the youth candidates names in the candidate list for the upcoming local elections. Given the systemic corruption in municipalities, they are probably angry they will not be able to become millionaires through systemic corruption.

South Africans don’t fall for Ramaphosa’s Act – 82% say Corruption is Same or Worse Under Cyril!
Leave a comment
Two-thirds of South Africans believe that corruption has increased in the past year, and half (49%) believe that it has “increased a lot.” Furthermore, a survey shows that people not only think that corruption has gotten worse under Ramaphosa, but also recognize that a large part of the elected officials and civil servants, who should be fighting corruption, are involved in corrupt activities themselves.

Land Reform – A Trough for Vultures, Hyenas and Selfish ANC Cadres! Land Claimant Refuses to Explain Millions’ in Suspicious Transactions
Leave a comment
It is well known that the ANC Land Reform in South Africa is a total failure, but as long as land and money are on offer, the vultures, hyenas and ANC cadres will come to feast. One such heinous and cynical case was portrayed when the Land Claims Court (Randburg) ordered that the books of the Moletele Community Property Association (MCPA) be examined by the Auditor-General, and the Director-General of Rural Development and Land Reform, not that it’s ever going to happen. MCPA, which claims that the Moletale people are a separate ethnic group, successfully claimed 27 properties in Hoedspruit, including two working farms.

ANC Party No Longer More Important Than Self or Country? Despite Billions of Corruption, ANC Party Can’t Pay Salaries and Could Miss Election Deadline
Leave a comment
Live by the Strike, Die by the Strike – Despite Billions amassed by the corrupt ANC leadership, the ANC Party can not pay it’s staff, who are now on a Go Slow strike. Even the possibility that their candidates might not be able to register in time for the election, is not enough motivation for them to put a hand in their own ill gotten gains. This proves that the ANC leadership’s priorities lie in self-enrichment and not the ANC Party or the country.

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.

Rats infest Durban CBD because of uncollected rubbish on the streets, Business and tourism now being threatened
Leave a comment
Durban – Traders in the City centre say their businesses and health have been affected by the huge rat population that has continued to grow because of uncollected rubbish on the streets.
They say there has been an overall decline in business and tourism while the condition of buildings has also deteriorated. Areas popular with hawkers such as Warwick Junction Market, Mahatma Gandhi precinct, Berea and Durban Workshop taxi ranks as well as bus terminals have been most affected.
Pinky Nyathela, who trades at the Warwick Junction Market, said the number of rats had tripled since she began trading in 2016. “There are more rats than usual and they are becoming bigger. They are not scared of people, they look straight at you,” she said.
Health experts said the rat infestation posed a great risk which could “explode” if not brought under control.
“The city hasn’t been very good in dealing with this problem. Rats can spread ove

eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede will be appearing in the regional commercial crimes court in Durban on Tuesday, in what is expected to become one of the most high-profile corruption cases in recent years.
Gumede is expected to be handing herself over to the Hawks, following which she will be appearing in court on a string of corruption-related charges.
City Press understands that Gumede (58) will be appearing alongside senior municipal councillor Mondli Mthembu on charges including money laundering, corruption and racketeering.
“She will then apply for bail which the state is not intending to oppose,” said a senior law enforcement official privy to the details.
Another senior law enforcement official told City Press this evening: “It is finally happening. I am told that they are bringing a big team of heavy-hitting lawyers. It had all been planned to happen quietly without the knowledge of the media.”
City Press has learnt t

Sh*thole country? – Swimming, surfing and fishing banned in Durban due to raw sewage in water – surf contest, been called to protect the safety and health of surfers
Leave a comment
Swimming, surfing and fishing have been banned in Durban due to raw sewage in the water. Hundreds of thousands of litres of raw sewage is flowing into the port every hour.
The eThekwini municipality’s health unit, on Thursday, ordered the City’s parks, recreation and culture department to ban all bathing on Durban’s beaches until further notice.
An associated letter circulated by Transnet National Ports Authority, states that the “severe sewage discharge” stems from the “failure of pumps at the eThekwini municipality’s Mahatma Gandhi Pump Station” – one of the deepest and biggest waste treatment facilities in the city.
Diving operations, essential to the port’s ship repair precinct, as well as all fishing in the Port of Durban have also been suspended.
“Given the potential threat of infection to diving personnel, we have taken the decision to suspend all diving operations,̶
