Medupi with erection costs of R234 billion is still not functioning optimally due to poor construction and inexperienced workers

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa makes an official visit to the Medupi power plant in the Northern Transvaal, which, after years of construction, still does not function properly.

The ANC president apparently wants to do “inspection” at the poorly constructed power plant that fails to supply its supposed capacity.

The visit comes as the whole of Eskom is struggling because of a debt burden of R450bn that, according to economic experts, will not be completed within the next 25 years, regardless of who runs the place and how it will be unbundled.

The construction of the Medupi coal-fired power station has been criticized not only by environmentalists, but also by experts for the poor construction erected by inexperienced workers.

The power station has hit South Africa’s debt burden with a total erection cost of R234 billion, while not built well enough to deliver its full capacity.

Those who are not in favor of the ANC are delighted with the developments: Power struggle amidst ANC ranks – Cadres are turning against each other for office

Posted on Leave a comment

A complaint filed at the Office of the Public Protector sheds some light on the fierce power struggle in the ranks of the ANC and its government.

The complainant who prefers to remain anonymous claims that Minister Lindiwe Sisulu is playing a chess game to get the deputy president removed from office to take office herself.

The Office of the Public Protector declined to comment on the complaint, strengthening the suspicion that such a complaint was received by Busisiwe Mkhwebane.

According to reports, Minister Lindiwe Sisulu is appointing loyal supporters in her department with the intention of pushing David Mabuza out of office as vice president and then taking the seat herself.

The move suggests that it puts her in a strong position to succeed Ramaphosa, especially if Mabuza’s influence is illuminated and the ANC president will receive much less support without his deputy’s influence.

ANC regime gets billed for R100m for 35,000 election posters – The taxpayer will probably now have to shake his pockets to pay the bill?

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC Treasury General, Paul Mashatile, was apparently unaware that an invoice was made for the debt to be paid.

It was apparently only when the invoice, with an amount of R102 million, was shown to him, that the sparks flew.

An investigation has now been ordered following the invoice issued for the delivery of 35,000 election posters that were apparently not approved by the party.

Mashatile was apparently unaware of the deal until the invoice was brought to his eyes, and an investigation is now underway as to who is responsible for the mess.

However, it appears that the ANC did receive and use the posters, and will thereby also be responsible for paying the bill.

It’s time to man up, Cyril – Ramaphoria is dead and SA is in the toilet

Posted on Leave a comment

Femicide, rape, murder, a tanking economy – everything’s getting worse, and action from the top is our only hope

SA is in a terrible spiral of negativity. The past two weeks have been horrendous: men killing women, men raping children, supposedly “pro-poor” politicians like Julius Malema allegedly feeding himself from monies stolen from grandmothers’ pensions at VBS Bank, the country’s finances in a terrible state and about to be tipped into junk status, the crime statistics worse than they have ever been – and the economy continuing in the downward spiral it’s been on for ages.

Lest we forget, Hlaudi Motsoeneng appeared at the Zondo commission into state capture and reminded all of us just how absolutely horrific, low-grade and corrupt the past 10 years of our lives were. If you want to see the epitome of a failed state, you just have to listen to any five minutes of his appearance at the commission this past week and you would w

South Africa chaos: Ramaphosa becoming defensive towards SA’s Banana Republic

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, was on the defensive all the time last week because South Africa is recognized as a banana republic.

This is the opinion of a political analyst in Pretoria after various incidents of different kinds,put Ramaphosa in a bad light.

The charges against Ramaphosa began with the Public Protector who rightly showed him that he had lied to parliament about R500,000 in his bank account.

The violence on women started by the ANC Women’s League as a subject of contention has forced him to convene a special session of parliament to provide an opportunity for debate.

At the funeral of Mugabe, where every political leader from Africa was requested to sing his praises, it was Ramaphosa who was a disgrace and had to apologize to Africa for the anti-mass immigration violence in his own country.

Ramaphosa’s praises of dictator Mugabe is a slap in the face of millions of Zimbabwean residents who had to flee the country

Posted on Leave a comment

ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa’s praise of Robert Mugabe has drawn sharp criticism from his own and liberal ranks.

Ramaphosa’s description of Mugabe as an “outstanding leader” in Africa, according to the media, is a slap in the face of millions of Zimbabwean residents who had to flee to SA because of Mugabe’s policies and human rights violations. Ramaphosa is now openly described as characterless and a chameleon who will say so today and tomorrow will change his position again just in favor of his listeners.

The views that show that things are going even worse with South Africa than Zuma was in power are accepted from several places, and there is the suspicion that he will not serve as president for long.

Anti-mass immigration violence is raging in SA despite the ANC president’s declaration that action will be taken on offenders

Posted on Leave a comment

Violence against foreigners escalated this past weekend amid the ANC president’s statement that action will be taken against the perpetrators.

Even more businesses were targeted over the weekend and police rubber bullets and grenades could not stop the angry residents from continuing with their looting.

Police have confirmed that a renewed wave of xenophobia has erupted, and many foreigners’ shops and property have been looted and stripped of their goods.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian government is considering retaliation by nationalizing the larger businesses there. Institutions such as MTN and Shoprite could possibly be in the running.

SA is collapsing and the bad conditions will put residents at the same level as Zimbabwe’s people

Posted on Leave a comment

Political analysts say that conditions in South Africa are now deteriorating by the day, and the bad conditions are now putting residents at the same level as in Zimbabwe.

The police service that has lost thousands of rounds of ammunition without any action being taken against the culprits indicates the dire security situation that prevails.

The country’s Defense Force was evaluated by experts about two years ago and it was found that its hitting power is now no better than it was in the 1930s when the the Air Force had more pilots than are currently employed after the best ones have already left the country.

The prospect that the government now wants to activate the so-called “National Health Plan” means that two things are waiting for the Westerners in the country:

That is, they will eventually no longer have a Medical Aid, and secondly, the health plan will follow the same route as Eskom, Denel, SABC, SAA, and others that are und

Cyril who? US reporter refers to Ramaphosa as ‘unidentified leader’

Posted on Leave a comment

An American journalist has drawn the ire of South Africans after she tweeted a picture of world leaders at the G7 Summit in Biarritz, France, identifying three heads of state except for President Cyril Ramaphosa, whom she refers to as an “unidentified leader”.

Darlene Superville, a White House correspondent for the Associated Press, tweeted on Sunday: “World leader bear hug before the group photo @ #G7Summit in Biarritz, France. @EmmanuelMacron @narendramodi @JustinTrudeau and one unidentified leader.”

She tagged Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, and Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, but somehow could not identify Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa arrived at the summit on Sunday and aims to market South Africa as an investment destination and trade partner during the summit, Fin24 reported.

“The working visit will also provide a platform for President Ramaphos
