South Africa’s matric class of 2019 has achieved impressive results, but may struggle to find work as the country faces constrained employment in 2020. John Botha, chief operation officer at Global Business Solutions, said that this is highlighted by the country’s current growth level. Using a labour elasticity formula he noted that for each 1%..

Eskom is now clearly lying, obfuscating and playing with words after it came to light that they are planning to pay out R1, 8 billion in bonuses by saying that it is 13th cheques, not bonuses.

Take into consideration that it was Nersa – National Energy Regulator of South Africa – that called it bonuses in court papers, which is obviously statements made under oath.
Does Eskom now wants us to believe them over Nersa?
Eskom is now playing word and mind games with us by saying that it is 13th cheques, not bonuses . They also say that not all employees are entitled to these 13th cheques. That is where the lie alarm is going off and red flags are going up. What kind of employer does not give a uniform salary structure to its employees? Eskom also says. that employees can choose themselves if they want their total salary package to be divided into 12 or 13 cheques
So if we follow what Eskom has lied, we can then logically conclude that if an employee choose to have 13 pay packages per year and still gets an amount only intended for some employees, but not all, that amount only due for some is in fact a 14th cheque then.
Cash-strapped Road Accident Fund struggles to pay billions in outstanding debt – This is just another SOE that is collapsing under ANC-regime’s rule
Posted on Leave a comment
As thousands of road accident victims are anxiously waiting to be compensated by the cash-strapped Road Accident Fund (RAF) following court orders in their favour, the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, is expected to soon deal with the fund’s inability to pay up.
Hundreds of claimants recently turned to the court where they had obtained an urgent order to attach eight of the RAF’s Absa bank accounts. The bank was ordered to use the proceeds from the accounts to pay the 346 injured victims.
The RAF in turn headed to court last month, in which it wanted this order lifted, as it said it simply couldn’t afford to pay these claimants, as its outstanding debt was more than R17billion. The fund said it couldn’t operate without its bank accounts as it is was struggling to stay afloat.
This application was not entertained by the urgent court, which meant that the bank accounts remained attached. But it came to light that the RAF then instruct

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

BEE has de-industrialised SA, pushed it backwards in time – The oppressed has become the oppressor, and technological advancement is no longer possible as we enter the New Sanitation Dark Age
Posted on Leave a comment
Zimbabwe had land expropriation as the spark that caused its economy to implode. South Africa has a slower, but equally insidious, government policy that is pushing it backwards in time: Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).
This warped system has enabled corrupt individuals to benefit personally from contracts as the country’s key services have steadily eroded. While BEE provided the mechanisms for state capture, the SA-specific term for wide-scale graft, it has also facilitated the spread of parasites that have, and continue to, suck the life-blood out of the country. This is the assessment of environmental expert Professor Anthony Turton, who warned some years back that Eskom was in critical condition – but no-one was listening. Now raw sewage flows in many streets and the electricity is turned off for hours on end, in what looks like a return of sorts to the dark ages, he points out. Turton’s article, republished here with kind permission of the Daily

An arson case is under investigation after 24 train wagons were set on fire at the Bloemfontein train station.
Police spokesman Brig. Motantsi Makhele says that an employee of Prasa saw that smoke was coming out of a bunch of train cars standing next to the train track around 2.30pm on Saturday. He went to investigate and found 24 burning train wagons. Each one of the wagons is about R4 million work.
According to Makhele, the cause of the fire is still being investigated, but it has already been established that there was no fuel or electricity supply in the wagons.
A Prasa spokeswoman could not be reached for comment this morning.

#TheAfricanWay – Another day, another black school burnt down – Black learners may now have (want) to get their education in traditionally white schools?
Posted on Leave a comment
South Africa is two days into 2020 and the first school burns. The Tokelo High School in the Vaal Triangle lost four classrooms due to arson. Panyaza Lesufi, the MEC of Education in Gauteng, is disappointed with the R4 million damage done.
It was soon established that arsonists are responsible for the damage, but the motive is unknown.
It is the umpteenth school where blacks learners receive education that were partially or totally destroyed by arsonists. Damage to school buildings over the past decade amounts to millions of Rand.
Observers are asking why only black schools are being burned, as it creates the impression that it is deliberate because they want to be educated in traditionally white schools?
