ANC – The Heunis Chronicles
Suid-Afrika se dae getel?
Hierdie vraag duik nou weer in my gedagtes op nadat ek van ‘n goeie vriend verneem het dat hulle Elliot Mashile, voorsitter van die Oos-Kaap se drankraad moes omkoop om hulle lisensie te kry. Blykbaar het die vark ‘n moerse fancy kar en ‘n moerse salaris, maar hy het nie geld vir petrol in sy kar nie!!!! Met die omkopery het hy ‘n dranklisensie, wat gewoonlik maande neem, binne 24-uur gereël. Al sou ek nooit wetend sou iets self doen nie, neem ek nie my vriend kwalik nie; hulle het alles aan hulle kant reg gedoen en moes al lankal die lisensie gehad. Maar die raad is so treurig hulle funksioneer eenvoudig nie. Of hulle verwag om omgekoop te word.
Op dieselfde dag verneem ek van ‘n ander vriend wat die lokale verkeersdepartement moes omkoop vir ‘n een of ander lisensie. Ek het self al – geheel en al onwetend – ‘n verkeersbeampte afgepers en my loodgieter het (sonder my toestemming) die bouinspekteur omgekoop namens my. Ek moes my prokureur betaal om die NHBRC te dagvaar sodat ek my sertifikaat kon kry want ek was nie beried om hulle om te koop nie.
Ons woonbuurt se strate is in haglike toestand, maar Ndlambe Munisipaliteit het niks geld om enigiets reg te maak nie. Die hoofberig in gister se Herald gaan oor Ndlambe se baie ernstige watertekort. En die ergste is dat dit nie eers so droog is nie; die munisipaliteit het net nie die vermoeë om die situasie te bestuur nie. Nou word tientalle ontwikkelings wat hierdie onderontwikkelde area broodnodig het net eenvoudig gestop; tot wie weet wanneer. Ons bedryf ‘n restaurant en water is ‘n noodsaaklikheid. Nou gaan hulle waarskynlik ons water afsny in Desember; die een periode in die jaar wat ons moet skep.
Eskom, ons enigste verskaffer van krag, se pryse gaan op met 45% per jaar vir 3 jaar. Dit beteken dat waar ons besigheid se krag ons nou R4000 per maand kos, sal dit in 2012 R12,000 per maand wees!! En ons is nie ‘n groot besigheid nie. Terloops Eskom Voorsiening (waar die grootste gemors is) se grootste sub-kontrakteur is Hitachi Power Africa en hulle grootste aandeelhouer? Die ANC!
Al hierdie terminale probleme kan oor die lang termyn uitgesorteer word deur mense met die regte vaardighede aan te stel in sleutelposte. Die feit wat baie linksgesindes en die ANC nie wil erken nie is dat meeste van hierdie mense wit is. En die ANC (lees Regering, Polisie, Lokale Regering, Eskom, Telkom, Groot Besigheid ens) weier om witmense aan te stel. Witmense word geheel en al gemarginaliseer. En die ergste van alles is witmense wil bydra. Hulle is bereid om opofferings te maak. Maar die nuwe Suid-Afrika soek nie witmense nie. Die reënboog is baie vinnig besig om swart te raak.
Ongelukkig dink ek dit gaan nog erger raak. Gister het Jacob Zuma, ons eerbare President (wat steeds nog nie sy dag in die hof gehad het nie) gesê dat die erg radikale Julius Malema, leier van die ANC se jeugliga, ‘n goeie leier vir die ANC sal wees. Hy het gesê die ANC is Malema se ‘inheritance’! Almal weet dit seker teen die tyd, maar Malema is ‘n imbesiel wat nie heeltemal matriek kon deurkom nie. Hy spoeg vuur en is openlik rassisties teenoor witmense. Cosatu is baie ontstel oor Eskom se voorgestelde tariewe en tog sal hulle (deur hulle ANC verteenwoordigers) nie ‘n private kragvoorsiener toelaat nie. Laas week is nog ‘n kragtige matige, Joel Netshitenzhe, uitgewerk deur die Kommunistiese elemente in die ANC. Ekonome erken dat hierdie verskynsel saam met die aanstelling van die uiters linkse Pravin Gordhan lei tot kommer.
Dit alles terwyl misdaad, korrupsie en armoede net meer raak. Hierdie is die tipe goed wat lei tot burgeroorloë. Rian Malan, voorheen linksgesinde joernalis en skrywer van My Traitor’s Heart, het onlangs gesê hy dink Suid-Afrika is op pad na ‘n burgeroorlog toe.
In my frustrasie het ek nou net aanlyn gekyk of ons kan werk in Holland. Ons kan; enige plek in Europa. Ons het nie papierwerk nodig nie omdat ons Britse Burgers is. Dit is vir my ongelooflik hartseer om dit te sê en ek wens dat was anders, maar ons is besig om in daai koers te dink. Uit die aard van die saak moet ons nog baie dink en bespreek voordat ons ‘n besluit maak, maar dit is nou ‘n oorweging waar dit vroeër nie was nie. Ek is gatvol vir korrupsie, omkopery, graft, rassisme, slaggate, geen dienslewering, misdaad en onkunde en mense wat al hierdie fundamentele probleme probeer afmaak as “nie so erg nie”!

Zuma’s “aqcuital” exposes black South Africans
The NPA today made the expected anouncement that they are not going to prosecute ANC leader and president designate Jacob Zuma for countless (700+) cases of fraud. It is a dark day for South Africa. I don’t know whether Zuma is guilty or not, but based on the fact that he had R4m in his bank account (fact) and never paid income tax for 8 years (fact) and that his accountant went to jail for fraud (fact) I think he is more than likely guilty. I don’t deny him the “innocent until proven guilty” principle, but Zuma and his puppet master(s) did everything in their considerable power to avoid him going to trial. That smells awfully bad! Read this ABC article about the Zuma case for specifics.
South Africa as a developing nation under the rule of law took a major blow today. We are now closer to a Banana Republic than we have ever been. Zuma and the ANC manipulated and intimidated everyone from the Constitutional Court (through Zuma’s mate Hlope) to the National Prosecuting Authority into submission. They have now clearly set the example that if you are the Chief you are above the law. Like Idi Amien in Uganda, Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe; Charles Taylor in Liberia and indeed most of Africa. Tribalism still reigns supreme!
Even more upsetting is that despite Zuma’s strongly alleged corruption charges, the systemic corruption of the ANC and civil service under the ANC and everything else that is going wrong with South Africa, most blacks are still expected to vote for the ANC. To these people I say that in this Democracy you will get only what you deserve. You must know that you will elect Zuma, a more-than-likely thief, to be your president. The money that he and his cronies have stolen and will steal is your money. It is the money that you could have built a house or educated your children with. You are the ones that will stay in this land that Zuma and the ANC rapes & pillages till nothing works and there is no Justice.
To the people that vote for Jacob Zuma I say that you will never be treated as equals by the West if you are too stupid and/or cowardly to vote for Jacob Zuma. You will always be the world’s basket case. You will always have to beg if you don’t have the guts and intellectual capability to vote for someone other than the Big Fat Lazy Chief.
The people that vote for the ANC (this time around) represent the failure of Africa; intellectually challenged, tribalist, racist, gutless and weak.
Note: This post may seem racially motivated, but it is precisely not. It addresses Black weaknesses in this country simply because our political landscape is determined by Black voters. Besides that very few Whites are expected to vote for Zuma. If I wrote this blog 20 years ago I would have written about the (now obvious) White weaknesses in this country.

Another ANC politician above the law
Yet another top-level ANC politician escaped justice & punishment when Magistrate Ricardo Phillips found Tony Yengeni, former whip of the ANC, not guilty of Drunken Driving. The horrifying thing is that the Magistrate said that the case was unlawful because the arresting officers were ordered by the then commander at the Goodwood police station, senior superintendent Siphiwo Hewana, to “orchestrate an advantage favourable to the accused”. In other words they gave him an advantage and in so doing made his arrest unlawful!! Can you believe such utter nonsense.
Yengeni is not the 1st high-profile ANC member to get off on a technicality – Jacob Zuma also had similar “luck” in his fraud case. It is such an occurring theme that I really don’t trust the police, the NPA or the Magistrates & Judges anymore. Basically the message to the general public is if you’re an high-ranking ANC member or government official you can drive around pissed and steal money from your people without fear. I wouldn’t be surprised if Judge Nkola Motata also comes off scot-free. And then these bastards can’t figure out why crime is out-of-control in this country.
To their credit the DA have said that they are going to take action against the alleged crooked cops, BUT this should’ve been done by the Police & the NPA themselves.
I am utterly disappointed with the legal system in this country – right now it is a joke.

Afrikaners vs Suid-Afrika
Hierdie skrywe is kommentaar op Of generations, arseholes, Isreal and volkstate, ‘n uitmindende weldeurdagte skrywe deur Mhambi, en sy kommentaar.
‘n Mens (lees Marthinus) moet nie jou kop breek oor die woord liberalisme nie. Dis semantics. In sekere gevalle is liberalisme nie ‘n slegte ding nie. Maar ek stem 100% saam met jou dat “unquestioning tolerance” ook nie gesond is nie. Op die oomblik is almal gefokus op “verdraagsaamheid” dit en “verdraagsaamheid” dat. Maar ek wil nie ‘n kultuur wat moor en roof en verkrag verdra nie. Ek gee nie om hoe polities inkorrek dit is nie. Dis onaanvaarbaar dat Suid-Afrikaners (wit & swart) daagliks moet vrees vir hulle lewens. En net Swartmense, dmv demokrasie, kan dit uitsorteer. Dit maak my bekommerd want in die res van Afrika kon hulle dit nog nie uitsorteer nie.
Mhambi jy skryf rêrig goed. Die een ding waarmee ek nie saamstem nie is oor die gesondheid van die Afrikaner. Ek dink ons is in ‘n beter toestand as wat mense besef. Kyk ‘n bietjie na besigheid, sport (selfs krieket) & kultuur (oukei behalwe vir ou Steve). Die Afrikaner laat hom geld.
Ek stry ook nie dat ons Moerse struikelblokke in die land het nie. Maar ons het rêrig nêrens anders om heen te gaan nie (ek was 8 jaar in Londen en ek belowe jou daar is maar een land vir Afrikaners en dis Suid-Afrika). Dit gaan nie maklik wees nie, maar juis die feit dat ons nêrens heen het om die gaan nie het ‘n huge bearing op die Afrikaner se toekoms. Ons moet dit maak werk. Ek dink baie Afrikaners, soos ek, sien dit as ‘n positiewe uitdaging.
Ek is ‘n moerse trotse Afrikaner. Delarey, Paul Kruger, FW de Klerk en selfs Charlize Theron is my helde. Maar ek is ook ‘n trotse Suid-Afrikaner. Bryan Habana, Nelson Mandela, Aggrey Klaaste en Prince Mashele is ook my helde. Myns insiens kan jy altwee wees: Afrikaner en Suid-Afrikaner. Maar dit beteken nie ‘n mens moet die k@k wat die ANC (of wieookal) praat aanvaar nie. En dit beteken nie dat ‘n mens die slegte dinge van die Swart kultuur moet aanvaar nie.

Racist ANC to destroy Springbok legacy
Racist ANC targets the Springbok
It has emerged that the ANC, through its influence, aims to take over Springbok Rugby after this year’s world cup. Rumours are that the Springbok team will be coached by a sub-standard coloured coach (Pieter de Villiers) and will have 10 black/coloured players on the field at all times. Luke Watson is set to be the captain. To put things in perspective there are presently 2 black players (Bryan Habana and Guthro Steenkamp) in the side on merit and Luke Watson (the son of anti-Apartheid activist Cheeky Watson) isn’t even in the top 6 loose-forwards in the country.
I don’t care what your background is or what your political views are, but surely this must raise a red flag to anyone that supports democracy and deplores racism. The rhetoric of these rugby officials is comparable to Hitler in Nazi Germany. I just hope that the senior ANC members see how dangerous these precedents are and stops it. I’m just not sure they know how fundamentally wrong this is. This would be a good way to head for that Banana Republic that Mbeki hates to hear about so much.
The only positive outcome if this disturbing vision would ever realise would be if we saw a breakaway group formed of merit-based (black, white, coloured etc) players/administrators. I’m certain this group would have support from the businesses that matter (Supersport, Vodacom, Fox/Newscorp) and most importantly the viewing/paying public. To my mind this is probably the only thing that can save rugby from a meddling racist government.
