Die Nasionale Demokratiese Rewolusie - Tweede Demokratiese Rewolusie van die ANC-Regering
"Daar moet geen twyfel wees nie dat ons as land vinnig op pad is na die SAKP se visie van eers ’n sosialistiese en uiteindelike ’n volle kommunistiese staat."
Die rooi gevaar is terug (of was hy ooit weg?)
Steve Hofmeyr het die politieke spyker op die kop geslaan toe hy ná Sondag se aankondiging van die kabinet op Twitter gesê het dat die ou apartheidsera se ooms en tannies nog korrek bewys sal word oor die “rooi gevaar”.
Ondanks talle verkiesingsontledings oor die afgelope twee weke is die SAKP se naam amper nooit genoem nie. Maar kyk na die kabinet en parlement, en dit lyk of die SAKP die verkiesing gewen het.
’n Uitstekende stuk navorsing deur een van ons interns, Yolanda Andrag, het gewys dat meer as 40% van die kabinetsposte aan huidige of vorige SAKP-lede gegee is.
Lank geïgnoreer as ’n irrelevante “bangmaak-storie”, is die “rooi gevaar” nie net terug nie – hy is in beheer. En dit het nooit verdwyn nie.
’n DA-LP het verlede jaar aan my verduidelik dat die meeste ANC-LP’s die parlement sien as ’n groot restaurant waar hulle elke dag kom kuier voordat hulle weer huis toe gaan. Hul standpunte word vir hulle voorgesê uit Luthuli-huis – waar die voormalige SAKP-voorsitter Gwede Mantashe in beheer is – en lewer geen persoonlike bydrae oor beleidstandpunte nie.
Daar is net een uitsondering op die *reël – die kommuniste in die parlement. Hulle werk glo geweldig hard om idees voor te stel wat beleid sal beïnvloed. Dit is glo die geval in van die parlement tot die kleinste stadsraad in die land.
Stilletjies sit hulle agter die troon met geweldig groot invloed op die denkrigting van die ANC. Sulke invloed maak ook uit ’n historiese oogpunt sin omdat die kommuniste lank as die enjin van idees in ANC-geledere gedien het.
Die afgelope jaar wys hoe enorm daardie invloed geword het. Sedert die Nasionale Ontwikkelingsplan te midde van toejuiging van die sakegemeenskap as regeringsbeleid aanvaar is, het die volgende beleidsveranderings plaasgevind:
* Nuwe, strenger, rasgedrewe regstellende-aksie-wetgewing is voorgestel;
* Nuwe swartbemagtigingswetgewing, insluitend tronkstraf vir oortreders, is voorgestel;
* Beleggingsooreenkomste met 15 Westerse lande is gekanselleer;
* Die staat het wetgewing voorgestel wat dit moontlik sal maak dat hy enige kommersiële bate sonder vergoeding kan gryp;
* ’n Nuwe tydperk vir grondeise is oopgegooi;
* Daar is voorgestel dat boere 50% van hul grond “weggee”;
* Wetgewing is voorgestel om dele van die private veiligheidsektor te ont*eien;
* Wetgewing is ingestel om sekere nuwe olie- en gasbeleggings te onteien.
Dit is alles gerig op staatsoorname en beheer.
Daar kan geen duideliker uitbeelding wees van die invloed wat SAKP-*denke op beleid het nie. Natuurlik sal vele ontleders – ondanks die harde bewysstukke – die invloed ontken. Maar hulle moet versigtig wees. Net soos die duiwel is die SAKP se gevaarlikste bate die vermoë om die wêreld te oorreed dat hy nie bestaan nie. Maar vee jou oë uit, en jy besef dat die party se invloed nou so ver strek dat ’n mens sou kon redeneer dat hy beleidsvorming oorgeneem het.
Daar moet geen twyfel wees nie dat ons as land vinnig op pad is na die SAKP se visie van eers ’n sosialistiese en uiteindelike ’n volle kommunistiese staat.
Die wonder is dat die SAKP se naam nooit op ’n stembrief verskyn nie.

Dreigende hongersnood moontlik die resultaat van die nimmereindige stakings in Suid-Afrika, waarsku die ekonoom Mike Schüssler
South Africa striking itself into poverty
Johannesburg - The number of strikes is bringing South Africa to a crossroad, and the traffic light is dead as the power remains off, warned economist Mike Schüssler in an opinion piece written for TreasuryOne.
"This is not a fantasy of some or other futurist, but is clear in economic growth performance numbers over the last two or three years," he said.
In the first six months of 2014 the country has lost about 8 million man days.
"This is the highest start ever and the biggest effect on the private sector and economic growth by far," said Schüssler.
Over 7.4 million work days have been lost by striking workers in the platinum sector, but more than 5.2 million other work days have been affected by the strike.
In other sectors strike days lost are heading for 300 000, not counting Numsa intending to take 175 000 metal workers on strike.
Previous Numsa strikes lasted for three and four weeks in two subsectors in the motor vehicle industry.
"Other economic data such as negative real rates for 30 of the last 32 months and huge government deficits to support growth are having little effect," said Schüssler.
"The weak rand, as we pointed out before, has meant little as real structural issues keep the economy from growing, namely power, water, transport linkages, education and too few entrepreneurs."
It seems to him the penny has not quite dropped as slogans and myths still make the debate in contrast to the harsh reality.
"Slogans are the life blood of getting political support in South Africa, but they do not put bread on the table. The boogeymen many a politician has put out there is not the reason for the slow growth, low employment and huge poverty," said Schüssler.
"In most cases, it is the opposite of what is needed."
Using only data available until the beginning of June, strike data show that SA now has its highest five year average ever.
"Economic growth is undermined by strike action, and government seems powerless to put a stop to this increasing trend after a decade of more peaceful industrial relations," said Schüssler.
"Clearly South Africa is striking itself into a low growth trap and increasing poverty and inequality. Nobody hears the actual poor as poverty has no real voice and quietly the real money seeks other alternatives."
He said a country cannot strike itself rich.
"It can, however, inflict much damage and the poverty and inequality out of this action means that political stability will be at risk."
Schüssler said SA is striking itself out of growth into recession.

The Tripartite Alliance: ANC/SACP/COSATU
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party(SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.

Die Nasionale Demokratiese Rewolusie - 'n Tweede radikale Demokratiese Rewolusie:
The second, more radical phase of the National Democratic Revolution and the struggle for socialism.
Address by SACP General Secretary Blade Nzimande
6 June 2014 - Boksburg, Gauteng Province
The SACP held its first Central Committee Plenary Session over the past weekend, form 30 May to 1 June following the fifth democratic general election held on 7 May. This congress is an important opportunity for us to share our perspectives arising out of the Central Committee on recent and unfolding developments, as well as on the tasks that lie ahead in our national democratic revolution and the struggle for socialism.
In particular, this congress is in many ways one of the direct outcomes of the Fifth democratic general election and the disciplined implementation by your union, of Cosatu`s strategies in relation to our alliance, the national democratic revolution and the struggle for socialism.
The SACP pledges its revolutionary solidarity and support to your union in facilitating a smooth leadership transition; continuing to advance and deepen our shared perspectives on the strategic importance of our alliance; and on the ever relevant need to deepen, advance, defend and take responsibility for the national democratic revolution and the struggle for socialism.
The bottom line is that the ANC-led alliance has won the Fifth general election with an overwhelming vote of confidence and majority. This victory is a decisive popular mandate to advance boldly with a second, more radical phase of the democratic transformation of our country.
Let us now cement our ANC-led alliance election victory with an uninterrupted, decisive advance to our second, more radical phase of the national democratic revolution!
For the SACP, the content of the second, more radical phase of our transition must be understood in the context of the dialectical relationship between the national democratic revolution and socialism. This means advancing, deepening, defending and taking responsibility for the national democratic revolution as a foundation for and as the most direct route to building socialism in the concrete conditions of our country. Conversely, this means intensifying the struggle, building momentum towards, capacity for and elements of socialism as the most consistent means for advancing, deepening, defending and taking responsibility for the national democratic revolution. These two dimensions of our Party`s long-standing strategic perspective, the national democratic and the socialist revolution, are not contradictory but mutually reinforcing.
In the period preceding the ANC`s 52nd National Conference there was an intensive and extensive debate about the national democratic revolution. In combat with revisionism, which sought to disconnect the perspective of the national democratic revolution from its roots in the struggle for socialism, it was the SACP and Cosatu that correctly argued that the national democratic revolution had to be radical, radicalised and radicalising. Today this correct perspective is shared by our entire alliance. This perspective is now at the centre of the programme of our government, the Fifth democratically elected administration.
The second, more radical phase of the national democratic revolution must advance the strategic transformation of the ownership and control function of key commanding heights of the economy. This has always been one of the main goals of our struggle. In this regard, narrow BEE cannot be an option. For an overwhelming majority of our people who are excluded from narrow BEE, the broadening and transformation of the ownership function must lead to socialisation. This would necessarily require building a strong public sector in the context of our shared perspective in the ANC-led alliance election manifesto - building a democratic developmental state. Similarly, we need to foster an extensive and vibrant co-operative sector and generally more effective worker control of among others social capital like pension and provident funds. Investments from these funds must be channelled to transformative, productive activity and interventions in the conditions facing workers.
This, the second, more radical phase of the national democratic revolution must accelerate and complete land reform in both rural and urban areas, focused on food production and security, sustainable livelihoods and integrated urbanisation. In particular, creative ways must be established to implement support including necessary means and capacity in line with the Freedom Charter for those who work the land. This must form part of the central pillars of our land reform and agrarian transformation policy, learning from the setbacks encountered in the first phase of the transition.
We know that you have gathered here for a day. We wish you all the success you need!

A GLIMPSE INTO HISTORY: THE MIRACLE OF HENDRIK FRENCH VERWOERD
BY EDITOR– JUNE 22, 2014
The miracle of Dr. HF Verwoerd (Prime Minister of South Africa 1958 -1966):
South Africa became the second fastest growing economy (7,9 % and growing) in the world (during the 1960 decade). And Jaap Marais’s (passed away leader of the HNP) correct analysis of his assassination and the prediction of the future economic destruction of South Africa, today a modern day prophet: “Verwoerd’s biggest critics were the English speaking press in South Africa, but let us look at what the “Rand Daily Mail” (a sworn enemy of Verwoerd) on 30th of July 1966 wrote about this great man. “At the age of 65 Dr. Verwoerd has reached the peak of a remarkable career.
No other South African Prime Minister has ever been in such a powerful position in the country. He is at the head of a massive majority after a resounding victory at the polls. The nation is suffering from a surfeit of prosperity and he can command almost unlimited funds for all that he needs at present in the way of military defense. He can claim that South Africa is a shining example of peace in a troubled continent, if only, because overwhelming domestic power can always command peace.
Finally, as if that were not enough, he can face the session (of parliament) with the knowledge that, short of an unthinkable show of force by people whom South Africans are rapidly being taught to regard as their enemies, he can snap his fingers at the United Nations. Thanks to the recent judgement of the Hague Court (on the South West Africa issue) he can afford to condescend to the world body, graciously remaining a member as long as it suits him. Indeed, the Prime Minister has never had it so good.” Jaap Marais was another of these so called educated “Dumb Dutchmen”. He was a politician, an attorney a devoted ornithologists as well as the man who translated William Shakespeare’s “Julius Ceaser” into Afrikaans. Marais states that under Verwoerd and his policy of “Separate development (“Apartheid”), the living standards of Blacks were rising at 5,4% per year against that of the whites at 3,9% per year. In 1965 the economic growth of South Africa was the second highest in the world at 7,9%. The rate of inflation was a mere 2% per annum and the prime interest rate only 3% per annum.
Domestic savings were so great that South Africa needed no foreign loans for normal economic expansion. “Time magazine”, eleven days before Dr. Verwoerd’s assassination, wrote, “South Africa is in the midst of a massive boom. Attracted by cheap labor, a gold backed currency and high profits, investors from all over the world have ploughed money into the country, and the new industries that they have started have sent production, consumption – and the demand for labour – soaring. Such are the proportions of prosperity…”
A few months before Dr. Verwoerd was assassinated, the editor of the British periodical, “Statist”, Paul Bareau, wrote… “At the rate at which South Africa is now expanding the term „miracle” is likely to be appropriate to its development over the next few years”. In other words, South Africa was an emerging economic and military threat to the Anglo American establishment. Nevertheless… All of this, South Africa under Nationalism, achieved despite of worldwide arms embargoes, economic sanctions and the entire world supporting the enemies of South Africa.
More remarkable was that Vorster (traitor) started systematically undoing the foundation of all that Verwoerd built up. This would later be carried on by P.W. Botha and F.W. De Klerk who would eventually hand over the country to Marxist Terrorist rule.”
Jaap Marais prophetic prediction: ” Total destruction of the South African economy and a chaotic black revolution that will follow: – “
Verwoerd’s two biggest opponents in South Africa was the Jew banksters Harry Oppenheimer and Anton Rupert. Rupert and Oppenheimer wanted to privatize the banking sector under Jewish control- but Verwoerd was not to be found for that. Verwoerd and Rupert had an argument around the issue once- which led to Verwoerd nearly throwing Rupert out of his office. Verwoerds’s point of view was that the mineral riches of the country belong to all the people of South Africa. He was heavily opposed to a Jewish mineral monopoly in South Africa as we have today. He also blocked the Federal Reserve becoming a private institution but saw it as a National asset. Verwoerd was a visionary and knew should the Fed become a private institution- the Jew mobsters in New York would have the monopoly on our gold reserves. He went further and signed a law that the Reserve was to stay in National public ownership. For this hardline patriotism to his country and opposing the Jewish mob – Verwoerd literally signed his own death warrant! It was on the end Harry Oppenheimer – in co-operation with the National Party- that organized through his Carnegie connections overseas for Verwoerd to be assassinated. This was organized by the CIA through their “lone nut” ( a mix race bastard Dimitri Tsavendas)-black ops method- the same as Lee Harvey Oswald was used in the assassination of Kennedy and the two blacks in the assassination of Eugene Terreblanche. The signed law barring the Fed from becoming Jewish property mysteriously “disappeared” in the dark corridors of the British created National Party- and was quickly “amended” to change this clause when Blackie Swartz (another Jewish appointee)- came to power.
Verwoerd also initiated the Bantu homelands- a system that was implemented to give the black population their own homelands or states where they could rule themselves independently as sovereign nations. Central government would supply the financial needs and building of the infrastructure. Verwoerd’s motto was that no nation has the right to govern another nation. He believed that whites must rule themselves independently- as well as all the different black tribes as they did when whites came to South Africa the first time. This vision was dubiously contorted and twisted around by the Jewry in their slander propaganda in their British media- and subsequently dubbed their contorted lie as “Apartheid.” According to their propaganda Verwoerd saw the blacks as a “sub race” with “no” rights- thus the reason he want to “push them aside” from the whites. Meantime just the OPPOSITE was the truth.
Needless to say we know the Jewry was behind this propaganda smear campaign. This they utilized as their main attacking platform to poison the minds of the international community- as well as the local black population.Even the “dompas” (curfew) law- a BRITISH invention in the Cape Colony- was blamed on Verwoerd by the British Jewry media. Thus all their evils they blamed on one man- for dead people cannot talk. Up to today whites are continuously lambasted by this British media dregs for “Apartheid”- in order to keep them on the constant guilt trip to look after and subsidize useless non-working blacks. “Apartheid” became the main focus point of the British media to intimidate whites in South Africa- but they gleefully forget their OWN “Apartheid” with regard to the Scotts and Irish independence. This is TYPICAL the vile Jewry fraternity.
Immediately after Verwoerd’s death- the British media kept on to ridicule his name and blamed “Apartheid” on him to justify and hide their evil conspiracy on their road to run the monopoly of the South African mineral riches. With their Achilles Heel out of the way- their path to destroy and plunder our mineral resources was now open. Through this evil deception, lies , conspiracies and propaganda- they destroyed the country through their own despots like Voster and PW Botha – and introduced their own ultimate henchmen like Mandela into power. The deal at CODESA with the Nguni was quite simple and straight forward: The Jewry keep the minerals- and the black regime can take the country.Secondly must the National Party and ANC work together to empty all the gold in the Federal Reserve – and transfer it to the Jews in America . CITI Bank was utilized for most of the transfers- thus De Klerk and his dogs of hell at CODESA sold ALL the gold belonging to the people of South Africa to the New York Jews to save THEIR economy while the people of this country was deemed “expendable.” Both the ANC AND National Party was on Oppenheimer’s payroll- thus he could dictate the terms easily at CODESA in handing the country to the enemy while many a young white Boer and Afrikaner soldier were dying in South West Africa to protect HIS diamond operations from SWAPO. This was the start of the country’s downhill financial plunge. This also started one of the biggest modern genocides of white people in recent history- with now already more than 70 000 whites brutally murdered while the Jewry keep it’s international media silent about what is happening in South Africa.
It was in the hands of yet another mix race bastard child in FW De Klerk- a hired assassin of the British Jewry-that multiple murders were committed like the Helderberg- and all the gold stolen from the South African Federal Reserve for the Jew banksters in New York. Through this evil little slant-eyed usurper the white nation of South Africa also was delivered into the gates of hell with it’s ANC demonic guardians.
Dr. H.F. Verwoerd, the Dutch-born National Party Prime Minister, who is widely, but incorrectly, credited with creating apartheid. Verwoerd was regarded as white South Africa’s greatest prime minister, and was twice a target for Jewry paid leftist assassins. The first assassination attempt, in which he was shot in the face, failed, but the second, carried out by a mixed-race orderly working in the South African parliament, was successful. Verwoerd was stabbed to death at his seat in the parliamentary building in September 1966.
Mnr. Jaap Marais het as leier van die HNP (wat steeds bestaan) op 20 Julie 1996 die volgende in sy werkstuk Die uitdaging aan die Afrikanervolk genoem. Ek haal aan: “Dat dié bestel inmekaar sal stort, is een van die sekerhede van die toekoms. Daar is ná tallose eksperimente nog nie ’n enkele suksesvolle voorbeeld van ’n parlementêre demokrasie waarin verskillende rasse, gelowe, kulture en volke vreedsaam saamgebind is nie”.

Sy woorde in Augustus 1994: “Omdat hulle prioriteit wraak en uitwissing van die Blanke is sal so ’n ineenstorting met groot bloedvergieting en geweld gepaardgaan. Ons moet ons voorberei vir wanneer al hierdie dinge in duie sal stort.”

Looking back at history we clearly could see that the biggest evil bestowed onto South Africa was the British Jewry. Through their evil assassination- as well as their slandering of Verwoerd’s name through the British media- they have succeeded in bringing South Africa where she is today- from a once healthy economy to a quagmire of financial despair under alien rule with no certain hope for tomorrow. Today the majority mineral rights belong to these Jewry vultures.South Africa was stripped to the bone by these evil Jewsters and their glutenous ANC mobster cohorts. As Jaap Marais correctly predicted- the Jew puppets posing in the colors of the the ANC – who neither is a political party nor a homogenous race but aliens-has led South Africa into a deep recession. South Africa today is firmly in the claws of the Jewry bankers of Britain- and very deep in financial trouble. Had South Africa leaders like Hendrik Vewoerd and Jaap Marais in parliament today- South Africa would have been undesputidly be the most powerful economy in the world- but for the vile British Jews in Wall Street. Now we have a incompetent terrorist movement playing “ government” – a country in a deep recession with more than 40% of it’s populace impoverished and on the grant wagon, more than 600 000 whites out of the job market, non functional state departments and municipal services that is on the brink of a total financial collapse – and a possibility of a pending civil war. South Africa now became the opposite of what Verwoerd made it- a criminal cesspool of bottom dwellers in which nobody are interested to invest anymore.
THIS IS THE JEWRY’S “DEMOCRACY“- which is hailed a far more feasible option than the prosperous “Apartheid”- and a murderous terrorist being recognized by the world rather than an educated statesman. The bottom of politics is that we just must follow the money-line….it’s a dirty game where the first casualty normally is the righteous. ….just like a replay of the historical event between Yahshua of Nasareth and Barnabas where the good had to be sacrificed in order for the evil to prosper.

SA economy will not recover - economist
Oct 17 2014 12:11 Fin24
The economy in South Africa will not recover, agricultural economist Fanie Brink warned on Friday.
He said this remains his view, despite the contrary opinion of a number of economists in a Reuters poll this week.
"The biggest problem in the economy is the fact that the SA Reserve Bank (Sarb) and these economist believe that the primary objective of monetary policy in South Africa - to achieve and maintain price stability - is in the interest of sustainable and balanced economic development and growth," said Brink.
"According to Sarb price stability reduces uncertainty in the economy and, therefore, provides a favourable environment for growth and employment creation."
In Brink's view these beliefs are simply not true, neither possible, as there are only two drivers of economic growth in his view, namely:
* and supply.
"If you don’t have a healthy demand and supply, you don’t have an ‘economy’, never mind economic growth or even a favourable environment for growth and employment creation," warned Brink.
"The biggest problem with price stabilisation is that any government or institution that regulates or mandates price stability does not want to understand that prices have a specific basic function to restore the equilibrium between supply and demand in the economy."
This leads to the fact being ignored that prices will increase and should be allowed to increase if the demand for products and services are higher than the supply.
At the same time it ignores that prices will decrease and should be allowed to decrease if the supply is higher than the demand and that economic growth will be created in the process," explained Brink.
They then also don’t accept and acknowledge the fact that the market forces of demand for and supply of products and services are the only creators and drivers of economic growth and wealth.
According to Brink the big problem with the application of the interest rate policy by Sarb is the fact that interest rates are often increased on the basis of sharp international price increases.
"A higher inflation rate leads the Sarb to increase interest rates to punish the local consumer for these price increases, which he is not responsible for at all. At the same time the higher interest rates have absolutely no influence on the international market forces responsible for the international or local price increases," said Brink.
In his view Sarb's interest rate policy cannot stabilise prices and almost all price decrease are the results of other developments such as the destruction of the demand in the economy.
For example, when the crude oil price and the price of maize - to Brink one of the best indicators of food prices - reached all-time record highs in 2007, the local interest rates were increased sharply to curb the higher inflation.
"This higher inflation rate had nothing to do with higher private consumer expenditure. When the inflation rate declined after 2007 Sarb and all the economists in the country believed it happened because of the higher interest rates," said Brink.
"The fact is that the inflation rate declined for the same reasons it increased when the international crude oil price fell from around $150 a barrel to below $50 a barrel and the international maize price declined from $480 per tonne to $160 per tonne: The demand in the economy was totally destroyed in this process and many consumers and business entities are still suffering financially today because of the higher interest rates."
Sarb has introduced specific targets to stabilise the inflation rate - as measured by the consumer price index (CPI) - between 3% and 6%.
"This policy totally deprives the prices of products and services of their very important function to bring the supply and demand into market equilibrium," said Brink.
"Prices should be allowed to send the right signals to the producers to produce more or less and to the consumer to spend more or less on a product or service."
The big danger exists, in Brink's view, that Sarb might be willing to get involved in the market to the extent that it would take any measures for the wrong reasons and at the wrong time just to pin down the interest rates within the targets without realising or taking into account the serious implications that it might have for the economy.
"This possible implication alone is perhaps a more than good enough reason for the abolishment of the inflation targets," said Brink.
"More problems are created in the economy today by many governments in the world, who believe they can control the prices, supply and demand of products and services, while they actually create more problems for the consumption and production sides of the economy with the application of their monetary policy."
In May 2008 some of the top central bankers from the Group of Seven who were joined by policy makers from developing nations in Switzerland came to the conclusion that food price inflation might be one of the most serious problems facing the world, but it is one that monetary policy had little power to tackle.
"Food price pressure is a global problem,… but we cannot use monetary policy tools to manage this problem," the central bankers concluded.
"Economical phenomena such as inflation, exchange rates and interest rates are nothing else than economic indicators which originate from the economic growth process.
"Monetary policy authorities believe they have a choice between inflation an economic growth – while they don’t. The main priority of economic policy can only be economic growth," Brink concluded.

COMMUNIST POLICIES = SOUTH AFRICA'S ECONOMY WILL NOT RECOVER
South Africa's economy will not recover, agricultural economist Fanie Brink warned on Friday.
This is contrary to the opinion of the media's favourite politically correct economists.
One does not need to be an economist to realise that the SA economy is dying and never to be raised from the dead.
Communist ANC policies.
SA Post Office is collapsing.
The SA National Defence Force is collapsing.
SA Airways is collapsing.
Telkom is a disaster.
Health services have collapsed.
The government is a disaster.
Government corruption is an out-of-control runaway train.
The SA Police is turning into a shambles.
South Africa's water supply cannot meet the demand of a hundred million people more than the quoted 53 million population.
Foreign companies are no longer interested in investing in this communist ruled dump.
Companies are withdrawing from South Africa never to return.
South Africa's mining industry is shrinking and collapsing at the same time, while automation will leave hundreds of thousands without work.
The ruling party, controlled by the SA Communist Party, employing its corrupt cadres in all top positions has stolen this country bankrupt.
Our banks are on the verge of collapse, because they can no longer continue putting up this show.
South Africa's economy is fake, it is an artificial bubble created by rolling money.
The economic cake has been sliced into thousands of smaller slices, while no new cakes have been baked since this corrupt gang was handed control of the country.
Everything about South Africa, including its "leaders', since 1994 is a lie, fake, artificial.
The economy is fake, the qualifications of people in high places are fake,
South Africa has the lowest educational standards in the whole world, which means that even those who work hard and pass matric should reconsider those certificates.
People are being passed through the education system based on their skin colour to make the figures look good, but their qualifications are not worth the paper it is printed on. Those people with those worthless qualifications are appointed in top, strategically critical positions, which is a recipe for disaster.
Post-1994 South Africa is the perfect recipe for disaster and everything a country should never be. An area without borders is not a country, it is just a place. We are merely living in a place with lots of space

Suid-Afrika stuur af op ‘n fiskale afgrond
"Suid-Afrika stuur af op ‘n rampspoedige fiskale afgrond, omdat die regering se uitgawes aan net twee begrotingsposte teen die jaar 2026 (oor 12 jaar) die hele begroting kan verteer.
DIE TWEE BEGROTINGSPOSTE IS:
* besteding aan sosiale toelaes
* en die owerheid se salarisrekening.
Hierdie skokkende navorsing onder leiding van Professor Jannie Rossouw van die Universiteit van die Witwatersrand, is in die Maartmaand uitgawe van die Tydskrif vir Geesteswetenskappe van die SA Akademie publiseer.
Ons nader die kruispad waarteen Dr Van Zyl Slabbert lankal gewaarsku het, naamlik dat die politiek beloftes maak en verwagtings skep waaraan die ekonomie nie kan voldoen nie. Die ANC het vir dekades sy kiesers op ‘n politieke hongerdieet van onhaalbare beloftes gevoer, deur vir hulle te vertel dat politieke mag tot ekonomiese voorspoed lei. Daarom was die ANC se strategie baie eenvoudig: kry eers die politieke mag in die hande, en gebruik dit dan om die ekonomiese mag te bekom. Die harde werklikheid is dat dit nie genoeg is om vir ‘n lewe te stém nie, in die regte lewe moet mense vir ‘n lewe wérk."

Studie wys fiskale afgrond is nader
Deur David Meades Maandag 11 Augustus 2014 10:39 nm.
Suid-Afrika kan heelwat gouer as teen 2026 by ’n fiskale afgrond wees as die huidige planne vir staatsbesteding ’n werklikheid word, toon die jongste navorsing van drie akademici van Wits en Unisa.
Dié onrusbarende gevolgtrekking van die navorsingsgroep onder leiding van prof. Jannie Rossouw, voormalige adjunk-hoofbestuurder van die Suid-Afrikaanse Reserwebank en nou hoof van Wits se Skool vir Ekonomiese en Sakewetenskappe, volg op die publikasie van hul navorsing in Maart in die Tydskrif vir Geesteswetenskappe.
Dit was die produk van meer as ’n jaar se bespreking van hul bevindinge op konferensies wat gelei het tot die verfyning van die resultate tot die punt waar dit gereed is vir publikasie as ’n wetenskaplike artikel, het Rossouw aan Die Burger gesê.
Daar is nog tyd om dié afgrond te vermy, maar dan moet die regering die moed aan die dag lê om ingrypende stappe in belang van die land, eerder as in belang van die regerende party te doen, voel sy span.
Die ander lede van die ondersoekspan is Fanie Joubert en Adèle Breytenbach van Unisa. Die navorsing dien as tema van ’n werksessie van die Instituut vir Rassebetrekkinge op 24 Oktober in die Wes-Kaap.
Die omvang van die naderende krisis is egter van so ’n aard dat net hoogs ingrypende optrede groter probleme ná 2026 sal kan keer. Die navorsing wys die staat sal teen 2026 ’n eenmalige bedrag van R47,4 miljard benodig om sy boeke te laat klop as die huidige groei-neigings in besteding voortduur.
Vir die doel van die navorsing is aangeneem die staat se inkomste styg van 2012 tot 2017 gemiddeld met 9,9% per jaar, en met 9,7% van 2018 tot 2030.
As besluit word om die tekort aan te vul met belastingverhogings, sou minstens twee nuwe belastingskale ingestel moet word. Persoonlike belasting op verdienste van meer as R1 miljoen per jaar sal tot 45% verhoog moet word, en belasting op inkomste van meer as R2 miljoen per jaar tot 50%. Belasting op toegevoegde waarde (BTW) sal van 14% tot 15% moet styg en maatskappybelasting met 3 persentasiepunte tot 31%. Die heffing op brandstof en aksyns sal met 10% moet styg.
Maar dit sal net tot 2028 hou, wanneer belasting verder verhoog sal moet word. Dan sal reeds in 2029 verdere skaal-aanpassings op onder meer persoonlike belasting nodig wees, waar belasting op inkomste van meer as R2 miljoen per jaar tot 72% moet styg. Dit is waar skale ook in 1972 was toe die destydse regering ernstige inkomsteprobleme gehad het.
Intussen gaan gevaarligte aan wat wys die fiskale afgrond kan heelwat vroeër bereik word. Rossouw en sy mede-navorsers kyk nou weer hul bevindinge nadat hulle waargeneem het verskillende regeringsleiers het sekere voorstelle vir verdere maatskaplike voordele en belastingvrye vergoeding vir sommige staatsamptenare gedoen wat genadiglik nog nie aanvaar is nie.
Die begrotingsoorsig van 2014 toon die aantal begunstigdes van maatskaplike toelaes sal teen 2028 sowat 18,5 miljoen wees. Dit is gelyk aan ’n jaarlikse toename van 0,9% per jaar van die 16,1 miljoen in 2012-’13. Oënskynlik maak dit voorsiening vir die aankondiging van die minister van finansies in 2013 toe hy ’n uitbreiding in maatskaplike toelaes aangekondig het. Daarvolgens sal almal ouer as 60 van 2016 af vir ouderdomspensioen kwalifiseer.
Rossouw sê hulle het bereken ’n bykomende 1,5 miljoen mense sal kwalifiseer, wat ’n ekstra uitgawe van R24,3 miljard in nominale terme sal beteken. Dit kan die land net nie bekostig nie en sal die fiskale afgrond verhaas, sê Rossouw.
Hy noem Gauteng se LUR vir onderwys, Panyaza Lesufi, het onlangs op ’n kongres van die Suid-Afrikaanse Demokratiese Onderwysersunie voorgestel onderwysers se salarisse moet van belasting vrygestel word, want die regering het nie die geld om die onderwysers meer te betaal nie.
Maar gegrond op die aanname van ’n gemiddelde salaris van sowat R235 000 per onderwyser per jaar, bereken Rossouw se span dit sal tot gevolg hê dat die staatsinkomste met sowat R8,7 miljard daal. “Die land kan nie hierdie inkomsteverlies bekostig nie en ten tweede sal die aanvaarding van die beginsel van belastingvrye inkomstes ’n gevaarlike presedent skep.”
Die verdere probleem op die horison is as die land se groeikoers tot onder 1% per jaar daal. Die staat se ooreenkoms met die staatsdiensvakbonde maak voorsiening vir ’n verhoging van die inflasiekoers plus 1 persent.
Die salarisrekening sal dan tot onhoudbare vlakke styg as die groeikoers tot minder as 1 persent daal, terwyl die groei in staatsindiensneming in elk geval in toom gehou moet word.
Rossouw meen dus die fiskale afgrond waarteen hulle waarsku, sal eerder gouer as later gebeur as dié voorstelle deurgevoer word. Daar het nog niks gebeur sedert hul navorsing die eerste keer gepubliseer is wat hulle minder onrustig oor die fiskale afgrond maak nie.
In hul aanvanklike navorsing het die span daarop gewys die uitgawes aan staatsdienssalarisse het die laaste klompie jare geweldig gestyg. Ofskoon die getal amptenare in diens van 2008 tot 2012 met net 13% gestyg het, het die vergoeding met 76% gestyg.
Die vergoeding van staatsamptenare as persentasie van die totale inkomste het van 42,2% in die 2007-’08-boekjaar tot 31,7% in die 2011-’12-jaar gestyg. Maatskaplike toelaes en staatsdiensvergoeding het as persentasie van die totale inkomste van 44,3% tot 56,4% gestyg.

"So ’n ineenstorting sal met groot bloedvergieting en geweld gepaardgaan. Ons moet ons voorberei vir wanneer al hierdie dinge in duie sal stort.”
OP DIE PAD NA VRYHEID
DIE AARD EN OMVANG VAN DIE FISIESE VOORTBESTAANSBEDREIGING VAN ONS VOLK
- Jeanette Koekemoer
Die vier hoofpunte van belang:
1. Wie die hoofsaaklike vyande en oorsaak is dat ons volk tans in hierdie ellendige toestand verkeer;
2. Wáárom hulle die Boerevolk wil vernietig;
3. Hóé hulle te werk gaan om ons te probeer uitwis; en
4. Wat op die nabye pad vir ons wag.
Wie is die hoofsaaklike vyande agter die uitwissing van ons volk?
Eerstens is dit van belang dat ons weet dat die marionettemeesters wat al die toutjies trek om almal onder hulle te laat dans, die Internasionale Geldmag is waarvan daar 'n hele netwerk bestaan wat almal vertakkinge is van die Illuminati, wat na 'n Eenwêreld-regering en 'n Nuwe Wêreld Orde streef en dit wil verwesenlik, om 'n paar uit te sonder, hoofsaaklik deur:
* Die banke;
* Groot olie- en ook ander soort maatskappye;
* Organisasies soos die Vrymesselaars;
* Die Bilderbergers;
* Die Zionist Congress;
* Royal Institute of International Affairs;
* Council on Foreign Relations;
* Die Verenigde Nasies.
Waarom wil hulle die Boerevolk vernietig?
Daar is net een rede:
Die Boervolk in Suid-Afrika was in die strategiese posisie waar ons die minerale bronne van hierdie land besit en bestuur het; 'n reg en voorreg uit die hand van ons Skepper.
En selfs nadat die verraderlike Nasionale Party wat ook maar net 'n marionet in die hande van die Internasionale Geldmag was, ons volk hierdie reg op onwettige wyse ontneem het en aan die Kommuniste gegee het wie self net nog 'n instrument in die hande van die Geldmag is, het ons steeds as gevolg van ons nasionalistiese volksgevoel, die strewe om dit terug te neem wat ons ook met die hulp en genade van God sal regkry.
Hoe gaan ons vyand te werk?
Hoofsaaklik met infiltrasie in alle Afrikanerorganisasies deur volksverraaiers wat lyk soos u en ek, klink soos u en ek, en daardeur is:
* Ons nasionalisme ondermyn met allerhande liberale idees;
* Ons kerke en skole van ons vervreemd;
* Ons kultuur en tradisies verkleineer;
* Talle frontorganisasies opgerig om die behoudende Afrikaner eenkant besig te hou;
* Laastens maar seker die ergste: ons moes onderwerp word aan 'n Swart kommunistiese regering op wie se onregte en misdade ons nou die hele tyd moet fokus in plaas daarvan om die groter prent raak te sien.
Wat lê vir ons voor?
Elke aspek waarmee die vyande sover ons Volk ondermyn het, en wat ons goed leer ken het sedert 1994, sal net vererger.
Daar kom egter een saak by: die finale fase van rewolusie wat voor die deur wag, waarin:
1. Onteiening van alle Blanke eiendom gepoog sal word;
2. Waarvoor ons lankal wag: die totale ineenstorting van die Swart regime wat met groot geweld van Swart op Swart sal begin as gevolg van die woede van die Swart massas aan wie die talle beloftes van voorspoed deur die ANC nie gestand gedoen is nie; 'n toestand wat dan ook baie skielik na die Blanke sal oorspoel waartydens ons lewens niks werd sal wees; die Blanke is die Swarte se tradisionele vyand en ons sal die hoofskyf in hierdie gewelddadige optrede word.
Ons hoef feitlik net te kyk na die Freedom Charter, die ANC se bloudruk vir Blanke volksmoord wat reeds in 1955 die lig gesien het, om te verstaan dat die finale slag teen die Blanke nog gelewer moet word. Die Kommunis Joe Slovo, wat hierdie handboek vir rewolusie self daar by Kliptown ter skrif gestel het, het die rewolusie so beskryf:
"Die hoofdoel van Suid-Afrika se ontvouende nasionale demokratiese rewolusie deur die Swartmense, is om die vernietiging van Blanke heerskappy te verseker. "
Ons moet verstaan dat Blanke heerskappy nie vir die ANC in 1994 geëindig het toe hulle die politieke mag op 'n skinkbord by die NP gekry het nie.
Uit die Suid-Afrikaanse Kommuniste se ‘Swart Republiek Beleid’ van 1928 is dit duidelik dat dit nie vir hulle gaan net om die politieke mag te besit nie maar dat hulle ons hele land wil hê, élke duim bo- en ondergronds daarvan. En na 82 jaar staan ons uiteindelik voor die finale fase van hulle Rewolusie. Daarom moet die Witman uit die pad gevee word.
En as enige Kommunis of liberalis u anders wil wysmaak met mooi praatjies oor onderhandelinge met vreedsame gevolge oor enige saak,dan lieg hy vir u! Want die Witman moet al paaiend aan die praat gehou word terwyl hy uitgemoor word.
Die ANC self praat van die 2 fases in hulle rewolusie:
1. Die Nasionale Demokratiese Rewolusie (NDR) – dit is wat ons sedert 1994 beleef het;
2. Die Sosialistiese fase – die 2e fase waarin die Witman finaal uitgewis moet word.
Wat is Rewolusie oftewel Transformasie in praktyk?
* Die woord 'rewolusie' beteken gewelddadige opstand wat tot vernietiging van die bestaande orde moet lei.
* Rewolusie is 'n onontbeerlike bestanddeel van Kommunisme wêreldwyd.
* Dit beteken 'n totale ommekeer: wat bo is moet na onder en wat onder is moet na bo.
* Volgens Kommunisme is materie die enigste bestaande werklikheid.
* En materiële welvaart kan volgens Kommunisme slegs in 'n werkerstaat deur elkeen geniet word.
* 'n Werkerstaat, of dan proletaristiese diktatuur waar die Swart massas sogenaamd sal regeer, kan net verkry word as bestaande orde gewelddadig omvergewerp word, glo hulle.
Robert Conquest stel dit in die boek The Great Terror, dat Kommunisme die beginsel van terreur met "hoek, lyn en sinker" ingesluk het. Hulle leef, slaap en eet terreur!
The Black Book of Communism verduidelik dat terreur 'n dubbele doel het:
* Eers word 'n vyand verklaar;
* En dan word hy 'n misdadiger wat vervolg moet word (in Suid-Afrika is dit die Witman).
En dít gee glo die Kommuniste die reg om gewelddadig op te tree. So is miljoene politieke moorde oor die wêreld in elke kommunistiese land gepleeg. Daar word gereken dat Kommunisme wêreldwyd meer as 'n honderd miljoen menselewens gekos het in ongeveer 80 jaar.
Ons het netnou gepraat van die 1e fase van rewolusie waar oorlog teen die so-verklaarde 'vyand' gevoer word soos ons sedert 1994 op elke gebied ervaar het; waarvóór hulle ingespan het alle:
* die talle frontorganisasies wat spesifiek daarvoor totstand gebring is, en
* die ekonomie: want 'n arm volk word op sy knieë gedwing;
Maar die 2e of sosialistiese fase lyk so:
Die woord verklap reeds die proses: Sosialisme beteken die beginsel waarvolgens afskaffing van private besit langs die weg van rewolusie plaasvind.
In Suid-Afrika moet die rewolusie nou versnel word deur oor te gaan in die 2e fase deur:
* Onteiening van alle Blanke eiendom soos nou in die Groenskrif in die Parlement ter tafel gelê is.
* Grondhervorming gaan dus ook stede toe.
* Deur Swart massas op te sweep met slagspreuke soos:
Revolution is the only solution!;
Kill the boer, kill the farmer!;
One bullet, one Boer!;
One bullet, one White infant!;
One Rope, one sell out! en talle ander soos u weet.
Mnr Jaap Marais het dit herhaaldelik aan ons gestel dat hierdie Swart kommunistiese bestel in duie sal stort omdat dit nie oor die duursaamheid van die belangrikste twee voorwaardes beskik nie naamlik ’n:
Daar is ook talle ander profete in eie reg wat hierdie dinge korrek ingesien het maar ek lig graag net nog een uit:
Roger Teale, 'n Christenprediker in Amerika, het op 4 April 1994 in Durban gearriveer waar hy teen sy sin (want hy het eintlik nie kans gesien om na Suid-Afrika te kom nie en het dit lank reeds uitgestel), maar uiteindelik in opdrag van God die eerste van sy reeks waarskuwings oor juis dit waarvan mnr Marais gepraat het, aan gehore in Suid-Afrika sou kom rig. Hy het ‘n uitgewerkte reisprogram gehad om in verskeie groot stede in die land op te tree.
Na sy openbaringe die vorige aand in Durban is sy visum die volgende oggend skielik ingetrek en hy moes die land onmiddellik verlaat. Hy was nie toegelaat om enige van die ander stede te besoek nie omdat hy die daardie aand gesê het:
“Maak julle gereed vir groot geweld wat hier sal uitbreek. Julle bloed gaan in die strate loop.
Opsommend oor wat vir ons wag:
* Dat ons 'n algemene gewelddadige tyd tegemoet gaan is seker;
* Dat daar ook 'n kortstondige tydperk van bloedige geweld sal plaasvind is nie te betwyfel nie;
* Dat dit in sekere stede en dele van die land baie meer intens sal plaasvind as in ander gebiede is seker ook voorspelbaar;
* Dat die Swartes goed toegerus is met die wapens van die Witman plus miljoene pangas wat daagliks aan hulle verkoop word is 'n feit;
* Dat hulle hulself voorberei vir 'n groot en finale slagting is so; dit word gereeld in hulle ritmiese neuriessang terwyl hulle werk veral onder in die myne gehoor;
* Dat hulle in staat is om talle stede in ons land in minute te omsingel is 'n praktiese moontlikheid; dit as gevolg van die bottelnek-uitleg van die meeste Swart lokasies teenaan Blanke gebiede.
* Dat NAVO-magte heel moontlik sal poog om orde te kom skep
