...“Their salary increases are guaranteed at more than 20 percent every year, irrespective of the company’s financial position,” Mahlangu said. “They are paid in dollars, regardless of where they fly in the world. They stay at six-star hotels at the carrier’s expense.”...

Complete and utter bullshit. SAA management will do anything to deflect attention from their own unbridled fuckwittery


Of course, once again no one saw this coming and it has to be whitey's fault.

What could possibly go wrong...?

And when there's no food grown any more the idiot white man will ship it in at great expense and hand it out for free, just like Zim and the rest of Africa.

The right to expropriate property
Jan 10 2016 12:50 Terry Bell

In clear election mode, President Jacob Zuma has carried out an outflanking manoeuvre against the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) by raising the prospect of land seizure. Speaking in Rustenburg, he referred to the “land that was stolen from us” and asked why stolen land should be paid for.

The EFF leadership has made the issue of land redistribution a major plank in their electoral programme leading up to the local government elections later this year. However, Zuma also implied that the government had erred in its approach to the land issue.

He was referring to the “willing buyer, willing seller” principle that was adopted by the ANC government and was widely thought to be demanded by the constitution. However, as the late former chief justice, Arthur Chaskalson, pointed out in an interview: “There is no such provision in the constitution.”

In fact, the constitution makes the public interest and equitable distribution of natural resources a principle.

At the time of the interview, shortly before his death, Chaskalson added that the only demand was that justice be served and he was clearly annoyed that the property section in the Bill of Rights (25) had been ignored or misinterpreted.

This section states that “no law may permit arbitrary deprivation of property”. But it goes on to state that property may be expropriated “for a public purpose or in the public interest.... subject to compensation...”

However, the “amount of the compensation and the time and manner of payment”, while it must be “just and equitable” should strike a balance between “the public interest and the interests of those affected”. In so doing, it should “have regard to all relevant circumstances”.

These circumstances include “the history of the acquisition and use of the property”, along with “the extent of direct state aid and subsidy” enjoyed by property owners. Crucially, this constitutional provision states that the public interest includes “commitment to land reform, and to reforms to bring about the equitable access to all South Africa’s natural resources”. Property is also “not limited to land”.

Section 25 (5) goes on to note: “The state must take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to foster conditions which enable citizens to gain access to land on an equitable basis.”

The priority, therefore, is to right earlier wrongs, to take full cognisance of all the circumstances, before deciding on what property to expropriate and at what level at over which period, any compensation should be paid.

Perhaps the EFF and President Jacob Zuma should peruse Section 25 since it covers their land redistribution demands with only one proviso: that further theft not be condoned and that justice be done.

Abuse of power by the cANCer Chosen Ones? Big fat hairy surprise...

Shocking details emerge in case against Fransman
2016-01-10 10:24

News24 correspondent

Johannesburg – Western Cape ANC chairman Marius Fransman told his alleged sexual assault victim to get over discomfort at his advances if she wanted a job, the City Press reported.

“She told him [Fransman] that she does not feel comfortable and he said it would be her challenge to overcome if she wants to make a success out of her career and needs to be clinical and cold about it,” the docket, filed by a 20-year-woman who had been appointed as Fransman’s personal assistant, stipulated.

The Sunday newspaper disclosed details of the docket.

The alleged victim was apparently working at a wine estate and hotel just outside Stellenbosch, when she met Fransman and was offered the position as his personal assistant.

She went for a job interview on January 2 and was given the position. Fransman apparently then told the woman she would be accompanying him on January 4 to Rustenburg in the North West.

The ANC held its 104th anniversary celebrations in the area on Saturday.

According to the docket, the first incident of assault, allegedly occurred in the car in which Fransman, two of his friends and the woman were travelling. At one point, Fransman apparently swapped seats with his friends, to sit in the back with the woman.

According to the victim – he then started touching her inappropriately.

“On Tuesday, January 5, at about 02:19, they arrived at the Flamingo hotel in Kimberley whereby she was forced to share the bed with the subject and he would wrap his arms over her and rubbed himself against her, touching her breasts.”

It was at this point that, when the woman confronted Fransman and told him she was not comfortable, he allegedly told her that it was "her challenge to overcome" if she wanted to make a success of her career.

On Friday, the woman arrived in the North West and subsequently laid a complaint with the Sun City police.

The City Press newspaper – citing various unnamed police and ANC sources – alleged that the woman was put under pressure, by certain members of the political party, to withdraw the case.

Certain sources also alleged that she was offered money to do so.

Meanwhile, ANC Western Cape spokesperson Yonela Diko denied the claims that anyone tried to quash the case or that anyone offered money to the victim to drop it.

Diko said Fransman was still enjoying a peaceful night’s sleep, despite the case against him.

“Marius Fransman is not losing any sleep over this. He’s had 20 years of unbroken service and he’s seen it all”.

A lot of good people of all backgrounds being let down and shafted by these political clowns' trying to hold on to power any way they can. For many emigration is not a viable option. They're getting on a bit and most countries don't want the drain on health care that entails. The currency is near worthless and subject to exchange controls. Not easy at all.

As an aside, the Barmy Army are having a field day taking the piss out of the exchange rate at the cricket. The chanting is in good humour but the message is bleak.

Yup. Same lot who scream and shout and protest vigorously, to the point of setting fire to vehicles and looting shops, about the failure of the cANCer to get it right.

Also the same lot who keep voting them ino power. Seems a free t-shirt and a bucket of fried chicken a week before the elections is enough to sway the vote.

Couple of weeks after their mistake has been ratified and the people they complain about are back in power, they're back out there burning cars and looting shops to show their displeasure with the govt they voted into power.

Words fucking fail me.

It's a bummer!

The cANCer, EFF and camp followers hurriedly pushing a bill through parliament in order to start expropriating property. Not just land, any property they feel entitled to.

Once again, many saw it coming but were shouted down and vilified by the intellectual elite who claimed it would never happen, either in Zim or in SA. Those in the west may have been less supportive of the 'struggle' if they'd known what the trendy left were so keen to keep silenced.

ZIMBABWEAN CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITIES IMPOUND U.S CARGO PLANE WITH MILLIONS OF RAND ON BOARD AND DEAD BODY

The Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe yesterday impounded a chartered MD11 trijet cargo plane owned by Western Global Airlines stashed with millions of South African rands and a dead body after it asked to land in Harare during a flight from Germany to South Africa.

During a routine refuelling airport staff noticed blood dripping from the plane, they found a dead body, and an alert was given. Investigations are in progress from last night.

Western Global Airlines is based in southwest Florida in the United States of America. The plane was flying from Germany to South Africa when the captain asked for a technical landing at the Harare International Airport after an initial request to land in Mozambique was turned down.

Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe general manager Mr David Chaota confirmed the incident last night. “Yes, it is a Western Global Airlines plane and now the case is being handled by our security [services] ” he said.

South African Ambassador to Zimbabwe Mr Vusi Mavimbela confirmed the incident last night but would not give details.

“I spent the better of the day at the airport,” he said. “I am aware of what you are saying but I cannot comment now because there are investigations that are still going on."

Sources close to the matter told The Herald last night that the plane was destined for South Africa. “The plane requested for a technical landing which was granted by the airport authorities,” said the source.

“Upon refuelling, the airport attendants discovered that there was blood dripping from the plane. When they checked to try and ascertain where the blood was coming from that is when they discovered a suspended dead body in the plane."

“The matter was reported to the authorities at the airport and the plane was impounded while the body was taken to pathologists.”

Unconfirmed reports say the crew included two Americans, a Pakistani and a South African. The whereabouts of the crew were unknown last night.

The nationality of the dead person could not be established by the time of going to print, nor any details of how he died. Western Global Airlines operates a fleet of 16 MD11 freighters, a modern stretched upgrade of the old DC10, according to its web site.

The private cargo line is owned by James and Sunny Neff and advertises that it has a good range of customers, including FedEx. It said aid agencies chartered it to fly staff and supplies into West Africa last year to fight the Ebola epidemic.

The last time Zimbabwean civil aviation authorities impounded a foreign plane was in 2004, when the authorities arrested a planeload of 64 mercenaries who wanted to take part in a coup in Equatorial Guinea.

Efforts to get a comment from the police were fruitless as police spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba’s mobile phone went unanswered.
