Congrats ANC Government?

Perhaps you should learn how to spell illiterate before lecturing other people about literacy. Fail.

Let me just add an "i" there and a "you're still a ****ing idiot".

Give credit where credit is due?

Here is an example of where I will give due credit... Professor Harry Nengwekhulu has been deployed to sort out the Eastern Cape Education Department. He has been shocked by the deep rooted corruption and has said that this is not what his housemate and friend, Steve Biko, was fighting for, so he is doing someone about it. Go Prof!!!! Read here:

THE husband of a Bhisho MEC – and seven other senior education officials – have been served letters of intent to suspend following an investigation into corruption.

Zamayedwa Tom, chief director (facilities and infrastructure management) in the provincial Education Department, husband of Arts and Culture MEC Xoliswa Tom, confirmed that he had received his letter yesterday.

Other officials who have received notifications are:
Khayalethu Ngaso, chief director of vocational education services.
Internal audit director Mtunase Kali.
Inclusive education director Nompumelelo Nabe.
Chwayita Zituta, director of Further Education and Training colleges and Adult Basic Education and Training centres.
Deputy finance director Sarel Baatjies.
Bizana district deputy finance director Noxolo Tokwana.
Phinda Mamase, a senior administration officer in supply chain management.

The letters follow an announcement on Monday by acting superintendent-general Harry Nengwekhulu that 70 criminal cases could be instituted against officials.

He said he was waiting to hear whether the presidency would give its approval to the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) to proceed with formal charges.

The names of the officials were released to the media yesterday on Nengwekhulu’s instruction, and have also been posted on the department’s website.

It has been learnt reliably that some of the officials stand accused of:
Meddling with tenders.
Mismanagement of departmental money.
Misappropriation of funds, in once instance totalling R34- million.
Spending hundreds of thousands on an unauthorised trip to Cape Town, allegedly with friends.
Transferring R8-million to a school in Port Elizabeth, leaving R5-million unaccounted for.
Transferring close to R1- million to close corporations registered in an official’s name and those of relatives.

Nengwekhulu, who has previously described the department as “rotten to the core”, said corruption in the department was “deep-rooted”.

The delays were “necessary to strengthen cases”.

Had he suspended the officials sooner, Nengwekhulu said, there might have been interference with evidence.

Tom said yesterday: “I can confirm that I did receive a letter. There is no fraud, no stealing. I am not a coward and if a decision has to be taken, I make it.”

Mamase said: “You have been asking me the same thing and I keep telling you that I have not received a letter.”

He then hung up. – Daily Dispatch

HIGH-RANKING Eastern Cape education officials face suspension today following a nine-month investigation into corruption and fraud within the department.

Two months after describing the department as “rotten to the core”, acting superintendent Prof Harry Nengwekhulu yesterday said eight managers – including chief directors, directors, deputy directors and a senior administration officer – stand accused of corrupt practices.

Speaking at a news conference in East London, Nengwekhulu said there could be up to 70 criminal cases instituted against various officials. This would ultimately depend on approval being given by the Presidency to the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) to proceed with formal charges.

In the meantime, he said, the department’s internal risk management division was heading investigations.

The allegations against the officials include misappropriation of funds, ignoring proper procurement procedures, allocating funds to projects without approval and stealing from the department.

Nengwekhulu also said the department had frozen the assets of three people, including a former education superintendent-general and a principal of a Port Elizabeth high school.

He also announced that millions of rands transferred from department coffers to a bank account belonging to someone in KwaZulu-Natal had been frozen.

Nengwekhulu yesterday described corruption in the department as “deep rooted” and said they would leave no stone unturned in exposing wrongdoing.

In September last year, the SIU was called in to investigate corruption within the department following a special report by the Auditor-General.

Nengwekhulu – who has come under fire from the SA Democratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu) for not acting against corrupt officials – said the delays were necessary to strengthen cases. Due to leave the department at the end of June, he said had he suspended the officials sooner, there may have been interference with evidence.

The department was delaying paying service providers as they were in the process of tightening the system. “We need to check each and every transaction because there are still high risks and money could simply go to other accounts,” he said.

In an effort to further curb corruption, Nengwekhulu said staff would be “rotated” from one section to another. “Some people have gained skills but use the very same skills to compromise the department.”

Controversy struck earlier this year after millions of rands were stolen from the department’s bank accounts.

Sadtu said the union supported the department’s move as the suspensions were in line with demands handed to Education MEC Mahlubandile Qwase last Thursday by protesting members. – Daily Dispatch

To congratulate them alone would mean that someone is pushing for political brownie points.

The world cup is not only about the ANC.

I agree with this.

If you'd seen my posts instead of making assumptions, you'd know I don't like the ANC whatesoever. Mostly corrupt single party, not my thing.

@Zenbaas. Really don't care. Lost my respect for this forum ages ago, hence the tone of my posts nowadays.

Hear hear. Fifa , Danny Jordaan and the construction companies can be congratulated.

But then it's time to take a step back. Lance has already lost his head completely, there's no need for more people to go stark crazy Go outside and take a walk. Hey you can even find someone blowing a vuvuzela and shove it up their ass, works for me

But to me, thats better than some of the people here... Its the flippin world cup and some people still can't be pleased, everything is not up to their spit spot perfect conditions they want...

I think the A.N.C is a crap political party.

I think the world cup is an awesome party.

I see no contradiction in those positions.

How's that for a first post ? Hello ragers !

 

[marine1]

Boramk if you dislike the forum so much why you still posting here?

 

[Jola]

IMHO the world cup is succeeding IN SPITE OF THE ANC !

It is a miracle that things are more or less on track in spite of the ANC's corruption, racism and mismanagement. But we will pay for years !!!

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to many talented individuals and private companies, who have have gone through hell in order to make things work !!!

Don't give me that nonsense.

Off topic and everywhere else is fine, the idiocy is minimised.
CA however, I'll come here as often as I like and castigate all the idiots until I'm over frustared or banned. Don't care.

How will we pay for years ? 14 billion isn't a fart against a gale in terms of our national GDP. I bet your average South African would not even gain 1000 bucks if we didn't have the world cup. For some perspective take a look at this.


Who cares about the A.N.C anyway ? Good or bad the government has very little to do with what the country does or does not do. Same goes for the rest of the world.

Well here are a few reason why I think the Soccer world cup is not as successful as some hoped it would be.

-- Allot of money was given to upgrade our infrastructure and build stadium to host the world cup, but just how much money made it into the even? How many fat cats pocketed it for their own gain true corruption and greed? How much money was taken away from health and education budget and other important departments to be able to finance the world cup?

--Some of the upgrades that was done on our national roads are still not done and paused due to the world cup. Some places barely made it in time, like the upgrades in Hatfield.

-- The opening yesterday of the world cup was such a let down you can see that they only had enough money to do the stadiums and nothing left for the opening ceremony. Its not just me that think so, Ive been looking at over seas forums and allot of people got the wrong perspective of South Africa and say that we made a fool out of ourself's. A dung beetle? wth. . .

--The stadium yesterday wasn't even nearly full with the opening? Because people didn't want to go? Maybe could have saved them from the horrible opening. But no the traffic was so bad people where parking on the highway and walking to the stadium. Some Mexican supporters said that they have been to allot of world cups and this has been their worst since traffic and unclear directions to get to the stadium.

If you really want to know if the world cup is a success ask the people that come into South Africa for it. They had certain standards that needed to be met and have they? Noo because we in South Africa are used to poor service delivery and poor standards. We cant possibly hope to give a 1st world soccer world cup in a 3rd world country.

And dont even get me started on the topic of vuvuzelas. The Mexican team had allot more support for their supporters than we did. Why? Because we where to busy blowing out hot air and not cheering the names of the players and sining the national anthem.

Pew that felt good getting it of my chest.

Who is this joker ? The gross sentiment on the ground from those attending is that this world cup is brilliant. You hint that people expected more but I suggest you're misinformed. Anyone coming to Africa from the first world expects way worse than they will find in South Africa. In a massive sense.

I have no vested interest whether it fails or not. I understand why it would be in the interest of South Africans if it was a hit. I don't understand however why some people would see in in their interest if it was a failure. I suppose those people either don't live in South Africa or have some form of archaic world view that makes them still see anything good post apartheid as a failure.

Whatever the case it's in the extreme best interest of South Africa that this world cup promotes in a positive way our country. Else the money will be wasted and we will stand nothing to gain from it. Those concerned about the money at least better show some form of interest in seeing this result or risk not being taken seriously.
