UDM will support ANC's NMB candidate as long as ''they're reputable''.

Has the time come to join forces?



UDM says to support ANC mayoral candidate as long as they're reputable. This follows the probable exit of Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor, Anthol Trollip.

"I don't have any conditions, as long as its a reputable individual", said Bantu Holomisa, leader of the UDM.

The EFF previously announced that their support lies only with former deputy Finance Minister, Mcebisi Jonas, saying this position needs a person of integrity.

Anthol Trollip is claiming that Malema is trying to gain favour with the ANC, the UDM is more than willing to back an ANC candidate.

Have the leaders of political parties decided to call truce and put the country's needs first?
I personally think such support for one another is of fundamental importance if the country is to prosper.
It sends a very good message about the country's current and foreseeable condition.

DA: Gigaba must go!

"Pressure will continue to pile on GiGupta"

The DA stands to say Gigaba, who was recently moved from Minister of finance back to Home Affairs, must be axed.

This happened after the Constitutional Court refused to hear findings against him.

John Steenhuisen, the DA's Chief Whip said the court refused to hear Gigaba's appeal and lay judgement. It had been found that he lied under oath when he testified during his former tenure as Home Affairs minister.

Apparently, Fireblade Aviation, controlled by the Oppenheimer family, had sought declaration to compel Gigaba to follow through the decision he had taken to allow the company to run a customs and immigration service at a privately owned airport operation,

At that time, it was believed that Gigaba had revoked a previously made approval, following the pressure put on him by the Gupta family.

"He is not above lying on oath nor laying the groundwork for the Guptas to capture key public institutions for their own selfish gain", said Steenhuisen.

The DA has lodged a complaint with the public protector, asking of her to investigate Gigaba for lying under oath and for disrespecting the constitution, as this is a crime so big it may be considered a violation.

Answers to the question of whether or not Gigaba must be removed as a matter of urgency are believed to lie with the recently elected president, Cyril Ramaphosa.

Personally, I think this has become a country of taking orders from other people, all the people in political power do not appear to be sure about where they stand with this country.

The Gupta family has become the leading body, and our ministers the followers.

With political parties, most are too busy pointing out the wrongs of the people in other parties that they forget to look around and see what the nation really needs. What has become of our leaders, who are we to follow, really?  

Jacob Zuma blames whites for his removal

In a speech he gave at a dinner event hosted ny Nafupa SA, former president Jacob Zuma claimed that white businesses used his own people to kick him out of office before his term ended.

In this event, Jacob Zuma was presented with two awards, one for his stance on RET and the other an Infrastructure Development Award.

Thabani Khumalo, a political analyst, said that he had initially thought the talk about giving awards to Jacob Zuma was a joke, he claimed that it was just a way of getting publicity. Khumalo basically doesn't understand what Zuma was being awarded for.

Jacob Zuma said that he had learnt, during his time as president, that when you voice out opinions about whites you are accused of being troublesome.
"When you talk about colonial rule you are accused of being provocative", he said.
He also uplifted Napufa SA, saying "Indian should bury Indian, white should bury white and African should bury African", by calling localisation of the economy.

Jacob Zuma was described as the father of RET, a tried and tested struggle icon.

Where this has gone is too far for my liking. This is exactly how Mr Malema started and grew to be an unmannered political person. I'm starting to think that Zuma's removal from office term has hit him harder than it should have.

Unemployed women should be trained to proudce and supply government sanitary towels.

"MENSTRUATION IS NOT A CHOICE BUT A NATURASL OCCURANCE"
Free sanitary towels to be provided for female learners from poor to working class families.

The ANC Women's League says that unemployed women should learn to produce sanitary towels and run a business. Their businesses will then become the source for government issued pads.

Government supplies learners with things like stationery, free condoms, to name a few. Mostly the suppliers are male owned businesses, in particular, white. Apparently, government had in the past committed to supply sanitary towels, these were never received by other provinces, unfortunately.

"Various reports have indicated that the majority of girl learners who cannot afford sanitary towels resort to unhygienic methods like using clothes rags and newspapers during their menstruation and that poses health risks to them", said Meokgo Matuba, the ANCWL secretary general.

Matuba also said that the ANCWL would call upon all its members to embark on a treasury campaign. The aim is to add sanitary towels into the list of items that are zero rated on VAT.

It is long overdue, the fact that the distribution of condoms and school visits to educate learners about sexual activities became a priority is bad enough. The price of pads is way high, not all girls can afford them, the ANC Women's League is on the right track this time, taking a direction that should have been taken long ago.

More than 30 students in court after building,cop cars torched in UniZulu protest.

More than 30 students in court after building, cop cars torched in UniZulu protest.

Studying in a university is not as luxurious and fun as we might imagine it to be. Often we find ourselves in unimaginable situations, you may actually even go to jail for it.

This article is about a protest that recently took place at the University of  Zululand. Apparently, 32 students were arrested for torching two police vehicles and a building last Thursday . University sources revealed that a student protest over meal allowances took a bad turn against staff and police.
The university was shut down, out of fear for the safety of both students and staff. Students were ordered to vacate residences with immediate effect.

Put on the spotlight, SRC deputy, Ndumiso Ntshagase condemned the damages to property, saying that the university property should not be damaged. Ntshangase also claims that not all those who were arrested are guilty, that some were not from the university.
"Students were hungry and had to go on strike, each month students receive R1500 monthly food allowances  but this did not happen yesterday, students rely on this", he said. Ntshangase claimed that the institution and NSFAS were also to blame. He gave assurances that students would support their arrested counterparts when they make court appearances, after which they will settle to make resolutions with the management.

What are we doing, who are we talking to...
We burn institutions to the ground and torch state resources to ash. We want to be heard, we want there to be a place for our opinions but are we really going about it the right way, who is right, are the police to shove us into vans and put us in cells for refusing to go to class on an empty stomach?
