Politieke toestand van SA noop eienaars om ontslae te raak van eiendomme in ryk woonbuurte van Kaapstad – pryse daal nou tot 50%

Posted on Leave a comment

Eiendomspryse in die ryk woonbuurte van Kaapstad het gedaal met tot 50% van die aanvanklike verkoopsprys. Verkopers in woonbuurte soos Constantia en die by die Atlantiese oseaan het hul pryse tussen 20% en 50% laat daal in ʼn poging om ontslae te raak van die eiendom.

Eiendoms makelaars meld dat die effens opwaartse flikkering na die verkiesing is deur realiteit ingehaal met ‘n 15% daling in waardasies.

Huise in die boonste segment van die mark is gewoonlik verkoop binne 75 dae terwyl die tendens nou 126 dae is. Selfs by die gewilde Waterfront Marina het eiendomspryse die jaar alleen met 24% gedaal.

Kenners is versigtig om die politieke toestand van die land aan die tendens te koppel maar die aanvraag van huise, selfs in Kaapstad, het afgeneem weens die onsekere ekonomiese- en politieke klimaat van die ruwe Suid Afrika.

Damvlakke in Wes-Kaap bereik rekord hoogte na vier jaar se droogte

Posted on Leave a comment

Die hoofopgaardamme vir die Kaapstadse metropool is gemiddeld naby aan 80% vol. Die gemiddelde vlakke van die Wes-Kaap se damme is die hoogste wat dit in vier jaar was – en nóg reën is op pad. Een van die damme wat die beste gestyg het, is die Theewaterskloofdam wat presies twee jaar gelede slegs 22% vol was, teenoor Maandag se 66,5%.

Wes-Kaapse LUR vir omgewingsake en ontwikkelingsbeplanning, Anton Bredell sê dat die gemiddelde damvlak van die Wes-Kaap staan nou op 61,2% – die beste in vier jaar, maar dit is egter nog nie die die 79% wat dit in Augustus 2015 was voordat ’n voortslepende droogte sy tol geëis het nie. Volgens Bredell bly die grootste bron van kommer steeds die Karoo omrede landboutoestande bitter moeilik bly. Hy het die het die proses van waterbeperkings verduidelik en sê dié besluit word op munisipale vlak geneem, gewoonlik eers nadat die nasionale departement van water en sanitasie gekonsulteer is.

43 killed in another bloody weekend in Cape Town – 25 were shot and 12 stabbed

Posted on Leave a comment

Another bloody weekend in Cape Town saw 43 people being murdered, Premier Alan Winde confirmed on Monday.

Provincial forensics services recorded these numbers between Friday night and Monday morning.

“[The] SAPS started running a national joint operational and intelligence structure operation on Thursday night in the areas of Philippi, Steenberg and Delft,” Winde said in a statement.

“We welcome the fact that 143 arrests were made, and guns and drugs confiscated, but despite this heavier police presence, and [Police] Minister Bheki Cele himself going out on patrol, 43 people were still murdered – some of them in the very areas where the operation was held.”

SANDF soldiers started arriving in Cape Town on Monday before hitting the streets to assist SAPS in a clamp-down on gang-related crime.

The highest number of murders were recorded in Mfuleni, where six people were killed.

Boer skiet drie betogers buite Uniondale in Wes-Kaap na geweld uitbreek

Posted on Leave a comment

Die polisie ondersoek ’n skietvoorval waarin ’n boer glo Maandag drie betogers buite Uniondale in die Wes-Kaap geskiet het.

Kapt. Malcolm Pojie, woordvoerder van die polisie, het aan Maroela Media gesê twee aanklagte van poging tot moord is vanmiddag by die plaaslike polisie aanhangig gemaak.

Dít volg nadat ontstoke betogers van Uniondale vanaf vroegoggend op die N9-snelweg asook R339 buite die dorp amok gemaak het. Buitebande is op dié paaie gebrand waarna dit noodgedwonge deur die loop van die dag gesluit is. Dit is sedertdien weer oopgestel nadat betogers uitmekaar is.

Volgens Pojie is dit nie in dié stadium duidelik hoe laat die skietvoorval plaasgevind het nie. Die polisie het wel ná die voorval op verskeie koeëldoppies wat op die toneel op die R339 gelê het, beslag gelê.

Die polisie se eenheid vir openbare orde monitor steeds met die hulp van die George-polisiëringsgebied die onderskeie paaie aangesien die situasie as o

Misdaad ruk handuit in Wes-Kaap weens ernstige tekort aan hulpbronne in SAPD

Posted on Leave a comment

Daar is net te veel misdaad-brandpunte in Kaapstad wat terselfdertyd opvlam en te min polisiëring om al die geweld te keer, sê JP Smith, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir veiligheid.

Hy sê in ’n verklaring hoewel die polisie van die Kaapstadse metroraad met die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) saamwerk om so doeltreffend moontlik ekstra operasies uit te voer is die waarheid dat hulle nie met die beperkte hulpbronne op een slag oral kan uitkom nie.

Sy kommentaar kom ná ’n naweek van geweld waarin talle mense in en om Philippi op die Kaapse Vlakte vermoor is.

Hy sê hoewel die Kaapstadse metroraad gereeld daarvan beskuldig word dat hy nie teen die geweld en veral teen bendegeweld optree nie, het die raad sy hulpbronne in die afgelope dekade eksponensieel vergroot om die leemte in die polisiëring te vul.

Hy sê metropolisielede se magte is egter beperk – hulle mag nie misdade ondersoek of oortreders vervolg nie.

DA COUNCILLOR HELPS ANC TAKE CONTROL OF CEDERBERG MUNICIPALITY – ANC member elected themselves to executive posts when the DA caucus walked out

Posted on Leave a comment

CAPE TOWN – The African National Congress (ANC) has taken over the governance of the Cederberg Municipality on the West Coast.

This comes after an urgent motion brought by the ANC to remove Democratic Alliance (DA) mayor Joseph Farmer. With the help of one DA councillor, the ANC managed to snatch control of council.

ANC member Sylvia Quinta has been elected as mayor, while Mariaan Nell will be her deputy.

ANC spokesperson Dennis Cruywagen explained: “Today was a good day for the ANC. They took control of the Cederberg Municipality. We are getting ready for the next municipal elections.”

DA Western Cape leader Bonginkosi Madikizela said DA councillor Bertie Sazz helped the ANC.

He said the party would not allow rogue members to cause destruction.

“The key thing is that the party must be able to act against those people. I find it disheartening that people subject themselves to the party’s constit

Prof. Sean Davison, ‘n kampvegter vir genadededood is onder huisarres geplaas na skuldig bevind van dood op drie mense

Posted on Leave a comment

Prof. Sean Davison, wat aangekla is van drie moorde, is Woensdagoggend in die hooggeregshof in Kaapstad vir drie jaar onder huisarres geplaas nadat hy ‘n pleitooreenkoms met die staat aangegaan het.

Davison wat nog heeltyd volgehou het dat hy niks verkeerd gedoen het nie, het sy rol in die dade beken.

Ingevolge die pleitooreenkoms mag Davison vir die drie jaar wat hy onder huisarres is, by sy huis werk en die huis net verlaat vir geloofsdoeleindes.

Hy sal ook gemeenskapsdiens moet doen en aan verskeie programme wat deur die departement van justisie en korrektiewe dienste aangewys sal word, moet deelneem.

Davison, ‘n kampvegter vir genadedood, is daarvan beskuldig dat hy dr. Anrich Burger in 2013, Justin Varian in Julie 2015 en Richard Holland in November 2015 gehelp het om hul eie lewe te neem.

Hy is in 2018 in verband met die dood van Burger, sy vriend, in hegtenis geneem nadat hy ‘n jaar ná sy dood erken het dat hy

Western Cape is becoming a war zone! Sadly there is only 1 cop for every 509 people in the province

Posted on Leave a comment

According to the 2017/18 crime figures, national murder rate increased by almost 7%, which translates to 57 murders a day. The latest crime statistics show that detectives in Nyanga, Cape Town, investigate 308 murders a year on average. This was 27 more than the previous financial year.

Western Cape Premier Alan Winde said police were woefully under-resourced in the province. Winde revealed on Tuesday that the police to population ratio was one police officer for every 509 people in the province. In the Cape Town metro it was one officer for 560 people.

Kraaifontein, also in Cape Town, recorded the biggest jump with a staggering 31% increase in murders. The stats also show how almost all gang-related murders in South Africa were recorded in the Western Cape.

Winde said Western Cape police had to investigate at least 10 new murders per day and it did not include the thousands of other crimes that make up their caseloads.

Winde said the pro

MyCity N2 diens opgeskort tussen Kaapstand sentraal, Khayelitsha en Mitchellsplein weens kontraktuele dispuut

Posted on Leave a comment

Weens ‘n kontraktuele dispuut tussen MyCity en die Stadsraad van Kaapstad is die diens tussen Kaapstad sentraal en die gebiede Khayelitsha en Mitchellsplein opgeskort.

‘n Kontrak tussen die Stad, Golden Arrow Busdiens en huurmotor assosiasies het verlede week verval en ʼn nuwe kontrak is nog nie beding nie.

Waarnemers wonder oor hoe ʼn raad wag tot op op die nippertjie gewag word om ‘n nuwe kontrak in plek te stel is moeilik verklaarbaar.

Daar is intussen weer ʼn brand gevind by Transnet se werf waar verskeie ongebruikte treinwaens vernietig is. Dit blyk asof vervoer van pendelaars in die Kaapse metro deur onbekwame amptenare, buitensporige eise van huurmotor verenigings en brandstigters tot ‘n stilstand gebring gaan word.

Wes-Kaapse boere word deur barbare afgemaai tydens voortslepende plaasaanvalle terwyl ANC-regime blindelings weg kyk

Posted on Leave a comment

Die afgelope maande het die Wes-Kaap se boere die teiken geword van die barbare wat moorddadig op onskuldige mense toesak.

Die naweek is nog ’n boer vermoor, en die rede waarom die volksmoord voortgaan, is heel eenvoudig.

Die moordenaars is in die meeste gevalle werkloses, wat sukkel om ’n bestaan te voer, en weet as hulle betrap word, of later in hegtenis geneem word, beteken dit tronkstraf.

Tronkstraf is vir baie ’n “uitkoms” uit die haglike situasie waarin hulle verkeer, en is nie vir almal ’n straf nie.

Die moord op Stefan Smit (62) is ’n voorbeeld van wat aan die gang is, want niks is gesteel tydens die moord aanval nie. Dit is egter bekend dat hy ’n grondeis teengestaan het, en die vermoede bestaan dat die grondgrypers agter die hele aanslag sit.

Vroeër, toe die draer van ’n plakkaat, “We want land” gevra is wat gaan hy met die grond doen as hy dit kry, was daar net oë wat gesak het, en geen antwoord n

Check your traffic fines! – POSSIBLE TRAFFIC FINE SCAM EXPOSED IN WESTERN CAPE – Road users fined for wrongful speeding

Posted on Leave a comment

Like so many others Martin Wohlfarter recently received a traffic fine with a picture of him supposedly speeding in a 80km zone on the N1 near the Huguenot tunnel.

But upon closer inspection, and triangulating the exact location of his bakkie at the position of an electricity mast and prominent rocks and boulders on the mountain ridge in the background he discovered that the actual point of capture was just after the 100km/hr sign post. He posted his discovery on social media and was flooded by others detailing the exact same experience. In doing so he might have unknowingly exposed a huge traffic fine scam in the western cape.

After posting photographic proof of his discovery tens of others responded saying they got fined in the exact same location indicating distance markers that were not in the correct zone. Some of the responders were Cantal Carstens; Craven Joubert; An-Ria Schreuder; Louis Cilliers; Klaus Pockpas; Rory Harrison; Pierre Schelhase;

CapeXit – Free the Cape! – citizens concerned about rampant crime,horrific violence in SA since 1994

Posted on Leave a comment

Concerns: It is clear that most citizens are deeply concerned about the rampant crime and horrific violence which has escalated throughout the country. Over half a million South Africans have been murdered since 1994. South Africa suffers from the highest rape rate in the world. Almost everybody is deeply concerned about the safety of their family and particularly their children.

Indoctrination is Replacing Education

The deteriorating quality of education, which in many cases seems indistinguishable from political indoctrination, has led to a major growth industry of thousands of independent schools and homeschooling. All of this is a massive vote of no confidence in the ministry of education.

Taxation, Corruption, and Inflation

Of course, most people are deeply concerned for the economy, the lack of jobs, unemployment, inflation and the deteriorating buying power of the Rand. Economist Steven Goodson, who was once a Director of the South
