EFF dring daarop aan dat Kaapse Internasionale Lughawe se naam verander moet word na die Winnie Mandela Internasionale Lughawe, ’n vrou wat skuldig bevind is aan ontvoering, diefstal en bedrog

Posted on Leave a comment

Parlementslede gaan vanmiddag debat voer oor die herbenaming van die Kaapstadse Internasionale Lughawe na die ANC veteraan, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.

Die leier van die EFF, Julius Malema, het die mosie ter tafel gelê. Die party gaan daarop aandring dat die Kaapse Internasionale Lughawe se naam verander moet word na die Winnie Mandela Internasionale Lughawe. Die EFF sê Madikizela-Mandela se bydrae tot die bevryding van die land én in die lig van die min openbare plekke wat na vrouevryheidsvegters vernoem is, is genoeg rede om die lughawe na Madikizela-Mandela te vernoem.

Madikizela-Mandela het internasionaal berug geword met haar goedkeuring van halssnoer teregstellings. Sy is skuldig bevind aan die ontvoering van Stompie Sepei en is ook in 2003 skuldig bevind aan diefstal en bedrog.

Dit is die persoon wie nou op die wyse vereer moet word deur ‘n internasionale lughawe na haar te vernoem

Eerbare polisie ontbreek oral in SA – Speurhoof van Wes-Kaap word ondersoek vir sy betrokkenheid by misdaad van kapings en marteling

Posted on Leave a comment

Die Wes-Kaap se speurhoof, majoor Gen Jeremy Vearey, word ondersoek nadat klagtes van kaping en marteling ontvang is

Hy word nou ook vervolg weens beweerde dwarsboming van die gereg.

Die stasiebevelvoerder van Mitchells Plein, brigadier Cass Goolam, word klaarblyklik ook ondersoek deur intelligensie personeel .

Die twee senior polisiebeamptes het glo gepoog om ‘n persoon te impliseer in die dood van Mervin Jacobs in 2009.

Die vermoede bestaan dat die twee nie die enigste beamptes is wat hulle aan sulke misdrywe skuldig maak in die provinsie nie.

Schools in Western Cape turning into drug holes and war zones – School Education system in SA is no longer safe – items including knives, screwdrivers, dagga and cigarettes found on learners in secondary school

Posted on Leave a comment

The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) and the South African Police Service (SAPS) have confiscated a box of contraband and weapons from learners at a Mitchells Plain school.

Members of the police conducted a search and seizure operation at Woodlands Secondary School on Thursday morning.

The WCED says the operation was conducted after reports of an increase in drugs and weapons in the school.

Learners of Woodlands Secondary School had their hands on their desks and school bags open while officers searched through their belongings.

Police found items including knives, screwdrivers, dagga and cigarettes on learners in various grades at the school.

Western Cape Education MEC Debbie Schäfer says she is concerned about learners entering the school premises with weapons.

She says they chose to do the random search at the school because there are frequent instances of violence and drug abuse.

Bo-Kaap residents hit out at developer over ‘underhanded tactics’ that are being used to traumatise the working-class people

Posted on Leave a comment

Bo-Kaap residents have accused property developer Blok Urban Living of underhanded tactics after the developer’s Western Cape High Court application to interdict residents from interrupting construction at its Lion Street site.

The application, before Judge Patrick Gamble, was for the interdict to be made permanent.

However, Judge Gamble found that the application had what seemed outstanding procedural issues which needed to be addressed, the absence of which could impede his ability to give a fair judgment on the matter.

In November, irate residents picketed against the development and against the delivery of a crane.

After heated arguments with police, the residents were met with force, including stun grenades and rubber bullets.

The developer’s lawyer had identified respondents in the second interdict application, which included nine protesters (five arrested), the Bo-Kaap Neighbourhood Watch and its chairperson.

Students at Cape Peninsula University of Technology build shacks on campus in protest against accommodation shortage

Posted on Leave a comment

Students at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) have put up shacks on the Bellville campus to highlight problems with accommodation.

Last week classes were disrupted at the university’s four campuses as students protested.

The shacks were first erected on Monday afternoon after the students were evicted from a conference room where they had been staying.

Mlahleki Mahoana from Ficksburg in the Free State says the students have nowhere else to go.

“We find ourselves in this situation because the university refuses to accommodate us and they closed the conference room saying it is not a place to sleep. Where should we go?”

Security guards demolished the shacks, but the students brought more material and built again.

“We are not disturbing any campus activities by erecting these structures. We have classes to attend but we must still fight for accommodation. We have to wait at the housing department all da

Bendes kaap eens spog pretpark van kinders in Seawinds-buurt – vandalisme, diefstal, misdaad en die onwettige drinkery en dwelmmisbruik vier hoogty

Posted on Leave a comment

Soos sonverbleikte beendere van ’n walvis lê die eens spoggerige pretpark van die Seawinds-buurt naby Lavender Hill daar: gestroop van metaal, rubber, hout en kabels.

Dié sogenaamde slimpark, wat belastingbetalers R7,6 miljoen gekos het en op Erfenisdag in September 2017 geopen het, is een van ses wat die Kaapstad-munisipaliteit tot dusver gebou het. Daar is soortgelyke parke in Atlantis, Nomzamo naby die Strand, Delft, Khayelitsha and Guguletu.

Seawinds s’n het gespog met ’n skaatsbaan, ’n sokkerveld, aktiwiteite om meer van die watersiklus te leer, sintetiese bane vir balspeletjies en swaaie. Maar dis alles tot niet.

Toe Rapport die park verlede Woensdag besoek het, het dit gelyk asof ’n orkaan alles bo die grond bloot weggevee het. Van die metaalheining het net metaalstompies oorgebly. Die sinte­tiese materiaal is uitgebrand, die houtklimraam afgesaag en die swaaie is weg.

“Soos ons nou hier stap, hulle watch ons.”

Park van R7,6 miljoen vir kinders naby Lavender Hill is ná net meer as ’n jaar net ’n “uitgebrande skelet” nadat vandalisme handuit ruk

Posted on Leave a comment

’n Park van R7,6 miljoen vir kinders naby Lavender Hill is ná net meer as ’n jaar net ’n “uitgebrande skelet”, sê die Kaapstadse metroraad.

Die metroraad het Woensdag sy afgryse uitgespreek oor die “kwaadwillige vernietiging en vandalisme” van die Seawinds Smart Park, wat nou glo “niks meer as ’n hoop rommel en as” is nie. Zahid Badroodien, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gemeenskapsdienste en gesondheid, sê niks is van die park wat op 24 September 2017 geopen is en “wêreldklas-geriewe”, waaronder ’n speelplek met water, oor nie.

In die park was ook twee bane vir balspeletjies, ’n piekniekterrein, ’n verhogie en ’n oefenplek.

“Dié geriewe is nou tot as verband, gevandaliseer of gesteel,” sê Badroodien.

“Die park is onherkenbaar beskadig. Gesinne het nie meer ’n mooi, veilige plek om te geniet nie en die kinders van die gebied het nou nóg minder ontspanningsgeriewe van hul eie.”

Twee lede van die 26-bende in Lavender Hill is Maandagoggend vroeg kort ná 03:25 in die middestad van Kaapstad in hegtenis geneem.

Die twee mans was glo albei in polisie-uniforms geklee toe hulle by Club 7, op die hoek van Loop- en Prestwick-straat, aangekeer is.

Hulle was glo op soek na die eienaar van die nagklub.

Die een man (44) is glo ’n generaal in die 26-bende en die ander man (45) is glo ook ’n “dik ding” in die bende.

’n Bron sê dat hulle in ’n roomkleurige Volkswagen Citi Golf met silwer wieldoppe gery het. Die enjinkap en die voorste gedeelte van die voertuig is blou. Die bron het gesê dat die voertuig vervalste nommerplate opgehad het.

Die 45-jarige man het glo ’n Walther P38-pistool met agt patrone by hom gehad. Hy het die wapen glo op die polisie gerig toe hulle aangekeer is. Die reeksnommer van die pistool is glo ook afgevyl.

Volgens die bron wou hulle nie sê hoekom hulle die nagklubeienaar s

Peter Marais, who will be running as the Freedom Front Plus’ Western Cape premier candidate – this is the same man who hopped from seven political parties in 25 years!

Posted on Leave a comment

Veteran politician Peter Marais has announced yet another comeback to the political arena – The 70-year-old has found an unlikely new political home, this time the Freedom Front Plus after joining Icosa as its metro chairperson just six months ago.

On Tuesday, he denied joining the party, saying he was only consulting for Icosa and decided to part ways when they didn’t heed his advice.

Marais, who will be running as the Freedom Front Plus’ Western Cape premier candidate, says that he’s not only counting on coloured people for support but all those who share the values of self-determination and advancing minority rights.

“Each government department is virtually bankrupt, destroyed by corruption which was caused because the minority has no say in the standards and the quality of appointments of senior personnel in all government departments.”

No South African politician in history, however, beats Peter Ma

Gatvol Capetonian wil betoog oor Wes-Kaap se rassistiese en onbillike arbeidspraktyke teenoor bruin mense

Posted on Leave a comment

Die burgerlike beweging Gatvol Capetonian is op die oorlogspad oor wat hulle die departement van arbeid in die Wes-Kaap se rassistiese en onbillike arbeidspraktyke teenoor bruin mense noem.

Die beweging beweer dat die provinsiale departement van arbeid sedert Desember 2017 net swart mense in hul kantoor in Mitchells Plain aangestel het en dat hulle die demografiese samestelling van die provinsie ignoreer.

Gatvol Capetonian maak hulle nou gereed vir ’n massaprotesaksie indien hul samesprekings Dinsdag met die departement se bestuur nie na wense verloop nie.

Hulle het glo die jaarlikse swierige parlementsopening in die visier indien daar nie aan hul eise gehoor gegee word nie.

“Ons doen ’n beroep op werklose bruin mense oor die Kaap heen om hulle by ons protesoptrede op Dinsdag 22 Januarie by die Mitchells Plain-burgersentrum se ar
