R33 miljoen se skade in brand by treinstasie – 12 treinwaens en 300 m se kabels is verwoes na brandstigting

Posted on Leave a comment

Die skade van die brand Sondag by die Kaapstad-treinstasie waarin twee treine verwoes is, beloop minstens R33 miljoen.

Metrorail in die Wes-Kaap het die verwoesting van die treine as ʼn “reuse-terugslag” bestempel. Maroela Media het vroeër berig die brand het Sondag omstreeks 15:40 plaasgevind en twee treine op platforms 13 en 14 is verwoes toe sterk winde die vlamme van een trein na die ander gewaai het.

Brandbestryders was teen 16:15 op die toneel en die brand was net ná 19:00 geblus. Volgens Metrorail is alle treinbedrywighede by die stasie as voorsorgmaatreël gestaak.

Altesaam 12 treinwaens en 300 m se kabels is verwoes. Geen personeel of pendelaars is egter beseer nie.

Metrorail sê in die verklaring die polisie is besig om kringtelevisiebeeldmateriaal na te gaan as deel van die ondersoek na die voorval, maar voorlopige aanduidings dui daarop dat brandstigting die oorsaak van die brand was.

Intussen sê Blade Nzimande,

Posted on Leave a comment

Die brand by die Kaapstad-treinstasie is vroeg Sondagaand geblus.

Jermaine Carelse, woordvoerder van die nooddienste in Kaapstad, sê niemand is beseer in die brand nie.

Hy sê nege treinwaens van twee treine is in die brand verwoes.

Geskorste Kaapse metro-hoë sit tuis met vet salarispakket van R2,8 miljoen per jaar, oftewel R233 000 per maand en sy hoef nie ’n steek werk te doen nie

Posted on Leave a comment

Een van die tien hoogs betaalde amptenare van die Kaapstad-metroraad is nou al 15 maande by die huis en hoef nie ’n steek werk te doen vir haar salarispakket van R2,8 miljoen per jaar, oftewel R233 000 per maand, nie.

Melissa Whitehead, geskorste kommissaris van vervoer en stedelike ontwikkeling van die metroraad, se totale salaris word sedert haar skorsing in Januarie verlede jaar aan haar betaal. Sien Whitehead se kommentaar onderaan waarin sy sê sy wou aanhou werk, maar die metroraad het haar voorlopig geskors.

Whitehead is geskors hangende ’n tugverhoor oor beweerde bedrog en onreëlmatighede met tenderprosesse.

In die 2017-’18-boekjaar was daar slegs sewe poste van uitvoerende direkteurs in die Kaapstad-metroraad op dieselfde salariskerf as Whitehead.

Die enigste amptenaar van die metroraad wat meer as Whitehead verdien, is die munisipale bestuurder met ’n totale salarispakket van R3,4 miljoen.

Hoewel die ander hoë a

Peter Marais is advocating for self-determination in the Western Cape ahead of the general elections in May

Posted on Leave a comment

Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus) premier candidate Peter Marais says he wants the Western Cape to be run independently from the rest of South Africa.

Marais is advocating for self-determination in the Western Cape ahead of the general elections in May.

With less than a month to go, Marais said there were enough resources for the province to stand on its own two feet.

The Western Cape Constitution allows for the premier to call for a referendum, but no premier has ever decided to go that route, but that could change if Marais moves into the official residence.

He said one of his first tasks will be to call a referendum asking residents whether they want an independently run province.

“You will still have the same economic arrangement from the central government, they must just give us our share of the fiscus.”

Marais has, however, admitted that such a decision could lead to residents paying more taxes.

“We might ask

Ontstoke gemeenskapslede by Sir Lowrypas-nedersetting raak oproerig omdat provinsiale regering ’n nuwe skool wil bou in nedersetting en nie grond beskikbaar wil stel vir huise

Posted on Leave a comment

Daar was Dinsdag ’n sterk polisieteenwoordigheid in die Sir Lowryspas-nedersetting naby Somerset-Wes in die Wes-Kaap nadat betogers Maandag die N2-snelweg en ander toegangsroetes na die nedersetting versper het.

Die betogers is ongelukkig omdat die provinsiale regering ’n nuwe skool op ’n stuk grond in die nedersetting wil bou. Hulle wil hê die grond moet eerder vir behuising gebruik word.

Malusi Booi, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir menslike nedersettings in Kaapstad, sê hy is nie bewus van enige betogings wat Dinsdag plaasgevind het nie.

Die N2-snelweg was ook nie Dinsdag gesluit nie. “Ons het ’n sterk polisieteenwoordigheid sodat die N2 oop bly vir verkeer,” sê Booi.

Hy het Maandag en Dinsdag met die ontstoke gemeenskapslede vergader. “Ons het vir die gemeenskap vertel ons het ander lappies grond vir behuising geoormerk wat ontwikkel kan word. Ons het dit duidelik gemaak dat geen onwettige optrede tydens die betogings gedu

Kaapse metro kan oor ses jaar weens verstedeliking byna 500 000 nuwe inwoners bykry – Nuwe trend kan verdere armoede, werkloosheid, oorbevolking en spanning veroorsaak

Posted on Leave a comment

Kaapstad kan oor ses jaar weens verstedeliking byna 500 000 nuwe inwoners bykry – Met migrasie-tendense wat wys dat mense wat stad toe trek nie noodwendig oor die toepaslike vaardighede beskik om werk te kry nie, kan dit verdere armoede, werkloosheid, oorbevolking en spanning veroorsaak.

Dít is van die werklikhede wat die Kaapstadse metroraad met veranderings aan sy nuwe geïntegreerde ontwikkelingsplan vir die metropoolgebied in ag neem.

Dié plan is Maandagoggend op ’n spesiale vergadering van die burgemeesterskomitee ingedien en moet Donderdag op die raadsvergadering bespreek en oorweeg word.

Volgens dié plan word verwag dat die aantal inwoners in Kaapstad van 2016 tot 2021 met 485 000 sal styg.

Die stede in Suid-Afrika wat die meeste deur verstedeliking geraak word, is Johannesburg en Kaapstad, lui ’n verslag wat deel van die ontwikkelingsplan is.

Met die vierde industriële revolusie wat die struktuur van die ekono

Sovereign State of Good Hope – Self-proclaimed Khoisan King wants to stop may elections and has applied for an urgent cease and desist order against Ramaphosa and the government

Posted on Leave a comment

A self-proclaimed king of the Khoisan People wants to stop the May elections from taking place in the Eastern Cape, Western Cape and Northern Cape.

Calvin Cornelius has applied for an urgent cease and desist order against President Cyril Ramaphosa and the government.

But the so-called Khoisan king’s legitimacy is being questioned by another Khoisan grouping.

Cornelius said he and his followers believe that the three provinces belong to the Khoisan people.

They have renamed the three provinces the Sovereign State of Good Hope and want land returned to them before any elections are held.

But the chief of the First Indigenous Nation of South Africa Gregg Fick said Cornelius is not recognised.

“We do not recognise him as a king. We do not recognise him his leadership in the Khoi-Khoi and San movement and we also do not recognise the Sovereign State of Good Hope.”

The matter is yet to be heard in court.

Another feud erupts over Afrikaans – Xhosa learners at a Western Cape high school protest against teachers using Afrikaans as educational language

Posted on Leave a comment

Pupils at a Western Cape high school protested on Wednesday about teachers who allegedly conduct classes in Afrikaans instead of English.

Western Cape education department spokesperson Bronagh Hammond said about 300 pupils protested outside Diazville High in Saldanha Bay, north of Cape Town, before handing over a letter listing their grievances.

“The learners then returned to class. Teaching and learning time was not disrupted as a result of the protest,” said Hammond.

The pupils complained that some teachers insisted on teaching in Afrikaans. “The learners’ home language is Xhosa and their language of teaching and learning is English,” she said.

“There were also several accusations against certain educators at the school and their behaviour and treatment towards learners.”

Hammond said the education department would investigate the pupils’ grievances and “take appropriate actio

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

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.
