Waterpokkies breek uit in die middestad van Kaapstad waar buitelandse vlugtelinge gehuisves word, maar amptenare word toegang geweier!

Posted on Leave a comment

Gesondheidsbeamptes van die Stad Kaapstad en die Wes-Kaapse regering probeer toegang tot die Central Methodist Church in die middestad te kry waar buitelandse vlugtelinge gehuisves word na ‘n uitbraak van waterpokkies.

Hulle sê ‘n groep buitelandse burgers onder leiding van Jean-Pierre Balous, wat weens aanranding gearresteer is, weier hulle toegang tot die gebou. Balous is van agt aanklagte van aanranding aangekla en sal in die hof verskyn. Gesondheidsamptenare sê sy volgelinge eis dat hy vrygelaat word. Balous word daarvan beskuldig dat hy onbetroubaar is deur ‘n ander groep onder leiding van Papi Sukami. Meer as 800 buitelandse burgers het in die kerk gewoon sedert hulle in Oktober buite die kantoor van die VN-kommissie vir vlugtelinge op Green Market Square verwyder is.

Die polisie monitor die situasie.

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.

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.

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

Beaufort West municipality spent R2-million to build 21 toilets, indicating that one toilet cost taxpayers R110 000? – There is reason to believe that somebody has filled their pockets with taxpayers money!

Posted on Leave a comment

The MEC of the Western Cape’s department of human settlements, Bonginkosi Madikizela, has lifted the lid on something he calls corruption at the Beaufort West municipality.

Two years ago, it is alleged that the municipality, under the leadership of mayor Truman Prince, received a budget boost equalling R1.9-million.

The funds were for the building of internal toilets for housing structures in the area.

Madikizela alleged that a further R400 000 was injected into the project, to oversee the entire process of building and installing 100 toilets.

However, as reported by EWN, to the shock of the human settlements’ MEC, the municipality had allegedly ran through R2-million with only 21 toilets built.

Madikizela accuses municipality of misusing funds
What exacerbates Madikizela, he says, is the fact that it took something close to a year to build six toilets. Furthermore, he claims that there isn’t sufficient funds to develop

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

Gemarginaliseerde minderhede is Gatvol in die Kaap – Nuwe NPO Gatvol Capetonian is besig om momentum te kry

Posted on Leave a comment

Met sy credo – Van die mense – Deur die mense – Vir die mense, is die NPO Gatvol Capetonian steeds besig om momentum te kry.

Die groep NPO Gatvol Capetonian is gestig deur drie Kleurling-mans afkomstig van Kaapstad naamlik: Oscar Lyons, mediaskakelbestuurder, Ebrahiem Davids (voormalige) voorsitter, en Fadiel Adams, nasionale woordvoerder. Die huidige voorsitter is Mark Lewis.

Gatvol Capetonian is op 30 April 2018 gestig om die gemarginaliseerde minderhede van Suid-Afrika te verteenwoordig. Ons praat nou van diegene wat genoeg gehad het van swak dienslewering, misdaad en rassistiese SEB-beleide wat hulle van indiensneming uitsluit. As ‘n nie-winsgewende organisasie geregistreer, is die groep se sleutel fokusareas behuising, onderwys, misdaad en werkloosheid.

Gatvol Capetonian wil ‘n onafhanklike Wes-Kaap hê en het hard gewerk om bewusmaking van hoe Suid-Afrika se minderhede aan die hande van swart onderdrukking en

Kaapstad se brûe na nêrens gaan onvoltooid bly

Posted on Leave a comment

Kaapstad se brûe na nêrens gaan nou net so bly – onvoltooid en met geen planne om dit te ontwikkel nie.

Die Kaapstad-metroraad het Woensdagoggend ’n verklaring uitgereik dat alle planne wat gemaak is om die brûe te voltooi, nou geskrap word.

Redes waarom dié grootskaalse plan tot niet is, is volgens die metroraad gegrond op regsadvies oor die integriteit van die tenderproses wat tot nou gevolg is.

Nóg ’n rede wat die Kaapstad-metroraad as verskoning aanbied, is dat die ekonomiese vooruitsig van die land slegter lyk as in die tyd toe die planne twee jaar gelede bekend gemaak is.

Die plan is op 21 Junie 2016 deur Patricia de Lille, burgemeester, aangekondig toe sy in ruil vir ’n oplossing vir die onvoltooide brûe ’n uiters gesogte gebied van 6 ha in Roggebaai (tussen die stad en die hawe) aangebied het vir ’n ontwikkelaar wie se planne sal kan werk.

Die ontwikkelaar sou ook met ’n plan vorendag moes kom om die ver

Skade aan die munisipale infrastruktuur in Hermanus as gevolg die afgelope paar weke se betogings beloop na raming al R40 miljoen.

Vier skole is ook sedert Dinsdag met die begin van die derde skoolkwartaal weens die voortslepende betogings in Zwelihle gesluit.

Die Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepartement het bevestig dat die Mount Pleasant Primary School, Zwelihle Primary School, Lukhanyo Primary School en Qhayiya Secondary School gesluit is. Die ontwrigting raak ook leerlinge wat na skole buite Zwelihle moet gaan.

’n Program word tans opgestel sodat leerlinge hul werk kan inhaal wanneer hulle na die skool terugkeer.

Die Overstrand-munisipaliteit het Woensdagoggend bevestig dat mense weer in Zwelihle betoog en motorbuitebande by Peach House aan die brand gesteek het.

“Volgens berigte maak opstokers die inwoners van Zwelihle wakker om ’n skare byeen te kry. Traanrook is afgevuur.”

Bo-Kaap unites in protest to hold onto heritage

Posted on Leave a comment

In the narrow cobbled streets of Bo-Kaap, an hour before the call to prayer echoes at sunset, young people begin to set tyres alight.

Traditionally, the Islamic holy month of Ramadan is a time of community spirit and peace in the Cape Town suburb. As the time nears for the fast to be broken at dusk, families prepare food to share with their neighbours.

But this year, young people are upholding another tradition which they inherited from their elders: a battle to protect their homes in the inner city from private developers who see the appeal of prime land in Bo-Kaap.

For years residents of Bo-Kaap have met with city officials and heritage experts to have the area zoned off for heritage protection. Brett Herron, a mayoral committee member for urban development and transport, has promised protected heritage sites will not be demolished for big luxury developments.

But, the Bo-Kaap community remains sceptical. The area — Bo-Kaap residents
