Zuma faction comrades trapped by fear
Politics
Mr G Maduray, really, which planet are you from? You’re calling all those who vote secretly against Zuma, spineless creatures. By doing that they will actually save the country from further destruction. Get a life, wake up and smell the coffee, bro! Muthu Mari.
Admit all is not well in the ANC, says MEC Fikile Xasa to his comrades in the Eastern Cape. With so many of his colleagues, in central government, on the gravy train, will they do so? No. That’s nigh impossible. Not unless they are provided with something better. Those that are currently backing JZ will lose out big time if they go against him. This, they know very well. Many in the PG debacle spoke out against JZ’s decision to fire him and his deputy. They then changed their stance after attending a meeting with JZ. What stops them from doing something similar? It is a shame that people elected to serve the people are serving themselves. They care two hoots for the people that voted for their party. To hell with the people. That’s their attitude. So, MEC Xasa, do you believe you can make a difference in the ANC and the government? Let’s hope so.
Corruption is a disease that has affected the police services so badly that I urge the minister to get in touch with the Department of Health to find treatment of this scourge.

Recently the counterfeit department raided some traders in the Durban area selling fake clothing and shoes. One officer then approached a guy selling fidget spinners and declared, “The shops are selling these” and proceeded to steal some spinners because “I like this one and I like this one”. No inventory was left behind as procedure requires.
Please can someone from Durban confirm what amount does an old age person receive from SASSA. I have just read a “reply” from SASSA with regards to a query about deductions from their pension where Dianne Dunkerley, the Executive Manager, wrote ... “receives the full old-age pension of R1 620 per month. I am asking, as I DON’T receive that amount, I receive R1 500 monthly. Do I query this amount, or is this amount only paid to Durban pensioners? From curious Pensioner.
What if India won the cricket match against Pakistan and some people in Pakistan celebrated that victory? Would those people have been charged for sedition or would they have been executed?
“BIG” article on Logie’s weight loss. My mother cut out my masala and all those rich, rich foods at weddings, and I lost even more weight. How come I didn’t get an article? Masala Maharaj.
Accident on N2 northbound on Saturday. Cars/taxis using emergency lane and obstructing emergency vehicles… Come on, guys, precious lives can be lost because of you. Please consider those involved in these accidents – it might just be you one day. cm.
Durban July: By any chance are the Guptas running the July? Wish they turn out in their glitz and glamour to show Durban their magic. Or will they be afraid to be recognised in such a crowd? MOL. It’s sad to see so many road name boards are missing, especially in the Bluff and Wentworth, Austerville areas. Difficult in finding one’s way around. Councillors need to take action. Pf.
Imagine! Received an SMS at 3:45am stating loans available! What a disturbance. Does anyone else receive these SMSes?
Most of the delegates and supporters at Nehawu’s 11th congress meeting seemed so bored and disinterested, but hey presto, once the meeting was over and dancing started, they were seen in fine fettle. Amazing! Hash42.
To the big bosses of Telkom: you have the damn audacity to advertise products that you can’t deliver to customers. As residents of Effingham Heights, we’ve been out of comms and internet for more than a month. The lame excuse is that “we don’t have sufficient material at hand to solve the problem” thanks to the new SA. Welkom to helkom.
