Criminal Admiral teaches youth about ethics and morals

Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala
By Mike Smith
5th of January 2012

In 2004 liberals all over the world and especially the feminists were drooling all over Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala when she became South Africa’s first female Admiral in the Navy.

A women just doesn’t get appointed like that overnight. She must have rendered some services during the 1980’s when she was an ANC commander at the Quatro training camp in Angola where the ANC tortured raped and killed their own people. Word is that she was the communist mattress for the ANC top brass at Quatro.
Be it as it may, it did not take long for her true low class colours to come out. She slapped a navy guard who wanted to search her vehicle, she defrauded the state by fraudulently claiming for a stolen laptop worth R15,000 that was not stolen at all and in Durban she claimed for a stay in a guest house that she never stayed in.
This is a woman who apparently has a masters degree in criminology.
After being convicted of fraud by a military court, she resigned, but withdrew her resignation to rather take a more lucrative golden handshake. She eventually left the Navy in 2008 in disgrace.

But she soon got another job as a “reservist” in the Department of Defence in Pretoria in 2010. This is in full contradiction of the law that states that no person appointed in a military reservist position should have a criminal record.
As we know. There are laws for the rest of us in SA and then there are laws for the ANC, who are actually above the law or a law onto themselves.
Now the Beeld Newspaper reported on 3rd of January 2012 that the darling of the feminists with her criminal record has been appointed as chief of the SANDF’s project to teach morals and ethics to younger citizens.
The report states that amongst other things, she teaches the youth discipline, not to commit crime and how to be a good role model.

With a degree in criminology and being a criminal herself, I am sure she has a lot to teach the youth about crime...or how not to get caught doing it.

Personally I cannot think of a worse role model for SA’s youth than Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala, but this is the reality of the role models and leaders of the ANC government...
 
Criminals in charge as politicians
 
Criminals in charge of the Defence Force
 
Criminals in charge of the police
 
...and people ask why it is going so bad with South Africa.
 
 
 


 

White Women Lose Out

This is a victory for the black business lobby, which has been fighting to exclude white women from the job market’… writes ANC’s own newspaper....

White women would be the biggest losers once the broad-based black economic empowerment amendment bill was enacted as expected early next year, BEE specialist Andile Tlhoaele said on Monday. The proposed changes meant they would no longer be entitled to benefit from empowerment programmes as has been the case till now. This represents a victory for the black business lobby, which has been fighting for their exclusion.

White women would no longer be regarded as legitimate beneficiaries of black economic empowerment once imminent new laws come into effect, a member of a subcommittee of the presidential BEE advisory committee, Andile Tlhoaele, said in an interview.

The Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Amendment Bill eliminates all white people including the disabled.


“The definition of black people is now clear and aligned with the Constitution,” Tlhoaele said.

There has been widespread criticism that white women were benefitting disproportionately from black economic empowerment with their black counterparts relegated to the bottom rung of the drive to redress societal inequalities. The Black Management Forum has been leading the calls for white women to be excluded after it came to light that they were the fastest rising category of people in terms of employment equity.

Tlhoaele said the inclusion of white women had been abused. This had defeated the aim of true inclusivity.

Now that the B-BBEE Act would take precedence over other legislation relating empowerment, enterprises would no longer be able to claim employment equity points for white women. Employment equity is a key element of the B-BBEE scorecard used to rate empowerment credentials.

The Employment Equity Act still has white women as a designated group for affirmative action purposes.

Tlhoaele said proposed changes to BEE legislation would go a long in ensuring that growing numbers of previously disadvantaged South Africans were drawn into the mainstream economy.

Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies gazetted the Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Amendment Bill two weeks ago and gave members of the public 60 days to make submissions. Another highlight of the amendments has been the criminalisation of the practice of misrepresenting BEE credentials, known as fronting.

In terms of the proposed amendments, those involved in fronting could face jail terms of up to 10 years or be fined 2%-10% of annual turnover depending on the seriousness of the incident. In addition, contracts awarded to guilty companies could be cancelled.

Further, the amended law requires the government and its agencies to comply. The auditor-general will audit and report on BEE compliance for government departments.

Stock exchange-listed companies will be required to submit annual reports to the B-BBEE Commission, which the amendments propose. The commission’s function would include supervising adherence to the act.

It would further receive and investigate complaints relating to B-BBEE, and maintain a registry of major empowerment transactions. “The proposals are a bold move and demonstrate government’s commitment to ensure successful implementation of BEE,” Tlhoaele said. “The Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment Amendment Bill closes many loopholes in the current BEE Act – a move that is long overdue.”


Oh yes - and of course this is NOT racist at all - it is not racist to refuse a man or a woman a job based on the colour of their skin, no not at all - it is not discrimination at all if the best man or woman cannot be appointed based on the colour of their skin, NO NOT AT ALL - at least not in the new south africa, where are all those who fought so bravely to forcefully install this regime upon this country? Why are they SO QUIET now?

A Year Long Party - ANC Style.

The ANC Governmunt party expects 46 heads of state to attend the three days of celebrations that start Friday, with 100 000 supporters expected to flood into the normally placid central city of Bloemfontein.

Events include a golf tournament - fair enough , a ritual cleansing ceremony and animal sacrifice at the church where the party was founded in 1912.


 
A religious row has erupted on the eve of the ANC’s centenary celebrations over the party’s plans to slaughter a cow and commune with the ancestors this weekend.

African Christian Democratic Party leader Rev Kenneth Meshoe has turned down his invitation as an opposition party leader to attend the festivities in the belief that invoking the spirits of dead leaders will have “devastating consequences for the country”.



Instead he planned to join other Christian groups outside the Union Buildings in Pretoria today for a 5pm prayer and worship ceremony to “dedicate South Africa to the living God, Jesus Christ”.

ANC chaplain-general Vukile Mehana said he was asking Meshoe to “pray deeply and reflect correctly so that he may reconsider his decision and be part of this historic event of the celebration of the liberation of our people”.

“If the good reverend is not going to honour the invitation simply because of his fundamentalist Christian beliefs, that will show that he is practising religious intolerance – a behaviour which is totally unacceptable and a direct contravention of our constitution as well as the fundamental values and principles of Christianity,” Mehana said.

The centenary celebrations were not about “worshipping ancestors”. and it was “mischievous and misleading” to suggest the ANC favoured one particular faith over others.

“What Reverend Meshoe must learn and understand is that the centenary celebrations are not about worshipping ancestors.

“However, through the ceremonies and services which form part of the centenary programme, the ANC will venerate the spirit of those who were part of its history… there is nothing wrong with the inclusion of African religious beliefs and practices.”

But Meshoe was not persuaded. “Because I love my country I cannot associate with dedicating it to dead people.”

He urged all Christians and other South Africans “who love the country” to join in prayer “to do what is right, because what the ANC is doing is wrong”.

He noted that ANC chairwoman Baleka Mbete had said they would invoke the spirits of the ancestors to come help the country. “My only concern is that it will have devastating consequences for South Africa.”

Meshoe claimed the quake in Haiti showed the dangers of invoking spirits and that Nigeria was suffering economically because the country was “dedicated to the ancestors”.

2012

Never in our lifetime has the future been in a more uncertain state.

Obviously, neither Chantell Ilbury nor I experienced the horrors of the two world wars of the last century. So the phrase that change has become more extreme is simply not valid. However, the potential for major upsets is huge; and it is against that backdrop that we offer our list of events, trends or issues that could make headlines in 2012:
1) Red Flags Rising
In terms of the global economy, we have upped the probability on the “forked Lightning” scenario of a double dip, where the second crash is even bigger than the one of 2008, to 20% (from 10).

The reason is that one of the flags for this scenario has always been a sovereign default of note. Italy and Spain are candidates, the crucial thing to watch being the interest rate on their 10 year bonds. If it jumps above 7% for a prolonged time, the servicing of the bonds becomes problematic given the challenge of reducing the overall deficit.

The hike in interest payments will overshadow the cuts in government expenditure affected elsewhere to improve solvency. The deficit will thereby worsen creating a vicious circle of even higher interest rates. Greece has already entered this downward spiral.

In regard to South Africa, we have raised the probability on the “Failed State” scenario from 10 to 15% following the passing of the Secrecy Bill. While the main flag for the scenario remains the level of violence which is certainly nowhere near what is happening in Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq, a subsidiary flag was the gagging of the press.

The latter could cause a massive leap in corruption as there will no longer be the counterbalancing fear of exposure. Critical factors to watch now will be the scope of topics defined as secret and the magnitude of punishment meted out to journalists found guilty of breaking the law.

Both scenarios are still outsiders, but have become more heavily tipped to challenge the favourites.
2) Dances with Wolves
The recent climate change conference in Durban has only revealed the deep divisions that still exist between nations on how to handle the issues. The upshot was to kick the can into convocation in two years time.

Accordingly we attach a 90% probability to one scenario “Dances with Wolves” in which the super-emitters like China and America carry on their dirty dancing act regardless. Alas, “Strictly Ballroom” – a tight agreement forcing nations to waltz together towards clearly set reductions in carbon emissions – is given a wild card probability of 10%
3) Fragile China
Last year we showcased “Ultraviolet”, a scenario where advanced economies were caught in a U-shaped trap of lacklustre growth while emerging economies were enjoying a V-shaped recovery, as our favourite to win the race over the next five years.

We have now switched back to “Hard Times” for everybody, the flag being China’s future GDP growth rate. We are less convinced that China can contain or exceed 8% per annum for two reasons: exports are 38% of China’s GDP and exporting into a flat Europe is taking its toll; and there are two indications of an imminent bursting of the property bubble which could lead to defaults on loans provided to municipalities by Chinese banks. If China dips below 5% economic growth, all the countries which supply resources to China will feel the heat too. We are now 60:40 on China having a soft or hard landing versus a continuing boom.
4) American Civil war (Part 2)
Relations between Democrats and Republicans have taken to an all-time low, just when co-operation between the two parties is essential to get America’s finances back in order. The focus has been on Europe; but it could easily switch to America if inflation picks up unexpectedly and interest rates rise.

Nevertheless, its economy is in better shape; and it is a unitary state capable of fixing things in a way that Europe – without establishing closer fiscal ties between its members – cannot do. It remains to be seen whether the presidential election will degenerate into an all-out war between the candidates.
Given the widening gap between the rich and the middle class and the poor caused by the recession; social unrest cannot be rules out. Meanwhile, it is unlikely during an election year that any meaningful solution will be found to the escalatory cost of government health and welfare programmes.

Democracy and austerity are uneasy bedfellows. But if anyone can find a way through, the Americans can. Never count them out.
5) Syrian Showdown / Russian Spring
2011 will be remembered as the year of the Arab Spring which toppled regimes in some countries and continues to be a revolutionary influence in others.

The jury is still out on whether genuine democracy and a better life for all will result from what has happened so far. The situation in Syria with its ties to Iran and its proximity to Israel could have far more complex and explosive repercussions.

The surprise is that the Russians seem to have caught the bug too with all kinds of implications for the nation possessing the second biggest nuclear armoury on Earth. Rightly, Time magazine has named the protester as its person of the year.
6) The Age of Intelligence
We have through the Age of Industrialisation and more recently through the Age of Knowledge, and currently stand at the dawn of the Age of Intelligence.

With all the tools and machinery of the first era and all the information at our fingertips from the second era, we now face challenges of much higher complexity demanding a huge leap in the quality education, skills, creativity, and all-round intelligence. Nations that understand this will do better than nations which remain blissfully ignorant.

Companies that apply their intelligence to engaging new producers and services which offer value for money in the “Hard Times” scenario will continue to grow and flourish. Unintelligent companies will go to the wall. Individuals who demonstrate versatility of skills and flexibility of mind will make a good living. Those that fail to adapt will limit their chances.
7) The Dutch Disease
Last year we talked about more smacks from Mother Nature. Sure enough, she duly delivered those smacks in Japan, New Zealand and several other countries.

This year is the risk that deadly strain of bird flu – a genetic mutation of H5N1 into a highly infectious influenza transmittable through coughing and sneezing – could escape from the laboratory that created it in Rotterdam. H5N1 kills 60 percent of the people it has infected.

The knowledge of how to manufacture the new strain could also be leaked to terrorist groups. With seven billion inhabitants on this planet, with the concentration of a large portion in megacities and increased mobility offered by travel by air, sea, rail or road, the danger of a global epidemic always lurks in the background.
8) The Year of the Bull
Our mainframe scenarios for South Africa are “Premier League” to which we assign a 50% probability and “Second Division” which we give a 35% probability.

If you take into account the 15% probability for “failed state”, we are now at a 50:50 ratio between good and bad scenarios. In other words, we are at a second tipping point, the first one being in the early 1990s when we could have tipped into civil war. Fortunately, Codesa 1 and 2 produced a new constitution and a free and fair election in 1994.

The real issue at the current tipping point is no longer political freedom but economic freedom. South Africa still has a highly exclusive, lopsided economy plagued by an unacceptably high unemployment rate.

At the same time, 2012 is a year of note for the ANC starting with centenary celebrations through a debate on national economic strategy and ending up with a leadership contest. Will the young, radical bulls in the kraal push through their nationalisation and land expropriation agenda: or will the older, more experienced bulls prevail?

We would prefer 2012 to have another forum for creating a new economic blueprint: a Codesa 3 involving all the major economic actors. Only a joint approach will succeed.

Otherwise, it could be all bull.

Is necklacing returning to South Africa?

Earlier this year, South African townships were rocked by incidents of necklacing - mob-justice punishment in which tyres are forced over victims' shoulders and set alight. Is this notorious form of killing from the 1980s in danger of making a comeback?



Angelina Maholwana, 74, felt that justice was being done as she watched two young men burn to death.

Tyres had been forced over their shoulders, doused in petrol and set alight.



She had just identified Mabhutana Siwisa, 19, and Mloza Gqomfa, 20, as the men who had broken into her home, killed her son, tried to sexually assault her and stolen their belongings.

It was the fourth incident of necklacing in one month, in New Brighton township, in the industrial city of Port Elizabeth.

The practice dates back to the 1980s, when it became the punishment of choice among supporters of the African National Congress (ANC) for alleged collaborators with the apartheid regime - though the ANC leadership said it did not condone it.

It was also used against common criminals.

But necklacing appeared to die away in 1987. There had only been one recorded case in more than a decade - until June this year.

Beating and Stoning

The Port Elizabeth incidents - and a number of others elsewhere in the Eastern Cape Province in June and July - have raised fears that necklacing is returning as the most extreme form of a rising tide of vigilante justice.

Last year's police statistics show that of the 46 killings committed on an average day in South Africa, 5% are a result of vigilantism. Beating and stoning are two of the most common ways the killings are carried out.

Many people in poor communities like New Brighton township have lost faith in the police and see vigilantism as the best way of keeping the streets safe.

"Mob justice is not right but it has its place in our society," says Scelo Lucas, 28.

"It does reduce crime. We have seen a decrease in the crime here. People are scared because they know the community will rise up against them."

Some do worry, however, about the risk of the innocent being punished for crimes they did not commit.

"Mob justice is wrong because sometimes the wrong people get punished," says 19-year-old Siyasamkela Solani. "In the heat of the moment, there is a lot of room for mistaken identity."

Tied Up
 
The government has warned that those who take part in lynchings may be tried for murder and the police have embarked on a campaign to persuade communities to give it up.

Since July, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa has visited the Eastern Cape twice. There are also plans to take the campaign to other parts of the country, amid fears that necklacing could spread to other provinces.

In practice, however, communities tend to close ranks and protect each other when police investigate, so prosecutions are rare.

Ms Maholwana told the BBC that, in her view, the two men who killed her son got what they deserved.

"They killed my David like they were killing an animal," she says.

"They broke into our home and tied me and my son up and then put us in separate rooms. My feet were tied together so tight that they got swollen," she says.

In an ordeal that lasted some four hours, her son was stabbed in the neck and strangled with a power cord. After the robbers had left, she found him lying lifeless in a pool of blood.

The next day, the alleged perpetrators - thought to have been behind a string of house robberies - were brought by a crowd to her house. One was wearing her son's clothes.

After she had identified them, the mob beat them with sticks, pelted them with stones, forced on the tyres and set fire to them.

The more they tried to escape the angrier and more violent the crowd became, Ms Maholwana says.

"I know that killing these boys won't bring back my son but I sleep better now, knowing those boys will never hurt anyone else again."

History of necklacing


Men with burning tyre

  • 1984 -1987: About 672 people were burnt, half of them necklaced
  • March 1985 : Thamsanqa Kinini is killed in the first widely reported case of necklacing, which occurs in Uitenhage, Eastern Cape Province
  • July 1985: The first female victim, Maki Skhosana, is killed in Gauteng
  • 2008 - A Mozambican national is necklaced as a wave of xenophobic violence sweeps the country
  • June 2011 - More than seven people are necklaced in the Eastern Cape

Physical Geographical Separation, and not Segregation




Theodore Gilmore Bilbo (1877–1947) was possibly America’s most controversial politician to ever be elected to high office, including the governorship and senate of the state of Mississippi.

An avowed Southern nationalist, Bilbo was even a member of the Ku Klux Klan in his youth, although he left that organisation before he was elected to office.

Although a firm defender of Southern state’s rights and segregation, he was unusual in that he was one of the few who realised that racial segregation provided no answer to racial issues, and invoked considerable opposition from his fellow Southerners because of his demand that physical geographical separation, and not segregation, was the only way to preserve America and Western Civilization.

This book, written while Bilbo was awaiting a ruling by the US Senate designed to strip him of his senate seat, summed up his core beliefs about race, civilization and what he called the only solution to racial conflict: separate geographical states. It is a valuable historical document which accurately reflects racial thinking in the Deep South prior to the Civil Rights Era.

"If we choose any plan short of the physical separation of the races, we are in effect adopting the scheme of amalgamation of the races. We have thousands of years of racial contact in world history to prove to us that where different races live side by side, their blood will intermingle and a mongrel people will be the result. The road of amalgamation and mongrelization leads to the destruction of both the white and the Negro races and to the decay of our civilization which is the product of the white man.

Any student of racial history knows that if the Negroes remain in the United States, the last American will be an octoroon or a mongrel with some portion of Negro blood. If the Negroes are not removed, this condition may come about in three to five hundred years: The fact that it will come sooner or later is a certainty." P/B 257 pp

Zuma hails SA's 'visible progress'

President Jacob Zuma claiming great strides had been made in improving South Africa!!!!

The year 2011 has ended better than it started in South Africa, President Jacob Zuma said on Friday, claiming great strides had been made in improving healthcare, education, service delivery and fighting crime.
"We have made visible progress in reducing serious and violent crimes, in improving healthcare, rural development, education, social security and the general expansion of access to basic services," he said.

In 2011 the government created partnerships for job creation and made firm plans to improve infrastructure. A great achievement for the country was hosting the COP17 climate change conference.

Hosting the event in Durban, and the International Olympic Committee General Assembly in July, enhanced the country's image as a first class organiser of international events.

Zuma urged South Africans to make 2012 a year of unity and to celebrate the country's political heritage.

"We have an opportunity to showcase our country's remarkable successes, given the historic celebration of the centenary of the ruling party, on January 8 2012.

"Our country proved to the world that it is possible to rise above institutionalised racism, hatred, colonial oppression and apartheid, and build on its ruins a modern democracy which enshrines justice, human rights and dignity

I think he has got it the wrong way round, he should have said we ruined a prosperous country, who held its own during sanctions, we killed the manufacturing industry, go take a drive through your local industrial area, then we destroyed the best railway system in the Southern hemisphere, we f****d up your hospitals, we f****d up your roads, we are over charging you to maintain these with ridiculous taxes on your fuel and have now decided to burden you even further with foreign companies taking the last of what you have got left with their toll gates of which the ANC government will only see 45% of the takings, we closed most of the schools in the rural areas especially farm schools, so we at the ANC can force you to make your kids walk the 30 plus kilometers to the nearest town school. We have also decided that it would be more prestigious to host a Soccer world cup than to build our people homes with the money we spent on the cup and of which we still are in dept for to the different foreign investors, for those of you living in the peace and tranquility of the Karoo, you will get to know us in the very near future when we are going to drill a lot of holes and poison you water supply, but don't worry, we will be creating jobs by having to hire or out source the different companies to deliver drinkable water to your house.
 
I forgot the bit with the over filled jails, because the criminals have more rights than the law abiding tax payer. Taken our guns to make it safer for them to climb through our bed room windows, once they have gained access over my electric fence, poisoned my dog and would like to have their way with my Mrs against her will, then take all the money and jewelry and be off in the dark of the night, it wont help phoning the cops, because they don't have the funds to maintain their one and only vehicle at my local cop shop, if its running it probably on its way to collect the next shift of coppers.
 
READERS COMMENTS FROM MAIL & GUARDIAN:

Oh dear. This is about as meaningful as the late Dear Leader of North Korea and his newly appointed son and heir. I've read the sad speech and it's partly fantasy about SA's achievements, mostly generalised and mostly out of step with what really is, and partly a lot of partisan fluff about his own political party's centenary. Hardly the way to go for a nation's head, but I guess that he just asks some henchman to draft some vapid spin for the occasion. And I guess that he anticipates that a large proportion of ANC voters don't really have daily access to any form of critique of the abysmal performance of this exhausted and incompetent governing party.

Anyway, happy new year one and all, and may we have the guts and resources to make good and find peace in 2012 despite this goon at the helm.     

Mr. President, you cannot distinguish between right and wrong, so how can you say that the country has progressed? Progressed backwards or progressed forwards? How would you know?

"Our country proved to the world that it is
possible to rise above institutionalised racism, hatred, colonial
oppression and apartheid, and build on its ruins a modern democracy
which enshrines justice, human rights and dignity."
Mr President, I hope the above words were sincere and not just thoughtless political utterances. Especially when we remember that your nephew has violated human rights and dignity by leaving thousands Aurora Mine workers with nothing to celebrate this Christmas and new year.     

Are you really talking about South Africa? Our country has racist legislation in another guise, there is a lot of hatred, service delivery in ALL departments (except SARS) is virtually non existent. Look at education, defence, health, welfare, and all the rest. Corruption has grown out of proportion. Without colonialism, SA would have had no infrastructure at all! SA has become the word capitol of murder, drugs, aids, and most attributes in the negative!

It is the only country where laws are made against the minority to protect the majority. I would implore you to open your eyes and see what really is going on!     

I think the only ones who have benefited are government ministers and tenderpreneurs Mr President. Your family has benefited tremendously - one of them at the expense of the unpaid miners working for Aurora.




The Slow Death Of A Black Nation

I picked up an article in the Sowetan Newspaper on the 30th December 2011. For those of you who don't know it is a Black Newspaper printed daily in South Africa.

The follwing was written by a black matric student - probably something a standard 3 or 4 White student would write.

Submitted by Lwazi Nyanakancesh Nongauza for Youthtube: By the Youth, for the Youth. Written the day after her matric exams.

Chaw - chaw cheers quietly - peaceful - surprisingly they passed away, Boom boom like sick ants they die, In shock, anger , disbelief and frustration, We swear, Futsek this metric stupid black curse.
We cry - cry and cry

Why her- why him - why – why???

In despair we mourn

But she was cute, friendly open nice little kid.

Sobbing , we curse , question, curse and questions

why - why - why- why

In anguish , in depression - we blame

Even statistics SA show increase of matric kids suicides

But why?

Damn most of them are black kids.

But why?

Why most of them are black kids?

Why?

Is it because they are denied the luxury benefits Afrikaner students have in examination classrooms?

Is it because exams question papers are not translated into understandable languages?

In democratic 2011 but still like in Apartheid

Black kids are still underprivileged.

In Mzantsi under a black lead government are black kids still inferior creatures.

Indeed in this Mandela rainbow nation skin represents lower class citizen

In our days black race get the last end of the stick

In 2011 democratic but still in apartheid black kids still systematical oppressed

who will immense black kids from this men made hell in south Africa?

Why?

Why most black matriculations failure kill themselves?

Can it be the publication examination results to be one of the reasons?

But why?

Why is passing or failing Matric have to be a Public issue?

For 11 years passing or failing exams has been kids and tier parents business.

Why should the public know any of the Matric student results?

Where did who get person to publicly publish exams results

By the way who benefits from Matric publication business?

Matric students suicides be new to you.

But this belief has been like this for years.

Maybe the right question should be, why nothing is done about this issue?

You and you might not know.

Maybe those who want, can answer have bigger fish to fry.

Meaning

For now, more black Matric students will continue to die.

For now, more poor black parents will mourn.

For now, black kids lead suicides statistics.

For now, more black cloud will continue to hang over our generation.

Chaw - chaw cheers quietly - peaceful - surprisingly they passed away

Boom boom like sick ants they die

In shock, anger , disbelief and frustration

We swear

Futsek this metric stupid black curse

We cry - cry and cry

Why her- why him - why – why???

In despair we mourn

But she was cute, friendly open nice little kid.

Sobbing , we curse , question, curse and questions

why - why - why- why

In anguish , in depression - we blame

Even statistics SA show increase of Matric kids suicides

But why?

Damn most of them are black kids.

But why?

Why most of them are black kids?

Why?

Here is a comment a good FaceBook friend posted on a FaceBook page I contribute to:

Johan PB Prinsloo

"Why is passing or failing Matric have to be a Public issue?" Matric results have always been published in the mainstream media, but now it would need to be stopped, because the black children are committing suicide.

 I don't want to go into this too deeply, but I'm wondering if this is not because of expectations and pressure that kids were never used to before.
 
Black kids now being faced with competitiveness, which is something that never really existed in their culture before. Its something I'll definitely take up with some of the sober thinking blacks I know and get their opinion on.
 
Black kids suddenly have to compete on an equal basis with whites, coloured, Indian & Chinese students and the disgrace of not being able to keep up is too much for them.

 I experienced this while I was at MEDUNSA in the 1980's We had a few white students entering at the university at the time and the black students went on riot to get rid of them, because they outperformed the rest of the students. Once they achieved that they again went on strike to get rid of the Chinese and Indian students for the same reason.

 One has to question whether the competitiveness and pressures of western society, the expectations to perform are not overwhelming. Its too much too soon.

 WE also see it with blacks being put into top earing positions and they become alcoholics, because, suddenly they're earning so much money they don;t know how to handle it, they have to perform and keep up with the rest and meet dead-lines, while in their traditions time is of no concern, tomorrow is another day.
 
Having all this money suddenly they get into drinking and jolling like never before and they end up drinking all-day and even drugs, so much part of SA high society these days.

 The problem with the majority of black people, and I know I'm generalising here, is that they cannot take responsibility for their own shortcomings and mistakes, they always find someone or something else to blame.

 The publishing of the results in public is not the problem, its the inability to cope with what they're suddenly being confronted with thats the problem.

 This may perhaps be compared with what has been happening in SA sport for many years, where young guys enter a sport, the coaches suddenly realise the chap has great potential and they push him to fast. We saw this with young boxers so many times and also in Rugby. Where this young sportsman should have gone places, a year or two later he is gone, burned out and buggared, because he could not cope.

 I've been in tertiary education for many years and I've even been registered as an Evaluator for the Council for Higher Education and served a a High-school's governing body for 15 years and I've seen what they've been doing with these black students.
 
When I started at MEDUNSA in the 1980's we saw how they dropped the standards, just to get the numbers. Since 1994 this has been much, much worse as the standards have now been dropped so low these qualifications are not worth the paper its printed on.

 The late Prof. "Van" Myburgh always said to me that MEDUNSA is the most modern, the best equipped Medical School with the best lectures money could buy, ..... with the worst product being produced at the end.
 
For our foreign / international friends MEDUNSA was a black medical school built by the National Party Government in the 1970's. It still remains a black medical school, but there is very little left of it today.

 Now what happens is that this qualified, yet poorly educated graduate enters the job-market, he gets put in a job based on that qualification, but cannot do the job. He earns the salary and holds the title, he is expected to perform and compete, but he cannot. The end result is that he procrastinates, misses days at work to avoid the wrath of management and starts drinking. He slowly commits career-suicide and eventually ends up on the street a broken individual.

 Now imagine the young black kids suddenly ending up in a school among other rich white, coloured and indian children who are themselves being pushed like hell by their snobbish parents. Parents push their children to perform where they themselves could not, hoping that their kids would make up for their own failure. White children cannot cope, how do the black parents who are not used to and do not give their children any support of any kind expect those kids to perform and cope with it?

 I know I've already spoken too much again, but I just wanted to get this across that they are again finding something to blame rather than to seek the cause and address it.
 
Johan my friend - you never speak too much! Thank you for your post.

What has the Black Man Accomplished?

As Chika says “I want to be a CAPITALIST NIGGER.” He also says it is going to cause a lot of offence to the black race but he does not care! He says black people must wake up from their stupor as he is tired of their whining and victim mentality, tired of listening to the same old complaint – racism.

He also says that the black race has absolutely nothing to offer compared to others in the world. They are consumers and not producers. As the black race has answers to every charge of failure they have incurred themselves: the answer is blaming others for their failures. He goes on to say he believes the black race will descend further into the abyss of the world’s economic pole.

The black race is a slave – pure and simple ……I am frightened and disgusted at the same time, that people who produce nothing and consume everything that others produce. We are always ready to make excuses about the inventions and products our people have perfected in long gone eras, but which have been stolen from us and the ones who stole them have gone on to become very rich. This is nothing but another excuse for our failures.

What has the black man accomplished in business?

“I am sure someone from my group is liable to point out to me that a black man had the idea of the invention of the computer in his brains, of course, it stuck in his brains and couldn’t come out!!!” 

Who really invented the computer? http://www.idsia.ch/~juergen/zuse.html 

There are many success stories of people starting businesses in their garages or even their kitchens with very little or no money and who went on to make millions and even billions financially, but not one of those success stories involves a black man.

Chika talks of using a computer – made by a White man - to write his book - which he bought from a White man, he goes on to say he turns a light on – who invented the light bulb? Why Thomas Edison of course – no one doubts that.

But reading the http://www.blackinventor.com/pages/lewis-latimer.html many black men believe Lewis Latimer, a black man invented the light bulb. In actual fact he did not invent the light bulb – he just devised a way of encasing the filament within a cardboard envelope which prevented the carbon from breaking and thereby provided a much longer life to the bulb and hence made the bulb less expensive and more efficient.

LEWIS LATIMER

Every one knows how black men love their music – the black race spends more money on purchasing musical equipment than any other race.  Who invented radios, stereos, walkmans, and televisions?  – Not a black man, black men do not even own a factory to assemble radios or stereos etc. These items are made by the Japanese, and yet the Japanese have nothing but scorn for the black African. Two of Japans former Prime Ministers publically made the observation that black people were inferior in intelligence, and yet the black race are Japan’s biggest consumers. This is the intelligence of the black man, the black man embraces technology with no understanding of how technology works.

Take the Internet for example – it was founded by White men in their twenties or early thirties who forgot about the good life – the women, the fast cars, expensive suits, partying who rolled up their sleeves and worked hard. What did the black man do? They chose the path of slavery.

All over the world, the story is the same – White twenty–to-thirty something year olds raking in the money and what is the black man doing? Shooting each other in the streets over meaningless causes. Let’s face it the black mans work ethics leave a lot to be desired. They prefer others to establish a company so that they can come in and cry racism when Whites refuse to hire them.

Chika goes on to say that his book is not about separatism. Being a Capitalist Nigger does not involve asking for a separate land area for black people; it does not involve asking all Caucasians to get out of Africa; it is not about taking up arms to slaughter innocent White people.

On your last sentance Chika - you have NO idea of what you are saying. Thousands of White farmes have been mercilessly murdered, White women and White children raped and tortured. The black men and women in South Africa are all out to get the Whites!
