If you want to learn more about the South African border war, you should read “ANC’s MK a mere pinprick compared to SWAPO & SADF did win. Expert summary of 23 year border war” at https://sa-news.com/ancs-mk-a-mere-pinprick-compared-to-swapo-sadf-did-win-expert-summary-of-23-year-border-war/. Below are a few excerpts.
Far more formidable was a guerrilla movement against South African rule in Southwest Africa (SWA), later independent Namibia, beginning in the late 1960s, by the South West African People’s Organization (SWAPO). The latter would also have remained insignificant had not Portuguese colonial rule collapsed in Angola, directly north of SWA, in 1974-1975. This left a military vacuum from which SWAPO forces could train, equip, and debouch into northern SWA without any hindrance. Interestingly, nothing similar developed on the other side of Africa. Mozambique, where Portuguese rule had also evaporated, had close economic ties with South Africa and was not willing to see those vanish for the sake of anti-apartheid military campaigns. Furthermore, South African special operations forces, both covert and clandestine to varying degrees, severely crippled the MK’s ability to build up and sustain forces capable of attacking South Africa from all of the black African states which bordered South Africa.
To make things far worse for South Africa, and potentially the West in general, the Soviet Union committed huge amounts of military hardware, and military advisers/trainers for FAPLA (the acronym for the Angolan army). Cuba made an even more massive military investment. It ultimately dispatched an expeditionary force to Angola which reached a maximum strength of about 55,000, with a total of almost 380,000 Cuban military personnel serving in the country from 1975 through 1991. If SWAPO took over, or destabilized SWA, whether or not Angolan or Cuban troops moved into SWA, the front line would shift south several hundred miles to the border with South Africa proper.

The assassin wanted to provide Robert “Bobby” Kennedy an affidavit earlier the year. See below
“U.S. Connection of Verwoerd’s Assassin” - https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v24/d625 states;
Memorandum From Edward Hamilton of the National Security Council Staff to the President’s Special Assistant (Rostow)
Washington, September 6, 1966.
Verwoerd was killed by Demetrios Tsafendakis, a Portuguese national who was deported from the United States to Greece in 1947. We know nothing yet about his time here except that he was a foreign seaman employed by the Merchant Marine in World War II. His whereabouts between 1947 and 1965 are also vague. He appeared at our consulate in Capetown last November to file a claim for $100,000 in damages resulting from his being deported to Greece, rather than to South Africa (which, he maintained, was his home country). He said that he had made earlier attempts to file his claim at American consulates in France, Switzerland, and Portugal.
Our consul in Capetown informed Tsafendakis that such claims could be filed only through his country’s embassy in Washington or in U.S. Federal Court. He seemed to accept this quietly. He reappeared at the consulate in May, however, and asked that his affidavit be given to Senator Robert Kennedy when the latter arrived in early June. The consulate immediately returned the affidavit with a letter pointing out that Kennedy’s visit was to be very short and busy, and suggesting that Tsafendakis write to him in Washington. (A five-hour search of the Kennedy files this afternoon has yielded no such letter.) This was the last known U.S. contact with the assassin.
We must now decide whether and when to tell the South Africans what little we know about Tsafendakis. Rountree wants to tell them and has asked for instructions. State plans to tell him to go ahead, but will do nothing without White House clearance.
I think we should clear the instruction. In doing so, we run a risk of nasty insinuations by the SAG; but the risks involved in not disclosing information which is certain to be discovered soon seem to me much greater.
Clear message
Instruct Rountree not to inform SAG
https://www.radiofreesouthafrica.com/dr-hf-verwoerds-murder-haunting-naspers/ republished the report, “THE ASSASSINATION OF DR. H.F. VERWOERD: British-American Scheming and The Founders of the New South Africa By Jaap Marais 1994”. Below are a few excerpts however I recommend that you read it in full.
It was plain that in these circumstances South Africa was poised to become the dominating and unifying force in Southern Africa against the British-American-supported terrorist onslaught on the Portuguese territories of Mozambique and Angola and on Rhodesia and South West Africa.
It is well to recall that, for instance, the Frelimo terrorists received substantial financial support from the Ford Foundation of the USA, acting most likely as a front for the CIA and the State Department and that the ANC, while banned in South Africa, had its head office in London; and almost every Communist who left South Africa for safer ground, did not go to the Kremlin, but to London. And unquestionably, the Anti- Apartheid Movement (more correctly: the Anti-Afrikaner Movement) in Britain was a British Secret Service operation against South Africa – not forgetting that the US and Britain in an act of war already in 1961 instituted an arms boycott against South Africa; and that the USA was behind Liberia and Ethiopia’s application to the International Court in 1961 to break South West Africa’s ties with South Africa. >>11591615
A D Wassenaar of SANLAM (insurance), Jan Marais of Trust Bank, and Anton Rupert of Rembrandt (liquor) – all three having had strong British and American connections. Wassenaar was married to the daughter of a former Lord Mayor of London, and he was a founder member of the Council of Foreign Relations front organisation, the United States-South Africa Leader Exchange Programme (USSALEP). Jan Marais boasted that his bank was run on American lines and that he was constantly visiting the USA.
Rupert was not only a founder member of USSALEP, but the key figure in its founding. He was financed by the Rothschild group in getting his tobacco concern on a sound basis and in acquiring tobacco interests such as Rothmans in Britain. Although strongly anti-British during World War II, he soon loosened his ties with the Afrikaner nationalists and became an exponent of a Pax Americana, hosting Bobby Kennedy on his visit to South Africa in 1961 and in various ways demonstrating his identification with British-American objectives. >>11765039
These Afrikaans-speaking businessmen, in their movement away from their Afrikaner nationalist compatriots, inevitably moved closer to the internationalist Anglo-American financial interests, represented by Harry Oppenheimer’s Anglo- American Corp., which constituted the core of hostility to Afrikaner nationalism, and which was the successor to the financial interests that forced Britain in the war against the Boer republics in 1899-1902. (See J A Hobson: The War in South Africa, James Nisbetl, London, 1900)
They had been so sure of getting a verdict against South Africa on the South West Africa issue that three days before the announcement of the Court’s verdict on the 18th July, 1966, the American Ambassador to South Africa delivered an aide memoire to Dr Verwoerd’s government that the USA would accept the Court verdict and expected the contending parties to abide by it.
The implication of this was that if Dr Verwoerd had refused to abide by an adverse verdict it would have constituted cause for military intervention by the USA in the guise of the United Nations Organisation, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in anticipation of a court verdict against South Africa having the year before provided what the Chicago Tribune had called a “battle blueprint” entitled “Apartheid and United Nations Collective Measures” by Amelia Leiss for military operations against South Africa. The Carnegie Endowment has been documented “as a powerful policy- making force inside the State Department” (Freeman Digest, June, 1984).
When this failed in July 1966, there was only one option left – put an end to Dr Verwoerd’s life. Cillie – Rupert and “Verwoerd must go” plan.
(Significantly, the first terrorist attack by Swapo took place within three weeks after the assassination of Dr Verwoerd, as if they were waiting for the event). >>11628311, >>11642109, >>11669287, >>11713692
Oppenheimer further said that Mandela had sought his approval of two Cabinet appointments -probably those of Derek Keys and Pik Botha, the former having come from one of the companies closely associated with Oppenheimer and the latter being a Freemason who is a holder of The Order of Malta (in the company of Dr Piet Koornhof, former Cabinet Minister and ambassador). Both departments – Finance and Mineral and Energy Affairs – are close to the heart of the money powers in South Africa and it is most likely that Oppenheimer would have sought to have “his men” appointed.

I found the attached interesting document, “National Treasury and the Project Spider Web” at http://cdn.bdlive.co.za/images/pdf/National%20Treasury%20and%20Project%20Spider%20Web.pdf, through this article, “Delusional Operation SpiderWeb – King Trevor and Queen Maria? What next – ET for President?”, at https://www.biznews.com/leadership/2015/08/22/treasury-manuel-ramos-apartheid-agents-report-baseless-attempts-to-undermine-institution. Below is an excerpt.
It’s like a scene out of a movie. The project – Spider Web – and the characters ‘King’ and ‘Queen’ of Leaves, better known as Trevor Manuel and Maria Ramos. The Rupert, Oppenheimer and Rothschild families apparently bankrolled the whole thing. The lead character – the ‘Emperor’ – the deputy director-general Andrew Donaldson, a strategic planner for apartheid intelligence. All because the apartheid government felt it was too risky to to leave everything in the hands of the ANC so sought to retain control of the Treasury. Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene says it’s merely an attempt to undermine the institution but they will investigate. Treasury’s statement follows the article from News24.
At https://www.weforum.org/agenda/authors/maria-ramos at states;
Maria Ramos is Chief Executive Officer of Absa Group, a diversified financial services group with a presence in 12 African markets.
Before joining Absa Group (previously Barclays Africa Group Ltd) as Group Chief Executive in March 2009, she was the Group Chief Executive of Transnet Ltd, the state-owned freight transport and logistics service provider for five years. This was after successfully serving as Director-General of the National Treasury for seven years.
An accomplished academic, who has taught at various institutions, Ms Ramos obtained an Institute of Bankers’ Diploma (CAIB) in 1983. She followed this with a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in 1986, a Bachelor of Commerce Honours in Economics (also from Wits) in 1987 and a Master of Science (Economics) from the University of London in 1992.
She is also a recipient of honorary doctorates from the Stellenbosch and Free State universities.
Ms Ramos led Transnet through a massive financial, cultural and operational turnaround. During her tenure as Director-General of the National Treasury (formerly the Department of Finance), she played a key role in transforming the Treasury into one of the most effective and efficient state departments in the post-apartheid administration.
She has successively been ranked in Fortune magazine’s annual survey of the 50 most powerful women in business for a number of years running.
Her contribution has been recognized through numerous awards. She was named CNBC Africa Woman Leader of the Year (2011), and was awarded the Wits Business School’s Management Excellence Award (2010). She was named the Sunday Times Business Times Business Leader of the Year in 2005 and Businesswoman of the Year by the SA Businesswomen’s Association in 2001.
She has in the past served as a non-executive and independent director on the boards of Sanlam Ltd, Remgro Ltd and SABMiller PLC, and currently serves on the Board of Richemont SA.
She currently serves on the Executive Committee of the World Economic Forum’s International Business Council, the Board of Business Unity South Africa and the Global Board of Advisers, Council on Foreign Relations (U.S.). She is also a member of the Group of Thirty.

“Lobola is not African, see Why people started using Surnames” - https://youtu.be/kev6G0AKfKY
This is phenomenal speech concerning the history of South Africa and the progression of civilization. Professor Joe Diescho raises valid points.
To learn more about lobola, go to https://joziwire.co.za/2019/10/what-is-lobola-does-it-mean-marriage-is-it-still-practiced/. Below are a few excerpts.
Lobola is still a common practice in South Africa and other African countries such as Botswana, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and Lesotho where the transfer of cattle from the relatives of the bridegroom to the relatives of the bride serves to legitimize the marriage.
Unfortunately, this form of bride price has exposed many women to abuse since they are viewed as property of the groom.
In addition, it is unfortunate that lobola has been linked to spread of sexually transmitted infections such as HIV and Aids. This is because, under the customary law, a man is allowed to marry up to four wives who are seen as concurrent multi-partners hence the spread of the diseases.
(Yet President Jacob Zuma had 6 wives.)
“Just how many wives does Jacob Zuma have, and who are they?” at https://www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/south-africans-abroad/how-many-wives-does-jacob-zuma-have/ provides facts about our former president, Jacob Zuma, for those who are not aware. Below are a few excerpts.
The President of a civilised country has six spouses. Imagine the same happening in Australia, or the UK, or even America. Actually, not America right now.
The number of Jacob Zuma’s wives still with him stands at four. Dlamini-Zuma divorced him back in 1998. His relationship with Kate Matsho however, was unspeakably sad.
She took her own life in December 2000, leaving a note to Reverend Frank Chikane that summarised her desperate situation:
“Strictly my dear children, my maternal family to attend. From the Zumas only Bro Mike and all the Mzobe family. Our marriage has been 24 years of hell”.
It’s estimated he has between 20-22 children in total. Fifteen with his spouses, and between 5-7 with other lovers. You dirty dog, Mr Zuma.
Only one (un)lucky lady has never took the plunge with the president. Swazi princess Sebentile Dlamini – Granddaughter of King Sobhuza III – is merely engaged to him.
In 2002, Zuma paid 10 cows as part of lobola for Sebentile Dlamini, a Swazi princess and granddaughter of King Sobhuza III. However, JZ may have got cold feet on this one. He never went through with a ceremony. Perhaps Jacob Zuma’s wives – all six of them – had something to say about that?

The author quotes a Black academic, Rabelani Dagada at the Wits School of Business:
“After 20 years of democracy, the education levels have plunged.” Of Black and Coloured students enlarging the classes at university level, only 5% finish. Of the 1.1 million Black children who were born in 1994 and later entered first grade, fewer than half made it to the final graduation exam. Of the moronic passing levels, the editor of South Africa’s Financial Mail magazine, Barney Mthombothi, writes:
“As long as the pass mark is 30% [for Blacks only, Whites require 51%] … we’re fooling nobody but ourselves.”
Ramaphosa could face coup if Zuma is arrested for Zondo inquiry walkout, warns MKMVA's Maphatsoe

The ANC’s military veterans have warned that a coup d’état could result should former president Jacob Zuma be arrested for leaving the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture.
Leader of the Zuma-aligned Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association, Kebby Maphatsoe, told News24 on Tuesday: “We are not saying Zuma is special or is above the law, no, but we are saying you are dealing with a person that, he was a former president, but also he was a former commander-in-chief [of the SA National Defence Force] and [he is] a patron-in-chief of the MKMVA, so obviously I know their position that, they are not going to be happy.”
He said those who loved Zuma might react emotionally and hinted that this could result in his supporters overthrowing President Cyril Ramaphosa.
“In other countries, it happened that there were coups,” he said.
“This happened in many countries in Africa. These things, if you don’t treat them carefully, and if you have not learnt from what happened in other countries – we can’t go to that situation in South Africa,” he said.
“We are honestly advising as people with experience of security risks,” said Maphatsoe, who was deputy defence minister from 2014 until last year. “South Africans, when they rise up, it becomes difficult to control, with the unemployment rate high as it is.”
“Once people get into this mood, it will spread [to] the whole country.”
In a part of the statement that was retracted, but not removed from final versions, the MKMVA says Zondo “was placed under severe pressure by several foreign funded NGOs, and other reactionary forces that advise him” to press charges against Zuma.
Maphatsoe was forced to apologise in 2014 when he called former public protector Thuli Madonsela a CIA agent – and someone who worked with foreign intelligence to destabilize South Africa – without being able to prove it, and without backing by the ANC.
This was in response to her sending a letter to Zuma, asking when he would respond to recommendation in her report about his Nkandla home. Her office did, however, receive training funding from the developmental and foreign aid arm of the United States government, USAID, for training, along with with other Chapter 9 institutions.
The ANC has recently raised concerns about what it considers to be the politicisationn of some members of the SANDF, after a group met with retired defence intelligence chief Lieutenant General Maomela “Mojo” Motau, himself a former Umkhonto we Sizwe commander.
(Keep in mind, MK soldiers were integrated into the SANDF when the ANC took over.)

“How Socialism Destroyed Africa”- https://youtu.be/gRXjD7RXTPk
Will the world ever learn from history? I encourage you to read it in full.
Below are excerpts retrieved from https://www.africanliberty.org/2019/03/14/how-socialism-destroyed-africa/.
Equating capitalism with colonialism, Africa’s nationalist leaders rejected it and adopted socialism in the 1960s. Foreign companies were nationalized, a string of state-owned enterprises was established and a plethora of state controls on rent, prices, imports, and foreign exchange were imposed to capture the commanding heights of the economy. But nowhere in Africa was the socialist experiment successful.
It was a miserable fiasco in country after country including Angola (under dos Santos), Benin (under Kerekou), Ethiopia (under Mengistu), Ghana (under Nkrumah), Guinea (under Toure), Mali (under Keita), Mozambique (under Chissano), Tanzania (under Nyerere), and Zambia, among others.
In 1961, workers on Ghana state farms barely produce enough to feed themselves let alone the nation. In Tanzania, Ujamaa destroyed the country’s agriculture. Ethiopia’s misguided villagization program did the same.
Zimbabwe socialist experiment ended in disaster, transforming the country which used to be called the breadbasket of the region into a net food importer, with millions facing starvation. Over 4 million fled the country into neighboring countries such as Botswana, South Africa, and Mozambique. Tragically, South Africa is gearing up to repeat these catastrophic mistakes.
One must always make a distinction between African leaders and the African people. The two are not synonymous. The leaders have been the problem, not the people.
Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, on the other hand, misread the communalism of African traditional society as readiness for socialism, which he was first exposed to during his schooling in Scotland.
Under Sekou Toure of Guinea’s program of “Marxism in African Clothes,”
“Unauthorized trading became a crime. Police roadblocks were set up around the country to control internal trade. The state set up a monopoly on foreign trade and smuggling became punishable by death. Currency trafficking was punishable by 15 to 20 years in prison. Many farms were collectivized.
Food prices were fixed at low levels. Private farmers were forced to deliver annual harvest quotas to `Local Revolutionary Powers.’ State Companies monopolized industrial production” (The New York Times, Dec 28, 1987; p.28).
In Francophone Africa, industries were nationalized, tariff barriers erected and the state assumed near-total control of the national economy (Africa Analysis, Oct 2000). Rather interestingly, the World Bank, US AID, the State Department and even development experts from Harvard University supported these policies and channeled much aid resources to African governments (Bandow, 1986).
Problems emerged soon after independence. State controls created artificial shortages and black markets. State-owned enterprises could not deliver, achieving very low rates of capacity utilization. Most of them were inefficiently run and unprofitable. At the time of the coup in Ghana in 1966, which overthrew Nkrumah, only 3 or 4 of the 64 state enterprises were paying their way (Garlick 1971; p.141).
Strange as it might sound, the ruling elites in South Africa are poised to repeat the catastrophic mistakes we made in sub-Saharan Africa. Some senior members of the ruling ANC seek a constitutional amendment to seize white-owned land without compensation and a breakaway faction, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) seek to nationalize the central bank and all new discoveries of oil and gas – all this in the teeth of the disastrous socialist experiment right next door in Zimbabwe.
Albert Einstein once defined insanity as doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. Lunacy may be defined as doing the same stupid thing again and again and expecting the same stupid results.

Below are a few excerpts of “Ouroboros Steak grow-your-own human meat kit is "technically" not cannibalism” at https://www.dezeen.com/2020/11/13/ouroboros-steak-meal-kit-andrew-pelling-grace-knight-orkan-telhan/.
A group of American scientists and designers have developed a concept for a grow-your-own steak kit using human cells and blood to question the ethics of the cultured meat industry.
Ouroboros Steak could be grown by the diner at home using their own cells, which are harvested from the inside of their cheek and fed serum derived from expired, donated blood.
Despite the lab-grown meat industry claiming to offer a more sustainable, cruelty-free alternative to factory farming, the process still relies on fetal bovine serum (FBS) as a protein-rich growth supplement for animal cell cultures.
"Fetal bovine serum costs significant amounts of money and the lives of animals," said scientist Andrew Pelling, who developed the Ouroboros Steak with industrial designer Grace Knight and artist and researcher Orkan Telhan.
Ouroboros Steak, named after the ancient symbol of the snake eating its own tail, cuts out the need for other animals by drawing exclusively on human blood and cells.
The version on display at London's Design Museum was made using human cell cultures, which can be purchased for research and development purposes from the American Tissue Culture Collection (ATCC). They were fed with human serum derived from expired blood donations that would otherwise have been discarded or incinerated.
As part of the DIY kit, the team envisions users collecting cells from the inside of their own cheek using a cotton swab and depositing them onto pre-grown scaffolds made from mushroom mycelium.
For around three months, these are stored in a warm environment such as a low-temperature oven and fed with human serum until the steak is fully grown.
"Expired human blood is a waste material in the medical system and is cheaper and more sustainable than FBS, but culturally less-accepted. People think that eating oneself is cannibalism, which technically this is not," said Knight.

Below are a few excerpts of“The Philosophy Of The 'Useless Eaters'”at https://rense.com/general78/philo.htm written years ago. This sums it up well.
It is for normal people sometimes difficult to understand the wrongs in society. We see politicians messing up. We see uncontrollable illegal immigration into our countries. We see wars happening. We see genocides in Africa, Yugoslavia and South East Asia while the world debates how many deaths constitute genocide and does nothing to stop it.
We see idiotic policies created such as the Montréal and Kyoto Protocols and we do not understand. We see Westernized, sovereign and Christian nations such as Rhodesia, Namibia and South Africa handed over to Communist terrorist through the scheming of Western Nations on the one hand and the backing by Communists on the other….and we do not understand. We ask ourselves, "Has the world gone mad?"
The answer is no. We just do not understand the philosophy of those controlling the world. Now I am no conspiracy theorist, just a keen observer and a student of history; sometimes a philosopher.
The Philosophy of world leaders
There is a philosophy amongst world string pullers that the average man will find just too horrible to comprehend, yet it exists and it shapes our modern world. There is no official version of this philosophy and I don't think it is taught anywhere at universities. Students seem to arrive at it through a natural path. Hegelianism it is not, neither is it pure Utilitarianism. The Nazi's called it "Life unworthy of life". Let me simply call it "The Philosophy of the Useless Eaters".
To these string pullers, nature must take its course. Human life has very little value. Soldiers who die in war died, because they were too stupid to stay alive. Genocide is a major bonus to them; culling of mass amounts of "useless eaters" who were too stupid to escape and therefore deserved to be killed. Old people on farms in South Africa being violently killed and tortured to death deserved it, because they should have taken steps to safeguard themselves. If they get killed it is because of their own stupidity. In this world there is only space for the strongest and cleverest genes. The useless eaters have to die. That is why they did nothing to stop the six million Jews being killed in WW2. That is why the world did nothing to stop Pol Pot in Cambodia or the genocide in Rwanda. They were all just "useless eaters".
Cecil John Rhodes was a great visionary for their cause. He was an arch racist who wanted to rid Africa of all the "useless eaters" and then claim its riches for Great Britain. This man has more than fifty biographies written about him, two countries were named after him as well as a university in South Africa. Beneficiaries of his Scholarship trust were amongst others, Bill Clinton, writer Alain Locke, singer/actor, Kris Kristofferson, diplomat Strobe Talbott (Yugoslavia peace negotiator 1999) and many others. This scholarship allows them to study for two years at Oxford University. A great monument was erected to Rhodes at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town. So why did he not succeed?
Eventually these Afrikaners rose to power and ruled South Africa. At first the Rhodes disciples thought that the Afrikaners would finish the job and exterminate the "useless eaters" in Africa as it happened in Australia, America, etc, but no. These Afrikaners were good Christian folk who built schools and universities for the useless eaters. They built houses, hospitals and employed the useless eaters. Under Afrikaners the useless eater population of South Africa increased four fold and the white countries of Rhodesia, South Africa and Namibia were feeding the rest of Africa. This was obviously a disaster for the "useless eater" proponents. Therefore the Afrikaners had to go.
In South Africa it is very important that we understand this philosophy in order for us to understand why the world sits with folded arms and watch Zimbabwe collapse and whites systematically slaughtered in South Africa.
Wonder no more why the world does nothing to stop Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Wonder no more why a statue of a terrorist such as Mandela is erected in London. Wonder no more why the world does not condemn Mbeki's AIDS policy or the crime in South Africa.
“A video has surfaced showing a crowd of foreign nationals stuck at the Beitbridge Border” - https://youtu.be/z_EmHkN48NM
“Watch: Hundreds of Zimbabweans flood into SA amid Beitbridge chaos”at https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/watch-zimbabweans-entering-south-africa-beitbridge-border-video/ states;
One of South Africa’s busiest border posts has been overwhelmed by the amount of Zimbabwean citizens crossing over through Beitbridge, and into Limpopo. The influx of citizens from our neighbouring nation has caused havoc on Tuesday, as hundreds of immigrants are still waiting to be processed by the authorities.
A perfect storm of lockdown restrictions on either side of the border has prompted scores of Zim nationals to escape. On Monday night, the Mnangagwa Administration confirmed that all international travel would be banned in the country.
Meanwhile, the curfew in South Africa begins at 21:00 and ends at 6:00 – many of those who chose to flee were kept waiting at Beitbridge overnight. That nine-hour delay has caused a very serious backlog, and videos from the scene taken earlier this morning show large crowds huddled together in small spaces… which is hardly ideal during a pandemic.
Upsurge in the rate of Cash-in-Transit incidents - Gauteng
“Cash in Transit Robbery.Pretoria South Africa” - https://youtu.be/G-xRPKwCxDE
Below are few excerpts from https://www.saps.gov.za/newsroom/msspeechdetail.php?nid=30135.
Comparing the rate of occurrence of incidents this year to last year's rate, Lieutenant General Mawela confirmed that there is a worrying spike in the rate and frequency of incidents of cash-in-transit robberies in Gauteng and that urgent intervention and attention is required from all stakeholders. He further identified related operational risk factors and deficiencies which have seen Fidelity and G4S being hit the hardest.
“In addressing CIT robberies, we need to take cognisance of the fact that various secondary crimes emanate from these robberies and this ultimately has a bearing on the total crime picture of the Province. One CIT robbery may at the end of the day result in additional crimes being recorded such as: malicious damage to property (MITP) relating to the armoured vehicle; attempted murder and murder where in some instances security guards, police members and/or suspects have been shot and injured or killed; robbery of the money, hijacking for suspects’ getaway, and other crimes,” said General Mawela reiterating the gravity of CIT’s.
Farm murder update.
“33 Farm attacks and 10 farm murders in South Africa – December 2020”- https://southafricatoday.net/south-africa-news/33-farm-attacks-and-10-farm-murders-in-south-africa-december-2020/
Farmers continue to be brutalised, assaulted, shot, stabbed and hacked to death across South Africa. Another ten farmers were brutally murdered during the month of December 2020. Thirty three farm attacks took place and only two of these were successfully averted. In total seventy six farmers have lost their lives during 434 attacks in 2020. Clearly these are racially motivated hate crimes as in most cases not very much was robbed or stolen.
Black leaders who regularly call for the killing of farmers need to be made accountable and the mainstream media needs to start publishing the truth of what the reality in South Africa actually is and stop fuelling the communist racial hatred agenda of their partners, the ANC government.

6 Fetuses Dumped in Durban

“WATCH | Send in the troops: Cele confirms SANDF will help police patrol Garden Route beaches”- https://youtu.be/zhgUfh9hvPg
“Cele slammed for playing ‘cops and surfers’ on beach amid high crime rate” at https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/cele-arrest-surfers-beach-high-crime-rate/. Below are a few excerpts.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) Shadow Minister of Police Andrew Whitfield and Western Cape Minister of Community Safety Albert Fritz have blasted Police Minister Bheki Cele for his “skewed priorities”. The pair believe that Cele is too focused on beaches and citizens on the promenade rather than crimes such as rape, gender-based violence, murder, farm attacks and gang warfare.
On Wednesday morning, Police Ministry spokesperson Lirandzu Themba said Cele told Mandy Wiener on Radio 702 that SANDF officers were on their way to the Southern Cape of the WC to assist in enforcing COVID-19 adjusted Level 3 Lockdown regulations. She added that they would also be deployed in the Cape Town area.
Whitfield said the DA condemns the announcement that the SANDF would be roped in to assist SAPS with patrolling beaches in the Garden Route.
“Just yesterday, a vigilante mob attacked and beheaded two suspected gang members in Durban, while last Tuesday 11-year-old Kgothatso Tshabalala was stabbed to death in Mamelodi, allegedly by a man angry at her mother,” said Whitfield.
“It is under circumstances such as this that Minister Cele chooses to prioritise the chasing down of surfers on the beach and the confrontation of sunbathers and joggers on promenades. The DA has for years requested the deployment of the SANDF in gang-ridden areas of the Cape Flats, but these requests have always fallen on deaf ears. This is indicative of Minister Cele’s skewed priorities,” he added.
Cele, who has been conducting spot checks in the Western Cape coastal areas, has been accused of being on a “power trip” and demonstrating a “single-minded obsession with beaches”.
“The Western Cape Government believes that the rule of law in South Africa must always be upheld, and the regulations must be enforced even if we disagree with them. However, it is increasingly clear from his ‘media tour’ in the Western Cape that the National Minister is significantly more passionate about arresting surfers than arresting gang leaders in the Cape Flats and other communities across South Africa,” said Fritz.
“Of course, all regulations need to be enforced until otherwise struck down by a court of law, but it would do the National Minster well to broaden his focus from beaches and also zone in on the violent crime that many of our communities currently experience. I will be raising my concerns with the National Minister directly,” added Fritz.
“eThekwini auction that excludes Indians, coloureds and whites legal, says CFO”- https://www.iol.co.za/thepost/news/ethekwini-auction-that-excludes-indians-coloureds-and-whites-legal-says-cfo-970f92cc-98d9-495c-ae9b-eafb9895d605. Below are few excerpts.
Durban - Indian, coloured and white South Africans will not be allowed to bid for vehicles at an auction that eThekwini will hold in March next year. On sale will be vehicles that the city impounded.
City bosses believe there is nothing wrong in excluding minority communities. They say they are not breaking any of their internal rules and regulations.
Krish Kumar, the chief financial officer at eThekwini, said: “We (the city) made it clear to exco. The head of SCM (supply chain management) made it very clear that we will be following clearly the actual principles outlined in the PFA and the BEE code.
"So, whoever is classified, including females and the disadvantaged, we will ensure that they are party to the auction."
He said in the past, cartels emerged and used their resources to preclude individuals from participating.
Kumar said the city would follow its SCM and BEE policies for the auction in line with the law.
Mdu Nkosi, an IFP member and eThekwini council member, said he agreed with the city's decision. He said people with "bigger muscle" needed to be monitored so as to ensure they did not buy everything.
"They would have to be limited, and only a certain percentage of items should be sold to them.”
Thabani Mthethwa, the DA eThekwini caucus chief whip, said: “Last year, there was a similar auction that took place and it was embarrassing for everyone because only a certain criteria of people were allowed to participate."
"Knowing what happened last year, I raised the issue of these race-based auctions and asked that we not have a repeat of last year's mess up. We (the DA) pleaded with the council to assure us that the public car auction would be open to all races and that everyone would be given an equal opportunity to participate.
"However, the ANC was happy to reject this specific commitment and opted to proceed with the auction on the basis of it complying with Black Economic Empowerment and the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA). Unfortunately, our plea for an equal opportunity for all was rejected by the ANC majority.”
Morne Mostert, the head of local government affairs at AfriForum, said: “The DA is correct that race should not be part of the criteria and the ANC’s policy is evident that it's focused on a certain race.
“One would expect that with municipalities being the lowest form of local government, and being the closest to the ground, it would be focused on rendering services to all residents. What has happened here is the municipality has been used by parties, especially the ANC, as tools for politicians to gain an advantage and to get their aims met. It's a tragic misuse of power.”

“Gates Foundation to Invest $5 Billion in Africa Over Five Years”dated July 19, 2016, at http://philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/gates-foundation-to-invest-5-billion-in-africa-over-five-years states;
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation co-chair Bill Gates has announced that the foundation will invest $5 billion over the next five years in support of health and anti-poverty initiatives in Africa.
Announced by Gates during the annual Nelson Mandela Lecture at the University of Pretoria on Sunday, the commitment significantly boosts the foundation's funding for initiatives on the continent, which has totaled $9 billion over the last fifteen years. In his remarks, Gates noted the progress African countries have made in reducing child mortality, eradicating polio, and fighting malaria and the HIV/AIDS epidemic and pointed to expanded access to contraceptives [like distributing strawberry scented condoms during COVID as show in the video at >>12498147 ], the creation of new vaccines that protect children from pneumonia and severe diarrhea, and investments in strong, community-based primary healthcare systems in Malawi, Ethiopia, and Rwanda as additional signs of progress.
Gates warned, however, that the rate of new HIV infections on the continent remains high, especially among youth in sub-Saharan Africa, while millions remain undiagnosed and/or untreated. "If we fail to act, all the hard-earned gains made in HIV in sub-Saharan Africa over the last fifteen years could be reversed," he said, "particularly given that Africa's young people are entering the age when they are most at risk of HIV."
According to the Nelson Mandela Foundation, two-thirds of the $5 billion would support health initiatives, with the remainder earmarked for efforts to improve agriculture, digital financial inclusion, and sanitation.
"We continue to spend the majority of our money on health-related issues, so [on] tuberculosis, HIV, diarrhea, pneumonia — all the things that affect kids under the age of five," Gates said at a press conference after the lecture. "Malnutrition is a huge area of increased investment for us, and how people run healthcare facilities."
“55 People Died in US After Receiving COVID-19 Vaccines: Reporting System”at https://www.theepochtimes.com/55-people-died-in-us-after-receiving-covid-19-vaccines-reporting-system_3659152.html states;
Fifty-five people in the United States have died after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, according to reports submitted to a federal system.
Deaths have occurred among people receiving both the Moderna and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, according to the reports.
The reporting system, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), is a federal database. The system is passive, meaning reports aren’t automatically collected and must be filed. VAERS reports can be filed by anyone, including health care providers, patients, or family members.
VAERS reports “often lack details and sometimes can have information that contains errors,” according to the reporting system’s website. Still, reports on VAERS represent “only a small fraction of actual adverse events,” the site states, though underreporting is believed to be less common for serious events.
In some cases, patients died within days of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

“BEE totally destroys a prime grape farm in 10 years – De Doorns”at https://southafricatoday.net/south-africa-news/western-cape/bee-totally-destroys-a-prime-grape-farm-in-10-years-de-doorns/ states;
What was this farmer thinking? Did he believe that communism can work ? A prime grape farm that once produced 30 000- 40 000 boxes of export grapes now lies in total ruins after the owner, Pieter Naude of the Denau Farm in De Doorns, gave the prime grape farm Alpha away to 250 of his workers in 2010.
Alpha was then registered as a worker’s trust. Mr Naude also trained 2 managers for the farm. For the first 5 years Mr Naude’s business also did Alpha farm’s books. The Western Cape provincial government carried the entire running costs of Alpha farm for the first 2 years . That is R 2 million that they got for free.
The managers of the workers trust – which of course comes down to a communist collective farm – started to pay out too much dividends to themselves because they wanted cash as soon as possible.
Today the workers trust owes Absa bank R 800 000 and Alpha will be sold on the internet to pay Absa. The farm is today totally stripped and ruined. The orchards were not sprayed this year and that will lead to permanent damage to the orchards. That is now the orchards that were not carried away by residents of a squatter camp as firewood. The squatter camp has popped up right next to Alpha farm.
The squatters have also removed the fence that was once around Alpha farm.
Naude now wants to buy back Alpha farm to prevent the squatters invading the farm and destroy what is left.
Mr Naude, you believed liberal lies that prosperity will bloom if you give away your property for free. Next time keep in mind that communism doesn’t work. Die Rooi Gevaar is real.
“R235 mill blown: SANDF imports unregistered medicine, lets it rot because of open fridge door”at https://southafricatoday.net/south-africa-news/r235-mill-blown-sandf-imports-unregistered-medicine-lets-it-rot-because-of-open-fridge-door/ states;
It has long been said the ANC can’t run a modern country because they can’t understand the complexities of modern society. #TheAfricanWay of loot, consume and then stand with a begging bowl is more their thing. The SANDF just destroyed 40% of an unregistered medicine that they imported from Cuba because somebody left the door of the fridge open for more than a day, so the medicine went bad! The value of the unregistered and now damaged medicine is R 235 million. Yes really.
You might ask why is the SANDF importing medicine? Medicine that is not approved for use in South Africa? This ridiculous situation came about after 2 ANC cadres, Mzwandile Masina and the Gauteng MEC for Health Dr Bandile Masuku, announced last year that the Cuban medicine Interferon alfa – 2B is a wonder cure against Covid-19 and must be imported on an urgent basis.
The import of the medicine was financed through the SANDF’s operational budget for the campaign against Covid-19 called Operation Notlela.
Interferon is not registered for use by the regulating authority for health products called Sahpra. The SANDF did not submit a formal application to Sahpra to approve the use of Interferon.
The Auditor General investigated the expenditure and after sending a team to the base where the medicine was held found that the medicine was damaged because the door of the freezer that it was kept in was standing open for more than a day.
Kobus Marais, DA spokesperson on Defence, has told the media that he did submit Parliamentary questions about the Interferon matter to the Minister of Defence, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nkaqula, but she never replied to the questions. Marais said he also submitted an official complaint to the Military Ombudsman.
Pres Ramaphosa do you have any control whatsoever?
“‘Poor monitoring’ led to Gauteng Education R430m saga – Lesufi”at https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/poor-monitoring-led-to-gauteng-education-r430m-saga-lesufi/ states;
Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi wants answers into the R430 million the department spent on sanitising and disinfecting schools, to curb the spread of COVID-19
Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has said that “poor monitoring” may have contributed to the Education Department spending R430 million to decontaminate, deep clean and sanitise schools, district offices and teacher centres.
In an interview with eNCA, Lesufi said he only found out about the suspected misspending when he was contacted by a journalist.
“I think it happened because we were really under pressure to monitor some of the transactions and also check if things were done correctly, but I must indicate that the journalist that was writing this story contacted me and requested information and also alerted me that the authorities were not cooperating, I immediately asked the HOD to compile a report,” he said.
Lesufi said he himself was taken aback after reading the report, which he handed to the journalist.
The report, compiled by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Head of Department (HOD) found that the department spent about R431, 274, 959, 17.
“The amount was paid to about 280 companies between June and end of August and the extent of the school’s elemental spaces differed from facility to facility. The average school in Gauteng caters for 1,000 learners with a profile of 28 classrooms, administration building and specialist rooms,” read the report.
This was ahead of schools reopening in June 2020, after President Cyril Ramaphosa ordered them to be closed in March, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The disinfection involved 2,207 schools and 38 admin buildings, and the scope before school opening mainly involved deep cleaning, and from August as advised by department of health and the command council the focus was shifted from a whole school to a decreased specified area of contact per case,” the report further said.
The MEC has ALSO said he will be consulting law enforcement agencies on the matter as it needed to be investigated thoroughly.
“The unfortunate part is, we stay far from these matters of procurement but if something goes wrong we are the first ones to be accused of neglecting our responsibilities,” Lesufi said.
Asked how much he thought the Gauteng Education Department should have actually spent, the MEC said he himself did not know.
Bantu Holomisa (UDM) vs Blade Nzimande (SACP)

“Blade sees me as a relic of apartheid yet when he was an IFP member lecturing at the University of Zululand in 1985, he was in the payroll of apartheid regime. Who is fooling who. We will continue to expose the wrong doing whether he likes it or not . CR must against him.”
Bantu wrote the letter to the President, “The Auditor General’s final management report for the DHET and SETAs” - https://ntunews.co.za/2021/01/25/the-auditor-generals-final-management-report-for-the-dhet-and-setas/. Below are a few excerpts.
The Auditor General’s final management report: Minister Blade Nzimande’s political directives resulted in massive irregular expenditure for the DHET and SETAs
3.1. Six appointments were not in line with public service regulations and has ordered that the DHET must ensure that any employee related costs towards those officials are disclosed as irregular expenditure.
Mr President, there is no denying that you were made aware of pending disaster. In our letter of 10 September 2020, we had explained the allegation that some of the appointments, referred to in paragraph 3.1, were directed by Minister Nzimande in favour of some South African Communist Party favourites. We had also reported to you Minister Nzimande’s alleged direct interference in the appointment of the SETAs’ board members and chairpersons on 24 August 2020.
To further illustrate the sad state of affairs, the most recent of Minister Nzimande’s autocratic edicts was made when we had submitted a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) application to the DHET in December 2020. Considering with whom we are dealing, it should not have been a surprise to be unceremoniously “…advised that by the instruction from the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, we are unable to furnish you with the petitioned information” and we were given no reason at all for this refusal as is required by the Act.
Ordinarily initial decisions regarding PAIA applications reside with an information officer, but we found it telling that Minister Nzimande involved himself in this particular PAIA application off the bat. He even did so prematurely and in doing so Minister Nzimande has effectively negated our right to appeal the decision. Why secrete the information we had requested to start off with, if he has nothing to hide?

“Minister Nzimande is not going to stop employing people on the basis of their competence just because they happen to be members of some political parties, including the South African Communist Party. The Department does not look into political affiliation of any appointee. The days of the Suppression of the Communism Act are long gone and the Minister will not allow this relic of the apartheid regime to be used to discriminate against the employment of communists in government. There is nothing wrong in the employment of communists in government.
In relation to the appointment of accounting authorities of entities falling under his department/s, it remains the Minister’s responsibility as assigned by the law, and the Minister has performed his role and responsibility as per legislative and policy prescriptions and to the best of his discretion and judgement to achieve the goals and objectives of my department.”

Steinmetz [Beny Steinmetz, of Beny Steinmetz Group Resources, B.S.G.R.] plunged into Africa’s treacherous political waters. In the nineteen-nineties, he was the largest purchaser of diamonds from Angola; later, he became the biggest private investor in Sierra Leone. Today, Steinmetz is the largest buyer of rough diamonds from De Beers, and one of the major suppliers of Tiffany & Company. And he has diversified his holdings into real estate, minerals, oil and gas, and other fields, with interests in more than twenty countries. A Web site that Steinmetz recently set up describes him as a “visionary” who used a “network of contacts on the African continent” to build “a multi-faced empire.”…When President Condé set out to clean up Guinea’s mining industry, he discovered a generous ally in George Soros. “I was aware of the magnitude of the problem in Guinea,” Soros told me. “I was eager to help.” He enlisted Revenue Watch to provide technical support in revising the mining code. He also suggested that Guinea hire Scott Horton, an attorney at the U.S. law firm D.L.A. Piper; Horton has conducted dozens of corruption investigations around the world…When we spoke in Cap d’Antibes, Steinmetz did not seem worried [by corruption investigations into BSGR's actions]. “We have zero to hide,” he said…For the moment, the iron ore remains locked inside the Simandou Mountains, and the site is still cut off from the rest of Guinea. “Everyone wants Simandou,” Condé told me as we sat in the palace. “It became the obsession, literally, of everybody.” He continued to talk, in his professorial way, but a note of bewilderment crept into his voice. “Looking at the iron ore, the grade is world-class. The quality is world-class. Yet, in so many years, we haven’t been able to benefit from any of these tremendous resources.” President Condé paused. Then he murmured something, almost to himself: “How can we be so rich and yet so poor?” [also refers to Rio Tinto, Vale]
“Cyril crafted and perfected the most evil ANC policy of all.”- https://youtu.be/EjDo3NXfFCA
“Why cadre deployment is a threat to constitutional democracy” at https://www.politicsweb.co.za/opinion/why-cadre-deployment-is-a-threat-to-constitutional. Below are few excerpts.
The ANC’s Cadre deployment strategy—the ANC policy of deploying party members to take control of “key levers of power”— involves a systematic attempt to eliminate the distinction between party and state.
At Mafikeng the ANC noting the need to “deploy cadres to various organs of the state, including the public service and to other centres of power in society” resolved to “put in place a deployment strategy which focuses on the short, medium and long term challenges, identifying key centres of power, [the ANC’s] strategy to transform these centres and the attributes and skills we require from our cadres to do so effectively.”
The ANC also resolved to establish “Deployment Committees” from national to local level which would deploy “comrades to areas of work on behalf of the movement including the public service, parastatals, structures of the movement and the private sector.”
In line with this policy the ANC has established deployment committees at national and provincial levels. It has also appointed its Cadres to “key centres of power” such as the National Prosecuting Authority, the Intelligence Services, the Reserve Bank, the Public Service, Foreign Service, Nedlac, the GCIS, SARS, Denel, Transnet etc.
The ANC has not (yet) altered the Constitution to facilitate this process, not out of any respect for the Constitutional State, but because it has had no need to. In May last year Kgalema Motlanthe, the ANC secretary general, stated that his organisation would use a two-thirds majority to review the Judicial Services Commission, the Reserve Bank and the offices of the Attorney and Auditor General. In the event, the Constitution proved no obstacle, and the ANC appointed its cadres to head up the Reserve Bank and National Directorate of Public Prosecutions. The ANC caucus proved dominant on the JSC. By the end of the year the ANC was boasting that it did not need any constitutional changes to “transform” the judiciary and the office of the auditor general.
In The Federalist James Madison wrote that the “accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
It is in this sense that the ANC cadre policy subverts the separation of powers. The ANC’s cadre policy creates a parallel authority to that of the state. It demands that Cadres remain loyal to the Party hierarchy (not the Constitution) even once they have been appointed to positions in the State or the legislatures. The whole Deployment Policy is designed to ensure that ANC Cadres remain accountable to the senior party hierarchy.
The Cadre Policy also opens up massive powers of patronage to the party hierarchy. New vistas of ambition are opened up. The ANC hierarchy (already able to expel MP’s from parliament) is now able to dangle before lowly members of the legislature the possibility of promotion to the commanding heights of the state.
Thus instead of ambition counteracting ambition to prevent the encroachment of power, ambition (for ANC members) is dependent on keeping in favour with the senior party hierarchy. Loyalty to the party will be rewarded with further and higher “deployment”, disloyalty punished by “redeployment.” Their ambitions become integrally bound up with the further extension and consolidation of ANC power.
For ANC members deployed to positions in the state or Parliament there is no personal motive to resist encroachments by other departments. The interest of the Cadre is not connected with the constitutional rights of the place he has been deployed to, but to the Party that appointed him there.
Instead of exercising oversight and control over other departments there is every incentive to turn a blind eye to the abuse of power.
“Cartel Power Dynamics in Zimbabwe”
Attached is the report and it is worth reading in full as countries like China, South Africa, UAE, DRC, Rwanda, Uganda, Switzerland, Singapore, Mauritius, Russia, Lebanon, Belarus, Britain, Mozambique, etc. are mentioned. Below are a few excerpts.
Maverick Citizen is publishing this report on cartel dynamics in Zimbabwe. Sadly, it is not safe to do so in Zimbabwe at a time when freedom of expression and the press has been brutally suppressed. Journalists and activists are being regularly arrested, imprisoned and sometimes tortured and murdered.
From this study we find that there is consensus across political parties, academics, and wider society that cartels go against the public interest, and they are characterised by collusion between the private sector and influential politicians to attain monopolistic positions, fix prices and stifle of competition.
The study finds three types of cartels: the first being collusive relationships between private sector companies; the second being abuse of office by public officeholders for self-enrichment; and the third and main type being collusive relationships between public officials and the private sector. Case studies in the transport, mining, energy and agricultural sectors are then used to show how Zimbabwe’s political patrons are at the heart of almost all cartels – enabling public officials loyal to them and private sector companies from which they benefit to acquire illicit profits.
Zimbabweans do not trust many of the key institutions in the country. They do not trust in the money issued by their Central Bank, or the electoral process that bestows power on their leaders. They also do not trust their leaders to serve the interests of citizens, and there is no trust in the courts, the military or the police to serve them well.
The international sanctions regime increased Zimbabwe’s reliance on non-Western countries, such as China, South Africa and the UAE, and companies registered in tax havens to enable trade and investment. These countries are either financially secretive or have weak anti-money laundering legislation, which then allows for economic actors (Zimbabwean and foreign alike) to exploit these vulnerabilities by engaging in cartel behaviour.
In many cases, these actors are private individuals but, in some cases, they are connected to state apparatus, as will be shown by examples in the case studies.
Interviewees pointed to the Second Congo War as a key juncture at which collusion between PEPs and the private sector gained prominence in the Zimbabwean political economy.
The War broke out in 1998 between the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and rebels backed by Rwanda and Uganda, and eventually drew in eight countries. Zimbabwe’s army supported the DRC government and was described by the UN as “a major guarantor of the security of the [DRC] government” (United Nations, 2003).
Despite this commendation, the war effort came at a considerable cost to Zimbabweans – an estimated US$1 million a day 76 at a time when the country was defaulting on its loans to the IMF, World Bank and Paris Club creditors. This profligacy was motivated by the self-enrichment of senior military and government officials through looting of diamonds, timber and other resources from DRC. Collusion between these state officials and private sector actors led to the creation of cartels in DRC, which are estimated to have transferred US$5 billion worth of mineral assets from the DRC state into private hands.
Oryx Diamonds Ltd – a diamond mining company in which entities linked to the Zimbabwean military and the Congolese president had large shareholdings. The concession on which the venture was based was valued at $1 billion and had been taken from a state mining company by decree.
Oryx Natural Resources, a third shareholder owned by an Omani businessman, made illegal donations to ZANU-PF during the 2000 Parliamentary elections. Colonel Muammar Gaddafi later became a shareholder in Oryx Diamond mine.
Factional fights in ZANU-PF are revealing the activities of cartels, as each faction tries to dent the popularity of the other. Revelations around the fuel, grain, NSSA, medical import and Marange diamonds cartels have emerged from factional fights. Such revelations are not targeted at triggering genuine reform, but rather serve to spread factional propaganda.
