The Gauteng Education MEC was left shell-shocked when he walked outside his office to find peopling “hanging” a doll of him.
South Africans are furious after a tweet from Gauteng Education Minister Panyaza Lesufi went viral for all the wrong reasons. While the issue involves Lesufi, the fury is definitely not directed at him.

Terwyl die DA met kopsere sit oor sy Kaapse dames, het die ANC ‘n grootkop ingespan om te probeer om die Wes-Kaap in volgende jaar se algemene verkiesing terug te wen.
Die DA weet nog nie hoe om van hulle Kaapstadse burgemeester, Patricia de Lille, ontslae te raak nie, terwyl hulle provinsiale premier, Helen Zille, ook nie meer bo-aan die party se gewildheidslys staan nie en hulle nog geen natuurlike opvolger vir haar het om die verkiesingsveldtog namens die DA te lei nie.
Die ANC het nou hulle voormalige premier en ambassadeur, Ebrahim Rasoo, nadergetrek om hulle veldtog te lei, en hulle glo reeds dat hulle die provinsie met 51% van die stemme gaan terugwen.

It is astonishing that Mary Metcalfe, whose educational legacy in Gauteng was characterised by one foolish, abandoned experiment after the other, should pontificate on the issue of Afrikaans schools (“War talk won’t end language row”, June 5). The very prowess of those schools and their exceptional results depended for years on avoiding, sometimes even surreptitiously, the more disastrous policies and decisions emanating from the provincial education minister’s office.

The Cape Party was founded in 2007. In 2008, the Cape Party was officially registered with the IEC as a political party in the RSA.
Our first hope is that the ANC-controlled SA government engage in immediate negotiations to bring an end to the long-standing political, social and economic oppression that they have imposed without challenge on the Cape and its people to this day.
By allowing for greater provincial control over our own economic, social and political affairs we will, at the least, be able to relieve our people of some of the daily persecution we endure.
If the opportunity to negotiate fairly is not possible, then the Cape Party will be left no option but to use all legal and peaceful means to bring into effect greater autonomy of the Cape from the Republic of South Africa, or pursue complete independence… The Cape Republic.

Nog bergaanvalle is die naweek in die Tafelberg Nasionale Park aangemeld, en ’n groep stappers is naby Duikereiland deur drie gewapende mans beroof.
Table Mountain Watch het Sondag in twee afsonderlike twiets die voorvalle bekend gemaak.
In die eerste voorval Sondagoggend is ’n groep van 11 stappers op die Sentinel-roete naby Duikereiland beroof deur drie mans wat bewapen was.
In die tweede voorval is ’n fietsryer by Vlakkenberg beroof. Volgens Table Mountain Watch is dit die 40ste voorval vanjaar.
Die aanvalle raak al hoe gewelddadiger en slagoffers is al in dié aanvalle dood.
Kapt. F.C. van Wyk, polisiewoordvoerder, het die voorvalle bevestig en gesê niemand is nog in verband met die rooftogte in hegtenis geneem nie.
Van Wyk sê die polisie ondersoek steeds die voorvalle.

By gebrek aan E-Tol, beplan die Wes-Kaapse regering beplan om ‘n provinsiale brandstofheffing in te stel bo en behalwe die nasionale heffing wat deur die regering gehef word.
Dit is klaarblyklik om geld te in om paaie te bou en in stand te hou.
Verskeie organisasies, waaronder OUTA, het hulle kommer uitgespreek oor die moontlike heffing. Motoriste betaal tans reeds R5,30 per liter heffing aan die staat.
Selfs die ANC staan die DA se voorstel teë.
Vir die provinsie, wat sy ergste droogte in meer as 70 jaar beleef, sal die ekstra uitgawe ‘n baie swaar las plaas op boere, besighede en alle ander motoriste.
Reeds in 2006 is daar in ‘n studie getoon dat so ‘n heffing negatiewe gevolge sal hê, maar ten spyte daarvan wil die DA beheerde Wes-Kaapse regering dit tog deurvoer.

The Universal Declaration of Independence which was signed at the historic Castle in Cape Town on 24th September 2017 claims the current Western Cape, The Northern Cape and the Eastern Cape up to the Fish River, as its sovereign territory with 15 Million citizens. Secession is the action of withdrawing formally from membership and participation of any federation, body or political state.
Representatives from white South African people approached the Khoi king with a plan for secession and it was discussed over a five hour long meeting. The plan was agreed to and a verbal agreement was put in place. The plan was simple, that the Khoi King secede with the backing of the Khoi, Afrikaner Boers, Other European descendants and Coloureds. For this backing, these four nations would equally power share in a new government under a sovereign parliament federal government system as laid out in the brief that was received by all parties. And thus a relationship was born a

Rudi Gouws appeared tough throughout the Boeremag trial. But on Tuesday, tears shimmered in the bomber’s eyes upon hearing he was sentenced to an effective 25 years in jail.
With muscles bulging from exercising in jail for the past decade and sporting leg irons following his second escape attempt, he was pale as he hugged his family before returning to jail where the man he had followed like a shadow, Herman van Rooyen, waited to hear his fate.
