Paaie in Kaap toe weens betogings – en so word SA afgebreek met voortslepende betogings

Posted on Leave a comment

Verskeie paaie in die Kaapse metropool, insluitend Jakes Gerwelrylaan en Highlandsrylaan in Mitchells Plain, is Woensdagoggend weens protesaksies gesluit.

Volgens Wayne Dyason, woordvoerder van Kaapstad se wetstoepassingseenheid, is ’n kitsbank, vrugtestalletjie en motor Woensdagoggend vroeg aan die brand gesteek.

Nóg ’n kitsbank is gevandaliseer en ’n winkel en taxi is met klippe gegooi.

Dit was vroegoggend nog nie duidelik waaroor die protesaksie gaan nie.

*Daar was vroegoggend ook betogings in Eldoradopark en Soweto in Gauteng weens ontevredenheid oor voorafbetaalde elektrisiteitsmeters, maar gemoedere is teen 9:00 gekalmeer.

ANC veg verbete om Wes-Kaap terug te wen

Posted on Leave a comment

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.

END OF THE RIDE FOR RATANGA JUNCTION

Posted on Leave a comment

It’s the end of the ride for Cape Town’s most iconic amusement park. Ratanga Junction will be closing at the end of April.

The theme park has been a special place for many Capetonians and tourists alike for almost two decades.

It’ll make way for a new mixed-use development.

Ratanga Junction General Manager Bill Taylor said: “The park itself is doing very well. We do a quarter million guests a year. We’re averaging over 2,300 guests a day, and it’s very solvent as a business. But the land has always been earmarked for development and it’s becoming under more development pressure as time passes.”

The Cape Cobra and many other popular rides will be making their last trip on the first of May.

Introduction to the Cape Party – Imagine our own country

Posted on Leave a comment

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.

Wes-Kaap se “E-Tol” maak nou plek vir provinsiale brandstofheffing

Posted on 3 Comments

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.
