2003: Zim: World Food Program cuts December food for 2.6m Black people
Here‘s proof from an old article of mine that the WFP was feeding millions of Blacks in Zimbabwe after they chased out the White Farmers. Personally I think the Blacks should have been left to starve.
[This is funny. Everything that the Whites had, that we ran well is now a total stuff up. When I got into computers, my first job was for the "South African Post Office" – which also controlled and ran the entire telephone (landline) system for the country. I worked in Pretoria and the buildings were nice and clean and new. We took pride in our work as all Whites do. But for the Blacks, positions of power are for abuse and theft. I don't care. Let the country sink. The sooner the better so we Whites can make a break for our freedom. Jan]
Post Office once again showing that it is not worth another Bailout
2 October 2022
Note to editors: Please find attached soundbite by Dianne Kohler-Barnard MP.
The latest corruption scandal to hit the South African Post Office sounds like a bad joke. It involves a policeman, a teacher and two Post Office workers… These are three professions South Africans should be able to trust implicitly. Instead, the suspects have been arrested for grand-scale fraud at the Post Office.
Reports reveal that two post office workers and their partners allegedly stole R10.2 million from SASSA grants, which are supposed to be paid out to our poorest citizens. In 2020 and 2021 they apparently systematically paid SASSA grants out to ghost accounts they had created.
The Hawks have arrested all four of the suspects in the Eastern Cape, having caught them red-handed siphoning off the money.
It is hardly surprising then, that the Post Office was dumped as a distribution agent for the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants from May this year. Another Failure by Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.
The SASSA grants are distributed via cards and one would imagine that the system was safe. However, the cards today have extremely weak security protection, as the biometrics were scrapped by a government terrified by the threat of a Post Office worker strike. This is despite the fact that the biometrics had by then saved the country R2-billion, by rooting out 1 million fraudulent beneficiaries.
Today they are an easy target for mass thievery.
The DA stands firm in its belief that the Post Office, one of the many bottomless-pit state-owned entities battling operational issues, is beyond repair, and should be liquidated. The funds raised must be used to pay the Post office employees’ medical aid, UIF and pension contributions which the management has carefully and criminally failed to pay over for a number of years.
