DictatorZAR:the source I cited which showed the dismal failure of eskom gave the south African airways as an example of another failed government run firm. Cry to that source not me. You're the post-shifting buffoon. |
jln115:I love the great deal of efforts you're willing to undergo just to "prove" and dissociate yourself from the most primitive group in Africa. Unfortunately, your proof isn't proof enough and that arm of yours is more coloured than white. |
MduZA:Bros, abeg, we no be mate in any sphere of human awareness!!! Oya read:[b] A South African newspaper, The Mail & Guardian, reported on Friday that South Africa had begun to work out the process of returning more than R100-million in Nigerian money that it confiscated last year, or clearing the way to sell arms to the West African country. The Mail and Guardian through diplomatic sources informed that South Africa has begun talks to work out a process to return the money in an effort to start off on a clean slate with the recently elected government of the Nigerian president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari. South African law enforcement agencies seized $15-million in two batches: $5.7-million that had been wired to Standard Bank and $9.3-million in cash, which was confiscated. It was brought into the country through Lanseria airport in Johannesburg in three suitcases by a delegation said to represent the Nigerian government. In both cases, the money was suspected to be for illegal use. *President Zuma Now South Africa wants to use the money to extend an olive branch to Buhari’s government and mend relations between the two countries, which became strained during the tenure of outgoing president Goodluck Jonathan. “The positive thing about [Buhari] is that one of the people who supported him is Atiku Abubakar. That makes him our man and he will automatically work well with [President Jacob] Zuma,” a government source said. Close connection Abubakar is close to Zuma. He was Nigeria’s vice president during the presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo, at the time when Zuma was Thabo Mbeki’s deputy. “Also, this man [Buhari] is a [retired] military general. It is true that the military needs some beefing up to fight Boko Haram and we should help,” the source added. So how will Nigeria know that it stands to benefit from an otherwise controversial transaction that had exacerbated tensions between the two countries? Explained the government source: “Diplomatically you send a signal. Obviously they will have to make a request once they receive a positive signal, but the request will just be an official step to finalising the transaction.” Buhari is due to take over the leadership of the country after winning the recent elections. Formal talks have not yet begun but South Africa has apparently started sending “positive signals” through its diplomats in Nigeria and to the Nigerian embassy in Pretoria. Diplomatically favourable To ensure that the process of returning the money or regularising the sale of arms looks as clean as possible, the Hawks investigation will continue, the source said, but will be managed politically to reach a conclusion that is diplomatically favourable. “One way is to make the investigators say: ‘Yes, a law has been broken, but it’s true that the government [of Nigeria] is the owner of that money and genuinely wanted to buy arms legally. They might have flouted the rules, but it’s a genuine transaction.’ [We will say] this money does not come from dirty hands or rebels or arms dealers,” the source said. “We will find a way to regularise the transaction and either return the money or give them arms.” Nigeria wanted to buy arms such as helicopters and ammunition to strengthen its fight against Islamic extremist group Boko Haram. Last year, the M&G reported that the head of the national conventional arms control committee, Jeff Radebe, who is also the minister in the presidency, was blamed by his colleagues in government for taking a unilateral decision to try to regularise the sale of arms to Nigeria to facilitate the release of bodies of South Africans who were killed when the TB Joshua church building collapsed in Nigeria. At the time, Radebe denied it and said the committee had met in October and decided to propose unlocking the Nigerian arms trade. ‘Bona fide error’ The M&G quoted from two letters that Radebe had written to JP “Torie” Pretorius of the Hawks and Dumisani Dladla, the head of the arms control committee’s secretariat, in which he said the failed attempt on September 5 to pay an arms dealer in South Africa “was, in fact, a legitimate requirement from the government of Nigeria”. “Although the required administrative processes were not adhered to at the time, the government of South Africa deems it a bona fide error,” he wrote. This week a government source told the M&G: “What Jeff did may have been unilateral, but it is now an avenue that South Africa is willing to explore. Even when we were doing damage control after your story, the discussion centred around how we can get a positive outcome out of this.” The committee apparently met after the article was published in November last year and decided to use the return of the money or the sale of arms to appease the new government of Nigeria after the elections. “After the story, they had to regroup and say: ‘How do we deal with this situation?’ You cannot let it hang forever; you must find a way to conclude it in a way that will satisfy both sides,” the source said. Zuma has apparently been briefed by ministers who serve on the committee and has warmed to the idea. Efforts to get comment from Zuma’s spokesperson Mac Maharaj and from Radebe were unsuccessful. Improved relations Relations between Nigeria and South Africa have not been at their best, particularly between the Zuma and Jonathan administrations. “[By returning this money] you get friendship, loyalty and an opportunity where he [Buhari] is willing to work with us to lead the continent and speak with one voice. “Instead of Nigeria second-guessing us all the time, we will compare notes and stop fighting for things like the United Nations Security Council seat that’s not even permanent,” the source said. “Nigeria is a strategic country that South Africa cannot ignore. It’s a big market. It’s possible South African companies make more money in Nigeria than in South Africa.” When Buhari took on Jonathan in last month’s elections, Pretoria was already positioning itself for refreshed relations with Abuja.[/b] |
mzilakazi: there are now wild calls for eskom to be privatised as it can't be managed. Like south African airways your power grid are obsolete.Your excuses aren't flying. You are used to darkness, you khayelitsha-n ![]() |
jln115:why do you hurt your Zulu brothers this bad. For your info, you have every pride to flaunt your Zulu heritage, no need to be ashamed. Remember Shaka, the Zulu, the half unclad spear-weilding Zulu Tarzan? ![]() Those are things you should be proud of. Now show me your spear-weilding skills and I will tell you the difference between a modern Zulu and a pre-apartheid one. Common. ![]() |
mzilakazi:President Jacob Zuma has blamed apartheid as the root cause of South Africa’s electricity woes, noting that the system was built to funnel power to white homes. “The problem is that energy was structured racially to serve a particular race, not the majority,” he told delegates at a recent Young Communist League congress in Cape Town. In the past two post-apartheid decades, the government led by the African National Congress has indeed made great strides in bringing power to the rest of the country. Mr Zuma says 11m households now have electricity, twice as many as in 1994.[i][/i] But this is cold comfort for a country now united in darkness. Eskom’s woes—crumbling old power stations, delays in the building of new plant—were widely predicted, |
jln115: I know you'll chicken out!!!No need looking up Einstein's view on insanity when you have been a living example since yesterday. |
mzilakazi:Jacob Zuma desperate to repair strained relation with Nigeria offered to return the $15 million arms deal money to Nigeria without any promoting from our government. Even Pretoria knows the beginning of wisdom is to enjoy a cordial diplomatic relations with Nigeria ![]() |
mzilakazi:A south African sport minister also compared the South African league to the EPL A south African diplomat also meddled in the Israeli-Palestinian affair. Did you watch the video of the south African minister who attempted to defend South Africa's world cup bribery? He reeked of lack of professionalism and came off looking more guilty than judas ![]() Stupidity is a national heritage of south Africans I never knew the GDP gap hurts you guys @patchesagain, jn115 et al. Now of all the prediction from Pretoria to Paris not one analyst have predicted SA ever coming tops in GDP again. As the years go so out gap over you grows. Ethiopia is coming to ease you off the top spot soon. Ewu Zulu ![]() |
jln115:blackmailing Zulu, now quote a post where a shrimp like you ever discoursed and argued bcom and become with me. ![]() You can't accept that you have been dragged along the mud by a girl without resorting to cheap rhetorics. I can almost feel pity for you, REALLY. |
mzilakazi:you call that latest report? You must be under the influence of too much pap. After the re validation of workers and new state governors settling in, states are beginning to payhttp://www.news24.com.ng/National/News/Kaduna-State-Govt-begins-verification-of-workers-on-Wednesday-20150621 |
mzilakazi: you do khayelitsha a great injustice. Please address khayelitsha by its true title: the Makoko of Africa.Makoko is a fishing community in Lagos by the lagoon, khayelitsha is the the heart of Capetown where faeces and huge rats share accommodation with humans. |
mzilakazi:like you claimed Soweto has been liberated and giant rats still eat human babies for lunch. E[b]njoy this excerpt from a 2015 source:Khayelitsha – Cape Town, South Africa Khayelitsha’s population is projected to be around 400,000, with a striking 40 percent of its residents under 19 years old. Across the streets are barefoot children roaming along the banks of an open sewer, while cows roam next to overflowing heap of rubbish. This township came to existence during the collapse of apartheid system in South Africa. It is a worrying sight as residents have to live with their faeces. This is because, when it rains, the public toilets overflow into their houses. some-houses in Khayelitsha settlement Sleeping at night in Khayelitsha is a battle, because of the terrible smell. Indeed life is challenging for residents as there’s no work, no income, and no money for rent or for medication, only one meal a day and house covered with polythene paper. This poverty does not end as children and [/b]mothers are still scavenging their food in the dump sites. |
mzilakazi:http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/why-states-cant-pay-workers-salaries/ only few states' workers aren't payed. |
mzilakazi:khayelitsha is the 3rd biggest slum IN THE WHOLE WORLD. You Zulus are pathetic and shameless. Khayelitsha is a township? Of course dummy, only townships can produce giant, endless slum like khayelitsha.http://www.ibtimes.com/5-biggest-slums-world-381338 |
mzilakazi:your soldiers are shooting in their pants in Sudan after 500 Sudanese soldiers surrounded your 800 ![]() |
[s] mzilakazi:[/s] Confined to the dustbin. |
mzilakazi:like you couldn't pay your striking mine workers and had to slaughter them with the police? Like you couldn't pay your doctors and Nigerian doctors are filling up your public hospitals. Khayelitsha is still the Maliki of Africa and there's nothing you can do about it. |
jln115:watching a movie and reacting to multiple posts of bashings . Nigga Zulu, don't embarrass yourself further. Like a dumb kid, you were watching the pictures with that trademark primitive smirk of zulus with saliva drooling out of your half open lips lost to self consciousness. |
jln115:As a Zulu who had access to education a little too old and too late, you often appear desperate to sound smart. Avail yourself of the free education you have been exposed to on NL, leave your baseless pride aside and only then can you grow in sophistication and a balanced world view. Make yourself available and we shall unshackle you from the hold of ignorance and buffoonery. |
jln115:try harder, nitwit. There are no movies in front of you. If there are, @ddami has spoilt it for you ![]() Unless you're telling me you are merely watching the pictures and not following the words, kid. |
jln115:This Sissy, nagging Zulu cūnt actually stayed all night fighting with a girl what a sore loser!!And she took you to the cleaners, stood on your last nerve and robbed you of your sleep. You really are a loose, beat up cünt . |
jln115:and you stayed up all nightl locked in a battle with people who do not know the difference between become and bcom? every time you open your mouth, you shoot yourself |
jln115:now I can see why you are the only white Zulu boy in town. a white man with a Zulu brain. |
jln115:at bolded, you really are a nagging Zulu cūnt Is that how it is with you Zulus? When someone spank you really hard you go on replying without sense just to have a semblance of victory? No wonder this thread drags on for 5 years. Please take your e-whooping with grace |
jln115: , deception acknowledged.And now you're holding on to the repetitive straws of desperation. ![]() |
jln115:hey, foggy, leave the Lady alone, I know she's been sitting on your nerves and making you itchy but be a man- a Zulu man at least. Agaugust has given you military lessons no school in south Africa can dare. Where's your sense of gratitude? |
jln115:Are you angry? You seem almost in tears ![]() |
ddami:they are on pap break. Their favourite |
jln115:nope, what Zulus are versed in are docility, economic illiteracy and xenophobia. That is Zulu legacy. |
