Following reports that the health of President Umaru Yar’Adua is worsening, his daughters and in-laws are said to have travelled to Jeddah in Saudi-Arabia to join Turai to monitor him closely.

Today is the 78th day since Yar’Adua travelled to Saudi Arabia to treat his failing health at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital.

Sources told P.M.NEWS this morning that the president’s daughters, Zainab, who is married to Governor Usman Dakingari of Kebbi State, and Najisat, who is married to Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State, have travelled to Jeddah along with the first family’s in-laws to join Turai Yar’Adua, who has been nursing the president at the hospital.

Our sources said the president’s health had taken a turn for the worse lately and this has caused panic among his family, with the in-laws also showing serious concern.

The President is said to be suffering from pericaditis, an inflammation of the heart, as well as kidney related ailments.

Yar’Adua has been battling with his health since he was governor of Katsina State between 1999 and 2007.

The president is said to have been placed on life support when his ailment worsened.

His absence for the past 78 days has caused constitutional crisis because he failed to transmit a letter to the National Assembly, informing the legislators that he was going on a medical trip and his deputy, Goodluck Jonathan, should be sworn in as Acting President in accordance with the provision of Section 145 of the 1999 constitution.

According to the USA definition Mandela was a terrorist and African National Congress was a terrorist group,most of the ANC members where banned from going to state because they're terrorist,I think Winnie Mandela is still under that list,because she was refused visa two or three years ago,although after some negotiation her visa was approved she told them to go and shove it some where the sun don't come

So the answer is yes,if we use the USA definitions.But who cares?

We will be trying again to shoot down the Falcons but your ladies wont budge I just know .Naija ladies are tough cookies
Maybe we should recruite that 800 meter world champion, whats her name again?? Caster Semenya,you know the likes for the likes

tpia.:
i dont see how the critics are wrong to be concerned about safety in Africa when Africans themselves complain about lack of safety all the time.
and yes, much of the world is biased against Africa but considering what goes on there, wouldnt any ordinary person feel scared?
Both Sepp Blatter and the anti-Africa critics have a point.
Sometimes we should look at ourselves honestly although that's impossible.

Tpia like Mr Mo have explained,we are not saying the crime rate or reports are pretty but the way it's reported you sense that the is a movement of some sort against this world cup.

Let me say this,last weekend we had ATP SA Open the following top players where playing

Frenchman Gael Monfils,who won the competition
Frenchman Josselin Ouanna
Speniard David Ferrer among other top players and this is a yearly tounament,last year was won by Jo Winfred Tsonga of France.

Last month we hosted the English cricket team which travelled with around 20 000 supporter for the whole month.Now the Super 14 Rugby competition start with team from Australia and New Zealand joining South African teams,this tournament will go for at least three months.And it's been played since 1996.

Not to to mentioned that Germnas teams esspecially Wolsburg where here last month for their off season preparations and are regular visitors.

English teams are regulars visitors,Manchester United,Portsmouth,Totenham, are all regulars and there have never been any incident that you can write home about.

The biggest tourist to South Africa are English and Germans and most of them have holidays houses in most coastal cities,that show you the faith this people have in our country,and I wonder why now they're making so much noises.

If you live in Township in South Africa life will be little bit tough for you,although things are changing it is still considered poor areas and crime is higher there.And still most crime or murders happen between people who knows each otther.

There for it is very possible to come to SA and have a very peacefull holidays as long as you don't go to areas that will expose you to dangerous places.

Typia Before the 2006 World Cup in Germany there was train attacks in Madrid and later in London and as Africans we where intelligent enough to know that Europe is not a single country and it was safe to go to Germany.

I am happy that one whiteman had the confiction to tell it as it is,because if you're black people say we are quick to play the race card

Blatter calls critics "anti-Africa"
Posted: 2010-02-11 15:19

Fifa President Sepp Blatter has broken his silence over critics' persistent claims that the World Cup in South Africa might not be safe.

Despite assurances from South Africa's government, foreign critics again questioned South Africa's ability to host a safe World Cup after the Togolese national team bus was machine-gunned after it crossed the Republic of Congo into Angola's oil-rich town of Cabinda.

The Togolese were arriving for the Afcon, when the terrorist attack left three people dead, including two members of the team.

However, Blatter told Germany's Press Agency DPA that it is "nonsense" to link the terrorist attack in Angola to South Africa.

"It is nonsense to combine what has happened in Angola with a terrorist attack and link it to the South Africa World Cup. Eleven million tourists travel every year to South Africa. Last week an ATP (tennis) tournament was played in Johannesburg, and they didn't die," Blatter argues.

"It's kind of an anti-Africa movement, this is not right. There is still in the so called 'old world' a feeling that why the hell should South Africa organise a World Cup. Why the hell? It was easier for them to go down to Africa, the colonialists in the past hundred years, to take out all the best, and now to take out all the best footballers. And when you have to give something back they don't want to go. What's that? It is a lack of respect, a lack of respect for the whole of Africa," Blatter says.

I remember that day vividly. 1990, I was in jss 2 . That morning a teacher ran into our class pantiing, ''Mandela is free!''

Amagla gawato! Hope I got it right?

It is Amandla Awethu (Power to the people) I am glad you stll have that memory

Godalone:
I join the South African in celebrating Nelson Mandela. Freedom for all

Yeah man this is the day that changed our lifes,I remember the violence before his release,people where impatient because his release day was sort of postponed for couple of times and we thought the goverment wanted to release him and kill him.We where happy but scared that the evil goverment was planning some evil tings.
On the day people in my hometown /township where singing and dancing,I was eleven years old but was matured enough to know exactly what was going on and before Mandela's release I was in a group of youngsters who wanted to flee the country and join Umkhondo We Sizwe,our military in Lusaka Zambia.Obviously our parents did not know our plans,there where guys who where recruiting us.Some of our older friends had left earliar and most came back in 1994 and some never return and their where abouts is still a mistery.

But thank God Mandela was released and our lives changed forever.We had to go back to school and try to normalise our lifes again.
I am really greatful to Mandela and all other Comrades who put their heads in line for our freedom.I salute all our heroes.

Amandla?- Power?

Awethu- To the people

Mayibuye?- Let's claim back

NELSON MANDELA'S ADDRESS TO RALLY IN CAPE TOWN ON HIS RELEASE FROM PRISON
11 February 1990

Friends, comrades and fellow South Africans.

I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all.

I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.

On this day of my release, I extend my sincere and warmest gratitude to the millions of my compatriots and those in every corner of the globe who have campaigned tirelessly for my release.

I send special greetings to the people of Cape Town, this city which has been my home for three decades. Your mass marches and other forms of struggle have served as a constant source of strength to all political prisoners.

I salute the African National Congress. It has fulfilled our every expectation in its role as leader of the great march to freedom.

I salute our President, Comrade Oliver Tambo, for leading the ANC even under the most difficult circumstances.

I salute the rank and file members of the ANC. You have sacrificed life and limb in the pursuit of the noble cause of our struggle.

I salute combatants of Umkhonto we Sizwe, like Solomon Mahlangu and Ashley Kriel who have paid the ultimate price for the freedom of all South Africans.

I salute the South African Communist Party for its sterling contribution to the struggle for democracy. You have survived 40 years of unrelenting persecution. The memory of great communists like Moses Kotane, Yusuf Dadoo, Bram Fischer and Moses Mabhida will be cherished for generations to come.

I salute General Secretary Joe Slovo, one of our finest patriots. We are heartened by the fact that the alliance between ourselves and the Party remains as strong as it always was.

I salute the United Democratic Front, the National Education Crisis Committee, the South African Youth Congress, the Transvaal and Natal Indian Congresses and COSATU and the many other formations of the Mass Democratic Movement.

I also salute the Black Sash and the National Union of South African Students. We note with pride that you have acted as the conscience of white South Africa. Even during the darkest days in the history of our struggle you held the flag of liberty high. The large-scale mass mobilisation of the past few years is one of the key factors which led to the opening of the final chapter of our struggle.

I extend my greetings to the working class of our country. Your organised strength is the pride of our movement. You remain the most dependable force in the struggle to end exploitation and oppression.

I pay tribute to the many religious communities who carried the campaign for justice forward when the organisations for our people were silenced.

I greet the traditional leaders of our country - many of you continue to walk in the footsteps of great heroes like Hintsa and Sekhukune.

I pay tribute to the endless heroism of youth, you, the young lions. You, the young lions, have energised our entire struggle.

I pay tribute to the mothers and wives and sisters of our nation. You are the rock-hard foundation of our struggle. Apartheid has inflicted more pain on you than on anyone else.

On this occasion, we thank the world community for their great contribution to the anti-apartheid struggle. Without your support our struggle would not have reached this advanced stage. The sacrifice of the frontline states will be remembered by South Africans forever.

My salutations would be incomplete without expressing my deep appreciation for the strength given to me during my long and lonely years in prison by my beloved wife and family. I am convinced that your pain and suffering was far greater than my own.

Before I go any further I wish to make the point that I intend making only a few preliminary comments at this stage. I will make a more complete statement only after I have had the opportunity to consult with my comrades.

Today the majority of South Africans, black and white, recognise that apartheid has no future. It has to be ended by our own decisive mass action in order to build peace and security. The mass campaign of defiance and other actions of our organisation and people can only culminate in the establishment of democracy. The destruction caused by apartheid on our sub-continent is in- calculable. The fabric of family life of millions of my people has been shattered. Millions are homeless and unemployed. Our economy lies in ruins and our people are embroiled in political strife. Our resort to the armed struggle in 1960 with the formation of the military wing of the ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe, was a purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid. The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement will be created soon so that there may no longer be the need for the armed struggle.

I am a loyal and disciplined member of the African National Congress. I am therefore in full agreement with all of its objectives, strategies and tactics.

The need to unite the people of our country is as important a task now as it always has been. No individual leader is able to take on this enormous task on his own. It is our task as leaders to place our views before our organisation and to allow the democratic structures to decide. On the question of democratic practice, I feel duty bound to make the point that a leader of the movement is a person who has been democratically elected at a national conference. This is a principle which must be upheld without any exceptions.

Today, I wish to report to you that my talks with the government have been aimed at normalising the political situation in the country. We have not as yet begun discussing the basic demands of the struggle. I wish to stress that I myself have at no time entered into negotiations about the future of our country except to insist on a meeting between the ANC and the government.

Mr. De Klerk has gone further than any other Nationalist president in taking real steps to normalise the situation. However, there are further steps as outlined in the Harare Declaration that have to be met before negotiations on the basic demands of our people can begin. I reiterate our call for, inter alia, the immediate ending of the State of Emergency and the freeing of all, and not only some, political prisoners. Only such a normalised situation, which allows for free political activity, can allow us to consult our people in order to obtain a mandate.

The people need to be consulted on who will negotiate and on the content of such negotiations. Negotiations cannot take place above the heads or behind the backs of our people. It is our belief that the future of our country can only be determined by a body which is democratically elected on a non-racial basis. Negotiations on the dismantling of apartheid will have to address the over- whelming demand of our people for a democratic, non-racial and unitary South Africa. There must be an end to white monopoly on political power and a fundamental restructuring of our political and economic systems to ensure that the inequalities of apartheid are addressed and our society thoroughly democratised.

It must be added that Mr. De Klerk himself is a man of integrity who is acutely aware of the dangers of a public figure not honouring his undertakings. But as an organisation we base our policy and strategy on the harsh reality we are faced with. And this reality is that we are still suffering under the policy of the Nationalist government.

Our struggle has reached a decisive moment. We call on our people to seize this moment so that the process towards democracy is rapid and uninterrupted. We have waited too long for our freedom. We can no longer wait. Now is the time to intensify the struggle on all fronts. To relax our efforts now would be a mistake which generations to come will not be able to forgive. The sight of freedom looming on the horizon should encourage us to redouble our efforts.

It is only through disciplined mass action that our victory can be assured. We call on our white compatriots to join us in the shaping of a new South Africa. The freedom movement is a political home for you too. We call on the international community to continue the campaign to isolate the apartheid regime. To lift sanctions now would be to run the risk of aborting the process towards the complete eradication of apartheid.

Our march to freedom is irreversible. We must not allow fear to stand in our way. Universal suffrage on a common voters' role in a united democratic and non-racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony.

In conclusion I wish to quote my own words during my trial in 1964. They are true today as they were then:

'I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.'

.

Crime in South Africa,
The high rate of crime in South Africa is of major concern for expatriates moving to or living in South Africa.

South Africa has got the highest crime rate per 100,000 residents in the world regarding assault,
despoil and murder as shown in various statistics and was getting lots of undesirable attention recently
for being dubbed as the 5th most dangerous city, so called "murder-capital" in the world.

South Africa is often referred to as one of the high-risk areas in the world with a murder rate on par
with that of Rio de Janeiro according to the United Nations in 2006.

With 1797 murders with a population of roughly 4,785,000 residents in Cape Town the murder ratio
is around 55 murders for every 100,000 persons. These are shocking figures for sure. But you should
know more about Crime in Cape Town and learn where most of the crime happens.

To Your Success!
Shola

Shola the information you provided is a open secret,everybody knows about crime and South Africa.And we also know it is over exagerated.
I thought you where going to give people proper info,like where to go when in RSA,or what kinds of places are too dangerous.
But I see that you are new here.I even doubt if you know anything about SA except what you've told or read.

onye_ngbu:
I cant get it:

Did you say they are ATTACKING the world?

I think we're intelligent enough to know that he meant ATTRACTING.

Shola are those your FREE tips?

^^I am busy celebrating 20th annivesary of the release of Tata Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela We are celebrating the birth of my country

To all South Africans here and her friends,let us celebrate this Icon of ours.

I say if God of the Jew was Abraham's friend,then our God is Mandela's friend.

Did Yadua finally die?

^^With this mentality now we know why Africa will forever be a dark continent

suxes2005:
I wish to visit S.A ASAP

Any1 wanna invite me?
Will love to spend at least a week
and visit lots of places.

SHALOM

Where in SA do you want to visit?

I offered to host Mr Mo and my offer still stand,I am in cape town but during the world cup I will be in Rustenburg,North West Province where I was born.

M.Wayne:
Can you plz answer me, is cape town a better place to be in SA?

Yes Cape Town is a beautiful place,a holiday city,but if you want to work and make money Gauteng Province is the place,It is not called Gngsters Parradise for nothing

But South Africa has lot of other interesting places you could visit or stay,like Port Elizabeth(nicknamed freindly city),Petermaritzburg,Durban,East London,Knysna all this cities are coastal cities and there is Pretoria,Nelspruit,Petersburg,Rustenburg-SunCity and Kimberly.

Please visit www.southafrica.net

^^I wish you all the best for all your endeavour my brother,people like you are what Africa need.This is not about competition,SA has a lot to learn from Nigeria and vice a versa.Service delivery in poor areas,health and crime are three major issues in South Africa and I'm sure we will find solution for it.

We are not saying South Africa is a first world country,but a working country.As a country we've seen different kind of people in our country,suspecious of some and friendly to some.It is a human nature.
Black people continue to develop at a very high pace,and still the goverment and its people want that pace to grow faster.

I have no issues with Nigerians infact I love Nigerians,I've been to lagos once and plan to visit soon maybe other places.Yes Nigeria is not South Africa and I was not there to compare the two countries.But I wont sit here and listen to some fooll telling me that black South Africans are stuppid and lazy when I know that our people are the hard working Africans I know.

^^apology accepted mate,if you've been following posts on South Africa here you'll have notice the lack of respect for black South Africans by Nigerians.The Xenophobia attacks gave most of your people an excuse to attack us and taking out their anger laced with jealousy on black South Africans.

M.Wayne:
