Situation tense after more violence in Alexandra
May 14, 2008, 05:30
 
The situation remains tense in Alexandra Township, north east of Johannesburg, after violent clashes erupted between police and locals last night. This follows xenophobic attacks which broke out in the township on Sunday.

Locals have accused foreigners of being behind a series of criminal activities in the township. Foreigners are also accused of taking all the jobs from locals, as well as houses. Last night more violent demonstrations broke out and criminal activities erupted in various parts of the township.

The residents went on the rampage burning tyres, throwing stones at the police and blockading the streets of Alexandra. Police retaliated by firing rubber bullets, raiding several homes and arresting scores of people.

Three people have been killed since the violence erupted on Sunday.

The ANC has called on members of the community to remain calm and to allow police to handle the situation. ANC Alexandra spokesperson, Pule Phalatse, says the party wants the community to be vigilant and not to be used by what he calls 'sinister forces and criminal elements that are trying to destabilise the township.

Media / Swagger redefined
« on: April 30, 2008, 01:17:56 PM »
i know that its not hiphop related but i could not stop laughing check the bold parts



The ANC speaker of the Beaufort West council placed the mayoral chain around the neck of Truman Prince this week -- barely two years after the party expelled the scandal-plagued Karoo politician. And there are strong rumours that Prince will soon be taken back into the ANC fold.

In the past 15 years Prince has been mayor three times as well as municipal manager -- each term mired in controversy.

Expelled from the ANC in February 2006, he is now leader of Badih Chaaban's National People's Party (NPP) in Beaufort West. The ANC was quick to form a coalition with him after he won a marginal majority in the previous municipal election.

The deal was that if the NPP joined the ANC in a coalition, the latter would not oppose his move back into the mayor's office. He has also been in an alliance with the DA.

Last year he was fired as municipal mayor by ANC speaker Siphiwo Piti, who inaugurated him this week.

He was accused of misappropriating money from the mayoral fund by paying the legal fees of a friend sentenced for gun-running, of paying himself a performance bonus of R49 000 and of bringing the municipality into disrepute.

He was also expelled from the ANC by none other than Western Cape Premier Ebrahim Rasool, after being shown on national television trying to pick up underage girls in Beaufort West's main road. He vehemently denied the charges.

Prince is involved in 28 criminal cases lodged with the police, either as alleged perpetrator or complainant, ranging from a**ault to crimen injuria.

He has brought crimen injuria complaints against others for allegedly calling him a "poes", while he himself faces exactly the same charge.

"I do nothing half-heartedly. When I cause shit, I cause big shit. Sometimes, when there are no battles to fight, I would pick a fight because it activates my brain," he said this week.

In an interview with the Mail & Guardian this week, the blue-eyed Prince, who wears enormous Georgio Armani sungla**es and yellow snakeskin boots, described himself as being "like a prophet".

"I see things before other people do. I'm a very good political leader and my pa**ion is my people and my people are the poorest of the poor," he said.

"It's payback time in South Africa. The rich white people can't keep on winning the race because you can't trust white people -- they lie."

In his acceptance speech on Monday he likened himself to Abraham Lincoln. "His is the story of a man who refused to give up -- who turned trial into triumph. So have I. We must roll up our sleeves to better the circumstances of our people," Prince said to a standing ovation. Even the DA's outgoing councillors rose to their feet.

People in Kwamandlenkosi, Beaufort West's township, call him "Prince Seaview" because he has a special liking for the Holiday Inn in Cape Town, where he insists on a room with a view of the ocean.

Sipping his fifth consecutive espresso, he told the M&G: "The tabloids have called me the 'Prince of Pigs' -- while I'm the crown of God's creation. I am a big man in a small town, with a big brain, a huge vision and above-average intelligence.

"My only problem is that I've been vilified by the media and, one day when I am the president of this country, I will curb your profession. There must be a way to control what you people write and I will look into that."

This week the ANC's Piti said the instruction to ANC councillors to work with Prince and the NPP had come from the ANC's Western Cape chair, Mcebisi Skwatsha.

Justifying the move, Piti said: "We felt that the NPP cares more for the poor than the DA does. Politically we are much closer."

But not all local ANC members agree. One, who asked to remain anonymous, told the M&G "the ANC ... will forgive him anything -- stealing, having sex with youngsters, beating up his girlfriend, threatening his political foes -- because he can bring the majority vote to the ANC in next year's election. The ANC has made offers of a provincial job if he delivers the vote next year."

The ANC's Western Cape spokesperson, Garth Strachan, said he is not aware that Prince had reapplied for ANC membership. "He is entitled to reapply to be a member. We will look at his application and apply our minds, but he can't apply while he is a member of the NPP."

Yet Prince clearly believes the party will have him back. "The ANC treated me badly and those within the ANC who fired me have now come back to me," he said.

"I got the ANC to where they are today in Beaufort. But then, once they were in power, they killed me. Now it's all about to change."

Of the 63% voters who participated in the last municipal election in Beaufort West, Prince got the majority vote by about 500 votes, drawing the attention of the ANC. "Nobody can dispute that I am the choice of the people here. Both the ANC and the DA -- and most of the other political parties -- have said that I'm hell. And still the people vote for me because I have a calling in life -- to see to the needs of the poor. I'm good at this job and that's why the ANC needs me," Prince said.

Election results show that most of Prince's support lies in Rustdene.

"When he puts his mind to doing something and helping somebody, he cuts through red tape and delivers like nobody else. People like that. Truman is one of us. He doesn't walk around drinking mineral water," a 56-year-old resident here said.

"We call him 'Tru-baby' because he drove around throwing money out the windows of his car. He makes us laugh and when he promises you things, you believe him even though you suspect that it won't happen," said a resident from an old age home.

In exchange for their votes Prince offered to take the home's residents to the sea. He has not delivered on that promise yet, and the pensioners are still waiting to see the sea.

Racist video surfaces at the University of the Free State
Bloemfontein, South Africa   
26 February 2008 05:26
A video of University of the Free State (UFS) employees on their knees eating food which had been urinated upon was condemned "in the strongest possible terms" by the university on Tuesday.

The video, made by male students at the Reitz Residence, surfaced on Tuesday morning and adds to an already tense racial situation at UFS after student riots over the university's hostel integration policy.

The video allegedly depicts a mock integration of five elderly African staff members.

The rector, Professor Frederick Fourie, said: "It's a gross violation of the human dignity of the workers involved."

He said criminal charges would be brought against those found to be responsible.

Speaking to journalists in Bloemfontein, Fourie said the video had been strongly condemned by all members of the university's management, who had been meeting for most of the day over the issue.

"We have immediately started with a most urgent investigation on this matter," he said.

The students involved had been identified and the university had taken steps to suspend them.

'Shocking and inhumane'
Democratic Alliance spokesperson in the province, Liana Van Wyk, who had seen the video, described it as "shocking and inhumane".

The video depicts four white male students making the African employees swallow a bottle of beer, run a race, play rugby and then kneel and eat meat which had been urinated upon, she said.

"It looked like they were willing [participants] but they didn't know what purpose the video served ... it was quite humiliating at the end to see the quite senior ladies on their knees eating the meat."

Fourie said two of the students involved in the video were still studying and had since been barred from entering the campus.

Two other students identified on the video completed their studies last year.

He said he was deeply saddened that some students apparently saw nothing wrong in producing such an offensive and degrading video.

He the university's management had apologised to the workers on Tuesday morning for the video, which was recorded last year.

Meanwhile, police had been notified about the incident and arrangements had been made for them to be present on the campus on Tuesday night.

DA leader Helen Zille condemned the incident and said the matter would be handed over to the Human Rights Commission to investigate the underlying causes of racial tension on campus. - Sapa

offshoot from the Mr Selwyn thread......ppl say hiphop is about not conforming to anything..it has no boundaries and blah blah blah. But what i dont understand if its about those thing then why do we discriminate ppl on the basis of their age. for example why is 30 being considered over the hill. what happens to a head when he reaches 30 and still got a lot to offer?  Is hiphop for those in age group of 16-29?

"Listen. [Leans in, speaking directly into the recorder] Darling, I don’t care what nobody think. Talk to me like you talking to Martin Luther King or Malcolm X. You’re not about to ask him about what he think about what somebody said about him. You ’bout to ask him about his greatness, and his greatness only. I don’t care what nobody think. If I did, you wouldn’t be sitting on my muthaf***in’ million-dollar bus in my 15th year at the same muthaf***in’ company and business. I’m a role model. You should get like me. Get like you?

Media / ANC wants media to be controlled
« on: September 04, 2007, 12:20:40 PM »
:evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:
Damn.... shit is getting out of control, as if controlling the SABC is not enuff, now they want to controll print media as well. If the three proposals are adopted it would really mean that we all become like SABC;

1.we like ppl to think of us as neutral/objective meanwhile we are in support of the status quo and the government policies

2.and all like the SANC all media houses would have a blaclist of everyone who is critical of the gov......

3.the board members would be appointed by the president......

4. it would be easy for ppl to move between various gov departments and the media just like Snuki Zikalala, the embedded presidential reporter, Miranda Strydom etc.

5. The government lapdog, Dali Mpofu would be the CEO

Talking about Dali Mpofu..he has written a letter to SANEF ( South African National Editors Forum) accusing the forum of being an "enemy to the people" becasue they sided with the Sunday Times over the Manto saga and most importantly announcing SABC's decision to cut ties with the forum. And also calling the Sunday Times editor a deliquent. And this morning SABC ran a news item about how SANCO in Gauteng wants the (NPA)to investigate if Mondli Makhanya seeked amnesty from the TRC  for his alleged role  in the ANC Self-Defence units in KZN. talking about not messing with Mbeki and his plans

Its about time black people wake the f*** up and smell Mbekis' (ANC) shit......u dont mess with him and his plans of the 3rd term presidency....his plans of making South Africa the most powerful country in Africa at the expense of the poor African countries.....his plans of making sure that no one in the ANC goes againts anything he says.

General Discussion / White women on top
« on: July 18, 2007, 10:21:48 AM »
The government must probe whether white women should continue to benefit from black empowerment policies, the head of the employment equity commission said yesterday.

Jimmy Manyi, the chairman of the commission, told reporters that the official body would ask legislators next month to review whether white women should benefit from affirmative action.

White women, who made up 5.5 percent of the economically active population, held 14.7 percent of the executive management positions in 4 380 companies surveyed, Manyi said. They occupied 19.2 percent of senior management posts and made up 22.2 percent of middle managers, he added.

"We are asking the question: 'Should white women continue to be in the definition of the previously disadvantaged?'," Manyi said. "The biggest beneficiaries of employment equity [policies] have been white women."

In 2005 De Beers sold 8 percent of its local business to four women, including Wendy Lucas-Bull, a white South African who was the chief executive of retail banking at FirstRand.

Labour minister Membathisi Mdladlana told journalists yesterday that the consequences of not improving the contribution of black people to the economy were "too ghastly to imagine".

"If employment equity isn't implemented, reconciliation will be affected," the minister said. "We want an orderly process of transformation in the country." - Bloomberg
