# The South African National Defence Force says it has noted the series of viral videos circulating on various platforms showing misleading content about the force. The videos portray the SANDF as disorganised and ill-disciplined. The SANDF’s, Prince Tshabalala, says the propaganda videos are further meant to demoralise the country’s dedicated military professionals:
# AfriForum sê daar is geen regsgronde vir die aanklag van hoogverraad wat die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag ondersoek nie. Die Valke het Maandag onthul vier dossiere van hoogverraad is geopen, blykbaar teen AfriForum en Solidariteit, oor die vermeende verspreiding van waninligting. Die organisasies het onlangs met die Trump-administrasie in Washington vergader oor Suid-Afrika se onteieningsbeleid en […]
# The Public Servants Association is urging government to prioritise national security by increasing budget allocations for the South African National Defence Force, Police, Health, and other essential departments. This comes after SANDF Lieutenant-General, Peter Ntshavheni Maphaha, recently highlighted the vulnerabilities created by inadequate border protection, leaving South Africans exposed to security threats. PSA’s, Claude […]
# Die parlementêre komitee oor Samewerkende Regering se voorsitter, Zweli Mkhize, het kommer uitgespreek omdat die meeste munisipaliteite nie betalingsooreenkomste met grootmaatdiensverskaffers soos Eskom en waterrade nakom nie. Munisipaliteite skuld Eskom altesaam 94-miljard-rand, en een van die grootste oortreders is die Maluti-a-Phofung Munisipaliteit in die Vrystaat wat nege-miljard-rand skuld. Mkhize sê die enorme Eskom-skuld word […]
# Die parlementêre komitee oor Samewerkende Regering se voorsitter, Zweli Mkhize, sê ʼn verhoging in BTW moet slegs ʼn laaste uitweg wees. Die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, se begrotingsrede is verlede maand uitgestel nadat talle kabinetsministers gekant was teen ʼn BTW-verhoging van twee persentasiepunte. Mkhize sê ʼn BTW-verhoging sal die armes die swaarste tref […]
# AfriForum says there are no legal grounds for the treason charges the National Prosecuting Authority is investigating. On Monday, the Hawks revealed that four dockets of high treason have been opened, understood to be against AfriForum and Solidarity, over the spread of misleading information. The organisations recently met with the Trump administration in Washington over […]
# Parliament’s Cooperative Governance committee chairperson, Zweli Mkhize, has expressed concern that most municipalities are not honouring payment arrangements with suppliers of bulk services like Eskom and Water Boards. Municipalities collectively owe Eskom 94-billion-rand, with one of the worst offenders being the Maluti-a-Phofung Municipality in the Free State, which owes nine-billion-rand. Mkhize says the massive Eskom […]
# Parliament’s Cooperative Governance committee chairperson, Zweli Mkhize, says increasing the value-added tax rate should only be implemented as a last resort. Last month, Finance minister Enoch Godongwana’s budget speech was postponed after several cabinet ministers objected to a proposal to increase VAT by two percentage points. Mkhize says a VAT increase will hit the […]
# Die Landdroshof in Mamelodi, Tshwane, het beslis dat die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag die koste van AfriForum se privaat vervolgingseenheid moet betaal nadat Irvin Ngobeni skuldig bevind is aan aanranding op sy buurvrou, Nthabiseng Sebothoma. Ngobeni is ‘n opgeskorte vonnis van drie maande opgelê. Gerrie Nel van AfriForum beskryf die uitspraak as ‘n mylpaal en wys […]
