Top Story: National Treasury praises DA run City of Cape Town

A recent report by the National Treasury, confirmed that the City of Cape Town attained its sixth successive unqualified audit. Tim Harris MP, DA Member of the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) said that the report showed how well the City of Cape Town was doing, in terms of its quality service delivery, sound financial planning and good governance.

The National Treasury’s mid year budget and performance assessment praised the City’s “robust financial systems” and welcomed the “good planning and adequate capacity to spend by the City”, said Harris.

The report also welcomed the creation of 10,000 permanent jobs (and 16 300 temporary jobs), in spite of the economic recession. Statistics South Africa recently indicated that between the last quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, the unemployment rate in the DA-governed Western Cape had fallen by more than 1%. No doubt, the City of Cape Town’s strong job creation record played a large part in this, said Harris.

Global Credit Rating (GCR) also awarded the City of Cape Town, one of the highest possible long term debt ratings of AA- this year. This was the highest credit rating that was achieved in the municipalities reviewed by GCR, and placed the City of Cape Town ahead of Buffalo City, the City of Johannesburg, the City of Tshwane, Nelson Mandela Bay and a host of other ANC run metros, stated Harris.

Harris welcomed the findings and said that the Treasury’s report stood out as testament to the DA’s excellent track record in government and the City’s financial planning capabilities and service delivery standards, serving as further proof that the DA was now both a party of government and the only other meaningful alternative to the ANC which continued to deliver on its promises to voters.

The fact that the ANC Youth League have to resort to breaking down toilets should tell us something about this scenario.

The Belgians were kicked out of the Congo in the first half of 1960 so they have been independent for over 50 years. The one thing that they do not need is aid as they are an extremely wealthy country resource wise. What is holding them back is plain tribalism and lack of a decent work ethic.

just like the congo and other rich in mineral resources african countries...

after doing some research into the congo and why the county is the way it is...i found that the only reason the country is in such a bad state...is because the so called 1st world countries need the resources so they pump 100s of millions of dollars worth of arms and ammunition into the country to keep it unstable...and only a small amount of actual aid like food and medicine.

with the fighting going on they can move in and clean out the resources and probably dump what waste they need to...just like the oil in the middle east...its all about the money...they have absolutley no interest in the well being og the local population...they leave that for the rich and famous movie stars etc to make themselve look good by offer aid...feel good projects...if they were so heart set on doing good they would go live there and make a difference.

the same with this country...if they can destablise this countries and get a war going here they will stop us from benefiting from our own resourses...instead offer julius and his band of merry men a small incentive...a couple of million to retire and safety...then take what they want...one of those things is gona be clean water.

why do you think mugabe is still alive only because the 1st world countries want him around...he is a front doing their dirty work and slowing down the removing of valuable resouces...it is not about the people...just the greed...if they didnt want mugabe around they could take him out from a ship in the indian ocean...with all the technology and arms they have.

anyway this is my opinion...i might be way off the mark...but at face value this is what i see.

You dont only have to research the Congo. Look at all the resource rich countries that were exploited around the world. The assasination of Patrice Lumumba was a precursor to the "take over" of the Congo.

The Middle East is kept unstable, to keep the oil flowing at reasonable prices.

Coming back to the tribal/ethnic conflict. Tribes are not killing each other with machetes and spears, but AK47. Ever heard of the instance where smugglers were caught of the coast of Sierra Leonne smuggling modern weapons.
Of course tribal conflict is real, but it is no doubt inflamed by secret organisations.

Poor resource third world countries know peace, but as soon as oil or other minerals are discovered, war flares up!

But then again, minerals are just part of the plot. It goes much deeper. Far from being an instrument in the New World Order, Africa is actually an obstacle, since she has not attained the technological advancement, necessary for the implementation of the One World Government.

We as the PEOPLE of this country are the only ones that can topple a government by voting the right people in. Malema is the one the ANC uses to gain access to the other provinces and to get people voting for the ANC. The ANC wants to take over the entire country and in so doing, will then turn South Africa into another Zimbabwe. This was predicted, and the person who predicted the many things that has already happened in SA, said this would happen, and then a person would bring this all out of Civil War. I have already started collecting strategic information on this country. You will be surprised as to how much we can do without the government even knowing, and what a person can bring into this country without the government knowing. And the necessary information for strategic strikes have already been given to the USA. A few people I randomly met, that are in the military have marked strategic sites for removal.
And at the end of the day, I keep saying to everyone, stop blabbing, and do something about the problem, as all that everyone does, is argue and throw words and yet, while that happens, the ruling party sneaks in behind you without you knowing, because we are all to busy keeping our attention on arguments that they used to distract us from their actual plans. We need to wake up and see their plans, and find out what is being planned, not argue with everyone. That merely create more problems and then we get nowhere.

[phoenixfire]

Previous comment was a bit carried away. But if you think about it. The US, UK, and China have been called in before by other countires to help with unrest and problems. And as South Africa provides some of the largest natural mineral resources in the world, I am not surprised at someone trying to get their dirty littel hands on it. And I do believe that the continuous unrest being maintained in the middle east is to keep prices lowish. However, there will always be a power struggle for the richest oils, mines, businesses, and so on. There will be a fight and a so called "New World Order" will attempt to gain world control, but does that not sound like the coming of the end? There was a set of books written and even movies made of this occurance happening, but of course they had a rather demonic person (Possessed Person) at the center of it all, and that person was the head of the UN. I have a few question regarding what is infact happening in SA.
One of those are, "Why do we allow the government to get away with what they are doing?" We are the people who can stop it by truly standing together and voting with a great big single voice and giving another party a chance to gain enough power to oppose the ANC and ANCYL. Why do we just complain and do nothing about it? And to be honest, if the ANC stuck with the way Mandela wanted things to be, it would have been better than it is now. As it is Nelson Mandela publicly voiced his disappointment in what the ANC has become. There is no longer equality, which is what was being fought for, there is now only reverse aparheid occuring. The ANC are implementing the same apartheid laws as it was 40 years ago that they fought to bannish, and now they are holding the new generations resposible and reaking revenge on the new generations of other races and their own generation is being shown the ways of violence and therefore will only know violence as they grow up. And we the people let this happen. It has been predicted that there will be civil war in SA before a new peaceful government takes control. Now another question, "Are we going to stand by as the people of SA and let this happen to our country?" Are we going to let it be distroyed by simple, dishonorable, violent, arrogant, disgraceful, unthankful, disrespectful people? What are we going to do?

[Adiel]

Malema ... he appeals to the uneducated mind. Psychology of a society and an individual... misinterpretered as a fighter for the weak or a fool in search of power.By listening to this CAVEman people lose hope cause certainly his ideoligies lie with Uncle Bobs teachings .
If the other parties want to have a say they need to make a positive contribution ... build RDP houses . He can't nationalise this now can he ? ANC promissed houses ... where are they and who lives in them ?

[sgafc]

Will the UN or US save us?

Never! The agenda unfolding on our continent is going according to plan(International Corporations), albeit with difficulty. The UN is behind the conflicts on the globe. Either by refusing to intervene, or further stoking up the fires of hatred.

The very same UN(and USA), folded their arms when people were dying in third world countries. "Democracy" in South Africa, only happened because they sanctioned it! The timing was right.

South Africa was and will never be owned by the ANC, or the people, Black or white. The entire economy is controlled from the outside, overtly and covertly.And economic control is essentially political control.

Think this is rubbish? Take a closer look at the the shareholding of so called local corporates, and all those multinational corporations that listed(actually sold out!) in London. Even the reserve bank has foreign shareholders.

Vividly recall reading a prospectus of a London coal mutinational, and noticed that 90% of the directorships were foreign, and oh! 90% of the coal was also exported to foreign countries. So we essentially exporting money and resources, leaving South Africa with crumbs, ... the very same crumbs, which Black and White people are now fighting over.

We should have looked at the bigger picture, but we refuse to. Result is growing racial tension and economic anarchy...Exactly as planned...

Freedom of Speech in SA Corporates

A number of high profile corporates have banned e-mails that is critical of Zuma and Malema1

While the media is exposing all it could find, and following Malema like puppies, Free Speech is restricted in SA Corporates. This is obviously, NOT TO OFFEND the sensitive ANC Directors and BEE Network Partners.

My Point here is the sucking up to the ANC by Corporates who did the same with the National Party. Big Business are lackeys of the Government(or I think it is the other way around).

Non of the BEE Billionaires will last a day in the shoes of entrepreneurs on this forum or in REAL business. The issue however is not race or BEE, it is the politicians and elite that has been placed in huge corporates. Why?

I urge people to do independant research. The corruption goes beyond the ANC.

[wynn]

absolutely!!!

[tec0]

sgafc >> The World Domination Plan aka conspiracy aside, I would love to know why? Why hurt everybody why so much suffering... Yes it is true oil pumped out of the ground is worth more than human life.

So let’s say it is over, humanity is hopelessly enslaved and the powerful has it all... Now what? Life was supposed to be a gift and this world was supposed to be our home. People are afraid our gods hesitant and then you have this total and utter hopelessness.

My question is what will be next? Or will we become the void

[sgafc]

Freewill

@Teco...I also get upset with many conspiracy theorist for all the doom and gloom predictions...no solutions.

Conspiracies aside... No government, no individual is responsible for our state. They might have caused it...and yes Julius Malema is frustrating us...or even better still, that referee AWARDING A PENALTY TO URUGAY IN THE BAFANA MATCH We remain responsible.

Every day we are faced with choices, varying from two to hundreds. We tend to gravitate towards the easy choice, that fits in exactly with our life plan..but rarely notice that"easy choices", ie selecting the same leaders, doing
things the "natural way" actually contribute to a hard life.

It is when we make an unconventional choice, which requires willpower, that we truly enjoy the benefits.OK simply put "You are stuck n heavy traffic, you can choose to become angry, which will mess up your entire day OR you can enjoy the ride, listen to some music, and seek out beautiful scenary around you". Wanna bet me that the second choice will not brighten up your day? Yes it is difficult, it is much easier to scream at all the silly drivers causing the gridlock, it takes willpower to relax, but will have greater benefits in the end.

We can extrapolate that to the bigger scanario of politics and sport as well.

PS. Bafana can Blame the ref as much as they want. They did not play that match with Uruguay with much vigour

Here There be Monsters!

I've always maintained that the political deterioration in our Country has a far sinister (did I get the spelling right) reasoning. It's not just the ANC adopting a "reversed rasism" approach.

Governments outside our economy are having a field day, and more scary, it's all going according to plan...

If you dig deep enough, you will eventually find the one (Government) behind it all, China would still get my vote, they are influencing every world economy.

[phoenixfire]

China is influencing many economy's. It follows the exact plans of the way things will be. However, I find that it is the absolute laziness of the people in this country that is so surprising. No one is actually making an effort to pick a government, they just pick the same one and hope for the best. If they continue, everything in SA will nationalize, and there will no longer be freedom of speech, democracy, or even the ability to own a business. The government will force you to give your business to them or you will be forced to close your business by government. There is nothing that can be done, UNLESS, we the people of this country (South Africa) stand up and quit being a bunch of lazy asses and do something about it, and yes I agree with SGAFC, it does not always help to get angry (Sometimes it does maybe, pending on the scenario), but in this case not really. We need to get off our lazy collective asses and do something about it. There is a saying, an old one at that, "get smart and even, not stupid and angry". Strangely enough, its also from a person of Asian decent (Japanese). We have more ingenuity in our small fingers that many people do, but yet we moan and groan and waist our time complaining about people we cannot change unless we climb in and do something. I have started doing something from my side. And simply showing which ideas are more beneficial in my instance, make people changes their minds. Which is what I learned and trained for. So, what is the message you say, "get smart and even, not stupid and angry".

[Dave A]

The government will force you to give your business to them or you will be forced to close your business by government.

Or "your" business will simply become an extension of government...

I look at the dictates that come from government as to how business owners are expected to conduct their affairs. Lots are fair enough such as tax issues, environmental issues, worker safety issues.

But some of these dictates are crossing a line that shouldn't be crossed.

Probably not the right thread to go into details, but there seems to be very little thought put into the "rights" of business owners at times.

Who's money and future is really being put on the line in a business venture?

China Friend or Foe

I wish to give my thanks for all the Forum members who have got involved in this topic. It is strange how it has covered almost the whole spectrum of issues that concern us as South Africans. China has now surfaced which is one that frightens me. China is a world economic force and we need to look at the reason why. They have a very large "captive work force, highly productive and grossly under paid" Because of this they are manufacturing brand names for the world at very low prices. The Americans and Europeans are using China to manufacture goods for them. The paw paw will eventually strike the fan when this slumbering giant of a work force set about liberating themselves. This will happen whether it takes five or fifty years. What will happen then is that Chinese goods will escalate in price and possibility throw the whole world economy into turmoil.
The Chinese need our raw materials and are involved in all sorts of projects in the whole of Africa to try and secure them. They have taken over a controlling interest in some of the Samancor Chrome mines in the Steelpoort area. Dilokong Mine and Chrome Works in the same area belongs to ASA Metals which is Chinese.
Take a walk through your own towns and cities and count the "Chinese Shops" and I am sure you will get a fright.
Economics or whatever you want to call it is what controls our world today. I think it was John Malthus who gave a definition of economics as " The study of the wants of man and the satisfaction of these wants"
Back to my friend Julius Malema. He wants to take us into a state controlled economy but with their record of ill discipline and non existent work ethic this will never stand a chance. Hopefully he will not get away with executing people in the "public square" for dissenting
