    It is a serious matter of national security in the form of very poor security, and it is an intelligence nightmare. But that’s how it is folks...

    It looks like one thing our government has mastered really well is the passing of hot potatoes...

    Do you see anyone losing their job over this debacle?

    Nope, but maybe someone will get to go on suspension at full pay in the Bahamas for about 4-years?

    What we are witnessing is the same thing that happened in Zim, Zambia , Malawi. It is simply the death of Demo-crazy.

    Demo-crazy= Democracy is a means for the people to choose their leaders and to hold their leaders accountable for their policies and their conduct in office.

    Step one fight for Majority Rule
    Step two ignore the majority and move to one party state.
    Step three shut up the press
    Step four shut down all opposition
    Step five find someone to blame for your faults
    Step Six ensure it is not votes that count but he who counts the votes count
    Step Seven Change rule of law to your rule

    Rule forever and engage in full corruption, nepotism at the expense of the country.


    So what happens to the Majority as you witness the death of Demo-crazy
    You might be going through this
    The five stages of death
    1.Denial(SA will never be like Zim)
    2. Anger ( this is the stage we mostly at)
    3. Bargaining (Okay steal what you want, but at least give 10% work for it)
    4. Depression
    5. Acceptance( Get on with your own life, demcrazy is dead and you just have to accept it)

    The arrogance of this response riles me.
    South Africans should be thankful for the investment the Gupta family is bringing to the country, businessman Atul Gupta said.
    Gupta said he did not understand why there was a concern about the landing of an aircraft chartered by the family at Waterkloof Air Force Base on Tuesday.

    "I don't know what they want.... The airplane had permission. No airplane in the world can land without permission."

    Several government departments have denied giving clearance for the jet to land at the base.

    The departments have launched separate investigations into the matter. Times live link
    A little humility goes a long way Mr. Gupta!
    Only stress when you can change the outcome!

    Sometimes organizations need to remove a really damaging news item from the public so they create a new news item to remove the old.

    What is name of the Indian High Commissioner to South Africa who contacted Water-kloof Airbase?

    Virendra Gupta

    Is there any family relationship to Atul Gupta?

    I’m sure that this is just an innocent coincidence !!!

    It just proves when you got money and the right connections anything is possible, even hiring a military base in South Africa

    You all are just jealous
