ATM bombings 'very concerning'

2007-12-19 17:23

Johannesburg

Standard Bank expressed concern on Wednesday over the high number of ATM bombings in the last few weeks.

In the last two weeks, two of the banks ATMs were bombed in Eldorado Park, one at a petrol station, one at a shopping centre, and another at a petrol station in Dube, Soweto.

In the latest incident a Standard Bank ATM was bombed at a petrol station in Vereeniging in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

It is believed three armed men forced petrol attendants to lay on the ground, while they attached an explosive device to the ATM, said police spokesperson Captain William Mcera.

"When the device exploded, police nearby went to investigate, the men fled the scene and no money was taken. There were no reported injuries," said Mcera.

Although there were reports of another two bombings, these could not be confirmed by police.

Spokesperson for Standard Bank, Ross Linstrom, said the bank was "very concerned" about the recent spate of attacks and that "active measures" had been taken to curb the attacks.

"We will be working with various role players in this regard," he said.

Linstrom also cautioned all bank clients to be especially vigilant when banking during the festive season.

"Especially when drawing money, customers need to be aware and cautious. Never accept help from someone when drawing money and be careful not to give out your online banking details," he said.

$48m jet 'not a luxury'

2007-12-19 14:18

Kampala - Uganda's government is to buy a $48.2m Gulfstream jet for President Yoweri Museveni, media reported on Wednesday, and critics questioned whether the poor east African country could afford it.

A committee of lawmakers endorsed the proposal, moving it closer to parliamentary approval, the state-owned New Vision newspaper said.

Officials were not immediately available for comment.

"We believe this is not a luxury for the president. It is a national asset," parliamentary committee chairperson Mary Karooro was quoted in the New Vision as saying.

Karooro said the new plane would require less fuel than Museveni's existing presidential jet, need fewer inspections and stopovers on long-haul flights and be cheaper to maintain.

Critics denounced the purchase as greed in an impoverished nation where the average wage is $300 per year.

"Why should a leader of a poor country fly a jet when leaders of some of the industrialised countries he begs from travel on commercial flights?" the Weekly Observer wrote in an editorial.

Karooro said the government would either take out a loan from HSBC at 10% to buy the plane or borrow $28m from the central bank, the rest of the cost being covered by proceeds from the sale of his existing jet.

Museveni's frequent use of his presidential jet has sparked controversy in the past.

In 2003, he enraged critics by using it to fly his daughter to a hospital in Germany so she could give birth, at a cost of $30 000 to the taxpayer.

Meine Tochter ist nun 18 Jahre und im Januar fuer einen Monat in London. Mein Sohn ist im Mai 16 und beide sagen jetzt schon sie wollen raus aus RSA da sie jetzt schon spueren man ist zweiter Klasse als Weisser.
Nur als Beispiel, ein weisser der 87 Punkte beim Abitur geschafft hat wird abgelehnt von der Uni und ein schwarzer mit 56 Punkten angenommen.
Weisse Studenten die als Kellner arbeiten wollen nimmt man fast nicht mehr da man schwarze einstellen muss die alles vergessen nachdem man bestellt hat.

I'm ready when they are ready to go, its over for all white people.
Apartheid in reverse and nobody cares now.
Der ganzen Anti Apartheid Lobby koennte ich auf die Fresse hauen.

'Zuma is for the poor' :D...so wird man gewaehlt...

2007-12-19 13:48

Johannesburg

Some want to leave the country. Others say South Africa would at long last have a leader who cares for the poor.

These were some of the responses of Johannesburg residents approached on Wednesday about Jacob Zuma's election as new African National Congress president.

Mandy John, 25, from Braamfontein said she did not want to live in the country any longer.

"I am going to leave. How can a man who has no morals become a president of the ANC? What type of a role model will he be for youngsters?"

John Lempe, 31, asked for his reaction in Roserbank Mall, said: "Zuma is not like Mbeki who is for the elite. Zuma is for the poor."

Anna Seleka, 61, of Parkview said she did not want Zuma to win.

"The problem with him is that he could face serious charges. What will the international community say ... when he is elected president of the country in two years?"

'What will he teach people?'

Hilton Rogers, 24, had a more qualified response.

"Zuma is inconsistent. Maybe if he becomes consistent, then something positive would come out of this whole thing," said Rogers.

Sixteen-year-old Lana Kotoglou of Rosebank expressed concern over the impact of comments made by Zuma during his rape trial last year.

"What will he teach people? That they can sleep with people who have HIV/Aids without protection and take a shower afterwards?" she asked.

"Zuma should never have been elected president of the ANC, and I definitely would not like to see him as president of the country."

Sandile Mntambo, 25, said he was solidly behind the new ANC president.

'He can make a difference'

"I'm relieved and happy because I wanted Zuma to win the elections," he said.

"I believe he can make a difference in the country, especially with the issue of illegal migrants coming into country and causing chaos."

Several residents showed no interest in Zuma's election.

"Politicians are just getting richer while the people on the street suffer. I don't care who the next ANC president is," Raven Govender of Lenasia said.

Zuma toppled Thabo Mbeki as ANC leader on Tuesday night, beating him with 2 329 votes against 1 505 at the party's elective conference in Polokwane, Limpopo.

SA heads into uncertainty

2007-12-19 09:03

Polokwane

Left-wing populist Jacob Zuma has won the leadership of the ruling ANC, lining him up for the presidency of the country but creating deep uncertainty about his policies.

The African National Congress dominates South African politics, so Zuma is almost certain to become head of state when his ousted ANC rival, Thabo Mbeki, has to step down as president in 2009.

Zuma's win on Tuesday raises the question of whether Mbeki will become a lame-duck president, paralysing decision-making because the country's two most powerful posts will be split between rivals once united in the fight against apartheid.

Corruption charges

Adding to the uncertainty, Zuma could face revived corruption charges in an arms scandal, raising the possibility that he could be jailed before he succeeds to the presidency.

"We can anticipate this conflict extending over the next two years. It is going to be particularly precarious when Jacob Zuma gets charged, if he does get charged over the corruption scandal," said political analyst Adam Habib.

Senior ANC officials said Zuma's election was unlikely to lead to a shift in economic policy. "At the moment, there are no ideological differences ... The policy is in place and intact," said ANC deputy leader Kgalema Motlanthe.

Some analysts had raised concerns Zuma would tilt Africa's largest economy to the left, although he has tried to reassure investors. Mbeki took a pro-business stance and the economy has registered its longest period of growth in the past nine years.

Market reaction to Zuma's win was muted. The rand was about two cents firmer, trading at 6.8999 against the dollar two hours after the results were released.

Fears of a move to the left

"The focus now is going to be on learning about Zuma's vision for the country and his likely choices for close political and economic advisers," said Absa Capital's head of research, Jeff Gable.

Some investors were worried Zuma would tip policies towards those of his staunch supporters, the country's powerful trade unions and Communist Party, who have railed against Mbeki's pro-business stance.

Trade union federation Cosatu has called on the government to loosen monetary policy and increase spending to bring the benefits of an economic boom to millions of poor and unemployed.

But Motlanthe said the new ANC leadership would not be in debt to the unions. "There is no room for payback ... basic policy will not change," he said.

There are fears a leadership paralysis could delay action to deal with the country's Aids crisis, one of the world's worst crime rates and poverty that still blights the lives of millions of blacks more than a decade after the end of apartheid.

Hi Spica

Meine Frage hast wieder nicht beantwortet, Euch muss man alles aus der Nase ziehen. Mit das sehe ich anders ist die nicht beantwortet.
Das einzige was ich von dir weiss ist das ab 2008 Gold steigt, 12 Jahre guenstig steht fuer Gold und dreimal Pluto die FED aergert in 2008.. bis jetzt.

Ich denke mir mal wenn alle Astrologen diskutieren kommt gar nichts mehr raus weil jeder einen anderen Blickwinkel und Meinung hat.
Der eine hat das Buch von Weiss als Grundlage, der andere ein Buch aus China, beide sagen du hast den falschen Lehrmeister und bist ein Depp.
Ich glaube das gibt es nicht das eine Astrologe sich vom anderen beraten laesst weil jeder seinen Stolz obendrauf noch hat und sich ungern ""belehren"" laesst.

Nehmen wir mal den Mahendra, ueber den lacht man oft hat er aber Recht, siehe diese USD Rally. Aber vielleicht sagte die FED ihm das.
Mir gehts darum das man hier ungefaehrt auf einen Nenner kommt bzw. Richtlinie und Zeitfenster zum planen.

China Man sagt:

a) Should the neutral players join Saturn, there is inflation.
b) Should the neutral players join Jupiter, there is deflation.
c) Planetary influence is more powerful than sign influence.
d) In conflicts among planets, Jupiter wins.....THE BOSS !

Hier nochmal der link zu Mr.Wong, 2004 hat er den Artikel geschrieben.
Mit den Daten kann ich nichts anfangen, schau mal nach wie der rechnet.

http://www.321gold.com/editorials/wong/wong010104.html

http://www.321gold.com/editorials/wong/wong030504.html

Der eine sagt Jupiter, der andere Saturn, der andere weiss ich was wer den USD oder Gold darstellt.

Goetterscheisse sagten die Indianer zu Gold und die glauben es ist die Sonne die Gold darstellt.

Alle liegen sie falsch, es ist kein Planet der den USD darstellt naehmlich unser Heli Ben.

Und Jupiter Ben Bernanke haut Euch immer wieder die Rechnung und Zeitfenster kaputt, so schauts aus.

Wann stirbt die FED eigentlich, astrologisch gesehen, gibt es davon Daten oder Vorraussagen ???

Einige beten jetzt schon......

Ich kann mir vorstellen das es so kommt wie der andere Astrologe sagt.

Von Januar bis mitte August sieht man die Risse in der Wand und im November 2008 bis .2009........ fallt die um und viel Fiatgeld wird wertloser.....die Angst kommt auf, wohin fluechten ? ...in Sach und Handelswerte wie Gold z.B.

Die Hyperinflation beginnt in 2009, die Rache von Confetti Money.

Hoechste Kriegs/gefahr mitte 2009 im nahen Osten mit Iran oder Syria in erster Linie werden ebenso Auswirkungen zeigen.(Nostradamus 2009 - 2012 Krieg)

Die Risse sieht man in der zweiten Jahreshaelfte 2008 ob ein Krieg stattfindet wegen Oil und allen Rohstoffen der Erde der schon laengst im Gange ist, still und heimlich im Namen der Demokratie und Benzin-Freiheit.

Ab 2010 wird ein neuer Standard oder Waehrung verlangt werden, diesmal mit einem ""backing"" wie Gold z.B. um den USD/Euro/Yen ??? zu retten

Den Amero Dollar haetten sie ja gern bei Nuts- Bush, ein Gold Dollar muss her und Ron Paul als President der mit der FED aufraeumt.

Eine neue Waehrung kommt, dann machen sie den selben trick wieder bis ein Heli Ben wieder auf der Buehne erscheint.

Die Welt wir wie sie kennen ist ganz anders mitte 2012, ich nehme den Maya Kalender her zur Abwechslung.

Spica,was sagst du zu dem Zeitfenster ?..2010 - 2012 sollte der run fuer Gold sein IMO mit Ziel > 3000 USD spaetestens bis 2018 meinetwegen.

""Wenn Pluto etwa in den Jahren 2022/23 in das Zeichen Wassermann (Uranus) wandern wird, ist die Chance für einen revolutionären Neubeginn gegeben.

......(Xtragold)

Gnight...ich bin gespannt wie das ausgeht.

'Investors are concerned'

2007-12-18 19:41

Polokwane

South Africa's ruling Africa National Congress is unlikely to change economic policy regardless of who wins the leadership, a senior official said on Tuesday.

A heated leadership battle at an ANC congress in this northern town is expected to end on Tuesday with the ousting of President Thabo Mbeki by party deputy leader Jacob Zuma.

If Zuma wins, he is likely to succeed Mbeki as head of state in 2009 and some investors fear he will tilt the booming economy to the left.

ANC Secretary General Kgalema Motlanthe said economic policy was up to the decision-making body of the party, the National Executive Council (NEC), which did not have differences.

"At the moment, there are no ideological differences. The differences are based on personalities and will not impact on policy at all. The policy is in place and intact," he told reporters.

Motlanthe is the favourite to become the party's deputy president, enjoying support from both the Zuma and Mbeki camps.

Some investors have raised concerns that a Zuma win could see economic policy shift towards his staunch backers, the trade unions and Communist Party.

Motlanthe said the trade union federation Cosatu could not vote in the election.

"There is no room for payback...Cosatu has no voting rights so there is no way they can claim 'we put you there'" he said.

"Investors are concerned... (but) basic policy will not change. The NEC sub-committee on economics pays attention to these issues," Motlanthe said.

Earlier, Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils also said economic policy would not change under Zuma.

"Whoever is elected is bound by policy of this conference," he said.

Mbeki is unpopular with the party rank and file for business-friendly policies they believe have delayed delivery of the fruits of majority rule to millions of poor blacks.

Zuma has stressed he will not deviate from ANC policy, and analysts say markets are prepared for his probable victory.

Cosatu has called on the government to loosen monetary policy and ramp up spending to help spread the benefits of an economic boom to millions of poor and unemployed people.

Senior officials including Finance Minister Trevor Manuel and central bank Governor Tito Mboweni have said in the past that South Africa will continue on its economic path regardless of who wins the ANC's top post.

...Hyperinflation escalates in 2007. [Uranus Conjunction North Node] in Pisces (Note 10) is followed by [Sat Opposition North Node] along Virgo-Pisces (Note 11).

The gap (absence of inflationary aspects) in 2008 of 9 months (January-September) may mean temporary cessation or deceleration of price increases (See Note 3 for comparison). As the gap is narrow, adjustment if any will be mild.

Hyperinflation rages from October 2008 to October 2009 on root cause [Uranus Opposition Saturn] along Pisces-Virgo (Note 12).

From April 2009, deflationary forces are emitted from [Neptune Conjunction Jupiter] in Aquarius (Note 13), to counteract inflation. Jupiter shows its prowess by lining up with Neptune, but it does not confront the root cause. Interpretation: lack of resolve by US Government in 2009 to tackle Hyperinflation although she intervenes in the financial markets.

By the end of 2009, the US dollar is reduced to ashes, and Gold soars to stratosphere.

BATTLE GALACTICA 2010

But there is an abrupt change in year 2010. Jupiter comes to rescue.
Jupiter is by far the biggest planet in the solar system. Its mass dwarfs the combined masses of all the other planets (the Sun excluded). A battle is being waged in 2010 between Jupiter and Saturn by Opposition (Jupiter fights Saturn which is at the opposite side of the circle).

At the start of year 2010, Jupiter is at Aquarius 26.4 degrees. It moves rapidly to enter Pisces in the third week of January and in the short space of 4 months 23 days it traverses 31.5 degrees to reach (on 23 May) the opposite point of Saturn (Saturn stays at Virgo 27.9 degrees). A battle between Jupiter and Saturn has begun. To commence the combat, Jupiter has traveled at nearly 3 times its normal speed to reach the battleground. Normal speed is to travel 30 degrees in 12 months. This indicates the US Government is acting expeditiously and decisively to tackle the USD disaster. (Comparison: irresolution in 2009).

For 4 months (May-August), they are on opposite positions in a tug of war contest, consuming each other's energy. During this period, Uranus joins Jupiter in the first degrees of Aries (see table above). With the help of Uranus, Jupiter vanquishes Saturn.

Jupiter (USD) the Almighty giant planet emerges victorious. The defeat of Saturn (Satan or anti-USD) has been vividly recorded by John Milton in Paradise Lost Book I:

With the downfall or demise of anti-USD, does it foretell the rebirth of USD?

Yes. A new US dollar.

I think the fundamentals are extremely strong for at least the next five to seven years, if not longer, and that we will see prices from 90 to 120 dollars per pound :(....throughout that period.
