30-day Countdown to War

Mar 11, 2007

We are almost certainly in the last days of a countdown to nuclear war. Israel has made plans to attack Iran in a war of aggression, which will probably begin with some staged attack such as the attack on the Liberty in 1967.
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ussliberty.html

Bush and the Gang of Fools in Washington will be part of it; we don't have two carrier groups in the Middle East to support tourism. When it happens, kiss the dollar and the United States of America goodbye. If you don't own gold now, buy some fairly soon. My experience as a combat intelligence officer tells me the attack will be in the next month.

On the 8th of March Israel issued the following warning.

"• 5. Updated Travel Warnings
Israel's National Security Council Counter-Terrorism Division presents the following updated travel warnings for Israelis traveling abroad. It is advised that travelers should avoid visiting and leave the area as soon as possible in the following high to very high-threat countries: Algeria, Afghanistan, Chechnya, (southern Russia) Djibouti, Egypt, (especially the Sinai peninsula), Jordan, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kashmir (northern India), Lebanon Malaysia, Mindanao, (southern Philippines) Northern Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia Southern Thailand, Syria & Yemen. Travelers should postpone non-essential travel to: Bangladesh, Bangkok, Libya, Oman, Nigeria & southeastern Turkey (borders with Iraq and Iran). Travelers in general, should avoid visiting the following countries: Bahrain, Chad, Kenya, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar, Tunisia. Israeli citizens are called upon to be especially cautious when visiting: Philippines, Turkey, Thailand, & Uzbekistan. (Sources: National Security Council Counter-Terrorism Division, GPO)."

Israel is the most hated country in the world today for their war crimes and they are about to magnify the problem 1000 fold. I cannot predict the negative things which will happen as a result of another illegal and immoral war but dropping nuclear weapons on a non-nuclear state which poses no threat to either the US or Israel is going to open Pandora's box as no war crime in history ever tried.

One of the results I can guarantee is that the US dollar is going to be destroyed. It's no great shakes predicting that. Hell, even the Comptroller General of the United States is running around telling as many people as will listen (about 14 in total, I reckon) that the United States is bankrupt. Between a two-trillion-dollar-losing war in Iraq, a balance of payments totally out of control and the Gang of Fools in Washington, you can pretty much kiss the dollar goodbye the day the attack begins. And don't think for a minute I'm talking about strictly the Republican fools in Washington. By their actions, or better yet, lack of action, the Democrats have proven since the last election that they can be just as corrupt and ignorant as the neo-Nazi Republicans.

The American people clearly voted against the illegal war in Iraq and against the policies of this all too corrupt administration. Guess how thrilled the voters are going to be when they wake up one morning soon to $200 a barrel oil and find out just how much freedom they have left. (Hint, it rhymes with NONE)

Israel knows what their intentions are and it's no accident that they are warning their citizens to stay out or to get out of almost 40 countries immediately. As hated as they are today, Israel and the United States are about to commit the most foolish and self-destructive act of war in history. I have more time in the chow hall in combat than all of this administration combined and I can assure you that we are going to lose. It won't talk six months as it did with Iraq, we will know almost at once.

It wasn't Hitler who paid the greatest price for the war crimes he committed; it was the German people. And today it will be the citizens of Israel and the United States who will pay the ultimate price for what is no more than cold-blooded murder of millions. The butcher's bill will be paid.

@ Lucky

The three minutes management course, das gehoert eigentlich im Witz thread und sollte eher ein Anhang an dein Posting sein.

Lesson 1

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is
finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The
wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs
downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob,
the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob
says, "I'll give you £800 to drop that towel." After
thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and
stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob
hands her £800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in
the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to
the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?" "It
was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about
the £800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit
and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in
a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed
her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest
nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he
stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,
"Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his
hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up
her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father,
remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologised "Sorry
sister but the flesh is weak." Arriving at the
convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at
the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129.
It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find
glory."

Moral of the story:

If you are not well informed in your job, you might
miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 3

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager
are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil
lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie
says, "I'll give each of you just one wish." Me first!
Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the
Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the
world." Puff! She's gone. Me next! Me next!" says
the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on
the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply
of Pina Coladas and the love of my life." Puff! He's
gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, "I want those two back in the office
after lunch."

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 4

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I
also sit like you and do nothing?" The eagle answered:
"Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground
below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox
appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting
very, very high up.

Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be
able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the
turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why
don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the
bull. They're packed with nutrients." The turkey
pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave
him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the
tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he
reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth
night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of
the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who
shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:

Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep
you there.

Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was
so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a
large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by
and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay
there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how
warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to
sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird d singing
and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat
discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and
promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends the 3-minute management course.

CT violence scares refugees

Cape Town - Refugees who fled war-torn Somalia in search of safety and a better life in South Africa now fear becoming the next victims in a string of murders of their compatriots in the Cape peninsula.
"I ran from the bullet to find violence here," said Malyun Aden, who ran a clothing store at Masiphumelele, near Cape Town, until it was trashed in mob attacks on Somali homes and businesses last month.

"They hate us here. With no third alternative, I prefer to return to Somalia and take my chances there."

Pretoria - Police confirmed five people died and 11 had been injured in clashes between South Africans and foreigners at the Olievenhoutbosch informal settlement south of Pretoria.
"We can now confirm five deaths and 11 people injured after this morning's fighting between South Africans and foreigners at Shoba informal settlement in Olievenhoutbosch," said Inspector Katlego Mogale on Wednesday.

ANC 'must repay Kebble millions

'2007-3-11 17:14

Johannesburg - Trustees of Brett Kebble's estate had issued notices of demand to the African National Congress to repay millions it had received from the slain mining magnate, the Sunday Times reported.

The notices, issued in November after in-camera sequestration hearings, demanded the return of "R24m in stolen money paid to the ANC and leading members from Kebble's personal account between 2002 and 2005".

Both the ANC and the Democratic Alliance were recipients of money Kebble had stolen from shareholders, the newspaper said.

The trustees had demanded R2.4m from the ANC in the Western Cape; R750 000 from the ANC in the Eastern Cape; R6m from the ANC Youth League; R14m from youth league member Lunga Ncwana and R860 000 from league committee member Songezo Mjongile.

The ANC did not want to repay the money and had appointed lawyers to negotiate with the trustees, the newspaper said.

Four senior ANC officials were questioned about the Kebble money at a secret sequestration hearing at the Wynberg magistrate's court last August.

The ANC told the hearing that the money was a donation (bribery)and not refundable, the report said.

Indirect benefit

The party argued that Kebble received an indirect benefit in that his mining company was seen as sympathetic to the ANC, which he used to his advantage in pursuing BEE transactions.

The trustees were not convinced by the explanation and demanded that the money be paid back.

Ncwana told trustees that he used part of the R14m to buy two properties in Cape Town - one for himself for R4.7m and one for his mother for R1.2m.

He said the balance was paid to the ANC Youth League to organise its national conference in 2004.

Ncwana and Mjongile said they were entitled to receive the money as payment for services rendered to Kebble's company JCI.

They were among 29 people raided by the Scorpions last week.

The newspaper said the Scorpions had turned their attention to payments made to political parties.

When asked to comment, ANC spokesperson Smuts Ngonyama told Sapa: "I know nothing about that - the ANC wouldn't be able to comment on that."

When asked about the senior party officials reportedly at the sequestration hearing, Ngonyama said it was "a matter of individuals" that had got "nothing to do with the ANC".

DA repaid R250 000

DA spokesperson James Selfe said his party had been approached by the trustees and had repaid R250 000 that it had received.

"We were satisfied that the money had been received improperly and we have repaid the money in full and final settlement to the trustees."

The money had been received from a front company that "was quite clearly the recipient of money that had been improperly taken from JCI and other companies".

"We simply decided to pay the money back."

Bush: "USA sind großzügig und mitfühlend"

10.03.2007

US-Präsident George W. Bush betont die Bedeutung der USA für Lateinamerika. Auch in Uruguay gab es bei der Ankunft Bushs Protestdemos.

US-Präsident Bush hat Vorwürfe zurückgewiesen, die USA würden Lateinamerika vernachlässigen. Zum Abschluss seines Besuches in Brasilien sagte er, dass die Anstrengungen der USA, den Menschen ein besseres Leben zu ermöglichen, nicht ausreichend gewürdigt würden. Danach reiste der US-Präsident weiter nach Uruguay. Auch dort wurde er von Protestdemonstrationen empfangen.

"Meine Reise dient dazu, deutlich zu machen, dass unsere Nation großzügig und mitfühlend ist", sagte Bush in Sao Paolo. Angesprochen auf die jüngsten Äußerungen des venezolanischen Präsidenten Chavez, der Bush vorgeworfen hatte, mit seiner Reise die lateinamerikanischen Staaten spalten zu wollen, entgegnete er: "Ich bin hier, um zu zeigen, dass die USA Süd- und Mittelamerika entgegenkommen." Seit seinem Amtsantritt habe sich die Summe der Entwicklungshilfe für die Region auf 1,6 Milliarden Dollar (1,216 Mrd. Euro) im vergangenen Jahr verdoppelt.

Dieses Argument scheint die Gegner des US-Präsidenten wenig zu beeindrucken: Auch in Uruguay gab es bei der Ankunft Bushs Protestdemos. Der US-Präsident wird am Samstag seinen uruguayischen Amtskollegen Tabare Vazquez treffen. Bei den Gesprächen sollten die Vertiefung der wirtschaftlichen und handelspolitischen Zusammenarbeit im Mittelpunkt stehen. Am Sonntag fliegt Bush im Rahmen seiner sechstägigen Reise durch fünf lateinamerikanische Länder weiter nach Kolumbien.

Venezuelas Präsident Chavez bezeichnete Bush auf einer Protestveranstaltung in Buenos Aires als "politische Leiche". Bush atme "den Gestank der politischen Toten" und werde bald verschwinden, sagte Chavez in einem Stadion in der argentinischen Hauptstadt. Bei Demonstrationen gegen den US-Präsidenten kam es in Buenos Aires zu Ausschreitungen.

Zimbabwe bars anti-Mugabe rally

2007-3-11 11:02

Harare - Armed Zimbabwe riot police sealed off a stadium on Sunday ahead of an opposition prayer meeting which officials have banned, calling it a political protest against President Robert Mugabe.

Teams of police officers, many of them armed with shotguns and tear gas canisters, patrolled around the stadium in the Harare township of Highfield, where riot police clashed with opposition supporters last month.

Organisers of the prayer meeting, sponsored by a coalition of opposition, church and civic groups, have said they plan to go ahead with the rally despite police warnings on Saturday that it would not be permitted.

Shop owners in the area shuttered their stores and some employed private security guards, while hundreds of people wandered the streets under the gaze of police units.

Police spokesperson Wayne Bvudzijena on Saturday accused the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) of hiring and arming "thugs" to attack police, and warned that security forces would be "fully deployed" to prevent the prayer rally.

"As far as we are concerned that is a political rally ... and we are going to stop that meeting," he told a news conference.

Officials imposed a three-month ban on political protests and rallies after last month's violence, which saw riot police use water cannon and teargas to break up an MDC rally state media said was intended to launch street protests against Mugabe's government.

The MDC says it has been a victim of a "dirty tricks" campaign by the government in which its officials are accused of violent crimes committed by ruling party youth brigades.

Mugabe, 83 and in power since independence in 1980, dismisses the MDC as a puppet of Zimbabwe's former colonial master Britain which opposes him for seizing white-owned commercial farms to give to blacks.

Posh armoured Mercedes S600 for Zulu king

2007-3-11 12:01

Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini wants a new, imported state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz S600 at a cost of more than R1 million to the taxpayer.

Zwelithini's desired German luxury saloon is powered by a V12 bi-turbo engine producing monster power of 380kW and a stump-pulling 830Nm of torque.

The car is capable of dashing from 0-100km/h in under five seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.

The head of the Zulu household department, Vusi Shongwe, told the royal household portfolio committee last week that Zwelithini's current armoured Mercedes-Benz was unreliable and that the king needed a new set of wheels.

Shongwe told City Press that Zwelithini almost arrived at the opening of the provincial legislature recently in a 1984 jalopy because his current armoured vehicle had a problem. But fortunately it was fixed in time for the legislature opening.

Shongwe said Zwelithini also wants his new car's interior to be decorated with the Zulu Kingdom's emblem and fitted with a flag holder at the front.

Among optional equipment that comes with the car is night-vision technology - a system that assists the driver to see beyond the headlights during night time particularly for hazardous objects such as animals and pedestrians in dark clothes.

In December Zwelithini handed over six new Mercedes E-Class cars to his six queens, costing the taxpayer more than R2m.

Shongwe denied that the king's new vehicle will be armoured and will cost R1.6 million as reported, saying that amount would include maintenance of the new vehicle and the current armoured Mercedes-Benz.

Opposition parties have in the past slammed Zwelithini's expensive lifestyle at taxpayers' expense.

The provincial government is in the process of establishing a trust that will look after his needs.

But Zwelithini has already expressed his concern about the trust, saying though he is not against it, he would like the government department that looks after his $$$$ interests to remain in place.

Increasing police numbers will not do it alone. The police are poorly paid, poorly trained, and easily corrupted.

The men who sold the white people on a silver platter to the ANC says now from safe and cozy London..........

Non-blacks second class

2007-3-11 08:02

London - South Africa's last apartheid-era president, FW de Klerk, said that non-blacks in the country feel like "second class" citizens in an interview with Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper.

"The implementation of affirmative action has led to a substantial percentage of not only Afrikaners, but of all whites and coloureds and Indians feeling that their groups are being reduced to a sort of second class citizenship," he told the paper.

De Klerk, credited alongside Nelson Mandela with managing a peaceful transition to democracy in the early 1990s, also said that, on one level, crime in South Africa was "out of control".

His comments came despite current President Thabo Mbeki's insistence that most South Africans do not believe it is.

"If the definition is that we have fallen into a state of anarchy, then crime isn't out of control," said De Klerk.

"If the definition is that it's extremely serious and that the rate at which violent crime is committed in South Africa is unacceptable, then it is out of control."

Part of the problem in dealing with crime lays in affirmative action measures, which have led to the loss of experienced staff in the police, prosecution service and elsewhere, he said.

"In this drive of racially-based affirmative action, the country lost that experience and expertise," he added.

De Klerk, 70, stressed that the constitution in post-apartheid South Africa was based on a "non-racial state".

He added that affirmative action would be unconstitutional if it became "institutional racial discrimination" and that this stage had been reached in some municipalities and state departments.

But Mbeki was committed to tackling crime :D, De Klerk said, adding he was convinced that a "relatively moderate" figure would succeed him in elections in 2009.

'Cleanse Bush's bad spirits

'2007-3-9 15:16

Guatemala

City - Mayan leaders announced that priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after US President George W Bush visits.

"That a person like (Bush), with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked, is going to walk in our sacred lands, is an offence for the Mayan people and their culture," Juan Tiney, the director of a national association of indigenous people and peasant farmers, said.

Bush's seven-day tour of Latin America includes a stopover beginning late on Sunday in Guatemala. On Monday morning he is scheduled to visit the archaeological site Iximche on the high western plateau in a region of the Central American country populated mostly by Mayans.

Tiney said the "spirit guides of the Mayan community" decided it would be necessary to cleanse the sacred site of "bad spirits" after Bush's visit so that their ancestors could rest in peace.

He also said the rites - which entail chanting and burning incense, herbs and candles - would prepare the site for the third summit of Latin American Indians March 26-30.

Challenging bad perceptions

Bush's trip has already has sparked protests elsewhere in Latin America, including protests and clashes with police in Brazil hours before his arrival. In Bogota, Colombia, which Bush visits on Sunday, 200 masked students battled 300 riot police with rocks and small homemade explosives.

The tour is aimed at challenging a widespread perception that the United States has neglected the region and at combating the rising influence of Venezuelan leftist President Hugo Chavez, who has called Bush "history's greatest killer" and "the devil".

Iximche, 50km west of the capital of Guatemala City, was founded as the capital of the Kaqchiqueles kingdom before the Spanish conquest in 1524.

Prison overcrowding 'shocking'

10/03/2007 22:41 - (SA)


'Crime is oppressing us' ...no more Protection.

A parliamentary committee touring prisons and police stations in KwaZulu-Natal found 300% overcrowding at some facilities, a member of the committee said on Saturday.

"We found that facilities established to accommodate 1 000 prisoners had some 3 000 of them," said Chris Ntuli member of the National Council of Provinces Select Committee on Safety, Security and Constitutional Affairs.

He said the number of youngsters or juvenile offenders in KwaZulu Natal prisons was also "shocking".

"There are so many arrested, particularly youngsters - thousands of them, most awaiting trial, it?s shocking."

Juvenile offenders, incarcerated for petty offences and still awaiting trial, were mixed with hardened juvenile offenders which was also worrying, said Ntuli.

He did sympathise with those manning the prisons, courts and police stations as they lacked adequate facilities and the capacity to improve the situation.

The findings were made by the committee during a three day visit, from March 6 to March 9, to police stations, prisons and courts across the province.

The visit included stops at the Westville Prison and regional courts and police stations in Umlazi, Tongaat, Chatsworth, Wentworth, Umbumbulu and Phoenix.

Office spaces at courts was sparse and most were old and run-down - with one court stationed at an old school, said Ntuli.

A shortage of personnel was another problem in many police stations and at some courts.

Another problem was the lack of community involvement with the police.

"The ... police are just working in isolation. This is one of the main problems."

The committee would compile a report on their findings which would be presented to parliament and debated in due course.

-------------------------

8o... But, the world is now more sophisticated & prepared to march towards a world govt.

The insiders have won. They now control all the levers of power, financial & political.

But, if so, we have to get through a worse period before we get there, if we do.

Keeping in mind, our globalist Western leaders are actively setting the stage for various trigger events. Some, like Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq have as their major purpose the antagonization of opposing forces in the world. Other potential future trigger events are Iran, North Korea, and Taiwan. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is also an ever-present potential trigger event--especially because Israel has the potential of taking the conflict nuclear and engendering nuclear retaliation.

At this stage, we do know the US is planning an attack on Iran. I feel strongly it will be this year and that Israel will initiate the attack so the US will have an excuse to rush in--despite the Bush administration's repeated denials of any such plan of attack. The US can then excuse its involvement under the cover of "we had to come to Israel's aid."

The attack on Iran will most likely be a furtherance of the "antagonize the world" strategy. But it could be a direct trigger to World War Three. Russia is warning the US NOT to attack (though they did that with Iraq and then let Iraq fall). So, how much is bluff and how much is real? I think it's a bluff on the Russian's part, but we can't ever be totally sure when dealing with some many evil empires.

So, while I'm 90 percent sure that Iran is NOT a direct trigger event for WWIII, I am suggesting that my subscribers treat it seriously enough to at least review all your preparations, check your equipment, and brief your children on what they should do to get home in a big crisis. Even my adult children need occasional briefings. They tend to rely too much on their father to warn them. I want to try to instill in them a higher sensitivity to see the world and its potential threats for themselves.

Compared to you or me alone of course, a central bank is awesomely powerful. But compared to all of us investors together, a central bank is totally impotent. Think of an elite commando, a Navy SEAL, versus a single bee. No matter how many times the bee stings the commando, the commando is going to eventually crush it like a grape. Victory was never in doubt. But imagine this same elite commando versus a swarm of killer bees. It doesn't matter how tough this soldier is, it doesn't matter how many bees he kills, the swarm is eventually going to overwhelm and annihilate him in the end. Defeat is inevitable.

The CIA & ANC Want to provoke a Boer Uprising now:

ANC PROVOCATION

[Hi Alan,

Your are completely right. All those PROVOCATEUR BASTARDS and secret MOLES have crawled out of their holes in the last 2 weeks and they're all busy now.

I am more convinced than ever before... I think a *HUGE* intelligence operation (the likes of which we've not seen under ANC rule) is underway RIGHT NOW trying to take the writings of Adriaan Snyman and to use it as a weapon against Afrikaners - to not only damage Adriaan Snyman but to also provoke Boers into some action.

There is something which is making me wonder if the CIA could be involved in this too. They want to keep the ANC in power.

A lot of scabs are working with the ANC, etc. All I am going to remember from this my friend is all the people who ran around trying to make me believe:-

(a) Nelson Mandela is dead.
(b) The Night of the Long Knives is at hand.

This is aimed at discrediting Adriaan Snyman on the one hand, and also at hurting Afrikaners and Whites in general when the subsequent CIA/ANC media campaign hits the airwaves of planet earth.

I will be waiting for the liars... when this is over. I will remember each and every one of them - and will be reminding *EVERYBODY* constantly - when this is over.

Alan, I am beside myself with anger and sheer rage at the moment.

Let me say once more, I think these bastards are targetting Adriaan Snyman... and trying to mislead ordinary Afrikaner people.

I've fought the best fight I can, in the face of overwhelming odds. Now I must sit back and watch to see how the PROVOCATEUR STEAM ROLLER moves forward and tries to lure Afrikaners into a trap - a pre-prepared trap which, for those who fall for it... means a stint in jail.

I did my *UTMOST* to try to help some people. Jan]

Hello Jan

You say:

The more I look at it, the more I think the ANC wants an Afrikaner uprising and THEY WANT IT NOW IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY A CRACKDOWN ON THE AFRIKANERS. (Folks, you really should read Government by Deception because I discuss all these tricks a lot and give historical examples of this). Once, the Russians under Lenin, sent in agents to stir up an uprising in a village. Once they had got the uprising going ... they sent in the Red army and killed everyone!!

Over R100m spent to guard cops

2007-3-10 11:59

Johannesburg - The safety and security ministry has spent over R100m for private security to patrol premises of the South African Police Services (SAPS) in 2005 and 2006, the Saturday Star newspaper reported on Saturday.

In a written response to Democratic Alliance MP Donald Lee,
Minister Charles Nqakula said this was done so as to make it possible for police to fight and prevent crime.

"The SAPS makes use of private security to free fully trained police officers to perform their core function - preventing and combating crime.

Private security is employed for access control purposes and to safeguard property," he said.

Nqakula said that all security firms were hired on a contractual basis and that an internal investigation found that the outsourcing of staff was more cost effective.

Police spokesperson Vishnu Naidoo said private security firms were contacted to help police at major events while they also guarded police stations and some government buildings.

SA steps up land reforms

Kimberly - The South African government was set Saturday to take possession of the first farm to be expropriated in a move designed to silence criticism it is dragging its feet over land reform.

Land commission agents, along with the chief claims commissioner Thozi Gwanya, will descend on Pniel Farm near the diamond mining town of Kimberley to meet with the outgoing owners from the Lutheran Church as well as briefing the dozens of tenants who will stay put on the 25 000 hectare property.

The farm was to have changed hands on March 15 but the outgoing owners have decided to leave without fuss and downplayed their disagreements with the government after failing to reach agreement on the sale after nearly four years of negotiations.

Until now, the South African government has been trying to meet its target of settling nearly 7 000 rural land claims dating back to the apartheid era before a self-imposed deadline at the end next year on a "willing buyer, willing seller model" but it has grown frustrated at the slow pace of negotiations.

Differences led to hard line

According to Bongani Zulu, general secretary of the Lutheran Church in South Africa, there was agreement on the sale price of R35.5m but differences over interest had proved insurmountable and the government had then taken a hard line.

"The whole process was managed in a proper way, except that we did not agree on the interest clause," he told AFP. "It was not a big issue but the state decided to make it a big issue which ended up in expropriation."

Agriculture and Land Affairs Minister Lulu Xingwana approved the expropriation order on February 13 following a pledge by President Thabo Mbeki in his state of the nation address earlier in the month to devote an "extra effort" to addressing the land ownership issue in the post-apartheid era.

The government has been inviting restitution claims in order to redress apartheid-era land grabs in which many members of the black majority lost ancestral holdings which were often then sold on to different owners, such as the Lutherans.

Any redistribution of land will only take place once the restitution process has been settled.

Seeking a fair price

In an interview with AFP last year, Gwanya said all the government wanted was to pay a fair price.

"We are not talking seizures here because we are willing to pay a price for the land but it must be a just amount, not inflated sums."

A recent editorial in the Business Day newspaper said any suggestion the government was embarking on "a Zimbabwe-style land grab is patently not true."

"That the expropriation at Pneil is the first of its kind, coming only now that a stalemate has been reached after lengthy negotiations, indicates the government's respect for the rule of law and its reluctance to us the state's overwhelming power," it added.

However there are signs that the authorities may be abandoning their conciliatory approach with six farms in northern Mpumalanga being threatened with as yet unsigned expropriation notices.
