A black member of the DA in Tshwane said she wants apartheid back, the system that controlled black people with racist laws enshrining white supremacy. Olgar from Hammanskraal said the Tshwane CBD, which is governed by the DA, is dirty. She was speaking to SABC News as the DA launched its manifesto this weekend. She claimed to be part of the DA leadership in Tshwane. The legacy of apartheid continues to be prevalent in almost every corner of South Africa with economic and social inequality and the country ranked as one of the most unequal in the world. Black people bear the brunt of apartheid and colonialism. They have the highest unemployment rate among all the racial groups and are not able to afford private school education. When contacted, the DA said it was puzzled by the member's comments. The party said it would follow up and this article will be updated with its comments.

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has told Polity that a prosperous South Africa and the African National Congress cannot coexist, labelling the ruling party as a "curse" and blaming it for "destroying our way of life" in an exclusive interview. Mashaba, whose party is preparing to contest the upcoming elections for the first time, warned that if the black youth, in particular, don't remove the ANC from government, it must accept the consequence that "South Africa is going to die" and become a failed State. ActionSA recently launched its election campaign at Mashaba's place of birth, in Hammanskraal, where he said it was disturbing to see that a place which was once a hive of business activity was now in poverty. When asked about ActionSA's election preparations, as the party has already launched Chairpersons in all nine provinces, Mashaba said going back home was a great decision as the people of Hammanskraal were "proud" that his launch had put his village on the map. Mashaba told Polity that he was pleased with the party's progress, with two of the nine provinces having their wards nearly reach the Electoral Commission of South Africa's requirements to be able to contest the upcoming elections. "We are not going to stop. Even next year we will continue to fill in the forms as it gives us personal contact with the voters. It is exciting as we have already announced four Premier candidates," he said. The party's remaining Premier candidates will be announced before the end of February. ActionSA is confident that before the elections it will have reached a minimum of 60% of wards with branches. Mashaba said although he was privileged, he was not prepared to leave the country for "greener pastures" and added that he would not keep quiet as he had an obligation to save the country from the ANC. ECONOMY AND ENERGY The ActionSA leader accused the ANC of deliberately closing factories in Hammanskaal, which he said was one of the biggest industrial areas in the country. He said businesses were now run by the ANC councillors who were allowing undocumented immigrants to "do as they please". Mashaba further claimed that ANC councillors had opened a floodgate of social disruptions and drug use in communities as people were unemployed. SOCIAL GRANTS Mashaba is promising South Africans a universal basic income stimulus package which will be more than the current R350, as he argues that no one can survive on such an amount. He said his party would introduce short-term interventions as the country deals with 54% of people living below the bread line, "but at the same time we will deal with draconian laws, opening factories where no union will ever have a veto right on our economic policies". Mashaba is adamant that once the number of social grant recipients is reduced owing to increased job opportunities, those who qualify for social grants will only be the elderly, disabled and the previously disadvantaged. He is mindful that the "mess created by the ANC" requires an intervention but his plan is to ensure that industrial spaces flourish and resuscitate the economy. ESKOM On the appointment of new Eskom CEO Dan Marokane, Mashaba told Polity that his success would depend on the political support he received. He said if the ANC leadership continued looting Eskom, Marokane was not going to do anything and would also not get the support of the criminal justice system. "I can assure you [in that case] he is going to fail. There is no way that you can run a business or Eskom where you have the hyenas waiting to steal and there are no consequences, therefore, he is going to fail. That is a fact of life. His success is going to depend on getting the political will and stopping criminals and the tenderpreneurs who are milking Eskom," Mashaba stated. If it comes into power, ActionSA is promising to run Eskom on a commercial basis while putting professional people in key positions and offering political support, "but we will ensure that we deal with t...

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba says under his government the private sector will flourish to give South Africans success and upward mobility. He was speaking at the party's 2024 election campaign launch in Ga-Ramotse in  Hammanskraal during the weekend. 

The Transformation Alliance (TTA) has welcomed the Public Protector's report on the Hammanskraal water crisis.

As a water-scarce country, South Africa is facing many complex water problems and studies have shown that the country will not have enough water supplies to meet demand by 2025. Challenges affecting our water include the amount available, the unequal distribution and access to clean water, the quality and state of water infrastructure, droughts causing towns to run dry and corruption that has affected municipal treatment plants, resulting in sewage flows into streets, rivers and groundwater. Vast areas in the rural parts of North West, Limpopo and Free State provinces and urban areas like Hammanskraal, Makhanda, Grabouw and Kimberley have perennial water issues that have left residents on an unending scramble for reliable and clean water. Despite these longstanding problems on access to clean drinking water, Water and Sanitation Minister Senzo Mchunu, speaking on Tuesday at this year's commemoration of Water Week, was adamant that the country has no water crisis but a lack of efficient management and skills to effectively run the available water resources.

In this week's #PropertyMagicians podcast episode we talk to Precious Dludlu who works as an external auditing. She grew up in Hammanskraal, the last born of 7 siblings, raised by a single mother who worked as a domestic worker. When her mother retired she moved to Bronkhosrtpruit, in grade 12, she decided she wanted to be an interior designer but her parents said no, so she ended up studying internal auditing. She noticed that having an education and a career were not the way to financial freedom. When she fell pregnant she started to change her mindset and decided to build wealth. In April 2020, a coach introduced her to a Bigger Pockets book She started listening to the Property Magicians Podcast and hired a property coach in October 2020 and put in her first OTP in January 2021, by December 2021 she had 6 new properties. First property made a profit of R1200 per month in Sunnyside. Second property she was able to convert a 1.5 bedroom unit to a 4 bedroom unit and was able to make a R4,000 a month, on a property that she bought for R300,000. The sellers offered her the third property since she had bought the second property. She got 90% of the money from the bank to finance her properties; her savings were able to cover the down payment for the first 3 properties. For the fourth and fifth properties she worked overtime to make the money and then used that extra money to pay the 10% deposit and lawyer fees. She also sold her house and moved to a rental place because the expenses of maintaining a house and paying rates was very expensive. She plans on doing an AirBnB strategy and going commercial and moving into the salon industry.   >>>Click play to listen in   Books that have inspired Precious:   “Who moved my cheese” by Spencer Johnson “The richest man in Babylon” by George Samuel Clason “Rental Property Investing” by Brandon Turner   Contact Precious Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/precious.dludlu.3  

The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has declared that R111-million in the frozen bank accounts of Hammanskraal businessman Thabo Abel Simbini is forfeited to the State. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said the forfeiture order the court issued on Tuesday followed a successful preservation order it obtained last year in terms of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act on the basis that the funds constituted the proceeds of crime. The NPA alleges that Simbini, through his business Impossible Services (Pty) Ltd, defrauded the UIF by claiming he had to lay off more than 6 000 employees because of Covid-19. "The unlawful activities were committed against the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) of the Department of Employment and Labour. An amount of R111-million that was intended for Covid-19 relief fund[ing] and individual claims not related to Covid-19 [were] fraudulently paid into [the] Impossible Services Pty Ltd FNB bank account belonging to Thabo Abel Simbini," the NPA said in a statement. Regional NPA spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana added, "After the funds were fraudulently paid into this account, Thabo Abel Simbini transferred the monies to several FNB bank accounts." On 13 November 2020, the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) issued intervention notices to various banks to temporarily "freeze" the funds implicated in the actions of Impossible Services to assist law-enforcement agencies with their process of possible recovery, according to the NPA. "This resulted in the AFU successfully obtaining [a] preservation order. The success of the application is directly related to the productive and professional working relationship that exists in the Fusion Centre between the FIC, DPCI (The Hawks), and other law enforcement agencies, as well as the Asset Forfeiture Unit," Mahanjana said. The NPA said the recovered funds would be paid back to the UIF. Simbini is facing charges of corruption in the matter before the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crime Court. He was arrested in 2020 during an undercover operation by the Hawks. It is alleged that he tried to "bribe the UIF official for the release of the stolen funds. He paid the UIF official a bribe of R10 000 and was arrested [during] a sting operation by members of the DPCI". The matter was postponed to 1 February 2022.

This is a re-upload from 4 May 2020. Not that he needs an introduction, but Herman Mashaba is the former mayor of Johannesburg and a South African with a tremendously inspirational history. -- "Mashaba was brought up in near-poverty in GaRamotse in Hammanskraal, Gauteng, by his sisters while his absent domestic-worker mother worked to provide for the family. His older brother dropped out of school at 15, going from one unsubstantial job to another. Mashaba realised that acquiring an education would be crucial for him to break out of the cycle of poverty. He graduated from high school but did not complete his tertiary education. From a young age, he was a strategic thinker - he bought a car without having a license and drove out of the dealership without ever having learned to drive. He drove himself from one selling job to another, in the process confirming for himself that he was a natural salesman with an unswerving instinct for business." -- Basically, he grew up during an oppressive system in a broken home, and overcame all of that by not letting go of his belief in God, self worth, and family values. I'm not a fan of his current politics, but I am a fan of his story. Watch the conversation

A Hammanskraal businessman has appeared in the Pretoria Specialized Commercial Crimes court on allegations of fraud and bribery in connection with the Department of Labour's UIF Covid-19 relief fund amounting to R110-million rand. Thabo Simbini claimed to have terminated more than 6-thousand employees from their employment during lockdown. However, his company, Impossible Services , did not have any employees other than himself.

They became known as the Five Cops: Jack Cronje, Jacques Hechter, Paul van Vuuren, Wouter Mentz and Roelf Venter. Between them, they committed more than 60 gross violations of human rights while attached to Vlakplaas and the Northern Transvaal Security Branch in the late eighties. These included the murders of Dr Fabian and Florence Ribeiro in Mamelodi, Richard and Irene Motasi in Hammanskraal, as well as the killing of activists known as the KwaNdebele Nine and the Nietverdiend Ten. The public amnesty hearing of the Five Cops was one of the longest, stretching from October 1996 to March 1997. It was held in three cities and at six different venues, one of which was destroyed by fire. This hearing also presented the Amnesty Committee with a unique dilemma: Can amnesty be granted for amnesia and memory loss, such as in the abduction, interrogation, torture and killing of three men: Jackson Maake, Andrew Makupe and Harold Sefolo?

In the latest episode of the Weekly Wrap podcast, Farmer's Weekly editor Denene Erasmus discusses more of the features from the 3 & 10 July double issue of Farmer's Weekly, which will be in stores from 26 June to 10 July. She also highlights some of the top-performing news articles on farmersweekly.co.za (Links below). In one of the main features in this issue, Farmer's Weekly spoke to some farmers about how they cope with uncertainty in their businesses, and what advice they may have for those who work in other sectors who might now, because of the coronavirus disease pandemic and the lockdown, may be facing more uncertainty about the future than they are used to dealing with in their work and daily life. In this issue's guest editorial Dr Sifiso Ntombela, chief economist at the National Agricultural Marketing Council, writes that while previous growth and development initiatives focused mostly in growing the commercial farming sector, a ‘new school of thought' advocates for the co-existence of smallholder and commercial farmers to achieve household-level food security in South Africa. The 3 and 10 July issue also profiles a young, self-taught worm farmer from Hammanskraal near Pretoria. Thato Lekonyane uses red wriggler earthworms in his worm farm to convert waste, such as kitchen scraps and manure, into compost.

The search continues this afternoon for the two bodies seen being swept away by flood water at the Apies River in Pretoria at the weekend. The search and rescue team from the Tshwane Emergency Service says it will continue to search for at least a week before deciding together with the police on how to proceed. Heavy rains in the city and the surrounding areas of Hammanskraal, Temba, Pretoria West and Pretoria North, have damaged properties and trees were uprooted since the thunderstorm and and hail began on Saturday. Here is what the eyewitness who alerted authorities had to say:

City of Tshwane mayor Solly Msimanga and his city manager Moeketse Mosola have been summoned to appear before the Human Rights Commission within 48 hours following allegations of contaminated water in the Hammanskraal area north of Pretoria. The HRC has also launched a probe into the local Jubilee district hospital following reports of poor service delivery. Solly Salang Motsepe and Maluti Obuseng filed this report.

City of Tshwane Members of the Mayoral Committee says it will conduct an inspection tour of the Rooiwal sewage plant, north of Pretoria, later this week in an effort to deal with the contaminated water supply. Hammanskraal residents protested last week against the failure by of the Tshwane Metro to respond to the problem. Metro authorities recently had to close the Rooiwal sewage plant when it overflowed. Residents say the contaminated water is yellowish in colour and is causing diarrhoea among them. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to the City of Tshwane's member of the Mayoral Committee on Utilities Darrel Moss.

The NSRI has again called on people to exercise extreme caution when around water. The number of people who've died in a collision between a taxi and bakkie on the N1 near Hammanskraal, north of Pretoria, has risen to 16. Meanwhile, the names of the two people who died when a minibus taxi was swept away in a swollen river in Kwaggafontein, east of Pretoria, have been released. The NSRI's CEO, Cleeve Robertson....

ANC's Tshwane mayoral candidate, Thoko Didiza arrived to a tumultuous welcome in Stinkwater near Hammanskraal. Didiza accompanied by the incumbent mayor, Kgosientso Ramokgopa visited the family of Simon Modige who was gunned down outside the ANC's Branch Executive Commitee meeting at the Tshwane Events Centre two weeks ago. A suspect has since been arrested and is expected to appear in the Pretoria magistrate's court today. Freddy Sepeng reports...

Two people have been confirmed dead and dozens of others arrested in Mamelodi, east of Pretoria, following a spate of lootings over the past 24 hours. Two alleged looters were killed in Mamelodi. On Sunday, an ANC member was shot and killed at the Pretoria Events Centre after it was announced that Thoko Didiza had been endorsed as the ANC's preferred mayoral candidate for the capital city. Since then at least 40 people have been arrested in the subsequent violent protests in Atteridgeville, Hammanskraal and other areas around Tshwane. We spoke with ANC Youth League Greater Tshwane Regional Chairperson, Lesego Makhubela and Executive Director at Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, Nomfundo Mogapi....

Government says it's working around the clock to contain on-going unrest in Tshwane. Tensions have been high in the capital city since Sunday following an announcement that ANC National Executive Committee member and National assembly chairperson Thoko Didiza has been selected as the Metro's mayoral candidate in the upcoming local government elections. Vehicles were torched and roads barricaded in townships such as Soshanguve, Mamelodi, Hammanskraal and Atteridgeville as well as Central Pretoria. That's despite repeated calls from regional, provincial and national leadership for calm in the area. Senior political journalist Amos Phago reports.

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has downplayed fears that the ongoing violence in the Tshwane Metro could hurt South Africa's efforts to stabilise the economy and restore investor confidence. Disagreements over who should run as the ANC mayoral candidate in the capital city have led to an outbreak of violence in areas around Pretoria, particularly Atteridgeville, Mamelodi and Hammanskraal. Supporters of the incumbent mayor, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, are demanding that he be the candidate for another term, after rejecting the ANC's decision to nominate Thoko Didiza as a mayoral candidate for the capital city. Presidential Correspondent Tshepo Ikaneng reports
