Christian, on a mission to save South Africa
I note the interim order handed down by the Gauteng Division of the High Court relating to the procurement and administration of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccines. I note that the practical effect of the matter is now largely overtaken by the gazetted Section 10 animal health scheme, which already provides a lawful framework for participation by private industry role players in the national vaccination effort. Government has consistently supported a coordinated public-private approach to combating FMD. Millions of vaccines have already been allocated to organised industry structures, including the Milk Producers’ Organisation (MPO), while further allocations are being rolled out to feedlots, stud breeders and commercial farmers. Our primary focus remains the implementation of the national FMD Strategy through the Ministerial Task Team and the Industry Coordinating Committee on FMD. Our objective remains to vaccinate at least 80% of the national cattle population with two doses of vaccine as swiftly as possible as part of South Africa’s pathway toward achieving WOAH-recognised FMD free with vaccination status. This would unlock significant export opportunities for South Africa’s red meat sector. In demonstration of this commitment, since February this year, the Ministry and Department have procured every available local and international matched vaccine available. Approximately 13.5 million FMD vaccine doses from local and international sources have been procured as part of government’s intensified response to the outbreak. We remain unwaveringly committed to ensuring the success of the strategy and ensuring this outbreak is the last major outbreak of FMD and becomes a turning point in strengthening South Africa’s long-term biosecurity capability and defeating FMD once and for all.
Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Angie Motshekga, says only law enforcement officers have the authority to demand identification from members of the public.
@MarcellMar27803 @jsteenhuisen Honestly, we never asked for it. We really just wanted him to do his job.
Dear Fellow South African, As we mark 30 years this month since the adoption of our country’s constitution, we can reflect with pride on political culture we have built as a nation – a culture that is robust, participatory, continuously evolving and firmly anchored in the democratic values we hold dearly. 🔗 tinyurl.com/2vxe8pye
Minister Angie Motshekga says South Africans have a constitutional right to protest against illegal immigration, but warned that demonstrations must remain peaceful and respect the dignity and rights of foreign nationals.
South Africa’s National Development Plan 2030 promised to increase economic growth and significantly reduce unemployment. The inverse happened. dailyinvestor.com/finance/135887…
No lies detected…
Only you an ld a few others still seek to justify colonialism that was the original sin that dispossessed the indigenous people of their land. Thats why just and equitable solution needed.
@jsteenhuisen came to court trying to silence accusations of dishonesty. When the case was argued, he suddenly dropped it. Today the Court dismantled the entire fiction. The Court found government could not show any lawful prohibition on private vaccination. It found the Section 10 scheme was no substantive defence. It found government engineered delays while FMD spread across the country. This from the same Minister who: -fearmongered about “bioterrorism” with dead vaccine - bragged about 2 million vaccinations over a drawn-out period while outbreaks exploded -lied on national television about substantively answering our legal demand South African farmers are living with the consequences of an arrogant minister who spoke with authority long before he understood the law, the science or the crisis. It is time to for accountability from John and his enablers.
In that case, riddle me this, Ramaphosa: Why did millions of Zimbabweans flee across crocodile-invested rivers and barbed wire to escape your hero Robert Mugabe's Garden of Eden?
🚨 “President Cyril Ramaphosa Told To Engage AfriForum Before More Afrikaners Leave For America As Fears Grow That South Africa Could Repeat Zimbabwe’s Economic Collapse” 🇿🇦🇺🇸 Calls are growing for President Cyril Ramaphosa to open serious discussions with AfriForum and other Afrikaner organisations as fears increase over skilled South Africans relocating to the United States. This comes after reports that the administration of President Donald Trump could welcome thousands more Afrikaners into America under a refugee-style program. Many South Africans are now warning that if experienced farmers, business owners, engineers and skilled workers continue leaving the country, South Africa could face deeper economic problems, rising unemployment and food insecurity. Some commentators have even compared the situation to Zimbabwe’s economic collapse, arguing that losing productive farmers and investors could damage agriculture, weaken investor confidence and increase poverty. Supporters of engagement say Ramaphosa should urgently rebuild trust with Afrikaner communities, tackle violent crime, protect property rights and create policies that convince skilled citizens to stay and invest in South Africa. Others, however, argue that South Africa belongs to everyone and government should focus on fixing problems affecting all citizens instead of prioritising one group. The debate has now become one of the country’s biggest political talking points, with many asking whether South Africa can afford another major brain drain while the economy is already under pressure. 🇿🇦🔥
