On This Day

On This Day - 1940 - German Luftwaffe planes destroy most of Coventry, England.

The Nazi published a large number of 32-page booklets in a series titled "War Library of the German Youth". They were intended to persuade the youth of the glories of war and often included a pitch to enlist in the military.

The RAF had bombed Munich during the festivities of 8-9 November 1940, the anniversary of the 1923 Beer Hall Putcsh.

Outraged, Hitler ordered retaliation. The Luftwaffe had formerly focused on London. Now it went after Coventry, a city in the English Midlands.

Heavy anti-aircraft fire kept the bombers high, they bombed indiscriminately. They destroyed a great deal of housing along with a 14th century cathedral.

Lightning Bolt

I was sitting on my veranda in December 1999, playing with my new camera trying to catch a photo of the lightning in a distance.

In front of my house is a public park and whilst trying to snap a picture, a huge lightning bolt hit a tree approximately 100m in front of me. To my amazement, I happen to press the camera button and snapped the photo. There was no skill in taking this picture but pure luck and let's not forget the "toilet ministries" I had thereafter !

Is South Africa Sitting on a Time Bomb ?

Is South Africa sitting on a Time Bomb ?

Question I asked myself and I'm sure many have done the same.

In my opinion, there are so many factors that will lead to an unstable South Africa and one needs to be vigilant and take note of similar happenings around the world in the past.

Why were there uprisings in other African countries ? Look what happened in Libya, Egypt, Rwanda, DRC, Ghana, and many more. Look at the current state of Syria !

All because of governments that support or in the process of dictatorships. In my opinion, the current South African Government is showing signs of the same mentality and if the situation is not changed, the people will rise up and civil war and mayhem will be the order of the day.

Look at the signs - The Marikana, strikes at our gold, platinum and coal mines, transport and many others. The people have no respect for the rule of law. Theft and corruption is in the order of the day in government departments, "jobs for pals" even if the person is not qualified, a taxi industry that is completely uncontrollable, fraud in all forms in government, tender processes (mostly given to those connected with the ANC. There are many more evidence to mention all.

We have a government that is riddled with communist. Will they change their views on communism ? The answer is NO otherwise they will distance themselves from any communist movements such as the SACP. What is the definition of communism ? " A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labour for the common advantage of all members."

Does this not look and sound familiar to the happenings in South Africa ?

What can be done ? - The only solution in my opinion is for the Government to change it's views and start serving ALL the people of the country and work for the people and not for the enrichments of themselves. - Let all it's citizens feel part to build a new South Africa, black and white all working for a common cause for the future of our children and their children. - If the situation does not change soon, we as South African citizens needs to change the government. I think it's also time for the world to take note of the situation and start subtle embargoes on South Africa to let the current ANC let Government know how they feel. Unfortunately, you have countries like China, India and Brazil who support South Africa with their communist- and anti-white methodology.

The current education system has failed in South Africa. Who is the Minister of Education ? Mr. Blade Nzimande (SACP and communist member). There are no or little order in our schools, kids bring weapons and drugs to schools. Where are the teachers ? They are too scared to act against the children in fear of their own lives. What type of system is that ? The children of today will be our leaders of tomorrow. Is that how we see the South Africa of the future ?

Please Mr. President, we as South african citizens beg of you, even if it will cost your you favoritism amongst the ANC members, be a man of Values and Integrity and lets build on a South Africa that ALL it's citizens can be proud of.
