Wow, the corruption in South Africa is overpowering. Replacing a lease who paid R19,000 a month for one that pays R36 a month.

And two months later, no tender documentation can be produced. Probably being rewritten as we speak.

Meanwhile, the deputy of the Education department, said that R2.3 BILLION went 'missing'.


The ANC, in every sphere of government doesnt know how to govern honestly.

The same thing is happening to our hospitals and schools - those who pay bribes get the tender and then over price and deliver shoddy service to recover their bribes.

Like I said before about this Pilgrimes Rest , it's already gone to our black fellows. Booers there can twist and turn but eventually black people will end up owning this place. Booers get it in your thick skull , you have no business to be here in Africa . It's time to head home as fast as possible.

@mbondo - you have a loser mentality - why are you scared to have wh.ite people in Africa ? You should rather embrace the ones who contribute positvely to make this country a winning nation. I was in Pilgrims rest 2 months ago, and since your " blac.k fellows" have taken over it is going down. In the extremely precious and historic old bar of the hotel, with its rich history, your " b.lack fellows" now come in with fish and chips bags, spread it on the counter, and sit and eat open mouthed while making as much noise as possible. The barman does nothing, in fact these people were his friends. It chased me and other tourists away. That is not the manner to behave in a beautiful historic bar. Get with the programme boet, you are being left behind.

Since you set foot on these shores , your fore-fathers and mothers including yourself never said anything positive to all Africans always negative in whatever Africans are doing. I have nothing against white people but your evil ways is what makes africans scared. The history you're talking about is written in blood of Africans, that's why no sane African will have mercy for you. Talking about positive contribution , you cntributed nothing in this country but misery and shame and death of African people. You get with the program and start finding your true roots which might lead back home you prodigal son. You're lost in Africa believe me and your stay here is risky.

@mbondo - you are living in the past, what " ev.il ways" are you talking about ? Also, your view is one sided - the wh.te man's contribution was to build and develop the country to the economic powerhouse of Africa, now the country has been liberated, so we can all share in the prosperity that it offers. The whi.tes ( forget about the AWB, Boermag types, they are a small mino.rity) now want to contribute positvely, and they are doing it. Look forward to a bright future for our children, which can be achieved in a spirit of cooperation and pride. We have been Africans for 350 yrs mbondo, we are not going away. By the way, in the Western Cape, we were here before your ancestors, so you are on thin ground on that issue.

mbondo...White people will always be here to bail out when things like this happen and they will always be here to give hand outs to Africa. Get it into your thick skull that white people do not have to and will not go anywhere. Your protestations are as insignificant as your contributions are. It's tough to handle, I know, but nobody cares about what you think and white people will certainly not leave Africa because of little people like you. Scream and pout all you want, facts are facts. Don't worry, the whites will eventually rebuild all the schools and the hospitals too. Don't worry, they won't really go too far away. :) Oh, and it's clear Pilgrims has gone to your black fellows. Look at the state it is in. Black judge called it a shambles. Quit whinging like a snot nosed baby about white people and take responsibility and charge, black man. I dare you.

Look around the world, name one continent where it is only one race..... when we say things like you just said. then we become R.A.C.I.S.T in that moment . Then we are no better than they were.... we must also remember just as we are frustrated by our politicians so too were they .... in that time they stabbed their "shower head" ....

Madiba fought for the fact that , we are all just people humans, all just living on Gods earth....

just as the the regime then was also forced to change by other whites around the world, through international pressure they can also do the same to us

DJ, you read insults where there are none. You say that Sin doesn't mention service delivery in Cape Town. You always bring it up but fail to mention the even sadder state of affairs in ANC run constituencies. I am wondering why that is. Is it easier to point fingers? The sooner you gain some confidence and stop seeing an insult in legitimate criticism, the better off you are going to be. You should hear yourself. It's tired already. Nobody can speak out about a black person, because then it's a whine about racism and insulting. It's like dealing with a bunch of five year olds. Stop insisting on being treated with cotton wool gloves. The ANC is not doing its best job. People are calling them on it. There is no racism there...but every time a black person is called on it, the snot and tears arrive. You need to man up and square off against legitimate criticism and stop hiding behind the skirts of racism. Nobody is listening anymore. You've cheapened the notion by crying foul too many times.

I just find it surprising black people are immigrating to WCape in bussloads, if it was so terrible here.

The reality is that most of the government leaders they careless about serving people instead they are serving their coffers,family and friends. They are greedy and want more on top of what they are earning and to hell on who gets screwed along the way.

You are a lost soul - South Africa is much more developed than the rest of Africa but since the ANC have taken over we have fallen in all speres of governance when compared globally. We are now 120th in a survey of 124 countries when it comes to education - you are obviously a product of this.

yea, the article doesn't mention that 5 of those who are complaining are black people. This has more to do with giving tenders to maatjies than it has to do with race. The councilors may pretend it is about race but that doesn't explain why black people have had their leases revoked or why other black people have not been awarded anything but a few friends managed to get a whole pile of leases

And this from the non-racial anc? We all knew form the start that this was nothing more than a racist plot to rid PR of hard working white folk and replace them with anc cronies and friends. cant even forward tender documents for the "new" owners. Fukk sakes this anc is the biggest joke this continent has ever seen.

The tender system needs to start changing!
Companies that win tenders over a certain amount should be compelled to give back to the community somehow!
We cannot have SME's taking advantage of this system, not delivering and not helping their surrounding community. Further, certain tenders should be designated for SME's in the surrounding community!

Talking about tenders.

The main aim should be to distribute money to a many people. But many corporates only use a few suppliers - the monet only goes to a few.

Therefore - scrap BEE and implement tender system which measures how many suppliers you have and how many employees - that will distribute wealth.

mbondo, James Mbondo, by the time your brother has run the caravan park for a few months it will only be worth R33.

Then your brother will sell it back to Koos for R25.20

Watch as this town that was once a profitable little hub giving local people jobs becomes a back water visited by none. When the new tender owners have run it into the ground it will be worth nothing. Progress the African way- take from someone else destroy and ask for the next hand out.

By the way do you think it is coincidence that the African country with the largest Whi.te population is also the richest? Wonder why that is?

You are a disgusting worm of a human being

Geez, cant you read, I said you were right, it was all the protests in the anc wards, go and google it numbnut, see for yourself, or would the truth hurt to much, did you know that kaya was only taken over by the DA this week or last in bi-elections and that is where the most protests were. Truth hurts hey, this shows you that the anc has failed the people and they are now going over to the better party. One by one the wards will be taken away by the DA. the fall of your anc is slowly but surely happening.
