The SABC and South Africa’s Premier Soccer League have confirmed the national broadcaster will not show Absa Premiership matches.
As reported by News24, the new season of the Absa Premiership started today at 15:00 – with the SABC not showing the first match.
The PSL said that the nation may have to “accept that the SABC is incapable of meeting its requirements”.
It said the situation is “unacceptable going forward”.
With 4500 civil claims against the police in Gauteng, 139 lost service weapons and only 38% of police officials who passed their shooting competency tests, the people of Gauteng cannot trust or take the Department for Community Safety seriously.
South Africa and Gauteng are on fire. The reasons for this are infinite and call for a debate on its own. The budget allocated to the Gauteng Department for Community Safety means nothing if the officials are incompetent and if the structures are riddled with corruption.
Illegal land grabs and farm attacks are on the rise in Gauteng and the ANC government cannot offer any solutions. In Lenasia and Hekpoort, innocent people have landed in the crossfire because the ANC made opportunist yet empty promises.
The latest Eskom financial report just released shows once again that the entity is causing the country’s financial collapse.
The shock announcement that the power supplier is showing a net loss of R20.7bn for the financial year confirms that Eskom is holding the ANC regime hostage.
If the ANC regime wants to see the country get electricity, then they have to pay what is demanded…
The situation has become volatile in the Lenasia South region of Ennerdale in Johannesburg, as protests have engulfed major routes through to the city. It has been reported that blockades made from debris and burning tyres have caused a serious traffic nightmare for commuters on Thursday morning.
Although we’re awaiting official verification, it seems that the protests are linked to a recent spate of land invasions in Lenasia. The acts of land occupation have split the community, who also have their grievances with service delivery in the area and a rising tide of criminal activity.
Natal Prime Minister announced that the ANC-regime is continuing financial support to the Zulu king Goodwil Zwelithini.
The “king” will receive R66.7 million despite the country experiencing an economic crisis as Zwelithini is protecting the Zulu culture and being seen as a symbol of unity in the Natal province.
For months now, the Hekpoort/Magaliesburg area has been troubled by the actions of riotous people who block roads, destroy infrastructure, burn down pasture for animals and even torch private vehicles and trucks. All because they were promised land and houses, but it did not happen.
The destruction in Hekpoort, the valleyed agricultural community that borders on the well-known Cradle of Humankind heritage area, is a direct consequence of the opportunist pre-election promises that the ANC made to residents but did not keep.
Protesters are preventing people from travelling to their farms and businesses and motorists often have to take detours just to reach their destinations.
Five people have been arrested for allegedly stealing 30 sheep, which they loaded into a taxi in Aliwal North, Eastern Cape.

NASPERS (Network24, News24) asked us to remove this post below. What is it that Netwerk24 wants to hide from poor people from SA, who cannot afford subscriptions to NASPERS or Medical Funds? Do NASPERS want poor people to be under the wrong impression that state hospitals are absolutely good, and when they arrive in an emergency, are they left for dead by negligence, which is not only deliberate, but also often racist? As many people are now discovering, mass media have long forgotten what real journalism is, and they rather just repeat the excuses of the authorities, rather than pointing out the reasons for the misery.
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhebane found in her inquiry report that the payment of R500,000 to Ramaphose by Bosasa, was wrongful and that the president is guilty of violating the code of ethics for executive members . Ramaphosa argued the money was deposited into a trust account for services rendered by his son, Andile.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC) has released a new report focusing on the countries with the highest murder rates.
The study seeks to shed light on gender-related killings, lethal gang violence and other challenges, with the aim of bringing homicide rates around the world.
The data shows that the overall number of people who suffered a violent death as a result of homicide increased in the past quarter of a century, from 395,542 in 1992 to 464,000 in 2017.
However, because the global population has risen faster than the increase in recorded homicide victims, the overall risk of being killed in homicides has declined steadily.
