There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: ANC Dumps Its Coalition Partners
[Note. According to recent reports the ANC is denying it is dumping its “coalition partners”. We’ll see. It could be that as their strength grows they will throw aside the fools and idiots who were moronic enough to engage in deals with them. Winner takes all!!
I do indeed hope that the biggest wimp of the white race, Martinus Van Schalkwyk of the NNP gets a good solid kick up his ass from the ANC. He really deserves it. Jan]
Fragile party political coalitions, which have created a semblance of stability in Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal over the past five years, were shattered yesterday as the African National Congress (ANC) tore into its partners in a bid to wrest direct control of all nine provinces.
The ANC will be pitting itself against its coalition partners, the New National Party (NNP) in Western Cape and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) in KwaZuluNatal, for the right to rule alone in the two provinces.
After a weekend lekgotla on election planning, the ANC’s national executive committee said these provinces remained, to varying degrees, “stuck in the pattern of apartheid rule”. Their residents were “deprived the freedom and progress enjoyed by the rest of the country”.
Finance Minister Trevor Manuel, addressing supporters at the Western Cape provincial launch of the ANC election manifesto in Guguletu, said outright ANC control of the province was necessary for the party to seize the political agenda and implement its antipoverty and job creation policies.
The ANC, Manuel said, was not satisfied with half of the government.
“Our plan is about delivering victory for the ANC in all nine provinces, without any apologies,” Manuel said.
However, ANC Western Cape leader Ebrahim Rasool was careful to stress that while the ANC wanted control so that it could drive its policies without compromise, it would not completely sideline the NNP after the poll.
The ANC wanted the “unfettered” ability to rule, he said.
Currently the coalition government with NNP leader Marthinus van Schalkwyk as Western Cape premier is based on the 1999 election outcome, which gave the ANC 42% of the vote and the NNP 38%.
Rasool has indicated that the allocation of the premiership would be up for discussion after the election.
In KwaZulu-Natal the IFP and ANC both hold roughly 40% of the vote.
IFP leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi said yesterday that the party’s coalition with the ANC in the province existed only in theory and was practically nonexistent.
Relations had soured, he said, following the promulgation of legislation which the IFP opposed allowing MPs and their provincial counterparts to cross the floor to a party of their choice without losing their seats.
The ANC stole our members,” he said. “Our relations are at zero point.”
Buthelezi would not say whether the IFP would be prepared to revive the coalition government it had with the ANC in the province after the elections.
“One political party the ANC now has the power to change the constitution as it wishes.
“It has shown that it is prepared to abuse the constitution for political convenience and expedience,” he said.
“To the people of SA, I ring the warning bells, to alert them to be very careful because if KwaZuluNatal falls under ANC hegemony, we may (be) squarely placed on a slippery slope, inevitably leading towards a one-party state,” Buthelezi said.
SA needed a democratic alternative to the ANC to win the war against HIV/AIDS, unemployment, crime, poverty and to prevent the consolidation of a one-party state. The IFP’s manifesto concentrated on these issues. With Sapa
