WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. 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.

Johannesburg’s City Power faces a strike from Monday if a man accused of racism is not removed from its Lenasia depot, the SA Municipal Workers Union said on Friday.

Spokesperson Michael Khorombi said 150 workers at the depot of the power utility, which is already strained by a national power crisis, downed tools on Friday demanding the removal of an electrical team leader.

Khorombi alleged that he racially insulted colleagues, said “f**k you” to them, and spoke to them like children, sometimes in front of customers.

Khorombi told Sapa the union was meeting with City Power management on Friday afternoon in the hopes of having him removed and an investigation conducted.

If this fails, all City Power workers will go on strike on Monday.

“If all 1 900 workers at City Power down tools on Monday, this will seriously disrupt Johannesburg’s electricity supply,” he said.

A City Power spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.

In the last few weeks a number of high profile incidents have raised concerns about racism.

Soccer boss Irvin Khoza apologised this week for calling a journalist a “k****r” at a press conference, the University of the Free State is investigating the filming of a video widely condemned as racist, and the SA Human Rights Commission hosted a heated forum on whether the Forum of Black Journalists should be allowed to exclude its white peers. – Sapa
