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.

South Africa’s labour laws need tightening, says the ANC, while the DA feels they are too rigid, it emerged at a meeting in Johannesburg on Wednesday.
ANC general-secretary Gwede Mantashe told a business meeting in Sandton that there was a prevailing “myth” that South Africa’s labour laws were rigid.
“Research has come up with the opposite results… one thing that is difficult to open is a closed mind… once you say there is rigid labour legislation and repeat it, you close your mind.
“That is what South Africans are suffering from,” Mantashe told the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Political parties had been invited to address organised business on their economic positions and took advantage of the opportunity to unpack their election manifestos to a captive audience.
Mantashe added there was nothing “as easy as firing a worker in South Africa”.
He said what the ANC proposed was finding a way to protect vulnerable workers and also to look into contract labour and outsourcing.
He added however that the ruling party was not proposing outlawing contract work, rather it would look at ways to ensure workers were not exploited.
The Democratic Alliance, on the other hand called for increased flexibility in the country’s labour laws.
The party’s new chief whip Ian Davidson said the government needed to take a critical look at its labour regulations.
He said the current laws were inhibiting investment, adding that more flexibility was required.
Congress of the People president Terror Lekota missed his initial chance to air his views after arriving about an hour late. He was expected to do so shortly. – Sapa
