South Africa: McBride’s presence in Parliament questioned

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.

Is Robert McBride set to be the new director-general of the Northern Cape?

This was the question asked yesterday by Neville Mompati, provincial leader of COPE in the Northern Cape, at the State of the Province debate in Upington.

“We note with concern the presence of Robert McBride at last week’s State of the Province address.

“In the wake of rumours that he is earmarked by the ruling party to take over as director-general in your office, honourable Premier (Hazel Jenkins), his attendance on the day seemed rather conspicuous,” Mompati said.

“The Congress of the People cautions you not to consider this appointment. The Northern Cape should not be a dumping ground for notorious figures with chequered pasts, and we urge you to consider a more credible appointee to replace your current acting director- general.”

McBride, former Ekurhuleni police chief, is on trial in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless or negligent driving, defeating the ends of justice and fraud.

The case is expected to resume on March 23.

There is also a CCMA hearing under way following McBride’s attempts to get his job back after he was sacked when he publicly stepped in to help deal with xenophobic attacks in 2008. At the time he was on special leave, pending the completion of his criminal trial.

Even though his contract with the Ekruhuleni municipality ended in November, 2008, McBride contended he had been led to believe he would be kept on until the World Cup. He argued at the CCMA that his dismissal was unfair and in violation of his collective agreement.
