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.

Allegations that former Western Cape Premier and current ambassador-designate to the United States, Ebrahim Rasool, paid members of the press corps to further his political interests whilst Premier, the Department of International Relations & Cooperation is duty bound to withhold his posting, until a full investigation into his conduct has taken place, stated Kenneth Mubu MP, Shadow Minister of International Relations and Cooperation.
An ambassador is supposed to represent a country and thus, should be beyond reproach. Mr Rasool should put South Africa first and withdraw from his appointment of his own volition, said Mubu.
Mubu added that Mr. Rasool's conduct as Premier in and of itself did not suggest him fit to represent South Africa abroad as the High Court found he had established the Erasmus Commission to pursue a political agenda. Abuse of his position, to promote himself and his faction in the ANC, eventually saw even the ANC act to remove him from office, which is not the behaviour of an objective public servant, said Mubu.
Recent media reports revealed that former Argus reporter, Ashley Smith, disclosed in an affidavit that Rasool had paid him in order to further his political interests in the media, payments which Smith received. Mr Smith further alleged that Rasool used him as his “front line of attack” against rivals in the African National Congress (ANC), particularly against provincial secretary Mcebisi Skwatsha.
Mubu stated that he would be writing to the Minister of International Relations & Cooperation, Ms Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, requesting she withhold the deployment of Mr. Rasool until these allegations have been investigated, and their merits tested.
