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 – At least 103 people died in natural disasters since mid-December last year, the ministry for co-operative governance said on Monday evening.

Most of the fatalities were in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, said spokesperson Vuyelwa Qinga.

About 14 420 households were affected and 6 200 of them were in KwaZulu-Natal.

The province also had the highest figure (5 000) for the number of informal and formal houses that were damaged.

A total of 13 043 were damaged nationally – 3 000 were in the Free State and rest in the Eastern Cape, Limpopo, North West and the Northern Cape.

“Total estimated financial costs resulting from the various incidents is R3.6bn plus an additional R409m indicated by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries,” said Qinga.

“These costs are based on information coming from the Provincial Disaster Management Centres and municipalities. They are still to be verified by experts,” she said.

The ministry said that due to a global climate situation, rains in South Africa would continue until May “and even beyond”.
