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 – South Africa is on the “verge” of joining the ranks of dysfunctional states as the effects of corruption debilitate all spheres of life, the chairperson of a constitutional watchdog said on Wednesday.
“In the changing circumstances of our times, a conservative assault on the Constitution from some of the most powerful in our society threatens to fatally undermine our capacity to overcome poverty and inequality,” Sipho Pityana, the chairperson of the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (CASAC) said.
“It is now beyond doubt that corruption and patronage are so pervasive, rampant and crippling in our society that we are on the verge of being deemed a dysfunctional state…”
Legal, institutional weaknesses
Pityana said a study by CASAC had found three potentially crippling legal and institutional weaknesses in South Africa – a lack of effective monitoring and enforcement agencies, no institution with a clear mandate to drive educational campaigns on corruption and no “true” independence for organisations tasked with fighting corruption.
CASAC, he said, was proposing “a dedicated, independent agency” that would be responsible and accountable for the investigation of corrupt activities alongside “pro-active preventive measures” such as education of the public.
Pityana said the agency would need significant political support to ensure that it was well funded.
“If there is truly no political will to address corruption, no mechanism existing or proposed can succeed,” he said.
