Publication of the National Road Traffic Regulations for Comments

The Minister of Transport intends to amend the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2000, and acting in terms of section 75 (6) of the National Road Traffic Act, 1996 (Act No. 93 of 1996) published the proposed for comments. (REGULATIONS)

Here is my comments on this proposed amendments:

Input/comments on Publication of the National Road Traffic Regulations for Comments

Input/comments on proposed regulation 107D

Unfortunately the motivation/reasoning for this proposed regulation is not known, but my guess is that the current system of issuing driving licence cards are either a total flop as it does not ensure that persons tested for first time licences are equal to the task to drive a motor vehicle, or it is marred with bribery or forgery allowing people to drive vehicles without legally obtained licenses.

The reason for my guess is that why should a person who has his license for 20 or 30 years and never made an accident in these many years of driving now be punished to be re-examined every five years for his license? Or, is this just another money-making scheme to milk the public once again to fill the coffers of the local municipalities? Two months ago I had to pay R280.00 just for the new re-issued card. What will this ‘additional’ burden cost the public now?

The solution does not lay with punishing law-abiding citizens by over-regulating them because a person who did not obtain his license lawfully will use the same unlawful avenues to by-pass this over-regulating proposed regulation too – just think back to the gun-laws aiming to curb unlawful/unregistered fire-arms. What happened? It is still a gangsters’ paradise for illegal fire-arm bearers because I do not know of one armed robber who went or failed his fire-arm license test/examination or who handed in his illegal fire-arms!

Therefore, do not address the symptoms but address the cause of illegal drivers’ licenses or incompetent drivers by cleaning up/renovating the current system of testing drivers/issuing licenses.

Input/comments on the amended regulation 292

As with my input/comments on the proposed regulation 107D, the same principles are applicable here. Why in heavens name decrease the speed limit if drivers are not even adhering to the current speed limits. The Minister of Transport must please visit Nigel (Gauteng) for a week from Monday to Sunday to observe how people (not citizens with drivers’ licenses from 20 and more years on but youngsters with or without licenses as young as 14 years) who make a mockery of the speed limit in town and the road traffic rules and signs and terrorizing law-abiding citizens. And the reason? There is no road traffic law-enforcing in town! So, once again, do not treat the symptom, but address the cause by ensuring law-enforcement to the letter of the act! (And with law-enforcement I do not mean bribing traffic officers!) PS: unlawfulness regarding road traffic regulations or rules are not only endemic to Nigel but to every road or street in South Africa. The past weekend I went to Pretoria and back via the N17, N3 and N1. What a nightmare as drivers with the super-rich vehicles speed pass you at breathtaking speeds!

Thank you.

Old white men, a younger white woman and the state of black outrage’

Follow the link to the article of Ferial Haffajee, the editor of City Press which she wrote for News24. Old white men, a younger white woman and the state of black outrage’

This is typical of everyone blaming  Apartheid and the Whites for the everything that went wrong since the ANC took over in 1994, rather than addressing the problems and getting rid of the idiots who caused these problems and downfall of everything that was/is good.

Here is my friend Nigel's response to this article:

'Response to your article ‘Old white men, a younger white woman and the state of black outrage’ on News24.com - 15 May 2015

Let me start with Sparks and Verwoerd. Sparks is quite correct - Verwoerd was clever, very clever, he was a genius! But let us look beyond the Apartheid issue. Remember the NP took over from the British/English orientated United Party in 1948 and from there it was just one-way forward! With Verwoerd at the helm of the NP Government the railroad infrastructure of the country was overhauled and upgraded which was equal to the best in the world; the provision of water supplies to every corner of the country were established which even reached blacks (Wow! Can you believe this!); EVKOM (Oops! You will better know it as ESKOM) was established taking electricity to every corner of the country (Wow! Even blacks benefitted from it!); then he tackled the public service and transformed it into a mean machine that was one of the best in the world; he established an education system that was the envy of the world, etc., etc.

That was Verwoerd and the NP. Then came Mandela and the ANC - from day one they took over it was just one way backward, down the drain. Everything was destroyed in the space of 20 years! - in Afrikaans there is the nice saying: hulle het die land deur hulle gatte getrek! It is now 50 and more years ago that Kenia, the Belgian Congo, etc, gained independence from the so-called “European oppressors” and where are they now? Down the drain! Last year with the election in Kenia the government called upon Obama as he had roots  Kenia to assist Kenia to address the chaos the country was in. What a joke!

Like Zuma and the ANC is carrying on now, it won’t take another 30 years before South Africa is where the rest of Africa is - it seems they put this destruction vehicle in overdrive! Think for yourself, was it not for the white man in Africa, Africa would just have been one big rubbish dump! (Please, send me a copy of your book What if there were no whites?)

Then poor old Zelda. Ag, please! Is that such an issue? This is typical symptomatic of the inferior or paranoia complex the previous disadvantage persons have! Get a life, it is now what, 21 years since ‘independence’ and you still look back, still feel aggrieved, still despising the whites? This is why good old South Africa is down the drain! The bad news for you is that I am here to stay. And as long as the ANC or any government is messing up this beautiful country I will criticise them, and I will compare it with what this country had to offer before Mandela and the ANC start breaking it down.

In conclusion, the state of black outrage. Ag, shame. All I can say is get a life and start building up what you have destroyed! You future is not in the hands of the whites - it is in your own hands!

Thank you.

I just love it!

Is the Hitlerism?

http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/57-arrested-for-Woolies-protest-20141025-3

http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Woolworths-Pigs-head-incident-appalling-20141024

Is this hitlerism? Or should I rather call it Mugaberism?  Because it seems these 2 incidents are out of Mugabe’s handbook .

What is the ANC doing?

Turning a blind eye as usual?

Will this be eventual the new policy direction of the ANC?

Where is the Bill of Rights? Or is it only for certain groups?

What is next?

No Sex for Oscar and Reeva?

http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/Oscar_Pistorius/No-sex-for-Reeva-and-Oscar-says-June-Steenkamp-20141026

Read this and believe what you want!!

But what I know is that Oscar may have a roaring sex life in prison!

It works like this:

Without his prostheses he will be the ideal sex mate for the hardened prisoners and they are constantly looking for ‘new blood’ coming into the prison and without legs he will be sought after as he cannot run away!

The next benefit is that he will neatly fit into a self-made kangaroo poach and he will be what they call ‘sex on the go’.

 

There you have it - maybe he did not had sex with Reeva, but here in in prison he can make up for lost opportunities! 

Oscar, enjoy!

Do not invite trouble ladies

A man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very sexy nightie. 'Tie me up,' she purred, 'and you can do anything you want.'

So he tied her up and went drinking with his pals.

The Jalopy Called South Africa

The wheels of the jalopy called South Africa is now coming off thick and fast.

There is:

1. Zuma ignoring the Nkandla debacle and does not even whisper a word whilst his country needs to know what happened there;

2. Zuma attending the UN-meeting and tell the world how they must handle the conflict between Israel and Gaza (siding with the terrorists of Gaza but we know why - the ANC is a known for their terrorist activities), pointing the fingers to developed countries on the Ebola crisis in Africa and tell the world how they should pump in money for poor Africa - yes the same man whose country is in turmoil and burning whilst he is playing the violin in the UN;

3. The never-ending problems of Eskom supplying enough electricity for South Africa, once again blaming Apartheid for everything whilst they are more than 20 years into the joke called democracy;

4. Rand Water Board failing to maintain their infrastructure and causing havoc in Gauteng when they could not provide sufficient water. And what did they do? Blamed it on an outdated infrastructure. Yes, the same Rand Water Board who is now for more than 20 years into the new democracy but doing nothing for more than 20 years;

5. The EFF causing havoc in parliament and what does the useless ANC say? They blame the DA for siding with the EFF. Yes, the same ANC who say this country is a democracy! What a joke;

The Post Office who nobody in this country knows whether they are striking again or whether they are still striking. When do you miss the Post Office the most - when they are not striking or striking? Is the Post Office bankrupt or not? They themselves do not know!;

7. The Police Commissioner who was so happy that crime has decrease but in the meantime the stats for murder went up!!!  Then she and the ANC expect us to trust and respect the police - What a joke!

8. And the never-ending service delivery mayhem. Poor sods, election after election they vote for the ANC because of free house but the next day burn and destroy everything around them because the ANC local municipalities are too pathetic to deliver!

9. Do not forget the Public Protector who cannot do her work properly;

10. Oh yes, do forget the never-ending sing-song of equity and transformation and about the whites who still have too much influence in the country.

Poor old South Africa, already down the drain like the rest of Africa and Zuma still give a damn!
