Apologies JoJo, I know the politics of other countries, especially the complex, corrupt politics of African countries, can be boring.

The only pics I am able to supply are these:


SAJBD Welcome


I see the SAJBD has also condemned the Brandon Huntley Canadian refugee case. Seems they don't regard BEE as a form of racism against SA whites/non blacks.

SAJBD rejects portrayal of SA as being anti-white

Well Jozi, when you're RIGHT, you're RIGHT.
I can't fathom why these folk would get involved with stuff like that. I can't see that it's any of their business. They should stick to badmouthing Goldstone for his Gaza report. I guess everyone wants to appease the "New President" (Zuma).
Maybe they want to suck up to him to stay in his good books.

The link says - "The SAJBD believes that South Africa is a country that goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure justice and equality for every sector of its diverse population.
For further comment, contact Zev Krengel (082 557 9681) or Wendy Kahn (083

EXTRAORDINARY LENGTHS and yet the crime is still through the stratosphere.

Who knows. Not Me.

Who knows. Not Me.

You don’t know how much I actually want to be WRONG about all this BS Danny! If I were wrong it would mean I could stop rolling the dice about going home, just buy that plane ticket and land in a truly free South Africa (You know, the one Mandela promised).

Echoing JoJo, the following is just my humble opinion:

Whether you are a South African Jew, Brit (ahem, the ones that actually admit to being benefactors of apartheid SA), Afrikaner Whitey, Blackie, Asian, Coloured, whatever. We all know that South Africa is NOT free.

Lara and Lorraine, the 2 good looking Jewish sisters, actually exist, I met them whilst working for “Uncle Harry” in downtown Marshalltown, Johannesburg. They were not “evil jews”, they also voted for Mandela because they truly believed what he promised. (especially Lara, because the non jewish man of her dreams also happened to be “not quite white”). So this is not an essay of conspiracy against Jews.

At the time, we all thought working for “Uncle Harry” was an honour, a man so openly outspoken against Apartheid, he was the “saviour” and the Afrikaner was the “big bad enemy”.

But working so closely in the areas of accountancy, media, patents and other legal issues, as we did, brought about a paradigm shift. Incidents that left us stunned about the power of Uncle Harry and his “ability” to manipulate SA politics and finance.

Lara and Lorraine, both still in SA, even recently speculated that “Mandela was orchestrated” because Uncle Harry’s operations in Southern Africa was drawing just too much attention under “white rule”. That is why many people believe that all that has changed in SA is that a “black elite” has replaced the previous “white elite”, it’s just much less hassle and easier to manipulate.

The true victims of Apartheid, the poorest of the poor, still without electricity and proper nutrition in those black townships created under British Colonial Rule, has seen no change. The focus is now on crime and Aids, which draws a lot less international attention than openly declared Racism. Uncle Harry’s operations is now listed on the London Stock Exchange and for him, it’s business as usual in Southern Africa.

Call us suspicious, conspiracy theorists, whatever you like. As I said before, I would love to be proven WRONG, because then I can go home and look for a job based on my abilities, not my colour. (sounds just like Apartheid SA, does it not?)

JoziJoe, If you had read what the very people you have attacked have written on other threads you would have seen that by and large, we are all singing from the same hymn sheet regarding lack of service delivery and performance.
wether it is a conspiracy by Big Business I have no idea.
But to date you have attacked Brits, Jews, Afrikaners and Black South Africans.
Its taken three pages to come down to the nitty gritty.
That Anglo American had the power to influence .
And that most of the Corporates moved offices out of SA in case they were Nationalised.
I thought that Nicky and Gordon had taken themselves out of Anglo and de Beers when they sold out to a BEE Consortium?
AFIK, they still hold majority of CSO?
As to power, Anton Rupert and John Schlesinger wielded as much and used it the same way.
I refer to the meetings in Lusaka,Zurich and England.

Whatever, you want to figure its the Illuminati, go ahead.

Predictably, I was expecting a response from the social police on this Forum (kudos to you Chinasings)

We may all sing from the same hymn sheet but we serve different Masters Daxk, I knew that the day you called Ghandi a racist!

Thank you God, there is something that the great Daxk admits he does not know!
But when I previously suggested something along these lines, you and your comrade Halo condemned and tried to put me in the "thingy" box, remember, quick change of mindset there Daxk?

And your point is? Are you paying for the Server Storage Space of this Forum?
Do you dictate how I will express myself?

You should know the name of the game in SA by now Daxk, change of name/sellout does not necessarily equate change of power. eg Infoplan is still alive and well in SA, living under a BEE name. I have not followed Uncle Harry & Son's recent footprints, so I really don't know.

That is your spaced out terminology that you try to box me in with Daxk, I truly don't know much about them and I don't have time to sit and read all day like you do, I have merely shared my very OWN experiences regarding Uncle Harry.

And as for Anton Rupert, Uncle Harry had many eager beavers dining at his table, including Afrikaner politicians like Voster, Pik Botha. Lucrative career choices! For what it is worth, it is also speculated that those with their own ideas, that did not want to dine at the table, received, amongst other nasties, extremely bad press reports!

Keep following those dots Daxk, you have the time and you are so good at it, who knows, you might even spot the umbilical cord all the way to the financial heart of Mother Britain.

Illuminati? I must admit, as I watched a forensic team scrape skull and blood fragments off the ceiling in the office of a legal advisor who worked in downtown Marshalltown, who had supposedly committed suicide, I looked at Uncle Harry's smiling, autographed picture on the wall (he had one in every office of that building you know) and the word..... Maffia...... came to mind....
that's all.
