 WHY DID FLOYD SHIVHAMBU DROP THE EFF FOR MKP? On Thursday the 15th August 2024 South Africa was greeted by the shocking news of the departure of one Floyd Shivhambu from the Economic Freedom Fighters. The Economic Freedom Fighters convened a Press Briefing in which Floyd Shivhambu announced his decision to leave the Economic Freedom Fighters to join the uMkhonto WeSizwe Party. Floyd Shivhambu did not provide the reasons behind his departure and promised to speak when the time is right and did not want to utilize the platform of the EFF as that would be tantamount to campaigning for the MKP on the EFF platform. Plenty of speculation has followed, with different media platforms reporting on the fallout between the two leaders who established the EFF. Floyd Shivhambu is a founding member of the Economic Freedom Fighters, together with Julius Malema they established the EFF back in 2013 this is after their exit from the ANC. Julius Malema was expelled from the ANC whilst Floyd

 CAN THE BREATHALYZER BE USED AS EVIDENCE AT WORK? Breathalyzer results can potentially be used as evidence at work, but this depends on several factors including: 1. Company Policies : Many companies have specific policies regarding alcohol use and testing. Ifan employee has agreed to these policies, the results of a breathalyzer test may be admissible as evidence for disciplinary action. 2. Consent : If an employee has consented to a breathalyzer test, either explicitly or through an agreement to company policies, the results are more likely to be used as evidence. 3. Legal Considerations: In some jurisdictions, there may be legal requirements or protections related to workplace testing. It is essential to ensure that the workplace complies with local laws and regulations. 4. Accuracy and Calibration : The breathalyzer equipment must be properly calibrated and maintained to ensure accurate results. Any challenge to the accuracy of the device could impact its admissibility

WHAT IS A 2 POT RETIREMENT SYSTEM?

 WHAT IS A 2 POT RETIREMENT SYSTEM? South Africa will see a major change in the retirement regime starting on the 1st of September 2024. It is a system which has come to be known as a two pot system, although it is actually a 3 pot system. This system comes into existence as a result of the intensive campaigning by the organized labour i.e Trade Unions mainly represented at the Nedlac platform. The major reason for this campaign which has ultimately resulted into the new retirement regime is to provide relief, financial relief to workers who are going through financial strain. The call to allow the workers to tap into their provident/pension funds started as far back as 2017, however, it intensified in 2020 during the Covid 19 Lockdown when the country came to a standstill and there was not much economic activity which meant a loss of earnings for the workers. Workers in South Africa are confronted by serious financial difficulties with some having their houses and cars rep

 DID NELSON MANDELA SELLOUT? July is known worldwide as Mandela Month emanating from the 18th of July being named the International Mandela Day by the United Nations as part of celebrating Madiba's birthday. The day started with the late statemen's instruction that people should dedicate 67 minutes of their time to public service, doing good for society on the 18th of July every year as a way of celebrating his birthday. The 67 minutes is a representation of the 67 years Nelson Mandela dedicated to the service of society. Later on the United Nation adopted this day and named it the International Mandela Day.

 EFF ATTACKS ON MK A DESPERATE MEDIA ATTENTION STUNT!. Last week Sunday we were woken up the news and a video of one Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi an Economic Freedom Fighters(EFF) leader and a Member of Parliament attacking President Jacob Zuma. This shocked and angered many within the Black progressive camp, the shock and anger was informed by the fact that the Economic Freedom Fighters which is the third largest political party in South Africa and has been selling itself as a vehicle for carrying the hopes and inspirations of the downtrodden masses(Black people) is now working hand in glove with the White Monopoly Capital in dismantling any attempts at uniting Black people. President Jacob Zuma with his establishment of the UMkhonto WeSizwe Political Party has effectively provided all Black progressive formations with a platform to unite and work on a minimum program for the total liberation of the Natives as the 1994 dispensation has dismally failed to do. What makes Jacob Zuma a

 MK,ANC,EFF,PAC,ATM,AZAPO COALITION IS THE SAFEST BET FOR BLACK PEOPLE! What is increasingly becoming clear it is that no political party will amass enough share of votes to attain the 50 plus percent needed to establish a government on its own. This is informed by different polls which have placed the governing African National Congress into the mid 40s at best interms of percentages . This simply means that South Africa is poised for a Coalition government at the National level and some few provinces such as Gauteng, KwaZulu Natal and the Western Cape. The previously mentioned provinces are governed by the African National Congress and the Democratic Alliance(Western Cape). In Gauteng the ANC scrapped through in the last Provincial elections to be able to govern that province, this is a province which is an economic hub not just of the country but for the continent. KwaZulu Natal is currently under the leadership of the ANC, however, the dynamics have shifted quite strong

 NEWSROOM AFRIKA 405 ANOTHER MOUTHPIECE OF THE WHITE MONOPOLY CAPITAL! The first of May this year marked the 5th Anniversary of the existence of the Newsroom Afrika 405 which came into air on the 1st of May 2019. The channel came as a replacement for the popular and progressive ANN7 which had occupied a very important space as an alternative voice from the white owned and controlled news channels such as ENCA. South African news space especially the 24hour channels is known to be dominated by ENCA and the SABC News which is a public broadcaster . The emergence of the ANN7 News Channel in 2013 was warmly received as it presented a possibility of having an alternative voice, a voice which is not dictated to by the selfish and narrow interests of the White Monopoly Capital. For the first time there existed a voice and a platform to counter the dominant narrative peddled by the White Monopoly Capital. Media Freedom is sinquanon to the prosperity of any country. The ANN7 was qui
