Made a list of Sotho and Khoisan words for those interested.

I wanna say that this 100% proves a Kalahari origin for pioneering Sotho-Tswana groups and also interesting to see more Khokhoe words than "San" in Sesotho the same for Setswana.

The NUM is taking the South African government to court over the plans to “unbundle” Eskom.

The government won’t say where it learned this “unbundling”stuff from, because if the public were to find out, it could become awkward very quickly.

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s government claims that its unbundling project is just a technical exercise to separate Eskom into different functions and establish an independent transmission company to improve efficiency.

But there is a much bigger ideology hiding underneath the word “unbundling” because South Africa is not inventing this model from scratch.

The South American country of Chile, under one of the most notorious dictatorships of the twentieth century, did the unbundling thing first.

For those who are not up to speed, 53 years ago, a military general named Augusto Pinochet led the 11 September 1973 CIA-sponsored military coup that overthrew Chile’s democratically elected socialist president, Salvador Allende.

Pinochet subsequently ruled Chile as dictator until 1990. The Chilean National Library describes his regime as a dictatorship characterised by human-rights violations and the implementation of a neoliberal economic model.

His regime dissolved Congress, restricted political parties, imposed censorship and used detention, torture and disappearances against political opponents.

Chile’s National Library records the use of political repression, including detention, torture and disappearances of thousands of people under the dictatorship. Amnesty International likewise documents the still unresolved human-rights violations committed under Pinochet's government.

Now, let’s briefly see how what Cyril Ramaphosa is doing and how is straight from the Pinochet manual.

In 1978, Chile established its National Energy Commission. From 1981, the existing state electricity system began to be broken up and generation and distribution activities were separated into different commercial companies.

At the 2019 State of the Nation Address, President Ramaphosa announced that Eskom would be unbundled into three separate entities of generation, transmission and distribution.

Then at this year’s SONA the President again said, “We are restructuring Eskom and establishing a fully independent State-owned transmission entity. This entity will have ownership and control of transmission assets and be responsible for operating the electricity market.

Given the importance of this restructuring for the broader reform of the electricity sector, I have established a dedicated task team under the National Energy Crisis Committee to address various issues relating to the restructuring process, including clear timeframes for its phased implementation. It will report to me within three months”.

Back to Pinochet. It’s crucial to note that Chile, the most rabidly neoliberal government in history did not simply sell the state electricity company.
It first changed the structure of the electricity industry. Only subsequently did large-scale privatisation begin.

In a 2004 paper titled Electricity Reform in Chile Lessons for Developing Countries, Michael Pollitt from the University of Cambridge is explicit that Chile’s large-scale privatisation began several years after the restructuring process had already begun.

Specifically, Pinochet’s sequence was to unbundle → commercialise → establish market rules → and then finally privatise.

The difference is that “privatisation” is politically explosive in South Africa. Even the former CEO of Investec Stephen Koseff cautioned President Ramaphosa against throwing that word around, and to simply call it anything else, but “just do it”.

So government is not about to say:
“We are privatising Eskom”. In fact, it can legitimately say that it isn’t since the transmission company is intended to remain state-owned, at least for now.

Instead, Cyril’s government says it’s just “unbundling” the SOE. Technically, this is correct but it’s also a half-truth because unbundling is not the end of the reform. We know this because that’s how Chile did it with the only difference being that unlike Ramaphosa, Pinochet did not need to deny it. He just tortured and disappeared his critics.

The seriousness of South Africa imitating Pinochet cannot be overstated when you consider how under him, Chile became the testing ground for radical free-market policies that were so extreme that the chief proponent, Milton Friedman had to test them out over there as they were deemed too extreme and too incompatible with democracy for the United States itself.

The point here is that Chile’s unbundling was not an isolated administrative exercise, which is what the SA government is pretending it is, and NUM appears to be opposing this because it sees Eskom being deliberately weakened and placed on a path towards privatisation by stealth.

I hope her plea reaches the powers that be 🙏🏾.

Meet Dr Thakgalo Thibela, 24-year-old remarkable Medical Doctor, at age 21 she became the youngest female Medical Doctor in South Africa after obtaining a Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery from Wits University.

She was born and raised in Violet Bank, a village in the small town of Bushbuckridge in Mpumalanga.

She attended Farel Primary School where she was smart enough & skipped Grade 7, enrolled straight to Lehlasedi High School where she also did not do Grade 9. Dr Thibela was promoted from Grade 6 to 8 & from Grade 8 to 10 due to her academic excellence & completed her matric with 7 distinctions at the age of 15.

At age 16, she received a bursary from Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) & enrolled at Wits, where she successfully graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) in December 2020 at the age of 21.

She completed her Internship at Helen Joseph Hospital & her Community Service at Mapulaneng Hospital & intends on becoming a Neurosurgeon in the nearest future. Sadly, Dr Thakgalo Thibela is currently unemployed, willing & ready to serve anywhere in South Africa.

"I happen to find myself as part of the 800+ unemployed doctors in South Africa currently. I am willing & ready to serve anywhere in the country but that opportunity is not being afforded to me. I became a doctor because I wanted to help people & not being able to do just that has been mentally taxing. Please help," said Dr Thakgalo Thibela.

TRANS TAKEOVER: Five 'trans women' dominate female volleyball game

We went to a college female varsity volleyball game… and a 'sausage-fest' broke out! FIVE men, pretending to be women, were on the court. Why?

Just when you thought transanity couldn’t get any worse…

Last Wednesday, Rebel News was tipped off that the Centennial Colts were hosting the Seneca Sting in a female volleyball contest in Toronto. But not all the players were actually biological females…

Indeed, we were stunned to find out that no fewer than FIVE men were pretending to be women (three on Seneca; two on Centennial.)

At times it was hard to watch. The men were definitely the dominant players on the court – especially when it came to spiking the ball. Indeed, our volleyball insider told us that the situation is so dire that it is no longer safe for biological women to compete.

Our source, who wishes to remain anonymous given the scourge that is cancel culture, stated the following:

“Recently, there have been two major head injuries to female volleyball athletes in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) caused by transgender men [‘transwomen.’] The first injury, on November 12, 2023, was a concussion caused by C.L. Viloria who plays the middle position for Centennial College. During a game at Centennial College vs. La Cite Collegiate, Viloria attacked the ball with heavy force and hit a La Cite volleyball player in the head.

The second injury, on January 22, 2024, was a concussion caused by a transgender woman, Franz Largadas. During a game at Seneca College vs. La Cite Collegiate, Largadas attacked the ball with heavy force and hit a La Cite player in the head. In the 2022-23 season Franz was listed on the Seneca College men’s volleyball team roster and is now on the women’s volleyball team roster this year.

In both instances the players had to be substituted off the court. Although injuries do occur in the sport, the sheer force of a man’s volleyball attack is much more powerful than one of a biological women’s force.

Currently, there are six transgender men in the OCAA. Five of which are not on any gender-affirming hormone therapy or have not had surgical gonad removal. There is no current policy in the OCAA that is listed publicly on their website about eligibility of transgender women.”

Indeed, apparently the OCAA is fine if a man identifies as a woman or a woman identifies as a man – and presumably, we all identify as lobsters… It’s “human rights” accommodation, you see. Despicable wokeness…

Almost as rotten was the fact that staffers at Centennial College were clearly trying to cover up this grotesque charade of men playing against women. Rebel News employees were continually harassed, our cameras were blocked, and at one point, security guards told us we had to leave because we were causing “a disturbance” in the stands.

It was trumped up rubbish, of course. Perhaps these security guards are aiming for a gig with the RCMP?

We held our ground and continued to observe the travesty occurring on the court. It wasn’t pretty… nor fair.

The best-of-five series eventually concluded with Seneca winning three games to one; no surprise there given that the Sting had three male players and Centennial only had two. Meaning Centennial was literally “outmanned.”

We tried to scrum Largadas and Viloria post-game, as well as the other fake female players: Ara Telan, Jess Garcia, and Jaque Ronquillo.

All of them were tight-lipped, as were their biological female teammates (don’t want to be accused of “transphobia” after all…)

And for the crime of asking insensitive questions, we were threatened by security guards that we’d be “trespassed” if we did not leave the venue immediately.

Again, much like rugby and swimming, men pretending to be women are destroying female sports although you would never know that if you got your news exclusively from the mainstream media. These taxpayer-funded stenographers wouldn’t dream of offending their trans-happy sugar daddy Justin Trudeau, so MSM outlets never cover this nonsense.

But as these gender-bending grifters continue to gut female sports, we pose the question yet again: where oh where are the feminists? Or are modern day feminists okay with misogyny in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion?
