Pardon the long video, you need to hear the whole engagement. I am more angry than I was yesterday. 😤😡 Commissioner Khumalo took Andrea Johnson through Brigadier Mokwele's QUALIFICATIONS which she had not seen up till now!!!
Khumalo: What suitable qualifications do you say Ms. Mokwele did not have when she was appointed to this position?
Johnson: I don't know her qualifications.
There was a 4 minute pause with her trying to find the documents and look at them.
Having seen the qualifications....
Khumalo: Why make a statement under oath to this Commission that she did not have qualifications?
She has withdrawn and apologized, but Brigadier Mokwele MUST SUE HER and she MUST BE FIRED!! What a shame! 😭

Sweden is reintroducing printed books and handwriting into its classrooms. Once celebrated as a leader in digital education, the country is now directing significant resources toward traditional textbooks while limiting the use of tablets and screens, particularly for young students.
Swedish authorities attribute this policy shift to mounting evidence that excessive screen time may have harmed reading proficiency and basic skill development. The government has also announced plans to ban digital learning tools for children under six years old.
Scientific research on handwriting provides insight into the rationale. When children write by hand, they engage multiple brain areas responsible for motor control, visual processing, memory, focus, and language. Unlike typing, this process demands precise coordination of fine movements alongside letter recognition and word formation. Studies indicate that such multisensory engagement enhances letter knowledge, spelling, reading acquisition, and memory retention.
Printed books may similarly promote stronger comprehension. Research shows that people often retain information more effectively from physical pages than from digital displays. The tangible nature of paper offers spatial references that aid memory organization. In contrast, screen based reading, especially when interrupted by notifications or hyperlinks, can fragment attention and reduce deep focus.
This approach does not reject technology entirely. Computers and tablets continue to serve important roles in research, group projects, accessibility features, and interactive exercises. Education specialists emphasize the need for thoughtful integration, applying digital resources where they prove most effective while safeguarding core practices such as handwriting, printed materials, and direct teacher instruction.
Sweden's policy change mirrors growing international discussions about optimal screen time in schools. As educators worldwide evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of digital tools, many are reconsidering when traditional methods may better support fundamental learning.
Help us find this brother so we can assist him with lodging a complaint against @JoburgMPD
Lawlessness can never be celebrated!
@Jaca_Patrick we hope there’ll be a statement today on steps you will be taking on this matter and that these officers will be placed on suspension.

You are now listening to a relaxing frequency.
Take a moment to regulate your nervous system.
This sound aids in releasing happy hormones such as serotonin and endorphins naturally, regulating blood pressure and heart rate.
The word “umbrella” literally means “little shadow”
It comes from the Latin word ‘umbra’ meaning ‘shade’ — for thousands of years, umbrellas were designed to block sunlight, not rain
The ICC is a court of last resort when national processes are unable or unwilling to investigate. South Africa’s judiciary has the competence to deal with violations of national and international laws, as evidenced by the process that unfolded when Omar el Bashir was allowed to visit SA under an ICC indictment and the courts ruled against the SA Govt for not implementing its Rome Statute obligations. So based on the principle of complimentarity, this action appears premature based on the prescripts of the treaty that governs actions of the court.
Here is how a World Bank Loan Becomes Rand spending.
What do you notice?
🇿🇦Step 1: World Bank “Loans” $$$
🇿🇦Step 2: Treasury “Sells” To SARB
🇿🇦Step 3: SARB “creates Rands” 🤯
🇿🇦Step 4: Treasury “spends Rands” ✅
🇿🇦Step 5: Bank “reserves increase”
🇿🇦Step 6: Interest paid on Bank reserves
*Step 6 is an additional cost, that means there are two different liabilities that require servicing because of this loan.
1️⃣External dollar debt (world bank loan)
2️⃣Domestic monetary operations ( that’s Step 1 to Step 6 )
Summary:
This is called money creation. And it’s all done on digital screens. The ownership of dollars is transferred to SARB and SARB magically creates the Rands that
treasury can spend into the economy.
No World Bank Loan was needed to do that!
It is all simply balance sheet management, and ownership (claims) are moved around by adjusting accounting ledgers.
