The Construction of Medieval Castles still blows the mind.
A stunning 11th-century fortress perched on the rugged northeast coast of England in Northumberland.
One of the largest inhabited castles in the UK, it stands as a breathtaking reminder of medieval engineering.
@Recon1_ZA We used to call it faction fighting. One of their national sport, entertainment. They used to have tribal fights on weekends, clubs, sticks, fists, this is just in different format.
Makes them feel special.
South Africa under the ANC has become a totalitarian, authoritarian Autocracy. New laws are continually introduced to oppress the white minority. Whites are told to fuck off back to Europe or America. Yet when they do start to F O, then the racists whine and send a traitor to the US,(RDM) to damp down the truth about SA govt's anti-white apartheid 2.0 laws and rules.
Vote out the corrupt ANC in order to restore law & order and grow the economy. No liberation movements, No communists, No radicalised Nationalists are fit to rule over anything. All the Commissions reveal systemic corruption in govt, but result in sham prosecutions.
Vote to rescue SA from the looters and plunderers.
@ewnupdates Has anyone checked at the borders to see with your own eyes how many illegals just walk/swim/crawl, are transported in by busload, catching taxis inland?
Solidarity seeks urgent answers on subsidy crisis threatening elderly care
Solidarity’s Social Workers’ Network has sent an urgent letter to the Gauteng Department of Social Development (DSD) and the MEC for Social Development, Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko, regarding delays in subsidy payments to organisations that provide essential services, particularly to the elderly.
According to Bianca Smit, coordinator of Solidarity’s Social Workers’ Network, organisations that care daily for some of the most vulnerable members of society are being placed in an impossible position, while they are still expected to continue delivering services without interruption.
This applies especially to organisations that provide home-based care to elderly people and that have historically relied on subsidies for funding.
“The department’s failure to pay subsidies, or even to provide clarity regarding funding, is not only placing organisations under severe pressure. It is also jeopardising the safety, health and dignity of elderly people,” says Smit.
“The organisations no longer know when funding will be paid, or whether it will be paid in future at all.”
The network was informed by members of the Pretoria Council for the Care of the Aged and the Silwerkroon Home-Based Care Programme that service-level agreements have still not been finalised and that funding has yet to be approved, despite the fact that services are expected to continue uninterrupted.
The department itself continues to refer elderly people to these organisations. Solidarity warns that the need for care does not disappear simply because subsidy payments are delayed.
“Elderly people do not become less vulnerable because the department falls behind with its administration.
“They remain dependent on social work services, home-based care, nutrition programmes, health monitoring and protective services. The state cannot neglect its responsibilities and expect welfare organisations to carry the burden alone,” says Smit.
According to information received by the network, several organisations are already on the brink of operational collapse. Services are being scaled back, fewer people can be assisted, and the loss of experienced and professional staff is becoming an increasing risk.
“When these organisations begin to buckle, it is not the department that bears the consequences first, but rather the elderly person sitting alone at home.
“It is the vulnerable older person who receives less support, and it is families who are suddenly left without assistance,” explains Smit.
Solidarity warns that the consequences are already becoming visible and believes pressure on families and communities is increasing, creating a heightened risk of neglect. The potential closure of community-based programmes will further worsen the situation.
Therefore, the Solidarity Social Workers’ Network demands that the department immediately provide clarity regarding the status of funding and publish timelines for outstanding payments.
Furthermore, meaningful consultation with service providers is essential, and an emergency plan must be implemented to safeguard the continued care of elderly people.
You can always follow the money trail. Now that the ANC is no longer getting money from some sources, the ICJ case is also starting to fade from the priority list. It was always a case that was more about the party and money, as well as hatred of Israel, rather than real principles.
The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.
For the 3rd time, Steenhuisen and his department have been thrashed in the High Court by Sakeliga, SAAI and Free State Agriculture, over his FMD policies. If he had any sense, he would now bury the hatchet and seek the cooperation of the farmers he so foolishly provokes. WSM’s column on @Politicsweb.

SHOCKING SCANDAL ALERT, SOUTH AFRICA! 🚨 Transnet just got BUSTED trying to SCREW local heroes and hand a MASSIVE multimillion-rand rail mega-deal to SIX foreign countries – while our own companies were LOCKED OUT!
Local bosses stormed the High Court, screaming it's a SLAP in the face to MILLIONS of desperate unemployed South Africans! Transnet whined they were "in a rush"... then folded like a cheap suit and yanked the entire tender!
You can't make this up, folks!
@Bee12178053@Rolandschoeman@HugoPretorius7@Our_DA@jsteenhuisen@geordinhl What do you suggest Dr Groenewald do? Get in his car & go round them up? Go take a police/parole officer by his ear & point him/her in the right direction to investigate & catch the parolees?
You should offer solutions when you criticise else you're blowing in the wind like Lewis
Leader Temu, start with your own minister of Agriculture @jsteenhuisen for a change.
Are you aware that he is directly responsible for a person's death due to his ignorant approach to FMD?
Millions of rands loss of income to farmers?
Thousands of animals culled due to him being a total ashole and denying farmers vaccines because of a court case that even the court scolded him over?
And then you have this asswipe statement about a summit. We know you guys think your voter base is stupid but don't twist words.
@PieterDuToit It's a mite reactive to follow the money.
Why not go on an effective and gatskop campaign as investigative journalists to prevent, monitor theft ?
We know the system's broken with all the thieves employed and govt not implementing measures to prevent the stealing.
Save SA Pieter
@geordinhl@Our_DA C’mon the the DA !!! Have you guys been running with ANC dogs for so long that you now have their fleas ….Steenhuizen’s arrogance, and now you picking a political pissing contest !! Keep the high ground, don’t sling mud , just delver FFS !!!!!
Our risk is now vindictiveness; that government grabs all vaccines which are imported, leaving nothing for private sector and farmers to acquire. Or that they suffocate private acquisition in administrative red tape and refuse permission to import. In some provinces the vaccines are stacked up in storage because government doesn't have the capacity to get it on farms
Today the ANC asked for your forgiveness. Then proceeded to table an unfunded budget, in a city that their own finance minister declared bankrupt.
You be the judge.
@TheoDJager Dear Lord what a predicament our farmers are in.
First the useless lot destroy institutions that manufacture and oversee vaccinations now they're in direct opposition with their citizens?
Unbelievable.
But then, it's really happening.
Will S A ever recover from the sabotage?
