Air Tanzania Revival: Tender for Provision of Indvidual Consultancy Service to Prepare a Comprehensive Five Year Business Plan for Air Tanzania Company Limited (21.03.2017)









“It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realise that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality. The first step therefore is to make the black man come to himself; to pump back life into his empty shell; to infuse him with pride and dignity, to remind him of his complicity in the crime of allowing himself to be misused and therefore letting evil reign supreme in the country of his birth” – Steven Biko
Henceforth the tries to silence and stop President Jacob Zuma will either be futile or be for show, as the first time to vote “No Confidence” failed in November 2016. This after the failing show in the National Assembly as the Capture of State Report revealed the knitted connection between the investor family of Gupta and the Zuma Administration. Still, the African National Congress stood by like gullible stooges to the charade of progress. ANC have played a fool by the Zuma clan and the Gupta empire. This to a stage where the involvements of Gupta in changes of government really occurred this week.
Yet after the State of Caputre report and of all the cases involved corruption, together with the questionable back-payment on the Nkandla Village Project. There been enough to impeach the South African President. Not like he has tried to be innocent, the cases has been pilled up and the connections to the Oakbay Resources and other enterprises of the Gupta Empire is evident. It is like he stopped caring, because in his heart. He believes he can get away. But first, take a look!
DA’s New Motion against President Zuma:
“That the House resolves, in terms of section 102(2) of the Constitution of South Africa, 1996, that it has no confidence in Mr Jacob G Zuma as President of the Republic of South Africa on the grounds of his continued irrational, irresponsible and reckless leadership. President Zuma’s decision to recall Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan and his deputy, Mcebisi Jonas from an international roadshow aimed at increasing investor confidence, had the exact opposite effect which was seen in the plummeting of the rand. Furthermore, the President’s continued reckless and irrational behavior surrounding the position of the Minister of Finance has resulted in an economic crisis. Such a crisis was seen previously when Minister Nene was summarily fired from the same position in December 2015. That President Zuma has chosen to deliberately repeat his actions is evidence that he has lost all sense of rationality and sound judgement. These actions will result directly in job losses and will thus be most profoundly felt by the poor and most vulnerable citizens in South Africa. President Zuma’s derelict leadership has resulted in a collapse of public confidence in the President of the Republic of South Africa, has created a government at war with itself and ultimately has undermined efforts to restore confidence in the South African economy. There can be no confidence in such a President” (DA, 30.03.2017).

That the President uses an Intelligence reports for his actions to fire all of the ministers and reshuffle the cabinet, without any for-warning. That the Finance Minister had a ploy called ‘Operation Check Mate’ that was already in the works, like a John Grisham spy-novels. There haven’t been any clues or evidence of it, it is just as if the President needed a final nail in coffin to sack Pravin Gordhan. As he again, questioned the certain investment that would in effect give a massive bonus to one of the Gupta companies. So that a Bank owned by Gupta’s could get sold and the profits made quickly. The same efforts as the revealed nuclear energy deal in 2015. So the pattern is crystal clear.
The Constitution is just a doormat to the Zuma Presidency, he couldn’t care less, unless he and his cronies get paid or hired. What matter isn’t the delivery to the commoners, neither is the service due diligence, as long as the Gupta Companies get wealthy. Because the profits of Gupta’s will benefit the Zuma administration.
IT doesn’t matter if the Democratic Alliance with Mmusi Maimane or Economic Freedom Fighters with Julius Malema wants to vote on ‘No Confidence’ motion again. The ANC who benefits from the inside trading and co-operative efforts with Gupta’s. If so the ANC wouldn’t give way and give in to the President. The favors tend to happen in collected effort, as the loyalty of the ANC cronies and the leadership shelved the cases and has distorted the works to get rid of Zuma. Therefore, the run to stop his Executive role has stopped.
The North Gauteng Court and Constitutional Court cases has clearly not played the way of law should do, as the guilty of crimes and use of power to gain personal wealth is walking the streets. The misuse of public funds is clearly evident. The massive amount of counts of misconduct on the Zuma Presidency shouldn’t be possible, but it has been. Therefore, the “No Confidence” vote is needed. Even if it fails again. Because if it fails, it proves that the State is really captured by men with ill-intent. That the ANC under Zuma has become iconic in the sense of belligerent statutes of justice. The sense of commoner and citizens towards the ANC and Zuma must be strange.
Zuma acts as if the National Assembly, the Constitution and the Republic is beneath him. That he is above it and cannot be touched. It is not strange he believes it, he has run a nation and crossed the courts so many times, had so many affidavits and minutes explaining his position concerning bad behavior. So, there are enough times he could have seen it as baseless character assassination, instead it has proven as his Modus Operandi. Where the crimes and collective corrupt acts has transpired in a fashion of business as usual and if they get caught, who cares? None will serve for the crime anyway.
The reality is that the first step of falling from the pedestal will be damaging and hurtful. The need for the wisdom of Steven Biko is more potent than ever. The silent words: “The first step therefore is to make the black man come to himself; to pump back life into his empty shell; to infuse him with pride and dignity, to remind him of his complicity in the crime of allowing himself to be misused and therefore letting evil reign supreme in the country of his birth”.
TO not ‘letting evil reign supreme in the country of his birth’, the evil letting the powers and the representatives, under the banner of the liberation party, the ANC steal the nation as a service for foreign investors. That the Republic of South Africa, not taken for granted and used by the former liberators, as they drive flashy cars through the townships and ghettos without care for the citizens who is not taken care of. That the newly rich on the investors and the misuse of state coffers can be contributed to the ANC elite and the clientele getting licensed to operate businesses.
The ANC need ‘to pump back life into his empty shell’, they have forgot to pump it into the citizens for while, they forgotten their mission and the reasons it was created. The ANC and Zuma doesn’t care about the proud legacy, but using it as tools of oppressive business enterprises into wealth. Not caring for service delivery. ANC under Zuma isn’t the people’s party or the liberation party, but instead the ruling elite who only care about keeping power.
We could wish that the “No Confidence” of the DA works, but don’t expect it. The ANC has sold it’s past and the present isn’t what it should be. They have forgotten where they came from and the purpose of their liberation. Zuma has traded and doesn’t care, he uses all sorts of manipulation to stay. It starts with thieving something small, than stealing medium and later running away with the whole bank reserves. Peace.

It isn’t everyday there is election and that the Spokesperson for the Presidency of Kenya are benign and default by the values of governance and who the government are. Therefore, the defense from the spokesperson proves how little they care for accountability and transparency, as the Cabinet Secretaries and Permanent Secretaries takes parts of Election Rallies in Kenya, as the Jubilee Government doesn’t care about their neglect of opposition and that they are supposed to represent all Kenyans, not just the voters of the Jubilee Party. But hey! Manoah Esipisu the spokesperson is clearly seeking a pay-rise and bonuses for his loyalty to Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy William Ruto.
The Kenyan Public Service Act of 2015 says this in the Subsection 8 (1A and 1B):
“Transparency and provision to the public of timely accurate information
(1) A public officer shall not—
(a) give information that the public officer knows or ought to know to be inaccurate; or
(b) unduly delay the provision of any information where required to provide that information” (Laws of Kenya, 2015).
Why do I start with that enacted law of Public Service, since the Manoah Esipisu, feels like it is okay that the ones in Public Office, as Principal Secretaries and Cabinet Secretaries attending the Election rallies, as they are still giving away information that counters with the Public Service Act of 2015, would that be justified by the Spokesperson of the State House. Please take a look at his genius reasoning!
“Public servants participating in politics
Second, Let me respond to your questions on whether public servants are playing politics by speaking at public barazas or interacting with citizens and talking about the direction our country is heading. First, public servants, including Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and other senior staff cadre have a duty of accountability to the Kenyan people. They have to account on the progress the administration of President Uhuru Kenyatta has made since taking office; they have to account for the trillions of shillings in taxes collected from the Kenyan people and invested in infrastructure development and other services; and they have to account for the confidence invested in them by the Kenyan people. Why are they supporting the President and the Jubilee administration, some of you have asked? Because they are accountable to the President who appointed them in the first place, and whose vision of service to the Kenyan people it is their duty to operationalise. And why would they appear to be directly campaigning for the President? No, they are not campaigning. They are merely describing the investments made under President Kenyatta and the impact thereof, and why therefore it is important for the President to be re-elected to continue with the task of transforming Kenya. For us, it is really a question of accountability. It is precisely because public officers are speaking more that the country acknowledges that Kenya is irreversibly transforming” (President.co.ke, 2017).
I agree with the State House Spokesperson that the Cabinet and Principal Secretaries has to account to the citizens. That is necessary and is expected. Therefore, they have other duties than standing on stage and promoting their jobs, instead of working tireless for the citizens. It is hard to say they are not campaigning, when they are taking parts and participating at the rallies. Are the appointed secretaries fish out of water? Since they are swimming in the sea, but not feeling the water. That is the reasoning of the Spokesperson, wouldn’t they defend Kenyatta and Ruto on the podium in Eldoret, Nakuru or Thika.
The disrespectful idea that they first have to be accountable for the President and therefore has to show up at rallies, is what he said at one point. A point he used before “no, they are not campaigning”, still they are firstly representing the people, secondly their appointed by the President. The President is also representing people and gotten his place because of the citizens. So they are all not really playing their parts, as secretaries as they supposed to be there as civil servants and not as subjects under the President.
As the Constitution of Kenya of 2010 Stems for Section 152. (3) says: “A Cabinet Secretary shall not be a Member of Parliament”. With this statement in the law, means that the Cabinet Secretaries nomination as all a favor of their merits and their judgment in their field. If they we’re qualified, the President wouldn’t appoint the person. Therefore, the decision to take part of the rallies, show they are more loyal to the President, than to the Kenyan people.
Because if they take part of Jubilee Rallies only and not even parts of Cord/NASA rallies, than their respect as representing all citizens of Kenya is gone, than they are just loyal subjects to Kenyatta who appointed them. Is the message the Kenyan voters needs to know months ahead of the coming elections? That they are not obligated to inform the Cord/NASA electorate, only the Jubilee? Isn’t that the mere effort and effect of having the Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries attending rallies, to show flex and have the strength that the opposition parties doesn’t have?
I have to ask a very stupid question to the Spokesperson Manoah Esipisu, who pays the Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries? Is the President and his Political Party or is it the State Coffers and the tax-payers monies? Since the initial loyalty shouldn’t be to only the man who saw faith in you, but also to where the paycheck comes from. The Secretaries are paid by the guidelines of Public Service, means they are serving the public first with needed services. They are not existing because Kenyatta needs people to greet and pose with at Voi, Kitui or Lodwar. That could happen, but shouldn’t be their sole mission as public servants.
That the Secretaries has a mission to the state, as effect of the works of the ministries, because of that be accountable to the citizens, is clear-cut, since they represent the people in the works and their efforts at their respected fields. Still, they shouldn’t be participating in partisan rallies for either the ones seeking re-election or the ones trying to force them out.
So I cannot support the efforts made by MBS Manoah Esipisu, who serves Kenyatta diligently, but does not serve his purpose as civil servant. Esipisu shows loyalty to Kenyatta, before the best of knowledge to the Kenyan people. Peace.

Laws of Kenya – ‘PUBLIC SERVICE (VALUES AND PRINCIPLES) ACT’ – No.1A of 2015






“I said I would take this process seriously — and I did. I chose a serious man and an exemplary judge, Merrick Garland. Over my seven years as President, in all my conversations with senators from both parties in which I asked their views on qualified Supreme Court nominees — this includes the previous two seats that I had to fill — the one name that has come up repeatedly, from Republicans and Democrats alike, is Merrick Garland” (…) “Now, I recognize that we have entered the political season — or perhaps, these days it never ends — a political season that is even noisier and more volatile than usual. I know that Republicans will point to Democrats who’ve made it hard for Republican Presidents to get their nominees confirmed. And they’re not wrong about that. There’s been politics involved in nominations in the past. Although it should be pointed out that, in each of those instances, Democrats ultimately confirmed a nominee put forward by a Republican President” – Barrack Obama (16.03.2016 – White House – Rose Garden – from the Obama Archives).
I hate to say it, it doesn’t matter how the creature and individual judge Neil Gorsuch, the nominated person to fill the empty seat in the Supreme Court of the United States. Why I don’t care? It is because of the process he has been entangled into, that has been created by the Republican Party taking away the Executive right for former President Barrack Obama. So, there is certainly no will to give that the new President Donald Trump, as he is just a new politician and President Obama was in his second term as the Executive. There haven’t even gone a 100 days of his presidency, it should take more time, as it soon is election and primary season for the Senate election in 2018. That is if I stand by the same rules the Republicans used against Obama, to not nominate and hired someone to the last remaining seat in the Supreme Court.
I don’t care if is Neil Gorsuch is a mix of Mother Theresa, Pope Francis and Baby Jesus. He can be the best American since John Wayne, he can be mix Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes, still not be the man for the Supreme Court seat. To me he is just the trick of the Republican party, to thief away a spot from the Democratic Party elected President. Therefore, I see nothing else than a theft.
The Republicans like Lindsay Graham, the Senator of South Carolina can talk the game he wants about the judge and his profound knowledge of judgment. Still, Sen. Graham doesn’t consider the constitutional rights of Obama, as he neglect the preposterous attempts of filibustering and stopping the sessions at play for months, to give way to Trump so he could nominate someone. The Republicans are hereby saying they are entitled to elected who they please, but other parties has to beg to do so. The Republic can only have Presidents who has the love of the Republican party, if not they are not constitutional. That is the state that Sen. Graham profess to.
Mitch McConnell, Senator of Kentucky and the Majority Leader of the Senate, has said that he does not accept that the Democratic Party representatives to Block Gorsuch, but my initial problem with that sort of statement from a Majority leader is that he blocked Garland all through the 2016 year and until President Trump got into office. Not like he didn’t use all sorts of tricks and pushed the buttons to stop the process of getting an Obama nominated fellow inside the Supreme Court. That is because Obama was not righteous enough, but the pussy-grabbing, shallow-snake-oil-salesman and the fake University owner Trump has the legal mind to pick someone. McConnell himself by October 2016, than suspending the nomination of Garland, said it was a lame-duck, that was only 7 months after vacancy was open.
The seat of the Supreme Court in the total months that Barrack Obama was president was about 12, that is a year, that is one fourth of his last term. That means that the Republican Senators and Representatives suspended and postponed the vacancy through major parts of his presidency. So that they could claim the seat as the Election was on horizon. Because they feared a liberal or a progressive candidate filling Judge Scalia’s place. It is clear this is ignorance and disregard of the ones electing President Obama, that they could not spare him his duty as the Executive or understand his judgment for the picking of Garland.
So if Speaker Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell feels they are disrespected and feels that the Democratic representatives isn’t working within the perimeter of the Constitution and the rights of the Republican President Trump. If they conduct such behavior and claims that the Democratic Party is dissolving the Supreme court vacancy. Than, they are hypocrites.
As Paul Ryan himself stated on the 16th March 2016:
“This has never been about who the nominee is. It is about a basic principle. Under our Constitution, the president has every right to make this nomination, and the Senate has every right not to confirm a nominee. I fully support Leader McConnell and Chairman Grassley’s decision not to move forward with the confirmation process. We should let the American people decide the direction of the court.” (Paul Ryan, 16.03.2016).
Therefore, if the Republicans can suspend hearings and voting for Garland, why cannot Democrats do it now? The Tea Party representatives and Freedom Caucus representatives have had no issues with stifling the process of Capitol Hill. So if the resistance and the Democrats decides to stop Gorsuch nomination, that would be filibustering and stopping Trumps will. If they would accept it, is it like Republicans only have rights to nominate and the only ones who knows how to pick people for important positions?
Since President Trump has already hired his son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump, so it not like we can question his own methods of picking Gorsuch. The Education Minister Betty De Vos family has been a big donor to the Republican Party and also Trump Campaign. So it not like the donations from big spenders change the ethical perspective of appointments under the Trump Era. It isn’t all white-supremacist and right-wing representatives, more on the financial backdrop and who’s favor Trump has gotten or hoping to get.

Than, with this in mind, what sort of favors has Gorsuch promised to do for Trump? Let’s be clear I don’t care if he is the softest most gentle judge ever existing, if he is the Marvin Gaye of judges. Still, he is the man stealing the possible seat of Garland. Ghost of Merrick will always follow Neil. No matter what happens, the one taking the seat now in the Supreme Court will always have the illegitimate picked person working in the most important legal job of the republic. That shows how low the legal system and the elected representatives of the United States has sunk down too.
President Obama wasn’t given the right to appoint because of people like Senator McConnell and Representative Ryan are the leadership that put forward reasoning for stopping the nominations. So now that they have Republican President and he has made a nomination, which happens to be Gorsuch.
We could talk fair and justice, but this is a sinister political ploy from the Republican party and using the laws to cherry-pick the ones supporting their will. The reality of it all is that the Obama administration was weaken by the control of the senate and the representatives house. The chambers did what they could to silence and stop his policies. Instead of building by bi-partisan ways. Now the Republican party want that from the Democratic Party and their members in the chambers. That train has left the station and hasn’t a plan to return.
The Ghost of Garland, even as he never entered the Supreme Court as an official judge or gotten the seat. Still, the will of President Obama and the denial of process of the appointment has proven that the Congress, the house or the senate didn’t want to fill the seat. The reality cannot be swayed away from this and the current state of affairs. That Trump should fill this seat is justified, as much as he can have ability to fill more if their time on earth stops. That is the rules. So Trump can fill even more in his time. They would have been correct! The appointment of possibly Gorsuch isn’t, and the Republican Party senators and representatives knows this perfectly well. All of them and most of them know they we’re part of the theft.
The grand theft and the perfect crime was orchestrated all through an election year, though all sorts of display and disregard of the President Obama and the Constitution, that they are supposed to keep in high regard. Instead they are propping up all tools and spin-control to let the Democrats leave it alone. That they did not to lose face during the Presidential Election, but here we are and we should know that the ghost of Garland will now overshadow the Supreme Court. Peace.


President Jacob Zuma of the African National Congress doesn’t like making things easy or to say the proper way. His affairs and his acts as a leader is Stalinisque and authoritarian, not acting as a democratic leader. That can be said the way he stifled the courts, used private business connections and used his role as President to get-a-jail-free-card. That is just the way of Zuma and his close friends. They buy and trade on government contracts and get favors. Certainly been the way since the Anglo-Leasing scandal and that one should still hunt President Zuma, but the cases that has followed it since, it must seem like a life-time ago.
In December 2015, there was enough chaos within the Finance Ministry as Nhlanhla Nene we’re fired and for a few days David Van Rooyen was appointed, that lead to a melt-down and shock of the economy. Therefore the President was forced to let it go and he hired Pravin Gordhan. That happen within a week in December in 2015. So Finance Minister Gordhan has been in position for 16 months. Other candidates for the position came forward to the media and said they had been at the Gupta family estate and we’re offered the Ministry at the time, before Gordhan was appointed. Therefore, the Gupta family control of Zuma Administration is easy to see.
The scandals involving companies run and owned by the Gupta family is happening frequently, as Eskom contracts and Tegeta agreements that overpays for bad coal-quality and empties the state coffers. This is sort of arrangements that the RSA government have accepted when doing business with Gupta associates. Therefore, that the Finance Minister get into hot water.
This can be said with the sudden axing when the Ministry of Finance didn’t accept the takeover of Habib Overseas Bank from the Vardospan Bank. Today the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) and Finance Minister said to the purchase today and the bank buying the other is by all means connected to the businesses of the Gupta. Therefore, the Zuma Administration wants to facilitate it. Just like they have done with Energy businesses and all the other Gupta involved scandals following the ANC and Zuma.
Zuma has enforced and ensured transactions that is profitable and traded so he could get cuts and jobs for family members through the Gupta businesses. Not through merit, but by the knowledge that Zuma will be payed off if he gets a grand deal to the Gupta Empire. That is now the Modus Operandi of his government to facilitate the Gupta Family. If not, why would Ministers fall for acting against Gupta owned property?
That has happen before and the reasons for stopping Nene Nhlanhla hand in the Finance Ministry was for his act to stop another financial transaction of a nuclear deal between Gupta companies, South African Companies and the Russian counterparts. That wasn’t something the then Finance Minister Nhlanhla wanted to see or believed would be plausible to happen without corrupt behavior.
Now today, the third Finance Minister of December 2015 Pravin Gordhan has also faced the axe and it follows a pattern. When the Ministry question Financial Transactions and Contracts involving the Gupta Empire and Gupta Family, than it should just nod and wave; not stop and say “no”. If you say no than the Zuma administration will replace you, their loyalty isn’t to accountability or transparency, it is to the Gupta’s. That is the State of Capture in South Africa. That the South African President is so weak that he has traded his soul for silvers from investors instead of good governance and due diligence.

That is why this is happening now:
“Johannesburg – President Jacob Zuma fired Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and eight other cabinet members in a high-stakes power play that may threaten his own presidency and place the nation’s investment grade credit rating at risk. Gordhan was replaced by Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba, who has no financial or business experience, while ANC MP Sfiso Buthelezi takes over from Mcebisi Jonas as deputy finance minister” (CPR Worldwide Media – SA, 30.03.2017).
So if you wonder what South African government is passing through, they are going through the 2015 on rewind, as the Zuma Administration put another Gupta stooge as Finance Minister; instead of David Van Rooyen, it is now Malusi Gigaba. Hon. Gigaba would never question any deal that the Gupta’s need or Zuma orders. He will follow the orders and acts upon the trust he got by Zuma. Therefore, don’t expect that the RSA government will be accountable or have stable economy for a while. Especially when a they finally got their Gupta stooge as a Finance Minister. It took 16 months, but is now achieved and the Oakbay Resources execs must feel like their high. Peace.
