The Untouchables in a Gangster’s Paradise? Is it reasonable or ethical to make use of companies that do not consider themselves to be held accountable, for their actions in any private or public enterprise? While Big Tech has become seemingly untouchable, even from the US Supreme Court or Whitehouse, the same culture of supremacy, greed, lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of responsibility seems to have created and sustained an environment in South Africa where IT negligence is acceptable, and lack of accountability is the norm, even when it comes to government institutions, contracts and tenders.

Controversial ‘Land or Death’ party BLF, finally deregistered as political party
Posted on Leave a comment
“The political party Black First Land First (BLF) was finally registered as a political party. The South African Electoral Court on Thursday rejected the BLF’s appeal against its deregistration in July this year,” says Dr. Pieter Groenewald, FF Plus leader.
“In terms of section 16 (1) (c) of the Electoral Commission Act (Act 51 of 1996), the IEC may not register a political party that excludes membership on the basis of race, color or ethnicity. The BLF’s constitution states in Article 4 that only black people may be members of this party.
“In its appeal, the BLF has argued, among other things, that the wording in its constitution that only blacks may be part of the party has been misinterpreted and that people of other racial groups can be seen as black.

The extremely radical and controversial leader of the Black First Land First (BLF) says there will be violence if the Independent Electoral Commission refuses to register its party for the forthcoming municipal elections of 2019.
He made the remark after it was disclosed that the BLF may not participate in the election in terms of the constitution that clearly notes that the conduct of hate speech and declaring of genocide is condemned.
He raised the threat during a media interview with reporters and said if the IEC prevented him from participating in the forthcoming election, violence would break out in South Africa.
Earlier, in a speech, he encouraged his audience to kill white people, which led to severe reactions from different resorts.
Meanwhile, it is expected that President Ramaphosa will act or at least give a warning but it did not happen.
