PROUD MOMENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Not everything about South Africa spells crime, violence and drugs. Today, Thamsanqa Matsane was made the first Black Commander  http://www.flyafrica.info/forums/showthread.php?48344-First-Black-officer-takes-command-of-SA-submarine in Africa. He made us all proud today and his dedication and hard work definitely has paid off. He took over Commander Neville Howell at a ceremony at Simon’s Town Naval Based in Cape Town. He enlisted in the South African Navy in 1998 and today he is a commander. I say 14 years of being patient, sleepless nights and, and, and. He obviously was determined that after this time he will be somewhere and he is.

 “Lucky for me some hard work paid out and I became the Commanding Officer of the submarine today,” Matsane told defence Web. “I’m proud of being the first (black) African to be in command of a submarine,” Matsane continued, “It was hard work to get here, this is not a place where you can just be given command. During training, in 48 hours you might get just two hours sleep, or no sleep at all.” Thamsanqa describe working at the submarine as dangerous but I also think danger is everywhere so people should put determination first and they will achieve their dreams. The statistics has on record that between 1960 and today people that has qualified to be submariners are 1050 and I think that is not enough. People need awareness that there is more to being a teacher, engineer and all other careers, even women can do this job but it is all about being stereotype this could be changed. Matsane is prepared to take on the task ahead and train those who are still waiting to qualify. Thamsanqa can speak to the management on how they can organise a Public Relations person to go address the students about what is really happening in the submarine. This campaign can  raise awareness about their organisation on what it really supply and deals with. This will give the students awareness on that they are not limited the can actually take submarine as a serious  career.  "Everything is about practise" http://thinkexist.com/quotation/for-me-it-s-a-proud-moment-to-be-here-today/550775.html

A 17 year old Soweto teenage girl went missing on March 21 and was found yesterday at a 37 year old man's home who stays in Braamfischerville. "The girl often goes missing and it is her mothers negligence", says Soweto community. They are putting the blame on her mother of which at the end it contradicts their statement to the one the sister of the victim has told ETV news crew. Well I personally think that it is not the mother’s fault that all this has happened to her child. Her older sister spoke to the ETV crew and explained that their mother even quit her job just to be home more and look after her younger sister but even that did not stop her from going to have a jol. Later today, the girl was cross examined and she was declared mentally unfit. What does that mean for the accused? It means life in prison. The video of a gang rape was circulating on the Internet and social networks that includes Twitter. To me, this means that after this was done they turned into new media for a show off of what they had done therefore, they do deserve serious jail time. Amongst the co-accused were two minors who are just 14 years of age. The kids are raping other kids, where are they getting such behaviour? and why the elders allowing such?. It is such a shock that the young men of the world are behaving like this. Honestly, nobody has a right to touch you even if their excuse is that you were wearing a short skirt. No means No and today's society thinks No means Yes.

Stop violence campaign(http://www.googleimage.com/).

There is always something extra to be done. If it means do it over and over again then let us do it. An anti-rape and violence campaign against women and children will be hosted until the rapist and women abusers get the message. We, as women of today are strong so I say let us fight for our rights.

Luxury cars, Lavish lifestyles for selfish reasons.

It is no surprise that South Africa is still faced with serious corruption. Wednesday, 11 April 2012 it was reported that R21m tender fraud - Mercedes-Benz, Porsche seized (www.news24.com). Properties, luxury cars and trucks owned by suspected fraudsters were spotted by law enforcement agencies on Wednesday the NPA said. They were acting on behalf of the Ekurhuleni metro municipality, which was defrauded of more than R21m in a computer tender, said National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Mthunzi Mhaga.

"In the combined operation with the Hawks, the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), and the Anti-Corruption Task Team, we seized 12 residential homes, several trucks and 27 luxury cars and motorbikes," Mhaga said. amongst the cars that were found, there were very expensive models of cars such as BMW,Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. All the above mentioned cars are very expensive and it is a shock that 27 cars of these models were found. According to Mhaga, Valero David was the sole member of a company, Meropa Sechabeng Technology, which was awarded a computer tender by the municipality. sadly, he is related to Nilesh Singh who is the executive director of the municipality's computor department. This is what is happening in our country, poor people vote for their representatives and at the end this is what happens.

After the tenders were awarded to them, they brought all the cars even for some members of their families as part of celebrating. David, Singh and Mphushomadi were arrested by the Hawks last year and appeared in the Pretoria Commercial Crime Court on fraud and corruption charges last July.Their case is scheduled to continue on July 2 this year. As a Public Relations, i will not rest until fraud in our country decreases. I will host an anti-corruption campaign  to fight for the our country.

Fraud is a very serious crime, Report suspected fraud to the SAFPS helpline: 0860 101 248
