Salary Decision Spells Financial Disaster for Tshwane Metro

4 November 2025 by Guest

The latest ruling by the South African Local Government Bargaining Council (SALGBC) on backdated salary increases for Tshwane Metro employees could spell a financial disaster amounting to nearly R2 billion for the Metro. The SALGBC confirmed on 1 November 2025 that increases of 3,5% are backdated from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 – […]

The post Salary decision spells financial disaster for Tshwane Metro appeared first on Freedom Front Plus.

Die VF Plus-tak in Warmbad wyk 1/ VF Plus het ‘n formele skrywe gerig aan die hoofbrandweerbeampte (VOLLE NAME ASB.) waarin ‘n reeks katastrofiese tekortkominge uiteengesit is ná ‘n residensiële brand op Saterdag (1 November) in die Bela Bela-plaaslike munisipaliteit (Warmbad, Noodhulp, Rooipoort).

Die brandweerdiens het meer as ‘n uur geneem om by die toneel aan te kom – ‘n reaksietyd wat teenstrydig is met nasionale veiligheidsstandaarde (SANS 10090).

Met hul uiteindelike aankoms is gevind dat die ontplooide voertuig defektief was, met ‘n beskadigde waterpyp en probleme met die pomp wat kritieke minute gemors het.

‘n Tweede brandbestrydingsvoertuig wat ontplooi is, is nie toegelaat om by ’n belangrike eenrigting se “Stop-en-Gaan” toegang te verkry nie omdat dié voertuig se noodligte nie gewerk het nie.

Die voorval was nie net ‘n eenmalige mislukking nie, maar eerder een wat ‘n sistemiese ineenstorting in die brandweerdiens se vermoë om sy statutêre en grondwetlike pligte na te kom om lewe en eiendom te beskerm, openbaar.

Plaaslike boere se vrywilligerspanne het self gespook om die brand te beheer, terwyl die professionele diens nêrens te vinde was nie en foutiewe/ongeskikte toerusting die diens belemmer het.

Hierdie duidelike versuim oortree sleutelwetgewing, insluitend die Rampbestuurswet en die Wet op Brandweerdienste, en ignoreer heeltemal die verpligte kriteria vir toerustinggereedheid en reaksietyd wat in die SANS 10090 nasionale standaard uiteengesit word.

Die VF Plus eis onmiddellike verantwoording en ‘n omvattende korrektiewe aksieplan van die hoofbrandweerbeampte binne sewe werksdae.

Die gemeenskap van Bela-Bela verdien ‘n brandweerdiens wat toegerus, opgelei en gereed is om vinnig te reageer – nie een wat verlam word swak toerusting en onaanvaarbare vertragings nie.

Sonder ‘n bevredigende reaksie op die party se skrywe en ‘n geloofwaardige plan ter remediëring, sal die party genoop wees om die saak na die munisipale bestuurder (VOLLE NAME ASB.), die provinsiale rampbestuursentrum, en moontlike regstappe vir growwe pligsversuim, geneem word.

    A baby was born in South Africa. The village was very poor, and the makeshift hospital didn\’t have some necessary equipment.. such as scales.

    The father however, was desperate to know the newborn baby\’s weight. After quite a bit of asking around, the hospital\’s chairman came up with an idea.

    \”Five miles west, there\’s a butcher shop. The owner deals with meat, he should have a rather precise scale. You could just put your baby on the meat scale, and the weight reading you\’ll get should be pretty accurate.\”

    And so the father departed westward. After much walking, with his newborn child cardled safely in his arms, he finally arrived at the butcher shop. He explained his dilemma to the shop owner, to witch the latter replied:

    \”Don\’t worry, friend. It\’s not even a problem, I\’ll check it for you, free of charge.\” And so he took the child to the back, where the scale was located.

    The father heard rumbling noises, and some scraping.. About a minute later the butcher came back.

    \”About three pounds boneless\” He said.
