Looting, vandalism as EFF and Save South Africa march through Pretoria.

By -




Several businesses and shops were vandalised and looted in Pretoria today during an Economic Freedom Fighters march.
Looters raided a Pep Cell store, a KFC, broke a display window at Spitz and at an Absa branch. Capital Inn was also looted and vandalised.
Marchers had taken to the streets of Pretoria today calling for President Jacob Zuma to step down following Zuma’s interdict of the Public Protector state capture report.
EFF member Ntswaki Nzuza, a former ANC supporter, said she supported the call for Zuma to resign because he has abused his power.
“I’m here today because I don’t think Zuma should be president of this country. It’s time for him to go; he has abused his power. This is not how a president behaves,” she said.
Another supporter, Jonas Mulamuleli, echoed her sentiments saying Zuma “is too corrupt and must go!”
“People need to be honest with themselves and come join us to remove Zuma,” he added.


Supporters descended in their numbers with many small groups spread throughout the CBD.
Protesters clashed with police at some stages as roads were closed off restricting their movements.
The protesters had flooded into the streets of the capital today as political parties, civic organisations and concerned citizens united under the Save South Africa movement.
Some protesters wore UDM, Cope and PAC regalia but marched with the EFF crowd. They were united in their calls for Zuma to resign.
EFF leader Julius Malema, however, slammed the Save South Africa movement, saying “they mustn’t think we are friends”. He accused it of only standing up to protect “white monopoly capital”.
The EFF said its protest was separate from the Save South Africa one.
The groups protested in the streets around Church Square in the Pretoria CBD with the intention of splitting police. Some groups were successful in breaking the police lines but remained disciplined throughout.
Many others stood on the side of the roads out of the blazing heat.

Protesters continued looting and breaking windows as they continued their march to the Union Buildings. Police maintained a heavy presence and a police helicopter hovered over the Union Buildings where the EFF supporters arrived just after 2.30pm.

INDIA WON’T SUPPRESS TEWARI’S FREE ENERGY GENERATOR.

India considers its own free energy program a matter of national pride, and is very much willing to risk antagonizing Petrodollar countries with its support on Reactionless AC Synchronous Generator (RLG) invented by its own Paramahamsa Tewari, an electrical engineer and former Executive Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India. Years ago, Tewari had also proven the theories inside Bruce de Palma’s homopolar engine which first exposed this writer to the world of free energy technologies. Obviously, a country cannot implement its own free energy program without considering all possible consequence including a military response from Petrodollar countries, e.g. Saudi Arabia, UK, US. That’s why India has been aligning its own military program with that of Russia which at present is standing up, together with the BRICS countries, against the Nazionist cabal that is imposing all sorts of sanctions to destroy the Russians. The BRICS alliance has in the past promised to rele...

Google Earth discovers stone gates in Saudi Arabia: Precursor to more mysterious civilization?

Saudi Arabia is widely considered a barren desert in the ancient ages, but a new discovery hints that the country was home to various archeological sites in the past which are yet to be discovered. A study conducted with the help of Google Earth has discovered ancient giant stone gates in Saudi Arabia, supposedly the remnants of an ancient civilization. With the help of Google Earth imagery, scientists have discovered more than 400 stone gates which were not documented before in the country. David Kennedy, the researcher at the University of Western Australia said that these stone structures will not be visible at the ground level, but once we move up a few hundred feets, these stone gates stand out beautifully lined up. He added that the gates will be visible in satellite images too. "I refer to them as Gates because when you view them from above they look like a simple field gate lying flat, two upright posts on the sides, connected by one or more long bars," said...

In a move that once again proves   its commitment to renewable energy , China has begun construction on its first large-scale commercial solar plant out in the sun-dreched expanse of the Gobi Desert. Called Delingha, the colossal facility will spread out across 25 km² (6,300 acres) of vacant land in the country's Qinghai province, and will feature six huge solar towers hooked up to an array of solar mirrors. When complete, the plant will have a capacity of 200 megawatts, which means it will be able to supply electricity to 1 million households in Qinghai year-round. "Its designed heat storage is 15 hours, thus, it can guarantee stable, continual power generation," Qinghai Solar-Thermal Power Group board chair, Wu Longyi,   told the press . The facility is the first solar plant to be run as a commercial entity, and   according to Svati Kirsten Narula at Quartz , it’s being jointly developed by BrightSource Energy, based in Oakland, California, and the Shanghai El...
