The court granted AfriForum an urgent interdict, stopping the government's planned R50 million donation to Cuba. | JKwritingz

In a written judgment to the affected parties, Judge Brenda Neukircher, of the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, granted the urgent interdict, pending the final outcome of an application to be instituted by AfriForum to review and set aside the decision to donate an amount of R50 million to the Government of Cuba, or the final outcome of proceedings to declare that the donation is unlawful and/or unconstitutional.

AfriForum pledges to continue its fight against outrageous and wasteful expenditure, which is squandering taxpayers' money. "During the presentation of arguments, Neukircher warned AfriForum's legal representative, Johan Hamman, that the applicants were misreading communication provided by Dirco and National Treasury.Neukircher corrected Hamman, who kept alluding to the letter from the aforementioned departments as meaning that the donation had been concluded.

"We [the two departments] are still right at the beginning, that is what they are saying, that we have made the decision, we have got the funds because the funds have been approved and the request to make the donation has been approved.

JKwritingz To think these people have been stealing billions from the country,as if that's not enough, now they want to play big brother with donating while the country is struggling economically,we don't have leaders if this all we have for leadership 💔

JKwritingz I support Afriforum on this one,to take state funds to Cuba while the country is a mess is disgusting,these people can't even run the freaking country smoothly, they are cutting large numbers of workers in hospitals and cutting budgets in some departments but have money for Cuba

JKwritingz afriforum...You're messing with the MYANC's money laundering scheme! It was supposed to be: R50 million of our public taxpayer's money goes to Cuba. R25 million stays there as a laundry washing fee. R25 million gets deposited in a Swiss account of the ANC's choice...

JKwritingz Thanx Afriforum its good to have people like ye

JKwritingz Of course Afriforum would take the lead in this, after all Ciba supported our struggle against apartheid.. With that said, maybe that money should go to educational development, reopen schools that have been closed down etc... but we have historical commitments as well.

JKwritingz Well done AfriForum but dont be comfortable

JKwritingz I can't believe the ANC government has me agreeing with Afriforum... fxckin hate this government.

JKwritingz Now watch VoetsekANC staff wont get paid this month

JKwritingz Thanks Afriforum for wanting to stop this evil ANC

JKwritingz Sanity rules ….

JKwritingz SA to Cuba, Cuba to Russia, Russia on war in Ukraine

JKwritingz Not hiring our SA trained doctors, and hiring doctors from Cuba,is that not enough help for them..,while our own kids stay jobless in their country.

Waltersonboy JKwritingz Thankyou Afriforum. Please join the ballot soonest. We need new universities in southy.

JKwritingz Apartheid 2.0 under Ra👃🏿

JKwritingz Ai. The kafrikaans migrants.

JKwritingz Why the F give them money when its needed here...taking out loans at World Bank to sustain another country for what!!!

JKwritingz With tht 50 million thy can buy 9 license machines for each province and stop telling us the license machine is broken

JKwritingz Now let's deport all the cuban Doctors, cuban engineers and for SANDF to get back its 220m for fake drugs from Cuba.

JKwritingz I need some of that money to start my business!

JKwritingz If it was Ukraine, Afriforum wouldn't complain, the hypocrite.

JKwritingz Afriforum are Angry because Cuba asisted angola to defeat them during boarder war.

JKwritingz Cuba helped us fight against this white terrorists regime, if it was donated to Ukraine afriforum would have not said a word. But hey keep licking their arses.

JKwritingz This ANC clowns are giving our people R350 and donate R50m to a foreign country.

JKwritingz

JKwritingz Hate them or love them afriforum is effective they really know how to use this constitution

JKwritingz Dankie !

JKwritingz Donation yamasimba mani leyo sibe silambile, singasebenzi

JKwritingz Our government is those people who worship Bushiri They have nothing but willing to the little they have to 🇨🇺 or they bullied ... what's going on here, I smell a rat here

JKwritingz Let's follow each other if u stan AfriForum & other civil rights institutions and believe in negative rights. Get off the plantation LOL

JKwritingz

TimModise JKwritingz Good. SAns need that money.

ConCaracal JKwritingz Well done afriforum x x x

JKwritingz That money was gonna be invested but not for our country, for VoetsekANC individuals

JKwritingz Money never intended for Cuba. It was for ANC salaries. ANC broke and not getting kickbacks from Bosasa anymore.

JKwritingz Hai Anc jwale Win

JKwritingz So other organizations saw it fit to allow government to donate R50 Mil to Cuba knowing very well intlupheko eqgubuya eMansi... Seems like AfriForum has the interests of the country at heart in this instance...

JKwritingz I thought Mzanzi is owing some Trillions of Rands IMF and World Bank

JKwritingz Good news

JKwritingz

JKwritingz Great one. AfriForum for government is a possibility for the near future

JKwritingz What kind of nonsense is this? Nonono this no ordinary donation, someone or some people are going to benefit here. For f***ks sake, pay students outstanding debts or create jobs with that money

JKwritingz Congrats to Afriforum on behalf of all taxpayers especially. True heroes & defenders of our resources. Why the hell is our govt so obsessed with excessive generosity towards Cuba? Employ their substandard doctors in preference to local grads, at HUGE salaries for e.g.?

JKwritingz How can the government donate, R50 ml when food prices are sky rocketing and petrol prices. We are living in abject poverty but Ramaphosa hascthe guts to donate money. Mzansi is indeed a banna republic a serious joke.

JKwritingz Ayi le angyaz ngempela owan lo R50m

JKwritingz Civil servants haven't received salary increase for two years now. NURSES, Doctors, Police, soldiers and emergency personnel we saw working tirelessly when Covid19 was killing our people have never seen salary increase in two years. This is an insult to our people. 🤔🤔🤔😭

JKwritingz South Africa government is irresponsible parent

JKwritingz What if the money was already ewallet to Cuba? Lol 😅 😆 🤣

JKwritingz Ramaphosa's government ran by NGOs and Task Teams.

JKwritingz Excellent news!!

JKwritingz I am noticing a very weird trend or pattern slowly growing, but for now I'm jst going 2 zip🤐it. Retlare kedi pitsi, mme re dibone ka memabala

JKwritingz Congrats to AfriForum

JKwritingz Baie geluk Afriforum.

JKwritingz They must donate that money to Gift Of The Givers nje

JKwritingz Afriforum - Guardian & Protector of our Nations Civil Rights.

JKwritingz Giving money away while our municipalities fall apart

JKwritingz Brilliant. Parliament also need to interrogate every donation made to Cuba by this government.

JKwritingz Even if Afriforum can call Jesus back...we shall not follow or vote for it, finish and klaar

JKwritingz Afriforum just figured a loop hole to govern the country using the judiciary.

JKwritingz Court halts govt's planned R50m donation to Cuba via news24

JKwritingz No prizes for guessing the ultimate recipients of this 'donation'.😂😂😂

JKwritingz Corruption in this deal

JKwritingz I support the deal. Cuba has supported the oppressed south african from the beginning of our struggle. The recognized our struggle before russia. Give them the money they need.

JustXavierB JKwritingz Not what reported earlier?

Nelson Mandela turns in his grave

JKwritingz If this donation was going to Ukraine. It was going to be argued that it is not enough, government need to increase. Under this administration Afriforum rules this country. Tonight, there might be serious changes with Covid-19 regulations, due to Afriforum & DA. EFFSouthAfrica

JKwritingz Nice, now can they fight for our Land I want to see something

JKwritingz 👍👍

JKwritingz Well done afriforum . People in our own country don't have food, houses and jobs.

JKwritingz White people had to go to court and stop this madness and the Cuba obsession. Use the money and remove the pit toilets in honour of Michael Komape who drown in a stinking rotten pit toilet.

JKwritingz Rubbish judgement

JKwritingz MYANC own goals...you can't make this stuff up.

JKwritingz So level with me here.....Afriforum is actually acting on behalf of the entire SA population? Haaibo! Mara they mos only help white peepull.....

JKwritingz Well done

JKwritingz Moet rak....

JKwritingz If you love deep soulful house music listen to this

JKwritingz Propaganda

JKwritingz Cubans lost their lives while confronting apartheid regime to help us liberated from Afriforum’s forefathers but today we giving them a middle finger at a time they need’s the most when America has cut them off from global village…

JKwritingz propagandalive

JKwritingz That's great. The people of this country need that money more than the Cuban government.

JKwritingz So the court tells the ANC government what to do what next , who should be president,

JKwritingz Well done afriforum!

JKwritingz You are joking when millions of south Africans homeless and starving ! I hope this was not Ramaposa doing ! If so shame on you our people need that money ! You have gone down in estimation

JKwritingz We are so tired of propping up the failed Cuban state. What is even more baffling and defies logic, how the EFF and ANC believe that communism works. Stop stealing our money.

JKwritingz Where exactly is this 50mil coming from? So much SAns need this support, I guess you can't steal what u don't have lol 🤣

JKwritingz I wouldn't be surprised if an individual has been cashing in these so called donations on the other side for years , phela SA is alive with possibilities

JKwritingz Next step, all these cubans must leave with immediate effect. The anc gave them permission to be here, not South Africans. Anc is not SA.

JKwritingz where do we vote for afriforum?

JKwritingz Great job Afriforum!!!

JKwritingz THANK YOU AFRIFORUM

JKwritingz They planned to fire 800 medical workers(allegedly) now they want to donate 50mil. This government is a mess

JKwritingz Why can’t we donate our politicians to Cuba?

JKwritingz Coming election, ANC needs to be removed like wtf!

JKwritingz

JKwritingz Now, it's time to get those R70k-R90k per month doctors fired.

JKwritingz Afriforum must leave Cuba alone! We hv a bigger problem here with zimbos. Why not investigate Mmusi’s accounts. An unemployed man like him shud not even be affording data to tweet 💩 everyday

JKwritingz Stop the CORRUPTION !!!

JKwritingz Well done

JKwritingz Ramaposa needs to stap down he is useless an captured

JKwritingz So Ramaphosa borrowed money to donate it?

JKwritingz ANC government hates us 🙊 VoetsekANC

JKwritingz SouthAfrica must give donation to it self for f's sake

JKwritingz Cuban doctors need to leave!!!!

JKwritingz Another donation!!?

JKwritingz Congratulations to Afriforum. We are here struggling and the government wants to donate R50 million. OoSilili must take us into their confidence; what does Cuba have on them? Angeke!

JKwritingz Good

JKwritingz Well done AfriForm that money could be much better used here in South Africa if the president applies his mind.

JKwritingz SA is not deep in debt?

JKwritingz Our government is trying by all means to reduce unemployment in CUBA 😭😭😭

JKwritingz Imagine how much more of a FAILED STATE South Africa would be if nothing was questioned. The ANC has bled our country dry

JKwritingz Donating to cuba but dont have money at home. Xleva

JKwritingz are the courts controlling the government now? we need new rules quickly

JKwritingz But Cuba helped us ,during Exile

JKwritingz South Africa it's still colonised

JKwritingz More proof that Afriforum is actually fighting for this country as a whole (not 'white rights' as some would claim) The right thing to do does not have a melanin aspect

JKwritingz The tragity of SA

JKwritingz Our courts are for Ramaphosa and AfriForum. They win their cases in South African courts.

JKwritingz So now we are being forced to like Afriforum, I can see what they did there. Strategy

JKwritingz When are they going back to Cuba? We have young unemployed South African doctors ready to work.

JKwritingz Thank you AfriForum

JKwritingz Bathathe Ramaphosa!...only to find that some ANC member was gonna visit Cuba kanti uyoyilanda or invest in some shaddy businesses

JKwritingz No more greasing Cuban palms.

JKwritingz Wow, we barely afford university fees, citizens are hungry , government employees not getting increment, poor infrastructure, poor south African learners having to swim across rivers to school Yet ANC led government is busy donating money to cuba💔💔 sad times for poor child

NtataRefiloe JKwritingz This is madness, how do you donate when your OWN citizens are starving 😒 This is a blatant spit in the face 😪 So happy they were stopped!

JKwritingz What the fuck is SA borrowing money from the IMF and donating it to other countries?

JKwritingz Thanks once again Afriforum. The only organisation thats cares about South Africans in a functioning society.

JKwritingz I see a lot of people saying give it to your own people... ANC didn't give people back their own land, why they going to give them anything else Lol... Be serious.

JKwritingz I understood that statement when they said ' AfriForum is the friend of court' it literally means every case they pursue has 99.9% winning rate simply because they're white people. If AfriForum says land won't be retained, the court will divert that arguments to parliament done.

ItsThabiso_GN JKwritingz so not only they make things happen they also boss around this fake ANC. Mybe they can bring back fans in SA soccer games..

JKwritingz Good Afriforum✊,I don't understand this country,we borrowing from IMF only to donate it to other countries😡😡this government mcim

JKwritingz Donation for what FFS give it to your own ppl who are starving🙈🙈 Thank you Afriforum

JKwritingz Well done Court! There are better uses for that 💰

JKwritingz In Ramaphosa government anything is possible, what if the Cubans have already received the 50 mil

JKwritingz my friend gave me 30K a few yrs back, via transfer - said I must keep 10, draw 20 and give it back to him in cash.. so confusing😎

ConCaracal JKwritingz What if they have already paid it

JKwritingz Afriforum doing God's work while ANC is doing the devil's work

JKwritingz Why the government could not think of fixing even a few pot-holed roads with that money defies logic. There are schools with bore-hole latrines where school boys are forced to lower themselves to retrieve cellphones. Solidarity is fine, but we're in trouble at home.

inkabiYezwe JKwritingz

JKwritingz Always boers getting vip treatment there by courts mxm

JKwritingz Good decision.. Donation for what while we're struggling as a country

JKwritingz More details:

JKwritingz Another win for Afriform. Why are they the leading voice of reason against gov? Where is our opposition parties? What are they doing?
