Date: May 5th, 2023 4:01 PM Author: Vibrant snowy public bath becky zozo has been the only site i've seen that has covered the slow motion descent of South Africa into a hellhole. i first got interested in the topic when a South African expat sat next to me on a flight and ruefully explained that all the trappings of a modern society had hollowed out and that it would all come crashing down in the blink of an eye in the next several years. ====

The maintenance started on 5 April and ended on 19 April 2023.
“Thereafter the technical team encountered a technical breakdown which requires a replacement of a critical part from the Original Equipment Manufacturer,” it said."
Just a chill two week routine maintenance AFTER WHICH a breakdown requires a new part lmao |

Date: May 5th, 2023 8:01 PM Author: greedy locus Even after shitpoasting hatefacts on the internet for over a decade about South Africa, it's still hard to believe it really happened. Every last one of the dire predictions you could see floating around 4chan in the mid/late 2000s came 100% true.
A first world nation with nukes and the third largest stock market in the world self-immolated itself to appease American and European (((international affairs experts))) who said "apartheid bad." Now it's a smoldering third world shithole with actual white genocide on a daily basis.
The world held up Mandela-an anti-white terrorist-as the beacon of peace and hope in the 90s. Since then, SA has more or less been quietly swept under the rug as it continues its descent back to primordial African nature. The suffering for every person in SA, both white and black, is unimaginable relative to the path they were on during apartheid.
It should be a chilling example to all non-NPCs. Whites will and have completely blown up civilization to avoid being called racist/appease foreign (((interests))). |

=====
According to the Nuclear Threat Initiative, in 1977 Israel traded 30 grams of tritium for 50 tonnes of South African uranium, and in the mid-1980s assisted with the development of the RSA-3 and RSA-4 ballistic missiles, which are similar to the Israeli Shavit and Jericho missiles.[21] Also in 1977, according to foreign press reports, it was suspected that South Africa signed a pact with Israel that included the transfer of military technology and the manufacture of at least six nuclear bombs.[22]

SUBMIT NATION Paper-based licenses to save LTO’s day in the face of card shortages By: Beatrice Pinlac - Reporter / @BPinlacINQ INQUIRER.net / 04:48 PM April 20, 2023

MANILA, Philippines — The supply of plastic cards for driver’s licenses is running low, the head of the Land of Transportation Office (LTO) disclosed Thursday, saying the permits will just be printed on paper soon.
LTO chief Jose Arturo Tugade said they are looking at rolling out temporary driver’s license documents printed on the back of official receipts as a solution to the problem.
He noted that LTO offices across the country are left with an inventory of 147,000 driver’s license cards.
FEATURED STORIES NEWSINFO ‘Joey de Leon’, QC’s 6th most wanted person, arrested for drugs NEWSINFO LTO to trim exam of driver’s license applicants NEWSINFO Teves lawyer mocks DOJ: Where are the charges? “Ang forecast ng LTO is completely mauubos iyong inventory on hand ng mga office by the last week of April,” Tugade said in a news conference.
(The LTO forecasts that our offices will completely run out of on-hand inventory by the last week of April.)
“The solution is to use a temporary driver’s license document. We will be using paper for the temporary driver’s license. We will be printing the official receipt of the driver’s license. And on the official receipt of the driver’s license, there will be a unique QR code… That is one way for the law enforcers to validate whether or not the official receipt is legitimate,” he then explained, speaking partly in Filipino.
Tugade said driver’s license holders may take a photo of their permit’s printout but should ensure the QR code can be clearly scanned for verification.
Procurement woes According to the LTO chief, the agency knew as early as November 2022 that the inventory of cards for driver’s licenses was already at a “critical level.”
He said the LTO was already prepared to procure additional supply sometime in January. But “we received a department order. [It] instructed us that all procurement involving P50 million and above should be conducted by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) Central Office,” he added.
The cost of purchasing 5.2 million new cards for driver’s licenses is pegged at P249 million, Tugade noted.
“Had we been able to continue with our procurement activities, we would have sufficient plastic cards,” he said.
He also said the LTO had repeatedly sought to have the department order reconsidered, stressing the urgent need to procure a fresh batch of plastic cards. The request, however, was not granted.
“We kept on trying to convince them [just to allow] us to procure pero wala ngang nangyari (but nothing happened),” Tugade said.
The DOTr, however, said it is already working on purchasing a part of the total driver’s license cards needed “after the LTO’s failure to undertake early procurement activities in compliance with the existing rules.”
It noted in a statement that the DOTr’s bids and awards panel is still evaluating the procurement terms of reference (TOR) submitted by the LTO in late March.
It likewise said that the committee had “decided to assess the TOR to determine a more efficient, effective and economic option at procuring the license cards” after a pre-bidding conference in April.
The DOTr added that it is also in talks with the Government Procurement Policy Board-Technical Support Service to fast-track the purchase of the license cards.
“DOTr hopes to procure enough license cards before supply runs out and while the TOR is being remedied so the bidding for supply of license can proceed,” the agency said.
The LTO’s problem with low supply of plastic cards for driver’s licenses is not new.
A similar dilemma was encountered by the LTO in 2015, prompting the agency to extend the 150-day validity of temporary driver’s licenses until it could address its inadequate inventory of cards. RELATED STORIES
