CAMEROONPRIDE: we already have a bad image no need to add more

Besides with all the billionaires we have on this continent we do not even have a single news channel with reach of aljazeera or cnn to project highlight the achievements of this continent and sway people's views about africa in general. When you get into african homes, you'd see peeps watching CNN, BBC, france24, msnbc, foxnews newly aljazeera and CCTV news.

As you can clearly see, the americans are covered, the europeans are also covered, the chinese same, even the arabs. Yet africans want favourable media coverage. Hahaha "na today".

This south african lynx helo looks so much like the super puma. The similarities are very glaring.

That the oryx and it based on the puma chassie. But has new engiens, rotars, elictronics, avionics and internal layout.

CAMEROONPRIDE: i think each time we come across such videos we should flag/report them ...it's very sad to have such dehumanizing videos of Africans all over the Web

even when i do that those anti-africans never take it off! We really need to mobilize against this things, we should voice out so that the world will hear!! This is very inhuman! A Question was trown on yahoo! Answers page Yesterday of a possibility of an african pope, you should see the way the reacted calling african clerics babaric,baboons,animist etc! When i tried defending, i was way subdued because the entire onliners were racist, i almost got banned while the racist go scot free. This is Injustice! Meted on africa! We supply more than half the worlds natural resources, if we stop, the world economy would crash, i dnt knw how i can push this case to the highest point, bt i am wiling to go lengths for my Fatherland,AFRICA

I watch SABC-Africa which is a african current affairs channel on DSTV and it paints a total different story about the continent where issues are covered like less famine, rising income levels, growing infrastructure investments and improvements in literacy especially from girl child education. But the problem is good news never attracts sensation only africans dying on the streets do, they never show us how people are getting gunned down in Chicago or in poverty stricken areas in France where african immigrants face daily harassment by french security forces

worst case scenario, whenever the CNN and BBC RACIST our doing a documentary on Africa, all the show is hungry children, sick people,undeveloped areas, wild animals, unclad children as if all the whole of Africa is Famine stricken, as if there are no good places to show in africa!
Our the telling me that 4rm jo'burg,pretoria,dakar,brazaville,yaounde,accra,tripoli,lagos, down to abuja there arent good structures
and that every one are starving? The never show bad places like downtown detroit which are ruins in their own documentary! Fuc..k the Us, fuc.k the west, no wander the Arabs hate them like crab.

just a spay a litle time to check this;

http://www.africa.com/blog/why-i-was-invited-to-the-white-house/

We had a Danish exchange student who lived with us for 1year some time back, and when we went to fetch him from OR Thambo airport he couldn't believe that an african airport is almost twice the size of the Copenhagen airport, then to further ad insult he asked us where is the animals in our neighborhood because all he saw was buildings trees on the pavement on the side on our roads. I almost slapped the Pink of his face.

what you all are saying is what i have talked about ones before on several forums or fora (if there is any word as such). But the problem i have come to encounter is that, when you try to raise this issue, you will find that it is even africans that will come up and shout you down! They do this becos, they feel it is going to make people stop giving aid. This also means there willl be no money for them to embezzel.

@snydergp there is this case that gappened in Lagos. He was interviewed on radio. This american came here to train basketballers in Lagos. During the interview, he said when he came here, he was surprised that africa has mordern cars and flyover bridges. He said he use to think of africa as a safari place where you just come and see animals.

You know in america, baltimore or maryland or whatever the name of the city is records well over 500 murders a year, just a single city.

Yay! The longest thread in politics section. thanks to syndergp and mzauza refusal to back down

CAMEROONPRIDE: ^ i like the spirit
never knew SA were that proud lol

To fault. There is this beife among south africans. Only we can complian about south africa. If you sit in real sillent in a SA bar you will hear all these problems (crime, corruption, incoptent leaders, poor infustructer extra) but if a forghiner complians he will get torn apart because he is either soft rich kid from some 1st world country or he is frome some dirt pile and should not complian and be happy he is in SA.

The xena river patrol boat

Basicaly the same set up has a namcurra with 4 big difrences
1 water jets means no pros so it can operta in even shalower water
2 much greater range at 12 hours at 15knots
3 larger carry capacty with space for 6 marines or cargo
4 not has agile but still can go over 30 knots

SAN has around 15 all with the MRS(marins) they can be moved over road, air and by sea but have yet to be used in a deployment. They painted white since they ment for peace keeping missions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_Craft-class_inshore_patrol_vessel

SAN has 3 of these T craft. They classed has IPV but where built has air sea reascue launches. But they no longer needed in that role. Though unarmend they can carry one 12.7mm(some say it can carry a 20mm but in the DRC they had 12.7mm) and two 7.62mm machin guns. Crew of 15 it has a 7 day endurance and carrys a RIB. It has radar, echo sounder, GPS, commons and water jet engiens.

3 where sold to isreal.

They will be replaced(or complemted) by projected biro IPVs.

Yeah, RIGHT. It can do 360 decreases at top speed. Can't it also do somersaults, I guess the only thing left, is for the boat to represent SA at the olympics (gymnastic events). Great competition for the russians and chinese in RIO 2014.

They are okay, but I'm not impressed. I've seen better.

If you want you can come through to simmons town on between the 5 to 7 of aprill for the SA navy open day. They do the 180 degree turn.

The 360 turn is called a figure of 8 turn. It servis no milltary purpose but is still is a neat trick.



You correct they not the best patrol boats in the world. But for what there mission is there is nothing that beats them in africa. Rember they not war ships they built to protected harbous and water ways against covert, light attacks and costbillrie duties. Where stragic mobilty (they can be transport by road, air or sea) tactical mobilty (high speed, agil, shallow draft) are the most imported. We not iran and have no plan to use speed boats to attack warships.

Henry120:

Yes, snydergp and msuaza never listen. @snydergp, how is your mummy's cow?? The one you were riding on a bike with?

Bro i thought I gave it to your lady as a valentines day gift last month so that she can make ME a milk bath with roses, especially for when I visit her on the side .

By the way if had a cow it would've been on a braai(barbecue) stand by now roasting or in cold storage for my weekend pooitjie(stew) and beer festival.

Beef biltong is all so a good idea. Though personaly I ptever the game biltong.

SAAF and SAN requested its defense manufacturing wing DENEL DYNAMICS in the late 1990's to develope a tactical drone for target acquisition and DENEL came up with a redesigned drone which is called the SKUA Target Drone.

The drone uses a solid fuel rocket booster which gives it a cruise speed up to Mach 0,85 to 1,00.

Now if there's any other african military with such indigenous technological capabilities I would love to see one, maybe in 8-10 years such target drones would be in use by more african nation.

Now though this is a small step it just shows how far military tech has grown on the continent.

The Umbani (DPGM) is one of a series of SANDF's missiles in service and also exported to a number of countries.

Now to those who doubt what the outcome would be if there's a war between SA and other country, this is what we build in SA one of the best modern indigenous PGM's in the world.

Now SA uses both the UMBANI PGM (1st two pics) and the GBU-12 Paveway II (last)
