agaugust: They are there for border control in operation corona and only provide assistance if called upon by rangers It's not a military operation so your post is completely irrelevant Also we are better at protecting rhino than you are at protecting your own people How many rhino have we lost this year? How many people have you lost this year? Yeah I thought so |

patches689: Bwahahaha They are for real ! They will also show the failed SANDF on TV, American special forces have taken over Kruger park from your famous South African special forces 'Bush War Master'.....right inside your own homeland bush Your SANDF shame will be televised as a TV show, so that your ranking can be adjusted worldwide, then UN and AU will be glad they never allowed the cowardly South African army to lead any International military operations Real American commandos for real war to save South Africa ! "Battleground: Rhino Wars" - These men are tough. How else would you describe four highly trained, combat-seasoned Special Ops veterans risking life and limb to help stop the illegal poaching of African rhinos? These remarkable men are using their experience fighting for America to fight an entirely new battle: A battle against extinction. Endangered, hunted, slaughtered Each year, hundreds of rhinos are killed in the Greater Kruger area of South Africa. These beautiful animals are slaughtered by poachers who have one goal in mind: The animal's horn. As if the killings weren't enough, local authorities and park rangers are in danger too -- more than 100 park rangers have been killed by poachers, and the risk rises every day. When Craig Sawyer, a former Navy SEAL and military consultant, was chosen by one of South Africa's anti-poaching units to put together a team to help stop these criminals, he knew it would take a special kind of man. "I found a crew of different guys I have known throughout my career," he says. "Guys with combat experience and real-world experience." The Special Ops experience was key. The way Sawyer sees it, U.S. Military Special Ops teams are an almost brutally simple solution for complex problems. "If you really look at it, Special Ops is a problem-solving service under adverse conditions, so with that background, we're particularly suited to go to a foreign land, find out the nature of the problem, find a solution and apply the fix." http://www.hlntv.com/slideshow/2013/03/07/rhino-wars-animal-planet-navy-seals-green-berets [size=14pt]#AmericanCommandoes ToSave SANDF [/size] . 1 Like |

patches689: NATURE CONSERVATION IS NOT A MILITARY DUTY. IF SOLDIERS ARE USED AS NATURE CONSERVATIVE OPERATIVES THEN WE'LL END UP AS A RUN DOWN NATION LIKE NIGERIA WHERE SOLDIERS ARE USED TO PLANT ON THEIR COMMANDER'S FARMS. SOLDIERS CAN ONLY BE USED TO HELP IN PUBLIC HOSPITALS DURING STRIKES AND PICKETING, ROAD BLOCKS, AND OF COURSE POACHING WHERE THEY ONLY HELP ENFORCE SECURITY. HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THEIR PRIMARY FUNCTION. SOLDIERS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE OVER FUNCTIONS OF CIVILIAN FUNCTIONS ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION. SINCE THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN KNP, POACHING HAS BEEN A THING OF THE PAST. LASTLY, POACHING IS NOT TERRORISM BUT CRIME. THANK YOU. |

agaugust: [size=14pt]I PERSONALLY DO NOT BELIEVE NIGERIA HAS EVER KILLED THE REAL SHEKAU. 1. THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHO IS THE REAL SHEKAU. THEIR CLAIM IS MERELY SPECULATIVE 2. THE BODY OF SHEKAU WAS NOT FOUND TO BACK THEIR UNFOUNDED CLAIMS. 3. THEIR INTELLIGENCE WAS SO FRAGMENTED SUCH THAT IT COULD NOT EVEN CONVINCE THE PRESIDENT IF SHEKAU WAS IN EFFECT REALLY KILLED. THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF CONFESSED BEFORE THE PUBLIC THAT HE REMAINS UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE DEATH OF SHEKAU. 3. NIGERIA'S TEMPORARY SUCCESS AGAINST INSURGENCY DROVE THEM TO BRING ABOUT PROPAGANDA WITH THE AIM OF QUELLING DOWN THE FEAR OF BOKO HARAM IN THE PUBLIC. HOWEVER, THE APPLIED STRATEGY FAILED TO BEAR ANY FRUITS AND THEY WERE DEEPLY IMPRESSED THAT BH WILL NEVER RISE AGAIN. CONCLUSION: THERE IS NO SHEKAU THAT WAS EVER KILLED BY NIGERIAN ARMED FORCES. THAT IS JUST A WEAK CLAIM THAT HAS NO BEARING ON REALITY. [/size] 3 Likes |

agaugust: Retired men working at a private game reserve - for a TV show There are many private APU companies in South Africa who work on private land Here is an example of one http://www.protrackapu.co.za And btw, when it came to make an arrest guess who takes over? SAPS-STF I would know- I have seen a couple of episodes Also show us where Kruger Park or any national Park or the SANDF is involved As usual you have taken a small peice of truth and stretched it out into a huge lie I find it ironic that you insult us about rhino when you can't protect your own people: almost 3 Nigerians are killed by BH for every rhino killed by poachers 4 Likes |

Living in self-delusion: Who controls Africa’s economy— Nigeria or South Africa? on September 01, 2014 / in Broken Links 12:56 am / Comments By OMOH GABRIEL When in 2004 President Olusegun Obasanjo muted the idea of a state- backed Nigerian company that can compete favourably with multinational companies, Nigerians partially bought into the idea. AfricaThis led to the setting up of Transnational Company of Nigeria otherwise called Transcorp. It was meant to be private sector-driven but has the stamp and backing of the state. As soon as the company started, insinuations and condemnation trailed its take off and not too long after, what was a noble idea fizzled out. The dream was stillborn. Japan, unlike Nigeria, when it started its post-war economic reconstruction, put in place appropriate economic policies to support the development of the private sector. Over the years, it was the dynamism of the Japanese private sector that saw a country without natural endowment emerging in the late 70s as world economic power house. Looking at the example of the economy of South Korea, it is the same dynamism of private sector companies that has brought the country to its present status as one of the Asian tigers. You can easily count the companies making wave in South Korea — Kia Motors, Daewoo, LG Electronics, Hyundai etc. Nigeria today prides itself as the leading economy in Africa by gross domestic product measure. That is all there is to it. The question to ask is who are those making it happen in the Africa continent? How many Nigeria-owned companies of note are global players in Africa’s economic scenario? The fact on ground has reduced the Nigeria euphoria to mere cheap talk, fantasy and day-dreaming. Apart from Dangote Cement, perhaps UBA, Zenith, GTbank and few others which have presence in some African countries, though not in South Africa and North Africa; there is no visible presence of Nigerian businesses elsewhere. But South Africa which Nigeria with fanfare celebrated it took over from as the leading economy in Africa, is everywhere in Nigeria and other African countries. A global bank ranking by The Banker in 2014 has shown that South Africa dominates banking industry by assets in Africa. The assets of Standard Bank alone is more than that of the five leading banks in Nigeria despite the 2004 banking consolidation. Financial industry report also showed that ETI is the largest bank in Africa by spread and majority of its staff are Nigerians. Indications are that South Africa’s fourthlargest bank, Nedbank will by the end of 2014 own 20 per centof ETI. Simply put, a South African bank will be the largest bank in Africa by assets and one of its other bank is about to own 20 per cent of Africa’s largest bank by spread. Funny enough, ETI is not even headquartered in Nigeria but is depending on Nigeria to drive its earnings. So who is the leader? Nigerians should please think and answer the simple question. Another South African bank, Standard Bank, bought over IBTC/Chartered Bank which, for purpose of identity, is called Stanbic/IBTC. This Nigerian arm of the South Africa bank is the largest equity trader by value in Nigeria, largest portfolio manager and is represented on the council of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. It has also been selected as the sole broker for the Federal Government of Nigeria and was picked by the government to be the settlement bank for the electronic warehouse receipt system introduced by the Nigerian Commodity Exchange. Its founder and board chairman of the Nigerian arm of Standard Bank, Mr. Atedo Peterside is on Nigeria’s Economic Management Team. The poser to this government is: which Nigerian bank has made any inroads worth mentioning into South Africa? How many Nigerian corporate entities are operating in South Africa profitably? No thanks to haphazard economic policies of government. According to Jude Fejokwu, Principal Analyst, Thaddeus Africa Research, Templeton has its African investments office in South Africa but its emerging market star manager is more excited about Nigeria than South Africa. Renaissance Asset Management, he disclosed, has a pure Nigerianfund and so does Sustainable Capital. Both companies run the funds out of South Africa. It is now obvious MTN Nigeria generated 37 per centof total revenue for the MTN Group worldwide as at first half of 2014. The Nigerian arm’s revenue was 41.5 per centhigher than that of the home country, South Africa. The Nigerian arm increased revenue by 21.5 per cent while the South African arm had a decline in revenue of 7 per cent. MTN has been in Nigeria for 13 years and Nigeria contributes more than a third of the revenue for the whole MTN Group worldwide. Meanwhile, MTN Nigeria is not listed here, where it rides the wave of profitability and repatriates the funds back home. DSTV will be no different from MTN in terms of where majority of its revenue comes from. It increases its subscription fees every 15 months on average. It is also not listed in Nigeria. China’s National Development & Reform Commission handles issues of pricing in China in conjunction with two others. The organisation recently forced automakers like Mercedes to reduce their prices which the Chinese said were selling in excess of their home markets. The same thing that the Chinese authorities kicked against is happening here in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and no one is talking of doing anything about it. The people who are in position to do something about this are busy discussing how to embezzle more money to afford these exorbitant prices instead of protecting the populace. Tiger Brands, a South African company has bought a majority stake in UAC Foods and Dangote Flour in its quest to drive earnings which have stagnated in its home country. Shoprite, another South African firm is working on its 10th shop in Nigeria presently. It does not disclose its profit margins and is listed in its home country and not in Nigeria where it is making a lot more money than it envisaged and continues to have increases in headline earnings. I cannot but agree with Jude Fajokwu, Principal analyst Thaddeus Africa Research that Nigeria may be the largest economy overnight but it is definitely not seen as the wife of African financial services industry. It remains a bachelorette that no one is interested in marrying because they are getting so much milk and honey piewithout commitment, so why proceed further. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/09/living-self-delusion-controls-africas-economy-nigeria-south-africa/#sthash.zZfQMSPc.dpuf 1 Like |
