Billed as Africa’s first home-grown military aircraft, the Advanced High-Performance Reconnaissance Light Aircraft (AHRLAC) made its first test flight in South Africa this week, marking a milestone in the continent’s aviation history.

Someone feels he's wiser than the world. A quick search on Google by typing African indigenous aircraft, brings out the AHRLAC.

CDS, CNS and all the traditional rulers in delta state came out to commission 20 gun boats, they don’t have shame...

Foreign firms have always wanted access to Nigeria's defence industry. Nigeria is the centre of interest for the west. Just that Nigeria refuses. What everyone should know is simple. Nigeria and SA' defence industry are completely different in the sense that whilst the former as state policy allows almost non-existent advanced foreign military tech investments in it's industry the latter does without restrictions. SA does not have single monopoly of the defence systems it produces

Uzbek is a unique language with its Askiya a word game or humour where a word or a sentence may have quite different meaning.

There is no article and gender in Uzbek, but it has six cases.

SupremeCourt:


You are a mumu and a disgrace to the school you attended. Simple google search shows the few honest South Africans calling AHRLAC a Boeing product put together in a South African factory

AHRLAC jointly developed and marketed with Boeing, may be classified as Boeing products, full line production of all Ahrlac airframes will remain South African endeavour.

http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/production-of-ahrlac-aircraft-set-to-begin-in-early-2017-2016-10-07

The AHRLAC aircraft design and aluminium airframe you are giving the Southies credit for, was a job done by Germany, them Southies traveled to meet German engineers and asked them to do concept and design, then run go to America ask Pratt & Whitney USA to give engine and transmission, Boeing USA to develop and supply all avionics, computers, electronics, weapons system, surveillance system. Finally Germany designed and built the airframe, body, fuselage. What tech job did South Africa do on AHRLAC to make them ask Nigerians to show what aircraft Nigeria built? Who is the fool here?

All these were kept secret as confirmed by engineering reports from inside South Africa.

The secrecy behind manufacture of AHRLAC is understandable, engineers working on the AHRLAC project have teamed up with engineers from German machine tool builder DMG MORI and have come up with a concept. Talks between AHRLAC engineers and German DMG MORI engineers began back in 2014 with concepts decided on in 2015. German DMG engineers began building the machine shortly thereafter for delivery in 2017

Yes, AHRLAC is America 95%, Germany 4%, South Africa 1%. That is the secret truth about 'made in South Africa' AHRLAC they have been fooling all of you about, for this expose, the South Africans will murder me in cold blood if they wish. Next time Southies, dont peddle your lies to Nigerians.

SouthAfrica Police Service paid company Forensic Data Analysts (FDA) R52million for 169 torches - R300'000 each (US$21,147)
Media reports today have revealed that on the last day of the 2015/16 financial year, the South African Police Service (SAPS) paid Forensic Data Analysts (FDA) over R52 million for a contract for 169 torches.

This amounts to an astonishingly exorbitant R300 000 per torch.

The invoice for the contract was paid for by the section in which former Acting National Police Commissioner General Khomotso Phahlane’s wife works. FDA is owned by a businessman that has been implicated in potentially corrupt transactions with Phahlane through the provision of luxury vehicles to him and his wife.

The DA will therefore write to the Secretary of Police, Mr Alvin Rapea, to request a specific investigation and analysis project of the SAPS expenditure over the last 5 financial years by the Civilian Secretariat, as per section 6(1)(b) of the Civilian Secretariat, in order to closely scrutinise potentially irrational or wasteful large contracts.

The reports also state that the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) is investigating other suspicious transactions between the SAPS and FDA.

SAPS annual reports always show that the department’s budget is fully spent yet police stations are always under-staffed and under-resourced. Stations are often told that there is not enough money when they ask for additional vehicles and personnel up the chain of command.

The DA have always suspected and can only conclude that the SAPS budget continues to be misspent due to skewed priorities and irrational procurement in supply chain management. This revelation sadly sheds light on that seemingly being the case. LINK https://www.da.org.za/2017/11/da-requests-investigation-exorbitant-saps-expenditure/

Good thing you weren't around in the good old days, meltdowns were much worst than this and lasted more than 3 pages....yet nobody called for the mods, we all had that unwritten rule that we would never involve the mods, unfortunately the newbies never got the memo.
Rather go on your sabbatical and let nature take its course
