Business proponents of the WEF agenda use the climate change agenda to start the process of disrupting the energy sector in South Africa. This agenda followed on 2021 nefarious COVID-19 strategy. Most CSI businesses were prominent in driving the corrupt vaccination agenda. BUSA announced that B4SA and BLSA were established to assist with the COVID-19 vaccination agenda. The disorder in the world seems to be of design.

Power stations provide electricity for Eskom, and the appointment of De Ruiter (now writing for an Afrikaans Sunday newspaper, Rapport, which belongs to Naspers) mainly aimed to introduce IPP. He created a crisis by shutting down coal-fired power stations under the umbrella of climate change targets. He then produced “evidence” of sabotage through a private R50 million investigation paid by Rothchild through various intermediaries. The R50 million investigation led to no arrests. Maybe it was to create a “legend” for De Ruiter to force-feed the IPP agenda. As soon as businesses registered their IPP companies, the media started with new “climate” and “discrediting “agendas. All IPP companies registered during this time's licenses should be revoked.

Less spoken about is the rearrangement of Engen and Caltex's shareholding, the fuel for road transport. The SA economy is almost completely dependent on road transport (during the FM's tenure as minister of transport and blamed on COVID-19). Road transport can only function if there is fuel. It might be that the ANC allows these new shareholders to create a crisis that could lead to better reciprocal deals with other suppliers.

The Competition Commission seems unable to understand these dubious strategies by corporations. On top of the list of companies to monitor should be mining, energy, communication, banking, and security companies. Remgro, Anglo, Glencore, Sanlam, and Naspers are some companies that should be watched. Infrastructure, food, and water security should be protected.

Astron (Glencore) Energy bought Caltex. The late Marc Rich founded Glencore, the suspected head of the Jewish mafia. Glencore used Shanduka to advance its corporate agenda (state capture). Glencore paid many penalties to other African countries but seems to have political elite protection in South Africa.

The ANC was allowing CR to be President as business deployment is a shrewd way of implementing advantages within the lawless environment for themselves. Remgro and Naspers allowing these opportunists (doing nothing for the poor) in the ANC to function outside the ambiance of the law fuels lawlessness. They should implement their ethical commitment and stop supporting any ANC person bringing law and order into disrepute. It is a no-brainer.

Phuthuma Nhleko, through Phembani, was a major shareholder of Engen (see organogram below). Shanduka (former CEO Puti Debengwa and now CEO of Naspers Africa) was “bought” by Phuthuma Nhleko and created PhembaniRemgro.
