LUBBE FOUNDATION : Inquiries from Bloggers upon what assistance would be of value

Firstly I would like to thanks all that responded to my blogs with regards to the Lubbe Foundation. I therefore decided to give it another chance in spite of previous losses. Well above all, I would only discuss contributions via my Email at helpmehelpother@gmail.com I had many people contacting me previously with scams on the Lubbe Foundation e mail and therefore I decided to create a gmail account to prevent continous scam attempts.

Well after my previous blog I received many inquiries. Therefore I am going to place a repeat blog for all my followers whereby they can see what the Lubbe Foundation is in need of. I therefore would also want to apologies for any problems caused. Due to the fact we want to become self sustainable and that the Lubbe Foundation just cater for "the elderly", "children" and Nature, the following is needed in forms of donations:


A website whereby all activities can be posted
Software program whereby Financial statements can be done and it must be 24hrs available for public interest, for I belief everyone must know where the money goes.
Non perishable food
Toys
Children clothes and clothes for the elderly
Blankets
Pillows
Wheel chairs, Walking aids, Medical equipment that can be used in old age homes.
Cash to buy land in each of the nine provinces to ensure facilities and produce of perishables to become sustainable.
Shoes for the elderly and youth
Anything else that can be of value for the above groups.

The idea to avoid logistical problems is to have a co-ordinator or co-ordinators in each country of support.

Once again thank you for all your support and motivation.

Answer to Question : Will I ever think of pursuing my dream with the Lubbe Foundation

I recently had a few questions via e mail on the Lubbe Foundation. The one asked mostly is if I would ever attempt to pursuing my dream with the Lubbe Foundation? My answer is yes, however with my first attempt and no support as previously stated in a previous blog. First with the previous attempt I ended up with almost $10 000 in debt. I am still trying to repay the money to the bank for I am not prepared to put myself further into debt.

When I covered my financial cost and have people and companies that would support me with finances, website, food, clothing and most of all find a suitable piece of land then I would do it again. I will also stay with my original plan of not involving Government or any other Government organization for support or subsidy, for then I am bound to their criteria. The Lubbe foundation might also be subjected to being part of Government corruption. The whole Idea of the Lubbe Foundation was to be transparent in such way that there would not be anything to hide and that all that is part of the Lubbe foundation have sight of what is going on within the Lubbe Foundation on a regular basis.

This time if I do not have external support and people that can help me with networking. I would not attempt it again and the Lubbe Foundation can then be attempted after my death. Sound harsh but if I cannot be honest when answering questions, how can people trust me.

Please note that I am not using my blog to ask for money or to network in getting funds. If people other than me want to be part of the Lubbe Foundation to become a reality, I can be contacted via e mail : helpmehelp other@gmail.com
PLEASE NOTE THAT NO MONEY SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ANYONE THAT ATTEMPTS TO USE MY BLOG SPACE FOR FUNDRAISING OR WHATEVER REASON. Through the above e-mail detailed info would be given.  

The Bushman : Copied from Wikipedia

The Bushmen probably became the first modern people to migrate to the southern tip of the African continent. Skilled hunter-gatherers and nomads, the Bushmen had great respect for the land, and their lifestyle had low environmental impact, allowing them to sustain their way of life for years without leaving much archaeological evidence. Other than a series of striking rock paintings, the Bushmen left few traces of their early culture. Attempts to analyse the existing samples by radiocarbon dating indicate that the Bushmen lived in the area of modern-day South Africa at least as late as 25,000 years ago, and possibly as early as 40,000 years ago. Small numbers of Bushmen still live in South Africa today, making their culture one of the oldest continuously existing in the world, along with that of the Indigenous Australians.

Beginning around 2000 years ago, some Bushman groups acquired livestock from further north. Gradually, hunting and gathering gave way to herding as the dominant economic activity as the Bushmen tended to small herds of cattleand oxen. The arrival of livestock is thought to have introduced concepts of personal wealth and property-ownershipinto Bushman society. Community structures solidified, stratified and expanded, resulting in the development ofchieftaincies.

The pastoralist Bushmen, known as Khoikhoi began to move further south, reaching as far as the cape now known as the Cape of Good Hope. Along the way they intermarried with the hunter-gatherer Bushmen, whom they referred to asSan, to the point where drawing a clear line between the two groups became impossible (prompting the use of the termKhoisan). Over time the Khoikhoi established themselves along the coast, while small groups of Bushmen continued to inhabit the interior.

There are only an estimated of 10000 of these SAN People in South Africa left. With destruction of their land, their cultural, habitat and homes get destroyed and yet still they are being denied a right of heritage in South Africa by Government inspite of the government being forced to recoqnize them.

Protest actions and strikes

The South African Police regularly being described by the world to be brutal and unorganized during these action, whereby they merely protect themselves and other.

What people do not know or keep in mind is that almost every strike or protest action in South Africa is done by people armed with all types of weapons that is normally on a path of destruction and killing. They kill and intimidate workers that want to work and then also destroy infra structure and property. 

What is worse is that the adults in many cases use children and even babies for "protection" when participating in these actions and then if something happen to the child or baby. The police and other agencies get the blame. 

Many of these strikes is to service deliver whereby migrants illegally occupy land where there is no infra structure of facilities. These people normally move from area where they do have houses and facilities to these informal settlements in search of work and to escape from poverty. It is then expected that local authorities must provide immediate water and toilets as well as electricity whereby it was not in the city plan for that area and no funding available. In recent protest in the Western Cape near Cape Town the people demanded houses and toilets. As interim the local authorities provided water points and bucket system toilets. This however was destroyed in a following protest action costing millions and demanded for flush toilets. After spending Millions there was another protest action where these toilets were totally damaged and now the action is again for toilets and housing as promised by National government. I wonder where do they think the money comes from to every time rebuild damaged structures. 

It is clear that these actions is done by people that is plainly classified as violent, irrational and natural criminal orientated people. What logical person would burn trains and buses if they are not happy with inadequate transport and prices. What a person would bring their children as part of these actions. What a person would damage roads and attack people using roads with these actions. 

Well this is what National Government entertain and allow. Not only do South Africa and its tax payers loos millions in corruption and fraud by Government officials, but also millions by people that just demand and does not have the intellect to know how to protect what we have while asking for more. 

Strikes like this become a normal sight and as previously said. The world is only seeing through media what actions the police and authorities took but one would never see the devastation and violence of the strikers an as stated using children as cover when shooting, throwing petrol bombs or killing innocent people. With reference to the Marekane strike a while ago, I wondered what all the critics about the police actions would have done if they were in their shoes. Thousands of violent mine workers attacked the police officials and the world expected them to down fire arms and wait to be killed. 

Once again I am just exercise my constitutional right in terms of freedom of speech and are not affiliated to any political party or association. I am also not a racist for this article is based on facts and it is just unfortunate that almost all the actions is done by people as in photo's. Photo's were obtained from internet sources and other media. Any inquiries or comments can also be directed to my e mail helpmehelpother@gmail.com

Please continue supporting my blog and help me to spread my articles across the globe for it is important that people know what is going on if it comes to facts.

May all be blessed and once again a great thank you from South Africa.

Reverse Apartheid - White Slums South Africa

South African National bird : BLUE CRANE

The Blue Crane (Anthropoides paradiseus), also known as the Stanley Crane and the Paradise Crane, is the national bird of South Africa.

These facts about our National bird is totally being copied from Wikepedia and therefore cannot take any credit for any part or photo in this article


Blue Cranes are birds of the dry grassy uplands, usually the pastured grasses of hills, valleys, and plains with a few scattered trees. They prefer areas in the nesting season that have access to both upland and wetland areas, though they feed almost entirely in dry areas. They are altitudinal migrants, generally nesting in the lower grasslands of an elevation of around 1,300 to 2,000 m and moving down to lower altitudes for winter. Though historically found in areas of low human disturbance, the blue crane is currently thriving in the highly transformed agricultural areas of the Western Cape. This is the only portion of its range where the population is increasing, though they still face threats such as poisoning in the region.

Decline[edit]

While it remains common in parts of its historic range, and approx. 26 000 individuals remain, it began a sudden population decline from around 1980 and is now classified as vulnerable.

In the last two decades, the Blue Crane has largely disappeared from the Eastern Cape, Lesotho, and Swaziland. The population in the northern Free State, Limpopo, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and North West Province has declined by up to 90%. The majority of the remaining population is in eastern and southern South Africa, with a small and separate population in the Etosha Pan of northern Namibia. Occasionally, isolated breeding pairs are found in five neighbouring countries.

The primary causes of the sudden decline of the Blue Crane are human population growth, the conversion of grasslands into commercial tree plantations, and poisoning: deliberate (to protect crops) or accidental (baits intended for other species, and as a side-effect of crop dusting).

The South African government has stepped up legal protection for the Blue Crane. Other conservation measures are focusing on research, habitat management, education, and recruiting the help of private landowners.

My own Comments

How ever one part of government do attempt to save the Blue Crane, they do nothing in preventing the natural habitat to be destroyed and / or polluted. With my previous post I placed emphasis on what migration and most of the people in South Africa do. Both Government and other organizations just give attention to what the Tourist see and present the Blooming South Africa. I am proud of my country and Heritage and this is the reason why I bring the other side of South Africa to the world for I am afraid that maybe one day we might end up like other african nations where we would not have a ecology left and solely depend on foreign aid and feeding schemes. This is not an attack on any organization or government and I merely just exercise my rights to freedom of speech as stipulated by the Constitution of South Africa.
