Newsflash:The ANC just banned the use of OMO ... - Ulysses SA

Volume 9 Number 57 

Since our previous expose on the world wide Café Racer revival, it has come to our 

notice that some of you are trying to get your hands on an older bike and transform it 

into a trendy Café racer ala the TV show. Well that is all very well but do you have the 

necessary skill, time and of course oodles of cash to realise your dream? 

Firstly it requires a little more skill than the average guy to take an old bike, cut it up 

and then create a masterpiece that not only looks good, runs well and is safe to ride. 

You will also find that a simple project could end up costing you an arm and a leg as we 

do not have the abundance of spares and old bikes as the Americans and Europeans do, 

so you will pay more for parts especially as you may have to purchase them from 

overseas. You could pay someone to make the parts for you and of course now that the 

TV show has aired, many people think their pieces of junk are worth a king’s ransom, 

so in the end your build could be a costly experience. 

Secondly once you have finished it, will it be reliable and more importantly..safe? Well 

if you have any doubts about your abilities in any of those areas then relax, Norton, 

Triumph and Moto Guzzi are producing beautiful, reliable and extremely safe “off the 

peg” café racers just for you. 

If I think of the vibration, oil leaks and virtually no brakes of my Triumph and Norton, 

I am hesitant to even think of purchasing an old one and converting it into my dream 

bike. The Norton Commando 961 above would be my first choice but at over 250 K it is 

out of reach. The Triumph Thruxton (centre) is a more affordable proposition and 

Triumph have a huge variety of aftermarket parts and spares to help you further 

customise your bike if you require it. Not to be out done Moto Guzzi has upgraded their 

Forever young!

V7 racer into a modern café racer. (Right hand side.) It is said; “Ride a Moto Guzzi for 

ten minutes and you will hate it, but ride it for a day and you will never be parted from 

it.” So if you want a café style racer that is reliable, safe to ride and looks the part 

perhaps you should take a look at one of these? Who knows maybe even BMW will 

bring out a production boxer café racer model for those of you who only purchase 

Bavarian. However it must be said that taking an older BMW boxer and converting it is 

a good way to go, as they seldom leaked, their brakes worked and they have always 

been reliable. 

Obviously it has not gone unnoticed that many of you have purchased BMW GS models 

because of the bad potholes in your street and because you may take to our back roads 

once in a while. But if you grew up riding early British iron in the sixties and seventies 

then a GS can never help you recreate your misspent youth. That can only be done by 

roaring down the road on your modified, shiny racer. I know that our younger 

members cannot relate to this article, as they were still riding tricycles or being pushed 

in prams by mommy when we were having our fun, but trust me just try it and you will 

be hooked. In fact I believe that the café racer scene is what biking is all about, serious 

carefree fun. 

Ulysses East London, your club that cares has decided to 

include the following information for our younger readers to 

peruse. (Cause they don’t know what a Moto Guzzi is) 

The Italian built Moto Guzzi Le Mans is long, lean and unmistakable, with its tiny 

headlamp fairing and muscular transverse V-twin engine. It was arguably the most 

stylish superbike of the mid-1970’s. Much more than that, it was fast, handled superbly 

and had excellent brakes. It was a hard-charging road burner that could cruise 

effortlessly at 161km/h, carve through corners at a rapid pace and generally keep up 

with the best of its rival from Italy or Japan. Its top speed of about 209km/h made it one 

of the fastest bikes on the road in 1976 and that performance was delivered with a 

relaxed feel that encouraged fast cruising which was enhanced by its excellent highspeed 

handling, aided by firm and well damped suspension. 

The engine size was 844cc, with a compression ratio of10.2:1. It had 36mm Dell’Orto 

carburettors, plus a new free breathing exhaust system. It had shaft-drive with a slowshifting 

five speed gearbox and produced 80bhp at 7300rpm. The big motor was lumpy 

at low speed, but smoothed out as the revs rose, and pulled hard through the mid-range.

A rigid steel frame and stiff suspension ensured immense high-speed stability and if you 

got too excited the brake setup of three linked, cast iron Brembo discs was far superior 

to most rival systems of the day especially in the wet. It was by Italian standards wellbuilt 

and reliable although the electrical’s were typically poor. Moto Guzzi builds a 

variety of bikes, notably the Stevio a 1200 8V off road tourer, The Norge GT which is a 

comfortable long range tourer. The Griso a naked street fighter and lastly the Café 

Racer styled V7 racer. They say curiosity killed the cat so if you are interested their web 

site is www.motoguzzisa.co.za 

Finally an eco-friendly cellphone that runs 

on Coca-Cola. Designer Daizi Zheng (such 

clever chaps these Chinese) has developed 

the ultimate Nokia „green‟ phone. It works 

by generating electricity through 

carbohydrates such as the sugar contained 

in coke and other similar drinks. It does not 

pollute because the end product of the 

process is water and oxygen and to top it 

all this completely biodegradable battery 

can last up to 3-4 times the normal life of 

lithium batteries. A red-bull version is 

being tested to power satellite phones!

The truth behind the Lonmin, Marikana problems! 

Amidst all the confusion after the shooting of 44 protesting miners at Lonmin’s Marikana platinum mine 

in South Africa, we should not lose sight of the astonishingly simple underlying issues. We are told the 

workers are demanding that their wage be raised to R12,500 per month (about $1,500) but the workers 

claim their salary is already at this level. They say they are sub-contracted by a company owned by 

billionaire South African oligarch Cyril Ramaphosa. He only pays them R5,400 or less and pockets the 

rest paid out by Lonmin. 

If this is so then agreeing to the workers’ demands would cost Lonmin nothing and the whole dispute is 

between the workers and Cyril Ramaphosa. Instead of saying this however, Lonmin has placed itself 

between the two and taken responsibility for negotiating a pay rise which no one has asked for. Doing 

this, Lonmin is placing Cyril Ramaphosa’s private interests above those of its common stockholders and 

is neglecting its fiduciary duties. It is also leaving itself open to litigation. 

Cyril Ramaphosa in fact owns 9% of Lonmin but was paid out $304m in cash by the company in 2010 in 

a deal backed ultimately by Xstrata. By comparison common shareholders have received only $60m in 

dividends in the last two years and have incurred over $2.5bn of paper losses. What the workers are 

requesting is that Ramaphosa share with them about $18m which he is taking from their wages. When 

Cyril Ramaphosa bought 50.03% of Lonmin’s Black Economic Empowerment partner Incwala 

Resources in 2010, Lonmin put up the $304m in cash which he needed. Lonmin funded this with a share 

issue to which, according to Lonmin, Xstrata was the key subscriber. Since then a further $51m of credit 

has been extended to Ramaphosa. 

Ramaphosa’s company also provides all of Lonmin’s welfare and training services and for this he may 

have been paid at least $50m in 2011 alone. Based on the worker’s demands and their living conditions, 

we can guess at how much of this reached its stated purpose. Companies linked to Ramaphosa were also 

paid “advance dividends” by Lonmin of $20m in the last two years. All-in Lonmin seems to have paid 

Ramaphosa and his related companies well over $400m since he bought into the company. This is about 

25% of Lonmin’s current market value and is a very large amount for a man who was supposed to be 


4

doing the paying when he bought his stake. 

And this is not all. The Marikana conflict is portrayed as a dispute between two unions, the hegemonic 

NUM and a small new union, the AMCU. But the NUM has been Cyril Ramaphosa’s vehicle since he 

founded it in 1982. He was its Secretary General until 1998, the year he went into private business to 

become a billionaire. This has led to claims that the ANC has instituted a form of modern day slave 

labour. The workers’ employer and their union are effectively the same person. Is it surprising that the 

workers worry that their union is not wholeheartedly defending their legal rights? 

All this casts the Marikana conflict in a very different light to what we have heard so far. The dirt-poor 

Marikana workers, many from Lesotho, living in slums, wearing rags, are asking for an extra $750 per 

month from one of the most powerful figures in the ANC and one of the richest men in the world, and 

they are openly calling him an exploiter. Such a debacle, which calls into question not only Lonmin, 

Xstrata and Ramaphosa but also the whole ANC hierarchy, the reality of the “New South Africa” and the 

credibility of the ANC’s many foreign supporters, not least those in the United States, helps to explain the 

speed and the savage brutality of the reaction. 

On 16 th August, 6 days into the strike, the police opened fire injuring 112 and killing 34. Local witnesses 

claim the workers were not charging at the police but were fleeing from them as tear gas was thrown at 

them by another police detachment. Autopsy reports apparently confirm many were shot in the back. 

At the time Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa, was in Mozambique at an SADC meeting. He 

returned to South Africa but only one day later. He visited Marikana briefly but stayed away from the 

main area. A full five days passed and only then did he return and visit the crime scene. On the day of the 

attack Ian Farmer, the CEO of Lonmin, was diagnosed with a “serious illness” and still has not returned 

to work. A few days later the 270 men who were arrested were charged with committing murder. They 

allege that they were stripped in their cells and beaten with sticks. Once an international outcry began 

and it became apparent that the publicity of a trial could be counterproductive, they were quickly 

released. 

Even with the above illumination, some crucial questions still remain. How could Cyril Ramaphosa 

exercise such influence over Lonmin’s Executive Board to be able to effectively bend it, and potentially 

the Board of Xstrata too, to do his bidding? And what truth could the South African government have 

been so desperate to hide that it was judged better to risk everything and open fire on its own people, 

rather than let it see the light? 

The answer lies at the heart of the bitter fallacy of the South African commodities boom and the emerging 

markets paradigm which we have lived in the last 15 years. The sad truth is that nothing has changed, or, 


5

more accurately, nothing has improved. In the past there was one oligarch, Harry Oppenheimer, who 

controlled Anglo American. Mr Oppenheimer officially opposed the apartheid regime and was a liberal 

but conveniently continued to export gold and diamonds from South Africa up to and beyond 1994. 

Today there are five to ten oligarchs. They are black and they are African. They too oppose apartheid 

and they too are exporting all of South Africa’s gold and diamonds at the present time. The reason Cyril 

Ramaphosa could ransack Lonmin in the way he has is because he effectively is Lonmin. Lonmin exists in 

many ways to serve his interests and its foreign shareholders would do well to understand this. The whole 

debate about nationalisation is therefore completely moot. South Africa’s mines have already been 

nationalised and given over to a ruthless tyranny, signed, sealed and delivered by the many cheerleaders 

of the ANC overseas. 

So what will happen next? In fact the next Marikana has already occurred. Tear gas was fired and four 

workers were shot two days ago on a gold property near Johannesburg controlled by another oligarch, 

Tokyo Sexwale. The strategy of the ANC’s opposition, which is correct given the extent of the 

disenfranchisement since 1994, will be to now target every oligarch. It will be demanded that they return 

much of what was taken. But this will never be done voluntarily and so this conflict, just like the 

apartheid struggle, will go on for many years. Will this really be the lasting legacy of the post-apartheid 

era? Is this what Nelson Mandela’s years in prison, Bill and Hillary Clinton’s ringing endorsements, Bob 

Geldof’s concerts and Bono’s songs were meant to bring to us? Will they all now leave the world in 

darkness, with a set of fearful problems for a future generation to sort out? We will have to hope for the 

best but prepare for the worst.

We are Rich!!!!! 

White South Africans have reacted with amazement and joy to Julius Malema's revelation last week that 

they are all super-rich mine owners. "We thought we were just over-indebted, over-taxed middle-class 

wage slaves, but it turns out we're all millionaire tycoons!" said one delighted white person. "Screw this 

soul-crushing desk job: I'm off to claim my mine!" 

Malema, former President of the ANC Youth League and current President of the League Of 

Opportunistic Political Parasites (read assholes), has been vocal in his claims that the country's mines are 

still owned by "boere", and that all whites are fabulously wealthy, mostly thanks to the mining industry. 

This morning the country's white citizens were resigning en masse from office jobs, schools, small 

businesses and middle-management posts, as news spread about their previously unknown wealth.

"I'm so grateful to Julius," gushed Barry Beige. "If he hadn't done the research, crunched the numbers 

over who owns what, I would never have discovered that I am in fact a super-rich capitalist and not a 

junior web designer with 20 days of leave per year." 

However, farmer Kosie Kunsmis said he was confused. "Julius said that 'boere' own all the mines. Does 

he mean farmers or white people, because I know fokkol about mining. Come to think of it, I know fokkol 

about farming too, but at least my family have known fokkol about it for ten generations, so we've 

managed to be consistent." 

Malema's revelations have also unsettled South Africa's black mine owners, with many now wondering 

whether they are in fact white. 

"Julius has been pretty clear that black people don't own mines," said platinum magnate, Nouveau 

Riche-Romotswe, adding that she has been checking herself daily for signs of whiteness, such as a love of 

dogs and cats, and a deeply rooted belief that everything was about to go to shit. 

"It's really confusing because I've always had a soft spot for pets, and since Zuma came to power I've 

believed that everything is about to go to shit, so does that mean I've been a closet white all along? I just 

don't know any more." 

Meanwhile, South Africa's small group of whites who were super-rich before Malema's revelations are 

set to lodge a complaint against him for turning the spotlight on their wealth. 

"The blighter has gone completely off the script," explained someone who is too rich to have a name. 

"The way it's supposed to go is that we pay the politicians to keep us invisible, the politicians keep the 

workers uneducated so they're easily manipulated, and then we wait until they're so poor that they'll 

work 16 hours a day for a potato. 

"But all this talk of our money, well, it's just not cricket." 

It would appear that the source of Malema’s wealth has now been revealed, namely the payments made to 

him by these “oligarch’s” who pay Malema to mislead the masses with his lies and rhetoric against the 

whites of this country. Shame on them!

A General was interviewed on the radio recently by a female reporter who interviewed 

him concerning guns and children and the fact that the General was about to sponsor 

a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military Headquarters. 

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach 

these young boys when they visit your base? 

GENERAL COSGROVE: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and 

shooting. 

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it? 

GENERAL COSGROVE: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle 

range. 

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to 

be teaching children? 

GENERAL COSGROVE: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle 

discipline before they even touch a firearm. 

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. 

GENERAL COSGROVE: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not 

one, are you? 

The radio cast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was 

over. 

I've just fitted strobe lights in the bedroom. . . . . 

It makes the wife look like she's moving during sex.

GOLFER AT THE DENTIST 

A man and his wife walked into a dentist's office. The man said to the dentist, "Doc, 

I'm in one heck of a hurry, I have two buddies sitting out in my car waiting for us to 

go play golf, so forget about the anaesthetic, I don't have time for the gums to get 

numb. I just want you to pull the tooth, and be done with it! We have a 10:00 tee time 

at the best golf course in town and it's 09:30 already ... I don't have time to wait for 

the anaesthetic to work! 

The dentist thought to himself, "My goodness, this is surely a very brave man asking 

to have his tooth pulled without using anything to kill the pain." So the dentist asks 

him, "Which tooth is it sir?" 

The man turned to his wife and said, "Open your mouth Honey, and show him 

I saw a car in London with a bumper sticker... “Ek mis Suid-Afrika” 

So I broke the window, stole the radio and laptop, and left a note that 

said...“Voel jy nou beter?” 

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days 

interesting. Well, for example, the other day, Jeanie my wife and I went into town and 

visited a shop. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. 

We went up to him and I said, 'Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a 

break?' He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him an a--hole. He 

glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires. So Bev 

called him a s--t head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with 

the first. Then he started writing more tickets. This went on for about 20 minutes. The 

more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. Just then our bus arrived, and we got 

on it and went home. We weren't too concerned about the vehicle's owner because of 

the sticker on the back window “I support Julius Malema". 

We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age.

The war against Woolworths 


By Dan Roodt 

Something extraordinary is happening in South Africa. Perhaps for the first time since the 

days of our much-loved and brutally assassinated leader Hendrik Verwoerd who managed to 

rally both Afrikaners and English-speakers behind him, against the British Commonwealth, the 

UN and all comers, white South Africans are united in their opposition to an upmarket 

supermarket chain, Woolworths. 

You could call it WAR – Whites Against Racism. Since 1994, South Africa has become the 

country in the world, apart from Zimbabwe, where anti-white racism has been pushed to its 

absurdist extremes. Woolworths, like many big corporations, have taken to advertising jobs 

with the proudly stated proviso: “Whites need not apply.” Of course it is not put as bluntly as 

that, and couched in the Orwellian weirdness of ANC newspeak like “employment equity”, 

abbreviated as EE, or the more sinister “transformation”, but the meaning is the same. 

PRAAG has been parrying with Woolworths about their arrogant anti-Afrikaans language 

policy since at least 2005. In South Africa as in some other places, “Afrikaans” is often a 

metaphor for “white”. Only whites care about the survival of Afrikaans culture, so being anti- 

Afrikaans or punishing Afrikaans is often a way of “getting the whites back”. When a white 

Jew was killed on 16 June 1976 in Soweto, it was done in the name of the rejection of 

Afrikaans. That is also why Afrikaans place and street names are being eradicated all over our 

country, even in the opposition stronghold of Cape Town and the Western Cape Province. The 

more nauseatingly liberal a minority of South African whites become, the more disdainful of 

our language they tend to be. 

As a result PRAAG members have not been buying at Woolworths for some years now. So 

when I saw in the early hours of Tuesday morning that the Cape-based chain had recently 

placed race-exclusive ads for jobs, I immediately issued a renewed call for a boycott of 

Woolworths. 

Since then, it has spread like wildfire. Whereas the ANC‟s revolutionary takeover of our society 

has led to very conformist, left-wing, politically correct media – whether state-owned or private 

– the internet and social media have become the joyous outlet of white frustrations and 

intellectual ferment. Thanks to Facebook and Twitter, the news of the Woolworths boycott 

spread like wildfire. 

Why now? Why Woolworths and not Pick „n Pay or Checkers or Game or any of the other 

supermarket chains who all practise anti-white racism in some or other way? That was also 

the question that Woolworths‟s communications manager asked me a few years ago. I told her 

that most of the other chains still had an Afrikaans sign here and there, or announcements in 

Afrikaans, or one or two whites on their staff. However, Woolworths has gone “all the way” in 

killing Afrikaans off totally and adopting an extremist and arrogantly anti-white stance in 

hiring. 

What makes Woolworths‟s policy so incongruous is that they are actually biting the hand that 

feeds them. Apparently 79% of the upmarket chain‟s clientele is white! But alienating one‟s 

16

customers is not totally foreign to South Africa‟s corporate giants who consider their 

relationship with the black government to be far more important than being in tune with the 

people who queue up in front of their cash registers. The media group Naspers, which was 

once an Afrikaner company, our “National Press”, has recently become the purveyor of 

unethical sleaze journalism and a kind of Schadenfreude directed at their own readers or 

viewers. The more we get killed, raped and robbed, the more anti-white laws roll off the ANC 

government‟s conveyor belt, the more jubilant Naspers‟s moronic liberal pundits become. 

Woolworths is the last straw, in a sense. It is part the company‟s fault, part coincidence that it 

has triggered a sudden onset of white solidarity, a coalescence of what I called the other night 

on Radio 702 „the downtrodden, apathetic minority” who until now has been ostensibly 

content to endure whatever violence, injustice or insult this crazy system could hurl at it. The 

Woolworths boycott could have far-reaching political consequences. After all, if whites could 

manage to boycott their favourite store, dispensing TV dinners and expensively branded fruit 

and veggies, as well as department store clothes, they could perhaps start boycotting 

elections, taxes, electricity payments, who knows what? 

Middle-class whites in this country, including the two million real taxpayers who provide the 

state budget which the black Louis XVIs and Marie-Antoinettes spend like their God-given due, 

probably work harder than any other white population in the world. They keep the machine 

going: they fix the computers and the networks, they fight tooth and nail in the law courts, 

they balance the accounts, they plant at the beginning of the new season, they design, plan 

and project manage new buildings and developments. Take them out of the equation and you 

have a Zimbabwe, an Angola (but without the oil), a Tanzania or some African country in need 

of “infrastructure and development”. Or maybe even food aid. 

At my children‟s‟ Afrikaans government school, they have a chant called the “Blou masjien”, 

the blue machine. I am often amazed to see those young, healthy, robust white children go into 

a circle on the sports field, hugging each other and screaming their lungs out. Woolworths and 

its politically correct management have just alienated and insulted a far bigger grouping: the 

white machine. The company down in Cape Town is some provincial English side, visiting our 

country, and we are the Springbok rugby team of old – without quota players. 

Mark my words, Woolworths; we are going to thrash you. We are going to close you down. Not 

only Checkers and Pick „n Pay, but the whole world will take notice. We are going to eat you 

for breakfast without any of your products and then we are going to spit you out and look for 

the next target. 

We have had it up to here with EE and BEE and AA and transformation and all the other 

euphemisms for the Faustian pact that you corporate moguls have made with this vile and 

venal regime. 

We are gatvol. If you at Woolworths do not understand that word, look it up in a dictionary. 

As Woolworths hates everything Afrikaans or really South African, please also remove all 

Afrikaans words from your packaging. I am talking about koeksister, biltong, droëwors, 

Boerewors, nartjie, malvapoeding, bobotie, sosaties and every other word or product that 

might be mistaken for having anything to do with white Afrikaners. 

Do you get the message; you bunch of politically correct Quislings? We do not want anything 


17

to do with you, ever again! 

Hey a guy isn‟t this fun, it‟s our turn to protest against racism and all we have to do is vote 

with our feet and our wallets. There is no product at Woollies that you can‟t get elsewhere. In 

King Williams Town they have absolutely no white customers left and the shop is very quiet all 

of the time. I know we all have various political ideology‟s and we should not even discuss 

them, but in the light of what is happening in our country it is time for us to stand together and 

not support racist companies at all. At least when we protest we don‟t take off work, threaten 

and do violence, dance badly and destroy other people‟s property, we merely shop elsewhere. 

Ken. 

Woolworths!
