This article will outline:
- Maria Ramos Resume
- Trevor Manuel Resume
- The National Development Plan (NDP)
Root Years:
- 2010: 2009 - 2009, Mthetwa leaves Minister of Safety and Security
- 2010 - World Cup, shady business deals, shady business men
- 2011 - Investigations, business rescue proCeedings introduced to S.A. CR171 meeting in NASREC. Minister of police was Mthetwa since 2009 - 2014
- The year of Thabo Bester trying to lure my sister
- Same incident where mom's laptop was stolen. It had evidence of all the mining licenses.
- 2012 - Trevor Manuel’s National Development Plan introduced (after a two-year consultation process)
- The Madlanga Commission statements alluding to te years 2011, referencing the Word Cup among other cases
- Johann Niemoller attempts at the chrome mine to which mom was advised against 2011. He is also caught with chrome-loaded trucks in 2016, stealing chrome essentially
I also want to note the list of Commissions in South Africa:
- Inquiry into Project Spiderweb (Manuel) 2015* (see Project Grapevine)
- The Marikana. Commission (mineworkers of platinum mine in 2012)
- The Nungent Commission (SARS)
- State Zondo capture commission (state owned enterprises)
- Madlanga Commission (2025)
I will get into these and weave them together to make the connections.
- When fleeing to Stellenbosch, thinking it was a quite town, we could NEVER stay there long. A booking was canceled, we'd run from there and been followed. It was actually one of the more ominous places. If mom wasn't driving, I was. And one night, it was really bad. We were on the highway running from a vehicle following us. That's the night I decided I hated Stellenbosch. But what sealed it was an a cold unwelcome at a small shopping center we thought we'd have coffee at one morning - after a rough night. The vibe was completely off. We barely left the vehicle and it seemed patrons knew we were there. I think that was my first feeling of being gang-stalked - not aware of the term the time. My memory of this is slightly murky, but the feeling - visceral.
- 2016 - We run to Cape Town all over the towns, followed by helicopters. A specific Airbnb we ran to was hosted by a colored man. It was a self-check-in. The apartment was in a tall building and to enter it, you go through the shopping center where Pik ''n Pay was the main store. After parking in the underground parking lot, you walk and coma across a bakery. You keep walking and before you get to the grocer, on the right, was an entrance to the residences up the escalator. One day, my mom comes into the car, panicking. I'm confused. She talks about seeing Trevor Manuel and how she was trying to hide from him; getting a sense that he was looking for her.
- Rupert once stated in an article that Trevor Manuel's father worked for his father, Anton Rupert when he was a boy. This implies deep connection to Manuel from his youth. This also implies that his future was carved out for him, as if for a 30-year blueprint
- The National Development Plan was drafted with Manuel in the driver's seat and Ramaphosa by his side.
These two characters are a significant piece of the corruption puzzle. Both were placed in certain positions both in the public and private sectors during key timeframes and seemed to have restructured the entire country in the last two decades. In fact, after dratfing this article, I drew up a timeline to make sense of it.
