An Investigation into the Impact of the Economic Ties Between South Africa and Russia...

 An Investigation into the Impact of the Economic Ties Between South Africa and

Russia as BRICS Countries
97
Mbeki in Cape Town stated that one Russian company intends to invest more than $1
billion in South Africa’s economy. Putin also indicated another company was ready
to help South Africa to develop electricity and build an aluminium plant. Although
South African companies, such as fruit producers and brewer SAB/Miller, which
produces several popular brands of beer at a plant in central Russia, have made inroads
into the Russian market, the Kremlin believes trade could be significantly increased
from the 2005 figure of $171 million.
Russia and South Africa agreed to develop cooperation in the energy and
transportation sectors, the defence and aerospace industry, the fishing industry,
healthcare, culture, sports and tourism. Speaking about cooperation in the energy
sector, President Putin suggested that Russia “will supply South Africa with nuclear
fuel”. An agreement was signed on supplying Russian nuclear power plant until 2010
[6].
Three other documents were signed in the presence of the two presidents after
their talks in Cape Town. The head of the Russian Space Agency and the South
African minister of science and technology signed an intergovernmental agreement on
cooperation in civilian space. President Mbeki told the press conference that a South
African micro-satellite would be launched.
Officials from the Russian and South African health minister signed a
bilateral agreement on cooperation in healthcare and the medical sciences. The
Russian justice minister and the South African defence minister signed an
intergovernmental agreement on the protection of intellectual property rights in
military-technical cooperation. Furthermore, the group of businessmen accompanying
Putin included Viktor Vekselberg, the head of the Renova Group and one of Russia’s
richest men, Alexander Nichiporuk, the president of diamond giant Alrosa, as well as
Igor Makarov, the head of the Russia’s largest independent natural gas producer,
Novatek.
Materials and Methods
This study uses mixed methods namely a survey and interviews in
establishing what is going on between South Africa and Russia in the BRICS. Twenty
people participated in the survey and the interviews altogether. They were selected
purposively as the study is designed predominantly as a qualitative research. The
survey was just another mean of getting some additional information whereas the
profound interviews were in depth and open-ended in many instances. They were semi
structured, and allowed dichotomous, biographical, and other types of questions to be
asked to participants. Questionnaires were administered to a selected citizen of South
Africa to determine their views about the effects of diplomatic ties between South
Africa and Russia as BRICS member countries. Both men and women took part in the
survey and the interviews. All participants were conversant in English. Prior to the
main study, a pilot study was conducted to allow the rewording of questions.

CAN WE TRUST THE WORD OF GOD?

                 
                CAN WE TRUST THE WORD OF GOD?



In life today, we are living by ignorance because we are all pretenders.We pretend to know; to understand; to live and die by the word of God. Sometimes, we want to do too much than just follow Jesus’s principles. We confuse God. The question that comes to mind is, “Why are we doing the things we are doing?”, “Do we not trust the word of God that we resort to other things – earthly things?”

Ignorance in the context of the church means failing to commit to prayer times; not teaching their
children the value of worshiping God; not being honest with themselves; wanting to please the Pastor or Bishop. Hurting each other with deeds and words as well as failing to the truth are best examples of how ignorance rules the lives of the members of the church.


Besides, we have so many opportunities to work for our mighty God. He has given all of us, to each and everyone,a proper time to worship – to praise and glorify His name. Time wasted will never come back. It will never return. Be wise.The Bible has recommended that we be wise at all times. Therefore, wake up and shake that IGNORANCE off. Yeah, people today are in the business of consuming wrong perceptions. Everywhere you go people in their social life are consumed with the desire to get money, by hook or crook.

Yeah, there are so many crooks even in the church of God. People do not want to earn decent living by being honest. They want to steal from God. In society, we hear stories about commissions of inquiry – investigations into the wrong-doing by people in suits.

However, at the Baptist Church, we have been blessed!Pastor Peter John Cornelius and his team – all men and women of God – take care of people both spiritually and financially. They convince the pagan to Christian. This team is implementing the mission of the church – to transform people’s lives; to save souls; to protect ordinary people from IGNORANCE.

John 3:16 speaks of the power of love that our powerful God has given to us his beloved son in order for all of us to be saved from the sin. The Claremont Baptist Church is now a great place whereby the word of God is preached with sincerity, and the greatest of honesty. There is no doubt in the minds of his believers in Cape Town that Reverend Pastor Peter John Cornelius has received an extremely powerful gift. He continues to share with us his gift from Heaven. He is honest and sincere in every word he is uttering when he preaches.

Some people in this world believe that being a Christian is waste of time. They say,“Christians are poorer than pagans”. Yes, there are pastors that we see on television screens every day that are millionaires.But the truth is you cannot buy the word of God. It is not for sale. It does not matter how rich you are; how many millions you have; if you do not live and die by the word of God your life is meaningless. You are forever in pain – the pain of IGNORANCE.

The Bible says, “What shall profit the man to gain the world and loose his soul?”In order to survive on earth, we need to work and earn decent salaries. We are talking about clean money. Well-deserved money. Not stolen money. No blood must be shed before we earn our living. That is not Godly ways. The word of God is more than money!

The pagans can boost as much as they like. The angels in Heaven won’t open the gates them. They will rot in hell. Money cannot by you love. Money cannot buy you happiness. Money cannot buy you salvation. Money will be left behind during the D-Day. All your riches will mean nothing during the last day. But praise and worship will you allow to enter the Heavens and eat with Angels and their God, your God.

Already, if you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior,your suffering will be no more. For the no-believers Sunday is the day of enjoyment; the day of spending time drinking alcohol and feasting with pagan friends. For us, Christians, Sunday is the day of our Lord.It is a special day to recognize the work God has done for us during the week. We say, “Thank you Dear Lord”. Thank you for giving seven days to do our work. Thank you for giving a gift of life. Thank you for giving energy, mind and spirit. We do not need to drink beer or whisky to gain spirit. Our spirit in the Bible: it is not in the bottle. Ours is in the prayer. Ours is in rejoicing with the Lord. Ours is in praise and worship.

The Bible declares in Acts 19:12 and Mark 16:17 the power of healing.Here, we read about healing and deliverance. Jesus Christ used to heal, bless and deliver the people who believed in his power. Nowadays, those powers are transferred to the man of God,Reverend Pastor Peter John Cornelius and his humble team. They have a power of the true God. Reverend Pastor Peter is healing some people spiritually. This means he changes a no believer to be a born-again. He is also helping others financially and even physically. It is a gift from God.

Healing is for people who have faith in the power of the universe. Coping with physical challenge and leading a healthy long life means our Lord is in your life. Refer to Romans 10:17 in the Bible. You will learn more about deliverance.If there is a lack of peace in your families, Reverend Pastor Peter John Cornelius is there for you.

Refer to 1 Corinthians 13:13 speaks of faith hope and love. But the greatest of them all is love. At Baptist Church, love is shared by helping out the community. Somewhere out there, there is someone in need. The church has a responsibility to discover those people. Each and every month, people received some package of foods. When are together, even in camping, during sports day, we share stories of love, stories of faith and stories of hope. Even the Bible says this, “it is better to help people who are in need”. 

All in all, in many ways, life today is far more riskier than in the past. Yet people find it difficult to commit themselves to the church.  People must know that with every risk there are consequences. The Baptist Church can help you deal with the consequences, and can help you to avoid risk. The church through its leadership, its prayer and its power of healing, it can save your life. For sure, God has transferred some powers to Pastor Peter Cornelius and his team to do what God wanted for His people.  Say thanks to Him for giving a wonderful gift to Pastor Peter John. In fact, say “Thank you Lord, oh God for giving me life”. 

Say “Thank you” for protecting me against the pagans and their pangas. Please, repent. Reverend Pastor Peter John Cornelius wants to reach all of us,during the services, so that you can get access to God’s blessings. We need to trust in the word of God. The doors of the Baptist Church are open for everyone. Come and claim your prize. The prize of repentance and the Glory of God is for you and your family. Humble yourself, kneel down and pray: you are going to be raised even higher.

Be blessed.

 LA POLITIQUE EN RDC FAIT PEUR 


la politique en Rdc seme une confusion totale  tant qu'au niveau national et ainsi qu'un international compte-tenu du retard gouvernemental consomme, qui a ete prevu 100 jours apres les elections presidentielles qui ont date depuis Decembre de l'annee ecoulee cad plus de 7 mois.


 De tout ce qui precede, l'appareil judiciaire au Congo RDC semblerait accepter des betises afin de faire retomber le pays dans un autre chaos, lequel chaos risquerait de faire appel a une autre guerre civile ou bien une nouvelle rebellion. Plus loin encore, beaucoup de reunions se font multiplier, helas! aucune solution entre les poids lourds en politique tirre le fait afin de trancher le dit probleme qui ravage le pays entier...

Pour les Congolais de la RDC, en ce qui concerne, la situation politique ca a ete chaotique dans la mesure ou pas mal de personnes ont perdu leurs vies dans les differents domaines. Cela, a cause un fleau a la population Congolaise qui ne cesse point de reclamer leur liberte etouffee par le gouvernement dans tous les domaines.
