“We received the consignment of some six million masks and shields donated by Naspers, and many more are still to come.

Naspers Group bought the PPEs and other medical supplies at great speed through its logistics and warehousing capability in Takealot and the group’s Tencent enterprise in the People’s Republic of China.

We are truly grateful that we have corporations like Naspers and many others, who have decided they are going to lend a hand and assist our whole eﬀort of ﬁghting COVID-19. “We are also grateful to China for continuing to supply these medical supplies that

While visiting the Takealot Distribution Centre to receive the medical supplies, President Ramaphosa was taken through a state-of-the art, high-tech distribution process of the PPE to various parts of the country.

“I have also been very impressed with their logistical set up here, where they receive these millions of medical supplies and they are able to distribute them throughout the country in an orderly manner. “This is really a great operation and we are thankful for the donation that the country has received from Naspers and facilitated also by China,” said the President.

Sedibeng Mayor pay tribute to late struggle hero Prof. Denis Goldberg

The executive mayor of Sedibeng District Municipality, Cllr Busi Modisakeng has joined Mznasi in paying tribute to the late Professor Denis Theodore Goldberg.

Female passenger killed truck crash! One person has lost their life while two are in critical condition when two trucks collided in Boksburg on Tuesday, May 5.

The female passenger died while under medical treatment on scene while the driver and the other male passenger were hospitalised in critical trauma conditions. The incident happened near the intersection of R554 and Trichardt roads, Windmill Park south of Ekurhuleni. “Emergency Services rescue teams, both from Boksburg central and Vosloorus ﬁre stations, promptly responded to the scene for intervention. On assessment, three patients were accounted for and all were found still trapped inside the cab of one of the trucks,” said the City’s emergency department. Specialised Hydraulic Rescue Tools (Jaws of Life) had to be used to free and recover the injured from the wreckage. The driver of the second truck

escaped with no injuries.

“Paramedics rendered medical treatment to all patients and unfortunately, the female patient succumbed her life because of intense upper body and head injuries sustained and was declared deceased on scene,” confirmed spokesperson William Ntladi. The other two male patients who sustained critical head and chest injuries, had to flown to Union hospital by two medical choppers for further medical care. The road had to be closed for the entire duration of the rescue operations. According to Ntladi, both trucks were driving in the same lane prior to the crash. The truck from behind, drove into the rear of the articulate truck which was approaching and stopping at the red traffic light. The scene was then handed over to the Ekurhuleni Metro police for further investigations.

SOLDIER CAUGHT DRUNK DRIVING

The suspect was caught at the N3 freeway Toll-Gate in Heidelberg. Joining law enforcement oﬃcials on the roadblock was Gauteng Treasury MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko, who witnessed the incident. "The law will take its course without fear or favour," tweeted the Department of Community Safety.

Professor Goldberg, who lived in Hout Bay, Cape Town, passed away on 29 April at the age of 87. “Prof Denis was and still remains a treasure of lessons on unity, Ubuntu, freedom, democracy and transformation for the world and South Africa, particularly to citizens of Sedibeng,” said the mayor.

measurable. Goldberg later received a National Order for his commitment to the struggle against apartheid and service to the people of South Africa. In 2016, the Sedibeng District Municipality awarded the highest recognition in the area called the ‘Freedom of the District Award’ (along with fellow Rivonia trialist Andrew Mlangeni). This was a celebration of his selﬂess dedication to the people of Sedibeng and the country.

The life and times of a revolutionary Born in Cape Town in 1933, Goldberg grew up in an intellectual family and became acutely aware of national, as well as international politics at an early age. In the early 1950s, Goldberg joined the Congress of Democrats and the Communist Party underground. His keen sense of justice prompted him early on in life to ﬁght injustices of this country. In 1963, Goldberg was arrested at the Rivonia Headquarters of uMkhonto weSizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress. He was sentenced in 1964, at the end of the Rivonia trial, to four terms of life imprisonment. He was the only white member of MK to be arrested and sentenced in the Rivonia Trial. In 1985, after 22 years of imprisonment, he was set free and reunited with his family in London, where he continued to work for the ANC. His contribution towards South Africa’s ﬁrst democracy is im-

“Prof Goldberg’s selﬂess services must continue inspiring all of us to relentlessly ﬁght for justice, freedom, women and children empowerment during and post COVID-19. He leaves us with a legacy and great vision to achieve more well-being for the people of our region. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Hamba Kahle, Seaparankwe Comrade Denis Goldberg,” said the mayor. President Cyril Ramaphosa also conveyed his condolences following the passing of Goldberg. “My thoughts are with Denis Goldberg’s family and his comrades around the country and around the world. This is a sad moment for our nation and a moment for all of us to appreciate Denis Goldberg’s brave dedication to our struggle and his lifelong activism in the interest of – and in the physical presence of – poor and vulnerable communities around our country,” said the President. “We will hold him in our thoughts and prayers as we say farewell at a time when we are not allowed to gather in numbers to say our goodbyes. May his soul rest in peace,” he said.

AU in talks with Madagascar over COVID-19 herbal remedy

The African Union is in discussion with the Republic of Madagascar, with a view to obtain technical data regarding the safety and efficiency of a herbal remedy, recently announced by Madagascar for the reported prevention and treatment of COVID19. In this regard, the AU Commissioner for Social Affairs, Amira ElFadil, convened a meeting with the Chargé d'Affaires of the Republic of Madagascar Mr. Eric Randrianantoandro on 30th April. In the meeting, it was agreed that the country would furnish the African Union with necessary details regarding the herbal remedy.

Once furnished with the details, the Union, through the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), will review the scientific data gathered so far on the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 Organics. This review will be based on global technical and ethical norms to garner the necessary scientific evidence regarding the performance of the tonic.

Athletes and sport federations get COVID-19 relief funds!

The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture’s COVID-19 Relief Fund has come to the rescue of 293 ﬁnancially distressed athletes, Minister Nathi Mthethwa announced on Monday (May 4). This comes after a R150 million Relief Fund was announced to assist artists, athletes, technical personnel and the core ecosystem of the sector. The sport adjudication process began on 9 April. The deadline for application to the Relief Fund was 6 April. Subsequent to this, independent adjudication committees were appointed to oversee the process. After President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a national state of disaster on 15 March, the department held a consultative meeting with the sport and creative sector. Addressing reporters, Mthethwa said: “The other part of this

fund was open to proposals for livestreaming the work of creatives and athletes, particularly, intergenerational cooperation between younger artists and the legends.” The 293 successful athletes are from Boxing SA (47), athletics (86), canoeing (2), equestrian (21), fencing (7), golf (70), gymnastics (3), netball (8), football (17), SA National Boxing Organisation (4), those with disability (15), surﬁng (5), tennis (2) and triathlon (5). The Minister said the processing of the funds was largely through the relevant federations but payment was made directly by government. Each athlete, he said, was entitled to a claim capped at R20 000. “On the 23rd of April, more than 300 applications were received and the disimbursement of relief funds to succesful applicants

began. On 24 April, 93 successful applicants received their relief funds.” After re-submission of applications were referred back to the federations, Mthethwa said a total (aggregate) of 473 applications were received from 25 sporting federations. “We made a point at the time that the sector is going to be the hardest hit by the pandemic since the necessary measures to curb the spread of the virus were detrimental to the sector,” said Mthethwa. The sport adjudicators, by April 23, had received 300 applications. The disbursement of funds to successful applications began the following day. Mthethwa said the department was concerned by the large number of declined applications. “We are concerned that a number of people did not succeed. These applications come from

historically disadvantaged backgrounds. We need to do due diligent to adhere with criteria agreed upon. We are thinking that we need to do something to ensure that people who need this assistance get it,” said the Minister. Reasons for declined funding applications included applications missing documents and no proof of event cancellation.
