Churches across Sierra Leone held special services yesterday in memory of the dead.

The Inter-Religious Council called for the services.

Special prayers and recitals were offered in mosques on Friday and churches yesterday for finding survivors, including by the preacher at Buxton Memorial Methodist Church in Freetown, the capital.

In the DRC the death toll has risen to 200 in the landslide on Thursday in three villages in Ituri province in the north-eastern of the central African country.

Keta called for international mobilisation to help the hundreds of homeless men, women and children without food.

Fedele said she had contacted Air Kenya to fly the donations for free, if a large enough donation of goods was collected. She had also contacted DHL and FedEx. Her request to Air Kenya came after the Gift of the Givers relief organisation had declined to become involved in ferrying the donations to Sierra Leone, she said.

Mugabe’s immunity may be reviewed

3 suspected cannibals arrested for murder

THE political fallout over the granting of diplomatic immunity to Grace Mugabe has led to civil society groups and opposition parties pushing for a review of the decision in the High Court.

The DA and AfriForum said yesterday Grace Mugabe will not be let off the hook after she flew back to Harare on Saturday evening with her husband, President Robert Mugabe, after she was granted diplomatic immunity by the South African government.

AfriForum’s legal representative Willie Spies said Mugabe’s departure was not the end of the story.

Portfolio committee on international relations chairperson Siphosezwe Masango said they will discuss the matter in the ANC study group tomorrow.

“They haven’t had time to discuss it. Tomorrow’s meeting should come up with a decision.”

AfriForum chief executive Kallie Kriel said they will

launch a review application of the decision to grant Grace diplomatic immunity. “If the review application is successful (and there are very good grounds to believe it will be) the doors will be open for the National Prosecuting Authrity to prosecute Mrs Mugabe.”

If the NPA refuses to prosecute Mugabe AfriForum’s private prosecution unit will begin with a private one.

The DA said Parliament must institute a full-scale inquiry.

Chief whip John Steenhuisen said the party wanted all the ministers involved in granting Grace diplomatic immunity to be hauled before the inquiry.

It was inexplicable how the government allowed Mugabe to leave the country, he said.

It did exactly the same when it allowed Sudan President Omar al-Bashir to leave the country when there was an international arrest warrant out for him.

Somadoda Fikeni of Unisa said this would have implications for the government, and if Mugabe would be able to return to South Africa. “It will depend

GRACE MUGABE how the two countries handled the matter. If it leads to court cases that will complicate the situation. But if she successfully challenges the case she will still be coming back.”

Fikeni said this would not make things easy for the Zimbabwe government in how it deals with the situation. South Africa has strong trade ties with Zimbabwe.

SAA also confirmed planes started operating between the two countries yesterday after the weekend stand-off. An SAA airline was detained in Zimbabwe while an Air Zimbabwe flight was cancelled at OR Tambo International Airport.

Police spokesperson Vish Naidoo could not be reached for comment and he did not respond to text messages.

THREE suspected cannibals have been arrested in the rural KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.

Apparently one walked into the Estcourt police station on Friday night, told the officers on duty he was “tired of eating human flesh” and subsequently produced part of a human leg and a hand.

It is understood that investigations led police to a house in nearby Rensburgdrift, where more human remains were found.

The man who had gone to the police station was arrested.

A second suspect was arrested in Estcourt and a third suspect – thought to be an inyanga – was arrested in the Amangwe area. The three are all in their thirties.

They allegedly killed a woman, cut her up and ate parts of her body.

Police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbhele yesterday confirmed the men were arrested on charges relating to murder and cannibalism.

She said they would appear in the Estcourt Magistrate’s Court today.

The former head of the SAPS specialised investigative psychology section, Professor Gérard Labuschagne, said it was unlikely this was a muti-related crime.

“It’s rare and unusual to get a case where people are actually eating human body parts – animal bites are often mistaken for human bites. But when people are eating human body parts, it’s more likely to do with a mental health issue.”

Labuschagne said people who ate human body parts were often in the throes of psychotic episodes at the time. “They are usually experiencing audio and/or visual hallucinations and having bizarre thoughts like: ‘I must eat this body part, it will make me powerful’.”

Labuschagne said the suggestion that this was a group crime was strange. “You do sometimes get a group of people, where one is mentally ill and his followers have dependency issues. It’s very rare though.”

Fedele’s request was declined as the disaster was relatively small in comparison with other much bigger tragedies in the world.

“That kind of disaster a country can normally cope with. And if a country finds it difficult to cope, neighbouring countries should be able to minimise the disaster quite easily,” Sooliman said.

When the Department of International Relations and Co-operation spokesperson Clayson Monyela was asked yesterday what the South African government was doing to assist in the aftermath of the mudslide and landslide, he said they would announce a comprehensive package of assist-

Last month Fedele had offered a reward of R10 000 for information on the killing of her former pupil, Siyamthanda Betana, 19, on July 20 in protests in Imizamo Yethu.

Because police on their own arrested three suspects, the reward was donated to Hout Bay’s Community Policing Forum.

Nigeria’s Buhari back from London hospital

Iraqi forces prepare to retake IS stronghold

ABUJA: A jubilant crowd welcomed Nigerian leader Muhammadu Buhari to the capital Abuja on Saturday, after his “medical vacation” in London for more than three months.

Buhari was received by his vicepresident, Yemi Osinbajo, who was acting president while he was away.

The president left the country on May 7, after handing over power.

The 74-year-old Nigerian leader received the latest medical attention two months after his return from a similar medical vacation.

Buhari, a retired army general, had told his hospital visitors that there had been a tremendous improvement in his health, but that he had learnt to obey doctors’ orders, rather than be the one issuing the orders. “I felt I could go home, but the doctors are in charge,” he said. – Xinhua

BAGHDAD/ERBIL: Iraqi security forces launched an offensive to take back the city of Tal Afar yesterday, their next objective in the US-backed campaign to defeat Islamic State militants, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said.

“You either surrender, or die,” Abadi said in a televised speech announcing the offensive, addressing the militants.

A longtime stronghold of hard-

line Sunni Muslim insurgents, Tal Afar, 80km west of Mosul, experienced cycles of sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shias after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, and has produced some of Islamic State’s most senior commanders.

The city was cut off from the rest of Islamic State-held territory in June. It is surrounded by Iraqi government troops and Shia volunteers in the south, and Kurdish

Peshmerga fighters in the north.

Hours before Abadi’s announcement, the Iraqi air force dropped leaflets over the city telling the population to take precautions. “Prepare yourself, the battle is imminent and the victory is coming, God willing,” the leaflets read.

About 2 000 battle-hardened militants remain in the city, US and Iraqi military commanders said.

They are expected to put up a

tough fight, even though intelligence from inside the city indicates they have been exhausted by months of combat, aerial bombardments, and by the lack of fresh supplies.

“The remaining fighters are mainly foreign and Arab nationals with their families and that means they will fight until the last breath,” Colonel Kareem al-Lami, from the Iraqi army’s 9th Division, said. – Reuters

Soviet Union nostalgia MOST Russians polled in a recent study would prefer living under the old Soviet Union and would like to see the socialist system and the Soviet state restored.

According to the poll conducted by the Levada Centre, over 50% of Russian citizens believe the collapse of the Soviet Union was bad and could have been avoided.

Only 28% felt positive about its collapse.

A little more than half of respondents stated that the demise of the Soviet Union could have been prevented, while 33% said it was inevitable. Fourteen percent saw the restoration of the Soviet Union as quite realistic. – teleSUR

Korean peninsula strife THE US is set to launch its annual joint military exercises with South Korea today, a move that threatens North Korea, as it denounced the exercises as a “rehearsal for war”.

The US-South Korean exercise, called Ulchi-Freedom Guardian, will be the first large-scale military exercise between the allies since the North successfully tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles in July and threatened to fire intermediate range ballistic missiles close to Guam earlier this month.

North Korea said the exercises would “further drive the situation on the Korean peninsula into a catastrophe”. – teleSUR

Bengali plot sentences DHAKA: A special tribunal in Bangladesh’s capital has sentenced 10 people to death for planting a 76kg bomb in 2000 to assassinate the then opposition leader and now Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The accused belong to banned militant group Harkat-ul-Jehad-alIslami (Huji). A further nine people were sentenced to 20 years in prison.

The bomb was found while a stage was being set up for Sheikh Hasina to address an election campaign rally the next day.

Huji chief Mufti Hannan was executed in a previous case for a 2004 grenade attack on the British high commissioner in Bangladesh.

The caretaker of a property where they had been due to stay was being sought for questioning. Police said the caretaker, who had gone to pick the couple from the airport, has since disappeared.

Regional police chief, Larry Kiyeng, said the couple, who appeared to be between 60 and 70 years old, had planned to stay at a private residence in Nyali. Their bodies were found wrapped in a blanket near a local nightclub on the outskirts of Mombasa, – Reuters

Refugee camp violence AFTER a night of armed clashes in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh in southern Lebanon left one dead and five injured, Palestinian leadership agreed to a ceasefire, restoring a cautious calm to the camp yesterday morning.

Fighting started on Thursday when fighters led by Bilal Abu Arqub, a supporter of Islamist hardliner Bilal Badr, opened fire at a Palestinian force responsible for providing security in the camp.

Arqub’s son and two Fatah members of the joint forces were killed as more than a dozen were injured.

Clashes intensified on Saturday, as Palestinian leaders decided to call a ceasefire and return their forces to their previous locations. – Ma’an

Ire mounts over Philippine drug war deaths REUTERS MANILA: Mourners at the funeral of a Philippine man who police shot dead protested his innocence yesterday, the latest sign of rising anger over President Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody campaign to stamp out drugs.

More than 12 500 people, many small-time drug users and dealers, have been killed since Duterte took office in June 2016. Police say about 3 500 of those killed were shot by officers in self-defence.

Human rights monitors believe many of the remaining two thirds were killed by assassins operating with police backing or by police disguised as vigilantes – a charge the police deny.

Yesterday, dozens of mourners

wearing white T-shirts with the slogan “Kill drugs, not people”, bore the coffin of Leover Miranda to his grave in a Manila cemetery.

Miranda was killed this month in what police said was a drug sting operation but relatives say he was innocent.

“I want justice for my son,” said Elvira Miranda, 69.

“I have no powerful friends, I do not know what to do, but I want the people behind this senseless killing punished.”

Most people in the Philippines support the anti-drug campaign and Duterte remains a popular leader, but questions have begun to be asked about the slaughter, with more than 90 people killed in a new surge of shootings in recent days.

The country’s two most influen-

tial Catholic bishops yesterday spoke against the latest deaths, asking the faithful to pray for the victims.

“We knock on the consciences of those who kill even the helpless, especially those who cover their faces… to stop wasting human lives,” said Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, archbishop of Manila.

Another senior cleric, Archbishop Socrates Villegas, called for churches to ring their bells every evening at 8pm, to stir the consciences of the authorities.

“You shall not kill. That is a sin.

That is against the law,” he said.

Public anger rose last week when police killed a 17-year-old high school pupil.

Television channels aired CCTV footage that showed Kian Loyd Delos Santos being carried by two men to

a place where his body was later found, raising doubt about an official report that said he was shot because he fired at police.

Some civil society groups and left-wing activists have called for protests, and increasing anger with the police was evident in social media posts.

Metro Manila police chief Oscar Albayalde said he has suspended the police chief in Caloocan City, where the boy was killed, pending an investigation.

Three officers involved in the operation were earlier relieved of their duties.

The justice department has also started an investigation while senators will also summon police this week to explain the sudden rise in killings.

Germany learns from past failure to integrate refugees GESCHER: As Germany struggles to absorb more than a million refugees from the Middle East and Africa, the government is hoping to avoid the mistakes it made half a century ago when it brought in a generation of guest workers from Turkey.

In the 1960s, hundreds of thousands of Turkish men were invited in to fill labour shortages. But Germany made no attempt to help them learn the language or upgrade their skills.

The result is that 3 million Turks in Germany are still struggling today. They are the least integrated minority, with an unemployment rate of about 16%, almost three times the national average.

Now, two years after it threw open its doors to the latest refugees, Germany has devised an integration strategy based on language and job training intended to get the newcomers into work and off welfare.

Among the changes are 600 hours of mandatory language lessons and fast-tracked work permits.

These measures are starting to

Merhawi Tesfay, a refugee from Eritrea, at a German engineering firm where he has found a job.

Picture: Reuters show signs of success: a growing number of refugees are joining a labour market where a record 1.1 million jobs are unfilled.

“Things are very different here,” said Merhawi Tesfay, a 32-year-old Eritrean who was hired by Kremer Machine Systems, an engineering

company in the town of Gescher in western Germany.

“In Eritrea you find work through word of mouth. Here you have the Job Centre and online job sites.

Everything comes with too much bureaucracy and my German wasn’t good enough.”

Tesfay was hired initially as a trainee and then full-time, through ELNet, a government-funded project run by charities that assign mentors to refugees. He had been looking for work for almost three years.

Waves of refugees, many forced to flee Syria’s civil war, began arriving in large numbers two years ago, one of the biggest migration movements Europe had seen since World War II. The challenge now for Germany, which took in the largest number of the incomers in western Europe, is to integrate them into society over the long term.

With its strong economy, Germany is better placed than many European countries to accept refugees. German unemployment is at its lowest since 1990 and seven years of growth mean the government can afford to put aside more than e10 billion a year for refugees.

“Germany learnt that integration is something you work on,” said Herbert Bruecker of Humboldt University of Berlin. “It doesn’t happen on its own”. – Reuters

Ku Klux Klan guards conspire to murder convict TWO FORMER US prison guards in Florida who were members of the Ku Klux Klan have been convicted of plotting to kill a black inmate in retaliation for a scuffle with another guard who belonged to the hate group.

David Moran and Charles Newcomb were found guilty of conspiracy to commit first degree murder after they were caught discussing their plans with an FBI informant.

Moran was an officer at the Florida Department of Corrections Reception and Medical Center in Lake Butler. Newcomb had worked there previously.

The third guard, Thomas Driver, also worked at the facility. He pleaded guilty in March.

All three men were members of a well-known Klan affiliate called the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, prosecutors said.

The convictions came as US President Donald Trump defended his response to a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, facing criticism that he inflamed racial tensions by claiming that “both sides” were to blame for the violence.

Prosecutors said the Florida prison guards’ plot to kill the black inmate was hatched at a Ku Klux Klan meeting in the Jacksonville area in late 2014. The three men told

the informant they wanted to see the inmate “six feet under” once he was released.

The FBI nabbed them by staging a homicide scene that made it look like the former inmate had been savagely murdered.

When the informant showed the men a cellphone photo of the scene, they smiled and Driver shook the informant’s hand “in gratitude”. – Washington Post

N THE latest sign the administration of US President Donald Trump is looking to overturn Obama-era policy at home and abroad, the US military is preparing to restart a long-running military exercise with Egypt after former US president Barack Obama cancelled it in 2013 to protest against the killing of hundreds of protesters in Cairo.

The restart next month of the biannual Bright Star exercise, a bilateral effort now focused on counter terrorism operations, comes as Egypt seeks to contain a insurgency on the Sinai peninsula.

Though Egypt may invite other countries such as Sudan as observers, only US and Egyptian forces will take the field, US defence officials said.

The renewal comes just months after Trump welcomed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to the White House in April, showering him with praise for fighting extremists.

The Obama administration struggled to craft a coherent policy toward Egypt after the 2011 uprising there, abandoning long-time US support for ousted president Hosni Mubarak, then warily embracing the democratically elected Islamist leader Mohammed Mursi, then growing distant from al-Sisi after the military reasserted control in 2013.

Unlike in past years, however, Bright Star will feature a smaller US military footprint, a US official with knowledge of the planning said, with “several hundred” personnel taking part, as opposed to the thousands deployed from the early 1980s until it was called off.

In previous years, hundreds of US airborne troops dropped into the Egyptian desert and Marines stormed the beaches.

The largest Bright Star took place

in 1999 and included about 70 000 troops from 11 nations.

But there’s little need for that kind of show this time around, said David Schenker, director of the Programme on Arab Politics at the Washington Institute.

Cairo has no real peer threat in the region, but its borders with Libya and Sudan are increasingly causes for concern. The exercise next month will be focused primarily on counter terrorism, detecting and eliminating roadside bombs and border security operations.

A years-long insurgency in the Sinai has seen an influx of Islamic State fighters and funding over the past two years. The largest group in the Sinai, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, is responsible for dozens of roadside bombs and other attacks, and pledged allegiance to IS in late 2014.

The group currently controls large swathes of the peninsula.

“The Egyptian military has been fighting and losing an insurgency in the Sinai for the past several years,” Schenker said, and has shown little interest in restructuring its large and lumbering military to fight an entrenched insurgency.

“A smaller exercise focused on these highly technical things is the best thing that Egypt could get.”

The exercise was last held in 2009, as Cairo called off the 2011 event due to the Egyptian revolution that eventually ousted Mubarak, and president Obama halted the follow-on event in 2013 after Egyptian security forces killed hundreds of civilian protesters.

Obama is widely seen as having given al-Sisi the cold shoulder. But he’d started to roll back some of the penalties imposed on Egypt well before Trump took office.

In March 2015 he ended the freeze on $1.3 billion in US military aid, resuming the shipment of F-16 fighter planes, Abrams tanks and Harpoon missiles, and other equipment.

Bid to block Boko Haram online TOYE OLORI Independent Foreign Service LAGOS: The Coalition Against Terrorism (Cat), a non-governmental anti-terrorist group in Nigeria, has advised the government to secure a commitment from internet giants like Google, Facebook and Twitter to block pro-terrorist content from Boko Haram.

The call is coming after a factional leader of the Boko Haram terrorist group, Abubakar Shekau, last week released a video mocking the government and its military chief of staff, who gave orders for his capture within 40 days.

Cat co-ordinator Shehu Garba said social media sites must be compelled to block accounts that promote Boko Haram’s activities.

“These organisations have already complied with such requests from several countries. They either comply or are denied the opportunity to do business in Nigeria,” Garba said.

Commenting on the video, the Cat co-ordinator said the Boko Haram leader was aware that his capture was imminent and was desperately trying to convince his sponsors that the terror group was still effective and should be offered more contracts.

He said the new video indicated Shekau had run out of options as the 2019 Nigerian general election draws near.

Garba welcomed a renewed directive to troops included in mobile

strike teams to hunt down and capture the Boko Haram leader within 40 days.

“Our hope is that the troops would accelerate their mission to smoke out the Boko Haram leader given the new low to which his depravity has sunken,” Garba said.

“Boko Haram went underground to brainwash parents into coercing their girl children into becoming suicide bombers.

“The military must focus on the task at hand and not be distracted by these antics of the terrorists and those behind them. It takes the worst form of perversion to recruit young girls and innocent women to die for other people’s pecuniary reasons.

“In the face of such disparately unconventional circumstances, we commend the achievements of the Nigerian military, which has done well in fighting, degrading and defeating the militant wing of the terror group.”

Garba urged the Nigerian government to pursue the political assets and platforms that support the insurgents.

The terror group has renewed attacks in parts of north-east Nigeria since June. Last week, a woman suicide bomber blew herself up and killed 27 others at a market near the city of Maiduguri. Two more suicide bombers detonated their devices at the gates to a nearby refugee camp.

The Boko Haram insurgency has killed more than 20 000 people and forced some 2.7 million to flee their homes in the past eight years.

STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS: Health Department Director General Precious Matsoso outlines what the Health Department has been doing to improve the quality of life of women.

O T N A M O W . . .

N E M WO A

S WE celebrate Women’s Month, it is important to pause and reflect on the significant strides that we, as the Department of Health, have made to improve the quality of life of women in our country.

While the generation of Lilian Ngoyi, Ruth Mompati and others marched on the Union Buildings to protest against the passbook laws and to demand freedom, the Union Buildings have become the seat of our democratic government that is championing the cause of women empowerment.

Our department is now putting together the building blocks of rolling out the National Health Insurance (NHI).

Through NHI, we are giving freedom a meaning. Through NHI, we are paying tribute to the female freedom fighters who fought for the rights of women. Through NHI, we are paying out the ultimate dividends of freedom and liberation - a right to quality health care.

The government of South Africa is committed to improving the health outcomes of its women and children and this population group will continue to receive priority as the country establishes NHI. Access to quality health services has been a key determinant that has contributed to the improvement in their health outcomes that are seen today as we celebrate Women’s Month.

In conclusion, the department would like to thank our mothers for heeding our call to breast feed their babies.

In 1998, only 7% of babies were breastfed and now, in 2016, this number has risen to 32%2. Health is a partnership and the department will continue to work with all stakeholders to care for our most vulnerable populations.

MARCHING TO PRETORIA: Helen Joseph leads a march by more than 20 000 women to the Union Buildings on August 9 1956 to protest against the extension of the notorious pass laws of the apartheid regime.

Among some of our major achievements are the following:

In 2014, another major public health launch in South Africa was the Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination programme. This vaccine protects girls against getting cervical cancer when they are older. In our country, it is given as a public school based vaccination programme for girls in Grade 4. To date, more than 1 million girls have been fully vaccinated with the required two doses.

Women are living longer; and this is reflected in their life expectancy at birth. This figure was at 59.7 in 2009 and it has risen to 66.4 in 2015.

The maternal mortality ratio, the under- 5 mortality rates and infant mortality rates are important indicators that have all shown a remarkable decline. Taking the baseline of 2009, the maternal mortality ratio was 302 per 100 000 live births and this has dropped to 154/100 000 in 2014.

The Infant mortality rate was 39/1 000 in 2009 and decreased to 27/1 000 in 2015.

These indicators are a measure of child survival, an issue which is dear and close to the hearts of all South Africans.

The Under-5 mortality rate was 56/1 000 in 2009 and this declined to 37/1 000 in 2015.

During pregnancy, 95% of women receive ARVs and this access is closely linked to the phenomenal achievement of a PMTCT rate of 1.4%. We have moved from PMTCT and are now on the road to eMTCT - elimination of MTCT. Mothers have better access to skilled birth attendance, for instance between 1998 and 2016, it increased from 84% to 97%.

The country has not lagged behind in providing women with access to modern contraceptives. To that end, the sub dermal implant was introduced in the public sector in 2014 and the overall couple year protection rate in 2016 was 70%, a jump from 48% in just one year. Dual protection is the optimal family planning method and so the provision of female condoms in the public sector is an important undertaking. The department distributes 7 million female condoms per quarter. In the previous 2 years, 28 million condoms were distributed each year.

This feature is in partnership with the Department of Health

NO ARRESTS MADE

Would-be recruits ‘going for the burn’

Girl, 12, shot in gang crossfire Chevon Booysen A 12-YEAR-OLD Kensington girl is recovering at Groote Schuur Hospital after she was shot in the head by a stray bullet amid an ongoing gang war in the area.

Police spokesperson Andrè Traut confirmed the incident: “This office can confirm that a 12-year-old girl was shot and wounded when she was caught in the crossfire after someone discharged a firearm in Glider Street, Kensington, yesterday at around noon. The circumstances are being investigated,” Traut said.

No arrests have yet been made.

Kensington Community Policing Forum spokesperson Cheslyn Steenberg said the forum condemned the shooting.

“It must be noted that the Kensington CPF has long called for more resources in Kensington/Factreton. Today we again witness the shooting of a innocent child; a child who also wanted to soak up the sun, but instead she got shot.

“Every day our residents fear for their lives, asking who will be next. As the Kensington CPF we are resolute in our fight for more resources in our community. It’s our democratic right to have a safe community,” Steenberg said.

The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) is also investigating a police shooting incident that resulted in road closures at Main Road, Rosebank, between Woolsack Drive and Durban Road yesterday morning.

“It is alleged the police saw a car being driven recklessly, and they stopped it. A passenger allegedly got out and shot at the police, who retaliated and shot the suspect. The suspect was injured and taken to hospital. Ipid is conducting a preliminary investigation,” said Ipid spokesperson Moses Dlamini.

‘Every day our residents fear for their lives, asking who will be next’ police arrested a 30-year-old suspect on Saturday in Bishop Lavis after he was found in possession of firearms, explosives and ammunition. Another suspect was also arrested on charges relating to illegal firearm possession.

“The intelligence-driven operation, executed by SAPS at the suspect’s residence, led to the seizure of two firearms, a 9mm and a 7.65mm, 600g of PE4 explosives, six detonators, one safety fuse, a variety of ammunition of different calibres, a bullet-proof vest as well as firearm maintenance equipment,” Traut said.

“The circumstances surrounding the seizure, which is regarded as a significant success, and the suspect’s involvement in violent crimes perpetrated in gang-affected areas, are under investigation,” Traut added.

Police spokesperson Jakobus Marthinus said a 24-yearold suspect was arrested in the Mitchells Plain cluster after police received a tip-off on Friday morning.

“Members of the Mitchells Plain Cluster Stabilisation Unit responded to information they received from the public pertaining to a suspect in possession of a firearm. On Friday at about 9am members spotted a male fitting the description they received, and approached and searched the suspect.

“They found a pistol, ammunition and magazine in his possession,” Marthinus said.

Both suspects will appear in court today. chevon.booysen@inl.co.za

One of the speakers, Popo Molefe, who was elected as the first secretary-general of UDF in 1983, told yesterday’s gathering of about a thousand people that “the critical issue (for the formation of the UDF) was to defeat apartheid and liberate our people”.

“The challenge is to understand that we need to build a better life for ordinary South Africans,” said Molefe.

He said corruption within the ANC was hindering progress and left many ordinary people vulnerable and unemployed, and that inequality was rife.

“We did not fight to enrich certain individuals. We need to confront corruption. People are beginning to lose faith in the ANC. We should guard against anything that undermines our constitution,” said Molefe, to loud applause.

Stop wanting to benefit alone, while millions are living in dire poverty One of the first UDF leaders, Veronica Siemmers, said that 23 years after democracy, “we still don’t have what we fought for”.

Siemmers asked ANC leaders to “stop your factionalism because it is killing our organisation. We want to tell them that a faction is a division. Stop wanting to benefit alone while millions of South Africans are living in dire poverty.”

Cosatu provincial chairperson Tony Ehrenreich said a large number of South Africans were still not free.

“We did not struggle only to vote every five years, but to put in place the Freedom Charter,” he said. “The wealth of this country does not belong to the Guptas but to the people of this country.

“Let us spend the next few months cleaning the ANC,” said Rasool.

‘Participants cited poor TB infection-control’

From Page 1 diagnosis of TB. Ten were female. Two had contracted drug-resistant TB (DR-TB).

The average diagnostic delay post consultation was 8.1 weeks, with only 42% of initial diagnosis being correct.

Most consulted private health-care providers and nine underwent invasive procedures. Health-care costs were incurred from R25 000 for drug-sensitive TB, up to R104 000 for DR-TB. Students struggled to get treatment, incurred high transport costs and missed academic time. Some had side effects including gastrointestinal issues, difficulty concentrating, hearing loss, depression and decreased visual acuity. Two participants with DR-TB, wanted to leave medical school.

Most participants cited poor TB infection-control practices at their training hospitals as a major risk factor for occupational TB. UCT health sciences faculty spokesperson Linda Rhoda said since 2014, the faculty has had 11 students who are reported to have had TB. “All of the students diagnosed with TB were successfully treated with the appropriate medication and protocols. Our measures appear to be effective, as the figures indicate a more than 50% decline in cases over the past two years.

IT IS never too late to learn.

Just ask 50-year-old Khulukazi Ralase, who is earning a law degree with help from the University of the Western Cape’s Access To Success 2017 campaign.

UWC launched the Access To Success campaign, which focuses on providing muchneeded funding to students who are performing well academically but who cannot afford university fees.

Ralase considers herself a late bloomer after matriculating from St Francis Adult Education Centre in Langa, but only got the opportunity to study at the age of 46.

When her twin sister Ncikazi fell pregnant in the year they were supposed to start university, Khulukazi decided she was willing to put her education plans on hold and look after her sister’s baby until her

sister finished her degree.

Her desire to study further continued to grow as she saw her twin sister’s progress in her studies, especially when she realised that there were opportunities in the form of the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) programme at UWC. She said: “This programme paved the way for me and now I am ready to make a difference in my community.

“I want to pursue the dream of officially launching a programme called Keep Them Safe, aimed at preventing children from committing crimes, focusing on youth development.”

After having to complete a bridging course in 2013, she was only able to apply successfully in 2014.

But there are still challenges to overcome: unreliable public transport, the financial struggle of fees, textbooks, and

too, and I struggle with a few modules, but I’m learning to keep pushing through.

“Access To Success is a great campaign to help students who cannot afford university fees. It will play a big role

in ending the FeesMustFall campaign, giving access for students like myself from previously disadvantaged areas to succeed and help others in the process.”

ANCYL members call for intervention with leaders Dominic Adriaanse DISGRUNTLED ANC Youth League (ANCYL) members of the province have called for immediate intervention by the national leadership into the organisation, citing “rampant corruption and blatant disregard of the rules”.

A press conference was

held yesterday in the CBD consisting of former regional task team (RTT) and regional executive committee(REC) members.

Former RTT member Mesuli Kama said they represented ANCYL members from across the province.

“Some have called us disgruntled and ill-disciplined, but we are worried about the

movement and those who consider themselves in charge are determined to see the youth league die in their hands.

“The current six members of the provincial executive committee (PEC) were elected on February 20, 2015, at a special conference and according to the ANCYL constitution the term of office for elected prov-

incial executive is two years.”

He said they therefore considered the decisions of this executive committee since February 21 of this year as “illegal and unconstitutional”.

Several letters had been written to the office of the secretary-general of the ANCYL, Njabulo Nzuza, but there had been no response, Kama said.

Provincial ANCYL chairperson Muhammad Khalid Sayed said: “The NEC determines when we hold conference and we were elected and they (activists) were selected by the committee.”

ANCYL national spokesperson Bandile Masuku did not respond to calls and messages left for him.

Students struggled to get treatment, incurred high transport costs that the TB infections were contracted in the workplace, as TB is ubiquitous in South Africa. However, it is widely acknowledged that health professionals are at increased risk due to patient exposure,” she said.

Provincial health department spokesperson Mark Van Der Heever said if a student contracts TB, one cannot automatically conclude that he or she contracted it at a health facility. He said the department has no accurate information on the number of students who have been affected in the last few years as their health status is confidential.

“All undergraduate health science students are educated around the risks of TB as part of their training, specifically around the signs and symptoms they might experience should they contract TB. They are encouraged to use the protective clothing offered to them or to seek medical help if they develop symptoms, either through their general practitioner, or through their nearest clinic,” he said.

HOPEFULS from across South Africa have been put through their paces, in the hope that they would be recruited among 120 of the City’s seasonal firefighters.

With an average of 7 500 vegetation fires in Cape Town every summer, the service recruits candidates every year to intensify its firefighting efforts between November and April.

Over the past week, more than 1 800 participants went through the first stage, a basic fitness test at the City’s Ndabeni facility.

The assessment included a reach test, a 2.4km run within a prescribed time, 30 sit-ups within 60 seconds, 30 pushups within 60 seconds and a 50kg dead load carry over 100m.

“This fitness assessment is standard. On paper it might not seem that daunting, but I would venture a guess that many people would struggle to complete the tasks. I want to congratulate those candidates who persevered and commiserate with those who didn’t make it this time around,” said the City’s Mayco Member for Safety, Security and Social Services, JP Smith.

A total of 846 candidates successfully completed the basic fitness assessment.

During the next stage, they will be required to complete written and behavioural assessments. The top overall performers will be offered contracts as seasonal firefighters and will start training on November 1.

Seasonal firefighters are expected to work at least 40 hours a week for the duration of their contracts, under the guidance and supervision of firefighters and officers.

“We experience between 6 000-9 000 vegetation fires during summer in Cape Town. Our seasonal recruits are crucial to our efforts to protect lives and property during this very busy period,” Smith added.

Earlier this year, the City reported that from November 1, 2016, to January 12, 2017, fire and rescue services responded to 5 465 fires, an average of about 75 a day.

About 80% of the incidents were classified as bush, grass, or rubbish fires.

Suspect in court after Uber crime Staff Writer A MAN arrested for robbing an Uber driver of his belongings was due to appear at the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court today.

According to Safety and Security Mayco member JP Smith, the suspect had called for a cab in Bridgetown, Athlone and gave an address in Bunny Street, Kensington.

Smith said the driver was pulled off in Acre Road and the suspect demanded money and the car keys, among other items, on Friday.

Police spokesperson Andre Traut said the 28-yearold man was arrested at a residence in the area and found in possession of an unlicensed firearm.

“The swift and joint response of the SAPS and law enforcement led to the apprehension of a robber shortly after he held a taxi driver at gunpoint and robbed him of cash and his cellular telephone.

“In reaction to the incident, which occurred at around 11.15am on the corner of Glyder and Acre streets in Kensington, members of the Kensington police and the City’s law enforcement conducted a search for the suspect,” Traut said.

Meanwhile, four suspects were arrested after being found in possession of an unlicensed firearm in Samora Machel on Saturday.

In another incident there yesterday, police arrested a suspect found in possession of a firearm.

PACKED WITH CHURCHGOERS

More shocking school violence

19 killed in horror taxi crash Bernadette Wolhuter CRIES of sorrow echoed through the rolling hills of KwaXimba, near Cato Ridge in rural KwaZulu Natal, yesterday afternoon.

Hundreds of people were gathered at the spot where hours earlier, a minibus taxi – packed full of churchgoers on their way to a Sunday morning service – careened off a bridge and plunged 15 metres down an embankment.

By late afternoon, the death toll from the horror crash was at 19.

The accident took place on the main road in the Msunduzi Valley area at around 9.30am.

The Department of Community Safety and Liaison in KwaZulu-Natal posted on its Facebook page that the driver of the minibus had lost control of the vehicle and it had rolled several times.

“As per the disc, the vehicle is certified to carry 16 passengers… however, it was ferrying 26 people including thedriver,” the department said. They said “the minibus was overloaded by 10 people”.

MEC Mxolisi Kaunda visited the scene yesterday.

He said his department was compiling a report, but that initial investigations indicated that the minibus brakes were not in good condition. Kaunda said the majority of those who had died were women.

The SAPS Search and Rescue unit, State paramedics and private ambulance services were all at the scene.

ER24’s Russel Meiring said they found the minibus lying on its roof at the bottom of the embankment.

“A total of 15 bodies were found lying around the

vehicle. Paramedics assessed the patients and found that all 15 had already succumbed to their multiple injuries. Nothing more could be done for them and they were declared dead on the scene,” Meiring said.

Members of the community had rushed a number of the survivors to the local clinic immediately after the accident. Meiring said they treated several patients at the scene and at the clinic. Five of them had sustained critical injuries.

Paramedics provided them with advanced life support interventions.

“Unfortunately, after some time, three succumbed to their injuries and were declared dead,” Meiring said.

Later in the day, another person died.

Robert Mckenzie, spokesperson for KZN Emergency Medical Services, said they treated a total of 12 patients with critical and serious injuries.

“The injured were treated at the scene of the crash and at the clinic,” McKenzie said, “The injured were transported to hospitals in the Durban and Pietermaritzburg areas for continued medical care.”

SAPS spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbhele said police were investigating.

The ANC in the KZN issued a statement yesterday afternoon in which it labelled the crash a “sad and painful tragedy”.

It added that suggestions the minibus was overloaded was “concerning”. “The ANC further calls on the law enforcement and authorities to swiftly investigate the causes of this carnage.”

RECYCLED FASHION: Sixteen schools competed in the sixth annual Generation Green Recycled Fashion Show hosted at the Liberty Promenade Mall at the weekend. Mondale High School walked away with the top spot, earning their school R20 000.

Pupils get creative with waste in green fashion show Chevon Booysen MONDALE High School pupils, who walked away with R20 000 at the Generation Green Recycled Fashion Show, say they hope to have an art studio built at school with the prize money.

Woodville Primary won the primary school category.

Each winning school took home R20 000 and the runner-up, Cedar High School, won R10 000.

The annual event, now in

its sixth year, was held at the Liberty Promenade Shopping Centre in Mitchells Plain on Saturday with 16 schools that competed.

This year, participants were asked to create a superhero outfit from recycled materials and a poster to raise awareness of the social harm that bullying causes in schools.

The schools competed for the top prize by dressing their superheroes in recycled materials from head to toe, driving home the anti-bullying

pupils had to incorporate recycled materials in their design.

Dorothea Wright, general manager for Liberty Promenade, said: “The benefit of the annual recycling stipulation means that pupils are encouraged to be resourceful in their re-use of discarded materials and we hope will begin to seek ways of recycling waste.

“Bullying is a scourge on young children, who are especially vulnerable to the effects of harsh and unkind words

campaign.

Mondale High School and their superhero, “Heroine of Harmony”, were stoked with the win and said their hard work and efforts had paid off, as they had worked tirelessly for two weeks creating their recycled masterpiece.

The Generation Green Recycled Fashion Show saw the schools go head to head in a competitive show featuring unique outfits designed and modelled by pupils themselves.

The stipulation was that

from their peers. Parents can do a lot to intervene, but ultimately, children themselves need to learn to recognise and reject bullying from as young an age as possible.”

This year’s superhero theme came to life with outfits inspired by Wonder Woman, Batman and many others.

Creativity abounded in the form of capes made from CDs and black rubbish bags, wirenet skirts and outfits made of discarded washing powder and potato chip packets.

UWC SRC president buoyed by prison well-wishers Siyavuya Mzantsi UWC SRC president Asanda Bleki says he is overwhelmed and encouraged by the support he received while being held at Goodwood Prison for nearly a month.

He was arrested for contravening a protection order and for public violence.

His arrest was related to his alleged assault of security officers in June.

Bleki spent 21 days at the Goodwood Prison before he was granted R3 000 bail on Thursday.

His bail application was scheduled to be heard on September 7.

But his lawyers filed an urgent High Court application, which was successful.

“Even the inmates are people who understand our cause as students and appreciate what we do.

that whenever he wants to visit the university, he must first get written permission.

“I am not sure what the court was thinking when imposing such a stipulation because Bleki naturally has written permission to be there as a student.

“I do not understand, but we will let that go because that is the judgment.”

In 2015 Bleki was one of several students arrested during

“It touches them. When they hear that you are fighting for the accessibility of education, they encourage you and understand very well that it is a noble cause,” he said.

Bleki claimed that students often ended up facing criminal charges because they were raising matters on behalf of workers.

Yesterday Bleki’s lawyer, Xolani Ngculu, said: “We got bail. One of the conditions is

the #FeesMustFall protests.

U WC s p o ke s p e r s o n Luthando Tyhalibongo said: “UWC respects the law, court findings and conditions imposed by the courts.

“Mr Bleki has not asked the university for permission to come to campus and we will wait for such permission to be asked for before commenting any further.”

Bleki will appear in court on September 14.

MORE disturbing video footage of school yard violence in KwaZulu-Natal has surfaced.

The provincial Department of Education has obtained two clips of vicious brawling at Richards Bay Secondary School on KZN’s North Coast.

The department said at the weekend that the videos, which appear to have been filmed using a cellphone, were taken on Friday.

It said it was alleged that some pupils were in possession of knives and guns, and that shots were fired on the school premises.

The first of the videos, which is 12 seconds long, begins with a group of boys walking across a school field.

One produces what appears to be a large knife or a panga and slams it into another boy while a crowd of children around them scream.

The second video is 21 seconds long and shows a group of boys fighting one another in a courtyard.

Again, one is wielding what looks like a knife or a panga, and he attacks another boy with it.

They then run out of the shot.

The MEC for Education in the province, Mthandeni Dlungwana, is scheduled to visit the school today to assess the situation.

The department said it would not rest until the culprits had been identified and brought to book.

“Schools should be the centres of learning and teaching, not the sites of bullying, gangsterism and criminality,” it said.

It added that bullying was a significant challenge to school safety.

The department was doing everything in its power to provide safe and caring environments in its schools, it said.

Farewell to two presidents hailed at summit PRETORIA: The 37th ordinary SADC summit of heads of state and government in Pretoria yesterday bade farewell to two outgoing regional leaders – Presidents Jose Eduardo dos Santos of Angola and Ian Khama of Botswana – who are stepping down at the end of their terms in office.

In his closing remarks, incoming SADC chairperson President Jacob Zuma told delegates the regional bloc would miss the two leaders.

“During our discussions, we bid farewell to President Eduardo Dos Santos of Angola who is retiring.

President Dos Santos has been one of the key pillars of SADC. We thus take this opportunity to thank him profoundly for his contribution to the liberation struggle in the region and his outstanding contribution to SADC,” said Zuma.

“We wish him good health in his retirement. We also wish to take this opportunity to wish the people of Angola peaceful elections.”

Zuma also paid tribute to Khama, who will be leaving office in April 2018.

“In this regard, we thank Presi-

We will always remember his leadership of SADC during 2015/2016. We hope that even during his retirement he will continue to contribute to the work of SADC,” he said.

Zuma said that during the summit the heads of state reviewed the political and security situation in the region.

“We noted with appreciation the relative political and security tranquillity in the region with notable challenges in the Kingdom of Lesotho and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

“On Lesotho, we have welcomed the commitment of the new government to implement SADC decisions.

Fisher goes missing in KZN African News Agency AN ANGLER is missing after being washed off the ocks at Cape Vidal, north of Richards Bay in KwaZuluNatal yesterday, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said.

NSRI Richards Bay duty crew were activated at noon by the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) following reports of an angler, aged about 36, washed off rocks by waves at Cape Vidal while fishing, NSRI Richards Bay deputy station commander Brynn Gericke said.

“Our sea rescue vehicle was dispatched carrying our NSRI rescue swimmers to the scene and two NSRI sea rescue craft were towed to the scene to be launched if required.

to submit a clear time-bound roadmap on the implementation of all SADC decisions and a commission of inquiry by November 2017,” he said.

Regarding the DRC, Zuma said the summit had noted that it might not be possible for the country to hold elections in December 2017, “due to a number of challenges currently receiving attention”.

“Accordingly, the summit has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission of the DRC to publicise the revised electoral calendar.

The summit has also approved the appointment of a SADC special envoy to the DRC in the level of a former head of state. There are consultations aimed at finalising this matter.”

The Pretoria summit was hosted under the theme “Partnering with the private sector in developing industry and regional value chains”.

Zuma said the theme was aimed at ensuring continuity and placed particular focus on implementation of the SADC industrialisation strategy and roadmap to accelerate economic growth and development in the region.

In a landmark resolution, the summit admitted the Union of Comoros into the SADC fold, bringing the mem-

bership of the regional bloc to 16.

Zuma appealed to all SADC members to continually work on improving the lives of their citizenry. “Africa is the richest continent with the poorest people. Our heritage and endowment must be used to drive economic development for the benefit of all Africa’s citizens.

“Therefore, the discovery and exploitation of natural gas within our region should constitute the backbone of our regional economic integration. As such, summit directed the secretariat to facilitate the establishment of a regional natural gas committee to promote the inclusion of gas in the regional energy mix and in the promotion of industrial development,” he said.

Numerous SADC heads of state and government, including Lesotho Prime Minister Tom Thabane, Namibian President Hage Geingob, Botswana President Ian Khama, Zambian President Edgar Lungu and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe were in attendance.

The predecessor of the SADC, the Southern African Development Co-ordination Community (SADCC) was established in 1980 in Lusaka, Zambia.

SIMULATION EXERCISE

Extremist groups cut from social networks

Students from UCT pilot Mars vehicle Staff Writer HOW do you drive a Mars rover? With an Xbox controller.

At least that’s how UCT student Samuel Anih drove it.

Anih was the pilot in the sixstrong corps of UCT students acting as astronauts in a simulated Mars rover mission at the institution last month.

Anih said the two-hour mission had the team land and conduct experiments on a simulated Mars terrain.

The team were joined by Mission Control Space Services Inc president and chief executive Ewan Reid. Before founding the company, he was a lead designer on three rover prototypes for the Canadian Space Agency and was mission controller for nine of Nasa’s shuttle missions.

Mission Control has been

touring select universities around the world, giving students the chance to pilot the rovers and acting as a dry run for Mission Control’s actual outer space explorations.

After meeting UCT’s SpaceLab convener Professor Peter Martinez at a conference last year, they decided to bring one of the tests to UCT. The “astronauts”, Martinez’s cohort of space science master’s students, were in a makeshift spacecraft – a locked seminar room in the SpaceLab at UCT. Their spacecraft was orbiting Mars while the rover rumbled along a Mars-like terrain at the Canadian Space Agency outside Montreal.

Reid was in constant contact with the astronauts and with a scientific team at the testing site in Montreal.

In the spacecraft, Anih and

Anih said each member of the team had been assigned a role: driver, navigator, commander, sensors, science and communications. The name: Space Pioneers Analysing Mars, or Spam.

Maureen Tanner was in charge of the communications desk. While the team’s bread and butter was spamming

ground control with instant text messages, they would occasionally send an urgent voice message, too.

It would take eight minutes for a message from a spacecraft orbiting Mars to reach Earth, so Reid only acknowledged and reacted to their messages eight minutes after the fact, by which time the game might have changed.

“It’s actually quite tricky to

Sand sculptor removed for no busking permit Lwando Njamela The City law enforcement officers removed a sand sculptor from the Fish Hoek beach at the weekend because he did not have a busking permit.

Micheal Myekwa, 33, from Joe Slovo in Milnerton, started making sand portraits at the beach on August 6, which included a crucifix of Jesus, a portrait of a rhino and an elephant.

He says he first heard from the City’s law enforcement officials when they visited him on the August 9 public holiday, when they viewed his sand portraits.

“Many people loved them and they were tipping me.

Then on Women’s Day the law enforcement (officers) came to view my art and they applauded me for my work,” he said.

On Friday last week, Myekwa was told by the City’s law enforcement officers to stop his work as he did not have a busking permit because he was soliciting money from beachgoers.

A confused Myekwa told the Cape Times about his previous artworks at other beaches from where he had been removed.

“I worked on many beaches and I have never had something like this happen. I worked in Port Elizabeth, East London, Knysna and Hout Bay. I was never asked for a permit before.

Only in Durban for a competition was I asked for one, called the ‘sand art permit’,” he said.

Myekwa went on to say: “On a busy day I collect about R500 in tips, especially on Sundays.

But on a normal day I get about R250 to R350 in tips.”

The DA ward councillor in Fish Hoek, Felicity Purchase,

communicate with the eightminute delay,” Tanner said.

The team encountered multiple issues during their mission, including their speakers, which had stopped working.

Fortunately, the speakers were only to be used in emergencies, and Reid, Martinez and Professor Rene Laufer were impressed that the UCT astronauts eventually noticed and fixed the problem, all the

while continuing their mission.

In the end, the astronauts found two possible landing spots, and their mission was accomplished.

In part, they owed their success to meticulously planning every movement of their mission, but Reid also lauded their flexibility, which is critical in unpredictable environments, not least when the environments are on different planets.

“It is very interesting. At times when you study something it’s different from practically doing it.

“You feel you have achieved something.”

Anih said it put things into perspective.

“This is something that should be replicated around schools in South Africa. We are trying to build future generations in science,” he said.

DNA tests: surprise finding

PUZZLING: Michael Myekwa was told to destroy his sand sculptures after asking for money from people who wanted to photograph them. said Myekwa was removed from the beach because he had solicited money from beachgoers.

“He only needs a permit when he puts his tin there asking for donations. That is busking. Making sandcastles is allowed. He has been told this many times,” she said.

Purchase explained what Myekwa needed to do in order to display his sandcastles at the

beach again.

“He needs to apply at the Plumstead office or online for a busking permit. ‘‘This has nothing to do with any other trader on the beachfront. It is an informal trading by-law.

“This is an unintended consequence. Asking for donations under the nose of the law enforcement (officers) is a bit of a risk,” she said.

NEW YORK: If you learned your DNA made you more susceptible to getting a disease, wouldn’t you work to stay healthy?

You’d quit smoking, eat better, ramp up your exercise, or do whatever else it took to improve your odds of avoiding maladies like obesity, diabetes, heart disease or cancer, right?

The scientific evidence says: don’t bet on it.

DNA testing for disease risk has recently expanded in the US. The company 23andMe recently started selling the nation’s first approved direct-to-consumer DNA tests that evaluate the buyer’s genetic risk for certain diseases or conditions.

The field also gained a new entrant in July, when a company called Helix launched an online marketplace for DNA tests, including some for genetic health risk.

Helix decodes a consumer’s

DNA and passes the results along to another company for analysis.

A request for the currently available health tests must be approved by a physician’s group that reviews the customer’s medical history.

DNA tests for diseases typically assess genetic predisposition to getting sick. They don’t provide absolute predictions about whether or not a disease will strike. Genetic risk is only part of a person’s overall risk, which includes influence from other things like a person’s lifestyle.

While some diseases are caused by a single malfunctioning gene, more common illnesses are influenced by multiple genes and often each gene nudges a person’s risk only slightly.

Last year, researchers published an analysis that combined 18 studies of people who got doctor-ordered DNA test

results about disease risks.

The result? Getting the DNA information produced no significant effect on diet, physical activity, drinking alcohol, quitting smoking, sun protection or attendance at disease-screening programmes.

That fits with other results showing that, on balance, getting the information “has little if any impact on changing routine or habitual behaviours”, said psychologist Theresa Marteau of Britain’s Cambridge University, a study author.

Dr Robert Green of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston said people sought such results for a number of reasons, including simple curiosity, so the value of DNA testing should not be judged simply by whether it changes health behaviour.

“I think people have a right to this information,” he said.

NEW YORK: Tech companies’ efforts to banish extremist groups and individuals are continuing as a social network popular with extremists disappeared from Google’s Android app store.

Gab had already been unavailable in Apple’s store, though it remains accessible on the web.

The banishments come in the wake of the deadly clash at a white-nationalist rally last weekend in Virginia.

Civil rights advocates welcomed the moves, but say more needs to be done.

Here is a look at some of the technology services that have banned hate groups or have otherwise come out against white supremacists and their supporters: Ahead of the rally, the housing booking service Airbnb barred rentals to people it believed were travelling to participate.

Facebook removed several groups and individuals from its service and Instagram for what it called violations of terms banning hate speech.

Groups included Vanguard America, Physical Removal and Genuine Donald Trump.

Twitter, meanwhile, appears to have suspended the account for neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer, though the company doesn’t comment on individual accounts.

Google had removed Gab, a social network that extremists flocked to, for “hate speech”, Gab tweeted.

Email marketing firm MailChimp said some groups had their accounts terminated after it changed its terms of service to exclude customers whose primary purpose was “inciting harm” or promoting “discriminatory, hateful, or harassing content”.

PayPal has been removing payment accounts linked to known hate groups in the months leading up to Charlottesville, according to the company and a civil rights organisation it was working with. For example, the account for the Daily Stormer was banned several months ago.

Apple is donating $2m to human rights groups as part of chief executive Tim Cook’s pledge to help lead the fight against the hate that fuelled the violence in Charlottesville. – AP

Archbishop raises alarm over bloody crackdown MANILA, Philippines: A Philippine Catholic leader says church bells will be rung every night for three months across his northern district to raise alarm over a sharp spike in police killings of drug suspects, adding to a growing outcry over President Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody crackdown.

Archbishop Socrates Villegas said yesterday that bells would toll for 15 minutes nightly across his religious district from tomorrow to November 27 to rouse a citizenry “which has become a coward in expressing anger against evil”. The start and end of the protest mark days of Catholic veneration.

The move comes after more than 80 drug and crime suspects were gunned down by police in metropolitan Manila and nearby Bulacan

province in just three days last week, the bloodiest few days since Duterte’s crackdown started in July last year.

“The sounding of the bells is a call to stop approval of the killings,” Villegas, who also heads an influential bloc of Filipino Catholic bishops, said in a statement read yesterday in churches in his district in Pangasinan province. “The country is in chaos. The officer who kills is rewarded and the slain get the blame.

The corpses could no longer defend themselves from accusations that they ‘fought back’.”

“Why is nobody raging against drugs brought in from China?” Villegas asked, referring to a huge shipment that passed through Manila’s ports under the watch of customs officials appointed by Duterte.

Without naming the president, Villegas criticised Duterte’s praises for police killings of 32 drug suspects in just a night of raids across Bulacan province last week.

In a separate statement read in Manila churches, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle offered to host a dialogue on the drug problem among government and police officials, along with families of victims, NGOs and medical experts.

Anger and protests have focused on last week’s shooting death of a teenager, Kian Lloyd delos Santos, 17, who police say was a drug dealer who opened fire with a pistol during a raid, prompting law enforcers to shoot him. His family, however, says he was mercilessly shot by police as he was pleading for his life.

Police said the student attempted to escape during a raid, but neighbours denied the claim, pointing to security camera footage showing someone who they said was Kian being dragged away from his home just before he was shot nearby.

Vice-President Leni Robredo has condemned the killing and visited the wake of the slain student yesterday.

Police officials removed three officers involved in the killing, along with their commander, and ordered an investigation.

More than 3 200 drug suspects have been gunned down by police since the crackdown, while more than 2 000 have died in drug-related killings. However, alarmed human rights groups have reported higher tolls. – AP

add the flour, coconut, brown sugar and chutney and turn the heat to low.

4. Add the beef stock slowly, stirring – cook until the sauce thickens 5. Add the vinegar and cook a few minutes more.

6. Pour the sauce over the uncooked frikkadelle, them slice the remaining bananas over the top.

Bake for 45 minutes until the frikkadelle are cooked through.

2.5ml (1/2tsp) ground ginger 6 ripe bananas (not overripe) 45ml (3tbs) flour 45ml (3tbs) desiccated coconut 30ml (2tbs) brown sugar 30ml (2tbs) chutney 500ml beef stock 30ml (2tbs) vinegar FRIKKADELLE 1. Squeeze the excess milk out of the bread and break up finely with a fork.

2. Place the mince in a bowl and add the bread and the rest of the frikkadel ingredients.

3. Form 12 to 14 large frikkadelle, taking care not to knead or press the meat too much. Place the frikkadelle in a single layer in a greased ovenproof dish. Cover and leave in the fridge while preparing the banana curry sauce and heating the oven to 160 degrees.

BANANA CURRY SAUCE 1. In a medium-sized heavy-based saucepan fry the onions in butter over medium heat until soft and translucent, not brown.

2. Add the garlic, curry powder, turmeric, cayenne pepper and the ginger and stir until fragrant.

3. Finely slice two of the ripest bananas directly into the onion mixture, then

Ma Inez advises that the frikkadelle should be made with a gentle hand and not too much mixing, or they might get tough.

You can use oats instead of bread and thus eliminate the need to soak in milk.

Add fewer bananas in the sauce, if you prefer.

To serve: Rice, coconut, chutney and tomato and onion sambal. Serves six

SPIRITED: Pat Williams.

Picture: SARAH SWORDS I shouldn’t write a documentary.

But I certainly could do a memoir – so I kind of wrote a memoir and a documentary and threaded my own story.”

The book comes across as a frank and moving record of life in South Africa for the creatives as well as the extraordinary tours overseas, for the cast and the unique situations that all those involved found themselves in. Williams recalls: “I also wanted it to be a social document. From a very small child I couldn’t understand it (apartheid) – I had lack of understanding of it all.”

There are many fascinating accounts which detail the difficulties that were rife in the logistics of producing a show of this nature.

For example, she relates how tricky it was, almost impossible, given the restrictive laws and the time limits, of her being able to meet with Matshikiza to work on the lyrics.

“People often ask songwriters which comes first, the music or the words. In our case, there was no choice, because it was hard for Todd and me to meet, given the limitations apartheid imposed, plus we both had jobs, which made the

happened…”

Williams, now in her 80s, returned to South Africa almost 60 years later, for the recent launch of the new King Kong and recalls warmly how three generations of her family sat in the star-struck audience to enjoy, what she referred to, as a wonderful tribute and superb reinvention of the original King Kong.

Now living in the UK, where she lives half the year in London and the other half on the Scottish Island of Arran, she says she wrote the book as her response to the new production. “I feel a bit like the keeper of the memories,” she remembers the heady days when the original story took place.

On reading Williams’s book, Athol Fugard, who, at around the same time that King Kong came together, was setting up a multi-racial theatre in Johannesburg and crafting dramatic roles and narratives for black actors, has referred to it as “an extraordinary memoir of the first ever South African musical, which has since acquired mythical proportions”.

She says: “When I first spoke to producer Eric Abraham, he said

SABC1

IT ALL started with Johannesburg couple Clive and Irene Menell and Drum magazine journalist Todd Matshikiza. Matshikiza had covered the story of boxer Ezekiel Dlamini and was also renowned as a highly talented musician and composer.

The Menells had no experience of musicals, but plenty of verve and creativity, and between the three of them, following long discussions deep into the night, they decided to create King Kong.

Pat Williams describes how, as the neighbour of the Menells, and a journalist at the Rand Daily Mail, she was co-opted to write the lyrics and how the Menells brought them all together, along with set designer (and anti-apartheid activist) Arthur Goldreich.

“They had already been meeting for two or three weeks, and thought of me to write the lyrics because they knew the weekly satirical verses I wrote in the Rand Daily Mail, for which I was a reporter and deputy film and theatre critic.”

Williams recalls in the book how soon the team was utterly absorbed in visualising this landmark story about the boxer: “a true and ultimately tragic story, so familiar to us that no further explanation was needed. The function of the (first) scene, and the song in it, was to establish King Kong as star of the boxing ring, and his popularity among the people in the town.”

Williams was 23 years old at the time and recalls in the book the strong criticism she had, from both friends and family, for socialising and working with people “across the colour bar” during the height of the apartheid era. She writes “… between us we broke through insane and cruel restrictions, both of law and convention, which in South Africa up until that point had kept people of different races apart, and which had seemed as rigid as iron, as unreachable as say, the prison on Robben Island. Inconceivable, unthinkable – but somehow it

‘when’ difficult too.”Thus, before the days of advanced technology, writes Williams, an idea was devised by Clive Menell in which her songs were recorded on to the bulky tapes of the times so that Matshikiza could listen to them as he sat at a piano. Lyrics were tried out in the car… there were meetings in a cafe in Fordburg… eventually the whole mammoth show came together triumphantly.

Williams says the reinvention of the original groundbreaking musical brings back a multitude of memories. “It was indeed a privilege in those days to work with Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba.”

Of the reincarnation of the legendary show she says: “I was thinking of it after seeing it on opening night, and one could say, ‘same, same but different’. One couldn’t have put it on now, the way you had then.”

She applauds the new cast and production team: “They were so great about what we had done and achieved and so wanted to honour what we had done and speak to a new generation “What’s extraordinary was that when we did it my son was not quite 2 years old – now he is in his 60s and was sitting in the audience with his two daughters.”

In her honest and often painful memories, she describes a difficult marriage and just weeks before the original show her “bleak time” as she planned to leave her marriage. She remarried in her sixties and today is content and remains extremely active and involved in her family and her work. She says: “My life has gone on from King Kong. I continue to write and have penned novels under a pseudonym” (which she was not willing to reveal).

“I decided in my late 50s that if I lived till then, I had to continue to work up to my 90s.In her epilogue to the recently published book, Williams fondly pays tribute to her close associates and friends, from decades ago.

She says, “when Ezekiel Dlamini (King Kong) threw himself into the dam on the prison farm and drowned… in 1957, he passed from life into legend, and that is where he still exists today.” l King Kong: Legend of a Boxer can be seen at The Fugard Theatre until September 2 and will move to Joburg Theatre on September 8.

A need to overhaul Ipid

I

N ANY meaningful democratic institution oversight is critical to guard against the abuse of power. As a country, we have done well in establishing chapter nine institutions such as the Public Protector and the South African Human Rights Commission to speak for the downtrodden and marginalised members of our society.

The formation of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) to investigate crimes by the police was another stroke of genius by those credited with the drafting of our constitution.

While the police watchdog is not a chapter nine institution, its role of investigating crimes by the police is essential. That is why we find the testimony coming out of the Moerane Commission disturbing.

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Willies Mchunu set up the commission to probe the root cause of political murders in the province. During one of the testimonies, Ipid came under attack from one of its own leaders, who labelled the police watchdog’s KwaZulu-Natal office a “corrupt, incompetent organisation that has failed the victims of police crimes”.

Amar Maharaj, the national head of Ipid’s ethics division, backed testimony last month by the provincial violence monitor and human rights activist, Vanessa Burger, who had labelled the office as “dysfunctional”. It is one thing for Ipid to be slammed by an outsider like Burger, it is another when the criticism emanates from within. It is clear an urgent solution is needed.

The closing of hundreds of cases without proper investigation is a serious concern. This means dangerous police officers who have committed serious crimes have been allowed to escape scot-free.

The Ipid national leaders must overhaul the office by removing all the incompetent officers and replacing them with those who take their jobs seriously. Cops who take the law into their own hands will continue to abuse the system if they know that the Ipid office has no teeth.

Maharaj must be the most isolated Ipid official right now. His admission of the weaknesses in his organisation should not be taken lightly. We would like to congratulate him for his courage to speak up.

Officials like him are in short supply.

SECOND OPINION From: The New York Times

The failing Trump

W

ith each day, President Trump offers fresh proof that he is failing the office that Americans entrusted to him. The rolling disaster of his presidency accelerated downhill last week with a news conference on Tuesday at which he seemed determined to sow racial strife in a nation desperate for a unifying vision.

Since the 1930s it has not typically been a challenge for an American leader to denounce Nazism.

But there is nothing typical about this president; urged by some of his advisers and family members to summon the majesty and moral authority of the presidency to heal the wounds of last weekend’s neo-Nazi violence in Charlottesville, to put the good of the country before personal pique, he chose instead to deliver a defence of white supremacists that raised as never before profound doubts about his moral compass, his grasp of the obligations of his office and his fitness to occupy it.

This, in essence, is where we are now: a nation led by a prince of discord who seems divorced from decency and common sense. The alarm bells were loud and swift. Five members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff delivered a rare rebuke, condemning racebased extremism in the military and the nation.

Foreign leaders, from Secretary General António Guterres of the United Nations to Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain, condemned intolerance and a failure of leadership in the White House.

Of all the many complaints and condemnations, the strongest came from Mr. Trump’s putative allies in the business community, a glittering who’s who of financial and corporate leaders who began resigning from two White House advisory councils early last week, ultimately forcing the president to dissolve both panels in order to spare himself the humiliation of further corporate desertions.

Last week, he stripped away the pretence and the camouflage. In deciding to split Americans apart rather than draw them together, he abandoned the legacy of Lincoln for the legacy of Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis. He chose to summon not America’s better angels, but its demons.

​Do it the Dubai way and desalinate water on our doorstep I NOTICE a total quietness in the news concerning the lack of drinking water except for a small note that our dams are still at approximately 20%.

With the summer “no rain” season around the corner, do we have a solution that the department wishes to share with us?

I guess not and that is very, very scary. This should not be so because we have more water than we will ever need

right on our doorsteps, water that has been here for a million years and will be here for the next million – give and take a few thousand.

I recommend that the “bosses” running the show here contact their associates in Dubai for an urgent meeting to find out how they manage the situation in a country where it simply never rains, nor do they have rivers.

I have visited Dubai many times (my

son lives there) and their water is absolutely fine. The gardens love it: there is a wildlife sanctuary with animals from all parts of the world and they love it.

You drink it happily albeit takes a few days to get used to a slightly different taste to that our palate is used to. It does not change the taste of any whisky or brandy or whatever you enjoy.

All they do in Dubai and elsewhere is to desalinate the water. Question:

Why on earth do we not do the same with what lies at our shores? It is there for us at no cost, it will never disappear and we could fill our dams and lakes and keep them full forever.

If our current desalination procedures need upgrading, the personnel in Dubai will happily advise.

I hear the cry that it is too expensive!

Really?

gender-based violence.

We will continue as the Gender Commission through our outreach and legal programmes to educate and raise awareness about the scourge of genderbased violence in our communities.

We urge members of the public with information about acts of gender-based violence and abuse to call our toll-free number, 0800 007 709, to report such cases.

THE brouhaha around what President Trump said or did not say in the aftermath of the vile bigotry in Charlottesville defines his persona.

Here is a man who has an inflated opinion of himself and his importance, and who is impulsive and autocratic while craving admiration in so doing.

He is a proponent of epizeuxis for effect of persuasion and impression, but fails in this regard as his pronouncements that follow are puerile, insincere, lacking in substance and are meaningless.

Trump should heed the Latin apophthegm qualis vir, talis oratio (one reveals oneself by the way one speaks)!

Leaders in it for loot​ OUR president spent R247 million on Nkandla, and it has now emerged that Zimbabwe’s first lady, Grace Mugabe, has purchased a R45 million property in South Africa.

The political leaders of most First World countries are already very rich before entering office and don’t take the job for the money, while the same can’t be said of the majority of African leaders. Most African leaders become very wealthy while in office, at the expense of the majority of the people they “lead”. Take South Africa and Zimbabwe as examples.

The masses are forced to eke out a living on meagre wages, live in shanty towns without water or electricity, and often go to bed hungry. The Mugabe sons lived in a R70 000-a-month flat in Joburg (they were kicked out after a drunken brawl) and last year their daddy bought a R58 million property in Zimbabwe.

What is wrong with us in Africa and, more importantly, why do we let these leaders get away with this kind of sickening thing? It is understandable that the politically connected, cronies and family members will turn a blind eye to this large-scale corruption, but why do the masses, who receive nothing from these leaders, continue to allow them to lead?

I, for one, will never understand this. The situation in Africa vis-a-vis billionaire leaders vs dirt-poor subjects will never cease to amaze me.

Great achievement MELIKAYA NONYUKELA, a member of the United National Transport Union (Untu), who represented South Africa in the World Draughts Championship in the United States, made us proud by ending in third place at the end of the tournament.

With this excellent achievement, Nonyukela qualified to participate in the next World Draughts Championships in 2019.

Nonyukela says he would have loved to have won, but he knew it was his first time participating on an international level.

However, he is very proud of his achievement.

“I feel very good to read my name now as one of the top three,” he says.

Nonyukela, 43, a member of the transport union, is a shore crane operator at Transnet’s Port of Ngqura, 20km north-east of Port Elizabeth.

New menu at PSFA​ WITH the start of the third quarter of the 2017 school year, over 300 000 youths fed by the Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA) will not be eating bread.

Instead, learners from the ages of six months to 19 years will enjoy a menu of fortified mealie meal for breakfast and a warm plate of food for lunch every school day. The PSFA is an NPO which has been providing meals to schoolchildren in the Western Cape for almost 60 years. Their menu, which has changed over the years, now does not include bread.

“When first established, the PSFA’s daily meal was soup and a slice of bread, sometimes with jam or peanut butter.

This provided only about 15% of a child’s energy requirements and very little of the daily protein and nutrients needed,” says Laura Berry a dietician who worked with the PSFA. Today, the PSFA school feeding menu includes more than 10 different food items every week – including proteins such as soy, omega 3-rich fish, and beans. Carbohydrates include samp and

rice while fruit and vegetables such as carrots, cabbages, fresh oranges and apples are served daily. The cost of the daily meal is R2.50 per child per day. ​Blisters for Bread, which was started in 1968 by concerned staff and pupils at Savio College in Lansdowne and handed over to the PSFA to manage, has grown from strength to strength and has become a highlight on the Cape Town events calendar.

The PSFA relies on donations and external funding to support its work. The annual Blisters for Bread fun run raises funds to support the PSFA in their work.

All funds raised in this huge event will go towards feeding children.

“The entry fee of R50 will feed 20 children per day, none of it is used for administration or other costs,” explains Charles Grey, fundraising manager for PSFA.“The ‘Blisters for Bread’ event has quite an ironic name seeing that we do not serve bread any more but this event is a ‘staple’ in our fundraising efforts,” he quips.

Blisters for Bread takes place on August 27 at the Green Point Stadium.

Manana not excused THE commission for Gender Equality (CGE) welcomes the resignation of Higher Education and Training Deputy Minister Mduduzi Manana.

Upon his acknowledgement that he had assaulted Ms Mandisa Duma at the

Cubana Nightclub in Fourways, the Gender Commission was vociferous in its calls for Mr Manana to either be suspended or dismissed.

While acknowledging his resignation, the commission believes this has come a little too late.

Consequently, this has created an unfortunate impression that the government is morally ambivalent about and indifferent to the seriousness of gender-based violence.

Mr Manana’s resignation should not be considered exoneration for the common assault and grievous bodily harm with which he has been charged.

Justice must be served for the victims of this attack.

Even if he remains an ordinary Member of Parliament, the law must take its course as his resignation as deputy minister does not exonerate him from crimes that he must answer to.

As an institution empowered by the constitution “to promote respect for gender equality and the protection, development and attainment of gender equality”, this places upon the commission the burden to ensure that our country observes the right of women to be protected against genderbased violence.

It is against this backdrop that we will continue in our endeavours to speak out against all forms of violence against women and children, irrespective of the identity and position of the perpetrators.

The commission appeals to both the public and private sector and society at large not to tolerate people who commit

A DELEGATION of Israeli Members of Parliament (Knesset) is currently on an official visit to South Africa and has met with leaders across the South African political spectrum, including the ANC, DA, Cope, ACDP, IFP and FF+.

The delegation also met with Jewish and Christian organisations, as well as the business community.

The South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) and South African Zionist Federation (SAZF), representing the overwhelming majority of South African Jewry, have long maintained that the relationship between South Africa and Israel is to the benefit of both countries.

South Africa, with its own history of successful conflict resolution, can play a unique role in helping bring about a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

To this end, the meetings with the Knesset delegation were open and frank. All of the interactions have been positive, constructive and engaging.

Israel has offered to share its expertise in agriculture, water, high-tech, cybersecurity, health and education.

The delegation, in turn, was inspired by the lessons learned from South Africa’s transformation and found the insights helpful.

This visit by members of the Knesset reaffirms the importance of dialogue.

As the SAJBD and SAZF, we believe that the conversations held this week will undoubtedly result in strengthened relations between the two countries and lead to further constructive engagement.

IFP meets Knesset​ THE Inkatha Freedom Party joined various opposition parties in Cape Town today to meet with a visiting delegation of members from the Israeli Knesset. IFP Parliamentary Caucus chairperson, Professor CT Msimang MP and Mr Jan Esterhuizen MP were accompanied by IFP law adviser, Advocate Anthony Mitchell and by Mr Cyril Kern, a long-time friend of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

Said Prof CT Msimang, “It was a pleasure to welcome and meet with our colleagues from the Knesset and to interact with them on the most pressing issues, not only in Israel, but also here in South Africa. We engaged in a frank and intense dialogue.

“We also had the pleasure of welcoming the new Israeli Ambassador to South Africa, His Excellency, Lior Keinan. We look forward to continuing a conversation with the ambassador and with our colleagues in the Knesset, as the IFP believes in keeping the doors of dialogue open.

“The IFP maintains that solutions can only be achieved through constructive and peaceful engagement on both sides, and that a two state solution should continue to be pursued.”

‘Mixing of waters’ symbolises unity in Lipton Cup Challenge ELEVEN young teams from different cultural backgrounds started to compete for the country’s most valuable, national inter-club sailing trophy, the Lipton Cup Challenge yesterday.

Defending champions Royal Cape Yacht Club won the first of six days.

Each winter, yacht clubs from South Arica,Namibia and Mozambique, are invited to enter one team each in the legendary challenge. It was initiated by the well-known tea merchant Sir Thomas Lipton in 1909.

This year 11 yachts of the model L26 sail out of Table Bay Harbour and into the open ocean for six days in a row.

The Royal Cape Yacht Club, as defending champions and host club, skippered by Roger Hudson, will have to face 10 visiting clubs’ endeavours to earn enough points to topple their three-year reign.

The challenging clubs and skippers are Langebaan Yacht Club (skipper: Alec Webb), UCT Yacht Club (Alex Bur-

ger), Defence Force Yacht Club (Alex Strauss), Theewaters Sports Club (Mike Brown), False Bay Yacht Club (Daniel Lawrence), Zeekoevlei Yacht Club (Heidi Burger), Imperial Yacht Club (Lorenzo Yon), Hout Bay Yacht Club (Theo Yon), Milnerton Aquatic Club (Iliana Boura) and Lake Deneys Yacht Club (Richard Wiederhold).

Although the race is highly competitive, the message is one of fairness and unity.

Every L26 yacht is checked and weighed according to strict rules, and every team can only weigh 420kg in total.

The result is an effort to eliminate bias and measure only sailing skill – something every crew member will need to rely on during the days of racing in the temperamental Cape seas.

The event is not just an average sailing race.

First there was the symbolic “mixing of the waters” ritual Saturday

afternoon at the Lipton Cup Challenge Opening Ceremony at the Royal Cape Yacht Club.

Waters brought from each of the competing yacht clubs were mixed into one bowl and poured into Table Bay, to signify unity, fairness, sportsmanship and respect for one another as well as for nature’s elements.

The Lipton Cup Challenge will unite sailors from all walks of life, who will be spending this week shoulder to shoulder, hoping to bring home the trophy every young South African sailor dreams about.

As this is a public event, co-hosted by the City of Cape Town, everyone is invited to watch the action from the Royal Cape Yacht Club (Duncan Road, Table Bay Harbour) every day until Friday, and enjoy post-race recaps by some of SA’s most experienced sailing experts every afternoon at 5pm.

Ours is far from being a paperless society, but this brings benefits Samantha Choles BOXES. Labels. Books. Your child’s first report card. A tissue for their first heartbreak. All made from paper; a renewable, recyclable material that is an inextricable, often invisible part of our lives.

Think about it: from the moment we wake up to when we nod off with a book in hand, paper is there.

In a world that strives to go paperless, often for the wrong environmental reasons, the paper industry firmly believes that paper is making a comeback in some quarters, and that it is here to stay.

The Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa (Pamsa) shares the reasons why paper is good for us, our economy and our environment.

1. It’s versatile Paper is categorised into three principal types – printing and writing, packaging and tissue – and chances are that we use each kind every day.

Paper in its most common form – white copy paper – could be the start of something, a blank canvas, a new project or design, your first book.

A variety of printing and writing papers help to communicate and inform through news and advertising, the label on the coffee jar, the medicine box insert and the monthend supermarket specials.

Paper also educates – from your child’s first reader to their last matric exam.

Paper packages and protects.

From our eggs, teabags and cereal, milk and juice in cartons, to medicine and cosmetics. And let’s not forget that new computer equipment for the office.

From the best-seller of your favourite author to a night at the movies with popcorn, a drink and a box of chocolates, paper entertains.

Facial and toilet tissue, kitchen towel and baby and feminine products help to improve our lives through convenience and hygiene.

2. It’s renewable Paper is produced from farmed trees. Some 600 million trees are grown over 762 000ha for the very purpose of making pulp and paper.

“If it wasn’t for commercially grown trees, our indigenous forests would have been eradicated years ago to meet our fibre, fuel and furniture needs,” explains Pamsa executive director Jane Molony. “Sustainable commercial forests have a vital role to play in curbing deforestation and mitigating climate change.”

As with most agricultural crops, trees are planted in rotation. Once mature – after seven to 11 years – they are harvested. But only 9% of the total plantation area is felled annually. New saplings are planted in the same year, at an average rate of 260 000 new trees a day, or one-

and-a-half saplings per harvested tree. This is what makes the paper we source from wood renewable.

3. It’s recyclable Recovered paper – the paper and cardboard from our recycling bins – is a valuable raw material and South Africa has been using it as an alternative fibre in papermaking since 1920.

Given that land suitable for the commercial growing of trees is limited, virgin fibre is supplemented with recovered paper.

On the other hand, an injection of virgin fibre is also needed in the papermaking process because paper fibres shorten and weaken each time they are recycled.

In 2016, 68.4% of recoverable paper was recycled – recoverable paper excludes the likes of books and archived records, and items that are contaminated or destroyed when used, like tissue hygiene products and cigarette paper.

South Africa’s paper recovery rate has increased by 2% year on year, and is well above the global average of 58% (2015).

4. It’s good for the environment Working forests provide clean air, clean water and the managed conservation of wetlands, grasslands and biodiversity.

Farmed trees are efficient carbon sinks. Every year, South Africa’s commercial forests are estimated

to capture 20 million tons of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, in turn releasing 15 million tons of life-giving oxygen… Memory jog back to that primary school science lesson on photosynthesis.

The carbon remains locked up even after the wood is chipped, pulped and made into the many items we use every day.

This is a good reason to recycle as it keeps this carbon locked up for even longer. Sent to landfill, paper will naturally degrade along with wet waste and add to unnecessary emissions.

Recycling is a space saver too: one ton of paper saves three cubic metres of landfill space – and the associated costs. Some 1.4 million tons of recyclable paper and paper packaging were diverted from landfill in 2016.

This is equivalent to the weight of 280 000 African elephants. The same volume would cover 254 soccer fields or fill 1 680 Olympic-sized swimming pools!

The South African pulp and paper industry avoids 1,3 million tons of carbon emissions from fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) through the use of renewable biomass-based energy. Emissions are also offset by the trees grown for papermaking.

5. It’s good for the economy Not only does pulp and paper production add around R3.8 billion to the South African economy annu-

ally, the growing and harvesting of trees, making of paper products and recycling them provides sustainable jobs for thousands of people.

Let’s not forget the jobs of engineers and researchers who design advanced technologies and processes that make pulping, papermaking and paper recycling more energy and water-efficient, and the artisans and operators who keep paper production moving.

Add to this the downstream value chains which rely on paper to produce their products, including printing and publishing, media, marketing and advertising, and the myriad sectors which use paperbased packaging to protect their goods during transit.

“Any which way you look at it, paper, tissue and paper-based packaging are essential, and this is a good thing – for our economy and for our environment,” says Molony.

“Invented some 2 000 years ago, paper is one of the oldest ‘technologies’ with research, development and innovation continuing the world over to make more efficient use of trees, recycled paper, water and energy.

“Paper is a great story.” For more visit the Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa website www.thepaperstory. co.za and The Paper Recycling Association of South Africa website www.recyclepaper.co.za

ACCESS TO SUCCESS CAMPAIGN ​

UWC bursaries aid needy students Harriet Box THE cost of living is rising every day, food prices are sky-rocketing, the petrol price is continually rising and textbooks aren’t getting any cheaper.

And students are feeling the brunt of these economic challenges, irrespective of the provision of financial aid.

It all adds to the stress of studying, especially for those who can’t call home for help.

That’s why UWC launched the Access To Success campaign, which focuses on providing much-needed funding to students who are performing well academically, but who cannot afford university fees.

Samantha Castle, manager of the UWC Alumni Office, said the university had launched the campaign to curb the tendency of students quitting their studies because they couldn’t keep up with the financial demands of studying.

Access To Success started last year when more than R1 million was raised in the phonathon linked to the campaign. This year the phonathon started August 7 and will continue until August 31.

“With issues of higher education and the sustainability of universities in South Africa under an intense spotlight, the public’s support of our university is more important than ever.

“Last year, the focus was on calling on alumni, staff, corporates and friends of the university to assist students by donating, but this year we’re extending this invitation to the wider public.”

The Access to Success campaign consists of a public media fund-raising campaign and an alumni phonathon gearedtowards staff and alumni to pledge towards the campaign.

To date 93 students have benefited. Students apply for this funding through UWC’s financial aid office.

“The UWC personifies hope and resilience.

“Many of our alumni have made a lasting contribution to society,

BIG DREAMS: Philisa Mzuku is one of the recipients of the UWC’s Access to Success campaign. After completing her studies she wants to travel the world, do research and give back to other needy students. often in spite of less than ideal circumstances. They have proven that with access to quality education, anything is possible.

“And we want to help others get the chance to prove it as well.”

One of the recipients of the campaign is Philisa Mzuku.

She didn’t have any funding for her studies in psychology and communications, but UWC’s Access to Success campaign solved that problem.

Now in her final year as a BA student, Mzuku’sstudies have been

a fascinating experience and also a challenging one because of financial difficulties.

“In my first and second year I didn’t have any funding for my studies.

“There were times when I didn’t attend class because I simply didn’t have the money for it.

“But the Access to Success campaign has really reduced the burden and helped me focus on my studies,” said Mzuku, 20.

The Cape Town resident lives with her family, her mother, father

and four siblings (she’s the secondborn and also the second one to go to university).

After matriculating from Inkwenkwezi Secondary School, she decided to study at UWC for two reasons: the swift response to her application and the fact that her sister was already at the university, studying nursing.

“I could adapt so much better since she was leading me and helped me in every new step on my path, as a new student at UWC.” But having a sibling as a fellow

student didn’t help with one important aspect: the significant challenges she faced on the financial front.

“We struggled a lot because I am not the only one who had to make use of transport when attending school every day and I also didn’t have assistance when it came to food.

“My dad was the only one working and the money meant for food was mostly spent on buying textbooks and course readers, and we both have other siblings, who need money and make demands around

some of their own needs.”

The distance Mzuku had to travel from home to school via taxi and train made it even harder for her.

At home she didn’t have a laptop or phone to work on her studies, or a space to study, and the environment wasn’t ideal for studying.

She would have to wake up early to get to campus to get all her work done and get home safely.

“Gangsterism is all around where I live and therefore it is wise to go home early, even though I do

not always have a chance to complete my assignment on time.”

Mzuku was overjoyed when selected by the university and was awarded a bursary.

“I had R50 000 in student debt.

“Access to Success helped me by offering R15 000 to reduce my debt.

“I thank the donors for their assistance. This has motivated me to focus on my studies more than I did before.”

Mzuku plans to continue her studies next year by enrolling for a Honours degree at the Institute for Social Development, a research institute with a long-standing and successful postgraduate programme in development studies.

“If I don’t qualify, I want to do an internship or start working in the language communication studies field, media or journalism – something that has to do with communication. And after that?

“I want to get a job that will satisfy my needs and I want to travel the world conducting research.

“In 10 years I see myself as someone successful and a motivator, or a role model to many.

“I dream of helping other kids, who never get a chance to have access to education.”

Mzuku has joined a community non-profit organisation that assists high school students with going to university or other tertiary education programmes.

She acknowledges the role models in her life, especially her mother.

“She made me believe in myself and keeps on encouraging me to be fearful of being average and to strive for the best in each and every opportunity I encounter.

“She is not highly educated, but she always tells me to put education first and I think she is the reason all of her children are studying now.”

Be a part of the drive to save lives by registering as an organ or tissue donor​​ Samantha Nicholls SOUTH AFRICA is a nation of champions and world firsts. The first heart transplant was performed 50 years ago by world-renowned surgeon Christiaan Barnard at Groote Schuur Hospital on December 3, 1967.

South Africa is still considered a leader in the field of transplantation. We are known for our worldclass transplant centres around the country with academic hospitals training fellows from all over the world and especially Africa.

We have many other proud recent firsts, including the first HIV-positive donor to HIV-positive kidney recipient transplant performed by professor Elmi Muller of UCT and her team at Groote Schuur Hospital.

The first penis transplant was performed by professor André van der Merwe and his team at Tygerberg Hospital in December 2014, also a world first.

Despite these achievements, the public are slow to register as organ and tissue donors and most shockingly are not prepared to donate despite being willing to receive if they need a life-saving organ.

Surveys performed by the Organ Donor Foundation this year indicate that 71% are not willing to donate their organs yet 77% would accept an organ.

Alarmingly, only 8 000 of the 50 000 citizens that should be receiving dialysis are being treated in the country. That means 44 000 people are left to die, or simply don’t know they are suffering from renal failure.

A simple choice is that by signing up as an organ and tissue donor you can change that.

Kidney transplantation is an easy and very cost-effective alternative to dialysis.

South Africa has world-class facilities in both the state and private sectors. There is no reason why we should have one of the lowest percentages of transplants performed in the world.

We could all be part of our drive to save 1 000 lives today by registering as an organ and tissue donor.

Registering as an organ and tissue donor is a wise thing to do. ​ The Organ Donor Foundation (ODF) is a non-profit charity established in 1988 with the aim of addressing the critical shortage of organ and tissue donors in South

Africa.

As the national umbrella body for the promotion of organ and tissue donation, the ODF is actively involved in educational and publicity programmes directed at the public.

We measure our success of public awareness with our database of registered organ donors.

Visit the ODF website at www.odf. org.za or call toll free on 0800 22 66 11 to register.

You will receive an information pack with an organ donor card and stickers.

Most importantly, we ask you to discuss your decision with your family. Ask them to please “say yes” to organ donation. Nicholls is the Organ Donor Foundation executive director

FIRST HEART South needs to curb his instincts; he must play low from dummy on the first heart. If West shifts to a diamond, South can win, draw trumps, lead the king of hearts to ruff out East’s ace, and pitch two clubs on high hearts. He loses one trick in each side suit.

East can’t prevail by overtaking with the ace of hearts at Trick One for a club shift. Then South gets three diamond discards on the hearts.

I am convinced that winning players have sound fundamental skills and avoid silly errors. My 24th book, “Keys to Winning Bridge,” is written for advancing players and focuses on factors that really determine who wins and loses.

Against four spades, West leads the ten of hearts, and South instinctively plays dummy’s king.

When East wins, he shifts to clubs.

West gets two clubs, and South also loses a diamond.

News in Brief Ready for market inquiry into data costs​ IT’S ALL SYSTEMS go for the market inquiry into data services after the Competition Commission published the terms of reference of the probe in the Government Gazette on Friday. Parliament heard last year during public hearings that South Africa’s data costs are among the highest in the world. The public hearings were necessitated by public and social media outrage against network providers under the #DataMustFall hashtag. The commission then initiated the inquiry after a request by the Minister of Economic Development, Ebrahim Patel, who in May also expressed concerns over the high cost of data and highlighted the importance of data affordability. At the time, Patel said he would request the Competition Commission to conduct a market inquiry into this sector, and “to work with other regulators to establish the facts, identify measures to reduce data costs and make recommendations to the government”. The commission said it believes that there were features in this market that prevent, distort or restrict competition within the sector.

Through the inquiry, the commission said it aims to determine what may cause or lead to high data prices with a view to ultimately making recommendations that would result in lower prices for data services. The publication of the terms of reference officially sets off the process for the inquiry into the sector to begin. The commission will call for submissions after 20 business days. – ANA

Zim Reserve Bank wants 80% of forex earnings THE RESERVE Bank of Zimbabwe has ordered platinum and chrome miners to surrender 80 percent of their export earnings to the central bank as the country struggles to contain a crippling dollar note shortage. Previously min­ers in the country were required to retain 50 percent of their earnings. Mining is the single largest earner of foreign currency in Zimbabwe, making up 62 percent of total exports in 2016. “…with immediate effect, 80 percent of all foreign exchange receipts from platinum group metals and chrome shall be transferred to the Reserve Bank Nostro Account on receipt,” a central bank directive dated August 4 said. The bank said the measure was to ensure effective administration of foreign exchange and spread liquidity in the foreign exchange market. In exchange the central bank will pay the exporter using real time gross settlement, crediting the exporter’s account with local currency. – Reuters

Edcon on the road to recovery

Analysis: Motorists set for steep hike in fuel prices Chris Harmse

C

Edcon has its best quarter​ Dineo Faku DESPITE Edcon’s total retail sales tanking 7.8 percent in the quarter to June to R5.5 billion as consumer disposable income remained depressed, South Africa’s struggling clothing retail giant started to show some green shoots of growth due to its turnaround strategy.

For the three months to June, Edcon increased its pro forma adjusted Ebidta, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, by 12.7 percent from R314 million to R354m, which made it the group’s best period since the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the company said on Friday.

Edcon’s chief executive, Bernie Brookes, said: “Our strategic repositioning and transformation process has started indicating the green shoots of change.

“These results demonstrate the initial indicators of our turnaround plan.

“Edgars and Jet delivered better customer service scores, an improvement in retail sales performance and there was excellent cost containment throughout Edcon.”

Edcon, whose brands include Jet, Edgars and Boardmans, blamed the weak sales on subdued consumer demand, fierce price competition and a warm winter season marginally offset by a shift in Easter from the fourth quarter 2017 to the first quarter 2018.

Edcon has lost market share in recent years in the clothing division to local retailers such as Mr Price and international newcomers including H&M and Cotton On. Brookes said the domestic business environment had deteriorated during the quarter with lower volume growths combined with input cost inflation, which impacted on the sector’s profitability.

“Underlying consumer demand remains weak on the

New management It is under new management after private equity firm Bain Capital agreed to a debt for equity swap deal valued at $1.5bn last year.

The retailer said on Friday that despite the negative macro-economic influences, like-for-like retail sales were 1.4 percent lower with positive retail sales growth in certain merchandise categories, including ladies wear and homeware

in both Edgars and Jet. The company said it was in a better space after implementing a turnaround plan last year, including a merchandise strategy that entailed rationalising suppliers and introducing new inventory.

Edcon’s total revenues decreased by R394m, or 6.1 percent, to R6.04bn in the first quarter. It also recognised a loss after tax of R697m.

Ron Kiplin, a portfolio manager at Johannesburg-based Cratos Wealth, said on Friday that the results were the latest indication that Edcon was in a turnaround mode.

“They (Edcon) have sold a lot of dead stock and turned it into

cash,” he said.

Kiplin also said the company was starting to focus on its own brands, a move which would generate cash.

“Own brands yield higher margins than international brands,” he said, referring to a move by the company to cut the number of its international brands and the closure of stores.

In terms of the lower sales, Kiplin said this was worse than peers like Truworths.

However, he said, it was no good having retail sales on the up when you were losing money, citing the cash inflow of R525m versus the net outflow of R374m in the first quarter of 2017.

Gordhan ruling brings into question legality of IMC Kabelo Khumalo THE JUDGMENT in the North Gauteng High Court on Friday that found that it was not required by law for members of the cabinet to mediate in disputes between banks and their clients brought into question the legality of the inter-ministerial committee (IMC) set up last year for such a purpose.

Former finance minister Pravin Gordhan had approached the court last year asking for a declaratory order confirming that he did not have the authority to intervene in relationships between banks and their clients, after the Gupta family asked him to intervene when a major South African bank closed their accounts, citing concerns of “reputational risks”.

Judge Aubrey Ledwaba, in dismissing the application by Gordhan, said there was no statute that empowered a member of the national executive, such as the minister, to intervene in a private bankclient dispute.

“It is not appropriate for a member of the national executive to draw the judiciary into the exercise of his executive functions as evidenced in this application. To grant the minister the declaratory relief would allow the judiciary to stray into the exercise of executive functions where the circumstances do not warrant this involvement,” the judgment read.

In April last year, the cabinet established the IMC to consider claims that certain banks and other financial institutions acted unilaterally and allegedly in collusion when they closed bank accounts and/or terminated contractual relationships with Oakbay Investments.

The IMC was chaired by Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane, with Gordhan and Labour Minister Mildred

ernment interference and appealed for protection against executive interference in the bank, detailing the extensive political pressure it came under from the ANC, cabinet ministers and Oakbay after it closed the company’s accounts.

Present at the meeting with the cabinet and the IMC were Zwane, Oliphant and Mzwanele Manyi, whom the bank said came wearing the cap of a ministerial adviser. While named in the IMC, Gordhan, according to Zwane, never attended its meetings.

Pierre de Vos, a constitutional law expert, said the work of the IMC was illegal from the outset.

“The court found that it was so obviously illegal that it was not even going to pronounce on the matter,” De Vos said.

Family’s conduct

The high court found that former finance minister Pravin Gordhan was not in law required to intervene in a commercial dispute arising from Standard Bank closing the Guptas’ business accounts, citing reputational risk concerns.

Local banks, the Bank of China and the Bank of Baroda recently cut ties with the Gupta facility.​ Oliphant as members.

Zwane later issued a statement calling on the president to consider establishing a judicial inquiry to consider the mandates of the Banking Tribunal and the banking ombudsman.

This was because the evidence presented to the IMC indicated that all the actions taken by the banks and financial institutions were as a result of innuendo and potentially reckless media statements, and as a South African company, Oakbay had little recourse to the law.

President Jacob Zuma and the cabinet later distanced themselves from Zwane’s pronouncements and said there was no such cabinet decision.

Cas Coovadia, the managing director of the Banking Association of SA, said the judgment removed the apparent misconception that any member of the

national executive, including the minister of finance, is obliged to intervene in commercial disputes.

“Basa remains concerned regarding the apparent motives of the ministers of labour and mineral resources to establish an alleged and, according to the judgment, “contrary to law” inter-ministerial committee to interfere in this matter.

Both ministers should be held to account in providing reasonable explanations of their apparent actions,” Coovadia said.

In its affidavit, supporting Gordhan’s court action, Standard Bank laid bare the gov-

Friday’s victory by the Guptas marked a second victory against Gordhan. The family and its conglomerate of companies managed to have the court strike out the certificate issued by the Financial Intelligence Centre, referring to 72 transactions involving the Guptas and companies affiliated with them as part of Gordhan’s application.

Besides the local banks, the Bank of China and the Bank of Baroda also recently cut ties with the Gupta facility and their group of companies.

Judge Ledwaba said while the Guptas in their presentation to the court had agreed that the minister did not need the declaratory order, the court noted with concern the family’s conduct.

“We note with concern, though, that while the Oakbay Group knows and has conceded the legal position regarding the powers and functions of the minister, they persisted in their requests to him for assistance.

Edcon, South Africa’s biggest retailer, made changes as its 100-year-old competitor, Stuttafords, closed shop this month.

“People are not interested in Stuttafords because of the legacy model and Edcon has recognised that this business model has had its day and has repositioned itself to become appropriate to current circumstances.

Early days yet , with more hard work to be done, however, it looks to be on the right track.

Earlier this year, the National Consumer Tribunal found Edcon had unlawfully charged club fees to its credit customers. It is required to refund consumers.

Who of the two Ma’s will be Asia’s richest person?

JACK MA, the charismatic head of Alibaba, and Ma Huateng, chief executive of Tencent, are locked in a tense race to become the richest person in China and Asia.

With market values of more than $300 billion (R3.94 trillion) each, Alibaba and Tencent are now China’s biggest companies, a stark contrast to just five years ago when no tech company even made the top 10.

Anyone seeking to decode the secrets behind the rise of the two stellar companies could do worse than just look around any Beijing subway carriage.

Almost every passenger, young or old, white collar or construction worker, is very likely to have their eyes fixed on a smartphone screen. And they are not just playing Tencent’s popular game Honor of Kings, or chatting with friends.

They order groceries, transfer money, watch movies, read books, book holidays, or even manage their stock market portfolios.

As in many other areas of the economy, the scale and speed of the change in China’s digital sector, the mobile internet in particular, is staggering.

More than 750 million Chinese, more than half the population, are now online, 96 percent of them via smartphone, according to the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).

ONSUMERS are in for a shock in September as it is expected that petrol, diesel and illuminated paraffin prices will increase sharply.

Both the factors that determine to a great extent the prices for fuel at the pump, namely the landed international price as well as the rand exchange rate, have turned to the upside since the Central Energy Fund announced the adjustments at the beginning of August.

The combination of these two has pushed the under-recovery for petrol, diesel and paraffin to levels between 40 cents and 61 cents per litre since July 28.

An under-recovery means that if the international oil price and the rand/$ exchange rate remain at their current levels, the prices for fuel will increase by those margins during the first week in September.

For petrol 95, the under-recovery between July 27 and August 17 was 61c/l.

Contributed Of this, the landed international price contributed 56c and the weaker rand 5c.

For petrol 93, the under-recovery over the same time period was 58c, while the change in the international import price contributed 53c.

The price for diesel is currently 49c, under-recovered with the international landed price for diesel contributing 44c/l. The price for illuminated paraffin is 53c/l under-recovered.

These expected increases follow increases of 19c/l for petrol, 29c/l for diesel and 35c/l in the retail price of paraffin on August 2.

If the fuel prices increase by the current under-recovery values in two weeks’ time, the petrol price of 95 octane in Gauteng will then cost R13.66/l.

This is 149c/l higher than the R12.17/l on September 27 last year. This is an increase, year-on-year, of 12 percent.

At the coast the price will increase to R13.16/l. For diesel the price will increase to R11.75/l in Gauteng. This is an increase of 126 c/l and also 12 percent per litre on the R10.49c/l of a year ago.

At the coast the price for diesel will increase to R11.36c/l.

Given the big weight of 4.6 percent, the price for fuel contributes to the inflation rate. Such a large increase (year-on-year) is likely to have a big effect on the overall inflation rate in September. This may contribute towards a decision by the the SA Reserve Bank not to decrease the repo rate soon.

Opinion&Analysis

zz QUOTE OF THE DAY: If your actions inspire others to dream more,

learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. – John Quincy Adams, US statesman and president.

Development finance institutions crucial to growth Pricing caps ECONOMY DRIVEN Themba Mathe

A

STORY is told about how, in campaigning to ensure that Bill Clinton became US president, his campaign manager James Carville summarised the issues facing America in one phrase: “It is the economy, stupid.”

Carville’s phrase has become iconic among political agenda-makers. It is not difficult to see why. The economy informs almost every other area of social and political life in society.

In South Africa it is the bedrock upon which our previous state was built and it will be the cornerstone of a new state that we can create.

The much spoken about social cohesion and better race relations, the quality of education and health are all invariably linked to the strength or otherwise of the economy.

The economy might even have an answer to the unforgivable high incidence of violence against women and children that we are witnessing these days. It is, therefore, no great wonder that radical economic transformation has become the mantra of our times. Correctly so.

There is hardly any debate on the merits

of the need for the economy to be more inclusive, with only differences about which route to take. As a development finance institution, we believe we have a role and are determined to play it if South Africa is to yield the freedom dividend promised by the post 1994-era.

All South Africans should be concerned that we are in a technical recession after our gross domestic product contracted 0.7 percent in the first quarter of 2017, against a general consensus of 0.9 percent growth. This at the time when ratings agencies downgraded our credit rating one notch to BB+ recently‚ placing the country’s bonds in “speculative grade”, commonly called junk status.

South Africans have a choice to either throw their hands up in despair or to seek positives in these trying times. Entrepreneurial innovation and hard work will save the day. That said, the most innovative and the most diligent need support.

In the current economic climate, people correctly look to development finance institutions (DFIs) to support new entrants into the economy in order to reverse the negative trend.

These institutions mobilise financial resources for developmental purposes through investing in markets deemed too risky for the private sector to enter alone, but which are essential for the growth of the broader economy.

Thus, they initiate sustainable development by supporting opportunities that are not addressed by the market, and by providing risk capital to companies and individuals in partnership with the private sector. Once these markets are developed,

Bill Clinton went on to serve two terms as US president, following a successful economy-driven campaign. His campaign manager James Carville (pictured) summarised the issues facing America in one phrase: “It is the economy, stupid”.

Photo: Supplied the DFIs gradually withdraw and focus on developing other under-developed markets.

Even without economists saying so, the precarious economic situation is plain to see. Nearly everyone knows someone who is out of a job and looking for one. While South Africans differ on many issues, there is a common understanding that the

unemployment rate, in which young people make up the bulk, is simply too high.

This is unsustainable and a powder keg for future social stability.

Unemployment has the effect of creating inter-generational poverty, because of parents who are unable to keep their children in school or afford further training

and education institutions.

Having accepted that economic inclusion is necessarily about bringing aboard those previously excluded from the mainstream economy and the unending possibilities, we support the government’s stated programme of creating black industrialists.

We are one with the Department of Trade and Industry when it says: “The state has a moral obligation to creatively harness national resources towards the resolution of the historical injustice of racial, gender and class exclusion in all spheres of life.

“In the realm of economic life, this implies the need to transform the patterns of asset ownership in a manner that reinforces the national objective of building a society that truly belongs to all who live in it. This derives from the recognition that the bulk of industrial assets in South Africa have, until now, been racially concentrated, thereby generating uneven social and economic relations that undermine this national objective.”

The road to economic recovery and to South Africa reaching its enormous potential lies with all of us playing our roles, whether as entrepreneurs, young people, women or community co-operatives.

The state has set up the policy framework and through development finance corporations, such as Ithala, created facilities to help upcoming entrepreneurs and co-operatives to participate in the economy, lifting themselves and their communities out of poverty, creating jobs and closing the inequality gap.

Revitalising towns and villages has become essential POPULATION ​BALANCE​

Phumulo Masualle

A

LL CITIZENS should be treated equally. There should be a balance between rural and urban communities, a choice whether to live in urban or rural Eastern Cape and basic services should be available to all our citizens.

Unfortunately there have been many common challenges facing rural areas.

For many years there has been inadequate support and a prolonged pattern of declining town centres and increasing regional gaps in the quality of life.

Looking after the economic health of our rural areas is critical.

Rapid urbanisation due to lack of opportunity in these areas has its own set of negative socio-economic issues, such as unemployment, poverty and housing shortages.

The challenges facing our country’s rural small towns include: nOverloaded old and collapsing infrastructure. nLack of capacity in infrastructure development and maintenance. nSmall towns are not attracting new private investment. nNew private investment is constrained by lack of public land transfer and including tenure issues. nThere are typically poor relationships between municipalities and business and ratepayers. nProvincial government support has been rather fragmented.

Indeed, authorities in many rural areas are struggling to keep people in places where they were born and have grown up.

Younger people leave the villages and small

towns to pursue careers in capital cities.

Rural migration to the urban areas is on the rise for income opportunities and better living conditions.

They are migrating for quality human development, particularly educational and health care facilities.

The result is a spiral of decline in services and infrastructure in rural zones, which in turn exacerbates the problem of supporting an ageing population.

In the small and rural towns, income generating opportunities are few, poverty is pervasive, agriculture has turned expensive and poor social status is pulling people back from getting their children educated to aspire for a better life.

Disorder Indeed, unemployment in rural towns and villages remains disproportionately high.

The result has been that mega-cities thrive at the expense of rural communities; an option that few provincial governments find politically acceptable.

Rapid urbanisation is creating disorder in city life.

City authorities are finding it difficult to ensure utility services like water supply, sanitation and hygienic housing, forcing people to make their own means and live in rented slums.

I believe that local communities must be actively mobilised and intimately involved in developing a blueprint for revitalising their towns and villages.

For example, researches and studies by Statistics South Africa have highlighted the financial and job benefits that arise from the conservation and restoration of historic buildings and the retention of historic streetscapes.

These benefits include not only strengthened tourism and other economic sectors, and the increased likelihood of investment, but also the general sense of wellbeing that people derive from living in an attractive, healthy environment.

That is why as a nation we need a good balance between our urban and rural popu-

An unemployed man holds up a self-made advertising board offering his services at a traffic intersection. In the small and rural towns of South Africa, income generating opportunities are few and poverty is pervasive, says the writer.

Taking work to the people’s doorsteps is easier than handling the displaced people in cities looking for jobs. In our view jobs will give income to create prosperous families away from urban congested life.

A small town or rural area that can offer a good job, quality education and health care, access to the global communities via the Internet, a clean environment, low crime, low housing costs, easy commute, and a walkable community where you know your neighbours is desirable.

Also, there must be an environment of inclusivity where anyone with an interest in entrepreneurship is welcome to contribute to the process.

Long view Here in the Eastern Cape we have come to terms with the fact that a successful entrepreneurial community cannot be built overnight and there must be a long view and commitment to enabling this to happen.

That is why we have adopted the implementation of an Integrated Small Towns Revitalisation Strategy which is supported with a budget of R552 million.

The overall goal is to reverse the

socio-economic decline of small towns through supporting municipalities in improving basic services provision. This is being underpinned by local economic development and youth empowerment.

The prioritised towns include Ntabankulu, Mt Ayliff, Bizana in the Alfred Nzo District, Alice in the Amathole district, Mount Fletcher in the Joe Gqabi district, Libode, Nqgeleni and Port St Johns in the OR Tambo district and Kirkwood in the Sarah Baartman district.

Criteria for the selection of towns for the programme are the following: Recognition of previous and current efforts, economic development potential and future impact, land availability and superfluous state buildings, tourism potential, transportation linkages, knowledge economy potential an geographic spread.

The main pillars of this strategy are infrastructure development, beautification and environmental management, local economic development, tourism, heritage and marketing.

We hope that this strategy will result in improved urban planning and public infrastructure, improving local economic benefits, youth empowerment and skills development and enhancing a deeper knowledge base on the design and delivery of effective small-town development

programmes.

We work with local communities with a view of providing them with funding, training and guidance. The programme provides grants for initiatives such as heritage interpretation and offers training, research and self-help documents for communities.

These features are also critical to the sense of place that local people feel. And they are vital to each place’s tourism infrastructure.

For example, in tourism, today’s cultural tourists want authentic experiences, so our programme involves cataloguing all historic and cultural attributes, and developing a plan for protecting and promoting the most interesting venues and activities.

We want more people to come to an appreciation of the hidden potential of their towns and villages. Their regeneration is based on appreciating and fulfilling the strengths of their natural and built heritage.

After all, heritage can act as a real economic driver. In the end, economic sustainability is about building linkages, keeping the money local and revitalising the economy.

The Multi-State Lottery Association runs Powerball for 44 US states as well as Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

The $535m jackpot that was up for grabs last Saturday ranked as the fifth-largest in the game’s 25year history.

The highest-ever Powerball jackpot was nearly $1.6bn in a draw that took place in January 2016.

BORROWING​ FINANCING Brett Van Aswegen

I

N THE YEAR since Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies promulgated new pricing caps on interest rates and fees for short-term credit agreements, it’s far from clear that they are having the desired effect.

While affordability assessments introduced in 2015 by the National Credit Regulator (NCR) have been very effective in protecting consumers and limiting debt stress, the value of the Department of Trade and Industry’s (dti’s) 2016 pricing caps is less evident.

Although the intention of price capping was to reduce the cost of borrowing for consumers, the likelihood is that it has instead driven borrowers into the arms of unregistered and unregulated lenders.

These lenders don’t play by the rules set out by the minister, and charge significantly higher interest rates and fees.

What the minister’s cuts on lending fees and interest rates mean is that it became unviable to lend to borrowers who fall into high-risk categories. The new pricing caps may effectively prevent these borrowers from obtaining credit altogether – at least in the regulated, formal market. Reckless lending has been on the increase in recent years, despite it being against the law.

In May, the National Consumer Tribunal informed Parliament’s trade and industry portfolio committee that in the 2015/16 financial year the number of reckless lending complaints had more than doubled to 19 097 cases from 9 589 in the previous period. The majority of these cases related to loan sharks, or unregistered lenders.

There are numerous situations in which people are desperate for a short-term loan to alleviate a crisis such as unexpected medical expenses, or covering unavoidable expenses like school fees or deposits.

Unable to get credit from reputable lenders, many desperate South Africans turn to loan sharks or “mashonisas”, who charge well above the interest rate prescribed by the minister.

Price capping regulations remain in force, despite a high court order having set them aside, pending the outcome of an appeal by the NCR and the minister against the judgment. It is worth noting that the reason the court set aside the regulations was that neither the minister, nor the NCR, could show they had meaningfully considered the effect of these caps on either the shortterm credit industry or on consumers.

The court questioned the lack of an impact assessment, as well as why the NCR had not followed recommendations laid out in a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) report it had commissioned.

The National Credit Act requires that fees be reviewed every three years, but fees went without revision for nine years. Being unable to recover their costs, many credit providers went out of business.

Despite the PwC report recommendation that service fees be increased from R50 to a maximum of R80.54, the regulator suggested a fee of R65 which the minister reduced, without explanation, to R60.

The court also found that the minister offered no explanation, beyond an unsubstantiated desire to reduce over-indebtedness, for reducing the maximum interest rates across different credit agreements.

International experience Drawing on Wonga’s experience in international markets, we find that even in a developed country such as the United Kingdom – where 80 percent of the population has access to credit – the maximum interest rate that can be charged on a short-term loan is 0.8 percent per day, up to a maximum of 100 percent of the loan amount.

This is significantly higher than the interest rate caps in South Africa, where comparable access to credit is as low as 38 percent. The NCA has now broadened its focus to assess other forms of credit, such as unarranged overdrafts and higher purchase agreements, for which costs can often be significantly higher than shortterm credit.

Compared to the daily interest rate cap of 0.8 percent in the UK, South Africa’s interest rate on short term credit is roughly 0.25 percent a day. Given the current economic constraints in South Africa, the question we need to pose is whether our rates are appropriate for our market.

Brett van Aswegen is the chief executive of Wonga South Africa. He has more than 20 years’ experience in the African retail credit and financial services industries.

Companies Investors are now tiptoeing back into Nigeria​ zz SHARE YOUR OPINION

Africa’s most populous country presents both significant opportunities and risks as market confidence has rebounded Kabelo Khumalo ALLAN Gray said last week that Nigeria’s equity market had surged 42 percent in US dollars since the bottom at the end of April 2017, while market confidence had rebounded following the introduction of a new foreign exchange regime.

With South African companies increasingly looking at the rest of Africa to boost their profits margins, Nigeria has proven to be a two-edged sword for entities looking at investing in Africa’s most populous country, presenting both significant opportunities and risks.

Nick Ndiritu, a portfolio manager for the Allan Gray

Africa ex-SA Equity Fund and Africa ex-SA Bond Fund, said last week: “The notable high volatility in Nigeria’s stock market has offered investors greater opportunities to generate superior returns – by patiently buying stocks that thrive when political or economic prospects appear dim; and selling the popular stocks when other investors are overly optimistic.”

He said Nigeria’s challenges would not be resolved overnight, but the outlook was promising and investors were coming back.

The country’s oil production was on a steady recovery path and US dollars were more read-

ily available.

But he said the investment case for Nigerian equities had been quite bleak at the beginning of this year after Nigeria’s oil production had slumped to the lowest level in more than 26 years as militant attacks in the Niger Delta crippled key pipeline installations.

Last year proved to be particularly hard for South African companies with a presence in Nigeria.

“Policymakers had imposed capital controls and were rationing scarce dollars. Inevitably, rent-seeking replaces most productive activities when an economy has 11 to 13 different rates for buying a US dollar.

Foreign investors, unable to repatriate existing funds, shunned Nigerian equities,” Ndiritu said.

Hotel and gaming group Sun International pulled out of Nigeria citing weak economic growth and clashes with regulators in the country.

Regulation Retailer Truworths exited the country, blaming stringent regulation of stock imports, foreign exchange controls and rising costs that made it difficult for the South African retailer to operate in the country.

Clover Industries also ended its operation in Nigeria last

year, citing the financial crisis caused by the fallen oil prices.

Mobile giant MTN had endured a love/hate relationship with Nigeria in the recent past after it posted its first loss in 20 years early this year due to a huge fine and currency challenges in its key markets.

The Nigerian authorities had slapped the group with a multi-billion rand fine in 2015 over its failure to disconnect unregistered mobile accounts in the country as the laws stipulated.

Nigeria is also investigating the telecoms giant over allegations that it illegally repatriated $14 billion (R184.05bn) from its operations in the country in the

past decade.

MTN has, however, indicated its plans to remain invested in the country and is currently finalising plans to list its shares on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

Retailer Shoprite is one of the South African companies that have weathered the storm in Nigeria and are doing fairly well. A recent study by Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the first quarter of 2017 was estimated to be $908 million in the first quarter of this year, the lowest in ten years. When compared to the $1.5bn that the economy attracted in the fourth

tives have led to a significant shift in the nature of FDI to the country,” the report said. It ranked Nigeria at number 17 in its attractiveness index.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its World Economic Outlook report released in July, projected that Nigeria’s economy would grow at a faster pace than South Africa’s next year.

The IMF projected that the West Africa country would grow by 1.9 percent next year, while it projected South Africa’s growth to be 1.2 percent.

Its projection for this year put South Africa’s growth at 1 percent, against Nigeria’s 0.8 percent.

ARB Holdings to build Gauteng home for electric division Sandile Mchunu

Sandile Mchunu JSE-LISTED African Oxygen (Afrox) share price climbed more than 7 percent after a release of a favourable trading update for the six months to end June.

The share price rose to its highest in three months at R20 a share and ended the day at that price. In the trading update the company said it expected its earnings per share (Eps) to be between 93 cents and 103c a share and this would be 20 percent and 32 percent higher than the 77.8c a share reported last year.

Afrox also expected to see its headlines earnings per share (Heps) to increase by between 20 percent and 33 percent.

“Headline earnings per share will be between 92c and 102c a share, and being 20 percent and 33 percent higher than the 76.5c a share in the previous corresponding period,” the group said.

The group said that the increase in Eps and Heps was largely due to an increase in volumes in most areas of the business, improved operational efficiencies together with an increase in interest earned.

The results were expected to be published on or about September 8.

quarter of last year, the figure represents a decline of $640m, a sharp decline of 41.3 percent.

The Ernst & Young Africa Attractiveness Index released in May said Nigeria had been hit by a scarcity of foreign exchange, impacting businesses that were already grappling with issues, including insufficient power supply and complexity in paying taxes.

“Nigeria’s business environment is in urgent need of improvement, considering the country’s 169th ranking on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index 2017.“On a more positive note, the sheer size of the Nigerian market, and its diversification initia-

Afrox expects to report earnings per share of between 93 cents and 103c a share, representing an increase of 20 percent and 32 percent higher than the 77.8c reported last year.

The restructuring by the group under the chief executive Schalk Venter in 2015 had returned the group to sound footing after reporting losses prior the restructuring. It has managed to cut costs by engaging in aggressive restructuring.

In July the group announced that its sites in Epping and Roodekop had shown that they

were at the top of their game and capable of shattering production records in an effort to meet customer demand.

In June, the group reported that Epping’s MPG cylinder filler teams churned out a staggering 83 300 cylinders, of which 59 600 were LPG. Afrox Roodekop went even further in its June filling, dis-

tributing more than 130 000 cylinders of LPG. This followed hard on the heels of record production output at East London and Polokwane sites in May. “The fact is that Roodekop set two new production records for this year; filling more cylinders than it has for the past nine years, while in June it also executed 1 146 delivery orders,

97 percent of them in full and on time,” Ivan De Jager said in June.

36.1 percent and 44 percent, respectively. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of R1.24 billion was up 23.2 percent with margin improvement of 400 basis points to 22.3 percent, reflecting litigation settlement, benefits of turnaround and countermeasures against strong headwinds.

PROPERTY holding and investment company, ARB Holdings, has acquired new land via its corporate division, which will be developed during the next 18 months to house a new home for the electrical division’s Gauteng operation, which has outgrown its current premises.

Chief executive Billy Neasham said on Friday that the group expected to start construction only next year.

“We are expanding our premises in Midrand and we are expecting to spend about R60 million in this project. It is our long-term investment, which we expect to bring positive results in the long term,” Neasham said.

ARB will see its East London branch relocating to new premises in the East London CBD, which will improve access to a broader customer base to expand the product offering into that region.

The group has three reporting divisions: electrical, lighting and corporate divisions. It has seen tough operating conditions continue to have a negative impact on the its results.

The electrical division’s revenue remained constrained by the limited government infrastructure spend during the year and the decline in local mining and manufacturing activities.

Although the conditions have been constrained, the group marginally grew its revenue by a modest 0.4 percent to R2.48 billion for the year to end June, while increasing gross profit by 8.4 percent to

R594m. The group said this was achieved through disciplined trading practices.

Profit before interest and tax declined by 1 percent to R214m, while headline earnings per share increased by 3.6 percent to 61.89 cents a share.

The group declared a dividend of 25c a share, which is 8.2 percent higher than the 23.1c declared last year.

Cash resources “The group continues to be cash generative, and managed its cash resources effectively,” Neasham said.

It remains ungeared with R306.6m cash on hand.

The group has other investments in closely-related trading and distribution businesses, including 74 percent of ARB Electrical Wholesalers, a level 3 BEE company that operates 21 electrical wholesale branches throughout South Africa.

It also has a 60 percent holding in Eurolux, which imports and distributes light fittings, lamps and related accessories.

The electrical division’s revenue declined by 0.5 percent and profit before interest and tax was down 0.6 percent during the period.

The lighting division saw its revenue increasing by 0.8 percent, with profit before interest and tax down 3.5 percent.

The corporate division, which comprises the property portfolio and the ARB IT business, reported a decrease in revenue of 2.4 percent, with profit before interest and tax up 15.8 percent.

New agreement to aid struggling SMEs​ Investors show appetite for mining, says Absa​ Joseph Booysen CHINA’S DEVELOPMENT BANK (CDB) on Friday announced the conclusion of a $100 million (R1.3 billion) Special Facility Agreement to fund small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Africa.

Absa, a subsidiary of Barclays Africa, said the money will benefit Barclays Bank’s existing and prospective SME clients across the continent.

The $100m will address the current funding needs, and may be increased in the future to assist with new funding opportunities within Barclays’s operations, both banks said on Friday.

“We are glad to partner with CDB on this landmark transaction, which also echoes the 2017 Brics theme of “Stronger Partnership for a Brighter Future”, said Craig Bond, head of partnerships, joint ventures and strategic alliances at Barclays Africa.

Dumeko said that despite the evidence of certain sectors showing growth opportunities for entrepreneurs, well-researched business concepts with solid fundamentals and good management were becoming more important for any risk financier across any sector and business offering in the low-growth economic environment.

“The reduction in the repo rate by 25 basis points last month by the SA Reserve Bank should be viewed as a positive signal to stimulate the muchneeded growth for SMEs to thrive,” Dumeko said.

Mike Anderson, founder and chief executive of the National Small Business Chamber, said that there were many mixed messages when it came to the state of local entrepreneurship, but what remains was the key to continue working towards building a culture of self-employment and sustainability.

Kabelo Khumalo BARCLAYS Africa on Friday said that it had successfully refinanced and upsized Harmony Gold’s existing $250 million (R3.2 billion) term debt to a three-year $350m facility in a move the bank said indicated that there was still investment appetite for South African mining companies from offshore investors.

The bank said the transaction was oversubscribed, with the debt syndicated to a total of eight lenders, including three new lenders.

In a statement, the bank said this allowed Harmony to broaden its banking group, bolster liquidity and achieve its global growth ambitions.

Absa is the largest lender in the new-term debt, and acted as bookrunner, co-ordinator and mandated lead arranger of the new arrangement. ”Harmony’s previous facility was set to mature in early 2018, and the gold mining company was looking to refinance its existing facility to allow it to expand its scope to fund its capital expenditure and growth plans in South Africa and Papua New Guinea,” the company said.

Absa has successfully refinanced and upsized Harmony Gold’s existing $250 million (R3.2bn) term debt to a three-year $350m facility.

But he conceded that the company was in discussions with various partners over the boosting of its mines portfolio.

He said the company would not restrict potential acquisitions to South Africa, saying he was highly impressed with the mining regulation system that

was employed in Papua New Guinea.

The group has increasingly looked at Papua New Guinea for future growth.

Last year it bought full ownership of Hidden Valley mine, which was expected to add 180 000 ounces to Harmony’s 1.5 million ounces output target by 2019.

Harmony said it had spent $68m in the past year at its Hidden Valley operations, while it had budged $110m in the 2018 financial year.

The group, together with its

joint-venture partners, are in Papua New Guinea engaging the government on the application for a special mining lease for the Wafi-Golpu project.

The joint-venture parties are targeting a complete update of its feasibility study by the end of March 2018.

Harmony in its results released last week mentioned that it had refinanced its debt, but did not specify which financial institutions were involved.

On July 28, Harmony entered into an agreement for a new three-year syndicated facility of $350m ($175m term loan, plus $175m revolving credit facility), the company said.

Calls for 50% black ownership in mining​

Trade agreement between Karelia and Fujian close​ Xinhua Petrozavodsk, Russia

It may not be enough – Zwane​ Dineo Faku MINERAL Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane, who faced a barrage of criticism after gazetting the Mining Charter III in June, on Friday said there had been calls to raise the mandatory black ownership of mining assets to 50 percent – from the new 30 percent target.

Zwane has been highly criticised for gazetting a charter that would deter investment in the ailing industry buckling under pressure of rising costs, commodity price volatility and 7 000 job losses over the past five years.

Zwane told business leaders at the Black Business Council that he had received backing from most quarters of society.

“We welcome the support we have received from most quarters of society, who have said to us “you are on the right track in terms of sustainably transforming this critical sector of the economy”, in fact, some have said to us that 30 percent is not radical enough on the ownership element, why not 50 percent or higher,” he said.

“We are clear that we do not want a continuation of what has occurred in the past, where deals that were structured only left the black shareholders in debt, with no real benefit being realised.”

Zwane also reiterated his criticism of the Chamber of Mines’ move to approach the

courts in a bid to have the charter reviewed and set aside.

“Only one stakeholder has voiced their opposition to the transformation of the mining industry,” he said.

Zwane said the charter was being implemented to ensure that the sustainable growth, development and transformation of the sector, remains a significant contributor to the economy through gross domestic product and employment creation, among others.

“Our policies are not static.

They are adapted from time to time to take into account various issues,” he said.

Zwane charged that for more than 100 years the mining industry had been the bedrock of the economy.

A chamber spokesperson said on Friday that Zwane’s comments would be the subject of the legal actions brought by the Chamber of Mines to get an urgent interdict against the charter’s implementation and for it then to be reviewed.

The chamber not only disagrees with a number of the assertions and interpretations made by the minister, but was also concerned that these comments are deliberately misleading, particularly regarding the Department of Mineral Resources’s engagement with stakeholders in developing the document.

The spokesperson said that the chamber disagreed with

Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane says he has been told that the 30 percent ownership of mines in South Africa anticipated with the Mining Charter III is) not enough. file photo: Simphiwe Mbokazi/ANA Zwane’s suggestion that there had been no meaningful economic participation of black people into the mainstream economy.

He “appears” unaware of the numerous black-owned mining companies co-operating in South Africa and the tens of thousands of black managers

and executives in the workforce.

“The minister does not acknowledge any ‘ownership’ of the two previous charters, nor that all mining compan-

ies operating in SA have mining licences approved by the Department of Mineral Resources on the basis of these charters,” the spokesperson added.

THE REPUBLIC of Karelia in Russia’s northwest and Fujian province in southern China are expected to sign an agreement during the upcoming Brics summit that could see trade bolstered significantly between the two favoured jurisdictions, Karelia’s top official said.

“Currently, the preparation for the establishment of a friendly and co-operative partnership between the two sides has entered the final stage.

“Hopefully, we will sign the agreement during the Brics summit and start to carry out joint projects as soon as possible,” Artur Parfyonchikov, acting head of the Republic of Karelia, said.

The Ninth Brics Summit, to be held in early September in Fujian’s resort city Xiamen, themed “Brics: Stronger Partnership for a Brighter Future,” will be the first summit among the Brics members in the second “Golden Decade” of the multilateral organisation.

Plans for expanding co-operation between Karelia and Fujian are based on their multiple similarities, Parfyonchikov noted. Geographically, both are border regions.

Economically, the two regions boast of rich resources in forestry, mining, tourism and other fields, and enjoy similar priorities in their respective country’s national economic policy, he explained.

Joint projects in non-traditional industries, including automation machinery, information technology, culture and education, are also being explored by the two jurisdictions, he added. In addition, the acting commissioner said Karelia has great advantages in attracting foreign investment and tourists, highlighting its well-conditioned railways, mari-

Hydropower plant project in Karelia financed time and other transportation infrastructure, which efficiently connects the region to major cities like Moscow, St Petersburg and Murmansk as well as neighbouring Finland.

At present, Karelia is in talks with Chinese authorities to develop tourism projects and routes for Chinese tourists.

Recalling a 50MW Beloporozhskaya hydropower plant project in Karelia launched in October last year, the first project in Russia financed by the Brics New Development Bank, Parfyonchikov said it set an example for the pragmatic co-operation within the framework of Brics.

“The construction of the hydropower plants is of great benefit to the local economy, and helps to boost employment as the workers involved in the construction of the project are mainly from the local community,” he said.

Parfyonchikov expressed his confidence in future prospects for comprehensive co-operation among the Brics countries, saying that Brics provides its member countries with an efficient platform for dialogue and consultation

Tapping into the pioneer inventors that create on a shoestring Bloomberg IT WAS THE late 1990s, and entrepreneurs Steven Abramson and Sidney Rosenblatt were pitching an electronics giant on their new flat-screen technology. It didn’t go well.

The product was unproven, and, given that the start-up had a pittance in the bank, the manufacturer had doubts about its long-term viability.

“You want us to bet the future of our company on your technology?,” the would-be customer said after the presentation. “Steve and I looked at each other and said: ‘He has a point’,” Rosenblatt said in a recent interview. He didn’t identify the manufacturer he was pitching.

Almost 20 years and half a billion dollars in research and development later, the pitch finally paid off. Apple will soon release a new iPhone using the organic light-emitting diode, or Oled, technology that Abramson and Rosenblatt toiled on for so long.

The company they run, Universal Display Corporation, is valued at $5.4 billion (R71bn), almost double a year ago – a rally fuelled by winning the world’s most valuable company as an end customer.

As Apple fights to maintain its technology leadership in smartphones, it’s turning to little-known suppliers that have spent years or even decades developing components in the hope they might one day enjoy widespread adoption.

Like Universal Display, other companies including Lumentum Holdings and AMS are also poised to benefit from the next version of Apple’s bestselling device.

The iPhone 8, as analysts tentatively dub it, is the most significant upgrade to Apple’s handset line-up since at least 2014.

Smartphones have evolved from communication devices into portable hubs for identity, payments, entertainment and new experiences like augmented reality. That requires major hardware upgrades, forcing Apple to scour the global electronics supply chain for tools and services that often had narrower uses

Apple chief executive Tim Cook speaks during an announcement of new products in Cupertino, California, in this file photo. Apple has become a benefactor to many innovative ideas.

In addition to the Oled display, the new iPhone will have a front-facing 3-D sensor that uses facial recognition to unlock the screen, people familiar with the plans said. That will provide a boost to a tech niche whose greatest success to date is Microsoft’s Kinect motion-sensing system in the Xbox gaming console. The iPhone market dwarfs that.

Lumentum makes lasers used in 3-D sensors and controls about three-quarters of that market, according to Alex Henderson, a Needham & Company analyst. The Milpitas, California-based supplier expects to deliver $200 million worth of lasers this year, most of which will end up in iPhones. Prior to July, Lumentum’s total cumulative revenue from that market was around $5m, according to Henderson.

“Lumentum has been work-

‘You want us to bet the future of our company on your technology?’ the would-be customer said. ing on this stuff for at least a decade,” Henderson said. He expects the 3-D laser market to be worth as much as $2bn by 2020. Lumentum shares are up 65 percent over the past year. A Lumentum spokesperson declined to comment.

Viavi Solutions, what was left when JDS Uniphase spun off Lumentum into a separate business, will provide 3-D laser filters for the iPhone, according to a person familiar with the contract.

Other sensor compan-

ies stand to benefit too. Austria-based AMS recognised the potential of optical sensors in 2011 when it acquired Texas Advanced Optoelectronic Solutions. That deal gave it components that adapt iPhone screen brightness to ambient light conditions and detect whether the handset is being held against the ear, deactivating the touchscreen.

Apple’s 2013 purchase of Israel’s PrimeSense showed it was serious about 3-D sensor technology. AMS responded by accelerating its push into the space. It spent more than $600m to acquire Heptagon Micro Optics and Princeton Optronics, adding sensors that receive signals from the lasers Lumentum and rivals churn out.

AMS already gets about 20 percent of its revenue from Apple. Analysts expect further orders from the Cupertino, California-based company to help

Before the sensor acquisition spree began in 2011, AMS stock had languished around 10 Swiss francs (R136.15) for years, with products focusing on industrial and automotive applications. It’s now at 70 francs.

Investment in new manufacturing facilities to meet Apple demand means some suppliers are spending while revenue hasn’t climbed much yet. That poses a risk, should Apple decide in a year or two to ditch the new technologies, opt for alternative suppliers or use in-house systems. Chip designer Imagination Technologies Group learned that lesson the hard way earlier this year, when it revealed it was losing Apple’s business.

One innovation that’s unlikely to have its day just yet is

‘We realised in 1999, when we’d hired five, six or seven technical folks, that it was going to take a lot longer.’ wireless charging.

In 2016, San Jose, California-based Energous Corporation said it was developing wireless charging with a “key strategic partner” that analysts and investors understood to mean Apple.

Apple typically designs and tests features for new iPhones about a year before the devices are sold. That makes it unlikely wireless charging will feature in the next iPhone because the technology wasn’t ready 12 months ago, said Ilya

Grozovsky, a National Securities Corporation analyst. “It’s more likely to be in a year or two.” Still, Universal Display’s experience shows patience can sometimes be rewarded. The company says it now gets “a couple of pennies” in revenue for every square inch of Oled sold by its customers.

The Oled specialist has two branches to its business.

Since it was founded in 1994, the research and development (R&D) arm has worked on Oled technology with more vivid colours and lower energy consumption.

It then licences the intellectual property from its thousands of patents to display makers such as Samsung Display, which manufactures Oled panels and whose sister company Samsung Electronics already uses the displays in its smartphones.

“Initially, we had materials

that lit up for 10 seconds and died,” Rosenblatt said. Now, they last for about 20 years, with little degradation in the screen’s brightness, he added.

When Universal Display went public in 1996, Rosenblatt, Abramson and founder Sherwin Seligsohn expected the technology to be widely adopted within five years.

“We realised in 1999, when we’d hired five, six or seven technical folks, that it was going to take a lot longer,” said Rosenblatt. “We didn’t make a lot of money, didn’t get paid for a lot of it. But we were out there plugging away that Oled was going to be the technology of the future and we never changed our focus.”

In February, the company announced its first dividend after finally generating enough profit to cover the $500m in R&D costs accrued over 20 years.

US to boost automotive sector​​ ​Trump is demanding tougher rules of origin for vehicles in Nafta talks Anthony Esposito and David Ljunggren Washington IN THE OPENING OF THE Nafta (North American Free Trade Agreement) session of talks, the US did not give precise details of how much it wanted to boost North American automotive content, a source directly familiar with the negotiations said on Saturday.

Robert Lighthizer, US President Donald Trump’s top trade adviser, said that Washington wanted tougher rules of origin for vehicles, which determine how much of a vehicle must be built in the three Nafta nations – Canada, the US and Mexico.

He also said that the US was seeking new measures to ensure “substantial US content” for automotives.

Companies wishing to take advantage of free trade in goods guaranteed by Nafta must currently meet the 62.5 percent North American content requirement for vehicles and 60 percent for components.

But during the opening four-hour round of talks on the rules of origin on Friday, the US delegation did not give details of how much it wanted the requirements to be lifted by.

It also did not give a specific figure for what substantial US content for vehicles could mean, said the source, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Head of Infosys in surprise resignation ​ Reuters INFOSYS, in a surprise announcement, said Vishal Sikka has resigned as chief executive, citing a stream of distractions and disruptions in recent months, pushing down shares of the second-largest Indian IT services firm almost 8 percent on Friday.

UB Pravin Rao, Infosys’ chief operating officer, was named interim managing director and chief executive. Rao will report to Sikka, who will take the executive vice chairperson role until a permanent chief executive takes charge, which should be no later than end-March 2018, Infosys said.

The move comes after a protracted war of words between Infosys and its founders and some former executives, who were unhappy with various decisions taken by the board.

The founders, who still own 12.75 percent of Infosys, have in the past questioned a pay rise granted to Sikka and Rao as well as the size of severance payouts given to others, in-

cluding the company’s former finance head Rajiv Bansal.

In his resignation letter, Sikka said: “Over the last many months and quarters, we have all been besieged by false, baseless, malicious and increasingly personal attacks.

“This continuous drumbeat of distractions and negativity… inhibits our ability to make positive change and stay focused on value creation,” Sikka said in the letter.

A former member of the executive board at German software firm SAP, Sikka took the top job at Infosys in 2014, becoming the first chief executive of the company who was not also one of its founders.

Infosys shares fell as much as 7.6 percent to a low of 943 rupees (R193.40).

“There is some level of uncertainty as we wait till the new chief executive and managing director comes in,” said Apurva Prasad, analyst at HDFC Securities, adding the stock reaction was more to do with uncertainty.

Union workers and farmers protest as the North American Free Trade Agreement renegotiations get under way in Washington DC and Mexico City last week. The placards read “FTA (Free Trade Agreement) hurts, Mexico better without FTA”.

Photo: Reuters But US officials said they could not confirm the source’s account.

Agreement on a revised Nafta agreement could pivot on the automotive sector given its weight in trade.

The US had vehicles and vehicle parts trade deficits of $74 billion (R9772.82bn) with Mexico and $5.6bn with Canada last year, both major com-

ponents of overall US goods trade deficits with its North American neighbours.

The US, Canada and Mexico on Wednesday opened talks in Washington to modernise Nafta, which was signed in 1994. Trump has denounced Nafta as a “disaster” that encouraged firms to shift production to Mexico.

Administration officials say

strengthening the rules of origin for vehicles will help boost well-paid jobs in the US as well as cut the trade deficit with Mexico, another key Trump goal.

Automotive industry groups from Canada, Mexico and the US are pushing back against the demand for higher US vehicle content, saying that it would be too complex.

According to a schedule, negotiators were due to continue discussing rules of origin on Saturday, as well as yesterday morning.

Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo and Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland have both said that they were not in favour of specific national rules of origin within Nafta. – Reuters

zz IN BRIEF CHINA​

There’s no plan to acquire FCA​ CHINA’S Guangzhou Automobile Group has no plans to acquire carmaker Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), a spokesperson said on Friday.

“Currently, we don’t have plans to acquire Fiat Chrysler,” Guangzhou Automobile spokesperson Wu Yunchong said. FCA shares soared on Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the carmaker rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified Chinese carmaker. Several Chinese carmakers have since publicly denied they plan to buy FCA. – Reuters

US​

Nestlé’s ‘fake’ spring water​ NESTLÉ’S Poland Spring Water unit has duped US consumers into paying premium prices for ordinary ground water that’s pumped from some of Maine’s most populated areas, rather than from natural springs as the company advertises, according to a lawsuit. While Poland Springs says its water bottles contain “100 percent natural spring water” from a source deep in Maine’s woods, the complaint filed on August 15 in a federal court in Connecticut claims that the bottled water that doesn’t meet the definition of spring water. – Bloomberg

Nicklaus in the nick of time Cuban Emerald shines T DAVID THISELTON

trained Australian-bred Yess produced a sudden late surge under Anthony Delpech to win the Maiden for fillies and mares over 2 000m by the narrowest of margins from the 8-1 chance The Matador.

HE Duncan Howells-trained seven-year-old gelding Nicklaus proved yesterday he is a horse to be ignored at one’s peril as he downed his stablemate Wild Wicket in a Pinnacle Stakes event over 1 600m on the Greyville polytrack.

It was a good day for Ashburton trainers as both Howells and Paul Gadsby landed doubles and Des Egdes also had a winner.

The rangy Brazilian-bred Nicklaus, by Point Given was officially 0,5kg under sufferance with Wild Wicket but ended favourite at 3-1 as Wild Wicket drifted out to 32-10.

Wild Wicket tracked Nicklaus around the final bend but Howells’ chief stable jockey Keagan de Melo switched him inward and made his run down the middle. Anthony Delpech hooked Nicklaus on to the outside rail.

Russet Roses

The first leg of the Pick 6, a MR 70 Handicap for fillies and mares over 2 000m, produced yet another thriller and it was the Dennis Drier-trained Dynasty filly Russet Roses who just got the better of Ideal Winter, despite starting at odds of 21-2.

The winner was ridden by 1,5kg claiming apprentice Diego de Gouveia.

The first leg of the Jackpot, a MR 60 handicap for fillies and mares over 2 000m, saw a duel down the straight between Peggy’s Dream and Eina.

The former, a four-year-old Jay Peg mare, gave Gadsby and De Melo a double each.

In the seventh, a MR 70 Handicap over 1 400m, the Egdes-trained Just As Well mare Just Rap flew up late under Ian Sturgeon to just deny Noodle.

Wild Wicket It would be no surprise to see Wild Wicket fitted with blinkers next time out as he is a classy sort who tends to become reluctant when hitting the front.

On this occasion Nicklaus was hidden behind the horses on Wild Wicket’s outside.

Consequently, when Nicklaus suddenly swept past Wild Wicket, the latter had no time to respond and was beaten by 0,75 lengths.

The admirable Mumsy’s Jet was going for a poly hat-trick and finished third, albeit well beaten by 3,25 lengths.

He was followed home by Secret Warning and Breakfast Club.

The best weighted horse, the mare Lala, ran disappointingly for the third time in succession and finished last.

The meeting opened with a head bobbing thriller in a Maiden over 1 600m. The outsider Mighty

Roy Is Second

Mississippi, returning from a long layoff, only just failed to hold off the Howells-trained 9-2 shot Zenzero ridden by De Melo.

Zenzero is by Byword, as was the disappointing favourite Bypass, who finished downfield.

The second, a Maiden over 2 000m,

Stallion fees slashed MICHAEL CLOWER SUMMERHILL Stud owner Mick Goss, so often a pace-setter in the South African bloodstock industry, has taken the drastic step of slashing the fees of several of his stallions by between 33 and 40%.

Brave Mary’s sire Brave Tin Soldier comes down from R15 000 to R10 000 while Capetown Noir, Linngari and Willow Magic are reduced from R20 000 to R 12 000.

Seemingly substantial discounts are available on others.

Goss said: “Too many horses are not making their production costs in the sales ring and we invite you to talk to us about your needs so that we can see what we can do to accommodate them. We’d like to think we have the capacity to surprise.”

But Goss has also reiterated his belief that export protocols will soon open up and in May he said: “I will be pretty bullish that we’ll have something concrete in place by December.”

He was buoyed by a prominent French breeder saying that the European Union will look again at South Africa’s equine export position before the end of the year.

Export Task Team Indeed there is growing optimism among many in South Africa that the Export Task Team will be able to make a breakthrough in the near future and the ETT has been boosted by the recent addition of Cape Thoroughbred Sales boss Adrian Todd.

It is not just in Europe that the breakthrough could come.

Two months ago thoroughbrednews.com.au boss Rob Burnett wrote on this page how Hong Kong is eyeing South Africa for the purchase of 1 500 horses needed to expand the Chinese racing industry.

The Sydney-based Burnett, a regular visitor to the July and the Met, believes that there is a realistic possibility of Hong Kong admitting South African horses without first having to undergo quarantine elsewhere.

It was also a memorable day for Dan Katz who had his first winner since his appointment as Hassen Adams’ private trainer when Jason Smitsdorff sprang a 25-1 shock on Lalena in the Medal Paints Maiden.

Ken and Jane Truter are doubtless wishing they had chosen a more peaceful place than Barcelona for their European holiday but their Vaughan Marshall-trained Flash Twice had no problem landing the odds in the last to complete a double for Aldo Domeyer who was also on the mark on Queen Moira in the Matus Maiden.

Glen Puller was another to double up with Piet Botha on Steel Rose wearing down the luckless Varside in the first and Akshay Balloo on 15-1 shot Miss D’Aray again showing his talent for slipping the field two races later.

In-form Piet Steyn had his fourth winner in three meetings when Sihle Cele on Call Me Darling got up in the last three strides of the Steinbuild Handicap.

New Caledonia, though, has had more than his share of injury and he twice did a lower suspensory ligament last year.

The five-year-old bounced back to make Lucy Woodruff ’s 23rd birthday in the Isotherm Handicap with Grant van Niekerk throwing accepted tactics to the wind by going on just under two furlongs out.

“My stomach went to my mouth and I nearly had a heart attack,” said Geoff Woodruff ’s daughter, mixing her medical metaphors. “New Caledonia likes to run at horses but I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present.”

CUBAN EMERALD displayed the sort of acceleration Usain Bolt wishes he still had when powering home in the Buco Handicap at Kenilworth on Saturday but, for the moment at least, Justin Snaith has no intention of upping him in class.

He said: “The next level is a big jump and I am happy to keep the horse in this company. He is still a big immature type and he hated every minute of the hard training tracks in P.E. Indeed he disliked the whole environment there.

“Then Kevin Sommerville (Drakenstein racing manager) identified that he was looking a bit awkward behind. We brought in a physio and that has made all the difference.

“We also found that he was losing his races at the start as he is such a big horse so we now trot him round behind the pens to warm him up.”

Second-placed Power Grid put last time’s flop behind him and indeed looked all over the win-

ner until Richard Fourie pressed the detonator to such explosive effect. “He had a speedy cut and an over-reach last time. Here he was back to his best,” said Andries Steyn’s wife Jennifer but the horse continues to confound veterinary opinion, not least with the way he walks round the parade ring as if he is lame.

‘REACTING, NOT ANTICIPATING’

Menzo not expecting Ajax to be too open Rodney Reiners AJAX CAPE TOWN coach Stanley Menzo declared himself “not happy, but satisfied” after his team played to a 1-1 draw with Golden Arrows in the opening match of the new PSL season at Cape Town Stadium at the weekend.

But there’s no time to dwell on ifs and buts as the Cape side swings back into action on Wednesday again.

Ajax are in KwaZulu-Natal to face Maritzburg United at the Harry Gwala Stadium (7.30pm kickoff) – and Menzo is looking at tweaking things tactically for the encounter.

“They (Maritzburg) are in the semi-finals of the MTN8 this weekend, so they will be in good spirit, in good flow,” said Menzo. “We know their way of playing and a possible strategy is to allow them to have the ball and try to catch them on the counter. Maritzburg are a very compact side, so I’m not expecting us to play too open.”

In reflecting on the draw with Arrows on Saturday, the Urban Warriors coach was frank about the pros and cons of his team’s performance.

“It’s always disappointing when you are at home and cannot win, especially when it’s the first game of the season” said Menzo. “In the first half, you could see that Arrows knew what we do and they had come prepared, they made things difficult. We couldn’t find the spaces between their lines, they had come to play on the counter and they did it very well.

“We were always reacting and not anticipating, which is why we were always late on the second ball. In the second half, I told the team to always

TO THE RESCUE: Rivaldo Coetzee saved the Urban Warriors’ blushes with an equaliser against Arrows on Saturday.

play the first pass forward to the number 9, and I thought it worked well. We played better.

We scored a good goal (Rivaldo Coetzee heading in from a corner), it was a move we had worked on at training.”

As for some of the individuals in the team, the former Ajax Amsterdam goalkeeper had some positive and negative comments.

“The two players making their debuts (central defender Isaac Nhlapo and striker Sedwyn George) did well,” said Menzo. “I can assure you that I wouldn’t like to play against Isaac … he is tough and hard and I thought he played well.

Sedwyn now knows what the PSL is all about, it’s a lot quicker and harder than the NFD. He’s got talent, he has (a)

good touch and feeling for goal.

We will need a bit more time with him, it’s a learning process. Thabo Mosadi, though, wasn’t very good, and he needs to know that he cannot produce that level of performance for the team.”

But, with (former captain) Travis Graham not available and looking to negotiate his way out of Ajax, Menzo says he needs to find a central midfielder. Mitchells Plain midfielder Morne Nel was signed for this purpose, but he is struggling with injury and is not ready as yet.

“I need a number six, an organiser in midfield who can read the game,” said Menzo.

“In the Ajax way of playing, this position is very important … We have Morne (Nel), but he needs more time. So we will see what we can do before the transfer window closes.”

‘I don’t care how we win as long as we win’ Rodney Reiners AFTER another admirable performance of defiance in the face of relentless pressure, Cape Town City got the new PSL season off to a positive start with a 1-0 win over champions Wits in Johannesburg on Friday.

It’s still early season, but the superb defensive organisation and stubborn refusal to give in hammered home the point that City will again be a team to be reckoned with this season.

But the euphoria of the victory has, no doubt, already been placed in the past because the Capetonians have a busy week ahead. On Wednesday, they will have to be ready for Platinum Stars (7.30pm) in a league clash and, on Sunday, they’ll be up against Wits again (3.30pm), this time in the first leg of the MTN8 semi-finals. Both games are scheduled for the Cape Town Stadium.

While it’s always great to grind out wins against top opposition like Wits, new City coach McCarthy will be expecting more from his team

FRUSTRATING: Benni McCarthy admits his teams’ tactics on Friday were negative.

Picture: BACKPAGEPIX on Wednesday, especially in attack.

“We didn’t want to play Wits and just defend and knock long balls, but under the circumstances we had to frustrate them,” said McCarthy.

“We knew we would get our opportunities; we got the goal from a set-piece and it was

fantastic. I don’t care how we win as long as we win and that’s what I said to the team. The players fought and, for me, they were deserved winners. We came away victorious – it’s one league game gone and, when you get three points against the champions, you’ll be smiling.”

But, before the former Bafana Bafana striker plots his strategy for Wits in the Cup this weekend, he has a tricky league fixture against Platinum to negotiate.

Last season, City came unstuck at home against the Rustenburg team and they will do well to be at their best on Wednesday.

As usual, in that win over Wits last Friday, it was the excellent team ethic that was quite evident. Again, as was the case last season, each and every individual got stuck in and made a contribution to the success of the whole.

But while City were defensively sound and resilient, McCarthy still needs to see more of the possession-based, attacking style of football he promised.

Football is about results, that’s a given, but the 39-yearold, in his debut season as a head coach, would probably love his team to deliver a bit more of the fantastic offensive play that made the club such a sensation last season.

Platinum, at home on Wednesday, is certainly a good place to start.

‘Micho’s’ defensive shuffle pays off for Orlando Pirates Mazola Molefe JOHANNESBURG: What’s clear from Orlando Pirates’ opening match of the Absa Premiership season is that coach Milutin “Micho” Sredojevic is looking for a defensive solution.

“Speed and aggression”, the words the Serbian mentor used following the Buccaneers’ 1-0 victory over Chippa United.

What is less obvious, however, is if veteran Happy Jele – the only player still at the club a decade after the coach’s first stint there – will be part of this new dynamic back four.

Pirates conceded an incredible 40 goals in 30 league (fourth in that category) matches last season and it was no surprise they endured their worst ever season in the Premier League era.

On Saturday night at Orlando Stadium, Sredojevic handed a debut to Innocent Maela at leftback, while Gladwin Shitolo and Ntsikelelo Nyauza found themselves in unfamiliar roles at centreback. Thabo Mat-

laba kept his place at rightback and goalkeeper Wayne Sandilands, though very experienced, was another debutant.

The end result was a clean sheet.

But is that Sredojevic’s answer to last season’s leaky rearguard?

“No one is guaranteed a place,” the coach said. “As Maela will tell you, he did not expect to play, but we saw enough in training to believe that he was ready, and we told him that if he does well he takes the credit, which he did (pointing to the player’s Man of the Match award).

But if he doesn’t perform well, as coaches we take the responsibility.”

“We need to field a central defence that has elements of speed and elements of aggression and correction in their defending,” Sredojevic explained further.

“And we have a specific target – to not be the team that has conceded one goal per match. We want the kind of defence that will give us confidence, that way we can have creative build-up.”

CHELSEA EDGE SPURS

The Huddersfield dream continues HUDDERSFIELD: Promoted Huddersfield Town made it two wins out of two in the Premier League as a superb Aaron Mooy strike gave them a 1-0 home win over Newcastle United yesterday.

The hosts built on last week’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, which marked their return to the top flight after a 45-year absence, when Australian Mooy grabbed the winner in the 50th minute.

Newcastle, who also won promotion from the Championship last season, should have equalised in the 68th minute but Ayoze Perez wasted a chance from close range.

Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle remain without a point following their home loss to Tottenham Hotspur last week.

There was a buzz of anticipation around the John Smith’s Stadium as Huddersfield, three times champions in the 1920’s, prepared to welcome England’s elite once more.

German manager David Wagner, whose team won promotion through the playoffs, has energised the Yorkshire town, injecting optimism and excitement into a club that had been struggling in the second tier Championship when he took over in November, 2015.

Signs of ‘We are Premier League’ were proudly displayed outside the ground and former players, such as ex-England international Frank Worthington, savoured the occasion in the stands.

A series of new signings, mainly from Europe, during the off-season has given Huddersfield a fighting chance of survival and their opening-day win at Palace only added to the optimism of the Terriers faithful.

Not surprisingly in such an atmosphere, Huddersfield attacked from the outset but there were few clear chances and a Tom Ince snap-shot in the 13th minute was their first real effort on

goal.

A minute later, Newcastle threatened with their Scottish international winger Matt Ritchie forcing a fine diving save out of home keeper Jonas Lossl.

Huddersfield took the lead in outstanding fashion five minutes after the break with Australian midfielder Mooy playing a neat one-two with Elias Kachunga and then curling a fine shot past the helpless Rob Elliot.

Benitez took off the ineffective Dwight Gayle, replacing him with Spanish forward Joselu, and that, combined with greater urgency, saw Newcastle apply some pressure.

Perez should have brought Newcastle level in the 68th minute when he fired over the bar from five metres out and although Newcastle battled hard at the end, they lacked craft and ingenuity.

A massive roar greeted the final whistle from the home fans who know that every point is likely to matter if they are to remain in the Premier League at the end of the season.

“I am very happy and proud the players followed our idea to keep Newcastle as far away from our goal as possible, Huddersfield manager David Wagner said. “We gave no big chances away and our defence was very sharp.

“We had one magic moment from Mooy, enough to win the game. I am delighted with the performance and result.

“We got promoted at Wembley but we have started the season with two wins and six points. This is unbelievable. Everybody has invested so much and I am happy for

LET’S GO CRAZY: Chelsea manager Antonio Conte celebrates after Marcos Alonso scored their second goal, as Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino looks on.

Picture: REUTERS them.”

Two goals from Marcos Alonso gave Chelsea a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the first-ever Premier League game at Wembley Stadium.

For all the noise and wall of flags that greeted their arrival, Spurs needed an early goal to feel at ease in their new surroundings.

It was Chelsea, though, who made the breakthrough against the run of play on 23 minutes when Alonso thumped home a superb free kick from 20 metres after Dele Alli had

fouled David Luiz.

The shock jolted Spurs who spent much of the game peppering Chelsea’s goal, with Harry Kane hitting the post and Christian Eriksen also going close.

They eventually got a goal on 82 minutes but only when Michy Batshuayi headed an Eriksen free kick into his own goal two minutes after coming on as a substitute.

The striker looked disconsolate but the goal heralded a frantic finale in which Tottenham had a penalty appeal turned down and Chelsea

scored on the counter-attack after 88 minutes when Luiz intercepted and Pedro fed Alonso on the overlap.

The fullback shot low but must have been as surprised as anyone when goalkeeper Hugo Lloris somehow let the ball through.

“We played a very good game,” said Alonso. “I don’t think I ever hit a better free kick than the first, not even in training.”

Midfielder Luiz was at the heart of most that was good about Chelsea, breaking down Tottenham attacks and pushing

his team forward. Asked what instructions he had received from manager Antonio Conte, Luiz said: “Run.” He added: “He told me to cut out the space to create. We were clever and played a very good game.”

It was Chelsea’s fourth successive win over Spurs at the national stadium – the previous three were in cup games – and hardly bodes well for Tottenham’s temporary home while their new stadium is being built. In their past 11 games at Wembley, Spurs have won only twice. – Reuters

JOHANNESBURG: Pitso Mosimane has challenged Mamelodi Sundowns to continue with their good start, arguing that the rest will take care of itself in their attempts to claw back the PSL title from Wits.

The Brazilians are notorious for their slow start. Their 2-0 win over SuperSport United at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday was the first time in three seasons that Sundowns had won their opening league game.

“It would be nice to start well because I know that once this team gains momentum, we are not easy to stop,” Mosimane said. “We haven’t started well in the past. I like this (win) because this was good preparation for Wydad (Casablanca who we will face in the quarter-finals of the Caf Champions League next month). That’s the big one. We need to prepare the team, get the confidence and score goals because we will need to score here against Wydad.”

Even though Sundowns eased to victory over Matsatsantsa, they are yet to find their rhythm. New signings Oupa Manyisa and George Lebese are still getting used to their teammates and what’s expected from them.

The Brazilians are on their third week back from the break Mosimane gave them after they qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Matsatsantsa are also still finding their feet, coming from a short break after qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Caf Confederation Cup. SuperSport also have to deal with life under new coach Eric Tinkler. The coach has a tough act to follow after Stuart Baxter guided the team to Nedbank Cup glory and Kaitano Tembo took the side to the knockout stage of the Confederation

Cup. Matsatsantsa will make a short trip to Zambia to take on Zesco United in the last eight.

But before these Tshwane giants can continue with their quest for continental dominance, they have domestic assignments to focus on first.

Sundowns host Polokwane City tomorrow at Lucas Moripe Stadium, while SuperSport take on Kaizer Chiefs on Wednesday at FNB Stadium before facing the Team of Choice in the first leg of the MTN8 semi-finals.

Matsatsantsa will be without captain Dean Furman, who was sent off against Sundowns, for both of those matches. Tinkler has a simple explanation to what would make this a successful season for him, taking over a club that has done well in knockout competitions but hasn’t won the league in seven years.

“For me what would be a successful season, to be honest, would be finishing higher than what we did last season,” Tinkler said. “That was my aim when I joined Cape Town City. Even though I joined Cape Town City, I saw it as Mpumalanga Black Aces who finished fourth the previous season with 47 points. I wanted to better that (and I did by finishing third). SuperSport finished fifth last season, can we finish higher than that?

That has to be our primary objective. And then obviously Cup competitions. Cup competitions are always an opportunity to redeem yourself during the season. I want to finish this seasons holding up a trophy.”

CAVIN JOHNSON: First game in charge.

DURBAN: If AmaZulu can build on their winning start to the Absa Premiership season then the club will be well on their way to becoming a stabilised outfit.

New coach Cavin Johnson was pleased with the side’s display in fighting with 10 men to beat a Free State Stars unit that had also been reduced to 10 men by the time the goal was scored in their opening league game in uMlazi on Saturday.

This was the Durban side’s first match back in the top division after they bought the status of promoted Thanda Royal Zulu.

An own goal following a penalty kick taken by defender Tapelo Nyongo earned Johnson’s men victory. The coach later expressed his belief in the

squad that he inherited, having been appointed less than a fortnight before the season’s kickoff.

“I’m not satisfied. In life you’re never satisfied, but I am satisfied with the fact I’ve inherited a team that I believe all the players need to be given a chance to play in the PSL. “This is only the start.

If we carry on playing (like this) and get better then we will own uMlazi, which is only the right thing to do,” said Johnson.

He praised his team for standing firm despite the setback of losing defender Sadate Ouro-Akoriko to a red card early in the clash.

“You have to give credit to the boys; I thought we controlled the game for most parts of it, even though we were down to 10 men. In the first half we should have

been at least 2-0 up, even with 10 men. Being the first game in the PSL as a team you have to credit them and by the end of the game it looked like they were enjoying themselves.

“The goal made it better.

It made them realise what the competition is like in the PSL and that they can compete.

“We were together for only a week and you can cut it down to maybe five hours.

To be able to turn it around to what they did you have to say well done to them.

“Being a man down with 20 minutes to go I thought they handled it very well.

Morton played very well at the back. It looked good up until we scored the goal and we contained them, but then we let it slip a bit because of fatigue,” said the former Supersport tactician.

JOHANNESBURG: Dressed in the blue of her running club, Kesa Molotsane raced to the finish line to win the fifth leg of The Spar Women’s 10km Challenge in Pietermaritzburg yesterday. The KMPG athlete clocked 34:21 with Ruthendo Nyahora 13 seconds behind and Irvette van Zyl finishing third in 34:37 The Athletes braved the chilly weather and took to the hilly course in pursuit of a victory.

“The race was really nice for me. I love hills. I come from a hilly place. My body responded well,” said Molotsane, who hails from the Free State.

Van Zyl started strongly with a solo run from two kilometres but it wasn’t long before other runners caught up with her.

“I wanted to try my best, because I’m in a difficult space. I’m behind with points on the Grand Prix and I knew what I had to do to get more points”, said Van Zyl “I wanted to run a bonus point and my plan worked, but unfortunately I finished third,” said the reigning Grand Prix champion.

At five kilometres the 30-year-old Van Zyl and Lebogang Phalula – who finished fourth – were running neck and neck with Moletsane just behind them and the trio continued until 6km where they were

‘‘

I wanted to try my best, because I’m in a difficult space. I’m behind with points on the Grand Prix and I knew what I had to do to get more points,” said Van Zyl

joined by Nyahora. Van Zyl looked like she was going to take it, but things turned out badly as Molotsane and Nyahora passed her just after 8km and finished ahead of her.

Zimbabwean Nyahora said she felt like giving up at halfway, but she told herself to keep going on.

“The race was fine. I felt like my race was done, but I told myself that two weeks ago I was doing 42 km and this is 10km, so I pulled up my socks because I had 6kms to go”, said Nyahora.

“My aim was to finish in the top three,” Nyahora, who competed in thre marathon at the recent IAAF World Championships, added Molotsane was supposed to be in Taipei with the South African team for the

Student Games, but had to ask for special permission so that she could take part in yesterday’s race.

“I used this race as a test because I had to see how far am I with my fitness. I really need to prove myself that I deserve to be on the team and make my country proud”, said the 25-year-old Molotsane.

“Being here is actually a blessing that I could test myself before I joined the rest of the team,” continued Molotsane. who jetted off to Taipei after the race.

Molotsane will run the 5000m heats on Friday with the final on Sunday.

Molotsane is highly favoured to win the Grand Prix as she had 107 points before this race and Van Zyl was on 88 points. The last leg of the Grand Prix is in Johannesburg in October.

KOK READY TO GO SOON ...

Who will be waiting in the wings for WP? Zaahier Adams WESTERN PROVINCE produced some scintillating counter-attacking rugby with precious little ball to run in six tries against the Golden Lions on Friday evening. The majority of this attacking intent was produced by Man of the Match Dillyn Leyds.

However, with Cheslin Kolbe moving on to greener pastures in France and fellow Bok flyer Bjorn Basson on the sidelines with a shoulder injury, we take a closer a look at the men who, together with Leyds could be called up to provide the spark out wide for Province against the Sharks on Saturday.

Werner Kok The former World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year is itching to get involved in 15-man rugby. An injury has curtailed his participation thus far in the Currie Cup, but according to WP coach John Dobson, he should be ready to go very soon. Kok played a couple of games for WP last year, claiming “the game felt a bit long”, but will certainly add an extra dimension to Province’s game. Not only is his speed a valuable asset, but Kok is one of the

A GIANT HAS LEFT US: Former All Black great, Sir Colin Meads, right, and his wife Vera pose for a photo with the statue of himself at the unveiling in his home town of Te Kuiti in June. Meads died yesterday at the age of 81.

New Zealand mourns the death of ‘Pinetree’ Meads WELLINGTON: Tributes flowed from politicians, former team-mates and current players yesterday as New Zealand mourned the death of All Blacks great Colin Meads at the age of 81 following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Meads, who in 1999 was named New Zealand’s greatest rugby player of the 20th Century, was diagnosed with cancer last year and died in hospital in his home town of Te Kuiti.

In a sign of his importance to the people of the rugbymad nation, his death was announced by Prime Minister Bill English.

“This is a sad day for New

Zealand rugby and for New Zealand,” English said in the statement.

“He was not only a great All Black but also a genuinely good New Zealand bloke.

“He represented what it means to be a New Zealander.

He was no-nonsense, reliable, hardworking, warm and very generous with his time.”

His family issued their own statement, expressing their

thanks for the expressions of sympathy from the local community and from rugby fans worldwide.

“Dad led a full life,” his youngest daughter Shelley Mitchell said. “He loved being an All Black and he loved his family dearly. We will miss him terribly.”

Meads, nicknamed as ‘Pinetree’ at an early age, was renowned for his toughness and uncompromising attitude in an international playing career that spanned 14 years.

He played 133 games for the All Blacks and even if only 55 of them were tests, that was still a record for the team.

The rangy lock came to epit-

omise the stereotypical no-nonsense All Blacks forward but was also lauded for pace and ball-handling skills that were rarely seen in tight forwards of his day.

His death was widely felt around New Zealand, briefly interrupting campaigning for the upcoming general election.

The leader of the main opposition party, Labour’s Jacinda Ardern, opened the launch of their election campaign in Auckland by praising Meads, while New Zealand First leader Winston Peters touched on his egalitarian nature.

“He was a quintessential unassuming New Zealander –

one of those we feel especially proud of as a nation,” Peters said in a statement. “We will miss him.”

Meads died the day after the world champion All Blacks had opened their Rugby Championship campaign with a 54-34 victory over Australia and the team expressed their sorrow from Sydney.

“This is an incredibly sad day,” All Blacks captain Kieran Read said. “Sir Colin was an icon of our game.

“I met him a few times and he was always keen to share a beer and have a yarn. On behalf of all players, our thoughts go out to his family at this time.” – Reuters

MARCELLO SAMPSON: A good history with Dobson most tenacious defenders on the World Rugby 7’s circuit and Province will certainly benefit from his intensity in the tackle and skills at the breakdown.

The long golden locks reminds one of Cabous van der Westerhuizen, who kept the touchline warm for WP, Natal and the Lions during the 1990’s.

Ruhan Nel Another world championship-wining Sevens Springbok in Province’s midst, Nel could also be unleashed this week in the Shark tank. Unlike Senatla and Kok, who are more explosive runners, Nel is much more of a rangy individual who uses his long strides to get away from the opposition. Although lacking in 15-man experience having last played for Griquas in the 2015 Currie Cup, Nel can be beneficial to Province as he

can cover the fullback position too.

Dan Kriel The former Blue Bull has struggled to cement a place in his preferred position of centre since moving south.

This could, though, be the big break the 23-year-old has been yearning for. Kriel may lack the outright pace of the aforementioned two, but showed his versatility and game-awareness with two solid performances on the wing in Province’s last two matches after coming on a substitute. If he is anything like his twin brother – Springbok centre Jesse Kriel – he will certainly know how to grab an opportunity when it comes his way.

Marcello Sampson The 30-year-old is possibly an outside bet to run out at the Shark Tank on Saturday, but Sampson was a valuable member of the side that recently lifted the SuperSport Challenge Trophy. Sampson has also travelled a long road with “Dobbo” with the duo pairing up at UCT almost a decade ago.

Having returned to Cape Town from stints with the Kings and the Pumas, Sampson certainly would not let Province down should he get the nod for he knows where the try-line is.

Lions are not in a good place Jacques van der Westhuyzen JOHANNESBURG: How quickly fortunes can change in sport. A little over two weeks ago the Lions were preparing for a back-to-back showing in the Super Rugby final – at home and in front of 62 000 fans – and now they’re struggling to score a try in the Currie Cup. The situation is not quite dire and there won’t be talk at the union of it being a crisis, but the reality is that the Lions are not in a good place.

They have gone from being a near championship-winning Super Rugby side, where they scored bucket-loads of tries and were one of the best defensive outfits in the competition, to fighting for every point in the Currie Cup, where they currently occupy last spot on the seven-team standings. With one win from five outings they

are the worst performing team and have nine points.

Sure, they are under new management in head coach Swys de Bruin and former defence boss JP Ferreira is now the attack coach while the new defence boss is Joey Mongalo, but is that excuse enough for the Golden Lions to concede 39 points at Newlands and score only a penalty? That was the scoreline in the team’s last outing, last Friday.

Because, even though they are missing several first choice players – 12 in total who are either with the Springboks, playing in Japan or are injured – the side De Bruin played last weekend still boasts quality in several areas.

The whole front row of Corne Fourie, Robbie Coetzee and Jacques van Rooyen are Super Rugby hardened, as is lock Andries Ferreira, and loose-forward Cyle Brink, too.

At the back Jaco van der Walt, Harold Vorster, Rohan Janse van Rensburg, Anthony Volmink, Madosh Tambwe and Sylvian Mahuza have also all played Super Rugby in the last two years.

De Bruin will be somewhat worried his team were unable to score a try, while conceding six, against Western Province last Friday – a team that have also been disrupted by injury and national call-ups – and the week before that the Lions gave up a strong position to lose to the Sharks (47-31).

And it’s not going to get any easier for De Bruin and company.

This weekend they have to travel to Bloemfontein for a date with the defending champions, the Cheetahs – who are coming off a last-gasp win against the Bulls at Loftus and sit atop the standings with four wins from five matches.

Stick with us, Beale asks the Wallabies fans Blue Bulls Company calls time on coach Nollis SYDNEY: Wallabies playmaker Kurtley Beale has pleaded with Australian rugby fans not to abandon the team after an inept defensive performance in their 54-34 defeat at the hands of New Zealand on Saturday.

Michael Cheika’s side had hoped to lift some of the gloom hanging over Australian rugby after a miserable Super Rugby season on and off the field but instead added to it with humiliating reverse at the hands of their neighbours.

Beale, returning for his first Test in nearly two years, scored a try in Australia’s second half resurgence but was as much to blame as anyone in green and gold for the eight tries they shipped in the first 48 minutes.

“We kind of let ourselves down in that first half,” he said.

“We are working hard, we do care and we love playing rugby for Australia. As a group, we’re going to keep playing rugby and try and deliver the brand of rugby that everyone wants

to see. We’re just going to keep focusing on that and hopefully everybody can just stick by us.”

World Cup-winning Wallabies great Michael Lynagh led a chorus of criticism aimed at the Wallabies, who missed 48 tackles during the match.

“I can’t overestimate how angry I am at seeing an Australian team who have skills that are non-existent,” the former flyhalf said in commentary for British TV. “Passing and catching, and

making tackles and trusting the bloke beside you are pretty basic, even at schoolboy level.”

Cheika could barely contain his fury at his team’s defensive ineptitude on Saturday, but was confident they would rally from the disappointing display.

“There’s no 1,2,3 step process for that type of stuff,” he said after the match. It comes down to a deep belief between players ... This group of players here, they’ve got a very strong connection.” – Reuters

Vata Ngobeni PRETORIA: It has been an inglorious year for Nollis Marais.

First he was relieved of his duties as Bulls Super Rugby coach after the team’s bad run in this year’s competition and now the Blue Bulls Company has called time on his role as the Blue Bulls Currie Cup coach after three consecutive defeats, following Saturday’s 41-40 loss to the Free State

Cheetahs.

The Bulls have dropped from their initial second place on the standings from the beginning of the season to fifth place.

Former All Blacks and Lions coach John Mitchell will take over from Marais as Currie Cup head coach for the remainder of the season and will surely head up the coaching team in next year’s Super Rugby campaign after a short late night meeting at Loftus

last night.

Mitchell was appointed as Executive of Rugby at Loftus last month after leading the USA Eagles to a spot at the 2019 World Cup. Marais is not the only casualty from the team’s failures this year with former Bulls captain and Super Rugby forwards coach Anton Leonard being demoted to the Under-21 side as forwards coach, while Super Rugby and Currie Cup backline coach David Manuel

will now be the head coach of the U21s.

Former Blue Bulls utility back Hayden Groepes has been elevated to Currie Cup skills and kicking coach.

“We are working hard to ensure the sustainable and long-term success of the Vodacom Bulls and Blue Bulls, as we continue striving towards achieving success and restoring trust and faith in our brand,” said Blue Bulls chief executive Barend van Graan.

PE on Saturday was a beautiful reminder of how far we have come SPRINGBOK captain Eben Etzebeth sure wasn’t exaggerating when he described the support in Port Elizabeth as “awesome”.

Because it really was.

And it wasn’t just the support from a pumping crowd that the Bok skipper praised, it was the passionate support they received during their two-week stay in the city that was very friendly to their Springboks that Etzebeth and the rest of the Boks also

RUGBY COMMENT Wynona Louw appreciated.

That passion and the excitement was everywhere. I saw it as soon as I landed in Port Elizabeth the Sunday before the much-anticipated Test against Argentina, and the closer it got to match day, the

more the support was visible.

It was visible in the increasing number of green jerseys I saw all over the city, you just couldn’t miss it.

But it was particularly special to witness that excitement and passionate support whenever the Eastern Cape population got to interact with the Boks.

The Springboks had an open training session early in the week.

When they came out of

the tunnel, the youngsters just couldn’t contain their excitement.

With every Bok who came out, the school kids shouted their names – and they did so with every single player.

And whenever one of their Springbok stars ran a great line during the drill or made it to the try line to dot the ball down, the excitement was voiced – loudly.

Last week, coach Allister Coetzee and the rest of the

coaching staff presented a coaching clinic for school and club coaches, and the room that the event was moved to, due to rain, was packed.

In that room the passion that the people of the Eastern Cape have for rugby was displayed in a special way – not through loud stadium roars – but by the hunger to learn more about the game.

All of that was great to see, and what made it so deeply significant was that this was hap-

pening in the Eastern Cape.

We all know that the Eastern Cape was one of the cradles of black rugby during apartheid. Of course I am part of a generation that never saw Eastern Cape Saru legends like Desmond Booysen, Zola Yeye, Peter Mkata, Makaya Jack and Jumbo Neer, to name just a few.

On Saturday, we had a unified Springbok team, our heroes, representing our country as one, playing in the Nel-

‘WE’VE LEARNT LESSONS FROM LAST YEAR’

Allister: Great to see how the Boks back themselves Wynona Louw SPRINGBOK coach Allister Coetzee says he’s pleased with the performance the team produced against Argentina in Port Elizabeth on Saturday, but added that there are still a few areas they need to work on if they want to get a winning result in Salta as well.

The Boks were rewarded for their good efforts in their opening Rugby Championship match with a 37-15 win over the Pumas at a lively Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, and Coetzee said that ongoing improvement in their set-pieces – although it was good at the weekend – will be crucial as they prepare for this Saturday’s return leg in Argentina.

“I’m definitely very pleased with the win, but it was not a perfect performance,” Coetzee said.

“It’s never easy in Salta.

But we’re just going to keep building on our processes – you have to keep improving on your scrum, your lineout, your mauling and your kicking game.

“I think we were spot on with our defensive tactics and we handled the high balls, and that’s a massive positive in terms of our progress.”

Coetzee really had a lot to be pleased with.

The Springboks certainly looked promising with ball in hand on Saturday. They used the width of the field, and they scored four nice tries and, as the game progressed, they showed good decision-making and used their chances – something that could have been seen as a bit of an issue in the first half.

They did much better in the second half, and what was a tight game for the first two quarters undoubtedly became the Boks’ in the second half.

Overall, they just looked better than they did in June against France. The Spring-

INJURY UPDATE THREE-CAPPED Stormers scrumhalf Jano Vermaark has been called up to replace Ross Cronje after the Lions No 9 injured his ankle in the Springboks’ 37-15 victory over Argentina on Saturday.

Cronje, comfortably the firstchoice scrumhalf for the Boks, sat out the last match of the three-Test series against France with Francois Hougaard doing duty instead. Hougaard is the likely starter for the game in Salta, with Vermaark and Rudy Paige providing cover.

Handre Pollard will also not be travelling with the national team as he stays behind to continue his rehabilitation after a longterm injury kept him out for most of the year.

Oupa Mohoje was another one who was not considered for the trip to Argentina, as the Cheetahs flank injured a rib cartilage in the Currie Cup game against the Blue Bulls at the weekend.

boks played with intent, and it was also great to see their wings, Courtnall Skosan and Raymond Rhule – who both crossed the try line – brought into the game the way they were.

And when asked what was said during half time to help boost the players, Coetzee said: “It was a matter of changing the tactics a little bit and getting the ball in behind them.

The message at halftime was for them to stay patient and that we’ll find the space, and we did. I think the team’s patience also showed that this was their fourth Test playing together.

“It was great to see how players back themselves.”

The Springboks also produced a great effort at scrum time – with tighthead and Man of the Match Coenie Oosthuizen stamping down in a big way – while their defence also held up well.

So it’s safe to say that the Boks will want to take a lot from their first match against

But they also know what not to do.

During the post-match press conference, Coetzee said that they “learnt lessons” from last

year – when the Boks had an outing in Salta they’d rather forget – and explained that they will get most of their work done in South Africa before heading to Argentina.

“We’ve learnt lessons from last year. We’ll stay behind in PE and train on Monday and Tuesday, and then we’ll travel

Samaai grabs second spot by just 1cm Ockert de Villiers

RUSWAHL SAMAAI: Silver in Birmingham.

IT WAS a case of post-Word Championships blues in the long-jump event at the Bir mingham Diamond League meeting where South African hero Ruswahl Samaai walked away with the silver medal.

Samaai earned second place with a best attempt of 8.03m finishing behind London 2017 silver medallist Jarrion Lawson of the United States in a competition that only produced three jumps of over eight metres.

The first round produced a host of red ‘no jump’ flags, and until the second round not a single athlete landed further than the eight-metre mark.

Lawson, who finished

second behind South African world champion Luvo Manyonga at the world championships in London, landed the winning jump of 8.19m on his second attempt.

Samaai took an early lead with an opening attempt of 7.94m as one of only three athletes to record a legal jump.

He moved into third place after the second round of jumping with Lawson moving into first place with his 7.99m, while Michel Torneus of Sweden moved into the second spot with 7.98m.

The South African got his hand on the silver medal on his fourth attempt with a jump of 8.03m with America’s Michael Hatfield earning bronze with 8.02m.

Beijing 2008 silver medallist Khotso Mokoena had a

terrible start to the competition inducing two red flags.

The former South African record-holder finished last in the field with a best attempt of 7.70m.

What a beautiful reminder of how far our country has come.

When the match kicked off, everything that was so evident throughout Test week was bumped up times 100.

You could hear, see and feel the passion and support with every big hit, with every stunning try, with every call

by Romain Poite that didn’t sit

well with the vivid crowd.

After the game, Etzebeth said: “A lot of credit must be given to supporters here in PE. “They created a great vibe, not only today, but also at our open training sessions during the week.

“We really appreciated that.

The crowd today was awesome.”

All I can add to that is I hope the PE kids can shout out the names of their Bok heroes again soon.

It’s an amazing feeling to have scored first Bok try, says Rhule Wynona Louw SPRINGBOK wing Raymond Rhule certainly doesn’t have to daydream about scoring a try in national colours or ask himself “when is it going to come” over and over again anymore.

Because during the Boks’ 37-15 victory over Argentina at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday, the man who’s used to flying down touch for the Cheetahs got his first try in the Springbok jersey and, judging by what he said after the match, it can only be presumed that touching down in Port Elizabeth felt great.

Rhule, who had a great outing in South Africa’s Rugby Championship opener, was rewarded for his efforts when he scored the Boks’ second try that stretched their narrow lead over the Pumas, and during the post-match press conference, the 24-year-old described the moment in his fourth Test as “amazing”.

“It’s an amazing feeling.

In the back three you always think ‘when is it going to come, when is it going to come’, and today it came,” Rhule said on Saturday.

And it wasn’t just Rhule who had the luxury of visiting the opposition’s in-goal area.

Left wing Courtnall Skosan also scored a stunning try, in fact, he scored the Boks’ first five-pointer.

So now the only one who still needs to celebrate behind the posts is Lions fullback Andries Coetzee.

Coetzee has come close to dotting the ball down beyond the whitewash a number of times, and on Saturday he again narrowly missed out.

And while Rhule said he wanted Coetzee to get his first Bok try soon, he added that every try is special, regardless of whose name it falls under on the scoresheet.

“Court and I feel for Andries because he hasn’t gotten his try yet, he’s come very close a couple of times,” Rhule said.

“The nice thing is how we share each other’s joy.

“It’s an amazing feeling and it’s even better sharing that

RAYMOND RHULE: ‘I feel for Andries’ feeling with a great bunch of guys.”

Another player who enjoyed a special moment against the Argentinians is Sharks back Curwin Bosch.

Any Springbok debut can be described as special, but what made the debut for Bosch, who was born in Port Elizabeth, even better, was the fact that he ran on to make his Test bow at home.

“It was special running out here for my first Test and it being back at home,” the 20-year-old said.

“I think it’s any rugby players dream to play for the Springboks and I’m just happy for the opportunity.”

Bosch, who can play at both flyhalf and fullback, will probably face the “what is your preferred position” question so many times in future.

When he was asked that very question after the game, he said: “At the moment I’m still developing as a player, so for now I just want to learn and develop my game.

“Whether I should play (No) 15 or 10 – that question will be answered in future.

“I’m just grateful for the opportunity that everyone’s given me.”

Chiefs happy with a draw at Celtic

ATUSAYE NYONDO: Stepped up

BLOEMFONTEIN: A plucky Bloemfontein Celtic held Kaizer Chiefs to a 1-1 draw in an Absa Premiership fixture played at the Free State Stadium yesterday. Chiefs led 1-0 at half-time.

In a cagey opening, in which neither side was prepared to risk too much, there were plenty of midfield exchanges, but nothing much to cheer about. Goalkeepers Patrick Tignyemb for Celtic and Chiefs’ Brilliant Khuzwayo had to deal with a few half-chances, but nothing that was overly stressful.

Roggert Nyundu, in his first season with Celtic, found himself in the clear early on, but was foiled by a good block tackle from Erick Mathoho. At the other end, Siphiwe Tshabalala and Keagan Buchanan

tried to make things happen, but the Celtic defence handled both attempts quite comfortably.

But Chiefs took the lead in the 37th minute when Buchanan floated in a corner and Mathoho rose majestically to head into the net.

The Soweto side then had two opportunities to increase their advantage, but Tignyemb saved from Tshepo Masilela and Venezuelan striker Gustavo Paez drilled a shot that flew agonisingly across the goal.

The action remained tight and compact in the second half, with Chiefs making a change in defence, bringing on Daniel Cardoso for Mathoho.

In the 75th minute, though, Amakhosi conceded an unfortunate penalty when the

ball hit the hand of Lorenzo Gordinho. Celtic’s Atusaye Nyondo stepped up to convert the spot-kick and put the Free State team level at 1-1.

To add more impetus to the attack, Chiefs made two more substitutions, with Hendrick Ekstein and Tshabalala withdrawn, to be replaced by William Twala and Edmore Chirambadare.

For Celtic, there was also a reinforcement from the bench, with Lucky Baloyi taken off and former Cape Town City midfielder Given Mashikinya coming on to debut for his new club.

But, with both teams seemingly satisfied with the point, and very little space available to try and and forge a winner, a draw was how it ended. – African News Agency (ANA)
