HE cost of running the
city’s Bus Rapid Tran-
sit (BRT) at a loss was
raised as “a great con-
cern” at the Southern
African Transport Conference at
the CSIR yesterday.
Transport Minister Joe Maswan-
ganyi expressed concern regarding
the future of the A Re Yeng buses
ing said there was generally a
great concern about the amount of
money spent on the BRT system.
He said the matter had been
raised by the National Treasury
and would receive attention at the
conference.
MEC for Roads and Transport
Dr Ismail Vadi said: “Current BRT
usage is not that great. We have
already invested around R15 billion

“
during his opening speech.
Maswanganyi called on at least
600 delegates to explore solutions
to the problems
related to the
business viabil-
ity of BRT sys-
tems in cities.

travelling on city 
roads.
He suggested
BRT buses were
running at a loss by not attracting
more commuters to use them.
“I have seen the BRT buses
from Hatfield and Sunnyside with
two people on board. I don’t know
whether I should continue to sub-
sidise such a bus.”
Maswanganyi threatened to
withdraw the government’s finan-
cial support for the buses and divert
it to taxis if the situation didn’’t
improve. “How do you continue to
subsidise a bus travelling with only
a driver? Who am I subsidising? The
bus driver or the bus?”
He challenged the delegates of
scientists and academics to come
up with solutions to the problem.
“If it is not working tell us
and next year we will stop it. Say
‘minister this thing is not working
because of one, two, three’. Maybe
we didn’t do thorough feasibility
studies when we conceptualised the
BRT system. It is a matter that all
in the system in the three metros,
but Gauteng usage is not more than
75 000 people per day.”
Vadi said the
BRT roll-out was
happening in the
cities. “When
fully in place,
the BRT will
comprise 700km
of dedicated bus
lanes.”
He said it was
important to ask
some serious
Ismail Vadi questions about
the system.
“Should we have
gone for some-
thing more affordable and more
viable? Do we need such fancy An A Re Yeng bus leaves Church Square.  Picture: Oupa Mokoena
stations?” he asked. Vadi said the
government was spending around
R50 million to R70m on each BRT
platform. “We must learn from
this; we need to increase usage and
reduce costs,” he said.
According to Vadi roughly 63 000
passenger trips were being under-
taken daily, with over 80 million
passenger trips having taken place
since Gautrain’s inception in 2010.
At least 140km of new tracks will
be laid in the province in the next
25 years, while 19 new Gautrain
stations are being planned.
Six of these will be located in the
capital, three in Ekurhuleni and 10 follow us on:

Joost’s kin drop battle over unsigned will

ZELDA VENTER
zelda.venter@inl.co.za
THE family of rugby legend Joost
van der Westhuizen are no longer
going ahead with legal proceedings
to try to declare a will left unsigned
by the former Springbok, as valid.
The will is said to be the last one
drafted on behalf of Joost in 2015,
in terms of which his estranged
wife Amor Vittone, only inherited
a television set.
This will was earlier rejected by
the Master of the High Court, as it
was not signed by the then already
ailing Joost. He suffered from motor
neurone disease and was too weak
to sign himself.
His lawyer, Ferdi Hartzenberg,
signed it as Commissioner of Oaths,
but someone had to sign on behalf
of Joost.
Hartzenberg did not want to
comment on the issue, other than to
confirm that they would no longer
launch urgent proceedings in the
Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, to
have that will declared valid. “I have
received instructions from Joost’s
family not to go ahead with the
application,” Hartzenberg told the
Pretoria News.
It is understood that most of
Joost’s assets have in any event
been moved to the J9 Trust, to be
administered by trustees. They are
in the process of being appointed.
Joost’s two children, Jordan, 13, and
Kylie, 11, are beneficiaries of the
trust.
It is understood that the
assets in the trust, among
others, include two properties.
The children will benefit from the
trust once they have come of age.
Amor has meanwhile submitted
a will signed by both of them in
2009, in terms of which she inher-
ited everything in the estate.
This includes Joost’s half of
their home in Dainfern Valley in
Joburg. Amor owned the other
half.
The family will also not contest
this will as it is believed that the
family are not not interested in
further confrontation with Amor
regarding Joost’s assets.
The J9 Trust is at this stage still
paying maintenance to Amor for the
care of their two children.
During an interview on a radio
station last week, Amor made it
clear that she was acting in the best
interests of her children.
Joost van der Westhuizen’s family will no longer bid to declare valid a will
leaving his wife, Amor, only a TV set. 
She wanted them to maintain the
lifestyle and hobbies that they were
accustomed to.
Joost died in February this year
following a long battle with motor
neurone disease.
Picture: Henk Kruger
He and Amor were still married
in community of property at the
time of his death, although they
were separated.
Joost made a new will – the one
rejected by the Master of the High
Court – in terms of which his chil-
dren inherited everything. In terms
of this now invalid will, Joost made
it clear that Amor may not receive
any direct benefit from the J9 Trust.
He also stated in that will that it
was important for him that his chil-
dren maintained a good relation-
ship with his parents. He asked that
the trustees assist in this regard.
He also specified certain items
in that will which he wanted his
children to have. These included
several World Cup memorabilia
which were to be divided between
the children, as well as his Spring-
bok blazers.
Joost was embroiled in bitter
legal proceedings until shortly
before his death with the Attorney’s
Fidelity Fund to secure R385 665
held in a trust account of his former
attorney, Robert Klinkenberg, who
had allegedly committed suicide
due to a shortfall of millions in his
trust account.
The court on several occasions
ruled that Joost should get his
money, despite appeal attempts
by the fund. It took Joost months
before he was able to secure this
money, which is believed to form
part of the trust.

Sunday night’s break-in at the
offices of the Gauteng North Dir-

it is understood that the laptops of
two top prosecutors, who have been
working on high-level cases, have
been stolen.
The names of the prosecutors
are known to the Pretoria News, but
NPA spokesperson Luvuyo Mfaku

He also did not want to divulge

The offices on the second floor of
the building were broken into and
it is confirmed that two laptops were
stolen.
The police confirmed that they
were still investigating the matter.
While it is not clear how the
thieves got into the building, it was
confirmed that they broke the glass
panels above the doors to the offices
and gained entry.
The break-in comes in the wake
of this year’s earlier break-in at the

Doyenne of SA trade
union movement dies
ZELDA VENTER
PROMINENT trade union vet-
eran, women’s and human rights
activist and former Restitution of
Land Rights Commissioner Emma
Mashinini died on Sunday night
at her Monument Park home in
Pretoria.
Then 87-year-old veteran had suf-
fered from heart problems for a num-
ber of years and her health deterior-
ated over time, family spokesperson
Tim Williams said.
“Passing away is always a shock,
but she suffered ill health and age
was not on her side.”
Mashinini is regarded as the doy-
enne of the trade union movement
in South Africa. She served as a shop
steward on the National Union of
Clothing Workers (NUCW) and was
a founder of the SA Commercial,
Catering and Allied Workers Union
(Saccawu) in 1975. She was integrally
involved in the establishment of the
Congress of SA Trade Union in 1985.
Mashinini committed herself to
fight for the rights of workers and
the poor. She also played several
prominent roles in the transition
to democracy in the 1980s and 1990s.
She was born in Rosettenville in
Joburg in the 1920s and was twice
subjected to forceful removals. She

“The lady was a little bit
upset but she managed to speak
politely to us. She stated that this
is not acceptable and ‘you guys

said Nkumbi.
She acknowledged to the land-
lord that they were indeed late,
and asked for a few minutes to

gising for the inconvenience.

Mashinini started working in

She served on the executive of

and was later president of Saccawu.
Mashinini was detained in 1981

a stint in solitary confinement. She
was appointed in 1994 as one of the
main commissioners of the Land

Riddle after mom,
three kids found dead
MYSTERY surrounds a young
Mpumalanga mother and her three
children who were found dead in
their home yesterday morning.
The body of the woman, believed
to be in her 20s, and that of her three
children, two boys and a girl, were
discovered in a bedroom in their
eMalahleni home by a relative and
maid.
Authorities said the four had
been dead for some time.
ER24 spokesperson Russel
Meiring said paramedics were
called to the tragic scene by local
authorities at around 8am. “When
they arrived at approximately
8.15am, paramedics were led into
the the bedroom where they found
the patients,” Meiring said.
“Upon assessment, paramedics
found the mother lying on the floor
while a 5-year-old boy, a 9-year-old
girl and 7-month-old boy were found
lying on their beds.”
Meiring said paramedics were
unable to do anything for them and
they were all declared dead.
According to Meiring, the four
appeared to have been dead for at
least six hours.
Mpumalanga police confirmed
the deaths, with Sergeant Gerald
Sedibe also explaining that the four
were found by a relative and maid.
Sedibe said: “The maid came to
work yesterday morning but found
the house locked.
“She then contacted a relative.
The relative had a spare key and was
able to gain access.”
Sedibe said the relative then
made the gruesome discovery and
alerted the police.
While police were unable to pro-
vide details surrounding the deaths
at this stage, due to the ongoing
investigation, they did however,
say the cause of deaths would only
become clear once a post-mortem
had been done.
Meiring said while the circum-
stances around the deaths remained
unclear, the bodies showed no visible
signs of injuries.
An inquest into the deaths had
been opened and police investiga-
tions were ongoing.
Mpumalanga Community Safety,
Security and Liaison MEC Pat Ngo-
mane has since spoken out on the
incident, saying he was shocked to
learn of the tragedy.
“It is indeed shocking to learn
of the deaths of the mother and her
children and we’re awaiting a full
report from the police investigating
the incident,” he said.
The MEC added that while there
was no clarity on what exactly
happened, he was relieved that an
inquest had been opened. – Khany-

‘Youth must lead transformation’ Residents livid
Young entrepreneurs, industrialists needed, Manamela tells crowd marking Mahlangu’s birthday
SAKHILE NDLAZI
sakhile.ndlazi@inl.co.za
D
EPUTY Minister for
Planning and Monitor-
ing in the Presidency,
Buti Manamela,has
challenged young
people in South Africa to lead
the struggle for socio-economic
transformation.
Manamela was speaking at
Solomon Mahlangu’s birthday
celebration in Mamelodi yesterday.
Mahlangu, commonly known as
“Kalushi”, would have turned 61
yesterday.
He was hanged in 1979 after being
convicted of murder for uMkhonto
weSizwe missions he had been part
of. In March 1978 Mahlangu was
found guilty of murder and being
a terrorist.
He was sentenced to death by
hanging. The young activist was
only 23 when he was hanged.
Manamela said the youth must
emulate Mahlangu as he strived to
change conditions at that time for
future generations. “We must be
established young entrepreneurs,
we must create black industrialists.
It’s not sustainable in any coun-
try that the majority is not part of
the mainstream economy, it’s an
unsustainable situation,” he said.
He told attendees, who included
SRC members of Wits University
and Cosas, that they must be in the
forefront of the struggle for eco-
nomic emancipation, education and
equality, among others.
Deputy Minister of Communi-
cations Thandi Mahambehlala,
Deputy Minister of Transport Sin-
disiwe Chikunga and Deputy Min-
ister of Justice and Correctional
Services Thabang Makwetla were
present at the commemoration.
Makwetla insisted that the least
youth can do is to honour that brave
generation of youth martyrs. “Your
personal development is exactly
what the young Solomon Mahlangu
had in mind, he said, quoting the
icon – ‘my blood will nourish the
tree that will bear the fruits of free-
dom. Tell my people that I love them
and they must continue to fight’.”
Makwetla also told young people
to take advantage of opportunities
presented by the government and to
use education to continue fighting
injustice.
Echoing Makwetla’s sentiments
was secretary-general of Cosas,
Khulekani Skosana, who empha-
sised the importance of school
and entrepreneurship saying that
Mahlangu dabbled in both.
“Comrade Mahlangu sold vege-
tables to support his family. He also

RAPULA MOATSHE

TRANSPORT Minister Joe Mas-
wanganyi has requested scientists
to come up with technological solu-
tions to the ongoing feud between
taxi operators and their Uber
counterparts.
Maswanganyi was speaking on
the first day of the Southern Afri-
can Transport Conference at the
CSIR in Pretoria yesterday.
The four-day conference is held
under the theme, Southern Afri-
can Solutions to Public Transport
Challenges, attended by at least 600
delegates.
Maswanganyi said technological
devices would assist to address
tension between the two warring
parties.
“The taxi industry does not want
Uber. I said to them, ‘Why don’t you
digitalise your industry?’ We can’t
resist change; we have to move with
it,” he said.
He said the police’s intervention
whenever there was taxi violence
would not bring about a lasting solu-
tion to the problem.
“There is violence in South
Africa whereby some Uber oper-
ators’ cars have been burnt. In
some instances drivers have been
assaulted. We met taxi operators
and we said to them violence is not

when it’s “that time of the month”.
Between now and Sunday though,

as part of the Million Comforts
campaign, which is being run in

When you go into Dis-Chem you
can either buy the in-house brand at

who will then match your donation
by adding another towel to your gift.
This is not just one of the most
worthwhile acts of donation in the

most controlled – every pack that is
donated is audited and stored at the
local branch. The donations are then
collected by Caring4Girls once or

and then held in their regional ware-

Academics
slam plans
for lower
pass rates
30% benchmark for science,
maths draws particular flak
ASANDE MAJOLA
AND KYLIE JAMISON
T
HE Department of Basic
Education’s recent pro-
nouncements regarding
proposed changes to the
passing requirements for Grades
7 to 9 have been criticised by aca-
demics, especially when it comes
to maths.
The department has proposed
lowering of the pass rate to 40%
for four subjects including a
home language, and to 30% for
four other subjects in those cru-
cial grades. The department has
also proposed dropping maths as
a compulsory subject in Grades
7 to 9.
Professor Robert Balfour,
acting deputy vice-chancellor of
teaching-learning at North West
University, said the department
was highlighting maths as the
key component for poor pass
rates and creating a harsher real-
ity for the state of mathematics
as a whole.
According to Balfour, children
in Grades 7 to 9 could not know
at that stage if they wanted to
pursue a career requiring maths.
“If learners and teachers
realise that they need not pass
maths to pass the grade, it might
allow for teachers to spend less
time on maths and impact nega-
tively on learners’ motivation to
study maths,” he said.
Less focus on maths may also
lead to a decrease of funding on
resources for the mathematics
departments at schools, and cre-
ate a situation where maths was
not considered to be that import-
ant, he added.
Nomusa Cembi, spokesperson
of the South African Democratic
Teachers Union (Sadtu), is of the
view that maths is a critical sub-
ject at the basic education level.
“It is important that students
are motivated to learn maths,”
she said, and that it should
be at the same level as maths
in other African countries.
However, Nkosipendule Ntantala,
president of The National Profes-
sional Teachers Organisation of
South Africa (Naptosa), believes
that the proposal could be a move
in the right direction.
“Not all students would want
to pursue a career in maths, and
thus there should be no need to
punish those (who don’t). Only
students who wish to pursue a
career in mathematics should be
obliged to take the subject.”
Ntantala said the real issue
lay with the quality of teaching
and learning in mathematics.
“Naptosa is of the view that
the sooner a decision is made
in this regard the better for the
country. They (department) does
not want to inflate marks when it
realises that learners are failing
like they did (before).”
According to figures compiled
by Triple E Training, the aver-
age numeracy level of adults in
South Africa is at Grade 2 to 3
level, despite many in the sample
having passed Grade 12.
Marinda Clack, of Triple E
Training, said this proved South
Africa’s maths literacy was poor
and so maths should remain a
compulsory subject for Grades
7, 8 and 9, and not be dropped.
Maths trains the brain for
solving problems, and not only
mathematical problem solving,
but general problem-solving
skills, she said.
“Removing maths as a com-
pulsory subject, in my opinion,
is irresponsible of the Depart-
ment of Education, considering
that problem-solving is a key
skill in the advancement of any
economy.
“Unfortunately, even maths
literacy is not sufficient to help
adults function independently.
Daily, we see how adults need
assistance to read a till slip or
understand a salary slip, let
alone manage a personal budget,”
Clack said.

Phat Joe
and ECR
agree to
part ways
SIPHELELE BUTHELEZI
IN JUST one year with East Coast
Radio, DJ Phat Joe had 77 com-
plaints lodged against him with the
Broadcasting Complaints Commis-
sion of SA (BCCSA).
Last week the station announced
an agreement to part ways as Phat
Joe pursues other ventures.
Known for his wry sense of
humour, it would appear the host
of the drive-time show was too blunt
for KwaZulu-Natal listeners.
A registrar at the BCCSA said the
presenter had 53 complaints against
him last year and 24 this year. In
one incident, the station was fined
R30 000 for a comment he made that
he was feeling “Down Syndromish”.
But the complaints were not his
reason for leaving.
Programming manager Zane
Derbyshire said the presenter left
due to commitments in Joburg.
He said while ECR respected and
attended to the complaints laid
against Phat Joe by its listeners,
those complaints did not influence
the decision not to renew his con-
tract. “We hired Phat Joe knowing
his personality and we wanted him
to bring a bit of spark to the show.
And he did. As much as we respect
our listeners, the complaints did not
influence us. The decision was taken
by him and the station. Phat Joe has
other commitments that needed him
to be in Joburg full-time.
“ECR wanted a presenter who
would make the show a number one
priority and that was impossible as
he had other commitments. There’s
no bad blood between the station and
him. We may still work with him.”
Although Derbyshire was tight-
lipped as to who would be replacing
Phat Joe, he said listeners could
expect another well-known DJ to
take over.

Fight state capture, ANC told
SACP ultimatum, but will wait until December to decide whether alliance still viable
BALDWIN NDABA
T
HE SACP has called on
the ANC to discourage
the formation of factions
and to commit itself to
the fight against state
capture.
The party stopped short yester-
day of saying it would contest elec-
tions on its own if the ANC did not
put its own house in order.
But it has given itself until
December, after the ANC national
elective conference, to determine
whether the ANC is still fit to be
the mother of its alliance partners
– or whether to seek an alternative
arrangement.
SACP general secretary Blade
Nzimande said his party was not
sure whether the “ANC wants to
unite itself or smash itself ”.
“We do not want the ANC to elect
a faction at its national elective con-
ference. If we did it in the past, we
are no longer prepared to do it,”
Nzimande said.
He maintained that the next
six months would be an important
barometer for his party to carefully
study the political situation in the
country and the ANC’s efforts to put
a stop to state capture.
Although the party declined
to reveal the identities of those
it regards as factionalists, it was
pleased the ANC had agreed to its
demand to have the ANC’s deputy
president, Cyril Ramaphosa, address
its 14th national congress at the
Birchwood Conference Centre in
the east of Johannesburg tomorrow.
SACP second deputy secretary
Solly Mapaila said the decision to
have Ramaphosa addressing the
congress was for “very obvious rea-
sons”.
“You know that we’ve asked the
ANC president (Jacob Zuma) to step
down. We did not want a repeat of
the May Day fiasco that occurred at
the Cosatu celebrations in Bloemfon-
tein. We felt it was appropriate that
we wrote to the ANC to inform them
that we needed any other delegate,
other than the president,” Mapaila
said.
They wrote that letter to the ANC
to make sure it was not Zuma who
was sent to address their delegates,
he said.
Supporting the exclusion of
Zuma, outgoing SACP first dep-
uty secretary Jeremy Cronin also
expressed his disappointment at the
ANC’s decision to postpone its trad-
itional political council meetings
with its alliance partners.
Cronin described the postpone-
ments as “regrettable”, but said his
ANC in free education push for 2018
BHEKI MBANJWA
THE ANC will push for the imple-
mentation of free education for the
academically-deserving poor and
missing middle students by the 2018
academic year.
Yesterday, the party said it would
accelerate the implementation of a
new funding model that would make
this achievable, but this would be
subject to the availability of funds.
The government is already pilot-
ing the Ikusasa Student Financial
Aid Programme – a hybrid fund-
ing model which is a partnership
between the private sector, gov-
ernment and the National Student
Financial Aid Scheme (Nsfas).
The ANC said it would also await
the Fees Commission report before
deciding on how this will be funded.
Briefing the media yesterday on
the outcomes of last week’s ANC
policy conference, NEC member Nal-
edi Pandor said education remained
an apex priority. Any failure to accel-
erate inclusive access to higher edu-
cation threatened the achievability
of the objective, she said.
Ambulance service slated
THE DA yesterday put the spotlight on
inadequate emergency health services
in Gauteng, saying the province needs
as many as 700 ambulances but plans
to buy only 114 new ones.
DA MPL Jack Bloom said at a
presentation on Friday by Gauteng
Emergency Medical Services (GEMS)
it emerged that the target was 1 474
ambulances for Gauteng, but there
were only 773 at present.
“The plan is to buy 114 ambulances
this year, but 110 ambulances were
disposed of last year due to accidents,
high mileage and high cost to repair, so
the total number of ambulances barely
increases,” said Bloom.
The MPL said ideally 33% of the
ambulance fleet had to be replaced
every year to prevent high mileage
and maintenance costs. “The number
of dispatched emergency cases has
nearly doubled from an average of

Despite its

commitment to
the alliance, the
SACP leaders created the impression
during their press briefing that they
would not support any candidate
backed by Zuma.
Improving access to higher edu-
cation should not be limited to Nsfas,
the private sector should also play a
role, she added.
Conference delegates had
resolved that no poor student should
be partially funded, depending
on the availability of resources.
“Fully subsidised cost of study will
include tuition fees, accommodation,
meals, transport and essential study
materials or learning resources, and
a stipend to cover meals and other
essential living needs – that is the
full cost of study fees,” Pandor said.
However, Vuyani Pambo, a leader
of the EFF Student Command and
#FeesMustFall, dismissed the ANC
pronouncements as grandstanding,
saying the party had no real polit-
ical will to implement free higher
education.
Pambo said the ANC had long
talked about free education.
“They (ANC) knows that an
educated nation is a nation that is
dangerous to them. Once people are
educated they know that the govern-
ment is there to serve them,” he said.
The ANC was aware that the
13 965 cases per month in 2015 to 26 063
cases per month this year,” Bloom said.
He said the GEMS budget for 2017
was R1.175 billion.
However, R223 million of the budget
would be used to pay debts from the
previous year.
“It is unclear where the money will
come from for the projected overspend
this year of R218m,” Bloom said.
The DA MPL said other problems
included makeshift EMS facilities,
inadequate wash bays and sluice
rooms, as well as a shortage of quali-
fied paramedics.
“It is distressing that the emer-
gency services are in such poor shape
as slow response times increase the
risk of death,” Bloom said.
“Better management of the avail-
able budget is needed, including
contracts with private ambulances to
provide a better service.” – ANA

“We are not pushing the ANC off
the cliff; there are people who are

According to the SACP, the litmus
test for its sup-

would be a new
leadership that is
committed to the
fight against state
capture. It said
the ANC Top Six

in “paralysis”.

#FeesMustFall “season” is coming
up later in the year. Therefore, it was
trying to defuse this by making the
announcement, he said.
“For as long as there is no free
education, students must protest.”
Pambo said money to fund free
higher education would be made
available if corruption, illicit finan-
cial flows and wasteful expenditure
were curbed.
Tsakani Xivata, deputy president
of the ANC-aligned SA Students
Congress (Sasco), said the propos-
als by the policy conference offered
hope that free education might be
achieved by next year.
The student organisation has
been pushing for the implementation
of free education by next year, say-
ing it will not accept anything less.
“We will await the Fees Commission
report. At least now there are time
frames but what is being proposed
is the Sizwe Nxasana funding model
we rejected at the policy conference
as it is highly privatised.”
Sasco was proposing a corporate
tax as one of the instruments to fund
free education.

College infrastructure
probe on cards – Blade
MAYIBONGWE MAQHINA
THE Higher Education Department
will undertake an audit and verifi-
cation of the infrastructure at tech-
nical and vocational education and
training (TVET) colleges later this
year, minister Blade Nzimande says.
Nzimande said this in a written
parliamentary reply from the DA’s
Michael Bagraim, who enquired
about the report on the maintenance
of infrastructure at TVET colleges,
which the department had reported
to Parliament last month.
Bagraim wanted to know if the
report had quantified the budget
needed to maintain and replace the
infrastructure at colleges.
Nzimande said the report was not
yet available.
“The department has secured
donor funding from the European
Union to enable a full audit and
verification of TVET college infra-
structure,” he said, adding that a ser-
vice provider was expected to start

The SACP leaders said they would
continue to talk to those parties if

Mapaila said: “We will continue
discussions with Save South Africa
to defend our democracy and the
constitution.”

“The lack of accommodation was

NDZ turns to
church to boost
her campaign
BONGANI HANS
ANC presidential hopeful Nko-
sazana Dlamini Zuma has turned
to the church and social networks to
give impetus to her ambition to lead
the ANC and South Africa.
The former AU Commission
chairperson spent part of her week-
end addressing congregants at the
Roman Catholic Church in Mari-
annhill, west of Durban. She also
tweeted about the importance of a
woman in a leadership position.
This was the first time that
Dlamini Zuma spoke openly about
the presidential race in which she
and Deputy President Cyril Rama-
phosa are regarded as frontrunners.
“I am saying it is time for a
woman to be in charge. If we can run
our homes we can run the country,”
said Dlamini Zuma, without specif-
ically mentioning herself.
She has been spending a lot of
her time in KwaZulu-Natal, her
stronghold province, addressing
gatherings ever since her return
from Ethiopia, where she was the
chairperson of the AU Commission.
She is strongly supported by
the ANC Youth League, the ANC
Women’s League and the MK Mil-
itary Veterans Association. Rama-
phosa has been endorsed by Cosatu
and the SACP, among others.
Ever since the ANC and its alli-
ance partners started talking about
succession, Dlamini Zuma had
refused to be drawn into the mat-
ter, but this weekend she said that
only when a woman is in charge will
women taste freedom.
Dlamini Zuma also enjoys the
support of her former husband,
President Jacob Zuma, who will step
down as ANC president in December
when the party holds its elective
conference in Joburg.
“Once we elect a woman, she will
do what we want as women,” said
Dlamini Zuma.
She encouraged women to
organise themselves in order
to have their views heard by the
government.
“If a woman is elected we will
encourage her to work with organised
women. But there is no woman who
can run the country without being
voted into power,” she said.
Dlamini Zuma seemed to be going
all out to campaign for the top spot.
She also said: “We are oppressed
because we are poor, black and
female. Women are not only over
50% of the population but we also
produce the other 50%.”

But she received a backlash from
some Twitter users. Sarah-Leigh
Elago @GeniusLeigh said: “You were
the AU chairperson, first woman for
that matter, and you didn’t do much.
Tell me how will you run a country?
Smh!”
The Black Inferno @Brotherchar-
coal tweeted: “To call yourself poor
just to get poor people’s support and
votes just shows what you really
think poor people are good for.”
Political analyst Ralph Mathekga
said Dlamini Zuma had started cam-
paigning as soon as she landed at
OR Tambo International Airport on
her return from Ethiopia.
“Those who organised her wel-
coming intentionally did so to begin
her election campaign, as this por-
trayed her as someone who is ready
to lead the ANC.
“She has demonstrated a willing-
ness to pick a fight,” he said.
Mathekga said although Dlamini
Zuma never mentions herself when
she addresses gatherings, “she has
got other people to mention her
name for her”.
Mathekga said Ramaphosa had
also started his campaign, as had
parliamentary Speaker Baleka
Mbete, who also harbours presiden-
tial ambitions.
“It is a clandestine campaign.
People are using opportunities at
official functions to actually make
themselves available for leadership,”
said Mathekga.
The ANC had banned candidates
from campaigning before the process
is officially opened in September.
Ramaphosa, meanwhile, has
addressed gatherings in the Eastern
Cape, where he delivered a keynote
address at a fundraising gala dinner
for the United Methodist Church of
Southern Africa in Mthatha.
He also spoke at the 20th anni-
versary of the Eastern Cape House
of Traditional Leaders in Bhisho
Stadium.
Ramaphosa told Methodist
Church followers that the church
had a critical role in fighting corrup-
tion and maladministration.
“When the SACC (SA Council of
Churches) established an Unbur-
dening Panel on these issues, it
affirmed the deep commitment of
the Church to work to address soci-
ety’s wrongs,” he said.
He told traditional leaders that
the ANC would – through its poli-
cies, which were agreed upon at its
policy conference for adoption at
the national general conference in
December – improve their lives.

Eight die in Burundi
grenade attack on pub
BUJUMBURA: Eight people have
been killed and another 50 injured
in a grenade attack carried out on
Sunday night by unknown persons
in a pub on the Shinya Zone,
Garatara Commune, in the province
of Kayanza, in central Burundi.
Witnesses said six of the victims
died at the scene, while two more
people died in hospital.
The Administrator of the
commune, Dévote Ndayizeye, said it
was not known who was responsible
for the attack. It was one of the
worst attacks on civilians since
the outbreak of the political crisis
in 2015, when President Pierre
Nkurunziza announced that he
would run for a third term in office.
Human rights bodies have
reported that more than 1 200 people
have been killed in political violence
since then.

LONDON: Embattled British Prime
Minister Theresa May is urging the
opposition to help shore up her min-

The appeal comes nearly a year

Cracks
in Syrian
ceasefire
New talks launched
GENEVA
T
HE UN launched new
Syrian peace talks in
Geneva yesterday just as
the first cracks appeared
in a regional ceasefire
that came into effect at the weekend.
The truce in the south-west of
the country was brokered by the
US, which backs armed rebels, and
Russia, which provides military sup-
port to President Bashar al-Assad’s
troops.
Similar agreements have been
reached in the past with the aim of
creating the right setting for peace
talks in Geneva, but none lasted
long.
Since the beginning of the cease-
fire on Sunday shells have fallen on
the city of Daraa and some clashes
were registered in the area, although
there were no casualties, according
to the Britain-based Syrian Observ-
atory for Human Rights.
The watchdog added that some
shells also fell in the eastern
countryside of the Daraa Govern-
orate, wounding one person.
Issam al-Rayess, who heads the
southern front for the Free Syrian
Army, said that there had been many
breaches of the ceasefire, including
one that killed six of his rebel fight-
ers in the Sweida region.
“The Syrian army at dawn today
launched an attack on areas manned
by the Free Syrian Army – not as
they claimed against the Islamic
State,” he told dpa from Geneva.

man.
Previous rounds involving
Assad’s government and the
opposition have not yielded any
tangible results, as the parties could
not even agree to sit at the same
table.
As De Mistura started a new week
of shuttle diplomacy between the
two sides, the partial ceasefire that
started on Sunday offered at least a
glimpse of hope.
The deal covers the provinces
of Daraa, Sweida and Quneitra,
which have been the scene of fight-
ing between government forces and
rebels in recent weeks.
Details of the truce have not been
made public, but the Syrian Observ-
atory for Human Rights has said the
pact foresees aid deliveries and sets
the scene for gradual repatriation
of refugees from neighbouring Jor-
dan.
Ahmed Ramadan, the spokes-
person of the opposition Syrian
National Coalition, told dpa that his
delegation would hand De Mistura a
memorandum discussing the fate of
Syrian refugees in Lebanon’s Arsal
area.
The opposition is accusing the
Lebanese army of trying to displace
Syrian refugees on the premise of
fighting terrorists.
During a Lebanese army raid in
a refugee camp last week, five sui-
cide bombers blew themselves up,
wounding seven troops and killing

a decreasing amount being used

Coal is still responsible for the
largest releases of carbon dioxide,
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
into the environment.

RETORIA is more than
500km from the sea,
yet the National Zoo-
logical Gardens in the
city boasts the largest
inland marine and freshwater
aquarium in the country.
Adjacent to the zoo and estab-
lished in 1974, the 3 000m² aquar-
ium and reptile park site has a
large variety of species, including
215 species of fish, five species of
invertebrates and 16 species of
amphibians.
One of the most exotic crea-
tures is the endangered Knysna
seahorse, and one of the most
popular among children is “Nemo”
the clownfish. But did you know
Pretoria also has its own rag-
ged-tooth shark in the aquarium?
The shark has proved to be
adaptable to aquarium life with
the first ragged-tooth shark birth
in captivity captured on camera at
uShaka Marine World in Durban.
Because ours is a zoo with
national status, conservation, edu-
cation, research and innovation
are key.
Being so far from the sea, the
zoo produces its own “sea” water
at the aquarium using a salt-mix
formula.
“You would never believe we
are in the city centre, with all this
peace and quiet,” said the zoo’s
marketing manager Craig Allenby
as he showed us around.
In addition to marine fish, it
also has a range of river fish from
local to international waters, and a
display of fish from Lake Malawi.
The piranha went into a
“frenzy” when fed, but said
Allenby, they are not as evil as
people make them out to be.
Among the fish he recommends
as a must-see is the Mexican cave
fish which live in the dark and are
practically blind.
The aquarium is not only about
fish: it offers the chance to see
penguins, and amphibians.

Tribute
to unsung
hero
of our
Struggle
Sefularo espoused vision for health
underpinned by restoration of dignity
Zweli
Mkhize
W
E PAY tribute to Dr Molefi
Sefularo, one of the unsung
heroes of our freedom. We
remember the life of a loyal
and humble servant of our
people, a friend and a committed cadre
who selflessly placed his entire life in ser-
vice of his nation.
We draw inspiration from Sefularo’s life
of service. We are reminded that beyond
our political mandate there has to be a
willingness and dedication to serve the
people that takes precedence over material
gain. His life was an expression of his
unwavering allegiance to the Struggle for
freedom of his people and loyalty to the
ANC until his very last breath.
As medical students and health activ-
ists, we were inspired by the WHO Dec-
laration which reaffirms that health is a
fundamental human right.
Among its tenets are that the inequality
in the health status of people is politically,
socially and economically unacceptable;
that primary health care is essential health
care and that a national health system
should bring health care as close as possible
to the people.
Oppression and racial discrimination
militated against any effort to provide
quality health to our people during apart-
heid. Our people suffered and died from
predictable preventable diseases because
of apartheid – the major killers being
tuberculosis, malnutrition, diarrhoea and
infectious diseases that were not known in
developed countries.
Sefularo was born on July 9, 1957. He
was the son of farmworkers whose family
lived at Buffelsvlei in the Venterdorp Dis-
trict of the then-Western Transvaal. His
father got a job in Potchefstroom and this
is where Molefi spent most of his youth.
Did Putin,Trump’s meeting help break cycle of stormy relations?
ELENA VANYNA
Moscow
T
HE FIRST meeting between Rus-
sian President Vladimir Putin and
US President Donald Trump, on the
sidelines of the G20 summit in Hamburg
on Friday, overshadowed the main agenda
of the top-level discussions.
Everyone followed their talks closely
in the hope of getting a clue about how
relations between the two countries, which
spiralled into a deep crisis under Barack
Obama, might develop.
What made their meeting so important
was not so much the details as the fact that
it might provide a chance to restore the
dialogue between Russia and the US after
a long pause when relations were at their
lowest point.
Most observers tended to interpret the
meeting positively even though Trump
remains a hostage of the political situation
in the US, basically tied hand and foot.
During his election campaign, Trump
spoke favourably of Putin and expressed
hope for better relations with Russia.
But he then faced fierce resistance
from the American political elite, both
among the Democrats and the Republic-
ans. Trump’s opponents and those who
generally do not want better relations
with Russia claim that Moscow allegedly
interfered in the American presidential
election when anonymous hackers leaked
e-mails exposing the Democratic National
Committee’s intrigues. They argue that
this was one of the reasons for Democratic
candidate Hillary Clinton’s defeat.
Trump and his team have also been
accused of hobnobbing with the Rus-
sian ambassador to the US, although
these were no more than regular busi-
ness contacts, and of nearly commit-
ting treason against the US. Russia had
become the main weapon opponents used
against Trump well before he met Putin in
person, which forced him to make several
anti-Russian statements.
It is no wonder their meeting attracted
His activism led to his expulsion from
Tlokwe Secondary School.
He was sent to a boarding school in
Hebron, north-west of Pretoria.
After matric, he proceeded to the Uni-
versity of the North to do his pre-Medical
studies. This is where, together with his
peers who became his life-long comrades
and cadres in the ANC; the People’s Army,
Umkhonto we Sizwe; and the SACP, he
grew his commitment to the attainment of
political freedom, economic emancipation
and democracy.
Most of our student and youth activism
was inspired by the Black Consciousness
movement led by Steve Bantu Biko and
others. The value of the BC philosophy
was the creation of a sense of confidence
and assertiveness of the black community
and rejection of liberalism in which some
whites patronised black people as their
spokespersons. “Black man you are on your
own” as the slogan went.
When the Black Consciousness move-
ments were outlawed in 1977 after Biko
died, a move was started to revive the
organisations in the form of Azanian
People’s Organisation.
Sefularo was one of the founding mem-
bers of the Azanian Students Organisation
(Azaso) in 1979, which brought him into
close contact with peers in other univer-
sities.
When I met Sefularo, the level of mil-
itant activism was rising among the youth,
many of whom were recruited into the
military Struggle inside and outside the
country. Medical students and health activ-
ists were mobilised into the Struggle for
liberation; participation being a logical
extension of our training.
Sefularo’s days as a student activist con-
tinued when he left Turfloop and came to
the Medical University of Southern Africa
(Medunsa). Sefularo was president of the
SRC at Medunsa until 1984.
The creation of Medunsa was not with-
out controversy, wherein the idea was to

On Saturday, Trump described his talks

to train as doctors for homeland hospital
services. This was vigorously opposed by
the students and academic staff.
Ultimately, the apartheid government
relented. Medunsa was opened but the
University of Natal would not close. Stu-
dents in both institutions embarked on a
campaign to work on the medical training
curricula. To the dismay of the university
administration, we pleaded guilty to motiv-
ating the Medunsa campus to form an SRC
and introducing militant students politics.
By the time the first cohort of students
qualified, the university was a top insti-
tution that produced top clinicians out of
black students.
Sefularo was among the activists who
could count among their achievements our
struggle for quality education.
Sefako Makgatho University staff and
students must know the pride with which
this university is viewed by society. The
name Sefako Makgatho must remain a
source of inspiration because of the mem-
ory of the man it celebrates.
Sefularo did his internship at Natal-
spruit Hospital. He worked as a senior
medical officer at Thusong Community
Hospital in Itsoseng, where he was well
placed to care for local communities and
execute his work as a member of the ANC
and MK.

ong Community Hospital for political activ-
ism by the then-president of the Bantustan
of Bophuthatswana, the local commun-
“Certain prerequisites have been created
for that,” he said after the talks, which
had allowed him to establish a personal
relationship with Trump.
The meeting lasted two hours and
15 minutes instead of the 40 minutes
initially scheduled.
Putin noted that Russia’s alleged “inter-
ference” in the US elections had topped
the agenda of the talks. Moscow has
repeatedly denied all allegations claiming
it was trying to influence the outcome of
elections in different countries. Kremlin
ity was disappointed. Communities that
Sefularo had mobilised, such as traditional
healers, felt robbed of a caring health prac-
titioner who had programmes and plans for
community development and integration
of Western medicine with indigenous Afri-
can healing practices.
Sefularo then worked as national policy
co-ordinator, National Progressive Primary
Health Care Network between 1992 and
1993.
He was a member of the National Med-
ical and Dental Association (Namda), and
served as publicity and information sec-
retary of the ANC in the Itsoseng branch.
The people of Itsoseng remember him
as a tireless servant and fearless fighter
for freedom, social justice and democracy.
Together with many other activists, he
mobilised the entire Itsoseng and surround-
ing villages placing his own resources,
including his car at the disposal of his
fellow activists.
His house was a venue for ANC meetings
and political workshops.
He chaired the ANC Health Desk in
Klerksdorp (now part of the North West)
and in 1993 began lecturing at Wits Uni-
versity.
At the dawn of our democracy in 1994,
Sefularo served as a member of the Prov-
incial Executive Committee (PEC) and the
first MEC for Health in North West.
He was chairperson of the Cabinet Com-
mittee on Reconstruction and Development
Programme (RDP).

In 1999 he was re-appointed as the MEC
for Health in the North West, a position that
he held up to 2004 when he was deployed to
serve in the National Parliament.
As MEC for health he led the amalgam-
ation of the fragmented departments of
health that we inherited from our apart-
heid past – Bophuthatswana Department
of Health, Western Transvaal TPA Health
Services, Cape Provincial Administration
Health Services and the National Depart-
ment of Health.
He established a vibrant Department of
Health and Social Welfare, with health dis-
tricts at local municipality levels plus four
regions aligned to District Health Councils.
He was passionate about and committed
to District Health System and Primary
Health Care and as a result, North West
was always ahead in this field.
He was a mentor with a rare gift of
building the confidence of those he worked
with. He invested in the growth of many
young managers, through practical guid-
ance, suggesting courses to attend and
books to read.
He was a member of the Council of
the University of Witwatersrand (Wits)
from 2005 until 2009, supported the launch
of the Wits Centre for Rural Health in
2009, opened the School of Public Health’s
research day and chaired the inaugural
meeting of the School’s Priceless project,
which explores the cost-effectiveness of
health interventions.
Dr Molefi Sefularo was appointed as
issue of Russia’s election meddling, while
Putin demanded proof.
“Our position is well known and I
repeated it: there are no reasons to believe
that Russia interfered in the US electoral
process,” Putin said at a news conference
in Hamburg.
He said Trump had asked multiple
questions and “I answered them as best I
could and told him about my dialogues on
this matter with the previous administra-
tion and my conversations with President
Obama. I think he took it into consideration
and agreed with it,” Putin added.
Putin and Trump also discussed other
issues that cause tension in bilateral rela-
tions, including the conflict in Syria and
the situation in Ukraine. Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov and his American
counterpart, Tillerson, revealed more
details about the discussion.
First, the presidents of Russia and the
US reached a ceasefire agreement in the
de-escalation zone in the south-west of
Syria (Daraa, Quneitra, and As-Suwayda
governorates). The ceasefire became effect-
ive on Sunday from noon.
Four de-escalation zones are being
created in Syria with the mediation of
Russia, Turkey and Iran. Their perimeter
is expected to be guarded by foreign troops.
Lavrov said on Friday that the Russian
military police would ensure security in
the de-escalation zone in the south of Syria
in co-ordination with the US and Jordan.
Talks on the other de-escalation zones
would continue, he said.
Second, Russia and the US agreed to set
up a bilateral communication channel on
Ukraine. Previously, Moscow and Washing-
ton discussed the issue through Russian
presidential aide Vladislav Surkov and
US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria
Nuland, who left the Department of State
after the change of administration.
On Friday, Tillerson appointed former
US ambassador to Nato Kurt Volker as the
special representative for Ukraine.
The third topic was cyber-security. The
leaders agreed that a special joint working

deputy minister of health on September 25,
2008. He espoused a new vision for health
in the country underpinned by his com-
mitment to the restoration of our people’s
dignity through improved health care ser-
vices. His commitment to better health and
the elimination of communicable diseases
such as HIV and tuberculosis is immeas-
urable.
Sefularo was intelligent, soft-spoken,
patient and difficult to provoke. He was
highly organised and loved applying a sys-
tems approach to challenges.
He was brutally honest (but) also
extremely funny, especially in the company
of his immediate family and the broader
family of comrades and friends.
He was an avid reader and prolific
writer and committed to education and
training of health professionals.
The gift that he, like Ernesto Che Gue-
vara, bequeathed to all of us was selfless
service and compassion for those trapped
under conditions of helplessness, depriva-
tion and poverty.
Sefularo participated in the debates
on the issue of HIV and Aids. It was not
easy when there was inadequate know-
ledge about the pandemic, no cure, no hope
and no agreement on how to approach the
challenge.
It was later together with Minister Elias
Motsoaledi that an aggressive strategy was
undertaken with massive testing and roll-
out of antiretroviral treatment.
The current administration has been
able to achieve dramatic reduction in inci-
dence of the disease, mother-to-child trans-
mission and increase in the life expectancy.
He was a passionate advocate for
National Health Insurance, recognising
the role the private sector must play in
the process of public consultation and its
implementation.
In his last contribution to the ANC
in 2010, he wrote passionately about the
importance of the need for quality health
care for the poor. “Our first priority lies in
recognising that health care and, indeed, all
public service, is based on values of caring,
dedication and integrity; and that this has
to be led from the top, from our leadership.”
As we remember the life of Molefi
Sefularo, we must make a solemn commit-
ment never to betray the cause for which
he fought all his life.
We must recommit ourselves to advan-
cing the ideals and protecting the legacy he
left us; the legacy of selflessness, sacrifice,
humility and an unwavering commitment
to serve his people.
In honour of Dr Molefi Sefularo, we
must always have the courage to speak
against all those who abuse their positions
of power and authority to trample upon the
rights of others. We must speak against
those who enrich themselves through cor-
ruption and graft.
To honour his contribution in the liber-
ation movement we need to deepen unity
in the ANC, dismantle factionalism and
rebuild trust and confidence in our people
that their liberation movement still has
what it takes to steer the country to a future
of prosperity.
We need to work hard to rebuild the hope
of our people to believe in a dream of one
united nation of South Africans, which
is devoid of racism and ethnicity, free of
crime and violence, especially against
women and children.
The story of his life must be told for the
youth to be inspired by the example of this
gallant fighter and revolutionary.

group would address the issue to prepare
a framework agreement.
Finally, Putin and Trump discussed
the Russian diplomatic facilities seized by
US authorities.
Lavrov said the sides could not resolve
the issue, which was one of the major
irritants in bilateral relations.
On December 29 last year, outgoing
President Obama sent 35 Russian diplo-
mats and their families out of the US and
ordered the summer houses of the Russian
diplomatic missions in New York and Wash-
ington to be closed and seized.
Russia has not retaliated, hoping to
resolve this issue with Trump.
If these efforts prove futile, the Russian
authorities might declare some 30 Amer-
ican diplomats persona non grata and seize
American diplomatic property in Moscow.
This would be a rather inopportune step
after the meeting in Hamburg, which did
not produce any sensational results but
gave hope for improvement.
When asked whether there was a chance
of leading the Russian-American relations
out of their crisis, Putin said. “I hope so
very much, and certain prerequisites have
been created for that.”
“Chemistry or not, but a working con-
tact with Trump has been established.
And this is definitely a positive thing,”
said Carnegie Moscow Centre Director
Dmitri Trenin.
Although most observers believe the
meeting between Putin and Trump was
generally positive, there is much to be done
in order to put bilateral relations back
on track.
One issue that apparently was not
raised during the meeting is nuclear arms
cuts, which the Russian president has
repeatedly described as one of the key
issues on the Russian-US agenda, as well
as Nato’s eastward enlargement towards
the Russian border.
US Congress is scheduled to debate new
sanctions against Russia shortly, and it
remains to be seen whether Trump can
reverse this trend.

Our new
SA fails to
grasp media
freedom
T
HE MAD ranting of Black First
Land First, amounting to the harass-
ment of journalists, shouldn’t come
as a surprise. Frankly, it seems to me that
freedom of the media is seen as a right
that politicians can hand over and take
away as they see fit.
A few incidents over the last two dec-
ades of our freedom show that we all need
to go back to school to learn what this
freedom means.
The conduct started with the founder
of our democracy and was carried forth
by all his successors. And we haven’t got it
right. Even opposition parties have joined
in from time to time for good measure.
Nelson Mandela attempted to get black
editors to report on activities of his admin-
istration in a favourable way, and had
some heated exchanges with the media
as a result.
By calling on black journalists to report
like sheep, he demonstrated a deep mis-
understanding that while black journalists
might share political perspectives with the
ANC, especially before the 1994 elections,
they owed the ANC nothing and were
obliged to report the truth without fear,
favour or prejudice.
Mandela’s belief that the Fourth Estate
should join in nation building made him
forget what the constitution – that he
signed into law in 1996 – said about the
freedom of the press.
Thabo Mbeki’s biggest weakness was
to see journalists as intellectually inferior
beings who “don’t get it”. While this was
never expressed explicitly, it was felt by
journalists who dared challenge him.
Even though, as the head of the state,
he could be published at any time, he
reckoned the only way the ANC could
put its views across was for the party to
have its own newspaper, where its per-
spective would not be edited by intellectual
underlings. He launched one with a key
feature being his own Letter from the
President, meant to put across an unmedi-
ated perspective. The project didn’t outlive
his presidency.
While there is space for unmediated
communications, the launch of the news-
letter showed a certain level of intolerance
towards media freedom to express how the
media felt about his administration.
Essop Pahad, one of Mbeki’s right-hand
men, who ironically is editor of a Journal
called The Thinker, was the worst enforcer
of deeds that carried the terrible under-
standing of what press freedom meant,
and was the first to think up an advertising
ban against newspapers that were seen to
be rude towards the government.
This mad idea was implemented in
certain parts of the government against
the likes of the Mail & Guardian. I’m glad
it was generally ignored in large parts of
the government, but sadly, it’s rearing its
ugly head again, this time led by Arts and
Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa.
The Zuma administration is acute in its
ignorance of what press freedom meant
and is crude about it. Legislation that
sought to intimidate journalists has been
pursued since Zuma came on to the scene.
The so-called Secrecy Bill tops the list
as the scariest of the lot. The envisaged
media appeals tribunal was the creation of
cowards who’ve failed to create a positive
reputation for the ANC and are left with
exploring intimidation tactics such as this.
The legislation, passed in 2007, hasn’t
seen the light of day, largely because the
arguments for it are weak and unlikely to
withstand constitutional muster.
Despite a full inquiry conducted by the
late Judge Pius Langa indicating that the
self-regulation mechanism could only be
strengthened and not discarded or placed
under politicians, the Zuma regime seems
determined to go to war with the media.
Part of the strategy was to create propa-
ganda tools such as the government rag
called Vuk’Zenzele, which has proved to
be ineffective, reaching only about 30% of
its target audience.
If that wasn’t enough bad news for
proper journalism in the new South
Africa, enter The New Age and ANN7,
representing some of the worst journalism
enterprises since 1994 in the name of an
alternative narrative.
While the context of planting a bad
seed is understood as giving rise to dema-
goguery against the media, it must pro-
vide an opportunity to revise our attitude
towards this freedom. The police must
start by arresting Andile Mngxitama for
defying the court interdict that prohibits
him from intimidating journalists.
Similarly, action must be taken against
Mthethwa for threatening to withdraw
government advertising from the so-called
negative press. This is equally an assault
on media freedom; as is Helen Zille’s can-
cellation of her subscription to the Cape
Times, or even the blacklisting of ANN7
from EFF events by Julius Malema.
While it’s easy to refer to what the ANC
has done against a free press, it looks like
the party is in good company.
There is a need for all of us to take a
pause and refresh our understanding of
what it means to have a constitution that
protects the Fourth Estate jealously.

ANC’s six-day war
over policy​
D
ISPUTED resolutions,
deferred decisions and
policy uncertainty were the
prime bequests of the policy
conference of the governing
ANC to the troubled organisation. Hot
on the heels of these incongruities were
opaque proposals on how the ANC will
act on wobbly state institutions that
need to implement policy, and por-
ous pitches on improved ethics and
integrity.
Even more, the proceedings con-
firmed that the ANC leadership was in
stalemate. Leadership is in transition
and factional leaders lack the authority
to steer policy in directions that will
address the country’s massive delivery
backlog.
To the question: is President Jacob
Zuma leading the ANC on to a path
of implosion, the verdict is a sad but
unambiguous “yes”.
The conference confirmed the presi-
dent and his faction were not letting go –
neither of their ambitions to determine
Zuma’s successor, nor of their efforts
to make “radical economic transform-
ation” their platform.
The conference confirmed the ANC
recognised that the cancer of corruption
and capture afflicted it badly. Yet the
organisation remains stunted in finding
ways to deal with it.
While the conference opted for unity,
it’s a unity that precludes cutting out
the cancer because it’s embedded in
a faction that’s not budging. It will do
everything in its power to retain power.
That includes gambling with the confer-
ence’s policy outcomes.
The policy conference was, in effect, a
six-day war over policy. Factional forces
manoeuvred relentlessly to secure
influence and power. The epitomé of
this deep factionalism was that Zuma
in his closing address put forward a
“power-sharing” proposal. His inter-
vention tried to influence delegates
to campaign for sharing the top ANC
leadership positions.
But the president’s factional interests
meant his proposal carried little weight.
Letters TO THE EDITOR
Solution to SA woes
LIFE is not easy and it has never been
easy. The blame game always takes
things from better to worse, because
there’s no accountability. And where
there’s no accountability maturity and
progress will be compromised.
As the Republic of South Africa, most
of the problems we face today existed
before, but they were under control.
The problems are piling up because
we fail to set priorities. We can debate,
but the fact is the “blame game” never
improved any nation. We should learn to
prioritise, we can’t resolve and achieve
everything at once.
As a nation we have to identify, ana-
lyse and prioritise our problems. By so
doing we will avoid neglecting issues
that are urgent, such as unemployment,
poor education, and corruption.
We should set our priorities straight,
“to avoid running around like headless
chickens”.

Affected by the succession campaign,
the overall outcome was approximate
policy anarchy.
The national policy conference, held
every five years, is the ANC’s precursor
to the December national elective con-
ference that also adopts the final policy
resolutions to supplement or substitute
previous policy.
The character of the conference
revealed a great deal about the indeci-
sive and stalemate state of the current
ANC. Unlike previous ones, there was
no reliable stream of reports containing
draft resolutions. And it failed to deliver
consensual recommendations on crucial
matters.
Several of the media briefings were
delayed or rushed due to ongoing con-
tests – some rhetorical, some ideological
– between factions in commissions. The
secretary-general’s report, which men-
tioned the problem of how Zuma has
allowed the Indian-born Gupta family to
wield undue and corrupting influence,
was tabled. But it was immediately dis-
credited by the pro-Zuma faction.

report and proposed resolutions on

We should act with a clear under-
standing that no nation is perfect. But if
we do our best to redress what matters
most, our outcome will be a success.

knew he couldn’t achieve or do every-
thing at once or alone. He did what he

his time. It lies on our shoulders to do
the same and do our best to influence
beneficial change where we can, and
were it matters most.

volunteer for 67 minutes, but pledge to

making our nation a better one.

The briefing on organisational
renewal was largely made up of a shop-
ping list of issues that had been dis-

Policy certainty was a mirage. The
best indicators of future policy were to
be found in the subtly changing balance
of forces in the succession contest for
national ANC leadership. This was the
price that the ANC and its factions paid
for its short-term goal of unity.
The factional struggle was clearest
around the battle over the terminol-
ogy of “radical economic transforma-
tion”. Under this umbrella lay issues
such as land expropriation, the mining
charter and the role of the Reserve
Bank. Where resolutions on these mat-
ters materialised, such as “monopoly

monopoly capitalism”, the battle was
merely deferred. The reported losers

AUGUST is dubbed Women’s Month. The
month affords the nation an opportunity
to acknowledge the invaluable contri-
bution made by females in the Struggle
against apartheid.
It’s a select few women who are
recognised – and they belong to the gov-
erning party. Winnie Madikizela-Man-
dela and Albertina Sisulu come to mind.
Those who belong to other political
organisations are not recognised.
Having said that, there are women
in our generation, and in our localities,
who are doing their bit in their corners
to better the lives of others.
They are also an inspiration.

between whether South Africa finds
itself in a “second transition” or in the
“second phase of the transition to a

Ten years ago the divisive question
was whether then president Thabo

ANC president.
Opposing factions compromised,
deciding that the ANC president should
“preferably” only run for two terms.
This was followed by the Polokwane
national conference at which Mbeki lost
to Zuma as party leader.
If the ANC still has the power to
self-correct – or ensure that its centre
holds – it certainly didn’t show at this
recent policy conference.
The need to be radical and ensure
equity and justice were conflated with
the opportunistic appropriation of

Brave Khoza
highlights
ANC pickle
T
HE ANC, fresh from its underwhelming
national policy conference last week,
which was more a proxy battle about
the upcoming elective conference than
any think tank on a blueprint for the future,
faces a new threat – from deep within its ranks.
Makhosi Khoza is an ANC backbencher with
a proven record in public and private institu-
tions, who could well have made a life for her-
self outside politics. As such, she is perhaps one
of the most dangerous voices in an institution
often crippled by patronage.
She is refusing to be silenced by her party
bosses and today stands out as a lone voice,
urging the ANC to let its members in the
House vote in secret when the Speaker tables
the no-confidence debate on the president next
month.
It is a gambit that the party dare not allow
because the stakes are simply too high.
The problem for the ANC is that Khoza is
articulating what many South Africans think
– and which party secretary-general Gwede
Mantashe highlighted last week – that the party
no longer represents the aspirations of the
people, but rather a self-enriching corrupt elite,
which people join in a bid to milk the system,
rather than serving it.
To make matters worse, Khoza has received
death threats, further adding to the perception
it is dangerous to speak against the status quo,
especially in a province like KwaZulu-Natal
where people are assassinated for their political
views and ambitions.
Which leaves the ANC in an invidious pos-
ition. Every party holds its members to a code
of conduct, disciplining them when they break
ranks. If it acts against Khoza, though, it would
be seen to bullying a brave and principled
ANC members agree exists throughout the
organisation.
If it does nothing, it runs the risk of
fomenting – and tacitly legalising – a revolt not
just in its party caucus, but all the way down to
the grassroots, creating a schism so fundamen-
tal it could destroy the party forever.
The ANC truly is in an invidious position.

BRIDGE
AN EXTRA ENTRY
Entries, my theme this
week, are the means by
which declarer places
the lead in one hand or
the other.
Suppose you’re declarer
at today’s six spades.
West leads a club, and
you take your ace. To
make the slam, you need
either to pick up the
trumps without loss or
set up the diamonds for
four heart discards.
Say you cash the A-K of
trumps. East discards
a club. You can take the
queen of diamonds, ruff
your last club in dummy
and cash the A-K of
diamonds, but when
the suit breaks 4-2, West
ruffs the third diamond.
No matter what he leads
next, you must lose a
heart for down one.
BEST CHANCE
Your best chance lies with
the diamonds, but you
need an extra entry to
dummy to establish the
suit and then cash the
good diamonds. Take the
queen of diamonds at
Trick Two, then lead the
ace and deuce of trumps.
West takes the queen
and forces dummy to
ruff a club. You can ruff
a diamond, then return
to dummy with the jack

of trumps to run the

low hearts.
DAILY QUESTION
You hold: ♠ A K 10 3 2 ♥ A
9 8 6 2 ♦ Q ♦ A 4. Your side
is vulnerable. The dealer,
at your right, opens one
diamond. What do you
say?
ANSWER: When you have
a two-suited hand, it is
best to start bidding your
suits. Overcall one spade,
intending to bid hearts.
This is a maximum hand
for an overcall, but if you
double, the opponents
might compete (the next
player might leap to four
diamonds!), and you
couldn’t show both suits
in comfort.

in any given moment.”

Over a hundred years ago numerous
theme tournaments were held where all
the games began from the same starting
position. The more romantic openings such
as the King’s Gambit were popular choices,
and one wealthy Austrian Baron sponsored
an event where all the games played
featured the moves 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 Ne4?!
–the Dory Defence.
Perhaps the most infamous example of
that era is the Rice Gambit, which has
been described as ‘a grotesque monument
to a rich man’s vanity’. Professor Isaac
Rice (1850-1915), a wealthy industrialist,
financed numerous tournaments where his
gambit was the only opening played.
In 1895 he discovered a sacrifice on the
eighth move in a sharp line of the Kings
Gambit-1 e4 e5 2 f4 exf4 3 Nf3 g5 4

8 0-0?! Today this line is discarded for
being unsound, yet in 1910 Rice found an
illustrious defender of his cause in Emanual
Lasker. The world champion edited and
published the fifth (!) edition of a book
devoted to this gambit. A no doubt
cash-strapped Lasker, claimed in his best
salesman’s pitch “ White is not lost if he
plays this gambit!”
In 1905 the Johannesburg Chess Club held
a Rice Gambit tournament in which the
professor donated 15 pounds (a handsome
sum for the time) towards the prizes. 1st

OTS has been written about
relationships. Marriage is a
unique one. You are bound
by law, culture, society and
sometimes another’s choice, to live
your life, or certainly a large chunk
of it, in close proximity to another
person. Recently the institution of
marriage has come under a great
deal of pressure – from same-
sex marriages to the growth of
narcissism to discussions around
polygamy and polyandry.
If one were to apply simple logic
to this institution of marriage
one could come to the conclusion
that its an entirely unnatural state
doomed to trouble and strife.
I mean how difficult it must be
to “belong” to one person and be
constrained within the bounds
of that very small world when
especially these days the world
has become so accessible? Surely
your growth is being stunted?
Surely one human cannot belong
to another? These are all the quasi
philosophical arguments I get in
practice when a patient is going
through a marital existential angst.
Unhappiness
More worryingly though, many,
many marriages exist today in a
state of perpetual unhappiness,
either surviving on a diet of
denialism or just plain fatigue to
fight anymore. Unspoken truces.
Incomplete lives. Doing what is
needed. How sad is that? Not being
able to grow and learn and become
a vital dynamic part of humanity.
So I took a conscious decision
a few years ago not to do marital
therapy/counselling simply
because it was way too draining
and depressing. I was happier
to see a raging psychotic patient
thrashing the ward and scaring the
c**p out of everybody than sit in
front of Mr and Mrs Miserable.
The main reason for this
decision was that all that happened
in these sessions was that they
moved the battleground to my
office. I was expected to be referee,
judge, adjudicator and at the end
they probably didn’t absorb a word
I said. The listening deaf. They
hear sounds but no words register.
So they end up reacting to tonal
cues rather than actual meaning
of words. So what was the point, I
thought?
More recently, however, I had
to have a rethink after a wise
person said to me that the age of
information has passed and we are
now in the age of wisdom. There
is a ton of data on brain function.
There is even more written about
human relationships. There are
studies which show how these
two are connected. The brain is an
organ, like the heart, lung, liver
and so on.
It follows a certain set of
rules that govern its function. It
needs blood, oxygen, nutrition to
function. It is affected by external
forces more than any other organ

TO BE A good guest, you need to
keep your room neat and not leave
anything behind when you leave.
Whether you have a private
bedroom and bath or you’re sharing
a mattress with a cat, being a
experience for all.
My feeling is: Good hosts make
good guests.
“To me, the perfect house guest is
someone that just starts to pitch in
and help without asking,” Voulgaris
says. “Because I feel most hosts
will decline the offer when asked if
anything can be done.”
Here are more ideas on the art of
being a good guest.

things to buy are food, entertaining
supplies, flowers or wine. We
suggest fresh baked goods or a
luxurious scented candle. I try to

Facebook targets family with advertisements
MANY Facebook users may already
find it unsettling when the website
all the time
shows them adverts for things
they’ve looked at elsewhere on the
internet.
But the social media giant is
about to get even more creepy – by
targeting whole households at a time.
Those who see an advert for a hotel
in France, for example, could find the
rest of their family have been shown
the same one.
Facebook hopes they will then
sit around the dinner table making
information, and apply a little bit
of wisdom, it follows that couples
in a state of marital strife are
trying to fix their relationship with
an organ that’s dysfunctional and
are progressively making their
despair deeper and aiding and
abetting a downward spiral in not
just each other but also probably
the kids and other close family
members.
What does this mean? The very
organ required to fix the problem
is being destroyed by the problem.
Of course, this does not apply to all
marriages – just the vast majority.
The problem begins with either
a catastrophic event (usually a
bout of infidelity or an incident
of abuse or substance-induced
behaviour) and then the process of
starting to fix the problem begins
with endless discussions,
emotional outbursts, no
speaks for days and
weeks, increased alcohol
intake (husbands’
self medication) or

their holiday plans and will all come
up with the same idea.Household
targeting could also be used to try
to persuade every member of a
family that they need a household
subscription to Netflix, or to improve
the quality of gift-giving – by
showing a husband the exact item
his wife desires.
But the scheme has sparked
concern among Facebook
users, who do not want to give the
rest of their household clues about
the things they have signed up
eventually before you know it, it’s
a cycle. The same words, the same
emotions, the same outcomes.

Counselling
Traditional marriage
counselling focuses on opening
up communication channels and
getting couples to start looking at
their roles in the problem.
There are a myriad techniques,
some quite commercialised, that
offer solutions and lifelines. I’m
sure most therapists will agree
the outcomes are quite dismal
and the process has just as
much a chance of ending in

divorce than before it began.
This is not because the process
is flawed or the theory behind it is
untrue, it’s quite simply that the
very organ the couple need to apply
these techniques is not working
properly.
Now, as with everything with
the brain, it does not apply to
everyone, but I would venture
to guess that it does apply to the
majority of warring couples,
especially those who have been
in an attrition-al relationship for
years. They are clinically depressed
or dysthymic (low-grade depressed
over a long period).
The symptoms of depression
are: low mood, anger and
irritability, loss of interest,
increased emotionalism, poor
concentration and generally
diminished ability to think clearly
and reason; sleep and appetite
changes; fatigue, various physical
complaints like headaches, back
pains etc and a general sense of
negativity and foreboding for the
future.
In the marital context I
think the anger, irritability and
aggression (especially in males)
is the main reason the attempts
at reconciliation fail. Add to this
mix alcohol, over-the-counter
painkillers with codeine, and
sleeping pills and the plot is ready
to blow.
Often I see couples in strife
and in the first consultation
focus on the clinical symptoms of
depression (which they almost all
fulfil criteria for) and suggest they
do a six-week trial of treatment
before embarking on the marital
therapy courses. Many times I have
seen the same couple six weeks
later, only to be told that they have
opted out of the counselling and are
actually able to work through their
issues better now.
It’s not a magic bullet that
solves the problem, it just allows an
inherent sense of reason to emerge
and it also allows other positive
emotions to express themselves.
The love that was always there,
the compassion, the empathy and
the caring.
The marriage may still end in
divorce but I bet that the process
will be a lot more humane with less
collateral damage (also the lawyers
don’t take over the process).
So in essence, what I’m saying
is that there is a high probability
that if you’re going through a
marital crisis, one or both of you
may be clinically depressed and
just seeking the right type of help
may make the healing process a lot
easier.
It’s scary to think how many
families have been broken up
over the years because this
was not addressed.

InBev to invest R2.8bn in SA
Expansion is
unlikely to
create jobs,
however
Sandile Mchunu
THE WORLD’S biggest brewer,
Anheuser-Busch (AB) InBev,
said yesterday that it planned
to invest R2.8 billion in ex-
tending its plants in South Af-
rica and in two new packaging
lines for returnable glass bot-
tles at its Alrode and Rosslyn
facilities in Gauteng.
The company said the invest-
ment was part of its expansion
strategy for new packaging
lines and returnable glass bot-
tles.
It said the investment would
add to R1bn the brewer agreed
to spend over five years as part
of the regulator’s condition for
AB InBev’s purchase of SAB-
Miller.
However, analysts warned
yesterday that the investment
would not result directly in the
creation of jobs, because the
company was implementing
cost-cutting measures.
BayHill Capital equities
trader Jordan Weir said the
planned expansion would be
more material to the company
itself.
“With InBev looking to offi-
cially introduce the Budweiser
brand, as well as other major
African brands owned by AB
InBev, such as Kilimanjaro
(Tanzania) and Hero (Nigeria),
Inbev would need the extra cap-
acity in order to meet the new
demand. South Africa is listed
within the top 20 countries in
the world for beer consumption
per capita, and it is growing.”
Weir said InBev had made it
clear that its investments would
be crucial to driving the com-
pany’s lesser-known products
into new market.

SUSPENDED Eskom executive
Matshela Koko’s fate could be
known today when the power
utility publishes its annual re-
port.
Eskom yesterday confirmed
that it had received a report
from its external auditors after
they raised concerns on alleged
irregularities with Koko and
former chief executive Brian
Molefe.
Koko was implicated in an
apparent conflict of interest
after Eskom awarded Impulse
International, a company in
which his stepdaughter Koketso
Choma was a director, contracts
worth R1 billion.
Eskom spokesperson Khulu
Phasiwe said irregularities
pertaining to the contract and
Molefe had been identified by
its own auditors and external
auditor SizweNtsalubaGobodo.
Phasiwe said Koko’s fate was
in the hands of Public Enter-
prises Minister Lynne Brown,
while Molefe’s would be decided
by the courts.
“Eskom has taken adequate
steps to the satisfaction of the
auditors that the irregularities
were no longer continuing,
except that in Molefe’s matter,”
Phasiwe said.
The utility said the irregu-
larities were reported to the
Independent Regulatory Board
of Auditors.

fe’s abrupt departure from
the utility in November after

“With new expansion plans
being rolled out, the likelihood
of a more automated produc-
tion line would mean that a
material impact on the weaker
job market environment in
South Africa wouldn’t neces-
sarily be on the cards in the
foreseeable future,” he said.
In 2016, AB InBev indicated
that it would invest in South
Africa’s agricultural sector, pro-
mote enterprise development
and boost local manufacturing
– areas that were crucial for job
creation.

Madonsela implicated him in
the State of Capture report last
year. Prior to that, Koko served
as Eskom head of technology
and commercial.
Molefe was controversially
reinstated as chief executive in
May, but removed three weeks
later after the cabinet put pres-
sure on Brown to fire him.
“Eskom’s board has taken
adequate steps to the satisfac-
tion of the auditors that the
irregularities were no longer
continuing,” the power utility
said. “In Molefe’s matter, it
was noted that the irregularity
could only be closed out when
the court proceeding had been
concluded.”
Koko has since been on leave
The brewer said it would
spend R1bn on investment
in agricultural development,
enterprise development, the
promotion of manufacturing,
exports and jobs, and on making
a contribution to the improve-
ment of society through sus-
tainability, alcohol harm reduc-
tion and educational initiatives

South Africa when the deal to

firm appointed to probe a pos-
sible conflict of interest asks
for more time to complete its
investigation.
Phasiwe said Molefe’s case
had been left to be decided by
courts as he had taken his dis-
missal to the Labour Court.
Phasiwe said the board had
launched an investigation on
the Impulse International mat-
ter, and that a probe had now
been completed.
“The Minister of Public
Enterprises (Brown) and the
board of Eskom will in due
course make public pronounce-
ments what the findings were
and what remedial action will
be taken, if necessary,” he said.

Kabelo Khumalo
SOUTH Africa has ranked poorly
in all three digital competitive-
ness indices recently published
by the International Institute
for Management Development
(IMD). The IMD World Digital
Competitiveness 2017 report
overall ranked South Africa a
lowly 47 out of the 63 countries
surveyed in the report.
This was a slight improve-
ment from last year’s ranking,
which saw the country come in
at number 53 on the list.
Pierre le Roux, the chief
executive at Moyo Business
Advisory, said the results of the
survey were a direct result of
an ineffective education sys-
tem that neglected maths and
science.
“The rankings clearly show
that we are falling further and
further behind in how competi-
tive we are in this most vital
field in which we absolutely
need to excel if we want to
build our economy and create
jobs for the millions of unem-
ployed South Africans,” Le Roux
said.
The IMD World Digital Com-
petitiveness ranking analysed
and ranked 63 countries’ ability
to adopt and explore digital
technologies leading to the
transformation of government
practices, business models and
society in general and defines
digital competitiveness into
three main factors: knowledge,
technology and future readi-
ness.
When it came to knowledge,
South Africa was ranked 49th
although AB InBev would spend
the appropriate amount of cap-
ital on plant and packaging, “we
would be surprised if InBev
increased their total number
of South African employees”.
AB InBev said the agricul-
tural development initiative
would help to establish thriv-
ing barley, hop, maize and malt
industries in South Africa.
The company also said
that it would strengthen rural
employment and job creation,
accelerate the development of
emerging farmers, and enable
this year, the same as in the
comparative period, while the
country came in at number 53
in technology infrastructure,
a drop from the number 51 it
occupied last year. However,
the country improved its future
readiness outlook, jumping to
number 42 on the list, from a
prior position of 47th.
At the top of the ranking was

Arturo Bris, a director of the

“Singapore and Sweden
have developed a regulation
that takes advantage of the
talent they have by adopting,
for instance, a regulation that
facilitates the inflow of over-
seas talent which complements
the locally available pool. This
shows that in digitally competi-
tive countries, the government
must facilitate the adoption of
new technologies.
“One thing about countries
that ranked lowly is that these
countries not only have low

2021.
The group said it would
invest R610 million of the R1bn
in developing the capacity of
800 new emerging farmers,
and develop the capacity of 20
new commercial farmers, to
add 475 000 tons of barley to
be malted (compared to 2015,
when South Africa was a net
importer of 75 000 tons of bar-
ley), with the aim of creating at
least 2 600 new farming jobs in
South Africa.
whatever talent they have,”
Bris said.
In a report launched earlier
this year by multinational tech-
nology giants, Siemens found
that potential $300 billion
(R4 trillion) could be added to
the African economy by 2026
through the adoption of digi-
talisation in industrial sectors
ranging from transport to
manufacturing.
In the firm’s 2017 African
Digitalisation Maturity Report –
which focused on South Africa,
Nigeria, Kenya and Ethiopia
– South Africa emerged as the
country with the highest poten-
tial to realise digital maturity
followed by Kenya, Nigeria and
Ethiopia.
South Africa was also first
with regards to information
and communication technology
infrastructure with 82 points,
followed by Nigeria with 49
points, Kenya at 44 points and
Ethiopia with 33 points. With
regards to skills and digital lit-
eracy, South Africa came in first
with 53 points, Kenya second
with 38 points and Nigeria had
a score of 35 points with Ethi-
opia at 20 points.
Le Roux said there also had
to be a rethink about higher
education. “We regularly hear
the complaint that graduates
with degrees or diplomas are
sitting at home twiddling their
thumbs. When you look closer
at these students almost with-
out exception we find that they
have degrees or diplomas in the
humanities rather than in the
hard sciences where there are
plenty of jobs,” he said.

struggles
to claw
back losses
Kabelo Khumalo
THE RAND struggled yester-
day to shrug off last week’s
losses in light of emerging mar-
ket currencies being kept on
the back foot after strong US
employment data released on
Friday raised a further expect-
ation of a possible interest rate
hike later this year by the US
Federal Reserve Bank.
At 5pm, the local unit had
weakened to R13.43 against the
greenback, while it was little
moved against the euro trading
at R15.30 and inching margin-
ally higher to trade at R17.25
against the pound.
Last week the rand hit a sev-
en-week low of R13.50 against
the dollar, shedding more than
2 percent, after the governing
ANC’s marathon policy confer-
ence, at which the party said it
was looking into nationalising
the South African Reserve Bank
(Sarb) and expropriating land.
The local unit has in recent
months gone from being one of
the best performing emerging
markets currencies to being one
of the worst. The weaker rand
boosted gold mining stocks,
which surged 2.4 percent on the
local bourse.
Tiffany Pollock, an analyst at
Merchant West, said the general
feeling in the market was that
there was an overreaction to the
Sarb nationalisation talk.
“The public protector’s order
on the Sarb’s powers, mean-
while, is facing increasingly
harsh opposition as even the
Speaker of Parliament, Baleka
Mbete, has decided to join the
court challenge.
“But none of this has filtered
down into local markets as the
rand, bonds and even credit
default swops continue to lan-
guish,” Pollock said.
Policy talk
“Globally, there is a lot of talk
regarding policy tightening
and this will surely attract
even more attention than usual
in US Federal Reserve chair-
person Janet Yellen’s semi-an-
nual address to the US Con-
gress tomorrow.
She is expected to guide the
market towards expecting the
Fed balance sheet unwind to
begin in September,” Pollock
added.
Yellen is expected to shed
more light on the bank’s plans
around interest rates and
trimming down its $4.5 trillion
(R60.17trln) in assets it had built
up after the 2008 financial crisis.
The hawkish tone from The
European Central Bank and the
US Fed in the last few weeks
has stymied emerging markets
rally, according to data from JP
Morgan.
In the week ending July 5,
emerging market bond funds
suffered net outflows for the
first time this year with foreign
investors withdrawing $70 mil-
lion compared with inflows of
$1.8 billion in the week ending
June 28. Emerging market
equity funds also tumbled with
inflows tanking to $438m, down
from $2.5bn the previous week.
The International Monetary
Fund has also warned that SA’s
vulnerabilities have become
more pronounced.

TATISTICS South Africa (Stats SA)
rightly so has to be considered
as one of the intellectual hubs of
South Africa, a treasured asset of
the nation that continues to shed
light on the health of the state.
Statistics is a crucial planning and risk
management tool, an essential life blood
for a democratic state, a citadel of fortitude
and a conduit of trust. In pursuit of this
burden I would be remiss if I do not narrate
the story of building intellectual capability
at Stats SA.
Building capacity and capability at Stats
SA did not come by a sudden flight, neither
was it ephemeral. It came by staying the
course. So from July 3 to 5 through the 3rd
ISIbalo Cruise, which is an outfit of Stats
SA at the University of Stellenbosch, we
witnessed this conference culminate into
the launch of the Africa Regional Science
Association at the Centre for Regional and
Urban Innovation and Statistical Explora-
tion (Cruise) at the University of Stellen-
bosch.
Beneficial investment
It is here that after 16 years of trying
hard to get the training off the ground,
Professor Geyer, the director of Cruise,
and I, as the Statistician-General of South
Africa, agreed that an outfit for training
Stats SA staff in regional science would
be the most beneficial investment for im-
plementing national planning. So in 2011
Cruise opened its doors exclusively to
Stats SA staff, but subsequently many are
now at Cruise and Stats SA Masters stu-
dents are in the minority.
Tomorrow at the home of Stats SA,
citadel of fortitude
and a conduit of trust.​
ISIbalo House in Pretoria, Stats SA will
host the 12th Conference of the Popula-
tion Association of South Africa, (Pasa).
This conference is different from previous
ones and it is indeed coming of age, both
intellectually and in terms of diversity of
subjects as well as in the backgrounds of
the participants.
The history of the discipline of popu-
lation studies and demography in South
Africa is terribly chequered and continues
to be challenged. This Pasa conference at-
tests to this positive development.
Established in 1987 by a group of dem-
ographers, among them Professors Sadie,
Mostert, Oosthuizen, Hofmeyer, Van
Tonder, Van Heerden et al, it was exclu-
sively white and male. Dr Preston-White
was the odd female in this “white boys
only club.”
Tuition had to be supported by an asso-
ciation and the Demographic Association
of South Africa (Demsa) was formed in in
the same year. It had its inclusive inaugural
conference in Stellenbosch and was hosted
by Stellenbosch Farmers Wineries.
I remember distinctly that Dr Wole
Adegboyega, Dr Chimere Dan, the two
Nigerians, Dr Marina Xaba-Mokuena
based in the Transkei Medical School and
I from Bophuthatswana were the only black
people in this almost all-white affair.
In the first 10 years of its being, Demsa
showed bad cracks which expressed them-
Professor van Heerden, the leader of
the Demography school at the University
of Pretoria, had cancer and met his early
death in 1987. He was replaced by Professor
Oosthuizen, who also met his untimely
death in what was considered a routine
operation. Professor Sadie had retired ear-
lier from Stellenbosch and had also passed
on. Professor Mostert had retired.
The project at Tukkies subsequently
collapsed. Those who were at Tukkies, like
Professor Van Aardt, moved on to Unisa
to start a new demography outfit, where
they were joined by Professor Udjo, a well
published professor, who served for quite a
while at Stats SA. Dr Phillips and Professor
Van Tonder left for Stats SA as well.
In the meantime other outposts such
as the University of the North West under
Professor Sabiti, Wits under Professor
Odimego, UKZN under Professor Julian
May, and UWC under Professor Robert
Shell tried with variable success in build-
ing capacity for tuition in demography
at this institutions. It was too thin and
dispersed to make an impact.
Ugly road
The road has therefore been ugly for dem-
ography in South Africa and this sad
chapter deserves a separate write-up some-
time. As a consequence of all this and the
racialised nature that stalked Demsa, it
finally folded as the parallel Pasa structure
was created.
Pasa was not dressed in glory either, as
it faltered for a long period of time with
a lot of substandard practices and poorly
structured intellectual work.
In 2005 I recall when our bench at the
DBSA consisted of all foreign-born dem-
Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe and Statistician-General Pali Lehohla at the official opening of the ISIbalo House (Stats SA) in
Salvokop, Pretoria in this file photo. Stats SA is an intellectual hub, says the writer.
ographers, including myself, and I argued
to my colleagues that it was not to be found
in any of our African countries that this
would be the case. I asked Udjo, Bah,
Odimego, Kekovole and I to set ourselves
a target for change.
I repeated this message at Pasa six years
later that as Africans we shall be successful
if only we immerse ourselves in shaping
our future and using the data we have. That
change has come.
At this Pasa conference held at ISIbalo
House, there are 157 papers to be presented.
Seventy nine of these are presented by
South Africa, with 39 presented by Stats
SA staff members.
There are three important pointers to
make in this crucial intellectual enterprise,
which also carries practical applications.
First almost all South African papers are
applying data from Stats SA, pointing to
the development and relevance of Stats SA
in the country.
Second and importantly, the Univer-
sity of Transkei where Dr Marina Xaba-
Mokuena was a dean 23 years ago, has
quite a number of papers that are focusing
not only on South Africa at the national
level but are addressing both provincial
and local municipality challenges in OR
Tambo.
Analysis
And third a good number of papers by
Stats SA apply spatial analysis. This puts
paid the benefits accrued from Cruise in
demographic analysis.
Another heart-warming development
is that the 12th Pasa Conference has man-
aged to be attended by 13 other countries,
with staff from universities and statistics
offices. These include Nigeria, Ghana,
Malawi, Botswana, Lesotho, Cameroon,
Ethiopia, Swaziland, Uganda, Zimbabwe,
Burkina Faso and India.
The quality of papers if this is anything
to go by is a serious precursor to Stats SA’s

hosting of the 28th International Union for
the Scientific Study of Population later in
Cape Town from October 29 toNovember
4 this year.
The journey of building intellectual
assets of population data and statistics,
building the demography and population
studies as a discipline and creating sup-
porting mechanisms for it to thrive in
South Africa, was as much littered by the
turbulence of struggle and fought through
single mindedness of building Statistics
South Africa as it is a tale of the transform-
ation challenges of South Africa.
This story of overcoming the failing
and fragile demography and population
studies as a discipline is therefore not far
removed from the question of addressing
our currently challenged social, economic,
physical and political order of our national
democratic revolution.

F I HAD to put my money on a company
that will one day be number one on the
JSE it will definitely be KAP Industrial
Holdings. This is a share that might
create loads of wealth for long-term
shareholders. But you have to be patient.
You can tick all the important boxes:
great and dynamic management, econ-
omies of scale, market leaders, sustainable
diversified earnings, strong cash gener-
ation, measured and conservative, high
barrier to entry industries, etc.
Since KAP acquired the industrial
assets of Steinhoff in 2012, it has estab-
lished a remarkable track record. After
five years of strategic restructuring they
now have set a base for continued growth,
a mature business with mature manage-
ment. The group’s market cap grew from
R7 billion to more than R20bn in just five
years, and they have a personnel force of
around 20 000.
KAP is a diversified industrial group of
which 48 percent of revenue is derived from
logistics and 52 percent from industrial
operations. Of the 48 percent, 36 percent
is contractual and 12 percent passenger
transport. The beauty of the contractual
logistics is that they are linked to the fuel
price and therefore margins cannot be
compromised.
They transport anything from food,
include names like Greyhound, Citiliner,
Mega Coach and Magic Transfers. They
transport 10 million passengers in 1 350
vehicles annually. The immigrants in South
Africa visiting their families in Africa are
transported, and they have contracts to
service mining operations.
The Gautrain bus service is another con-
tract, and a personnel transport contract in
Mozambique continues to perform ahead
of expectation with contract expansion.
The fleet size increased from 45 vehicles
at the start of contract in Mozambique, to
60 vehicles.
Industrial
The industrial side of the business is
divided into four segments: integrated tim-
ber (forestry and timber manufacturing);
chemical (manufacture of polyethylene
terephthalate (PET), urea formaldehyde
(UF) resin and impregnated paper); auto-
motive components (components used in
new vehicle assembly and aftermarket
vehicle accessories); and integrated bed-
ding (manufacture all the different com-
ponents of a mattress).
Of the 52 percent industrial revenue
contribution, the biggest part is chemical at
17 percent, followed by integrated timber at
16 percent, automotive components 11 per-
cent and integrated bedding 8 percent.

ger transport service, together with Greyhound, Citiliner, Mega Coach and Magic Transfers.
The operating margin for the diversi-
fied industrials increased from 11 percent
in 2016 to 12.3 percent in 2017, thanks to
investment in technology. All these div-
isions increased their profitability, but the
star division was automotive components
with a 100 percent increase, on a 48 percent
increase in revenue.
South Africa has great tax incentives for
car manufacturers, therefore international
manufacturers flocked to SA in recent
years. Though not a great job creator, it
has been a boon to the secondary car manu-
facturing market.
Export volumes are growing, thanks
to new model introduction and a grow-
ing world economy, therefore they are not
exposed to the subdued local car market.
KAP manufacture things like the resin
inside a dashboard and leather for seats.

which is used in the beverage industry.
Formaldehyde, a raw material, is sold to
more than 30 different industries in South
Africa. With the erection of an additional
formaldehyde plant in 2007, the capacity for
the production of 37 percent formaldehyde
was increased to 90 000 tons per annum,
making Woodchem the largest producer
of wood panel resins in Africa.
Prospects
The logistics operating environment re-
mains challenging amid the current eco-
nomic recessionary situation. Manage-
ment is focusing on increasing the
long-term contractual revenue base, which
should result in more resilient revenues
through the cycle. Mergers and acquisi-
tions are likely to continue.
This is a solid healthy company, con-
tinuously investing in technology and
new plant and equipment. The business is
well-structured to weather current market
conditions and my best guess is that the
bad economic conditions in SA will have a
dismal effect on KAP in general.

AS AFRICA’S population is
set to double to about 1 billion
people by 2040 African cities
need to be more affordable,
connected and liveable in order
to be “smart cities”.
Leading experts have shared
insights on what it would take
to design and build smart and
sustainable cities fit for Africa’s
future.
According to a World Bank
report released earlier this year,
Africa’s cities were growing in
population, and have a critical
role to play in economic growth.
The report said that Afri-
ca’s urban population stood
at 472 million currently, with
187 million people expected to
be added to urban areas by 2025.
priorities are to aggressively
drive cost-efficiencies; recruit,
develop and retain top talent;
build a trusted ICT brand; and
accelerate growth. The new
structure reflects these pri-
orities, while setting the tone
across the group on cost focus.”
The group made a number
of positions redundant in the
restructuring process, includ-
for accreditation through CIPC,
setting out that they complied
with professional rules and
disciplines in order to be able to
accredit their own members.
Practitioners as well as aspir-
ing practitioners were advised
to belong to a legal, accounting
or business management pro-
fession recognised by Saqa and
professional bodies had until
October 1 to comply, after which
no person would be licensed as
a business rescue practitioner
unless he or she belonged to
the registered and accredited
profession.

utive of Gillan and Veldhuizen,

years.
William Johnston, regional
director for structures at WSP
Africa, a professional services
firm, said although improving
conditions would deal with
rapid populous migration to
city centres, governments and
city planners had to be on the
alert.
“To succeed in their plan-
ning and development efforts,
there needs to be a split strat-
egy and focus,” Johnston said.
“The first focus will naturally
be on securing much needed
infrastructure and services.
“Concurrent to this, how-

restructure and regulation of
business rescue in South Africa.
Veldhuizen said in order to
mitigate arbitrage or appli-
cants opting for a less stringent
accreditation process, standar-
disation of compliance was
paramount.
He said that the CIPC board
was finalising a continued
professional development pro-
gramme that would require
practitioners to complete a
prescribed number of verifiable
hours training by accredited
trainers annually.
“The responsibility of a
business rescue practitioner is
onerous. When appointed, they
effectively take over the run-
builds that will be smart, sus-
tainable and thereby future
proof in the long-term.”
Riaan Graham, sales dir-

in increased awareness of bene-

Veldhuizen said the require-

World’s major mobile
operators reassess
African investments​
Loni Prinsloo and Janice Kew
BACK when African countries
were auctioning off mobile li-
cences by the boatload to serve
the region’s young, tech-savvy
population, investing in the
continent’s fast-growing econ-
omies seemed like a no-brainer.
Some of the world’s biggest
wireless carriers rushed in.
Now they are wondering if
they made a mistake. Increas-
ing government and regulatory
scrutiny, as well as a lack of
expansion opportunities in
sub-Saharan Africa, are mak-
ing it harder for operators such
as Vodafone, Orange and Bharti
Airtel to grow. Their choice:
Pull back or double down.
Two companies beating at
least a partial retreat are Mil-
licom International Cellular,
which disposed of its Senegal
and Democratic Republic of
Congo units, and India’s Air-
tel, which sold businesses in
Burkina Faso and Sierra Leone
to Orange earlier this year.
Reducing its exposure
to Kenya, Vodafone trans-
ferred most of its $3.6 billion
(R48.14bn) stake in Nairo-
bi-based Safaricom to major-
ity-owned South African unit
Vodacom in May, and may pare
further. That leaves Vodafone
Ghana as the UK company’s
sole own-branded African oper-
ation.
“At this point it is becom-
ing clear who has a chance of
making it in Africa and who
does not, and it essentially
boils down to scale, as well
as government sway,” said
Baha Makarem, an analyst at
Arqaam Capital.
Sentiment
“It’s just a question of who is
ready to weather the storm.”
The shift in sentiment comes
as governments across sub-Sa-
haran Africa are losing favour
with investors.
The fall in commodity prices
has reduced tax revenue in
many countries, and average
economic growth slumped
to 1.4 percent last year from
3.4 percent in 2015, according
to the International Monetary
Fund.
That has encouraged law-
makers in countries including
Tanzania and Ghana to look
to international companies for
revenue opportunities – both
have ordered foreign wireless
carriers to cede shares to local
investors.
“The regulatory challen-
ges are top of our mind at
all times,” MTN chairperson
Phuthuma Nhleko said at the
annual meeting of Africa’s big-
gest wireless carrier in May.
“It’s just part of the environ-
ment in which we operate.”
Nhleko has first-hand ex-
perience with that. A Niger-
ian watchdog fined the carrier
$5.2bn in 2015 for missing a
deadline to disconnect unregis-
tered subscribers, leading to a
slump in the share price that is
yet to turn around.
The penalty was reduced to
$1bn after months of negoti-
ations and Nhleko has since
overhauled management and
corporate governance.
Even so, MTN was fined
$8.5 million in Rwanda in May
for non-compliance with its
licence obligations. The com-
pany has not yet delivered on
a promise to list its Nigerian
unit in Lagos.
Vodacom, 70 percent owned
by Vodafone, has complied
with Tanzania’s demand to sell
shares on the Dar es Salaam
stock exchange.
It had to delay the listing
MTN chief executive Phuthuma Nhleko presenting their interim
results in May at Fairlands, Roodepoort. 
when a surge in demand from
retail investors slowed the pro-
cessing of applications from
outside the country.
IPOs are the only way to
force the wireless carriers to
share their profits with local
investors in the East African
country, Tanzanian President
John Magufuli said last month,
adding that licences could be
withdrawn if they refuse the
order.
Revenue
Not everyone is down on Af-
rica, where GSMA Intelligence
expects mobile revenue will
reach $43bn in 2020. Orange,
France’s market leader, in Feb-
ruary called Africa a priority
region and has focused most of
its investment in French-speak-
ing markets such as Cameroon
and Ivory Coast.
That is partly to offset stag-
nating growth in Europe and
to take advantage of a younger
population demanding faster
and cheaper data, according
to Bruno Mettling, the Paris-
based company’s head of oper-
ations on the continent.
A lack of obsolete infra-
structure that would need to
be removed or upgraded is also
underlying the business case,
he said.
Some operators “are with-
drawing from Africa in the face
of the enormous investments to
be made – 3G, 4G, but also in the
fibre to connect the antennas to
each other,” Mettling said. “At
Orange, we invest an average
of €1bn (R15.24bn) in Africa
each year.”
Areas of expansion for
Orange include mobile bank-
ing, where Nairobi-based
Safaricom blazed a trail with
its M-Pesa product in Kenya.
Orange Money reported a
74 percent increase in custom-
ers, to more than 30 million, in
the first quarter, and plans to
extend the service into its home
market this year.
Orange’s francophone mar-
kets have so far stopped short
of ordering share sales to local
investors. Vodacom is another
considering further expansion
following the Safaricom deal.
Lower prices
The tougher market and in-
creasing willingness of some
rivals to sell may have brought
down prices, chief executive
Shameel Joosub said at the
company’s results presentation
in May.
“The days of you going in
with a new greenfield licence
are gone,” Joosub said. The
price of potential acquisition
targets is, however, “becoming
more reasonable,” and there
“are not that many buyers.”
The first wave of second-gen-
eration digital mobile licences
in Africa started in the late
1990s, with Nigeria being one
of the last countries to issue
its first permit in 2001.
While those markets have
since been growing – more
than half the continent’s
population is seen owning a
smartphone by 2020 – the only
country yet to auction licences
is Ethiopia.
“Africa is a market of
growth, but also a very diffi-
cult environment to operate,”
said Dobek Pater, managing
director of Pretoria-based
Africa Analysis. “Costs of
operation are often high, dis-
posable income levels of large
segments of the society low,
and the regulatory environ-
ment not always predictable.
Only companies with “increas-
ing economies of scale will

Libya, Nigeria may have to cut oil output​ zz IN BRIEF

Wael Mahdi and
Rakteem Katakey
Istanbul
LIBYA and Nigeria, which had
both boosted oil production
since they were exempt from
global cuts this year, might be
asked to cap their crude out-
put soon in an effort to help
re-balance the market, Kuwait
Oil Minister Issam Almarzooq
said.
Members and non-members
of Opec had invited the two
nations to their committee
meeting in St Petersburg, Rus-
sia, this month to discuss the
stability of their production,
Almarzooq said on the side-
lines of an energy conference
in Istanbul, Turkey.
Almarzooq is the chair-
Exemption from global cap may be revoked after their production climbs​
person of the committee mon-
itoring the compliance of Opec
and non-Opec suppliers with
output cuts that started in Janu-
ary and have been extended to
March.
Production
“We invited them to discuss the
situation of their production,”
Almarzooq said. “If they are
able to stabilise their produc-
tion at current levels, we will
ask them to cap as soon as
possible.
“We don’t need to wait until
the November meeting to do
that,” he said, referring to the
upcoming Opec meeting sched-
uled for November.
Crude sank into bear terri-
tory last month amid concerns
the cutbacks by Opec produ-
cers, Russia and other allies
are being partially offset by a
rebound in supply by Libya,
Nigeria and US shale output.
Libya and Nigeria were both
exempt from the cuts because
of their internal strife.
The two countries came
into focus after they seemed
to resolve some of the political
challenges that had slashed
their production.
Libya’s oil output has
climbed to more than 1 mil-
lion barrels a day for the first
time in four years. Nigeria’s
Libya’s oil output
has climbed to
more than 1 million
barrels a day for
the first time in
four years.​
production rose 50 000 barrels
a day last month, according to
a survey.
“Capping Libya and Nigeria
might help, but won’t cut the
supply by much,” Abdulsamad
Al-Awadhi, a London-based
analyst and Kuwait’s former
representative to Opec, said
yesterday.
“Opec needs to have better
compliance, and it must respect
the right of Libya and Nigeria
to go back to the market. Other
countries that raised output
while Libya and Nigeria are
out should do more and give
space to these two countries to
go back to the market.”
Almarzooq said he saw the
oil market moving in the right
direction. Growth in the num-
ber of operational oil rigs had
started to slow, and crude inven-
tories were declining.
Benchmark Brent crude,
which has fallen 17 percent this
year, gained as much as 47 cents
yesterday in London and was
trading at $46.94 (R627.68) a bar-
rel at 7.24am local time.
Output at older oil fields
from China to North Amer-
ica – comprising a third of
world supply – fell 5.7 percent
last year, the most since 1992,
according to Rystad Energy.
It would drop about 6 percent
this year if oil stays at current
prices, the consultant said. US
crude drillers increased the rig
count last week by seven to 763,
Baker Hughes said on Friday.
Joint decision
Giving Libya and Nigeria
exemptions to production cuts
was a collective decision, and
any proposal to include them in
Opec’s plans would also require
a joint decision, secretary-gen-
eral Mohammed Barkindo said
at the event in Istanbul.
He said it was still too early
to discuss steeper cuts by the
group and its allies.
The Opec/non-Opec minis-
terial monitoring committee
would discuss the impact of the
output curbs on the market at
the July 24 meeting, Almarzooq
said. Deepening the reductions
under the current agreement is
not on the agenda, he said.
“It is too early to discuss
deeper output cuts by Opec/
non-Opec producers participat-
ing in the agreement to curb
production,” Almarzooq said.
“We just finished the meeting
in May, and we need to give it
more time.” – Bloomberg

Optimism on
Brexit law
THE BRITISH government
was confident it can get
legislation to begin the process
of transferring European
Union law into British law
through parliament, Prime
Minister Theresa May’s deputy
said yesterday. The Repeal Bill,
which the government says
will help to achieve a smooth
transition as Britain leaves
the EU, will transpose EU
law and also repeal the 1972
European Communities Act,
which formalises Britain’s EU
membership. “I’m confident
that we can get this legislation
through parliament,” First
Secretary of State Damian
Green, who is effectively May’s
deputy, told Sky News, adding

A SIGNIFICANT pick up in
inflation still remains tantal-
isingly out of reach in most
developed economies – aside
from asset prices – yet several
central banks are leaning to-
ward launching or stepping up
efforts that could slow it down.
What has shifted in recent
months is an acceptance that
fiscal policy, touted around the
turn of the year as the essential
comeback kid after the shock
election of Donald Trump as
US president, has not yet come
back.
Much of this is because of
a lack of progress on Trump’s
tax cut agenda, dimming down
what was called the “Trumpfla-
tion” trade in financial markets
and now even calling into ques-
tion a multi-year rally in the
US dollar.
But what this does is thrust
central bankers – who only
six months ago were said to
be waning in influence – back
into the spotlight.
Many seasoned central bank
watchers are saying that past
experience shows that until
inflation really accelerates con-
vincingly, and for a sustained
period for reasons other than a
rise in the price of oil, the best
monetary policy is to be doing
nothing.
Split
The latest minutes from the
Federal Open Market Commit-
tee’s policy discussions show
a split over inflation, which is
sure to cast unusually sharp
focus on Fed chairperson
Janet Yellen’s testimony to
both houses of Congress in the
coming week.
Indeed, with the exception
of persistent four-decade-low
first-time claims for jobless
benefits, US economic data has
been undercutting relatively
modest expectations for the
past several months, particu-
larly on measures of inflation.
Wage inflation across most
Federal Reserve chairperson Janet Yellen’s testimony to both houses of Congress this week will put her under sharp focus. 
of the developed world, widely
viewed by economists as the
most compelling and potent
driver of sustained overall
price inflation, has not picked
up the way central bankers
have predicted it would either.
The Fed, however, remains
set on further interest rate
rises, and is now contemplating
how and when to start reducing
its $4.5 trillion (R60.17trln) bal-
ance sheet, bloated by years of
mass asset purchases as stimu-
lus once it had no interest rate
left to cut.
“Of course the evolution of
the economic data over the next
few months remains of critical
importance,” notes Investec’s
chief economist Philip Shaw.
“In particular, will the
momentum of the economy be
maintained and is the recent
run of soft inflation idiosyn-
cratic, as most senior Fed offi-
cials seem to believe?”
It’s not only Yellen who
might set the mood in the com-
ing week. The Bank of Canada
meets to set policy on July 12
following a run-up in the Can-
adian dollar, with markets lean-
ing toward expecting the first
rate rise in nearly seven years.
The domestic debate is
partly over whether a rate
rise is now warranted in part
to tamp down rampant urban
housing markets – particularly
in Vancouver and Toronto – as
US economic
data has been
undercutting
relatively modest
expectations.​
soaring real estate prices have
pushed Canada’s household
debt to income ratio to near
the highest in the world.
Like in other similar econ-
omies, Canada’s consumer
price inflation on its own does
not point convincingly to a
need for the Bank of Canada
to deliver higher interest rates.
“Its decision one way or the
other could have an effect on
markets beyond its shores as
it will be seen as a proxy for
policy normalisation over a
wider jurisdiction,” notes Shaw.
For some, discussion of
“normalisation” appears eerily
similar to 2011, when the Euro-
pean Central Bank (ECB), faced
with a similarly shaky-look-
ing inflation outlook, raised
interest rates in what is now
regarded as a mistake, arguing
higher rates would be support-
ive of business confidence.
A punishing sovereign debt
crisis followed and a period of
eye-wateringly high unemploy-
ment, ushering in an expansion
of the central bank’s balance
sheet by well over a trillion
euros and counting, along with
negative interest rate policy.
For now, the ECB appears
to be moving very gingerly
toward unveiling how and
when it will trim back its tens
of billions worth of monthly
bond purchases, but that date

is approaching.
Some of the Bank of Eng-
land’s Monetary Policy Com-
mittee also think that now is
the time to raise rates – despite
the uncertainty of Britain
starting to negotiate its way out
of the EU. They are prompted
by a surge in inflation caused
in large part from a plunge in
sterling after the Brexit vote.
Minority
For now, they remain in a min-
ority, but the possibility has
supported the pound and mar-
kets have been put on notice.
But a change of mood
appears to have taken place at
the Bank of Japan, however,
which is backing off initial
attempts to signal an imminent
shift away from its ultra-easy
monetary policy.
On Friday it launched a
bond-buying bonanza, offering
to snap up unlimited quanti-
ties in order to calm markets.

CHINA’S producer price infla-
tion (PPI) was unchanged in
June and remained well off
highs seen earlier this year,
amid lingering oversupply
issues in the steel sector and
as signs of economic weak-
ness weighed on the outlook
for prices.
The PPI rose 5.5 percent in
June from a year earlier, the
National Bureau of Statistics
said yesterday. This was in
line with analyst forecasts and
unchanged from the previous
month.
Prices of raw materials are
making a modest recovery,
helped by stronger futures
prices in China over the past
few weeks, after an earlier hit
taken from a broader cooling in
economic activity since March.
China’s June consumer
prices rose 1.5 percent from a
year earlier, in line with market
expectations and May’s read-
ing, the NBS said, with food
prices continuing their declines
albeit at a slower pace.
There are some concerns
among analysts that price pres-
sures could weaken throughout
the rest of the year as economic
fundamentals soften.
“The upshot is that, hav-
ing eased in previous months,
price pressures appear to have
stabilised in June,” Julian
Evans-Pritchard from Capital
Economics in Singapore wrote.
“Nonetheless, with slowing
credit growth likely to weigh
on economic activity in com-
ing quarters we think that,
volatility in food prices aside,
inflation still has further to
fall. This will disappoint those
hoping for a sustained period
of reflation that could help to
erode corporate debt burdens.”
Food prices, the biggest
component of the consumer
price index, fell at a slower
1.2 percent from the previous
year, after sliding 1.6 percent
in May and 3.5 percent in April.
“Falling food prices can be
attributed to a high build-up
of food reserves and seasonal
factors,” Zhu Baoliang, chief
economist at the State Informa-
tion Center, said.
Tepid inflation comes
despite signs of a pick-up in fac-
tory activity. China’s manufac-
turing sector expanded at the
quickest pace in three months
in June, buoyed by strong
production and new orders.
Meanwhile, spot iron ore and
construction steel prices have
risen as investors continued to
focus on China’s capacity cut-
backs and industrial upgrade
in the steel sector.
“High margins after the gov-
ernment’s effort to eliminate
low-grade steel are enticing
mills to produce more steel,
which increases the need for
iron ore,” said Zou Mingdong,
Shanghai-based steel manager
China is capable
of achieving its full-
year growth target
and controlling
systemic risks.​
at Zhongcai Merchants Invest-
ment Group.
China’s biggest steel maker,
Baoshan Iron & Steel, cut its
main steel products prices for
May and June after a long ser-
ies of increases.
On a month-on-month basis,
the PPI fell 0.2 percent in June.
China is targeting economic
growth of around 6.5 percent
this year and inflation of
3 percent. Chinese Premier Li
Keqiang said in a speech at the
World Economic Forum that
China is capable of achieving
its full-year growth target and
controlling systemic risks
despite challenges.
Meanwhile, China’s main
stock indexes were little
changed yesterday, as investors
awaited fresh catalysts ahead
of a burst of data due over
the next week. The blue-chip
CSI300 index fell 0.1 percent, to
3 653.69 points, while the Shang-
hai Composite Index slipped
0.2 percent to 3 212.63 points.
Small-caps far underper-
formed, with the start-up board

offerings over the weekend.

considering charging an
Amsterdam Airbnb property
owner with attempted murder
after he allegedly pushed a
guest down a flight of stairs
in a row about the check-out
time. Police said the alleged
victim, South African woman
Siba Nkumbi, had been treated
for her injuries in hospital and
would press charges. A video
purporting to show Nkumbi
falling head first down a steep
flight of stairs has appeared
on social media. Airbnb chief
executive Brian Chesky would
contact the guests involved, the
company said. “Appalling and
unconscionable behaviour runs
counter to everything Airbnb
stands for,” said David King, an
Airbnb official. “We will take
the strongest action, including
banning people for life from our
platform.” – Reuters

Mark Karpeles, Mt Gox head.
Mt Gox bitcoin head Karpeles faces embezzlement charges
Elaine Kurtenbach
THE HEAD of the failed Japan-
based bitcoin exchange Mt Gox
is due to appear in Tokyo District
Court today to face embezzlement
charges.
Authorities suspect French-
born Mark Karpeles of accessing
the exchange’s computer system
in February 2013 and inflating
his cash account by $1 million
(R13.37m).
He was arrested in August 2015
and released on bail months later.
In October last year he resumed
postings on his Tumblr account,
and has occasionally answered
questions online about the hand-
ling of the Mt Gox bankruptcy.
Karpeles has denied wrong-
doing. If found guilty, he could
face up to five years in prison, or
a fine of up to ¥500 000 (R58 670).
When Mt Gox went offline in 2014,
Karpeles said tens of thousands
of bitcoins worth several hundred
million dollars were unaccounted
for.
People affected by Mt Gox’s
failure are still trying to obtain
funds they lost. Based on social
media discussions, many are still
hoping to find out details of why it
collapsed during the trial.
Mt Gox’s failure stunned the
world bitcoin community. Crit-
ics said the debacle highlighted
the risks of bitcoin transactions,
while bitcoin proponents contend
People affected
by Mt Gox’s failure
are still trying
to obtain funds
they lost.​
Mt Gox is just an exception.
At the time of Karpeles’ arrest
Japanese authorities said they
were baffled by the Mt Gox case,
because they had never dealt
with possible crimes involving
bitcoins, which are not issued by
central banks.
Even though Mt Gox was one
of the biggest digital currency
exchanges, experts also said it
might be difficult to take action
because of the absence of laws
over virtual currencies.
New laws
In the nearly two years since
then, Japan has enacted new laws
to regulate bitcoins and other
cryptocurrencies, whose use has
been rapidly expanding. One of
the country’s biggest electronics
Breaking news on...
retailers, Bic Camera, has begun www.busrep.co.za
allowing bitcoin payments at
three of its outlets in Tokyo.
The government also has
spelled out regulations to help
prevent misuse of bitcoins and
other virtual currencies for ter-
rorism or other illegal activities,
including requiring banks and
other businesses to verify iden-
tities, keep records and report
suspicious transactions.
The regulations implemented
in April require virtual currency
traders to keep customers’ assets
separate from their own, partly
because of the losses suffered in
the Mt Gox bankruptcy. – AP

The reality of the Kings and Cheetahs no
longer being a part of Super Rugby is a painful
one, because so many fans around the country
have emotional and sentimental attachments to
both these franchises.
Mine is an emotional one, as a person who

it still hurts.

the Super Rugby quarter-finals
will only be decided after
the very last match of this
weekend’s final round of the
competition, when the Sharks
host the Lions, and one of the
fascinating permutations is
that it could be in the Sharks’
interests to lose the match.
And with the Durban
encounter being the last
fixture, both teams will know
exactly what is at stake.
According to backs coach
Sean Everett, the Sharks’
approach to the game is to
ignore permutations and to
give it the horns against the
Lions in a bid to establish some
form and momentum ahead
of the quarters. The last time
the Sharks played, they lost
to the Bulls in Durban in a
disappointing performance.
“It was not ideal for us to
have a bye after one match
(the Bulls) having just had
a month off (for the June
internationals), so our focus
in this match is very much
on performance so that we
have some form going into the
quarters,” Everett said. “We
want to play well and get back
to winning ways. That is what
this game is about, regardless
of results earlier in the day.”
Coach Robert du Preez will
have added options when he
selects his team because of
the return to fitness of wings
Lwazi Mvovo and Kobus van
Wyk. The Sharks are just about
at full strength, the absentees
being Tendai Mtawarira (neck)
and Ruan Botha (suspended).
Everett said the Sharks
players are eager for battle this
week against the form South
African team.
“The Lions are coming
to Durban with a must-win
attitude, so we know what to
expect from them and we will
be up for it,” Everett said.
“They are certainly setting
the benchmark ... We want to
measure ourselves against
the best, and the players got
stuck in at training last week.
There is no need to talk about
motivation! We had some really
good sessions in trying to
rectify where we went wrong
against the Bulls,” he said.
After that shock loss, a
miffed Du Preez said there had
been a lack of urgency in his
team’s performance.
“The players have certainly
been reminded that there is
consequence for lack of effort.
Our problem this whole year
has been consistency. We play
against weaker opposition and
struggle, then play top teams
and win. The youngsters have
to understand that there truly
is no easy game and we can’t
come out of the blocks slowly,
no matter who we are playing,”
Everett said.
Ugly duckling Duminy gets stumped
MELBOURNE in 2008 seems so far away
from JP Duminy right now, it may just as
well have been someone else’s life.
Eight and a half years since that
epic innings of 166, which helped turn
around a Test and set up an historic
series win, Duminy’s Test career
appears to be over. It has been a wholly
unfulfilled one. He’s not matched
his prodigious talent with consistent
productivity. At Lord’s in the first Test
against England he looked lost.
He scratched his way through a
14-minute stay at the crease in the
second innings that brought him two
runs and then slapped a ‘buffet ball’

STORMERS forwards coach
Russell Winter says the Bulls
will pose the perfect challenge
for a Stormers side eager
to get their quarter-final
preparations right.
The Stormers will travel to
Loftus for the last group-stage
game on Saturday before they
host either the Hurricanes or
the Chiefs at Newlands the
following week. And although
it has been a rough season for
Nollis Marais and his team,
Winter said that they were still

ASA’s preliminary squad fields some discrepancies
OCKERT DE VILLIERS
ATHLETICS South Africa
(ASA) seems to be applying
double standards in their
selection for the IAAF World
Championships after it
released a preliminary team
for the London showpiece next
month.
While the track and field
athletes have to reach the
A-qualifying standards to
earn selection, the female
marathoners’ were pencilled in
based on B-standards.
ASA announced a
preliminary squad of 21
athletes, consisting of 15 men
and only six women.
Close to 20 track and field
athletes who have posted
B-qualifying standards, which
is the official IAAF criteria,
including four athletes who
have earned wildcard spots for
winning continental titles in
Durban last year, did not make
the squad.
Women’s marathoners
Mapaseka Makhanya and
Jenna Challenor have both
been included based on their
times that did not meet the
A-qualifying time.
ASA president Aleck
Skhosana stressed it was only
a preliminary squad. “That
is still a provisional team and
it comes to me when it has
gone through all the appeals
and this team is for people to
comment and ask the relevant
questions,” Skhosana said.
Defending 400m world
champion Wayde van Niekerk
and Olympic 800m champion
Caster Semenya will be
spearheading the team.
The final team selected will
be announced by July 23.
“Before the final entry
date, ASA will have to decide
which of the four long jumpers,
whom qualified in the men’s
category, on the A-Standard of
the ASA qualifying standards,
will be entered to represent
(the country),” ASA said in
a circular. “According to the
IAAF rules, only three athletes
can be entered per country in
each event.”
The team also includes four
200m athletes.
Six men have posted
qualifying times in the half-
lap event, including Lebakeng
Sesele and Gift Leotlela.
In the circular, ASA said
it was waiting on the IAAF to
see whether a South African
4x100m relay team, which they
claim to be ranked seventh in
the world, would be invited to
participate in London.
According to the IAAF’s
qualifying criteria teams
automatically qualify “as being
one of the first eight placed
teams at the 2017 IAAF World
Relays in The Bahamas.”
Three of the teams –
Canada, Great Britain and the
Netherlands – did not finish the
race, and technically did not.
South Africa is currently
ranked ninth.

Men: Akani Simbine (100, 200m);

A season of change in the Cape as new faces sign up

RODNEY REINERS
Cape Town
THE MOTHER CITY’S two
PSL clubs are already hard at
work in preparation for the
new season. And the important
thing about sport is that
whatever happened before,
counts for nothing.
Cape Town City captured
the imagination of the public
in their debut campaign last
season, but how will they go
this time around?
Ajax Cape Town continued
their erratic form last season
and only managed to move
away from the danger of
relegation towards the end
of the campaign. Will they
improve this season?
Here’s a brief update on
what’s been happening at the
two Cape clubs.
AJAX CAPE TOWN
The big news at Ajax is, of course,
the shake-up in the technical
department, with prominent roles
for two of the Mother City’s most
famous football sons: Boebie Solo-
mons and Duncan Crowie.
Undoubted stars of the sport dur-
ing the era of segregated football,
both Solomons and Crowie have
transferred their playing success to
the craft of coaching.
Former Santos stalwart Crowie,
has focused primarily on youth
football and this season he takes
up the position of head coach of
Young Ajax and the club’s second
division outfit.
Former Cape Town Spurs mid-
fielder Solomons, now 62-years-old,
who has worked at Santos, Wits,
Maritzburg United, Black Leopards,
Winners Park, Polokwane City,
Cape Town All Stars, Milano United
and FC Cape Town, takes up a new
role as an assistant coach to Stanley
Menzo.
Former Ajax Amsterdam goal-
keeper Menzo continues to serve as
the head coach, while last season’s
assistant, Mich d’Avray, is now the
club’s head of football.
Former Bafana Bafana goal-
keeper Hans Vonk is the head of
youth and he will be assisted and
advised by respected Dutch mentor
Foppe de Haan.
On paper, it’s a real dream team.
Considering how poorly Ajax
have performed over the last two
seasons, the one thing they are
going to need is a quality, settled
squad, determined to give their all
for the club.
Already, a month before
the start of the new season, the
situation around Rivaldo Coetzee
is threatening to derail their prep-
aration.
The 20-year-old Bafana central
defender, who still has two years
left on his contract, is currently
absent without leave. He has not
returned to pre-season training,
and the word is that he is not a
happy chappy.
Coetzee believes his high-pro-
file role at the club deserves a
better salary – and, if Ajax are not
prepared to meet his financial de-
mands, then he wants to leave.
In addition to Coetzee, another
player far from happy with the
manner in which he has been
treated is veteran Nathan Paulse.
The 35-year-old has been released
because the perception is that he
has “retired”.
Not so, says Paulse.
While the striker, who gave
Ajax many years of loyal service, is
already focusing on the next phase
of his career – he is currently doing
the Caf C coaching licence – he
believes he still has the energy, the
drive and the hunger to perform in
the PSL.
New signings at Ajax include
striker Sedwyn George, who picked
up the NFD Golden Boot at the PSL
awards ceremony last night for
scoring 20 goals for Royal Eagles
last season, and powerful central
defender Isaac Nhlapo, signed from
Platinum Stars.
CAPE TOWN CITY
City’s preparation for the new
season is spearheaded by new
coach Benni McCarthy, who will be
assisted by Ian Taylor.
McCarthy, in his first season as a
head coach, will rely heavily on the
support of Taylor. The former Batts-
wood player is a quiet, yet intelli-
gent presence behind the scenes
and knows the PSL inside-out.
All eyes will be on McCarthy,
though, to see whether he can
emulate his playing success as a
coach. The former Bafana striker’s
famous quote about his new role
is “everybody has to start some-
where”, which is why he is not
putting himself under too much
pressure.
City’s new signings include
striker Ayanda Patosi, Mozambi-
can defender Jeitoso and former
Bloemfontein Celtic winger Lyle
Lakay. It’s a welcome return home
for Lakay, who could have an influ-
ential role to play early on in the
season as Aubrey Ngoma makes his
way back from a knee operation.
A big loss for City, however, is
Thato Mokeke, who has returned
to SuperSport United.
The versatile footballer was an
influential presence for the Cape
side last season, in a number of
positions on the field, and he will
be missed.

Africa needs harmonised football calendar​
MAZOLA MOLEFE
CAF president Ahmad Ahmad
has left the door ajar for the
possibility of all African
leagues operating under a
unified calendar after it was
evident yet again following the
weekend’s Champions League
and Confederation Cup round
of matches that some regions
are disadvantaged by the
current set-up.
During his tour of the
SA Football Association
premises yesterday, Ahmad,
who succeeded Issa Hayatou
as the CAF president in
March, acknowledged that
having the various countries
schedule their leagues to run
from January to November
while others use the European
format of August to May
had increasingly become a
contentious debate.
“It’s the right question to
ask on whether we should
harmonise the programme,”
he told journalists. “We have
a symposium next month
and there we have not only
invited the heads of the
football associations, but also
presidents of the different
clubs. We have invited all
the stakeholders because we
really need to think about this
and come up with a better
solution.”
The contrasting calendar
has not only been an issue with
regards to club competitions,
but when it comes to
international tournaments
such as the regional COSAFA
Cup, which concluded in
Rustenburg on Sunday with
Zimbabwe being crowned
winners following their 3-1
thrashing of Zambia, as
well as the African Nations
Championship, more
commonly known as CHAN,
which only allows national
team coaches to select players
from their respective domestic
leagues.
Both competitions do not
fall on Fifa dates, meaning
clubs have the right to withhold
players. The COSAFA Cup
failed to attract decent crowds,
even when home side Bafana
Bafana – with a team made up
of little known players from the
Premier League and National
First Division – played.
“But there is no scientific
research telling us we should
scrap these tournaments,” said
Ahmad. “The CHAN is a legacy
left behind by my predecessor
and we should fight to preserve
it. If anything, we need to
work on improving them going
forward. We need a study that
will allow us to do that with
these two competitions. Our
idea really is to talk to Fifa and
reinforce the competition in
the zones because the continent
is so vast that the only way to
improve the competition is
within its zone.”
The CHAN tournament is
likely to be moved to another
country with confirmation
from Ahmad that 2018 hosts
Kenya are far from ready and
their ability to stage the event
could be further derailed by
the country’s general elections
next month.
“At the moment the reality
is that they are not ready. They
have asked us to give them
until the end of August. But
we can still confirm that the
tournament will take place at
the scheduled date of January
next year. Our delegation
is talking to the (Kenya)
government about an action
plan and has identified areas
that need improvement.”
Bafana play Botswana away
on Saturday in the first leg of
their second round qualifier for
CHAN, with the return match
set to take place at Moruleng
Stadium a week later. Stuart
Baxter, the national team
coach, is expected to pretty
much use the same team he
picked during the COSAFA
Cup. But there will be several
changes as local teams return
for pre-season ahead of the
start of the 2017/18 campaign.
Bardet takes it to the ninth degree
BERGERAC, France: Romain
Bardet’s attack on the
treacherous descent of the
Mont du Chat and his team’s
bold strategy during the ninth
stage of the Tour de France,
were lauded by three-times
champion Greg LeMond
yesterday.
Frenchman Bardet, runner-
up last year, had his AG2R-La
Mondiale team pile on the
pressure in the descent from
the Col de la Biche – one of
three out-of-category climbs
– which led Chris Froome’s
lieutenant, Geraint Thomas,
to crash and break his right
collarbone.
AG2R-La Mondiale, who are
based in the Chambery area
where the stage was held, used
their knowledge of the terrain
to blow the race wide open.
Bardet, known for his
aggressive style, went on the
attack on the last descent,
distancing race leader Froome
and other rivals.
He was only caught 2km
from the finish after a bold
solo ride in the final flat part
of the stage won by Colombian
Rigoberto Uran.
“I loved it, they took risks,
AG2R were really aggressive,”
LeMond, who is on the Tour as
an analyst for Eurosport, said.
“I love seeing a team strategy
that’s really ripping things
apart. It’s part of the strategy
to string things out.
“What Bardet did was grand
style.”
Bardet sits third overall,
51 seconds behind Froome of
Team Sky and 33 seconds adrift
of Italian Fabio Aru (Astana).
LeMond believes that
although Froome remains the
overwhelming favourite to add
to his 2013, 2015 and 2016 titles,
three riders are still in the mix
to unsettle the Briton.
“The real players are
Froome, Aru, Bardet and Uran,
who is going to do better than
people think. He’s the dark
horse,” said the American, who
won the Tour in 1986, 1989 and
1990.
Uran is fourth overall, 55
seconds off the pace, and his
Cannondale-Drapac team
manager Jonathan Vaughters
refers to him as “Voldemort,
the guy whose name can’t be
mentioned.”
Yesterday was a rest day
on the Tour, which resumes
with a flat 10th stage between
Perigueux and Bergerac today
before the big guns battle it
out again in the Pyrenees from
Thursday. – Reuters

PSL awards Manyama all the glory

MAZOLA MOLEFE City’s captain walks away with the big gongs, while Hunt and his Clever Boys enjoy favour as league hails its stars (Orlando Pirates)
MTN Player of

A
S MANY predicted,
Cape Town City cap-
tain and striker Le-
bogang Manyama
last night walked away with
the biggest individual accolade
at the PSL Awards when he was
crowned the 2016/17 campaign
Footballer of the Season.
Boasting an impressive 29
(out of 30) Absa Premiership
matches for City, who were
surprise title contenders and
finished in third place behind
winners Bidvest Wits and run-
ners-up Mamelodi Sundowns,
Manyama scored 13 goals and
also claimed the Golden Boot.
Although the competition
was stiff – defender Thulani
Hlatshwayo of Wits and the
Brazilians’ strongman, Hlom-
pho Kekana, were nominated
alongside the Bafana forward –
it would have been a shock had
Manyama, pictured, not won
the biggest prize on the night
having been a star performer
to help City, not only finish in
the top three, but also win the
Telkom Knockout in December.
Manyama’s peers also felt
he’d had an unbelievable year
and voted him the Players’
Player of the Season, meaning
he’d won in each category he
was nominated in, with the ex-
ception of the Telkom Knock-
out.
There, his teammate Aub-
rey Ngoma, also the winner of
the Premiership Midfielder of
the Season, received the Player
of the Tournament gong.
A side that enjoyed a night
just as memorable, were cham-
pions Wits, whose coach Gavin
Hunt was voted the Coach of
the Season for helping the
Clever Boys end an almost cen-
tury long drought by winning
their first ever championship.
With that achievement,
Hunt also joined an elite club
of coaches who have won the
league four times in the PSL,
alongside Gordon Igesund and
the late Ted Dumitru. It was
also the fifth time Hunt, who
turns 53 today, accepted the
Coach of the Season award in
the Premier League era.
Adding to the individual
awards at Wits were goalkeeper
Darren Keet and captain Hlat-
shwayo for the Goalkeeper
and Defender of the Season
awards, respectively. And, per-
haps controversially so, young
Phakamani Mahlambi walked
away with the Young Player of
the Season award, even though
there has been a public out-
cry that he perhaps did not do
enough to warrant him being
nominated in the first place.

INDIA STILL
COACHLESS
THE CRICKET Advisory Committee of
the Indian board (BCCI) interviewed
five candidates for the head coach’s
post yesterday but said it will name
Anil Kumble’s successor only after
consulting captain Virat Kohli, who is
in the US.
Former captain Kumble stepped
down as coach last month after
falling out with skipper Kohli despite
enjoying a successful run during his
year in charge.
Last year the BCCI formed the
CAC, comprising former players
Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly
and VVS Laxman, who chose Kumble
for the job.
The CAC interviewed Indians
Ravi Shastri, Virender Sehwag and
Lalchand Rajput, Australian Tom
Moody and Englishman Richard
Pybus to fill the vacant position, the
BCCI said in a statement. India toured

JACQUES VAN DER WESTHUYZEN
DON’T expect any surprises
from Johan Ackermann when he
names his line-up later this week
for Saturday’s all-important final
round robin Super Rugby match
against the Sharks in Durban.
Not even the return to fitness
of star centre Rohan Janse van
Rensburg is likely to sway the
Lions coach from picking the tried
and tested from recent weeks.
Ackermann is expected to
name a familiar looking side,
including Harold Vorster at inside
centre and Lionel Mapoe at 13.
Janse van Rensburg may get a
look-in on the bench, but he may
also have to wait a little longer to
make his return to Super Rugby
action.
VATA NGOBENI
Saturday: Sunwolves v Blues;
Chiefs v Brumbies; Hurricanes v
Crusaders; Force v Waratahs; Bulls
v Stormers; Sharks v Lions
The burly and powerful Janse
van Rensburg featured for around
20 minutes for the Golden Lions in
their SuperSport Rugby Challenge
match against Griquas on Sunday,
but is believed to be short on
match fitness and sharpness,
which may keep him from turning
out for Ackermann’s men this
weekend.
Sunday’s match was the first
outing for the inside centre since
he hurt his knee against the
Stormers some three months ago.
Before that, he was in
sensational form for the Super
Rugby outfit, but in his absence
Vorster has stepped up and also
played some sparkling rugby. He
was recognised for his efforts with
inclusion in the SA “A” team that
played two matches against the
TO NIBBLE SHARKS?
French Barbarians.
With so much riding on
the outcome of Saturday’s
trip to Durban – more so if the
Hurricanes beat the Crusaders
earlier in the day, paving the way
for the Lions to end top of the
overall log should they beat the
Sharks – Ackermann is unlikely
to take a chance with Janse van
Rensburg.
The Springbok No 12 himself
also seems unsure whether he is
ready to step up just yet.
He was quoted by the
SuperSport website yesterday
as saying: “It’s always difficult
to come back from a knee injury
because you never know how
strong it is. But it was good being
back on the field and taking that
first carry.
“I’m still a bit rusty and see a
lot of room for improvement.
“I now have to work hard to
make the knee even stronger and
get the confidence back.”
The Lions were back on the
training ground for the first time
in a week yesterday after having
a bye last weekend. Ackermann
will hope they are refreshed and
rested after an arduous build-up to
the run-in of Super Rugby where
several players turned out for the
Springboks and SA “A” side in
June.
On top of that, Ackermann
picked his strongest team to face
the Sunwolves after the June
break, and before their bye.
They got close to putting 100
points on the visitors from Japan
and while the Sharks will present
a far stiffer challenge than the
Sunwolves, the Lions will still
travel to Durban later this week
the hot favourites.
They have lost just once in 14
games all season – against the
Jaguares in Buenos Aires – and
edged the inconsistent Sharks
34-29 when they met in the first
match between the sides, in
Johannesburg, on April 1.
A late Elton Jantjies penalty
and Jaco Kriel try secured a tight
win for the hosts on that occasion.
So, expect a familiar
looking Lions team, with Ruan
Ackermann continuing in his
role at No 8 in place of the injured
Warren Whiteley, with the only
toss up in selection likely to be
between Ross Cronje and Faf de
Klerk at scrumhalf.
‘Practise how you expect to play,’ will
be the mantra, so no no-balls and
greater levels of concentration during
the fielding drills, something which
was absent ahead of the Lord’s match.
“It’s an easy fix, it’s about our
intensity in training,” Du Plessis
remarked. “Generally we are a very
good fielding unit, especially in Test
cricket in the last year, we’ve had some
amazing catches, and great fielding
performances so I won’t judge us on
one performance.”
Those areas may be an easy fix, but
the batting won’t be. South Africa is
trying to bed in another new opening
partner for Dean Elgar, Hashim
Amla’s form is shaky, JP Duminy is on
the way out and Theunis de Bruyn’s
only played two Tests.
Du Plessis has demanded
more from those who
have shown good form
recently. “Temba
(Bavuma) once
again is being
consistent, but
something Temba
needs to work
on is to convert

Lanka tour is in a week’s time, the

which could mean using just six
batsmen. In that case Duanne Olivier
and Chris Morris would be considered,
with De Bruyn then likely to sit out.
It’s a risky move given South Africa’s
batting troubles.
Meanwhile, Du Plessis spoke out
in support of Rabada saying
he would not expect an
apology from the young
fast bowler and that
he doesn’t want him
to lose his fiery
edge.
Rabada shouted
“fuck you” when
he dismissed Ben

IF THERE is any good that the

Bulls will take from Saturday’s
defeat to the Southern Kings at
Loftus Versfeld, then it is their
commitment to the cause, even if
all seems lost.
That commitment was epitom-
ized by lock RG Snyman’s chase
and try-saving tackle from behind
on Kings wing Makazole Mapimpi.
And that will be the same com-
mitment that the Bulls will need to
show in their last outing of the sea-
son against the Stormers at home
this weekend.
“Ja, I must say at first I thought
he was going to pull away a bit but I
realised that I might have a chance
and I just went for it and at a point
decided to dive and go all out,”
Snyman cuts to the chase: Stormers clash is personal
laughed the lanky Snyman after
training at Loftus yesterday.
“I don’t think there is anything
wrong with that aspect (the com-
mitment) in the team and we con-
stantly remind each other to keep
working for one another.”
And the Bulls will definitely
have to work for one another as a
team against a Stormers side that
will be baying for blood at the sight
of their wounded arch-rivals.
While the 22-year-old Snyman
joked about how sheepish his team-
mates, especially the wings, have
been at the realisation of how fast
he actually is, the former Affies
star athlete says they will need to
put their best foot forward and play
a bit of rugby when they face the
Stormers.
“The back three won’t say any-
thing at this stage because they
know I might catch them,” joked
Snyman.
“I think the most important
thing is for us not to hold back
because there is still one game re-
maining. Even though, in the end,
there is nothing in it for us, there
are still personal battles and it is
a massive game and challenge for
us as a team. We played them in
the first game of the season and
it didn’t go well, so this will be the
final chance to show what we have
and can do. We want to go out there
and play a bit.”
Play is something the Bulls and
Snyman have failed to do this year.
A victory against the Stormers
will not only end the season on a
high but it will give some inspir-
ation ahead of the Currie Cup,
where the Bulls will be looking at
going one better after losing last
year’s final to the Cheetahs.
“Things haven’t gone the way
we were hoping they would and we
will want to take something good
out of this game with them (Storm-
ers) having such a good season, as a
ray of light for those guys who are
going to be playing in the Currie
Cup,” Snyman said.
Snyman won’t be around to
play in the domestic season after
signing with the Honda Heat in
Japan and Saturday will be his last
opportunity this year to outplaying
incumbent Springbok locks Eben
Etzebeth and Pieter-Steph du Toit.
The Bulls, meanwhile, have
been bolstered by the return to
fitness and availability of flyhalf
Tony Jantjies (rib injury) and
Springbok prop Trevor Nyakane
(wrist injury), while Springbok
flyhalf Handre Pollard will be con-
sulting a specialist for his injured
ankle today to determine if he can
play against the Stormers.
those scores after
those starts. He’s
playing brilliantly
but he knows that 50s
don’t win us matches.
All our batters are in the
same boat. If you look at one of the
differences (in the first Test), it’s that
one guy scored 180 and that changes
the outcome of the game.”
With regards the bowling, Du
Plessis will want to assess conditions
at Nottingham before making a
decision about who will replace the
suspended Kagiso Rabada.
The South Africans will have noted
the statistics of England’s two attack
spearheads Stuart Broad and James
Anderson, who both enjoy bowling
at Trent Bridge. Anderson’s picked
up 53 wickets there at an average
of 19.24 while Broad, who plays for
Stokes in England’s
first innings, but Du
Plessis did not believe
the expletive was
directed at the England
all-rounder. “It wasn’t
anything to do with Ben, (Rabada)
didn’t have the rhythm he wanted, it
was just frustration coming through.
I’ve played with Ben I can tell you he’s
just as fiery but that’s what makes him
so competitive and so skillful. I called
him the dragon in the IPL because
he breathes fire when he gets angry.
That’s important, it’s important to
have characters like that. KG must not
lose that for one second.”

IT’S OFFICIAL: LUKAKU IS A RED DEVIL
LONDON: Manchester United completed
the signing of striker Romelu Lukaku on a
five-year contract yesterday.
The deal for the 24-year-old Belgium
international, which includes an option
for a sixth season, comes two days after
United announced a transfer agreement
with Everton.
United didn’t disclose the fee, but Brit-
ish media reported it to be an initial £75
million (about R103m) with another £15m
possible in add-ons.
Lukaku was the Premier League’s
second-top scorer last season with 25 goals.
The move reunites him with United
manager Jose Mourinho, who was Chelsea
boss when they sold him to Everton for
£28m in 2014.
“Romelu is a natural fit for Manches-
ter United,” Mourinho said on the club’s
website. “He is a big personality and a big
player. It is only natural that he wants to
develop his career at the biggest club. He
will be a great addition to the group and
I know they will make him very welcome.
“I am really looking forward to working
with him again.”
Lukaku scored 87 goals for Everton but
turned down the most lucrative contract in
club history back in March. – dpa
ZIMBABWE FINALLY CLINCH A SERIES VICTORY
HAMBANTOTA, Sri Lanka: Zimbabwe
clinched their first one-day international
series win against Sri Lanka after beating
the hosts by three wickets in the decider to
secure a 3-2 victory yesterday.
Zimbabwe captain Graeme Cremer won
the toss and sent Sri Lanka into bat, with his
bowlers restricting the hosts to 203/8 in 50
overs. Opener Hamilton Masakadza then
scored 73 runs to help the tourists reach 204
in the 39th over with three wickets in hand.
It was Zimbabwe’s first ODI series victory
over Sri Lanka in six attempts.
Offspinner Sikandar Raza played a key
role in the victory, finishing with 3/21 — his
best bowling figures in ODIs, before scoring
27 runs at the end of their innings.
Masakadza and fellow opener Solomon
Mire dominated Sri Lanka’s attack with a
92-run partnership which ended when Mire
(43) was bowled by Gunaratne.
Masakadza scored his runs in 86
deliveries, including nine fours and a six.
He was dismissed when Zimbabwe’s total
was on 137, triggering a collapse in which
Zimbabwe lost five more wickets for 38
runs to reach 175/7.
However, Raza came to the rescue with
a run-a-ball 27 to see his side through to a
historic win. – AP
