DEATH IN TAXI WAR

VIRGILATTE GWANGWA the new, hailing system, including

T
HE war between metered
taxi operators and the
Uber hailing system has
claimed its first fatality.
Lindelani Mashau was
caught up in a fiery inferno when
a petrol bomb was thrown at his
Uber-registered vehicle last month.
He died yesterday morning.
Mashau was sitting inside the car
outside Loftus Versfeld when he was
attacked, with a petrol bomb thrown
at his car on the weekend of June 10.
His car burst into flames with
him inside, leaving him with serious
injuries. He was rushed to the inten-
sive care unit of a local hospital and
was reportedly responding well to
treatment, but he succumbed to his
injuries yesterday morning.
Moments after reports of his
death were made public, almost 100
Uber cab operators gathered at the
scene of the incident, where they
burnt candles and held a sombre
memorial for their colleague.
They refused to talk to the media,
telling a team from the Pretoria
News that it was a private gathering
and strangers weren’t welcome.
Chasing the team away after
briefly pausing from their activ-
ities, one said: “We don’t want any
unfamiliar faces here… thank you.”
One offered to escort the team from
the scene of the memorial.
Mashau’s death comes as the feud
between metered taxis and Uber
continues over the legality of the
app-based service from having vehi-
cles positioned across the city and
province to transport passengers.

Relief for motorists as Tshwane launches plan B for licensing services

SAKHILE NDLAZI
sakhile.ndlazi@inl.co.za
THE City of Tshwane has made plans
to provide some licensing department
services after three city offices were
hit by a spate of break-ins and thefts
and two were forced to close down.
The Waltloo, Akasia and Centurion
licensing departments were burgled
and equipment stolen, leaving Walt-
loo and Centurion unable to provide
services and therefore closed to the
public.
Motorists from across the city
have had to flock to Akasia, standing
in long queues which start as early
at 5am and waiting for hours before
receiving assistance.
Last week frustrated motorists
said they had returned to the Akasia
department numerous times in an
attempt to get service after being
turned away when the number of
those who could be assisted was
reached.
Yesterday the city said they had
invoked a policy in line with licens-
ing services management. “In terms
of the law, a driving licence card
holder may renew their licence at any
licensing centre in the country, any
other convenient testing centre may
be approached in this regard,” said
MMC for community safety Derrick
Kissoonduth.
He said motorists would get fines
for expired licence disks as they could
be renewed at the nearest post office,
and, he said, a limited driving licence
card renewal service had been intro-
duced at the Centurion Licensing
Centre.
Kissoonduth said applicants in
possession of an optometrist’s eye
test certificate would be assisted,
but because of the break-in earlier
this month the service was limited
to about 100 clients a day. It became
operational last Thursday.
Applicants who visited the Akasia
and the Bronkhorstspruit licensing
centres were encouraged to take
optometrist certificates along with
them, to reduce the renewal proced-
ure.
Executive mayor of Tshwane Solly
Msimanga condemned the robberies,
saying the city would do everything
in its power to bring the perpetrators
to book.
According to Kissoonduth, the
computers stolen at the Centurion
Licence Centre were “special and
unique computers” which were only
issued by the national Department of
Transport.
“We as the city have to get direc-
tion from national level. We as the city
have our hands tied,” he said.
The city has been besieged by
licensing problems for months now
after the various centres experienced
problems, with services such as
vehicle disk renewals, driver’s licence
renewals and tests being disrupted by
staff problems, off-line systems, cable
theft, and, more recently, the theft of
equipment.
Motorists, some of whom said
they usually went to the centres on
their way to and from work and other
business engagements, have reacted
with anger at the inconvenience of
using one office, and the long queues
at Akasia Licensing Centre.
When a Pretoria News team vis-
ited the offices last week, motorists
spoke of braving the chilly weather
and being there from the early hours
to queue outside the centre.
They were not confident of being
served by the centre which opens at
8am and closes at 4pm and can only
assist 200 people a day.
In June, Akasia Licence Centre
was burgled. Nothing was taken and
two people were arrested by the police.
In the past weeks motorists were
turned away from Centurion licensing
centre, after a burglary. Preliminary
investigations revealed that comput-
ers, eNatis screens and camera equip-
ment had been stolen.
The burglary came a day after
the Pretoria News reported that the
Centurion licensing centre had been
inundated with motorists from differ-
ent parts of Tshwane because other
licensing centres, especially Waltloo,
were offline.
Waltloo licensing centre also
had two burglaries in June.
Equipment stolen included seven
live capturing unit computer
systems used for eye testing and
thumb imprints, eNatis System
Computers, one revenue information
management system, and three of the
city’s computers.
The Rayton licensing centre
remains closed for renovations.
“At this stage, unfortunately, a time
frame cannot be determined due to the
multitude of processes that have to be
finalised, including, but not limited to,
our engagement with the relevant prov-
incial structures,” Kissoonduth said.
“Safe to say that the city is working
on all fronts to expedite the processes.
“We again wish to apologise for
the inconvenience caused by these
robberies,” he said.

Laboratory strike looms After

GOITSEMANG TLHABYE
GAUTENG hospitals and clinics could
face another setback as the National
Health Laboratory Service (NHLS)
looks set to be hit by a national strike.
This comes as the NHLS and unions
representing workers are reported to
have deadlocked over pay negotiations.
The organisation allegedly tabled
an offer to unions of 3% which is less
than the national inflation rate of 6%.
DA shadow MEC for health Jack
Bloom said the NHLS could only offer
3% total cost-to-company as opposed to
the 7.3% demanded by unions.
Bloom said the reason behind the
lack of funds was debt repayment by
the various provinces.

SIX years ago a 12-year-old girl
injured her right leg during a soccer
match with her friends. A few days
later her leg had to be amputated
above the knee due to sepsis – all
because of the negligence of the
staff at the Mamelodi Hospital.
Christina Mashilo, 44, who lived
close to Bronkhorstspruit, sued the
Gauteng MEC for Health for more
than R2.5 million in damages. This
was done on behalf of her daughter
Ayanda, who is today 18 years old.
While there was not a shred of
evidence before the Gauteng High
Court, Pretoria, that the staff did
anything to treat the severely ill
Ayanda in April 2011, the health
EFF
flayed for
its stand
RAPULA MOATSHE
THE EFF in Tshwane has come
under fire for its “hypocritical”
stance towards the plight of for-
mer security guards fighting to be
insourced into the municipality.
Labelling the EFF councillors
hypocrites, ANC caucus spokes-
person Lesego Makhubela said they
had, on several occasions, voted in
support of council motions that
didn’t take into consideration the
workers’ plight.
At least 3 000 security guards lost
their jobs after the contracts of sec-
urity companies and the city, that
they worked for, expired.
The EFF has vociferously
expressed its support for the cause
of the security guards since they
embarked on protests earlier this
month.
In one of the protests, one of the
party leaders, Obakeng Ramabodu,
promised that the EFF would ask
mayor Solly Msimanga to employ
them on a five-month contract to
assess their performance.
Ramabodu said Msimanga would
have to hire them on a full-time basis
based on how they performed.
Makhubela said: “You wear your
smelly overall and go to a march, but
then when you wear the same overall
to council and the same matter is
raised – you choose to agree with
the DA. What are you saying? It’s
hypocrisy.”
Makhubela said the ANC was
not hypocritical because it put into
practice in council what it preached.
“What you do when you march is
nothing. The EFF is comfortable in
this alliance and actually the EFF
councillors are resigning to be dir-
ectors in the city. The infighting in
the EFF is too big and now they want
to replace each other as councillors.
They want permanent employment
in the city,” he said.
EFF leader Benjamin Disoloane
said the allegations by the ANC were
baseless because there had not been
a councillor who took up a director-
ship job in the municipality.
“Anyone who is saying we are
mixing with the DA is dreaming.
We have no relationship with the
DA. Two councillors have resigned
because they got other jobs and I
don’t know what type of jobs they
got. You can ask them,” he said.
Disoloane said the EFF voted with
the DA on the mayoral budget speech
because it covered the insourcing
of workers, who included cleaners
in the city.
ANC chief whip Aaron Maluleka
said: “There is no honesty from the
DA, they want to deal with people
who they perceive to be ANC mem-
bers.
“They want to remove them and
make sure that they absorb either
DA or EFF members. There is no
honesty in terms of what they are
talking about wanting to save money
for the city.”
Msimanga recently said the city
was spending R200 million a year
on security companies, saying the
amount was not sustainable.

authorities blamed the fact that she

It was claimed the mother did

charged. The hospital also said the
mother failed to notice that sepsis
had developed in the child’s limb.
It was said the mother should have
taken the child back to the hospital
sooner.

outraged by this and said Mashilo

S
OME of the 3 000 security
guards who worked at the
City of Tshwane while
employed by private sec-
urity companies marched
to Tshwane House yesterday to
demand permanent jobs from the
Metro.
The guards lost their jobs after
contracts of security companies
they worked for in the city expired
in March.
Under the banner of #Outsourc-
ingMustFall, they demanded to be
insourced by the municipality and
be paid a minimum wage of R10 000
every month.
They gathered at Church Square
in the morning and then departed
to the municipal offices, where they
vowed not to leave until mayor Solly
Msimanga had spoken to them.
The guards chanted anti-Msi-
manga songs, accusing him of
spreading lies in the media that they
were advancing the political cause
of certain political parties.
“The mayor doesn’t want to speak
to us. We are not sent by the ANC
or the EFF. We are fighting for our
jobs,” they said.
#OutsourcingMustFall spokes-
person Austin Mofya said workers
demanded that they be absorbed as
permanent employees by the City
and paid a living wage.
“The City of Tshwane must take
urgent and immediate action to
make sure workers are not jobless
when contracts expire, and those
who have already been retrenched
are reinstated with immediate
effect,” he said.
Mofya said many of the work-
ers were EFF constituents and
demanded that the EFF pull its
support for the DA-led Tshwane
municipality immediately to stop
the job losses.
Security guard leader Isaac Sib-
anda said city manager Moeketsi
Mosola had requested to meet with
workers representatives on Friday
to further discuss their demands.
MMC for community safety Der-
rick Kissoonduth denounced the
protest by the guards, saying it was
unlawful.

for her desperate attempts to have
the child transferred from Mamelodi
Hospital to Steve Biko Hospital, her
daughter may not have survived the
“cruel onslaught” of septicaemia
and other complications which
ultimately led to the amputation of
her leg.
The judge said that to “add insult
to injury” the health authorities
tried their best to shift the blame
on to the shoulders of a mother who
“desperately tried to save the life of
her daughter when she saw that the
Mamelodi Hospital was not treating
her critically ill daughter”.
Former security guards who worked for companies that were contracted by the City of Tshwane march to the office of the mayor. They are demanding to be
employed by the municipality despite their contracts coming to an end. 
He said the protest was staged
despite the assurance by Msimanga
that security guards would “have
access to opportunities within the
city on a needs basis”.
Kissoonduth said: “Claims that
the City refuses to absorb employees
are simply not true as evidenced by
the absorption of employees from
Sandspruit Works Association
(SWA) and other groups, which
include meter readers and the like.
Security personnel will have access
to these opportunities on a needs
basis.”
He said the City had identified
human capital within the Tshwane
Metro Police Department who could
“Often there are needs within
our own communities that we might
miss because we are looking for
opportunities in other areas.
“But let’s not forget that ‘charity
begins at home’ and that’s why we
started off at the Tshwane Haven as
they form part of the people we are
tasked with serving.”
Nair said their officers were also
taking part in other charity events
throughout the year aside from the
67 minutes initiative.
“I’m proud to have police offi-
cers with big hearts going above
and beyond for the community they
serve.
“By giving in even simple ways
towards a community, police officers
find meaning in their own lives and
it increases the commitment to the
community they serve,” she said.
Nair said gift bags with baby
accessories and gifts for the chil-
dren were made possible through
a united community effort which

The judge also frowned upon the
fact that no medical records regard-

was of concern to the court as to
why only a fraction of the Mamelodi
Hospital’s documentation was made
available in this case, yet the hospi-
tal fought the claim tooth and nail.
Judge Basson said that in terms
of the National Health Care Act,
the health authorities are obliged
to keep and protect health records.

this requires us to be smart with
our resources. That is to say that of
the R210 million budgeted for over-
time in the 2017/18 financial year,
R110 million will be used to create
employment in the places where we
need it most – our artisans such
as plumbers and electricians who

A plaster of paris cast was at first
administered to the child’s leg at the
Bronkhorstspruit Hospital before
she was transferred to Mamelodi
Hospital. There were no records
available of the admission.
She stayed in Mamelodi Hospital
for three days and according to the
mother, she received no treatment
during this time. The mother slept
on a hospital bench the entire time
and she took care of her daughter.
The mother was so desperate that
she “wanted to hike with Ayanda
back to Bronkhorstspruit”.
The former guards make their feelings known, backing up their demand for
fulltime employment and salaries of R10 000 .

Albans College has a
strong sense of community and has
an admirable concern for others.
Inspired by a 23-day, 405km school
hike with 124 of his fellow pupils,
Ashton has set up an ambitious
crowdfunding campaign on Backa-
buddy to raise R125 000 to feed 150
impoverished individuals for the
next six months.
“This trip was the first time in
my life that I wasn’t able to open a
fridge door when I wanted to. It made
me realise how essential food is and
got me thinking how terrible it must
be to go without a meal for a day, let
alone a few days,” he said.
Ashton realised the importance
of a good breakfast on this trip, and
said his school’s “best kept secret”,
the mysterious and marvellous
“Breakfast pack” is what got the
boys through their hike.
Ashton has made it his mission to
share the long-standing tradition of
the “Breakfast Pack” with those who
need it the most, the marginalised
city dwellers who rely on feeding
schemes, many of them no longer
operating due to a lack of funds.
Those schemes that have sur-
vived, like the St Albans College
programme, are under tremendous
pressure to feed more mouths with
limited capacity. Ashton realised the
drastic need for a fully functional,
sustainable feeding scheme with
enough resources to feed the masses.
He set up his own campaign
on BackaBuddy to crowdfund his
cause and to create and distribute
a “Breakfast Pack”, whose contents
are unknown to the public, but are
said to be nutritionally rich and eas-
ily prepared by adding water.
These packs are loved and enjoyed
by the students of St Albans College.
Ashton has a very clear idea of
what he wants to achieve and is no

“Quite simply I’m a very lucky

“Students from this academy will

But to this day, and after num-

“All we get from the police is

Due to police allegedly refusing
to give the family the report, the
family had to ask for donations from
other family members so they could
bury her.
“Imagine asking for donations

“And we had to go through this

The family was frustrated that
they had to be the ones to follow
police around to get information
when it should be the other way
around. Lebelo said they had to
wait two months before they could
get the post-mortem reports, which
they had to beg for.
He said they were not happy
with the treatment from the police.
They thought the police investi-

Naidoo said measuring quality
of care was an important way to
improve care. “By allowing patients

The announcement came just
hours after the chairperson of the
Standing Committee on Public

condemned the alleged death threats
against the Sassa CEO, labelling it
“brazen lawlessness”.
Godi said he held a long dis-
cussion with Magwaza on Sunday

against him and the work of finalis-
ing the contract between Sassa and
the South African Post Office (Sapo)
to replace the disgraced Cash Pay-

“As Scopa, we are shocked and
angry at what is evidently brazen

can frustrate the Sassa Sapo contract
and instead open the door for the
looting of public funds,” Godi said.

“Government must demonstrate

cannot have managers forced out

DESIREE ERASMUS
THE MOERANE Commission
investigating political killings in
KwaZulu-Natal heard yesterday that
Durban south’s notorious Glebel-
ands Hostel was a haven for hitmen
who operated throughout the prov-
ince.
Testifying on resumption of the
commission after a month’s recess,
human rights activist Vanessa
Burger said that according to her
research, hitmen based at the hos-
tel were used throughout KwaZulu-
Natal as killers for hire.
“There are 89 killings in the
province that can be traced back to
hitmen based at Glebelands hostel,”
from 2014 to date, she said. “Any-
one who wants someone taken out,
Glebelands is the place to go,” she
said.
Burger, a graphic designer by
trade, is a well known figure at
KwaZulu-Natal hostels, where she
has been an activist for justice for
years. She also has several friends
within the hostel communities.
Her testimony included a map she
had designed that plotted murders in
the province thought to have been
connected to Glebeland’s hitmen,
murders that were “probably as a
result of Glebelands hitmen” and
those socio-economically affected as
a result of the killings.
Evidence leader for the commis-
sion advocate Bheki Manyathi was
questioning Burger. He said that
four witnesses that had testified
before the commission at its first
sitting agreed that hitmen based at
Glebelands were used throughout
the province.
Manyathi said that those wit-
nesses testified that the killings in
the province and Glebelands were a
result of “politics, power, financial
enrichment, criminality (warlords/
hitmen) and failures on the parts of
the municipality, SAPS and Durban
metro police”.
Burger agreed, and then traced
a harrowing picture of a patron-
age network that allegedly included
politicians, prosecutors and police.
Glebelands Hostel is a sprawling
complex in uMlazi that consists of
71 blocks and about 22 000 residents.
Burger said that while the
newer blocks were family units, the
medium and older blocks housed up
to 10 people per room, “at least”. The
rooms are designed to accommodate
four people.
Besides hitmen, the hostel is
known to be a haven for criminals
who extort money from residents
and taxi owners.
Burger says that money obtained
during these “collections” enabled
them to buy weapons, including
police rifles, which were used in
politically-linked violence and other
criminal acts.
“There are collections going on in
the older blocks where residents are
forced at gunpoint and threatened
with eviction if they don’t give vari-
ous amounts of money,” she said.
The going rate was R50 per per-
son or a minimum of R200 per room
per month. It was estimated that
about R220 000 per month had been
collected this way, Burger said.
“Mothers with children are being
extorted. The money is used to buy
guns, pay for hitmen, bribe pros-
ecutors, investigative officers and
magistrates,” she told the commis-
sion.
Burger said that according to her
research “thugs” controlled as many
as 14 of Glebelands’ 71 blocks, but
the number could be higher. She said
she interviewed 25 residents who
indicated that the average income
per resident was R1 500 per month.
Only 6% received social grants. The
average length each respondent had
lived at the hostel was 16.5 years.
“Out of the 25 people that I inter-
viewed, 21 had family members that
were completely reliant on them.
Seven of the respondents said police
assaulted them and 12 out of the
25 said they had been victims of
attempted murder.
Where cases were laid, all had
been acquitted or provisionally with-
drawn,” she said.
The commission is running
until Friday, with some testimonies
expected to take place in camera.
Premier Willies Mchunu has said
an option “being explored” was the

places that had experienced killings

duly once a report has been issued.”
Zuma has been under fire in
recent times over state capture and
leaked e-mails.
The SACP has decided to contest
elections on its own in future.
However, it would have a special
conference next year after the ANC’s
elective conference in December to
decide on the way forward.
The SACP also said it would not
be in opposition to the ANC when it
contests the elections.
The party has prevented Zuma
from addressing its members after
its call for him to go.
This was the same position taken
by Cosatu a few months ago after
Zuma was booed and prevented
from addressing a May Day rally in
Mangaung.
Zuma was taken to court by the
opposition on his cabinet reshuffle.
But in court papers he did not
mention the intelligence report, say-
ing the opposition must produce it.
Mapaila said they believe Zuma
was not telling them the truth on this
report and the SACP has decided to
complain to the Inspector-General of
Intelligence. Dintwe assumed office
a few months ago. He was recom-
mended by Parliament in November.
Zuma approved his appointment in
March.

want the investigations and suspen-
sions of directors-general in depart-
ments that are key to agriculture and
farming to be resolved quickly.
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
Minister Senzeni Zokwana suspended
director-general Mike Mlengana last
week, pending investigations.
Rural Development and Land
Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti
suspended director-general Mduduzi
Shabane a few months ago.
Shabane and Mlengana’s positions
are being filled by temporary officials.
Yesterday, AgriSA and the African
Farmer Association of South Africa
(Afasa) said investigations into the
officials and related disciplinary pro-
cesses should be finalised soon so the
departments were not run by people
acting in a temporary capacity for a
long time.
The organisations said suspensions
had taken place when both depart-
ments faced many challenges, such
as the outbreak of avian influenza,
land reform and commercialisation
of black farmers.
“We are extremely concerned with
the issue of the two departments.
These are key departments which ser-
vice farmers,” Afasa secretary-general
Aggrey Mahanjana said.
“Somebody employed in an acting
capacity won’t be in a position to take
decisions. Critical decisions will be
shelved so this thing of acting persons
will really affect service delivery to the
farming community.”
AgriSA president Johannes Moller
echoed these sentiments, saying the
suspensions would have a negative
effect on the farming sector.
“There are so many challenges, and
then the director-general is suspended.
When there is no director-general,
implementation suffers. It will catch
up with us in the future,” he said.
Mahanjana said the effects of the
suspension in Rural Development
and Land Reform Department were
already being felt.
“The minister promised a few
months ago that all black farmers who
don’t have genuine lease agreements
will get 30-year leases – and the dead-
line was the end of July.
“In the Department of Water
Affairs and Forestry there are many
other programmes the president
promised would be commercialised.
We don’t see this taking shape, we are
extremely concerned,” he said.
AgriSA and Afasa asked Nkwinti
and Zokwana to speed up investiga-
tions into the suspended top officials.
“We request the ministers to
expedite the investigations. The
investigations must be finalised and
departments must ensure perma-
nent persons drive service delivery,”
Mahanjana said.
Moller said: “We want the min-
isters is to resolve the issues. The
agriculture sector cannot go on like
this. There must be directors-general.”
The Water and Sanitation Depart-
ment’s director-general, Dan Mashit-
isho, has also been served with a
notice of suspension.
Portfolio committee chairperson
Lulu Johnson described Mashit-
isho’s suspension as “alarming” and
“undesirable” since it brought to five
the number of senior officials sus-
pended.
Johnson said this did not bode
well for governance at the troubled
department.
“The committee calls for urgent
processing and finalisation of all
disciplinary processes involving sen-
ior managers at the department to
ensure that governance and strategic
structures are revitalised,” he said.
Scopa chairperson Themba Godi
was more scathing over the wave of
suspensions, including the reported
threats of Sassa CEO Thokozani Mag-
waza, who abruptly left yesterday.
Godi said government should
demonstrate seriousness about good
governance and the fight against cor-
ruption.
“We cannot have managers forced
out or suspended in order to facilitate
corruption. Government commitment
to fight corruption must go beyond
mere words,” he said.
Godi viewed the suspension of
Mashitisho and Mlengana as “point-
ing to a conflict of interest with their
political principals”.

The good news ……... There are solutions for those suffering from all above problems!!!!
Evaluation of venous disease is painless, quick and easy. Dr Gideon van Wyk, Christelle de Bruin and Rene Gerber (both sonographers)
at Vein Solution Rooms at Flora Clinic and Stellenbosch will perform a simple noninvasive test called a venous duplex (ultrasound) as a
vein mapping to diagnose the problematic vein segments or segment.
Next, we will tailor a treatment plan specific to your anatomy and desired outcome. The first line of therapy includes conservative options
such as leg elevation, and compression stockings. Conservative therapy may initially help ease the pain of varicose veins but will not
provide definitive treatment. If conservative treatment fails, treatment of the underlying problem can be offered and is covered by most
Medical Schemes.
There are currently several minimally-invasive office therapies available. Endovenous radio-frequency ablation used to close the saphenous
vein and eliminate reflux. The T.I.R.S (Terminal Interruption of the Reflux Source) is new technique to heal most venous ulcers in
4 to 8 weeks.
Important: The first screening is free; your medical aid will only be charged if the procedure was done and there is a
pre-authorization number.

NHI – the best way to keep
madiba legacy alive
The best way of keeping the legacy of Nelson Mandela alive is to accelerate
the implementation of the NHI, writes Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi
T
ODAY, July 18,
marks the birthday
of the father of our
new South African
nation, Nelson
Mandela.
Many people throughout
the country will engage in one
noble cause or another to help
the less fortunate among us
and to promote the good in all
of us in honour of Madiba,
an icon of all that is good
in humanity – love, justice,
freedom and equality.
For our part as the
Department of Health, the
best way to honour Mandela
and keep his legacy alive is to
move with speed to implement
the National Health Insurance
(NHI), a health financing plan
that will ensure quality health
care to all South Africans
regardless of their social or
economic status.
It is not a secret that
Mandela loved everybody,
including those who had
positioned themselves as his
enemies.
But he had a special
space in his big heart for
children. The huge parties
that he hosted for children,
mainly from disadvantaged
background, in his home
village of Qunu in the Eastern
Cape every December became
annual calendar events for
various media houses and
some business people who
sought to impress Mandela by
donating Christmas gifts to
the children.
Because of his undying
love for children, Mandela
raised funds to build a state of
the art hospital for children.
The facility was completed
after his death.
It is clear that Mandela
valued the provision of health
care as crucially important.
So, during times like these
when we, as a collective, reflect
on his selfless contribution
to the betterment of society
him and try our best to keep
his legacy alive, we should
give him a report about how
we are moving to create a
better quality of live for all,
particularly children, the most
vulnerable in our society.
We are proud to tell
Mandela, the undisputed
champion of the vulnerable
and the poor, that we, inspired
by the Constitution that
orders us to give health care to
all people, have launched the
NHI.
We can report that while
the white paper on NHI has
just been adopted by the
cabinet, we had already
started helping children
through the NHI-related
initiatives.
Some of the deliverables we
have made in pursuing your
dream of a better life include
the following:
l We have reduced the
infant mortality rate from 45
per 1000 in 1998 to 35per 1000
in 2016.
l We have reduced the
under 5 mortality rate from 59
per 1000 in 1998 to 42 per 1000
in 2016.
l Through our campaign to
educate mothers about the need
to breastfeed, we have increased
exclusive breastfeeding rate
from 7% in 1998 to 32% in 2016.
l We offer HPV vaccine
to our girls in our campaign
against cervical cancer.
l We have tested more than
3 million learners on eyesight,
hearing and oral hygiene.
A long and healthy life for all South Africans
The mother-to-child
transmission of HIV rate has
decreased from 8% in 2008 to
less than 1.5% in 2016.
This means that a
significantly smaller number
of infants are born with HIV.
As well, the institutional
maternal mortality rate
(mothers who die giving birth
in health facilities) has also
declined.
This is important as we
know that infants are more
likely to survive and thrive if
their moms are present.
Institutional maternal
mortality has declined from
190/100 000 live births in 2009
to 127/100 000 in 2015.
As a result largely of the
significant number of people
living with HIV being on
ARVs, the life expectancy of
South Africans has increased.
STATSSA reported that
male life expectancy in
2010 was 56.5 years which
increased to 61.9 years in 2015;
female life expectancy was 61.2
years in 2010 and rose to 67.7
years in 2015.
But for us as the
Department of Health, the
big project reverse the legacy
of apartheid in health and
inequality is the NHI.
For ages, the apartheid
system neglected black areas
and provided poor quality
health care in black towns and
townships.
Through the NHI, we are
systematically reversing this.
One of the pillars of the NHI
is primary health care. This
means that our people who
live in rural areas would not
need to travel long distances
to hospitals where they would
most likely stand in long
queues.
The sick would visit
the nearby clinics. We
Pictures: Nhlanhla Phillips, Dumisani Sibeko and Cindy Waxa
are currently engaged in
a massive infrastructure
development programme
whereby we are refurbishing
clinics and building new ones
to ensure that all our people
have access to good quality
health care.
Through the NHI
programme, we have
developed the concept on an
ideal clinic. We have already
launched several pilot projects
for an ideal clinic. One of
the noticeable difference
between the ideal clinic and an
ordinary clinic at the moment
is the availability of a doctor
at the ideal clinic.
The availability of a
medical doctor at a clinic
will go a long way to improve
the quality level of health
care provision at local area.
This will also help boost the
confidence that our people
would have in the system.
The result is that we will be
able to reduce long queues in
our hospitals as some of the
services would be offered at
the clinic level.
The other pillar of the
NHI is a strong focus on
prevention.
Through the NHI
programme, we are rolling
out a massive prevention
programme. Although we
have been able to put more
than 3,6 million on ARV
programme, the truth is that
there is currently no cure for
Aids and prevention remains
the most effective tool to keep
our people healthy.
In this regard, we have
invested lots of resources
towards better quality free
condoms and their better
distribution throughout the
country.
We are spending lots of
money to promote a healthy
TUESDAY JULY 18 2017
lifestyle.
Through various
campaigns, we have
launched initiatives aimed
at discouraging our people,
especially the youth, from
smoking and the excessive use
of alcohol. We also launched
a programme to teach our
people about the dangers of
sugar and salt.
While all these initiatives
are noble gestures to improve
the quality of life, they remain
secondary. The primary focus
in the efforts to improve
health care provision is
allocation of resources.
Money is at the centre of
health care. Currently too
much money is being spent on
too few people and this legacy
of apartheid that Mandela and
others like him fought so hard
against, must change.
The NHI is that funding
mechanism that equalises
the provision of health care
between the haves and have-
nots.
The NHI is the effective
tool that reverses apartheid
planning that sought to
condemn the majority of
people to ill-equipped and
understaffed hospitals while
the minority, the rich, had
exclusive use of the best
medical facilities in the
country.
Equity is what Mandela
fought for. Let us keep his
legacy by promoting equity in
health care.
NHI is our answer to
address the inequity in health.

Gathering for Madiba’s final birthday

Looking back on the last moments with Nelson Mandela, the head of his medical team, former surgeon-general of the SANDF
Vejay Ramlakan, has written his own account of those days. This is an extract
from his book, Mandela’s Last Years

W
HILE a prisoner
on Robben Island,
I had been part of
the central polit-
ical education com-
mittee. I was privy to some of the
more sensitive debates among the
leaders there. One of the most ani-
mated debates among the youth on
Robben Island had been the annual
celebration of Madiba’s birthday
and the focus in the anti-apartheid
platforms on this event.
The youth had felt that all lead-
ers’ birthdays should be celebrated,
and they could not understand why
Madiba had been singularly hon-
oured. As there were political pris-
oners on the island who were older
and who had been in the Struggle
longer than Madiba, some young
members felt that if a symbolic focus
was necessary, then it should have
been Govan Mbeki or Walter Sisulu,
Mandela’s seniors.
Over time, through painstaking
and patient discussion, the decision
to celebrate Mandela’s birthday was
ratified. In Madiba, the movement
had a charismatic symbol of the
guerrilla revolutionary. His actions
expressed the fortitude and fierce
determination of all leaders of the
Struggle, and in his demeanour he
was a model for responsible and
popular leadership. By focusing
on Madiba, the Congress Alliance
had created an image of the South
African Struggle with which all free-
dom-loving people throughout the
world could identify.
Although the origin of the idea
of a post-freedom global Mandela
Day is difficult to pin down, its roots
lie in the earlier Madiba birthday
celebrations. Over time, the concept
of selfless and effective service to
one’s fellow man replaced the con-
cept of support for the demise of
apartheid. When the idea was taken
to the Non-Aligned Movement sum-
mit in Egypt in 2009 and lobbied by
Jacob Zuma, the entire 156-member
body supported the resolution. Its
passage through the UN General
Assembly in November 2009 went
unhindered, as Madiba was now
respected globally. It was the first
time in its history that the UN had
declared a day after a named indi-
vidual – an unprecedented honour.
“It is going to be a busy and
chaotic day,” I said to myself as I
prepared to leave for the hospital
after my walk that morning. The
Mandela family had planned a
birthday party at the hospital and
VVIPs had been invited. President
Zuma had also planned to visit, and
the chief of the defence force had
asked the army band to play Happy
Birthday for Mandela when Zuma
arrived. South Africa and the rest of
the world wanted to show the great
man how much he was loved, even
if he was in the ICU!
The challenge was how to allow
as much of the emotion to flow as
possible without compromising the
strict protocols of an ICU ward or
jeopardising the care of the patient.
Ayanda Mkhize then 7, writes a get-well message on a painting of Nelson
Mandela during his stay in hospital. 
This was going to be a very diffi-
cult exercise.
Downstairs, the hospital staff
were showing their enthusiasm by
decorating the lobby with messages
of support and banners and ribbons
in the ANC’s colours of black, green,
yellow and white.
Would his extended family be
able to celebrate his birthday at
his side? Just two days earlier, this
would have been possible without
any undue concerns.
But that day would register a
decline in his overall state, despite
the early “all okay” signals.
The early-morning panel decided
that respiratory muscle weakness
prevented a full weaning off the
ventilator. Also, some tests indi-
cated an early sepsis. The situation
remained fragile.
Nevertheless, after five weeks
in an intensive care unit, Madiba’s
general health continued to astound
us all. It was as if a determined and
fierce resolve was being exercised.
We were witness to an unfolding
miracle.
President Zuma arrived to con-
vey his good wishes soon after the
panel meeting ended. Along with my
colleagues, I briefed him on the situ-
ation and then, in surgical cap and
mask, he went through to Mandela’s
ward. The band struck up a hearty
Happy Birthday.
Madiba was in bed but alert and
able to greet the president. Zuma
then told him briefly what he had
been doing that morning – handing
over houses to former shack-dwell-
ers as part of the nation-building
that he, Madiba, had initiated. It
was a poignant meeting and Madiba
acknowledged the goodbye with his
eyes and a slight nod.
In accordance with military
protocol, I accompanied President
Zuma to his car and stood to atten-
tion as the convoy drove off. As the
visit had been official, the media had
plenty of opportunity to photograph
the moment.
Outside the hospital, a steady

throng of people came to the bound-
ary walls and either shouted their
greetings or sang a birthday song.
Many of the well-wishers left posters
and flowers, and a small floral moun-
tain was building up at the eastern
entrance. The media had their cam-
eras trained on both entrances, and
one photographer had rented a flat
that overlooked the hospital park-
ing. You could see his telephoto lens
mounted in the window.
The hospital fills a block. The
media vans with their satellite
dishes had all been moved to one of
the adjacent streets and, given the
good weather, journalists were inter-
viewing those who came to visit.
Minibus taxis disgorged thousands
of well-wishers, and people on their
way to work paused for a minute
or two. Even the traffic police were
being tolerant of the “chaos”. The
mood was festive and respectful.
South Africans are known to dance
and sing in the midst of any major
event or crisis, and this day was no
exception as groups of people broke
into song and dance from time to

As the group sang Happy Birth-

he could not talk because of his
tracheostomy, but his lips had moved
during the song. The group then left
and the party continued in the side
rooms. The event had not created
any clinical developments and the
medical team heaved a sigh of relief.
The family’s party was superbly
catered for and every guest received
a vanilla cupcake on which “95” had
been written in chocolate icing. By
four in the afternoon, the guests were
all gone and the hospital staff were
clearing up the rooms, while outside
some items had to be removed from
the mountain of flowers and posters.
That evening, the panel noted
that, despite the celebrations, it had
not been a good day for Mandela.
For one thing, his blood pressure
had not been holding during the
renal dialysis.
For another, a diagnosis of sep-
sis from his lungs was now clearer.
If there was a positive sign, it was
that his respiratory system was per-
forming as well as on the previous
day.
Madiba watched the evening news
on TV and saw footage of the hospital
surrounded by an adulatory crowd.
At times, people were clustered 15
deep and there was constant singing
and toyi-toying. What he did not see
were the YouTube and social-media
posts that told of people’s happy
participation in this day of goodwill.
In celebration of the day – which
now encourages people to spend 67
minutes doing good deeds – trees
were planted, storm-damaged homes
were repaired, children at adoption
homes were entertained by young-
sters and nursery schools sang
Happy Birthday, Madiba.

In New York, the South African

the city’s former mayor, David N
Dinkins, recalled the Mandela tick-
er-tape parade in New York more
than 20 years previously. “As I say to
him every year at this time, ‘Happy
birthday, Madiba! When you are 109,
I will be 100, and we will meet and
toast each other!’ With God’s grace,
we are aiming to do just that!”Later,
(Dr Steve) Komati and I visited
Madiba and noted signs of rapid
deterioration. We summoned other
team members and concluded that
the sepsis was back. It was a turbu-
lent night.

Mandela’s spirit on menu at Brett’s restaurant

VUSI ADONIS
BRETT Ladds has led a much
storied life; a life during which he
has made many friends and rubbed
shoulders with some of the world’s
most famous personalities.
This, of course, is no surprise,
considering he was in the employ
of none other than the Presidential
Guest House in Pretoria during the
time of Nelson Mandela.
There is a wide smile on his face
at the very mention of Madiba and,
by his own admission, Ladds could
spend hours regaling me with stor-
ies from his time working for the
former president. One such tale is of
the first instance he found himself
alone in a room with Madiba. He
recollects: “I was casually walking
around the house under the impres-
sion that I was alone. I heard a voice
that asked ‘Who’s there?’
“I stopped dead in my tracks. I
half considered taking off my shoes
and sneaking back to where I came
from. I sheepishly walked into the
room and there he was, the most
famous man on the planet. I was
so nervous, but his charisma and
natural charm soon set me at ease.”
Ladds would go on to build a
special relationship with Mandela,
one he said would also shape his
interactions with his own employees
when he later made his foray into
business. The camaraderie is quite
evident when you see him working in
his kitchen. “We are family, we spend
12 to 14 hours of our day together so
it’s important that we enjoy being
around each other” he says.
Other than being a chef, Ladds
has added the title of “author” to
his repertoire. His book, entitled
Mandela – My Journey, is out and
he laments “I made so many friends
there. I learnt so much, the body-
guards, the staff and everybody.
That’s why I wrote my book, (as) you
never get to hear about the people
behind the scenes and how much
they gave up and contributed. I just
want to bring them to the forefront
and acknowledge them.”

Madiba’s steps feel special
THE memory of
Madiba must never
fade. His forgiving
soul and ability
to inspire “faith”,
“hope” and “love” in
a country long divided

are qualities to which
few can aspire.
On a personal level,
he has guided my

By attempting to emulate Madiba, I

Such remarkable empathy for all!

be won by a candidate backed by
the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party

Brexit minister starts EU talks amid infighting rumours
BRUSSELS: Britain’s Brexit minis-
ter vowed to “get down to work” as
he started a first full round of nego-
tiations yesterday. But a year after
Britons voted narrowly to quit the
EU, their government still seemed
at odds over what it wants.
“It’s time to get down to work and
make this a successful negotiation,”
veteran anti-EU campaigner David
Davis said as he was welcomed to
the European Commission by the
European Union’s chief negotiator
Michel Barnier for four days of
talks.
But back in London, British
media were rife with talk of infight-
ing that echoed the divisions Prime
Minister Theresa May’s Conserv-
ative party suffered during the EU
referendum. Foreign Secretary Boris
Johnson, attending a different meet-
ing in Brussels, passed up an oppor-
tunity to deny that was the case.
His backing was seen as vital for
the 52% to 48% percent victory of
the Leave camp in June last year.
Asked point blank yesterday if
the cabinet was “split on Brexit”,
Johnson simply said he was pleased
negotiations had begun and then
defended the offer May has made to
protect the rights of EU citizens in
Britain.

South Korea offers military talks with Pyongyang
SEOUL: South Korea has proposed
military talks with North Korea,
the first formal overture to Pyong-
yang by the government of Presi-
dent Moon Jae-in, to discuss ways
to avoid hostile acts near the heavily
militarised border.
There was no immediate response
by the North to the proposal.
Moon, who came to power in May,
has pledged to engage the North in
the Sudan Tribune on condition of
anonymity, said.
“So Pagak, as I am talking to
you, is on lockdown. Our forces are
collaborating with SPLA-IO (armed
opposition faction peace wing under
General Taban Deng Gai) in bat-
tling anti-peace elements that have
rejected the call for national dia-
logue”, the officer added.
On their way to Pagak, pro-gov-
ernment forces were reported to
have engaged in a number of battles
and seized a number of weapons and
arms from Machar’s fighters.
The president’s role is largely
ceremonial but as the custodian
of the constitution, the president
has played an important role in
times of uncertainty, such as when
a general election is inconclusive
and a decision has to be made about
which party is best placed to form a
government.

caste Dalit community, is facing

May faces questions inside her party
on whether she can exercise control.
That is worrying EU negotiators,
who stress that 20 months until
Brexit is very little time to negotiate
an orderly divorce.
Finance Minister Philip Ham-
mond, who like May campaigned
last year to keep Britain in the EU,
said on Sunday he believed most of
his cabinet colleagues now backed
the idea of having two years or more
of a transition period after Brexit in
dialogue as well as bring pressure
to impede its nuclear and missile
programmes.
The offer comes after the North
claimed to have conducted the first
test of an intercontinental ballistic
missile earlier this month, and said
it had mastered the technology to
mount a nuclear warhead on the
missile.

said on Sunday he could live with a

Britain would keep paying a share of
the EU budget and follow EU rules

The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs for the United Arab Emirates, Anwar
Gargash, speaks in London yesterday. 
UAE hacked
Qatari sites,
says US
Made to seem it backed ‘terror’
MEL FRYKBERG
ANA
U
S INTELLIGENCE has
accused the United
Arab Emirates (UAE)
of deliberately hack-
ing Qatari government,
social media and news websites
to make it appear that Doha was
actively supporting certain Islamic
“terrorist” groups.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE,
and Egypt, imposed a land and sea
blockade on Qatar in early June cit-
ing, among a host of reasons, the
small emirate’s support of what
they described as “terrorist” groups
including Gaza-based Hamas and
the Muslim Brotherhood – despite
the latter not being listed as a “ter-
rorist organisation”, including by
Washington.
Citing US intelligence officials,
the Washington Post reported on
Sunday that the UAE had arranged
for the websites to be hacked in late
May in order to post false quotes
linked to Qatar’s emir – a claim the
UAE rejects.
Qatar claimed its emir, Sheikh
Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, had
been falsely quoted as praising
Hamas and stating that Iran was an
“Islamic power”, the Post reported.
In June, Doha further asserted
that it had evidence that the recent
hacking of its state-run news agency
and government social media
accounts was linked to the countries
that had recently cut ties with it.
“Qatar has evidence that certain
iPhones originating from countries
laying siege to Qatar were used in
the hack,” Ali Bin Fetais Al Marri,
Qatar’s attorney-general, said.
The UAE’s minister of state for
foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash,
said yesterday that the UAE was not
responsible for the alleged hack of
Qatari websites which helped spark
the recent diplomatic rift with Doha.
He said the Post’s story was false.
Gargash also said the UAE would
not escalate its boycott by asking
companies to choose between doing
business with it or with Qatar.
However, despite the UAE’s rejec-
tion of the allegations, US intelli-
Trump jr’s Russia meet defended
WASHINGTON: A senior member
of US President Donald Trump’s
personal legal team said on Sunday
that there was nothing improper in
the meeting that Donald Trump jr,
the president’s eldest son, had with
a Russian lawyer promising dirt on
Hillary Clinton.
“Well, I wonder why the Secret
Service, if this was nefarious, why
the Secret Service allowed these
people in,” Jay Sekulow, a lawyer
for the president, said on ABC’s This
Week With George Stephanopoulos.
“The president had Secret Service
protection at that point, and that
raised a question with me.”
It’s highly unlikely that the
Secret Service, which is charged
with protecting the president, his
aides and his family from physical
harm, would have any influence over
who the president or his children
chose to meet during a presidential
campaign.
A Secret Service spokesperson
cast doubt on Sekulow’s claims.
“Donald Trump jr was not under
Secret Service protection in June
2016,” said Cathy Milhoan, the dir-
ector of communications for the
protective agency.
The president, meanwhile, took
to Twitter, where he portrayed the
Russia investigations as a media

gence officials said newly analysed
information showed that senior UAE
government officials discussed the
planned hacks on May 23, the day
before they occurred.
The American FBI has been work-
ing with Qatar to probe the hacking
scandal and it remains unclear if
the UAE hacked the websites itself
or paid for the hacking to be carried
out by a third party.
Last Thursday, US Secretary of
State Rex Tillerson returned from
a shuttle diplomacy trip to the Gulf
region in an effort to resolve the
standoff in the Gulf but other than
a bilateral agreement between Qatar
and the US to fight “terrorism” his
efforts yielded little.
Despite the stalemate, proof of a
deliberate smear campaign against
Qatar is a significant development
and may affect the continuing crisis.
Washington has yet to respond
officially to the new revelation.
This is not the first alleged inci-
dent of hacking involving Dubai.
In early June, hacking of the
e-malil account belonging to UAE’s
ambassador to the US, Yousef Al
Otaiba, by a group called Global-
Leaks showed a growing relation-
ship between the UAE and a pro-Is-
rael, neo-conservative think tank
called the Foundation for Defence
of Democracies.
Despite the UAE and Israel hav-
ing no diplomatic relations, the two
countries have worked together
against their common adversary
Iran.
Israel also considers Hamas and
the Muslim Brotherhood “terrorist”
organisations.
Critics have argued that the
undemocratic Gulf monarchies are
afraid of losing their thrones should
the Arab street protests rise through
Islamist organisations as happened
during the Arab spring.
The Arab spring which erupted
in Tunisia in 2010 and 2011 resulted
in the country holding its first-ever
free election.

his Democratic rival.
“Hillary Clinton can illegally get
the questions to the Debate & delete
33 000 e-mails but my son Don is
being scorned by the Fake News
Media?” Trump tweeted Sunday
morning.
The president’s tweets, however,
did not address his son’s missteps
regarding the Russia meeting, which
have only served to feed suspicions.
Initially, Trump jr said the meet-
ing focused on Russia’s moves to
halt adoptions by American families,
but he changed his story after new
details emerged.
The e-mails released last week
show that Trump jr believed he was
meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya,
a Russian lawyer with possible ties
to the Kremlin, who would provide
damaging information about Clin-
ton as part of a Russian broader
effort to assist his father’s presiden-
tial campaign.
He was joined at the meeting by
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law;
Paul Manafort, then a top campaign
aide; and Rinat Akhmetshin, a lob-
byist and possible intelligence agent
in the former Soviet Union.
Trump jr has said that nothing
came of the discussion. – Washing-

here was a time in colonial and

variety of bigoted measures like

African men in particular would be

thing they finally achieved in 1976, stalled
three times previously by the refusal of the
authorities to grant Mekoa a visa. Their
track Highland Drifter stayed on the Zim-
babwe charts for 18 weeks, but was banned
in South Africa.
Both, in their own musical arenas, nur-
tured black pride and defiance. The Min-
isters’ jazz was the music of a non-tribal
urban, black working class whose very
existence apartheid denied. In America – it
was Bicentennial year – they were invited
to perform on the deck of a South African
warship. It was 1976; they refused. On their
return, they were all hauled in for ques-
tioning by the police’s special branch, and
remained under intermittent observation.
The Cannibals morphed into what
became one of South Africa’s greatest
bands, Stimela, joined by additional play-
ers. In both incarnations they reflected
community resistance and hope. They
recorded in English and the Malawian
language Chichewa at a time when the
apartheid regime, the recording indus-
try, and the South African Broadcasting
Corporation were insisting on a policy of
“retribalisation” and black music sung in
one African language only.
The zenith of their defiance, however,
betes. They strongly urged member coun-
tries to decriminalise addiction.
The health ministers of the Southern
African Development Community also
decided to decriminalise addiction, so I
fail to see why our country is dragging its
heels on this.
Portugal led the way in 2001, much to
the surprise of other EU states, when it
decriminalised addiction because of its
huge heroin addiction problem. They had
about 100 000 known heroin addicts. Por-
tugal decided to send addicts, via the law,
into rehab and put them on opioid replace-
ment therapy. With this approach, Portugal
reduced the number of addicts on heroin
by 50% in a matter of 10 years.
Canada adopted the policy of offering
heroin users clean needles to contain the
spread of hepatitis B and C, and HIV. At the

came with the 1986 album Look, Listen
and Decide, whose track Whispers in the
Deep/ Phinda Mzala became an anthem of
resistance wherever it was played.
And the lines between Phiri’s popular
music and Mekoa’s jazz were always highly
permeable. When jazz festivals happened –
increasingly less often after 1976 and into
the repressive 1980s – audiences appreci-
ated and danced to both. Jazzmen regularly

While he never stopped playing, Mekoa
rapidly transitioned into a respected jazz

earlier tried to enter formal music educa-

a man of colour. Instead, he trained as an
optician. But in the mid 1980s he won a Ful-

Both musicians were awarded the

contrast emerged at the time of their

of Mekoa’s death within hours of the event,
it took most of the media days to catch
up, tailing after tributes from government

The death of Phiri hit the headlines
within hours of his death. The permeable,
flexible terrain between genres that the
careers of Phiri and Mekoa negotiated, is
being replaced by the rigidities of market-
ing categories and media information slots.
As Phiri observed in May, “You’re going

Young musicians nowadays… become a

Help to
change
the world
around you
N
ELSON Mandela International
Day is today and people every-
where can celebrate his birth-
day by acting on the principle that
each person has the power to change
the world.
Now is the time for us, as a nation
and as individuals, to ask how will we
be ethical leaders in our homes, our
communities and work places, and as
citizens of this country.
Mandela Day serves as a global
call to action: for people to “recognise
their individual power to make an
imprint and help change the world
around them for the better”, according
to the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
Mandela led with conscience and
courage, and embodied the values of
justice, equality and compassion; uni-
versal values that all South Africans
need to reclaim as we ask ourselves
today: “What am I doing to change the
world for the better?”
And he demonstrated the power of
collective action.
Celebrating Mandela Day is about
taking at least 67 minutes – one minute
for every year of Mandela’s public
service – and making a small gesture
of solidarity with humanity and a
step towards a global movement for
good. Focus on what you are passion-
ate about and where you know your
actions will have a lasting impact,
and do something positive for your
community.
You will be joining thousands of
people, communities, and non-profit
organisations to honour the lifetime
that Mandela spent fighting for social
justice, equality and democracy, and
also heeding his repeated call to help
change the world for the better.
Because of his unique insights
and approaches, Mandela left a last-
ing impact on the world. What set
him apart as a leader? What gave him
the ability to have a transformational
impact upon those around him?
Quite simply, his emotional intel-
ligence enabled him to motivate
others to transcend their own needs
and interests for a common goal. He
believed that each of us, by joining
together to create a ripple of positive
actions, could make strides towards
positive social transformation.
Transformational leaders are
sometimes called quiet leaders. They
are the ones who lead by example.
Mandela used rapport and relation-
ship-building, inspiration and encour-
agement, empathy and responsiveness
to engage his fellow South Africans
and followers everywhere.
He was known for his enormous
courage, confidence and the willing-
ness to make sacrifices for the greater
good.
Leadership expert James Burns
defined transformational leaders as
those who sought to change existing
thoughts, techniques and goals to
achieve better results for the benefit
of all people.
Burns also described transforma-
tional leaders as those who focused on
the essential needs of their followers.
Transformational leaders are
known for their integrity, which
brings us to a discussion of ethics.
Ethical leadership requires the lead-
ers to take into account their constitu-
ents and stakeholders and the context
of the situation.
Their purpose, vision, and values
are for the benefit of the stakeholders.
Madiba’s vision was to spread social
justice and freedom for all.
This special day gives each one
of us a chance to become part of a
continuous global movement for good.
Importantly, leaders view their
fellow citizens not as followers but
as people striving towards the same
common purpose. They focus on the
greater good of their organisation,
and not on ego.
Ethical leaders find and develop
the best people because they see this
as a moral imperative and a key ele-
ment in creating more value around
them. Ethical leaders take the rights
of others seriously.
As we prepare to commemorate
the legacy of a great man, let us look
at our own values and principles, and
how these are reflected in our lives.
Let us ask ourselves what we want
to accomplish through our own leader-
ship and think about what we want
people to say about our leadership
when we are gone.
In the words of Madiba, “When a
man has done what he considers to be
his duty to his people and his country,
he can rest in peace. I believe I have
made that effort and that is, therefore,
why I will sleep for the eternity.”
By giving a little of your time each
day to making a change that’s close to
your heart, or by giving a little of your
time to make a difference to the life of
someone else, you can start changing
the world around you.
A demon refusing
to be exorcised
W
E are left with a task
that requires us to navi-
gate “between the Scylla
of thinking that race
is mere illusion, mere
ideology on the one hand, and the Cha-
rybdis of thinking that race is some-
thing objective and fixed.” – H Winant.
In South Africa there is still a dis-
quieting current of active perpetual
racism – there are daily reports of it
(racism).
Sadly, while we won the fight to
end legal apartheid, racism’s vestiges
remain. As a black South African, I am
baffled by the sometimes inexplicable
relations between whites and blacks. I
have seen social cohesion between white
South Africans and black Africans. One
example is the scene of an accident.
I am not sure how many times I have
come across motor accidents involving
black people. More often than not, the
first people on the scene are white
people, offering whatever help they
can. I have seen white people stopping
in areas known to be notoriously dan-
gerous, helping black victims of an
accident. I have seen white people risk-
ing their lives jumping into fathomless
dams or lakes to retrieve the bodies of
their black compatriots.
Indeed, South Africans are full of
love, but they are not aware of it. If they
decide to come together, they do so in a
stupendously spectacular way. However,
if they decide to stay apart, they do so in
a disappointingly bizarre way.
The question then is, what is the
problem? Why is racism still with us?
Gwede Mantashe, ANC secretary-gen-
eral, said shortly after the University of
Orange Free State Reitz video incident
that the problem with racism is that it
can either be a manifestation of preju-
dice or a stereotype.
When the latter it is is very diffi-
cult to deal with because it is in the
sub-conscious mind as it is a reflection
of upbringing, values.
The recent resurgence of racism,
as exemplified by Penny Sparrow, who
compared black people to monkeys, and
the naked, diabolical racial abuse being
perpetrated by some white farmers is a
blot on the legacy of late president, Nel-
son Mandela, who risked the wrath of
his own people in his quest to promote
racial tolerance.

Ridding our country
of racism that
manifests itself in
various forms daily
is an ongoing duty
of every citizen to
heal SA’s wounds
to paint all white people with the same
brush on this matter.
My son has a white friend who comes
for sleep-overs in my house. I hardly see
a white child, but a child. Same with
my son.
I neither think of my child being
racially abused, nor his safety, when
his white friend’s parents have taken
him for a visit. This is the kind of rela-
tionship that needs to be encouraged
and amplified among racial groups,
especially the youth.
Commenting on racial discourse in
the country, Barney Pityanaaccused all
sections of the populace of failing to talk
intelligently about race with all racial
groups seeing events from very narrow
perspectives – blacks from a historical
perspective, whites from a position of
privilege derived from exclusionary
practices.
Perhaps it is time in South Africa
that a forum is created to deal deci-
sively with racism once and for all.
Many South Africans, especially black
South Africans, deluded themselves into
believing that all whites had graciously
bought into Mandela’s magnanimous
gesture of promoting reconciliation
among different races.
However, the resurgence of racism
indicates that a lot still needs to be
done to exorcise the deep seated racial
prejudices which some white people
were religiously and systematically
socialised into. It is rather sad to hear
that the racial prejudices are expressed
Today, the anniversary of his birth-
day, offers an opportunity to revisit
Madiba’s values and qualities; a time to
assess how we as a society have deviated
from these and retrace our steps to what
the founding father of democratic South
Africa stood for.
We need to make this reflection, espe-
cially given the leadership challenges
we face as a country. There are three
qualities in his life I believe we should
focus on: his integrity, compassion and
ability to unite people.
Madiba was a man on integrity –
defined as “the adherence to moral and
ethical principles; the soundness of
moral character”.
Political history tells us that there
was a time during Mandela’s incar-
ceration when the apartheid govern-
ment offered him conditional freedom.
Racism Stops With Me.
by young white people, whom one would
not expect to do so given the critical
milestones we have achieved as a nation.
Who is the culprit? Is it the young
white people, or their parents who
unashamedly inculcate racism during
this day and age? Recently former
chairperson of the African Union,
Nkosazana Zuma Dlamini, decried the
kind of history taught to black children.
Andre Slabbert in his piece “Cross-Cul-
tural Racism in South Africa – Dead or
Alive?” enumerates a set of interven-
tionist procedures that could be adopted
to help address racism.
• Racism is largely learned behav-
iour. If behaviour is learned, it can be
unlearned. It is imperative that desired
attitudes and behaviours be acquired
as early as possible to counteract a
negative perceptual bias.
• To reverse mind-sets and to create
a perceptual shift the media should play
an active role.
• Cultural riches and similarities
should be emphasised on a wide front.
• Scholars and students should
engage, on a regular basis, in inter-
action with students from different
racial groups. Enforced interactions
with “others” will lead to greater know-
ledge, universally accepted as a means
to counter stereotypes.
• Joint projects should be instituted
Although he would personally have
benefited, Mandela responded by say-
ing he could not and was not prepared
to “sell the birthright of the people to
be free”.
Here was a man imprisoned but who
refused to succumb to a kind of freedom
that would benefit him but exclude his
people.
South Africa today needs men and
women in political office who will
respond like Madiba and say: I cannot
sell my birthright nor am I prepared to
sell the birthright of my people.
Those who have unduly enriched
themselves from what are public resour-
ces are guilty of betraying Mandela’s
legacy.
The second value Madiba espoused
was compassion; the quality of under-
standing the suffering of others and
among groups roughly equivalent in
social, economic, or task-related status;
contact should be informal and it should
be goal-orientated.
• On a more fundamentalist level,
exchange schemes between schools
could be considered – the premise being
that increased knowledge will defuse
perceptual stereotypes.
• The media play a cardinal role in
formulating public and private opin-
ion. To counteract preconceived racial
perceptions, all race-based references
should be omitted.
• All curricula in primary, secondary,
and tertiary educational institutions
should include compulsory components
focusing on the elimination of racial
stereotypes. Increased knowledge is a
definitive antidote for racism.
It bears repeating that it would be
disingenuous to paint all white people
with the same brush on racism. Barney
Pityana is correct when he asserts that
the task of ridding our country of all
forms of racism has to be an ongoing
duty. We are not free to stop trying.
Despite its fractures and faults, or per-
haps because of them, South Africa is
still a place of warmth, connection and
deep humanity.
• Dr Vusi Shongwe works in the
Kwa-ZuluNatal office of the Premier. The
article is written in his personal capacity
wanting to do something to alleviate
that suffering.
True compassion is a characteristic
that converts knowledge to wisdom and
good leaders use compassion to see the
needs of those they lead and to deter-
mine the course of action that would be
of greatest benefit to all those involved.
Compassion led Madiba to lead inside
prison and led him to tackle the chal-
lenges that faced South Africa when he
was released.
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu
described Madiba as a unifier. Incar-
cerated for close to 27 years, Mandela
emerged without bitterness. He was an
epitomé of forgiveness, compassion and
reconciliation and worked hard to unify
people.
The faction-ridden ANC can take a
leaf from his life.

Madiba still

T

four years after his passing, Nelson
Mandela remains a gift to the nation
and the world that keeps on giving.
For who else could attract some of human-
ity’s most respected leaders to democratic
South Africa’s Mother City to continue his Long
Walk to Freedom from the spot where he made
his triumphant reappearance in public after 27
years in apartheid jails.
These leaders are grouped in an organisa-
tion Madiba formed 10 years ago of eminent
persons called The Elders, tasked with helping
to resolve conflicts around the world.
Made up of former heads of state, peace
activists, and human rights advocates, current
Elders include Kofi Annan, Ban-ki Moon, Des-
mond Tutu, Graça Machel, Jimmy Carter, Hina
Jilani, Mary Robinson, and Ernesto Zedillo
among others. See http://www.theelders.org/

As we reported yesterday, Mandela’s widow
Graça Machel will lead them in a highly sym-
bolic and historic march to a gathering in cen-
tral Cape Town today on International Mandela
Day.
It is to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The
Elders, and to launch the group’s new global
project, “Walk Together”, a continuation of
Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom, said Machel.
At around noon The Elders, alongside lead-
ers from District Six forcibly removed from
their homes by apartheid, and 1 000 local
residents, will walk from the Grand Parade out-
side the Cape Town City Hall, where Mandela
made his celebrated Freedom speech in 1990,
to a gathering at the Cape Town International
The event will feature some of the world’s
most notable political and community leaders,
discussing the world’s ongoing humanitarian
issues, and celebrating The Elders’ work to date.
He was from among us, from our flesh and
blood, and gave the world exceptional leader-
ship. It is a paradox that post-Madiba we should
be sitting with some leaders who are considered
rather embarrassing.

RESH from a resoundingly successful run
at Grahamstown, State Fracture is also
enjoying a short run at the Theatre on the
Square. Written by Mike van Graan, the
satirical comedy is directed by Rob van Vuuren
and produced by Siv Ngesi.
We tried to get Van Graan and actor Daniel Mpilo
Richards to offer more insight into the production,
which critics are raving about.
Mpilo Richards, who won a Naledi award for best
breakthrough artist/ newcomer for Pay Back the
Curry, is at the helm of this one-hander.
“I play multiple characters – 23 to be exact,” he
said.
And, apparently, that was all he was willing to say.
When asked about the demands placed on him as
an actor, Mpilo Richards said: “State Fracture is very
demanding. It is far more physically demanding
than Pay Back The Curry. I move more, dance and
sing, and really work up a sweat.”
And he is also a fan of Van Graan’s writing.
“Mike’s writing is truly exceptional – world-class.
His writing speaks for itself.
“What is truly special for me is knowing that Pay
Back The Curry and State Fracture were written for
me. Mike’s writing is incredibly meaty and it is an
actor’s dream to perform.”
Any attempts to find out more about the
production and what audiences will enjoy about it
proved futile.
As such, I’m relying on Cue Media’s quote: “The
sequel to Pay Back the Curry, (State Fracture) is a
hard-hitting and incredibly well-performed satirical
comedy, sparing nobody from Zupta to Zille. You’ll
be glued to the edge of your seat. There’s so much

talent here – superb acting and a phenomenal

Reflecting on the set and costumes, Mpilo
Richards said: “As with Pay Back The
Curry, the only thing on stage is a
black box, a guitar and a guitar stand.
I wear a simple costume of a black
top and black pants. To entice the
readers, I suppose I should say a

Oscar-winning actor Martin Landau dies

OSCAR-WINNING actor Martin Landau,

Northwest, Crimes and Misdemeanours and
Ed Wood, has died. He was 89.
He died on July 15, said his publicist.
He had been treated at the University of
California Los Angeles where he experienced
complications, reports variety.com.
The veteran of the Actors Studio, for which he
was West Coast co-artistic director, had many ups
and downs in his career.
The five times Emmy-nominated actor mostly

notably as Rollin Hand, a master of disguise on
Mission: Impossible. He also starred in
the sci-fi series Space:1999, in which he
co-starred with his wife, Barbara Bain.
In the late 1980s, Francis Ford Coppola cast him
in Tucker: The Man and His Dream, which brought
Landau the first of his three Oscar supporting actor
nominations.
Then he played a successful Jewish

strong cast of 30 artists that unleashes a
blow-by-blow account of the events that led
to the loss of 44 lives at the hands of police
and miners. Until August 12.
Momentum Theatre:
Silent Scars is an emotive, hard-hitting work
that embodies and tackles the disintegration
of the inter-generational legacies that
seek redemption. The story is set in an
expressive, impoverished and imaginary
location in South Africa. The authenticity
of the production lies at the heart of the
storytelling, physical metaphors, mesmeric
songs and symbols to communicate what
many may consider to be shrapnel from the
past. From Wednesday until August 5.

Pieter Toerien Theatre:
The Mystery of Irma Vep: In this side-
splitting comedy, all the residents of the
Mandacrest estate travel from the moors
of England to the tombs of Egypt and back
again, encountering along their way a host
of vampires, werewolves, mummies and
all manner of things that go bump in the
night. With Gothic plot turns thrown out
like thumbtacks on the road and a stage
packed full of outrageous sets and costumes,
Irma Vep is a visual feast that will have you
in stitches right up until the final twist. Even
more bizarre than the cast of characters in
this deliciously retro whodunit is the fact
that all of these lunatics, beasts, ghouls and
gentlefolk are played by only two actors! The
lightning-witted Jonathan Roxmouth and
the inimitable Weslee Swain Lauder are to be
seen to be believed in what is often referred
to as a quick-change act. Until July 30.

Management star, who revealed
in 2015 that he was HIV-positive,
has been following the health plan
for the past two weeks as part of a
fitness drive he’s on with his new
girlfriend, Julia Stambler.
Sources said the actor has been
waking up early to go swimming

China’s GDP boosts rise​
Kabelo Khumalo
THE RAND yesterday hit a two-
week high against the dollar,
supported by better than ex-
pected second quarter gross do-
mestic product (GDP) numbers
in China.
The local unit breached
the R13 psychological barrier
against the dollar as the green-
back continued to nurse losses
after last week’s underwhelm-
ing inflation and retail sales
data from the US.
The rand strengthened
more than 1 percent to R12.9238
against the dollar at 5pm from
Friday’s R13.03, while it firmed
to R16.84 against the pound and
rose to R14.81 against the euro.
The rand’s recent bullish
run marks a sharp turnaround
for the unit, which last week hit
a high of R13.61 to the dollar
as it struggled to shrug off the
hangover from the ANC’s policy
conference and the suggested
nationalisation of the Reserve
Bank. But on Wednesday, the
rand exhibited signs of life
after the US Federal Reserve
adopted a dovish tone to its
monetary policy.
It strengthened further on
Friday as US inflation numbers
fell outside the Fed’s target
ranges and retail sales fell for
a second consecutive month in
June.
Allet Opperman, an analyst
at TreasuryOne, said momen-
tum was on the rand’s side fol-
lowing international develop-
ments and local moves to
stabilise the ailing state-owned
enterprises.
Opperman noted that the
rand was also boosted by the
news that Dudu Myeni would
not serve another term as the
chair of the beleaguered SA
Airways.
“The weakness of the dollar
has helped risky currencies in
the short term as the bad infla-
tion number will cause some
jitters within the Fed, as a hike
in December is becoming less
likely,” Opperman said.
“News out of the Fed will be
watched closely as they are the
Spotlight on Uber after clashes with SA metered-taxi industry​
ANA
COMPETITION between the
traditional metered-taxi indus-
try and ride-hailing app Uber
will come under scrutiny when
the Competition Commission
begins a market inquiry into
the public passenger transport
sector. The market inquiry
comes after the commission
received numerous complaints
relating to public transport in
the country.
The metered taxi indus-
try has been at loggerheads
with Uber drivers since the
taxi-hailing app was launched
in South Africa. Uber is ac-
cused of “stealing business”
and operating illegally.
Yesterday, the commission

News that China, the world’s
second largest economy and a
key driver for emerging mar-
kets’ growth, had over-per-
formed boosted sentiment in
international markets on global
growth prospects during the
second quarter.
China also reinforced recov-
eries for commodity exporters.
The National Bureau of Statis-
tics of China said the Chinese
economy grew at 6.9 percent
year-on-year in the second
quarter, beating the target of
6.5 percent target set by the
government.
In May, Moody’s downgraded
China’s credit rating for the
first time in nearly three dec-
ades on concerns over its debt.
Last month, the World Bank
forecast that global economic
growth will strengthen to 2.7
percent in 2017 as a pickup
in manufacturing and trade,
rising market confidence and
stabilising commodity prices
allow growth to resume in the
commodity-exporting emerging
market and developing econ-
omies.
The bank further said
growth in emerging markets
and developing economies
would pick up to 4.1 percent this
year from 3.5 percent in 2016.
Tiffany Pollock, an analyst
at Merchant West, said the rand
had regained its appeal.
“Technically, the rand has
been getting support from

ment gazette.
The scope of the inquiry
includes price setting mechan-
isms, price regulation, trans-
port planning, allocation of
subsidies, route allocation, and
licensing requirements among
other things. In essence, the
commission seeks to under-
stand the market dynamics
across the entire value chain.
It said a market inquiry was
a general investigation into the
state, nature and form of com-
petition in a market, rather
than a narrow investigation
of specific conduct by any par-
ticular firm.

China’s economy in healthy expansion​
Elias Glenn
and Kevin Yao
Beijing
CHINA’S economy expanded
faster than expected in the
second quarter, setting the
country on course to com-
fortably meet its 2017 growth
target and giving policymakers
room to tackle big economic
challenges ahead of key leader-
ship changes later this year.
The boost to growth was in
part driven by firmer exports
and production, in particular
steel, which could heighten
trade tensions as the US and
China begin economic talks
this week. US President Don-
ald Trump has made the US
trade deficit with China a top
agenda item in bilateral talks
and has also flagged the steel
trade as a point of contention.
China’s gross domestic
product rose 6.9 percent in
the second quarter from a
year earlier, the same rate as
the first quarter, the National
Bureau of Statistics said yes-
terday. That was higher than
analysts’ expectations of a
6.8 percent expansion.
Economic data from the
second quarter has prompted
a number of analysts to up-
grade their gross domestic
momentum indicators which
showed it was straying into
oversold territory last week,
while bets on a modest Fed-
eral Reserve rate hike path
have helped to retain its yield
appeal,” Pollock said.

ing minibus taxis, localised
and metered taxis, app-based
taxi services, Metrorail, and
the Gautrain.
The guidelines for partici-
pating in the inquiry seek to
provide for a fair opportunity

all stakeholders.

product (GDP) forecasts for
China for 2017, although
some moderation in growth
is expected later this year as
policymakers’ efforts to rein
in property and debt risks
weigh on activity.
“In general, we expect GDP
growth to remain robust in
the second half, but slower
than the first half, due to
the high base,” Citi econo-
mists said in a research note.
“Looking ahead, uncertainty
remains on investment and
trade.” The bank has raised its
2017 annual GDP projection to
6.8 percent year-on-year from
6.6 percent previously.
The robust numbers kept
world shares near a record
high and briefly helped
China’s major stock indexes
recoup earlier losses.
The second quarter num-
bers put the economy on a
strong footing to meet China’s
growth target of around
6.5 percent in 2017, which
would give policymakers
room to defuse financial risks.
While growth in the
high-flying property sector
has cooled this year, a re-
bound in exports after several
years of decline has helped
prevent any broader slow-
down in China’s economy.
The positive Chinese data
also helped resources stocks on
the local bourse inch higher.

Meanwhile, Uber South Af-
rica said yesterday that it had
requested an urgent meeting
with the ministers of police
and transport to address the
ongoing war between its part-
ner drivers and the traditional
metered taxi industry, espe-
cially in Gauteng.

Retail spending and factory
output were also bright spots
in the first half. Retail sales
growth picked up to 10.8 per-
cent in the second quarter
from 10 percent in the first
quarter, a calculation based on
official data showed. Factory
output also picked up in the
second quarter, though the
6.9 percent growth for the
first half was only a slight
pick up from recent quarters.

14.82%
on the JSE​
Dineo Faku
LONMIN, the world’s third
largest platinum producer ral-
lied on the JSE yesterday to
strengthen more than 10 per-
cent in early trade at R12.36 a
share on the news of improved
mining production in the third
quarter to June, which resulted
in it cutting costs.
The stock firmed as the
market also warmed up to the
10.8 percent increase of plat-
inum ounce sales on the prior
year, the higher net cash levels,
and the decision by the com-
pany to maintain its production
guidance for the full year.
The shares closed 14.82 per-
cent higher at R12.86 on the JSE
yesterday.
The up-tick came despite the
3 percent decline in the aver-
age rand platinum group met-
als (PGM) on the prior year to
R11 506 an ounce, Lonmin chief
executive Ben Magara said.
“We had a pleasing oper-
ational performance all round
and continue with our decisive
work and aim to be at least
cash neutral, even at current
low PGM prices and a strong
rand,” Magara said.
“We continue to find levers
to pull, in this “lower prices
for longer” environment and to
make the improvement of our
performance a priority. I am
particularly pleased that our
net cash has improved.”
Lonmin also recorded a
4.7 percent drop in unit costs
quarter-on-quarter to R11 278
an ounce while maintaining
its full-year sales guidance of
650 000 ounces to 680 000 ounces.
Net cash during the period
also improved to $86 million,
up from $75m recorded during
the end of the second quarter.
Lonmin, which was the
scene of the Marikana mas-
sacre in mid-August 2012, con-
tinued to be rocked by commun-
ity unrest in May, when youth
of the area demanded jobs.
Relations
Magara said the company was
working with community lead-
ers to rebuild relations. He also
said Lonmin had help from
labour and other key stake-
holders to assist to create a
stable operating environment.
“Contractors have also been
engaged, where possible, to
make opportunities for job cre-
ation for community members.
“Generally the community
relations around the operations
are improving,” he said.
Rene Hochreiter, a mining
analyst, Noah Capital Markets,
said yesterday that the results
were testament that Lonmin
was able to manage its costs
and respond well to to the low
platinum price environment.
“Most people have said that
Lonmin is going to be the first
casualty to succumb to the low
platinum price – these results
have proved them wrong,” said
Hochreiter.
“Up to now it did not seem
possible that South African pro-
ducers can reduce their input
costs, and Lonmin has shown
that it can cut its costs.”
Hochreiter also said that
Lonmin’s management changes
at 4B shaft helped improve the
company’s fortunes.
He said he remained opti-
mistic that Lonmin would meet
its annual production guidance.
Lonmin bought the remain-
ing 7.5 percent stake in the Pan-
dora platinum operation from
Northam Platinum.
Full ownership of Pandora
would allow Lonmin to extend
the mining at Saffy shaft fur-
ther on strike east and west of
the shaft, and it also allowed it
to defer more than R2.6 billion
of allocated capital expenditure
required for the further deep-
ening of Saffy shaft, of which
R1.6bn would be over the next
four years.

zz QUOTE OF THE DAY

Opinion&Analysis Get big quietly, so you don’t tip off potential competitors. –
Chris Dixon, Andreessen Horowitz investor.

Why decisions must be driven by a fact-based world view​

pared statisticians.
This has catapulted them to the high

INSIDE table of society – captured so succinctly

by the World War II President of the US,

STATISTICS​​ Harry S Truman, and Deputy President

Ramaphosa of South Africa – where the
difference between the whorehouse and
beerhall debates on the one hand are not
easily discernible from the world of debates
Dr Pali Lehohla in politics.
This is where they, the statisticians,

H
arry S Truman, former presi-
dent of the US, who served
as the commander-in-chief of
the US military during the
final months of World War
II, said this about his career choices: “My
choice early in life was either to be a piano
player in a whorehouse or a politician.
And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any
difference.”
South African’s Deputy President Cyril
Ramaphosa says, at times parliamentary
debates bear no difference from those of
a beerhall. What then could be the role of
statistics in this rather murky world of
politics that have the same difference as a
whorehouse or a beerhall?
The profession and life of statisti-
cians is facing ever increasing leadership
demands, including career threats, as the
paradigm for evidence-based decision mak-
ing becomes apparent and places decision
support systems and decisions – that is
statistics and politics – at the apex of the
being of society.
Statisticians, therefore, no longer have
the comfort and luxury of working in iso-
lated and rarefied spaces from whence they
monopolise whatever technology there is
and throw their toil over the wall for policy
to catch and for them, the policy makers,
to try and make sense of the complex Pan-
dora’s box of statistics. Technology has
diffused the clear cut era of a Chinese wall
between statistics and policy and the end
of this classical manifestation of a wall
is nigh.
Through technological advances, the
nexus of numbers and space have now been
solved and become a tool for facilitating
collaboration across society.
A three-dimensional world is now in the
hands of everyone. But more importantly
a four-dimensional reality is within reach
of society as time can now be factored on
the fly into the material world.
The science of where – location – which
is the heart beat of politics, has caught the
quiet, and quite unprepared, and underpre-
have to first make sense of not how society
should be organised, but the reality of how
society has decided to organise itself – the
subject of human endeavour.
Statisticians no longer have
the comfort and luxury of
working in isolated, rarefied
spaces from whence they
monopolise whatever
technology there is.​
This is in order for statisticians to shed
light on how sustainable development goals
can be achieved by providing decision sup-
port platforms of description, analysis,
diagnostics, prediction, prescription and
adaptation to the disciplines of decision
making and decision makers.
These crucial stages of statistical meas-
urement can no longer be undertaken in
rarefied environments as the emerging
and corporeal needs of the material world
imply continuous engagement among
decision support systems-statistics – and
decision making – politics.
The question then is do statisticians
appreciate and understand the policy
imperatives? Are they alive to the attendant
risks which in the main are political and
partisan or perceived as such when their
inevitable task has to relate and actively
engage the discipline of decision support
systems to that of decisions?
Are politicians, policy practitioners and
society alive to the dilemma that statisti-
cians and conveyors of decision support
systems carry and confront in the emergent
and new normal?
Helmut Spinner, addressing the statis-
ticians of the Economic Commission for
Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa. The writer says Ramaphosa at times argues that Parliamentary debates bear no difference from
those in a beerhall. 
Europe in 1998, focused on this dilemma. He
made some profound observations about
the purveyors of information and the risk
profile of each in the information and deci-
sion making market place.
In this regard he provided a succinct
narrative of interpretation of statistics
and decisions. He profiled the responsibil-
ities and risk behaviours of statisticians,
scientists and politicians in the production,
understanding and application of evidence.
He then poses the question of what world
in relation to the production and use of
evidence should we construct.
He comes to the conclusion that the
information society is a world where infor-
mation is power and it is the one we are
moving into and it is the one where offi-
cial statistics as an information system
constitutes the corner stone of evidence
and trust.
However, he goes on to point out the pre-
conditions for existence of such a society
and argues that such a world is where free-
doms of citizens are guaranteed, literacy
and competency levels for choice are pro-
gressively enabled and assured and infor-
mation is available to everyone, available
everywhere and available simultaneously.
Like the late Hans Rosling, Spinner is
acutely aware that the precondition of
such a world where information is power
is where there is a clear distinction and
choice of actions.

The decisions should be driven by a
fact-based world view. Innovation is crucial
as the famous physicist, Geoffrey West,
argues quite correctly that unbounded sys-
tems can only survive through continuous
innovation but whose speed is accelerating
in time, if the system is to avoid collapse.
Statistics is about evidence, politics is
about decisions. A plan formalises the
relationship between the disciplines of
evidence and decisions. Technology is the
matrimonial platform where the vows
about consummation of conjugal obliga-
tions of evidence and decisions are facili-
tated, taken and performed.
I would assert therefore that the new
and emergent task of statisticians in the

sphere of evidence-based decision-making
as one from skiing on the broad, smooth
and safe surface of the saw to one where
the statistician is skiing on the serrated
side of the saw.
Thus making statistics a career car-
ries immense risks. Furthermore I would
asserts that a successful interface of statis-
tical evidence and political decisions comes
about through maturity in leadership in an
accountable and democratic state.
New terminology in the world of tech-
nology and concomitant abundance of data
imbue concepts such as big data, citizen
science, alternative facts and fake news.
Patrick Moynihan, the US senator,
warned us that you are entitled to your
own opinions, but not your own facts.
Statistics is a conduit of trust and sta-
tistical facts are crucial in driving sound
politics as they constitute a crucial and
essential disinfectant of the syndrome of
the “whorehouse and beerhall-like politics
and their political management”.

late Jabu Mabuza, an exceptional individ-
ual whom I define as a family friend whose
friendship I cherish, for the honorary doc-
torate bestowed on him by the University
of Witwatersrand last week, “in recogni-
tion of his achievements in entrepreneur-
ship and contribution towards the growth
of the South African economy”.
In sharing his acceptance speech with
me, Jabu also sent me a few photos of him
and a few friends taken at the ceremony,
and these are individuals that themselves
contributed immensely to economic trans-
formation during apartheid under the aus-
pices of various formations as affiliates
of Fabcos.
Of course it was Mabuza who recruited
me back in 1988 when I was president of
the Afro Hairdressing & Beauty Associ-
ation of South Africa (Ahbasa), to affili-
ate Ahbasa with Fabcos, an invitation I
do not regret, and for Fabcos then was
“the Harvard of Hard knocks”. Many of
us, including Eskom acting group chief
executive Johnny Dladla, ploughed our
was led by the late entrepreneur of note,
and Mabuza’s mentor, James Ngcoya, who
was also the president of Fabcos.
Besides Future Bank, Fabcos also owned
an insurance company, Afsure, a chain
of service stations in partnership with
Total South Africa at the back of the taxi
industry, a Sabta branded minibus taxi in
partnership with Nissan, the list is long.
I recall what I deemed to be an ordinary
day when Mabuza invited me to his then
home in Waterkloof. He took out what was
his special bottle of whisky that he had put
aside for the day his bank balance reached a
milestone set for himself of a R1 million. I
cannot recall the brand name but I remem-
ber sharing that special moment with him.
Social partners
A few weeks ago I commented on, among
others, radical economic transformation
(RET) and the role all Nedlac social part-
ners could play in debating this notion.
I said “Jabu Mabuza must use his
powerful office as president of both Busa
and BLSA to lead his constituency in de-
bating RET as a policy imperative, instead
of second guessing it”.
I am pleased that, of course, Busa had
already embarked on the process of devel-
oping its position on economic transforma-
tion, and the position paper alluded to ear-
the economic value of diversity.

to deal with corruption.
Secondly, it has introduced new terms
and seems to be shying away from accept-
able terms that form part of government
policy, such as “Black Economic Trans-
formation” instead of Black Economic
Empowerment, and “Racial Economic
Transformation” instead of Radical Eco-
nomic Transformation.
This is a worrying aspect of this docu-
ment and the thinking behind it. It would
be worrisome if big business is bent on
taking a negative stance of propagating
against government policy on this par-
ticular matter, and therefore taking an
emotional position opposed to the ruling
party’s terminology.
It talks to what I earlier termed “second
guessing the term Radical Economic Trans-
formation as a narrative”. Notwithstand-
ing the current political posturing from
all angles, the notion of radical economic
transformation was adopted during the
Mangaung conference and therefore forms
part of government policy.
The role of the private sector is therefore
to debate and build consensus around it
and to harmonise all strategies and actions
that seek to find inclusive solutions from
an economic and business point of view.
As business we cannot afford to play
politics. But we can strengthen dialogue so
as to not confuse the masses out there, these
transformation into a racial issue, which
it is not. It is about economic equilibrium.
We all agree that the apartheid eco-
nomic architecture has to be dismantled,
and replaced by a more inclusive, dynamic
economy with the potential to instigate
accelerated economic development that
befits all.
The issue of ownership relating to
purchase of white owned assets by black
investors as central strategy of BEE
remains contentious, and comes at a much
greater cost for black entrepreneurs.
Divested
We have seen how most of these trans-
actions resulted in black investors having
divested early from some of these trans-
actions, sometimes at a greater loss, and
with original owners retaking control and
reverting to historical ownership patterns.
Whilst it is important to deracialise the
economy, the more practical and effective
strategy for me will be to create and sup-
port emerging businesses that are 100 per-
cent black owned and controlled, and for
them to be integrated into the major value
chains of large, established businesses.
I therefore concur with Busa’s position
on ownership, and hope that business will
desist from any activities that seem to con-
tinue with box ticking and fronting exer-
than forever to service or yield dividends.
The architects of the original BBBEE
framework, in my view, had a jaundiced
view of economic transformation, and
would have known better of the unintended
consequences of placing the type of bur-
densome compliance mechanisms, know-
ing that very few black companies could
meet those thresholds.
In fact I am left with the view that points
to a collusive deliberate strategy to keep
the economic ownership patterns intact,
perhaps I am wrong. Twenty-three years
later we are still grappling with the same
issues, with most of those limited gains
being hugely reversed.
I therefore welcome Busa’s assertion
on the need to accelerate enterprise and
supplier development, and for established
big business to play a much more pivotal
role in opening up their major value chains
to 100 percent black owned companies.
To this end, we need to see increased
activity aimed at placing enormous resour-
ces towards supporting and scaling up and
bridging the capability gap of SMMEs by
large businesses, and dismantle control
of major supply chains by “old boys club”
suppliers.

Heriot to list on AltX
from the next week​
‘JSE granted it a listing of all of its issued ordinary shares’​
Sandile Mchunu
HERIOT REIT has said that
it would officially list on the
AltX next Monday under the
Diversified Reit sector after the
“JSE granted it a listing of all
of its issued ordinary shares”
and with its share code.
The group said its issued
share capital would comprise of
255 637 135 ordinary shares of
no par value and approximately
R2.55 billion market capitalisa-
tion.
Heriot was founded by
current chief executive Ste-
ven Herring in 1998 with the
purpose of growing a property
portfolio that generated sus-
tainable long-term cash flows
from blue chip tenants.
It was incorporated and
registered as a private com-
pany in April, but converted to
a fully fledged public company
last month.
The company’s financial
year end is May 31.
AfriSam’s proposed merger with PPC may reach an accord soon and would create an African cement giant.

Sandile Mchunu
PPC ISSUED a fifth cautionary
announcement to its sharehold-
ers about the proposed merger
talks it is involved with Afri-
Sam. This follows four other
announcements in February,
March, May and June, issued
since the beginning of the year.
“Shareholders are advised
that the due diligence assess-
ment and the discussions
regarding the proposed mer-
ger are still in progress and,
if implemented, may have a
material impact on the price of
the company’s shares. Accord-
ingly, shareholders are advised
to continue exercising caution
when dealing in securities of
the company until such time
a further announcement is
made,” the group said.

Xinhua
THE South African govern-
ment strongly denied reports
yesterday that it had approved
international trade in rhino
horns.
“The commercial inter-
national trade in rhino horn
is, and remains, prohibited
in terms of all international
protocols that South Africa
is party to, particularly the
Convention on International
Trade in Species of Fauna and
Flora (Cites),” said the Depart-
ment of Environmental Affairs
(DEA).
Heriot’s introduction into
the property market was
through the industrial sector,
with properties underpinned
by triple net, long-term leases
that facilitated quick growth
of its asset base. Today, Heriot
owns 20 industrial properties
valued at R1.58bn.
It is also now a property hold-
ing and investment company
that is invested in industrial,
retail, residential, specialised
and commercial properties in
South Africa.
Heriot Properties, which
holds approximately 70 percent
of the properties comprising
the portfolio and which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the
company, generated sustainable
long-term cash flows from blue
chip tenants.
The group has grown in
leaps and bounds since incep-

ies have been going on since

that the talks look like they may
lead to a successful merger.
When the talks gained
momentum in March, AfriSam
chief executive Stephan Olivier
said that he was stepping down,
declining to extend his con-
tract with the company. Rob
Wessels has since taken over
from Olivier as acting chief
executive until the outcome
of the merger talks have been

merger is not known, as it is

that this could undermine the

illegal in terms of domestic
regulations and South Africa’s

Both companies have oper-

AfriSam has a cement plant in

are battling with government’s

competition, low cement prices

Hume won a series of court
battles earlier this year to over-
turn the eight-year-old mora-

rhino horns.
Although a Constitutional
Court order on April 5 this
year set aside the moratorium
on the domestic trade in rhino
horns, it is subject to the issu-
ing of the relevant permits

regulations and applicable
provincial legislation in order

The group also added that
through its subsidiaries and
its interest in Heriot Trust 1
and Heriot Trust 3, it owns a
diversified portfolio of 44 prop-
erties across the retail, indus-
trial and commercial sectors.
“The properties are situ-
ated in areas with high growth
potential. The group’s invest-
ment strategy is to purchase
yield-enhancing assets that
can offer consistent long-term
rental income growth,” the
group said.
Going forward, the board
of Heriot is confident that it
will deliver a distribution of
72 cents a share for the year
ending May 2018.
The board currently has six

1 percent over the past three
years. “We expect a slight
improvement to 2 percent fore-
cast only in 2019,” it said.
It also noted that consumer
confidence had been muted
mainly due to consumers being
downbeat on the economic

Oando confirms zz IN BRIEF
being investigated​ Sales rise 0.5% to reach R42.5bn​
Kabelo Khumalo
DUAL-listed Oando yesterday
confirmed that it was under
investigation by Nigeria’s Se-
curities and Exchange Com-
mission (SEC) over alleged
malpractices in its financial
statements, but said the claims
were “defamatory and unsub-
stantiated”.
At the heart of the allega-
tions against the Lagos-based
integrated energy solutions
group is the alleged disgruntle-
ment by some of the company’s
investors in relation to changes
in the shareholding structure
following the 2014 acquisi-
tion of the Nigerian assets of
US-based ConocoPhillips.
Ayotola Jagun, Oando’s
chief compliance officer and
company secretary, said the
complaint against it was devoid
of facts and was confident the
SEC would dismiss it.
“The company understands
that the SEC is in receipt of cor-
respondence containing (in our
opinion) unsubstantiated, mis-
leading and defamatory claims
with respect to various mat-
ters that had already received
board, shareholder and where
required SEC approval.
“The company is fully
co-operating with the SEC in
the discharge of its duties as
the capital markets regulator
by providing all appropriate
clarifications and rebuttals on
the matters raised in the said
correspondence,” Jagun said.
The two investors who are
said to have approached the
SEC to launch an investiga-
tion into Oando are said to be
Nigerian businessman Dahiru
Mangal and Italian business-
man Gabriel Volpi.
In 2014, Oando, which is
listed on both the Nigerian and
Johannesburg stock exchan-
ges, bought ConocoPhillips
Nigeria’s upstream business for
$1.5 billion (R19.52bn), at the
time the biggest acquisition in
the upstream oil and gas sector
by a Nigerian company.

South Africa, home to about
90 percent of the world’s rhino

rhino poaching, having lost
1 175 rhinos to poaching in
2015.
The government introduced
the moratorium on rhino horn

rhino poaching.
But private ranchers say
that the moratorium has failed
to stop the scourge, and there-

MASSMART​
MASSMART, which owns local brands such as Game, Makro
and Builder’s Warehouse, reported yesterday that total sales for
the half year to June 25 amounted to R42.5 billion, representing
an increase of 0.5 percent over the prior comparable period.
Comparable store sales decreased by 1.6 percent and product
inflation was estimated at 3.2 percent. The company has
previously said that the marked differences in the performances
of food and non-food categories across the country and in most
parts of sub-Saharan Africa, were caused by weak consumer
spending, especially on discretionary items, and low consumer
confidence. “Consequently at a group level, our total sales growth
in food (being food and liquor) is 3 percent and in non-food
(being general merchandise, home improvement and cellular)
is minus 2.9 percent,” Massmart said. The company said total
and comparable sales growths from its South African stores
were 1.7 percent and minus 0.2 percent, respectively. There were
positive comparable sales growths in Game, Masswarehouse and
Massbuild. Massmart’s financial results for the 26 weeks to June
25, 2017, will be released on the Stock Exchange News Service of
the JSE on August 24, 2017. Massmart shares gained 0.63 percent

BHP BILLITON​
Canadian potash venture under fire​
BHP BILLITON’S plan to enter the potash market with a
contentious $13 billion (R169.22bn) project in Canada is adding to
challenges facing the incoming chairperson of the world biggest
mining company. Ken MacKenzie, a 53-year-old board member
who takes up the role in September, currently is on a global tour
to meet investors in the wake of an activist campaign in recent
months spearheaded by Elliott Management. Issues of concern
for some shareholders include the producer’s US onshore oil and
gas assets and its plans to accelerate the Jansen potash venture.
Proceeding with Jansen risks a “severe strategic misstep,”
according to Sanford C Bernstein analyst Paul Gait, as the new
supply would risk depressing prices by delaying to about 2036 the
ability of the potash market to work through overcapacity. Paul
Singer’s Elliott went public in April with a campaign seeking
asset sales and a corporate overhaul, claiming management
decisions have eroded as much as $40bn in value. “Potash is going
to be a big, big decision and I get the feeling most people in the
market are fairly cautious,” said Andy Forster, senior investment
officer at Argo Investments, which manages more than A$5bn
(R51bn) and holds BHP’s Sydney-listed shares. Investors are
looking to MacKenzie to show he’ll be “more disciplined in the
capital-allocation process,” he said. BHP declined to comment
on talks with investors on the Jansen project. Potash demand
could double by the late 2040s to develop into a $50bn market, Paul
Burnside, BHP’s principal, potash analysis, said yesterday in a
blog post on the company’s website. – Bloomberg
SAP
Software giant SAP hires US law firm
JOHANNESBURG: South Africa’s opposition DA said yesterday
it would file a criminal complaint against German software giant
SAP over allegations of corruption involving friends of President
Jacob Zuma. SAP, Europe’s top technology company, last week
put four senior managers in South Africa on leave and opened
an investigation into reports that dragged the company into an
escalating influence-peddling scandal. South African media
reported last week that SAP paid kickbacks to CAD House, a
firm partly owned by the politically connected Gupta family and
Zuma’s son Duduzane. The payments allegedly helped SAP clinch
a deal worth R1 billion with rail and logistics company Transnet.
CAD House sells 3-D printers and has no software experience that
would make it a logical go-between for SAP and Transnet. “The
DA has reason to believe SAP South Africa procured the services
of CAD House purely because they wanted access to its owners,
Duduzane Zuma and the Guptas,” the DA said in a statement.
“The DA will, therefore, proceed to lay charges of corruption and
money laundering against (SAP South Africa and CAD House).”
Reuters has not been able to independently verify the allegations.
A Gupta spokesperson, CAD House, SAP and a spokesperson for
Zuma did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The
Guptas, Indian-born South Africans, and Zuma have previously
denied wrongdoing. SAP has hired an independent international
law firm based in the US to conduct an external investigation and
will run its own internal inquiry. – Reuters
SAA​
No cover up in alleged corruption​
THE SOUTH African Airways (SAA) board of directors yesterday
assured the public that it would not cover up corruption at the
state-owned airline following a Sunday newspaper report that it
paid R4.5 billion to overseas companies for long-term contracts.
The board also said action taken against anyone accused of
criminality must have factual basis and be legally sustainable. “It
is important to understand the status these reports enjoy within
the business and the processes the company has embarked upon
before conclusions are made on the basis of any aspect of such
reports,” it said. Investigations were previously commissioned by
SAA to look into financial losses incurred by the company. “The
board has looked into those reports and concluded that, as matters
stand, they are incomplete.” It was finalising these reports,
including soliciting input from all affected parties and executive
management. City Press claimed that two forensic reports in
its possession reveal how SAA Technical, which maintains
and services the fleets of the national airline and several other
carriers, “flouted procurement regulations and extended
contracts several times without going to tender”. – Dineo Faku

CIGFARO workshop
concludes successfully
with renewed zeal to
foster high standards and
accountability in public
finance and governance.

wrapped up in Cape Town with
clear propositions on the way
forward to promote ethical
leadership and pursue value
for money in service delivery,
by assisting municipalities and
public entities improve their
audit outcomes in a sustain-
able manner.
A major highlight of the
CIGFARO workshop was the
declaration of zero tolerance
to fraud, maladministration,
non-compliance and corrup-
tion. These were identified as
maladies that result in inflated
costs, poor service delivery, and
delays in projects.
Another highlight was
a pledge by the multi-stake-
holder contingent who partici-
pated in the seminar to foster a
consequences and accountabil-
ity management framework to
ensure that each rand spent is
to the service of the people.
The membership of CIG-
FARO, which until last year
was the Institute for Municipal
Finance Officers, is made up
of accountants and auditors
from government and public
institutions.
Among its objectives is the
development of skills in Muni-
cipal Finance, Audit, Risk and
Performance Management in
the Public Sector.
CIGFARO also works to-
wards the promotion of the
interests of the profession of
public finance officers and re-
lated professions.
The 2017 Audit and Risk

The successful colloquium

The theme was: ‘Inculcat-

Meanwhile, Auditor Gen-

of promoting good governance
through the members’ contri-
bution to transparency in, and
accountability for, the use of
public resources, as well as
the promotion of efficient, ef-
fective and economic public
administration.
Makwetu said for the pro-
cess of achieving a clean audit
to be effective, those charged
with governance and manage-
ment must be open to discuss-
ing tough issues.
He said they should be will-
ing to seize opportunities to
sults.
At the beginning of this
term of Local Government the
audit outcomes reflected only
16 audited municipalities who
received unqualified opinions
with no other matters or clean
audits.
The record shows that the
number stands at 66 now. Over
the same period, 96 munici-
palities received adverse
disclaimers and audits not
make necessary changes for
improvement in their various
areas of responsibility.
“A clean audit is an indica-
tor of a government entity’s
strategic positioning and its
ability to implement this strat-
egy in an accountable manner,
hence creating a solid foun-
dation for service delivery to
the benefit of the citizens of
South Africa,” he said.
On the other hand, CIG-
FARO President Dr Kumar
thanked the minister, auditor
general and all stakeholders
for supporting and protecting
the interests of the public
through strict enforcement

call on all citizens, business
customers and government
departments to pay timeously
for services and settle their

Municipalities are cur-
rently battling with a R128 bil-

and that has a knock-on effect
on the service delivery value
chain.
Whilst municipalities have
a responsibility to provide

a responsibility to pay for the
services they use.
Conversely, SALGA is also

recovered in the history of hu-

would you want to polish it?”
said Lucara’s chief executive.
“The stone in the rough
form contains untold poten-
tial… As soon as you polish it
into one solution, everything
else is gone.”
Lamb had gambled that ul-
tra-rich collectors, who buy
and sell precious art works for
record-breaking sums at auc-
tion, would do the same with
a diamond in the raw.
The unprecedented bet
failed.
Bidding for the 2.5 to 3 bil-
lion-year-old stone stalled at
$61 million (R788m) – short of
the $70 million reserve.
“When is a diamond too
big? I think we have found
that when you go above 1 000
carats, it is too big – certainly
from the aspect of analysing
the stones with the technol-
ogy available,” said Panmure
Gordon mining analyst Kieron
Hodgson.
“At the end of the day, it’s
about understanding what the
stone can produce. And the
industry now doesn’t work on
hunches as much as it used to
20-30 years ago.”

ing system that can dramatic-
ally swing values.
Stones in the hundreds of
carats come with additional
risk, from the multi-mil-
lion-dollar price tags and
cutting process that can take
months or years, to capricious
customer demand.
There is a “very, very small
universe” of companies with
the skill, money and network
to polish and sell the Lesedi,
which will likely take two to
four days for the first laser cut,
said Lamb.
But after Lucara’s public
auction, potential buyers now
know what the market is will-
ing to pay, said Edahn Golan,
of Edahn Golan Diamond
Research & Data. “Maybe it’s
worth waiting a couple of
years,” he said.
While Lucara does not need
the money, investors may not
have that patience.
Lamb said the unsold stone
“weighs heavily” on the stock,
other benefits from the stone,
said independent diamond
analyst Paul Zimnisky.
“There’s the value of a
particular diamond, but then
there’s also a story behind the
second-largest rough diamond
ever recovered in modern
time,” he said.
“Just from a publicity
standpoint, nobody knew what
Lucara Diamond was when
they recovered that stone…
now they’re probably one of
the most recognised names.”
Lamb, a former De Beers
executive, says it’s unlikely
Lucara can sell the stone for
its desired price and polishing
the Lesedi itself is risky.
Another option is for the
Vancouver-based miner to
partner with one or more
companies to cut and sell the
stone. “We’ve already done our
homework,” Lamb said. “You
don’t take a stone like this and
give it to the second best.”
Industry sources agree that
high-profile British diamond
dealer Laurence Graff makes
the list of potential partners,
but beyond that, opinions vary.
Lucara could work with
a consortium, sources said,
including Cora International,
Diamcad, the so-called “King
golan president’s daughter
Isobel dos Santos, Swissdiam
International and Rare Dia-
mond House (RDH).
It would be a mistake for
Lucara to hold on to the Le-
sedi, said Oded Mansori, RDH
managing director. “Maybe
next week, there will be a lar-
ger stone.”
New technology means
miners like Gem Diamonds,
Lucapa Diamond, Petra Dia-
monds and Letseng Diamonds
are unearthing more mega-
stones intact rather than
breaking the brittle crystals.
Lucara, which installed a
Large Diamond Recovery ma-
chine, using X-ray transmis-
sion sensors (XRT), recovered
the Lesedi, an 813-carat and
374-carat stone, over two days.

Air bag maker Takata braces for hit​

beacon of clean governance, with the
auditor-general (AG) Kimi Makwetu giv-
ing the institution its second consecutive
clean audit in the 2015-16 report.
Executive Mayor Councillor Linah
Malatjie says achieving financial integrity
is a major priority for the district muni-
cipality, attributing the feat to strong in-
ternal control systems, effective manage-
ment structures, financial integrity and
efficient oversight mechanisms.
The district also has a fully functional
Performance Management and Evalua-
tion System to ensure the smooth flow of
service delivery system and timely inter-
ventions to plug deficiencies.
Besides the two consecutive clean aud-
its of 2014/15 and 2015/16 financial years,
the district obtained unqualified audit
opinion since 2002 to 2013 consecutively.
“The outstanding achievement is an
indication of the sterling management
team led by the Municipal Manager, Mar-
garet Skosana, committed officials and
visionary councillors.
“Indeed, the clean audits are a testa-
ment to the team effort and hard work that
each and every one at Nkangala District
Municipality puts into their day to day
activities.
“I am proud of the sacrifice and dedi-
cation of the team members and would
like to urge everyone to continue being
faithful stewards of the communities we
serve, and South Africa as a whole,” said
Cllr. Malatjie.
Nkangala is one of the three districts
of Mpumalanga province and it is situated
in Middelburg. Nkangala District Muni-
cipality is made up of Victor Khanye,
Dr J.S. Moroka, Emalahleni, Emakhaz-
eni, Steve Tshwete, and Thembisile local
municipalities.
According to the 2011 Census, the popu-
lation is over one million. Nkangala is at
the economic heartbeat of Mpumalanga
and is rich in minerals and natural re-
sources.
Its economy is dominated by electricity,
manufacturing and mining. These sec-
tors are followed by community services,
trade, finance, transport, agriculture and
construction.
The district is host to the Maputo
corridor which brings increased poten-
tial for economic growth and tourism
development. Nkangala district neighbors
provinces like Limpopo, Gauteng, North
West and KwaZulu-Natal.
The proximity to Gauteng opens up
opportunities to a larger market, which is
of benefit to the district’s agricultural and
manufacturing sectors.
There is further potential in exporting
invest in our district, and indeed country.
“Clean audits are a major driver of
inward investment as people looking to
set up businesses and employ people are
guaranteed that the government is clean
and that basic services are delivered effi-
ciently,” said Keith Jordaan, a business-
man.
Jordaan added that that for residents,
and business alike, such an achievement
means that there are strong institutions
and systems within the district which
they can approach with their concerns for
speedy solutions without having to pay a
bribe or engage in corrupt activities.
In an interview Skosana (the munici-
pal manager) explained that apart from
the clean audit the district was also hon-
oured by reputable organisations.
Nkangala District Municipality re-
ceived the following outstanding recogni-
tion awards on areas of good governance
from the Chartered Institute of Govern-
ance, Audit and Risk Officers:
l The best Municipality in areas of good
governance Internal Audit 2015 /16 ( CIG-
FARO Conference)
l Best Internal Auditor 2016/17( Audit
and Risk Indaba)
l Best Performance practitioners
2016/2017( Audit and Risk Indaba)
l Runner up best Risk Officer 2016/2017(
Audit and Risk Indaba)
“Surely, these milestones and multiple
awards confirm our motto: ‘We are des-
tined for Excellence’. They are a dem-
onstration that we are well on the road
towards realising the dictates of the Na-
tional Development Plan (NDP) whose
goal is to eliminate poverty and reduce
inequality by 2030.
“Our role as the Nkangala District
Municipality in the overall NDP vision
is in the creation of a responsive, ac-
countable, effective and efficient local gov-
ernment administration which is people
driven and adheres to the prescripts of
service delivery excellence,” Skosana said.
“The district has spent 48% and 50%
of the total expenditure on service de-
livery projects to the benefit of our local
municipalities in the 2014/15 and 2015/16
financial years respectively, contributing
to our vision of improving the lives of our
people,” Skosana said.
Meanwhile, Executive Mayor Malatjie
expressed gratitude to Councillors and
the various Council Committees for the
support and guidance leading to the fulfil-
ment of Nkangala District Municipality
mandate.
She also paid special tribute to all Exec-
utive Mayors and Councillors of Local
Municipalities, Management, Officials,
community Structures and Stakeholders
for their hard work and dedication.

THE global recall of Takata
Corp’s defective air bags wid-
ened last week and the number
of confirmed deaths rose, but
legal experts said the bigger
worry for car companies caught
in the fallout is playing out in
a Delaware bankruptcy court-
room.
Earlier this month, people
injured by the air bags, which
degrade over time and can
inflate with excessive force,
were appointed to their own
official committee in the
Japanese company’s US bank-
ruptcy, giving them a powerful
voice in the proceedings.
This unusual committee,
which includes people whose
cars lost value due to the
recall, will be pitted against
Honda Motor Co, Toyota Motor
Corp, and other vehicle makers.
The car companies have
been trying to use the bank-
ruptcy to limit their liability for
installing the faulty air bags,

Chinese data spurs markets​ UAE warns media

Marc Jones
London
STRONG data from China
kept world shares near a rec-
ord high yesterday, sent copper
to a 4½ month peak and left
emerging market stocks buyers
cheering a near 5 percent gain
in the last five days.
Figures from Beijing
showed China’s economy grew
at a faster-than-forecast 6.9 per-
cent year-on-year in the second
quarter, thanks to a pick-up in
industrial output and domes-
tic consumption and as invest-
ment remained strong.
Asia shares had hit a 2-year
high overnight and Europe’s
bourses rose early on as they
looked to score their fourth
session of unbroken gains.
The jump in copper and
other industrial metals, as
well as higher oil prices fol-
lowing the Chinese data, meant
mining firms led the charge,
though all sectors shuffled
higher.
“The China data was very
helpful,” said fund manager
UBP’s macro and FX strategist
Koon Chow.
“I think it had a particu-
lar resonance after Friday’s
(weaker than expected) US CPI
and retail sales data… so it is
extending the Goldilocks en-
vironment,” he said referring
to a not-too-hot, not-too-cold
market climate.
That lacklustre US data
meant the dollar was strug-
gling to rise above a 10-month
low in early European trad-
ing having watched com-
modity-based – and therefore
China-linked – Australian and
Canadian dollars jet higher

overnight.
The Aussie dollar hit its
highest level in more than two
years before it pulled back to
$0.7813, while the Canadian
dollar touched a one-year high
before it settled at around
C$1.2659.
Britain’s sterling and the
euro both eased against the
dollar, having jumped on Fri-
day as officials from both sides
prepared for Brexit talks in
Brussels. The euro was worth
87.52 pence.
UK Brexit Secretary David
Davis, in the Belgian capital
for talks with the EU’s chief
negotiator Michel Barnier a
month after a first meeting,
said yesterday that having
“made a good start” during
their last encounter, “this week
we’ll be getting into the real
substance”.
Working groups will focus
on three areas: citizens’ rights;
the EU demand that Britain
pays some €60 billion (R896bn)
to cover ongoing EU budget

commitments; and other loose
ends, such as what happens to
British goods in EU shops on
Brexit day.
“It seems that the British
government wants to (take)
major steps towards the EU in
the upcoming round of negoti-
ations,” wrote Commerzbank
analysts. – Reuters
over promoting
terrorist activities​
Regis Nyamakanga
THE UNITED Arab Emirates
(UAE) have warned that some
media organisations are pro-
moting terrorist activities
under the guise of freedom of
expression, describing it as an
affront to international law.
UAE Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs, Dr Anwar
Gargash, said yesterday that
the international community
should be “vigilant” as some
journalists and new technol-
ogies were being exploited by
terrorist groups to disseminate
extremist ideologies, recruit
followers and mobilise funding.
While the UAE accepted
that the right to freedom of
expression was of paramount
importance, the minister said
restrictions on the right were
permitted under international
law in order to protect national
security and maintain public
order.
Dr Gargash was reacting to
a recent statement by the UN
High Commissioner for Human
Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein,
regarding a call by a number of
states for Qatar to close down
the Al-Jazeera Media Network.
“It is important to reiter-
ate… that freedom of expres-
sion cannot be abused or used
in a way which promotes
extremist narratives. The
Joint Declaration on Freedom
of Expression and Countering
Violent Extremism adopted by
several regional and human
rights bodies recognises that
states may restrict the right to

eign Affairs, Dr Anwar Gargash.

and described the Holocaust as

EUROZONE​
Tepid inflation
cuts bond yields​
EUROZONE government
bond yields fell yesterday,
as tepid inflation numbers
lifted expectations of a
cautious stance at this week’s
European Central Bank (ECB)
meeting. The ECB meets on
Thursday, three weeks after
comments from central bank
chief Mario Draghi that were
seen as opening the door to
policy tweaks in the coming
months triggered a jump in
bond yields and the euro.
While borrowing costs remain
at elevated levels, weak US
data and subdued euro zone
inflation have provided some
comfort to bond markets, on
edge that an era of ultra-loose
monetary policy is drawing
to a close. Data yesterday
confirmed that consumer
prices in the euro zone rose
1.3 percent year-on-year in
June, in line with market
expectations and decelerating
from 1.4 percent in May. The
core measure, which strips out
unprocessed food and energy,
edged up to 1.2 percent on
the year. “The inflation data
is feeding expectations that
Draghi will use Thursday’s
press conference to set the tone
right about the policy outlook,”
said DZ Bank rates strategist
Daniel Lenz. Bond yields
across the bloc fell 2 to 5 basis
points, led by peripheral debt
markets. Germany’s 10-year
bond yield dipped 2 basis
points to 0.51 percent – down
from 18-month highs hit a week
ago at 0.58 percent, but roughly
double the levels it traded at

STRONGER-than-expected Chi-
nese economic growth data and
reduced chances of another US
rate rise this year lifted emer-
ging stocks to their highest since
the end of April 2015 yesterday,
tracking gains in developed
markets.
MSCI’s benchmark emerging
markets equity index rose
0.4 percent after data showed
the world’s second largest
economy grew by 6.9 percent
in the second quarter, beating
analysts’ forecasts.
The index has risen almost
5 percent in the last five trad-
ing days.
William Jackson, senior
emerging economist at Capital
Economics, also highlighted
industrial production, retail
sales and fixed investment
data.
“Some of the lower profile
data suggests the economy is
pretty strong,” he said.
“Despite all the fears about
politics in developed and emer-
ging markets, the economic
environment is relatively fa-
vourable with relatively strong
global demand supporting ex-
ports, the fiscal austerity seen
in some countries easing off,
and some countries that have
been in recession coming out of
that,” he added.
Asian stocks hit a two-year
high with Hong Kong shares up
0.3 percent, but Chinese main-
land stocks
fell more than 1 percent,
China’s
economic growth in
the second quarter
after a sharp sell-off in small
caps.
The Chinese yuan firmed,
however, after the central bank
lifted its official guidance for
the currency’s midpoint to an
8½ month high.
In emerging Europe, Hungar-
ian stocks reached new all-time
highs, Polish shares gained
0.6 percent to a one-month
high, while Turkish and Czech
stocks gained 0.4 percent.
Emerging markets were also
underpinned by the diminishing
rate rise this year after Friday’s
weak inflation data and a sur-
prise fall in US retail sales.
The dollar fell to 10-month
lows and US Treasury yields
slipped to multi-week lows in
the wake of the data, while
stocks rallied hard. Federal Re-
serve chairperson Janet Yellen
also indicated on Wednesday
that the Fed’s rate hikes could
be gradual rather than fast.
Emerging currencies posted
small moves. The Polish zloty
lost 0.1 percent against the
euro after weekend protests
against the ruling party’s judi-
cial reforms.
“It’s a worrying continuation
of a trend with the Law and
Justice party… but it doesn’t
seem to have affected the zloty
said.
“The dominant factor here is
you have quite a strong exter-
nal position for the Polish econ-
omy… so there is no funda-
mental reason for it to weaken
sharply or in any sustained way.
The Turkish lira slipped
0.3 percent against the dollar
after President Tayyip Erdogan
stepped up his attacks on the
EU on Sunday and vowed to
bring back the death penalty if
parliament passed it.
The South African rand
firmed 0.2 percent to a two-
week high, helped by higher
precious metals prices while
the rouble slipped 0.2 percent
but remained near a two-week
high, underpinned by higher oil
prices. – Reuters
manner that could “increase
incitement” to violence, hostil-
ity and discrimination.
For instance, on Febru-
ary 18, 2008, following the
re-publication of a cartoon of
the Prophet Mohammed, Al
Jazeera TV broadcast a speech
by the spokesperson of the
Salah al-Din brigades in Gaza
that called on Muslims to “burn
down” offices of the newspaper
that published the cartoon. Two
separate plans to assassinate
the cartoonist and staff of the
newspaper that published the
cartoon, were thwarted by the
police.
In addition, Al-Jazeera had
promoted anti-Semitic violence
by broadcasting sermons by the
spiritual leader of the Muslim
Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qarad-
(Hizbullah), Ramadan Shallah
(Palestinian Islamic Jihad) and
Abdel Hakim Belhadj (Libyan
Islamic Fighting Group) among
others.
“These have not been sim-
ply topical interviews of a kind
that other channels might run;
rather, Al-Jazeera has pre-
sented opportunities for terror-
ist groups to threaten, recruit
and incite without challenge
or restraint.
“The government of the
UAE maintains that its objec-
tions to Al-Jazeera are not a
matter of disagreement on its
editorial standpoints, but are
rather based upon the net-
work’s dangerous incitement
to violence, through the per-
sistent promotion of extremist
narratives”, he said.
OECD warns on
digitalisation​
THE ORGANISATION for
Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) warned
Austria that its transition
towards digitalisation was
lagging behind most rich
countries, and that the gaps
relative to the others have even
widened in recent years. “The
differences are particularly
striking for tasks related to
the internet, such as real-
time discussions, e-mailing,
or executing transactions
online,” the Paris-based
OECD, a wealthy-country
think-tank, said in a report
published yesterday. In

which oversees $1.2  trillion
(R15.62trln). “We continue to
be comfortable with currency

EM currencies with ongoing
external rebalancing, such as
the Mexican peso and Brazil-

Central banks led by the US
Federal Reserve are preparing
to roll back easy credit policies
as their economies recover and
borrowing costs rise.
Need to tighten
Canada raised rates last week
for the first time since 2010,
becoming the first Group of
Seven country to join the US in
doing so, while the European
Central Bank (ECB) and the
Bank of England have hinted
at the need to tighten.
The phasing out of stimulus
is an unprecedented challenge
that may be more disruptive
than people think, JPMorgan
Chase chairperson Jamie Di-
mon said last week.
The ECB’s governing coun-
cil is scheduled to meet in
Frankfurt tomorrow and on
Thursday, with respondents
in a survey split on whether
officials might set the tone
by dropping a pledge to boost
quantitative easing if needed.
Even so, the MSCI Emer-
ging Markets Currency Index
is up in July, and higher from
a month earlier, when the Bank
of Canada surprised invest-
ors with a strong signal that
it’s ready to raise rates. The
JP Morgan Emerging Market
Volatility Index fell last week,
reversing a two-week advance,
and still trades near its lowest
level since 2014.
Further, the case for dollar
bears is growing stronger as
weaker-than-forecast economic
data raises doubts about the
prospect of additional Fed
tightening this year.
HSBC Holdings says it is
bullish on local-currency gov-
ernment bonds in Mexico,

EMIRATES, the Middle East’s lar-
gest airline, and budget carrier
flydubai have announced plans
to more closely integrate their
operations.
The two airlines operate in-
dependently, but are owned by
the same entity, the Investment
Corporation of Dubai.
Emirates Group and flydubai
chairperson, Sheikh Ahmed bin
Saeed Al Maktoum, said yester-
day that the deeper partner-
ship, which will also include a
code-share agreement, makes
indeed a much better use of
the two Dubai-based airlines’
capacities.
Emirates flies to more than
150 destinations, while flydubai
reaches more than 90.
The two already have an
interline agreement, which lets
them route passengers on to
the other’s airlines.
The new agreement comes

tions. – AP

for the transition to a digital

news on... http://twitter.com/busrep

ON A SWELTERING summer morning
in the southern Indian city of Chennai,
a dozen garment workers crowd into a
small courtroom for the latest hearing
in a protracted battle over low wages
in factories supplying global fashion
brands.
The women are among tens of thou-
sands of workers in Tamil Nadu state
– the largest hub in India’s $40 billion-
a-year (R520.7bn) textile and garment
industry – who are seeking millions
of dollars in compensation following
a landmark court ruling last year that
declared they had long been grossly
the garment workers should receive a
pay rise of up to 30 percent – the first
minimum wage hike for 12 years – and
that they could claim arrears going back
to 2014.
But 12 months on, many factory
bosses have failed to pay up.
Prove the claim
Squeezed into a corner at the back of
the stuffy Chennai courtroom, a mid-
dle-aged woman leans against the blue
walls, clutching polythene bags full of
documents to prove her claim.
Normally she spends her days
for high streets around the world.
But for months she has been taking
days off work to attend court.
“I forgo a day’s salary to come for
these hearings. It may not seem like a
big amount, but for us it is hard earned
money,” said the 48-year-old seamstress,
who did not wish to be identified fearing
it would impact her case.
“I am only asking for what is right-
fully mine. And they won’t even tell me
how they are calculating my dues.”

against tailoring and export garment
manufacturing units in the Chennai
region alone, according to data.

490 million Indian rupees (R99m).
But workers’ unions say these claims
are probably the tip of the iceberg as
they only represent cases filed by gov-
ernment labour inspectors.
Salary cuts
Under the 2016 Madras court ruling,
Tamil Nadu’s garment and textile work-
ers should see their pay rise from a
monthly average of 4 500 to 6 500 rupees
– which campaigners say is comparable
to wages for textile jobs in most other
states.
the ruling, with some even introducing
pay cuts.
Despite the state’s minimum wage
laws, salaries continue to be “grossly
low” for thousands of workers who
are still not given pay slips or are often
hired only as apprentices, campaigners
say.
“Instead of paying workers their
correct salaries, companies are finding
ways to surreptitiously squash their
rights,” said Selvi Palani, a lawyer help-
ing workers’ unions fight their cases.
“There is a court order, but the
money is not on the table. Workers con-
tinue to be underpaid.” – Reuters

TUESDAY JULY 18 2017
When faced with any hardships, we should draw inspiration from Madiba who made us
believe that we can conquer anything, writes Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula
Saluting the first commander-in-chief
of a democratic SA
J
uly has been earmarked
to honour the father
of our nation Nelson
Mandela.
We in the Department of
Defence would also like to join
millions of South Africans to
reflect on the teachings of the
first Commander-in-Chief of
the South African National
Defence Force (SANDF).
One of the most enduring
heritages that Madiba
bequeathed on us was national
reconciliation, particularly
between the different
racial groups who had been
systematically divided by a
myriad of apartheid laws.
The sharp divisions
were most pronounced in
the battlefield where the old
South African Defence Force
(SADF) was engaged in a war
to liquidate the liberation
armies, thus suppressing the
people’s quest for freedom,
democracy and
justice.
The integration
process that saw the
amalgamation of the SADF,
the former homeland armies,
the Transkei Defence Force,
Bophuthatswana Defence
Force, Venda Defence Force
and Ciskei Defence Force –
and the liberation armies
– Umkhonto weSizwe (MK)
and the Azanian People’s
Liberation Army (APLA), was
the highlight of the national
reconciliation project.
In the new SANDF, former
enemies worked together
to protect the territorial
integrity of South Africa
and ensure the safety of its
citizens.
More than anybody else,
Mandela navigated the peace
process and the subsequent
integration of the armies
with precision and delicate
approach of a brain surgeon.
Today we have a united
Defence Force, all because
of his efforts to unite South
Africans and rally them
behind the national flag.
Madiba made
us to believe that united,
we can conquer anything.
He made us believe in our
rainbow vision – that we can
be united in our diversity.
When negative forcers try
to whip racial tensions, we
should be quick to remind
them Mandela cherished an
ideal of a free, democratic and
non-racial society and that he
was prepared to die for this
ideal.
As the first president of
post-apartheid South Africa,
Mandela gave us a new vision.
He made us to be good
neighbours. Whereas
apartheid South Africa was
a regional bully that invaded
borders in pursuit of freedom
fighters, also attacking
countries seen to be
supporting the Struggle
for liberation, the new
South Africa under
Mandela exported peace
to other African countries.
There was a realisation
that South Africa cannot
afford to be an island of
peace while wars were
raging in other parts of
the continent.
Today, the
SANDF is part
of a multi-
national
force
that is helping the people in
the Democratic Republic of
Congo, Burundi and other
countries to be stable and
repel the negative forces.
As a country, we have much
to celebrate the role that South
Africa continues to play and
the successes we score to bring
about peace and stability in
support of the continent’s
collective efforts to create
the necessary conditions
for human development and
This feature is in partnership with the
Department of Defence
betterment of all our people,
as part of the Africa agenda.
The role of the SANDF,
recognised as a mid-wife for
peace in the continent, has
been integral in these efforts.
We are deeply encouraged
by the levels of support and
appreciation shown by our
people towards the work of
the SANDF.
After Mandela had left
the presidential office, he
dedicated huge amount of
time and effort to help the
warring factions in Burundi
to end the conflict that
had claimed
the lives of
thousands of people.
Our presence in that
country is part of the
vision to create a stable and
peaceful Africa, which is a
pre-requisite for economic
development and prosperity.
Mandela dedicated his life
to create equal opportunities
for all South Africans
regardless of race, colour or
creed.
As the Department
Defence, we are proud to state
that we have fully transformed
the department to create space
for young people from all
racial groups.
The SANDF
has become
a training
ground
for highly
skilled
careers
that
were
Picture: Karel Prinsloo / AP
previously the exclusive
reserve of a minority. We
can now be home for top
professionals in various
careers including medicine
and engineering.
The SANDF has become an
employer of choice to many of
our young people who access
training in careers that were
previously reserved for the
minority.
Our Defence Force has
been a leading player in the
creation of peace and security
in maritime, thus creating a
conducive environment for a
thriving ocean economy with
a huge possibility of creating
jobs for our people.
The transformation of
our Defence Force did not
just mean making the force
an effective force to promote
peace in the region but also to
make the force to contribute
to economic progress during
peace time.
We are involved in some of
the following:
Political, economic and
military co-operation with
other states, including the
development of a common
security regime, regional
defence co-operation and the
pursuit of confidence and
security building measures
(CSBMs) in Southern Africa.
The prevention,
management and
resolution of
23
conflict through nonviolent
means, including diplomacy
and conflict resolution
through the SADC Organ,
the AU Peace and Security
Council and the UN Security
Council.
The use of force, or the
threat of the use of force, as
a legitimate measure of last
resort when political and
other interventions have been
exhausted.
The SANDF is already
involved in peacetime
activities on matters that
impact on the lives of South
Africans on a daily basis.
The SANDF is training
several members of its reserve
force in a collaborative effort
with some of South Africa’s
provinces in courses on
water purification and fire
extinguishing.
The reserve force members
are working in those provinces
as Community Development
Practitioners in order to
assist provincial governments
in their rural development
initiatives;
A total of thirteen youth
entrepreneurship service
camps were presented in the
North West Province that
trained 2600 learners.
The order was given in
2016 for military messes in
the Defence Force to procure
commodities produced by
local communities. That
process has already started as
part of the plans for financial
year 2017/18.

set the tone for

THEO GARRUN

THE Golden Lions laid down the marker on the

opening day of the Coca-Cola Craven Week at St
Stithians College by beating Border 44-8 yesterday.
They scored seven tries, five of them in the
second half, to run out comfortable winners after
the Eastern Cape side restricted them to a 13-8
half time lead.

HERE there is life,
there is hope and
there will be Sharks
fanatics out there praying for
a miracle when their team
visits Ellis Park on Saturday,
hoping to spring one of the
great Super Rugby upsets of
all time.
Seven days before, the same
Sharks team had been com-
pletely out played in Durban
by a Lions side that had barely
moved out of second gear.
They did not have to. The
Sharks were poor and seemed
resigned to the fact that they
were going to lose and thus
have the “reward” of play-
ing the first-placed Lions
in Johannesburg,
rather than play
the Crusaders
in Christ-
church.
Can the
S h a r k s
honestly
believe
they can
turn things
around in
seven days?
“I think
we can,” defence
coach Ryan Strudwick
said. “We did not play well at
the weekend, we all know that,
but a knock-out game is a very
different prospect.
not in their interests to win.
“I think it was also in the
front of their minds in the
second half,” Strudwick said.
“In the first half we played
some good rugby and defended
well but when the chips were
down it was almost like the
guys knew that the real game
was going to be at Ellis Park
the following week.”
In the end, the Sharks
slipped 38 tackles, by some
margin their worst defensive
effort of the year.
“That is very disappointing
but the positive from it is that
these were mostly one-on-on
tackles that can be fixed easily
with the players having
the right attitude. It
was not a team
issue,” Strud-
wick said.
T h e r e

Mpeku kicked a penalty and a conversion, with
Luke Rossouw and Muzi Manyike also adding
conversions.
Free State were also impressive as they ran in
12 tries in demolishing Boland 81-26 to showthere
is nothing wrong with their traditional running
game following their disappointing showing
last year. Winger Henk Cilliers dotted down four
times for them. Ruhan Greyling got two tries and
Herman Agenberg, Marcel Theunissen, Ross
Braude, Christopher Schreuder, Jencon Van
Heyniging, Henk Cilliers and Teboho Rampai
one each. Schreuder added a penalty and nine
conversions.
In theother big games, Western Province
showed that they have every intention of
extending their two year-long unbeaten record
when they beat a plucky Pumas side 36-10, after
leading 19-3 at the break.
Christian Rossouw, Janko Swanepoel, Vian
Fourie, Gerado Jaars, Dewald Kellerman and
Muller Du Plessis scored the WP tries while
Darren Hoffman converted three of them.
The Lions played most of their reserves in the
game and one fancies they will get better as the
week progresses.
Just who they will be pitted against in their
second outing tomorrow will be interesting.
Logic says they should play Western Province,
but that would mean the two sides regarded by
most as the best at the week will not meet in the

New boss Mitchell the main Bull in coach’s kraal

“The whole scenario chan-
ges. This is a quarter-final and
it is do or die.”
Strudwick said that the
Sharks players certainly did
not play badly against the
Lions on purpose and the
first half-an-hour of the game
showed that.
The Sharks were committed
on defence but as the half-time
hooter sounded, they suffered
a sucker punch try to give the
Lions the half-time lead, and it
was downhill from there.
“There was not much riding
on the weekend’s game but
there is obviously everything
to play for this weekend and we
are confident that we will pick
it up,” Strudwick said.
“The whole psychology of
the game changes this week.”
The former Sharks lock said
we gave them too many penal-
ties,” the coach said.
“They had the majority of
possession and territory but
we will not be so charitable
this time and will hold onto
the ball.
“We can’t go into this game
with the same attitude as last
week. This is knock-out rugby,
it is about playing for inches
and we need to be more clin-
ical and composed,” Strudwick
said.
“Psychologically, we have
raised ourselves against the
bigger teams this season, as
was the case when we played
the Lions at Ellis Park in the
first round. Few will give us a
chance but we believe we can
win.”
Hope does, indeed, springs
eternal.
VATA NGOBENI
NEW BULLS boss John
Mitchell has rubbished any
talk of former All Blacks
flyhalf Carlos Spencer joining
the Bulls as an assistant coach
and instead Mitchell will be
hands on in the Currie Cup and
Super Rugby teams.
Mitchell, who commenced
his new job as executive
rugby at the Bulls yesterday,
said there is no truth to the
rumours that Spencer would
be joining him along with
former Lions strength and
conditioning coach Wayne
Taylor, and added that he will
be using the existing coaches
within the Bulls system.
Both Spencer and Taylor
worked with Mitchell during
his stint with the Lions when
they won the Currie Cup in
2011 but also left not long after
Mitchell acrimoniously parted
ways with the Johannesburg
based franchise.
“I think that’s a massive
rumour. Carlos is contracted in
Japan and I think that rumour
should be squashed,” Mitchell
said after conducting his first
training session at Loftus
Versfeld yesterday.
“Clearly and obviously
we’ve had a relationship
before and he’s a bloody good
coach but at this moment
in time we’ll just stick with
what we have. Obviously I am
operational but I also have
a responsibility as well to
mentor and develop coaches.
I haven’t seen Tails in a long
time, I think he is stuck in
New Zealand as well. There
are about five strength and
conditioning coaches already
here(Loftus).”
Unlike other directors of
rugby at other Super Rugby
franchises, Mitchell will
be directly involved in the
coaching of the Bulls Super
Rugby and Currie Cup teams
and has already committed
himself to being assistant
coach to Nollis Marais in the
upcoming domestic season as
an attack and backline coach.
In his previous head
coaching role at the USA
Eagles, whom Mitchell guided
to qualification to the 2019
Rugby World Cup in Japan,
Mitchell was not only head
coach but dabbled as an
attack and backline coach,
amalgamating his previous
skills as forwards coach with
England.
At the same time, the
former All Blacks coach will
be spending some time in
assessing and evaluating the
coaches at Loftus to see who
will ultimately be his assistants
in Super Rugby next year with
Marais likely to be forwards
coach after being relieved of
his duties as head coach in the
aftermath of the team’s dismal
season this year.
“We’ve had some time
thinking on the restructuring
so we will spend a bit more
time, we are not there yet. I’m
sure that won’t be far away
in being announced. Ideally
in Currie Cup we would
like to create the alignment
immediately to Super Rugby
with the coaching group. A
lot of the personnel is here,
it’s just about identifying the
competency and making sure
people are relevant and up to
date in some areas and making
sure the competencies are
in the right positions. I will
take a major role in attack
and will have an overview on
all aspects of play. Ultimately
I enjoy coaching attack and
have been doing it for USA as
well. It’s not often seeing guys
with forwards background
taking backline as well but it is
something I enjoy. In the last 18
months I have been taking both
backline and attack so I will
stay in that role,” said Mitchell.

Stormers focussed on passing Zimbabwe close in on

quarter-final test this time around
WYNONA LOUW
STORMERS coach Robbie Fleck
is confident that his “new team
and new campaign” can “get
through” their quarter-final
match against the Chiefs at
Newlands on Saturday (5pm
kickoff).
At a press conference at the
team’s training base in Bellville
yesterday, Fleck said that the
common knowledge of the
Stormers’ struggles to progress
to the finals won’t be a focus for
them as they get ready to host
the Kiwi side in a play-off match
again after last year’s 60-21
quarter-final horror at the same
venue.
The Stormers coach added
that his team were a very
different unit this time around,
and also said that he believes
their tour to New Zealand and
their successful home games
against the Chiefs and Blues
served as good preparation –
unlike last year, where they faced
a New Zealand opponent for the
first time in the quarter-finals.
“It is what it is in terms of
quarter-finals. We haven’t won
those matches, but this is a
new team and a new campaign.
Everyone brings it up – how the
Stormers don’t get through. We’ll
get through this time, that’s going
to be our focus,” Fleck said.
“We know that there’s lots
of pressure, but we can’t dwell
on that. We’re a fitter side,
we’re well-balanced, and we’ve
improved our structures. The
fact that we’ve played against five
New Zealand sides has been good
learning for us.
“They’ve got some big players
back and they’re a near full-
strength side, but so are we. We
BACK IN CONTENTION: SP
Marais
certainly are looking forward to
it.”
When asked what they would
do to get a different result this
time, Fleck said that he believed
the key was to keeping things
simple and just to stick to what
has worked for them until now.
And he was also confident that
they could bag another win
against Dave Rennie’s Chiefs, just
like they did back in April.
“We know what we’re facing,
we have to be at our best. When
this team is challenged, we tend
to front up and put in our best
performance. We know what
we have to do this weekend and
we know what they bring to the
table. But we’ve done it before so
there’s no reason why we can’t do
it again,” Fleck said.
“We’re not thinking about
the semi-finals. We’ve just got to
keep going with what has made
us successful this year. We have to
keep it simple and make sure that
there’s complete clarity among
the players and management
on what we have to do. They
certainly will be up for it. They
showed what they can do at
Newlands a year ago, but we also
showed what we could do a couple
of months ago.”
Prior to the Stormers’ game
against the Bulls at the weekend,
Fleck said that he wanted
physical confrontation from the
Bulls to help them prepare for the
play-offs, while they also wanted
to keep the ball in play as much as
possible.
And while Fleck feels that
they’ve made some strides in
those areas this past weekend, he
acknowledged that their defence
will have to be better come
Saturday and their individual
errors will have to be minimised.
Meanwhile, the injury bug
chose the perfect weekend to leave
the Stormers untouched, as Fleck
confirmed that there were no
casualties from the last pool-stage
game at the weekend. In fact, they
will receive a few timely boosts.
Both loose forward Rynhardt
Elstadt and prop Wilco Louw
have recovered and they will be in
line for selection this week, while
fullback SP Marais is also fit.
Centre Shaun Treeby is still
struggling with a rib injury
and he won’t be considered
for selection, while scrumhalf
Dewaldt Duvenage hasn’t been
cleared for selection either.
Up front, props Oli Kebble
and Alistair Vermaak have been
considered fit and available.
another bit of history
COLOMBO: Zimbabwe were seven wickets
away from their maiden Test win over Sri
Lanka yesterday after setting the hosts a
target of 388 in their one-off match at the R
Premadasa Stadium.
Sri Lanka were 170/3 in their second innings

IAAF suspends Fredericks
over corruption allegations​
LONDON: Former Namibian sprinter
and IAAF Council member Frankie
Fredericks has been provisionally
suspended from athletics pending an
investigation into a potential ethics
violation, the sport’s governing body
said yesterday.
Fredericks is being investigated
by the Athletics Integrity Unit over
payments he received from Papa Mas-
sata Diack, the son of former IAAF
president Lamine Diack, on the day
Rio won the vote to host the 2016
Olympics.
Earlier this year Fredericks, an
International Olympic Committee
member, stepped down as head of
the team evaluating bids to host the
2024 Olympics and has also removed
himself from the IAAF taskforce in-
vestigating doping allegations in Rus-
sia, after the corruption allegations
surfaced in Le Monde newspaper.
But in a written judgement, the
Chairman of the IAAF Disciplinary
Tribunal Michael J Beloff rejected
Fredericks’ offer to “use his best judg-
ment” on whether or not to attend
future council meetings.
“His suggestion that his participa-
tion in IAAF Council business should
be a matter of his own discretion
on a meeting-by-meeting and issue-
by-issue basis is, in the Integrity
beaten on 60 with Angelo Mathews, who
stepped down as captain after the ODI ser-
ies defeat, on 17 not out.
Zimbabwe captain Graeme Cremer picked
up 2/67 in Sri Lanka’s second innings to add
to his five-wicket haul in the first innings.
Earlier, Sikandar Raza’s first Test century
helped Zimbabwe to 377 in their second
innings after the touring side had resumed
the fourth day on 252-6. Raza scored 127
and added 144 for the seventh wicket with
Malcolm Waller, who made 68, to ensure his
side set Sri Lanka a steep target to chase. –

Unit’s view, inadequate in the light
of the seriousness of the matters,
the subject of investigation, and the
importance of ensuring... the utmost
standards of probity in the adminis-
tration of the sport,” it said.
The judgement reported that there
was a prima facie case into “the possi-
bility that Mr Fredericks received
substantial sums of money with the
aim and/or effect of affecting his
voting in the award of an Olympic
host city.”
It said that Fredericks rejects the
allegations, saying that a payment of
$300 000 was paid to his company for
legitimate work undertaken.
The judgement said clarity was
needed as to the reasons for the pay-
ment, but added that Fredericks’ sus-
pension “in no way abrogates the
principle of the presumption of in-
nocence.”
“An order for provisional suspen-
sion is not an early determination of
guilt. Rather, it is an order which may
be made on a precautionary basis to
safeguard the interests of the sport,
and support public confidence in the
sport and its integrity, pending the
conclusion of any ethical investiga-
tion and disciplinary proceedings.”
Fredericks can appeal his suspen-
sion. – Reuters
Pollock’s politics, unlike his
batting, belong in the past
MARK KEOHANE
Comment
GRAEME POLLOCK was a cricketing
untouchable, but his belief that South
Africa will never again be a cricket
force because of transformation is as
ill-formed as it is inherently racist.
The comments, like Pollock’s batting,
can’t be ignored.
Pollock the batsman was class; Pol-
lock the spokesperson for old South
Africa is simply crass.
Pollock, in the aftermath of the
Proteas Test defeat against England
at Lord’s, was quoted in the media as
saying that political interference and
quotas meant South Africans would
have to accept that the Proteas would
be a “middle of the road” Test side
because racial transformation was the
key component of selection.
Pollock even pinned opening bats-
man Heino Kuhn’s Test failures on
transformation, saying that Kuhn was
only picked because of his first-class
success in a SA competition structure
that apparently is weak because of
transformation. Apparently it’s never
the white guy’s fault and Kuhn’s fail-
ures are excused because inferior
black bowlers supposedly created the
illusion that he could bat.
Pollock didn’t seem as concerned
about the state of the Proteas when
the team beat Australia 5-0 in a ODI
series in SA. There were just three
white players in the playing 11, which
– if you do the maths – means there
were eight players who weren’t white.
Kuhn was out of his depth at Lord’s
and has looked equally limp at Trent
Bridge. Ditto Duane Olivier at Trent
Bridge. Where is transformation the
issue?
Why can a white player fail and it
never gets mentioned, but when the
team fails it is always down to trans-
formation? When the team wins you
never hear a peep from the likes of
Pollock or any of the SA white sport-
ing giants who played in an apartheid
era that promoted the virtues of only
white players.
Pollock’s comments reinforced the
SA sporting belief of the apartheid
era that white is right.
It took one Test defeat for Pollock to
blame transformation, but when the
team was winning series after series
in every format of the game there
was no applause in the media from the
likes of Pollock. Pollock told a gather-
ing in London that the 11 best players
were never selected for the Proteas.
He is right: Kuhn and Olivier
should not have played in the second
Test. He is wrong when he says it is
because of transformation.
I’ve heard similar arguments year
after year when it comes to the rugby
failures of the Springboks. Trans-
formation is blamed for every Bok
failure, but when the team wins trans-
formation is never mentioned.
Transformation was blamed for
the Springboks’ 2015 Rugby World Cup
defeat against Japan, but the player
who missed the tackle for Japan’s
match-winning try was Jesse Kriel.
There was never an issue made
that 12 white players in the starting
15 was the reason the Boks lost. Nope,
what we got was the predictable and
cliche social media rant that politics
was killing the Springboks.
Pollock and all those who believe
transformation is the death of SA
sport should be given a statistical
history lesson of the Proteas and Boks
results over the last 100 years.
SA lost plenty, and in embarrass-
ing and humiliating fashion with a
whites-only selection policy.
Pollock’s politics, unlike his bat-
ting, belongs in the past. His com-
ments were a greater embarrassment
than any national team defeat.

ITH THE start of the
new football season
about a month away,
clubs are currently involved
with their pre-season training
programmes. Rest assured, it’s
a murderous time of the year.
Ajax Cape Town captain
Travis Graham, pictured, ad-
mits he hates it, but he is just
as keenly aware of how crucial
this preparation stage is. So, as
a footballer, he fully embraces
the trauma of training.
“Pre-season is the worst,”

to get used to it and soon you
are back on track.”
Take it as axiomatic: Foot-
ballers hate pre-season.
While supporters are sali-
vating in anticipation of what
they can expect from their
team in the new season, and
the media waxes lyrical in
building up what’s to come, the
players are going through hell
on the training ground.
Pre-season – it’s absolute
torture. Players go through the
pain barrier every day, but it’s
accepted because they all know
there’s a reason behind the in-
sanity. Every moment of agony

and every player has the fit-
ness, stamina and endurance

is to perform the very first
game with the same efficiency
as the last one; and to have
the same fitness and intensity
from the first minute to the
90th of every game. It may not
happen that way during the
course of the season – players
are only human, after all – but
that is the basis for the torment
and suffering of the pre-season
training programme
It includes lots of lung-burst-
ing running and high-inten-
sity interval training. Like the
notorious “beep test”: This
involves continuous running
between two points (about 20m
apart) and it is synchronised
with a pre-recorded beep. With

beep.
With football being a sport
that requires jumping, head-
ing, short sprinting and con-
stant movement and focus, all
of this is adhered to during
the pre-season training pro-
gramme – and it is done at an
excruciatingly intense level.
But it is during this tough
and tiring period that players
not only entrench fitness and
endurance, they also build
character. It’s during pain and
adversity that players learn
more about themselves, about
how much they can withstand,

Sport&Racing South African 110m hurdles champion Tiaan

Smit is likely to be stripped of his national
title after he RECEIVED a four-year ban for
testing positive for a banned substance.
Smit tested positive for clenbuterol, a
banned anabolic agent, which is sometimes
used as a performance enhancer to increase

to decide whether it would strip Smit of his
title. Smit waived his right to have his B-sam-
ple analysed and was provisionally suspended
from competing from May 25.
In his submission, during the hearing, Smit
admitted to taking clenbuterol with the aim
of him; sleeplessness, shakings, irritableness,
sweating et cetera.”
Smith was subsequently given a four-year
ban and he will be eligible to compete again
in May 2021.
“He is an experienced athlete and the fact
that he did not make a substantial effort to
competes at a national level, who is aware
of anti-doping rules, who was tested twice
before but yet did not take any measures to
make sure that what he was about to use is

Bucs legend urges Iron Duke to crack the whip

MATSHELANE MAMABOLO

“They’ll be highly motivated ... there will be

The former Lions man pointed to the team’s
axing from Super Rugby in 2013 as a major turning
point.
“In my experience, having coached at the
Lions, what happened then was probably one of
the best things that could have happened. They
