News24.com | Mbalula’s Dubai trip: ANC, DA welcome Public Protector’s findings

You Need Posted on by

The ANC and DA welcomed Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s findings against former sport and recreation minister Fikile Mbalula

Mkhwebane found that a trip Mbalula had taken to Dubai in 2017, when he was still a minister, was paid for by a company conducting business with sports governing body Sascoc (South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee), creating a conflict of interest.

She made the announcement on Wednesday during the release of several of her office’s investigations.

The ANC’s acting spokesperson, Zizi Kodwa, said the party believed that ethical leadership was a cornerstone in building a resilient society.

“This responsibility is more onerous for ministers of state who are entrusted with managing public resources.”

He said the party appreciated that Mbalula had the right to challenge any aspect of the report and take it under judicial review if he felt aggrieved. However, this did not take away the points Mkhwebane raised.

“The ANC reaffirms its support and confidence in the Office of the Public Protector and all our constitutional entities entrusted with the role of being custodians of our constitutional values.”

Celebrity or minister?

Meanwhile, DA MP Tsepo Mhlongo said Mbalula abused his position to live a flashy lifestyle.

“He fancied himself as a celebrity rather than a minister mandated to serve the interests of the people.”

Mhlongo said the DA also welcomed Mkhwebane’s referral of the findings to the National Prosecuting Authority for investigation.  

Mkhwebane said Mbalula violated the Constitution and the Executive Members Ethics Code by allowing Sedgars sporting goods supplier to pay for the holiday.

The DA said it was crucial that the investigation be prioritised and that Mbalula be held accountable for his actions.

“While the DA has long held that the Public Protector is not fit for office, it is clear that this violation on the part of Mbalula was so obvious that even she could not soft peddle it,” Mhlongo added.

Health24.com | Casual sex among students more intimate than previously thought

You Need Posted on by

Intimacy plays a larger role in casual sex among college students than previously thought, a new US study reports.

Researchers analysed the results of an online survey that asked several hundred students at a university in the Northeast about their romantic relationships and casual sex.

More cuddling than expected

As expected, affectionate and intimate activities – such as cuddling, spending the night, eye gazing and foreplay – were more common in relationship sex than in casual sex, but the rate of these acts in casual sex was much higher than anticipated.

While women were more likely to engage in intimate acts, there were no gender differences in terms of eye gazing and foreplay.

“We have a stereotype that casual sex [hook-ups] are just about meaningless sex, but this research shows this is not necessarily true,” said study author Ann Merriwether, a developmental psychologist and lecturer at Binghamton University in New York.

Affection and intimacy

The study “shows intimacy is important and desired by many people, especially those who prefer hook-ups to more traditional relationships,” she added in a university news release.

A survey question that asked students if they prefer casual sex or sex in a long-term relationship led to a surprising finding.

“Young adults who indicated they prefer casual sexual encounters over relationship sex were more likely to want affection and intimacy from them. This suggests they seek to meet their need for intimacy through those casual encounters,” said study co-author Sean Massey, a social psychologist and associate professor of women, gender, and sexuality studies at Binghamton.

The study was a collaboration involving researchers at Binghamton and Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute. It was published recently in the Journal of Relationships Research.

Sport24.co.za | ‘I have a future without Manchester United,’ says Mourinho

You Need Posted on by

London – Jose Mourinho said on Wednesday he has a “future without Manchester United”, speaking for the first time since he was sacked by the Premier League club.

The Old Trafford hierarchy sacked Mourinho in the aftermath of Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at Anfield that left the 20-times champions an embarrassing 19 points behind league leaders Liverpool after just 17 matches.

But the former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan boss refused to go into details about his departure.

“I don’t change. And what I did when I left Chelsea, for example, is the same as that I’m going to do now,” Mourinho told Sky Sports News.

“I keep the good things and I don’t speak about anything that happened in the club.

“We could speak about so many good things. It’s finished” he added.

“Manchester United has a future without me and I have a future without Manchester United, so why should I now be sharing with you or even with the supporters, any of my feelings?

“It’s over. That’s me and that’s the way I’ve always been and I was always very critical of managers that leave clubs and then they come out and they speak about details of what happened and who is to blame for this kind of situation — that’s not me. I just want to finish, it happened yesterday and I’d like to say it’s game over.

“And I just hope that you media respect this. Until I get back to football I think I have the right to live my normal life, like I’m going to do now. I go for my little shopping, I go for my little walk and that’s what I want to do. Manchester United is the past.”

Former United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was announced as Mourinho’s temporary replacement on Wednesday.

News24.com | Sun City Resort mostly back to normal in wake of devastating storm

You Need Posted on by

Sun City Resort says everything is largely back to normal following the devastating storm that wreaked havoc there, causing flooding and damage to the popular holiday destination over the weekend.

“We worked through the night on Saturday, Sunday and Monday to turn the resort around, and guests and visitors arriving at Sun City now would not realise that a storm of this magnitude took place,” the resort’s group executive Raul de Lima said in a statement.

De Lima said there was now very little visible damage remaining.

“Our insurance mobilised very quickly, sending their assessors on Sunday to begin the job of quantifying the damage. They understand it was a freak storm and we are covered for that,” he said.

PICS: Massive storm batters Sun City Resort, guests evacuated, told to go home

De Lima said that the Sun City Convention Centre had suffered substantial damage, but fortunately no conferences had been booked to take place at this time of the year. He said they were working to get the facilities back into running order before conferences began in mid-January. 

The pool at The Palace was open again to residents only, and restaurants, bars, and the Valley of the Waves were all operational again, he said.

“There are some rooms out of commission, due to the flooding. Four-hundred rooms were out of commission by Saturday evening, and roughly half are back in inventory. I estimate that there will be about 120 rooms that we won’t be able to put back in the next two to three weeks, due to extensive damage, but we’ve mobilised contractors and assessors are quantifying the losses; so work started in earnest on Tuesday morning to get these rooms back into operation as soon as possible,” he said.

De Lima added that the Soho Hotel – the resort’s main hotel – had suffered the greatest damage to its rooms.

He said an insurance assessment conducted on Tuesday had indicated that the damage was greater than anticipated.

“As a result, the Soho Hotel will not be taking any new bookings until January 7, 2018.” 

19 December 2018 – SARS Customs busts equate to approximately R90 million

You Need Posted on by

Pretoria, 19 December 2018 – In two separate incidents, the South African Revenue Customs officials intercepted Acetanthranil – a substance used or linked to manufacturing Mandrax – that weighted 1600kg and another 1581kg, respectively, estimated at R90-million at OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) in the past two days.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) Forensic Services Laboratory (FSL) confirmed the substance with an estimated street value of R90 million rands.
SARS handed over the consignments to SAPS for further investigations.

In another incident at ORTIA on Friday last week, a consignment of 241 920 Sexual Enhancements Tablets, valued at R24 192 000.00, were intercepted during inspection.  The goods were handed over to Port Health for further investigation.

In Durban early last week, a foreign national who had offered a bribe of R200 000 to a SARS Customs officer appeared in the Durban Specialised Commercial Crime Court. The suspect had intended to use the bribe to have a detained truck and its load of alcohol, Customs & Excise Duties on the alcohol was R1 200 000.00, released.

At the time of the arrest, the suspect was in possession of a false invoice, alleging that the alcohol had been supplied by a Gauteng-based known liquor chain store.
Upon further enquiry, the suspect failed to provide a reasonable explanation or evidence of where the load of alcohol had been obtained. As a result, the officers issued the suspect with a Letter of Intent to seize both the truck and the load.

It must be stressed that while no country is immune to these crimes, SARS, as the agency responsible for revenue collection, will always be a target for criminals. Tackling corruption effectively is imperative for SARS as we continue on our journey to rebuild trust. As such, the Customs officer at Durban who refused the bribe is commended for having headed the call not to be corrupted.
