Sport24.co.za | Willemse: I’ve reached out to Nick, Naas

You Need Posted on by

2018-07-10 14:47

Cape Town – Former Springbok wing Ashwin Willemse says he’s reached out to fellow SuperSport presenters Nick Mallett and Naas Botha.

In May, Willemse walked off a live SuperSport set, accusing fellow analysts Mallett and Botha of “patronising” and “undermining” him.

SuperSport’s subsequent investigation into the matter found no racism on the part of Willemse co-workers.

Willemse would not engage with SuperSport in the broadcaster’s own investigation into the incident and instead said he would take the matter to the equality court, insisting that racism was at the core of the stand-off.

On Tuesday, he was interviewed by Eusebius McKaiser of Radio702 where he explained his decision to remain silent on the matter up to this point.

In the interview, Willemse also said he stood by his view that the incident was rooted in racism.

“I’ve reached out to Nick and Naas because I’ve seen the effect on my family, and so I can understand (it would be the same for them). I don’t think it will compromise the process unfolding… I reached out on the premise of reconciliation. I would engage in the same spirit with all parties involved, including employers SuperSport. It’s now about the restoration and provision for people’s equality and human rights to be respected.”

Willemse confirmed he was advised by his legal representatives to take the matter to the equality court.

“Upon reflection, I have indicated to my legal team that we should honour, and we will to that effect write to the human rights commission that we would honour the submission that SuperSport has indicated that they would now send to the human rights commission, based on the report and the findings of Advocate Maleka and that process… so we will honour that and participate in that process, ensuring we can deal with that matter because I will be allowed to go there and engage it at that appropriate forum. And in that process hopefully restore my dignity.

“I’m hoping that the process undertaken will legitimise or illegitimise what we believe is our genuine pain. I’ve been clear to SuperSport that I believe that this incident was rooted in racism, and their unwillingness to accept that is not my doing. So, let’s take this to an appropriate forum, and let an institution that is there for the purpose of dealing with these matters tell me whether or not I have legitimate reason to feel the pain that I have.”

eNCA | Numsa concerned with reports that Eskom is splurging on executives

You Need Posted on by

JOHANNESBURG – Numsa’s general secretary Irvin Jim’s concerned about various media reports that cash-strapped Eskom‘s been splurging money on senior staff.

Executives have allegedly been receiving unlimited free petrol.

UPDATE: Eskom ups its wage offer

“There have been a couple of issues that worried us. I mean last week we would have appreciated that the Business Day would have revealed a couple of serious stuff around packs for managers, and the senior employment of another person who is going to be very expensive….we’re here objectively to negotiate,” said Jim.

News24.com | LIVE: Cheers, applause as 13 trapped in Thai cave rescued after 2 weeks

You Need Posted on by

11 out of Thai cave, hopes rise all will survive – (AFP)

Three more people were rescued from a flooded Thai cave on Tuesday, officials said, bringing to 11 the number saved and raising hopes all members of the young football team who became trapped 18 days ago would survive.

Two more were still inside the cave but authorities were confident of getting them out by Tuesday evening through a claustrophobic network of tunnels that in some places were completely filled with water.

The hoped-for final chapter in an ordeal that has gripped the world came after elite foreign divers and Thai Navy SEALs escorted eight members of the “Wild Boars” football team out of the Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand on Sunday and Monday.

Then on Tuesday afternoon multiple sources involved in the operation said three more had been escorted out. However, it was not clear if the 25-year-old coach was among them or if he remained inside.

The 12 boys, aged from 11 to 16, and their coach, ventured into the cave on June 23 after football practice and got caught deep inside when heavy rains caused flooding that trapped them on a muddy ledge.

They spent nine harrowing days trapped in darkness until two British divers found them.

Authorities then struggled to devise a safe plan to get them out, mulling ideas such as drilling holes into the mountain or waiting months until monsoon rains ended and they could walk out.

With oxygen levels in their chamber falling to dangerous levels and complete flooding of the cave system possible, rescuers pushed ahead with the least-worst option of having divers escort them out through the extremely narrow and water-filled tunnels.

The ups and downs of the rescue bid has entranced Thailand and also fixated a global audience, drawing support from celebrities as varied as US President Donald Trump, football star Lionel Messi and tech guru Elon Musk.

The emergence of the second batch of four boys on Monday evening was greeted with a simple “Hooyah” by the SEAL team on their Facebook page, an exclamation that lit up Thai social media.

Positive medical reports on the rescued group further fuelled the sense of joy and optimism.

“All eight are in good health, no fever… everyone is in a good mental state,” Jedsada Chokdamrongsuk, permanent secretary of the public health ministry, said at Chiang Rai hospital where the boys were recuperating on Tuesday morning.

However, the boys will remain in quarantine until doctors were sure they had not contracted any infections from inside the cave.

Experts warned that drinking contaminated water or otherwise being exposed to bird or bat droppings in the cave could lead to dangerous infections.

But the early signs on the initial eight were promising, with X-rays and blood tests showing just two had signs of pneumonia and that they were in a “normal state” after taking antibiotics, Jedsada said.

Some had even asked for “bread and chocolate spread”, he added.

News24.com | Family of missing Cape Town businessman appeals to kidnappers to release him ‘unharmed’

You Need Posted on by

The family of missing Cape Town businessman Liyaqat Parker have appealed for him to be released as soon as possible.

“Our father and brother is an elderly man so we also appeal to those who may be involved or know persons who may be connected with this crime, to just please release him unharmed before his health deteriorates,” they said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon.

Parker, 65, was allegedly kidnapped by five unknown males around 09:10 at his business in Fairway Close, in N1 City, on Monday.

“Liyaqat is a devoted family man, a known astute businessman who built up the business through sheer hard work over many years, a community worker and philanthropist, having served as a member of The Friends of the Children’s Hospital Association for several years,” his family said.

They thanked the community for the outpouring of support they had received since his disappearance.

At the same time, they asked for the space and time to process the trauma.

‘Working around the clock’

A double cab light delivery vehicle had followed Parker as he was driving into the basement.

The armed men apparently forced the security guard at the gate into the toilet cubicle, where they took his cellphone and locked him up.

“They then continued into the basement where they forced the businessman into their vehicle and drove off in an unknown direction,” said Western Cape police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk.

He said detectives were following up on all leads and “working around the clock” to find him, as experts combed the area where he was last seen for clues.

Cases of armed robbery and kidnapping were being investigated.

Parker is a founding member of the Food Property Group.

He is a board member of Al-Amien Foods and a non-executive board member of Brimstone Investment.

Jamiatul Ulama, the South Africa Council of Muslim Theologians, had on Tuesday expressed concern at another apparent kidnapping.

“There has been a spate of kidnappings over the past two years. As such, our community is troubled and concerned by such suspected cases of kidnapping, which were once rare, but [are] now seemingly taking a pattern,” said its secretary general Ebrahim Bham.

He said Parker’s disappearance followed that of another prominent businessman and community member, Shiraz Gattoo, who had been missing since March 10.

‘Criminal elements involved in kidnappings’

“We have been made to understand that a Durban-based businessman was also kidnapped a few weeks ago and is still missing.”

Just under a year ago, on July 25, 2017, three armed men kidnapped Sadeck Zhaun Ahmed, who owns Zhauns Business Opportunity Machines in Woodstock, Cape Town.

He was eventually released at the end of August.

Muslim Judicial Council spokesperson Mishka Daries said that they had sent their sympathies to the Parker family and his colleagues.

“The family though has decided to deal with the tragedy privately. We respect their request but will avail ourselves when (if) they need our assistance,” she said.

“We continue to pray for Mr Parker’s safe return and appeal to the authorities to do everything in their power to find him swiftly.”

Jamiatul Ulama appealed to the police and law enforcement agencies to prioritise these cases “in order to stymie any criminal elements that are involved in kidnappings”.

“We pray for the safety of the kidnapped community members so that they can return and reunite with their families,” said Bham.

Police urged anyone with information regarding the suspects or witnesses to the incident to contact the investigating officer, Constable Chesron de Vries, on 082 493 8472 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
