Cape Town – Roodepoort Rugby Club has released a statement regarding the alleged racist attack involving their players in a club match against Wanderers last month.
The incident occurred during an under-21 match between the two Johannesburg clubs on Wednesday, April 25.
Wanderers released a statement claiming that racial and verbal abuse was directed towards their players by Roodepoort spectators and players.
Wanderers also claimed that Roodepoort players used the K-word towards black players in their team.
The matter is currently being investigated by the Golden Lions Rugby Union’s disciplinary committee, but Roodepoort released a statement of their own on Friday.
Roodepoort said they conducted an internal investigation which could not verify any of the claims made by Wanderers.
The club added that they would wait on the outcome of the disciplinary hearing before making further comment.
The statement released by Roodepoort read:
Roodepoort Rugby Club (RRC) has completed an internal investigation regarding the incident that took place on Wednesday 25 April 2018 during the match between RRC U21 and Wanderers U21.
The club has conducted a preliminary investigation internally and have not been able to verify the claims made by Wanderers.
Wanderers have also not been able to supply us with any evidence to prove their statements. As it stands it is all conjecture and hearsay until all claims that have been made are proven or disproved by the current investigation of the Golden Lions Rugby Union (GLRU) Disciplinary Committee.
We have been informed by the GLRU that the committee has started its work and will be calling witnesses in the next few weeks. As previously stated we are taking our lead from the GLRU and would appreciate it if a more balanced statement or article could be published indicating that it is all hearsay and that as yet no evidence of wrongdoing by Roodepoort players has been proven.
The management team at Roodepoort Rugby Club await the outcome of the GLRU Disciplinary Committee and will abide by the Committee’s ruling.
VERULAM – Religious leaders and one of the survivors of a deadly attack on a Durban mosque say there is no doubt in their minds the attack was a terrorist attack by the likes of an organisation like the Islamic State (Isis).
A survivor of the attack said the attackers entered the mosque by saying they wanted to pray but after praying, they attacked and killed one person.
The Hawks has taken over the investigation of the attack.
The elite crime-fighting unit said earlier the attack shows signs of extremism.
“At this stage, the motive is still unknown. Hawks members attended the crime scene, there were elements of extremism. We are working together with crime-fighting units to find the perpetrators,” says Simphiwe Mhlongo, KZN Hawks Spokesperson.
#MosqueAttack Hawks says this attack has elements of extreminism

Each year more than 25 million women around the world have unsafe abortions, according to a report launched on Wednesday by the Guttmacher-Lancet Commission in Johannesburg.
And while the report, intended to put sexual and reproductive health and rights on top of the global public health agenda, praises South Africa’s liberal abortion laws, activists have lambasted the government for failing to turn policy into a reality on the ground.
“We have roughly 8 000 health facilities, how many of them offer termination of pregnancy?” asked Justice Edwin Cameron at the launch. “Only 270, that’s just 7%.”
Extremely limited access to abortion
Referring to a recent Amnesty International report that noted that less than one in 10 of South African public health facilities offers women access to their legally-entrenched right to terminate their pregnancies, Cameron criticised Minister of Health Aaron Motsoaledi for public comments he has made in the past implying that women use abortion as a means of contraception.
“How do we go from this beautifully drafted Mandela-era statute to implementation?” he asked, referring to the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act signed into law by former health minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zumu over two decades ago in 1996 under the presidency of Nelson Mandela.
According to head of Section27 Mark Heywood this “extremely limited” access to abortion in the country “is a violation of women’s human rights that ultimately leads to loss of life” as many women seek out illegal abortion providers as their only accessible option.
Illegal abortions have high complication rates including death. According to the report almost 7-million women “in developing countries sought treatment for complications from an unsafe induced abortion in 2012”.
Another major hurdle
Dr Manala Makua, acting director for women, child and sexual and reproductive health at the National Department of Health told Health-e News that they are aware of the problem but that opposition from certain parties and health workers “are hurdles”.
In December 2017 the African Christian Democratic Party put forward a bill in Parliament aimed at further decreasing access to abortion in the country.
Makua said that the department’s rejection of this bill, which would require women seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound and see their foetus, should be heralded as a “success”.
“We can’t afford any more restrictions,” she admitted.
She said that the another major “hurdle” is that many health workers refused to perform abortions on moral, religious and cultural grounds.
“But termination of pregnancy has nothing to do with morality and is an extremely complex issue that can often be related to contraception failure and gender-based violence,” she said.
Women facing stigma
She added that the department was facilitating bi-annual national workshops with health workers on “values clarifications” and “debriefing” because “providers need support”.
“They need debriefing and motivation to keep going and to understand the context of women seeking these services,” she said.
But Heywood said that while these trainings “are important, they are just not enough”.
“We need a public commitment from the Minister of Health that this is a serious problem.”
He compared the stigma that women seeking abortions in South Africa face to the stigma experienced by people “in the old days of HIV”.
He said: “The Department of Health needs to conduct a proper audit of abortion access at health facilities as a matter of urgency because this is a pervasive but unrecognised disaster, a disaster predominantly affecting poor black women.” – Health-e News.
