News24.com | Ramaphosa receives warm reception at Cosatu’s May Day rally
The jubilant screams and cheers for ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa at Cosatu’s May Day rally were a stark contrast to last year’s heckling of then president Jacob Zuma, which eventually led to the cancelation of the event.
“This is the day when all of us, as South Africans, take off our hats and say ‘thank you’,” said Ramaphosa as he too removed his black baseball cap while addressing the trade union members.
“Thank you for all the work that you do… because in the end you are the people that make South Africa work,” he declared.
“We say to you: ‘We respect you; we love you; we support you; we want to continue walking this journey with you’.”
Ramaphosa’s gesture inspired a warm response in the crowd.
Last year, Cosatu was forced to abort its main May Day rally in Bloemfontein on Monday after Zuma was prevented from delivering the keynote address.
At the time, the unrelenting crowd sang anti-Zuma songs which escalated when Zuma arrived at the venue. There was also a scuffle between supporters and those against Zuma.
In an unprecedented move, after several failed attempts by provincial leaders to calm the crowd, Cosatu then announced an end to the 2017 event with no speeches delivered.
At Tuesday’s event Ramaphosa used his speech to defend the national minimum wage.
He said that while the stipulation of R20 an hour was not a living wage, it was a move which would lift 6.6 million workers who were currently earning below this.
“Even as we were negotiating this, we know this is not a minimum wage – but we said that we need to form a foundation, so that we can keep going up.”
He said that if the minimum amount had been too high, too many people would have lost jobs and companies would have to close.
“The struggle for a living wage must continue but we must start somewhere,” he asserted.
Ramphosa also paid tribute to the ANC’s alliance partners, Cosatu and the SA Communist Party – as well as the SA National Civic Organisation (Sanco).
“We are grateful, that indeed we do have an alliance in our country because this is the alliance that takes South Africa forward.”
‘Services should continue’
Ramaphosa also said that while the right to strike had to be protected, important services had to be allowed to continue, and property that belonged to all citizens was not damaged.
“Recently, where there has been strikes and protests, we have found some workers have been preventing other workers from doing important work such as helping women to give birth or helping newly-born babies.”
Moreover, torching vehicles and burning buildings was counterproductive, he said.
“Let us also be careful not to damage the assets that belong to all of us.
“Let us have that humanity, that even when we are on strike, certain services are important.”
Ramaphosa ended his speech by making a call for a single federation to govern all unions.
“As the ANC, we long and look forward to the day when the workers in our country will be united under one federation – so that we can have one country and one federation.”
He said that this would allow all workers to be “talking in one voice” rather than “talking against each other and marching against each other”.
Saftu gains power
The SA Federation of Trade Unions, a breakaway from Cosatu, has recently gained significantly in power in the sector; holding countrywide strikes last week.
Earlier, the SA Communist Party General Secretary Blade Nzimande told those gathered at Tuesday’s event that while the party supported Cosatu, it would also reach out to other worker groupings.
“Cosatu is our ally but we are going to reach out to other progressive worker formations.
“You can’t have a trade union federation that goes on a strike by attacking other worker federations. That is against worker unity,” he said.
eNCA | Throwback Tuesday, Gupta edition: 5 years after the wedding taxpayers paid for
JOHANNESBURG – Five years ago the Guptas flew into South Africa for a lavish family wedding.
A private jet landed at the government’s Waterkloof Air Force Base on 30 April 2013 with more than 200 passengers on board.
The group then attended a four-day celebration at Sun City in North West.
Free State government funds set aside for poor farmers paid for the multimillion-rand party.
Gallery: Gupta wedding glamour and glitz
A few of the guests on board a private jet that landed at Waterkloof were Indian government ministers, but most of the guests were civilians, meaning the landing flouted protocol.
The South African public’s response was vehement, sparking scrutiny of the Guptas and their proximity to then President Jacob Zuma.
Half a decade later, we know a lot more.
The glitzy nuptials of Vega Gupta, a niece of the Gupta brothers, featured in lifestyle media, showing that Bollywood stars and VIP guests were present.
KPMGCEO Moses Kgosana raved about the ceremony in a letter to Atul Gupta.
Zuma was invited but did not attend.
WATCH: Lessons to learn from KPMG
The multimillion-rand wedding bill included:
- R7,000 for berries;
- R13,000 for chocolate truffles;
- R21,000 for ice cream;
- A fireworks display costing R310,000; and
- R470,000 for drinks.
Tens of millions of Free State government funds paid for the lavish wedding.
That money was supposed to have benefited black farmers through the Estina Dairy Project.
Last year, details emerged of the money trail.

According to Craig McKune of the amaBhungane Investigative Journalism Centre, “The Guptas laundered the money offshore through Dubai, and brought it back to South Africa, where it landed with a company called Linkway, which was audited by KPMG.
“We did an article on that after the GuptaLeaks broke, and we showed how money that was supposed to benefit poor farmers instead went to pay for the Gupta wedding. And we asked serious questions of KPMG.”
A 2017 KPMG international investigation found the Linkway auditing was poor.
Yet it found no evidence of dishonesty or unethical behaviour by KPMG South Africa staff.
In September, the firm pledged R40-million to education and anti-corruption work. The amount was based on the total fees KPMG earned from Gupta-related entities.
Eight senior executives quit.
How did the Guptas manage to land a private jet at an airforce base? And on whose instructions were officials breaking the rules? Days after the 2013 landing the government announced an investigation.
The fall guy that emerged was Vusi Bruce Koloane, then chief of state protocol.
Koloane argued the flight was a sensitive official visit.
An investigation found he had used Zuma’s name illegally to clear the landing.
Koloane was suspended over the Guptagate scandal, but soon won a plum job as South Africa’s ambassador to the Netherlands, in 2014.
READ: What now for Koloane?
The ring around the politically connected Guptas appears to be tightening.
In February, authorities raided the family’s Saxonwold, Johannesburg home in connection with the Estina dairy project.
Days later, eight suspects appeared in court and were released on bail.
The matter was postponed until 17 August.

News24.com | WATCH: Game reserve owner hospitalised after being mauled by a lion (WARNING: NOT FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS)
The owner of a private game reserve near Thabazimbi in Limpopo has been hospitalised after being mauled by one of his lions.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe told News24 that the incident happened on Monday.
“The owner was immediately taken to hospital with serious injuries. He is currently recuperating.”
Ngoepe said the man sustained injuries to his neck and jaw.
In a short video clip, the man is seen walking behind the lion in a den. The lion quickly spots him and chases him as he runs for a metal gate. The lion then drags him into nearby bushes where he then lies motionless.
An onlooker can be heard screaming: “Somebody help, please! Oh my God!”
A couple of gunshots can also be heard in the background.
Attempts by News24 to contact the game reserve were unsuccessful.

Sport24.co.za | Vettel defends overtake attempt on Bottas
Cape Town – Sebastian Vettel has defended his attempted pass for the lead on Valtteri Bottas and is using his experience to block out the criticism.
Similar to events in China, Vettel found himself in control of the race in Baku until Bottas slowly crept into contention by extracting excellent pace from his old supersoft tyres.
The Safety Car caused by Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen’s collision gave Bottas the opportunity for a free pit stop and retain the race lead with Vettel caught behind in P2.
On the restart, Vettel tried a daring move to re-take the lead at Turn 1, but was forced deep after locking up his tyres and eventually fell to a P4 finish as a result.
Vettel was questioned about whether the move on Bottas was actually possible, but he insists that the opportunity was there.
“I think without the lock up and braking at the same point without the lock up as it was quite bumpy there I think I would have made the corner and it turns out to be a good move,” Vettel said.
“It is easy to say not it was not the right move and it didn’t work. I had to try, I tried and it didn’t work. I tried because I saw the gap. In the end I am the captain on board and it just didn’t work.”
Vettel also said that his vast experience in Formula 1 means he has learned not to listen to those detracting voices around him and just focus on enjoying his racing.“I think you grow up, you change your view on some things, you get hopefully a bit wiser, so your horizon changes and also your motivation is different,” Vettel added.
“Maybe you are looking at things a bit differently.
“I think the most important [thing] is that you know who you are and you’re true to yourself, then I think you can afford to listen less to what’s going on around and not be distracted and simply enjoy your racing. “If you want to fight at the front, you cannot afford to do many mistakes, and for whoever is at the top and was at the top in the past for many years usually has a high level and there’s a lot of effort going into it, not just putting everything together at the track but also away from the track.”
Health24.com | Hair colour genes discovery offers clues to skin cancer
Scientists have recently uncovered more than 100 new genes linked to hair colour, a discovery which could advance knowledge of skin cancer and other diseases.
The findings, published in Nature Genetics, could also help forensic scientists use DNA samples to identify the natural hair colour of unidentified criminals.
Link between pigmentation and health
In the largest ever genetic study on pigmentation, which includes skin and hair, researchers analysed DNA data from almost 300 000 people of European descent.
By comparing self-reported hair colour with genetic make-up – stored at several million locations across the human genome – the team identified 124 genes involved in the development of hair colour.
Inherited factors account for 97% of colour variation for hair and skin, but only a dozen relevant genes had been previously identified.
“The link between pigmentation and health is very important in the evolution of the human race,” said co-author Veronique Bataille from King’s College London.
It was found that some of the genes that influence pigmentation are connected to several types of cancers (including testicular, prostate and ovarian cancers), and others are related to Crohn’s and other forms of bowel disease.
“Knowing more about these genes can be important not just for skin cancer but also for other conditions, like auto-immune diseases.”
‘Gentlemen prefer blondes’
The discovery could give police investigators a boost, the researchers said.
“If after a crime, police have a DNA sample but no idea who they are looking for, knowing with far more certainty what colour hair they have could increase the chance of finding them,” said co-author Manfred Kayser from Erasmus MC University Medical Centre in Rotterdam.
The study also confirmed that women are more likely to have lighter hair than men.
Earlier research has speculated that when early Europeans migrated north, women evolved to have lighter hair than men, most likely in response to male sexual preference.
“Our study confirms in very large sample sizes that there must have been a selection towards fair-haired females,” said Bataille. “It’s fascinating in terms of human history and sexual behaviour.”
The once popular expression “gentlemen prefer blondes”, in other words, may be grounded in an ancient evolutionary imperative.
“Maybe it is still happening now, we don’t know.”
“Our work helps us to understand what causes human diversity in appearance by showing how genes involved in pigmentation subtly adapted to external environments and even social interactions during our evolution,” added co-author Tim Spector from King’s College London.
