eNCA | I want to inspire African girls: Caster Semenya

You Need Posted on by

BRISBANE, Australia – South Africa’s Caster Semenya dedicated her 800-metre gold at the Commonwealth Games to the rural youth of Africa on Friday on the Gold Coast, Australia.

If ever there was a golden banker for Team South Africa at these Games, it was going to be the double Olympic 800m and reigning world champion.

She led from start to finish before wiping out the 16-year-old Commonwealth record of Seychelles athlete Joanna Houareau.

That mark of 1min 57.35  was set in Manchester, England back in 2002 and Semenya clipped 0.67sec off that mark with her victory in 1:56.68.

Runner-up was Kenya’s Margaret Wambui, a long way back in 1:58.07.

In third place was Natoya Goule, the Jamaican who ran a personal best of 1:58.82.

“You know, sometimes when you are winning all the time you run out of emotions,” said Semenya. 

“So this win is actually not about me but it’s for all the African girls coming from the rural areas who don’t believe this is possible.

“But anything is possible… I want this to inspire them and let them believe in themselves.”

Particularly hard-hitting words as Semenya herself comes from the poor rural communities in the Limpopo province in South Africa.

“Obviously, I’d like to do this 800/1500m double at the next world championships and Olympics and I’ll probably be more emotional then but this is like a ladder, another step upwards.”

Going back to her roots she said: “People can see on my social media the work I’m doing. When I go back they know what I’m doing.

“It’s very important to wake up, make your bed, face the world and work hard so that people take you seriously. And you also have to love yourself. Learn to love yourself, that’s very important.”

Her gold medal boosted South Africa’s tally to 35 – 13 gold, 10 silver and 12 bronze, just five short of their tally in Glasgow, Scotland four years ago and with two days of competition still remaining.

News24.com | SA woman dies in UK after being accused of faking illness to avoid deportation

You Need Posted on by

A South African woman died in London after immigration officers allegedly unlawfully detained her and accused her of faking an illness to avoid deportation. 

The Guardian reported on Thursday, that Nancy Motsamai, 35, collapsed at Heathrow airport on March 7, as she was escorted to a flight back to South Africa. 

An immigration official questioned whether she was really sick and she and her husband were detained overnight. 

Motsamai died on March 12 after developing a blood clot in her leg. 

The Guardian further reported that the couple had lived and worked in the UK legally for more than a decade. 

The woman’s husband, Fusi Motsamai, also 35, told the publication that the Home Office failed to promptly release her passport so that her body could be transported to her home country for burial.

According to Motsamai’s husband, when she tried to explain that she did not feel well, an official told her “he would handcuff her hands and feet and make her walk to the plane like a penguin”, inews.co.uk reported.

The husband received a letter of apology from the Home Office on Wednesday. 

EWN reported on Friday that the family plans to sue UK authorities.

“To them, we were just numbers, part of a statistic that would assist them in cutting migrants entering the country,” he told EWN.

News24 tried to reach the husband for comment but was unsuccessful.

Sport24.co.za | Semenya defiant after sweeping to Commonwealth double

You Need Posted on by

Gold Coast – South Africa’s Caster Semenya shrugged off controversy over her right to compete after completing a Commonwealth Games double with victory in the women’s 800 metres on Friday.

The 27-year-old, who identifies as a woman but has elevated testosterone levels, dedicated her gold medal to the late Winnie Mandela after her crushing win.

Elsewhere on the Gold Coast, English tabloid darling Tom Daley captured diving gold before weighing in on gay rights, while 15-year-old shooter Anish Bhanwala became India’s youngest ever Commonwealth champion.

At the athletics, England’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson won heptathlon gold, but New Zealand’s Valerie Adams failed to take a fourth straight shot put crown, the mighty Kiwi settling for silver.

Semenya, who won the 1 500m title earlier this week, smashed her rivals once again to clock a Games record of one minute, 56.68 seconds.

After the race, she revealed how anti-apartheid hero Mandela, who died two weeks ago after a long illness, had helped her through adversity.

“She was a friend and always told me to be myself, to love myself – don’t listen to the noise, don’t entertain nonsense,” said Semenya. “To just go out and show the world what I can do.”

Semenya left Kenya’s Margaret Nyairera Wambui for dead coming off the final bend to win with plenty to spare as Jamaica’s Natoya Goule took bronze.

However, questions persist over whether Semenya should be allowed to compete because of her hyperandrogenism, which some feel gives her an unfair advantage.

“I understand how to handle emotions, how to handle negativity and turn it into positivity,” said the world champion.

“I’ve had to learn how to manage it myself, how to face the world. It’s not about what other people think of me, it’s about how I think of myself.”

Johnson-Thompson secured the second leg of what she hopes will be a golden treble.

Health24.com | Super drug-resistant gonorrhoea spreading across the globe

You Need Posted on by

Earlier this year, doctors diagnosed a “patient zero” in England with a case of gonorrhoea that could not be cured with antibiotics commonly deployed against the sexually transmitted bacteria.

Americans should expect that a super-resistant form of gonorrhoea like that found in the United Kingdom will soon reach these shores, health experts say. The same applies to South Africa and the rest of the world.

An inexorable process

This was shocking to the public, but not unexpected to those in the know, health officials said. According to an article in the New York Post, doctors and scientists have been warning for years that the bacteria that cause gonorrhoea are becoming more resistant to antibiotics.

“The development of antibiotic resistance by gonorrhoea is an inexorable process,” said Dr Edward Hook, an infectious disease expert with the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “It began soon after the first antibiotics were used to treat gonorrhoea, and has continued since that time. It’s progressive and relatively predictable.”

Unless new antibiotics are developed against gonorrhoea, or a vaccine created, these kinds of extreme cases will begin showing up in the United States, said Hook.

Dr Bruce Farber agreed. He is chief of infectious diseases at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York, and at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York.

“Resistant gonorrhoea already is all over the United States,” Farber said. “It’s maybe not a strain like that you’ve just read about from the UK, which is extraordinary, but nevertheless generally these cases are occurring.”

A previous Health24 article states that treatment failure of gonorrhoea in the case of third-generation cephalosporins has already been confirmed in South Africa.

‘The clap’

Gonorrhoea, also called “the clap”, is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases worldwide.

It infects an estimated 78 million people globally each year, according to the World Health Organization.

In the United States, gonorrhoea is on the rise, jumping nearly 19% in 2016 from the year before, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr Amesh Adalja is a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in Baltimore. “Rates of gonorrhoea are increasing and are tied to unsafe sexual behaviours, and these resistant strains could make inroads into the gonorrhoea epidemic in the US,” he said.

“Highly antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea is one of the most urgent infectious disease threats we face. There truly is the prospect of clinicians encountering untreatable strains of the bacteria,” Adalja warned.

13 April 2018 – Drugs valued at over R30 million bust at OR Tambo this week

You Need Posted on by

Pretoria, 13 April 2018 – South African Revenue Service (SARS) Customs officials at OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) this week confiscated 108kg of drugs which were hidden in boxes and declared as ‘calcium carbonate’.

Officials inspected the boxes in the cargo section at ORTIA after they arrived from Kenya on Tuesday. They discovered a white powdery substance and a brown sand-like substance, which they sent to a private laboratory for testing. The results came back positive for the drug ketamine (the white powdery substance) and Acetylanthranil, a base ingredient for Methaqualone (mandrax).

The case has been handed over to the Hawks for further investigation.

In another incident, a truck leaving Lesotho was stopped yesterday (12 April) at Ficksburg border post in the Free State and searched after the driver acted suspiciously. Customs officials then discovered 207 bags filled with cannabis weighing over 6000kg. The total value of the cannabis is over R9million. The driver was taken into police custody.

  • Alcohol: 269 busts valued at R4 647 665

Some of the high-profile busts which took place during this period include a special high-visibility joint operation, led by SARS Customs and involving various government agencies, in Cape Town on 1 and 2 March 2018.

It resulted in 46 busts of goods with a value of R33 229 233. The biggest bust of the operation was the discovery of uncut crystal methamphetamine (tik) with an estimate value of R30-million stashed in fridges on a truck which arrived in Cape Town from Johannesburg.

In the same truck, a large amount of suspected counterfeit clothing was also discovered. The truck driver was arrested.
