eNCA | EXCLUSIVE: Julius Malema speaks on recent political developments

You Need Posted on by

JOHANNESBURG – Julius Malema visited eNCA’s studios on Thursday to chat about recent political developments with anchor Vuyo Mvoko.

Malema once again reaffirmed that the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) had no interest in rejoining the ANC. But he affirmed the ANC’s recent stance on expropriation of land without compensation, and said the EFF felt it necessary to reward the ANC for this action.

READ: The time for land redress is now, Malema tells MPs

“We’re saying to Cyril’s ANC we don’t want to be part of you, we don’t want to work with you but since you’ve moved closer on a fundamental issue, you can be rewarded for good conduct when it comes to the issue of expropriation of land without compensation. (Buyt) you can’t get the two Metros (Johannesburg and Tshwane) because we still don’t trust you with issues of corruption,” said Malema.

Sport24.co.za | Du Plessis handed Blitzboks debut in Las Vegas

You Need Posted on by

Cape Town – Muller du Plessis will become Blitzbok No 168 this weekend when he takes to the field for the Springbok Sevens in the USA Sevens, to be played at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas.

Springbok Sevens coach Neil Powell included the 19-year-old in the final 12-man playing squad for the tournament, the fifth of the World Rugby Sevens Series, where Du Plessis will realise his dream to represent his country at this level.

Powell said it was an exciting time for the team. They will welcome Du Plessis into the fray and will also take to the field with two new sponsors on board, after Castle Free and FNB confirmed their support to the team.

“We are very thankful and hope to return that investment with a good performance,” said Powell.

“We have a number of young players in the squad and we have a very competitive pool, but we will do our best. They need to go out and play as this is the only way they will learn and develop.”

The Blitzboks face Wales (03:34 SA time) and Canada (06:35 SA time) early Saturday morning in Pool B.

“We will come up against two very different opponents on the first day,” said Powell.

“Wales are very elusive and like to throw the ball around, while the Canadians are very direct and physical. Hopefully we can give the younger players proper game time this weekend, but we need to start well to make that possible.”

The Springbok Sevens team for the HSBC USA Sevens:

1. Ryan Oosthuizen (4 tournaments, 12 matches, 0 points)

2. Philip Snyman (captain – 50 tournaments, 225 matches, 321 points, 58 tries)

3. Dylan Sage (19 tournaments, 104 matches, 110 points, 22 tries)

4. Zain Davids (7 tournaments, 25 matches, 10 points, 2 tries)

5. Werner Kok (33 tournaments, 165 matches, 370 points, 74 tries)

6. Kyle Brown (62 tournaments, 312 matches, 410 points, 82 tries)

7. Branco du Preez (58 tournaments, 291 matches, 1107 points, 81 tries)

8. Muller du Plessis (uncapped)

9. Selvyn Davids (1 tournament, 5 matches, 2 points)

10. Cecil Afrika (57 tournaments, 297 matches, 1368 points, 165 tries)

11. Siviwe Soyizwapi (13 tournaments, 59 matches, 180 points, 36 tries)

12. Stedman Gans (6 tournaments, 23 matches, 10 points, 2 tries)

eNCA | MPs to grill NPA, Hawks bosses over delayed Estina arrests

You Need Posted on by

JOHANNESBURG – National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Shaun Abrahams and acting Hawks head Yolisa Matakata will have to explain the delays in arresting suspects in the Gupta-linked Estina Dairy Farm case to Parliament.

The two will face a special joint meeting of the Justice and Police Portfolio committees on March 7.

On Wednesday, Matakata told Parliament’s Police Portfolio Committee, the National Prosecuting Authority delayed approving the arrests of suspects in the Estina Dairy Farm case.

READ: NPA expected to oppose Atul Gupta’s R10m court challenge

She said she does not know what caused the delay because the Hawks finalised its investigation in 2017.

The NPA only arrested the suspects in February.

Justice Portfolio Committee chairperson Mathole Matshekga said it is important to get the full picture.

“We cannot have the public doubt our institutions and, therefore, we need to get to the bottom of this. The NPA will have to explain why there was such a long delay,” Matshekga said.

“The efforts of the Hawks to fight organised crime should not be hampered by slow decision-making,” said Police Portfolio Committee chair, Francois Beukman.

“Prosecution-driven cases dealing with state capture and court-ready dockets should be prioritised. We are looking forward working with Dr Motshekga and the justice committee so that progress is made in this very important matter.”

News24.com | EFF hits back at DA over Equality Court threat

You Need Posted on by

Johannesburg – Undeterred by being hauled off to the Equality Court by its rival, the DA – the EFF is unapologetic and is going ahead with its plans to remove Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Athol Trollip, the party said on Friday. 

Spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said the EFF would table a motion of no confidence against Trollip on April 6 to “punish” the DA for voting in Parliament on Tuesday against the motion to change section 25 of the Constitution to allow for expropriation of land without compensation.

“No amount of deliberate misrepresentation of the CIC Julius Malema’s statements as hate speech will deter us from punishing the DA for their attitude on the land question,” Ndlozi said in a statement. 

The DA announced on Thursday that it would be reporting Malema to the Equality Court for what it deems to be hate speech and incitement of violence.

Read: DA to take Malema to Equality Court for ‘hate speech’

The DA quoted him as saying: “[We] are going to remove a mayor of PE… [we] are going for your white man in PE. We are going to cut the throat.”

In response, Ndlozi said Malema would not apologise as he used “throat-cutting” as a figure of speech for “unapologetically and unsympathetically removing Trollip to mirror their (DA’s) own unsympathetic attitude toward black land loss”.

‘If they lose Trollip, they should also lose other mayors’

“We use that metaphor to indicate that we are ending support for the DA due to its own racism. Because we have chosen to do this with Athol Trollip,” he said. 

He said the DA’s escalation of the fight to the Equality Court would lead to the party’s mayors in Johannesburg and Tshwane being removed. The EFF had earlier said those mayors, who are governing with the voting support of the EFF, were “safe for now”. 

“The point is, if they lose Trollip, they should also lose others, because other mayors are not white,” Ndlozi said.

He was referring to Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba and Tshwane Mayor Solly Msimanga. 

The EFF statement further stated that the party was irked by the DA’s disregard for colonialism and apartheid land dispossession, accusing DA MPs of making comments from the parliamentary benches that were insensitive to the loss of land by black people. 

Also read: Malema: DA is the ‘enemy of the people’ for not supporting land expropriation motion

“Each time the land question comes up, they deliberately disregard the evident and indisputable history of dispossession. Their argument, in essence, is that government must pay white people for land that was taken through a systematic crime against humanity,” he said. 

ANC must put up ‘a Mcebisi Jonas’ as a candidate

The EFF sponsored a motion for constitutional amendment to make possible land expropriation without compensation. The motion was amended by the ANC and was approved by 241 votes in favour and 83 against. 

“Therefore, we make no apology that we will go for Athol Trollip. We will remove him as a mayor to communicate, provoke and impress on all DA white members that sensitivity to land loss by black people is a fundamental requirement for leading anywhere in the country.

“Trollip is a national DA member who ought to know that there are implications to the conduct of the DA in Parliament to political decisions anywhere,” Ndlozi said. 

The party has reiterated that it will also not vote with the ANC if it puts forward what it calls a corrupt candidate. 

“We have given them a clear idea of the measure of a person that should lead Nelson Mandela Bay; such a person has to be a Mcebisi Jonas (former deputy finance minister) or come close to him in terms of integrity, anti-corruption and leadership qualities.” 

The city had been one of the most contended for metros in the build-up to the 2016 local government elections. The DA unseated the ANC by securing 57 seats in the 120-seat council, with the ANC winning just 50 seats.

The DA’s initial coalition included the UDM, but the party pulled out after its leader in the metro, Mongameli Bobani, was ousted as deputy mayor in 2017.

Empowerment deal for MetHealth, Thebe Health and Validate-Workerslife consortium

You Need Posted on by

Metropolitan Health Group (MetHealth), Thebe Health Group, Workerslife Group (an affiliate of the PGC Group of Companies) and Validate (a group of healthcare industry players) have entered into a strategic partnership where Thebe Health and the Validate/Workerslife consortium will own a 49% stake in MetHealth.

MetHealth (a division within the health solutions environment of MMI Holdings Limited) administers the Government Employees Medical Scheme and provides wellness services to a number of clients, covering over 1.8-million lives. The key strategic focus of MetHealth is to achieve financial wellness for public sector communities by enabling and delivering sustainable integrated outcomes-based healthcare solutions as a transformed organisation.

Financed through a combination of equity and vendor finance, the transaction creates an exciting partnership which will empower a broad range of stakeholders including the Popcru Trust and Thebe Health’s broad base of shareholders and beneficiaries.

Collaboration

“MetHealth is pleased and excited about the prospects that this partnership creates. We look forward, not only to creating value for our partners and their stakeholders, but also to continue to deliver reliable, effective and quality healthcare services to current and prospective members. We believe that this transaction will help strengthen the MMI health business to become an even more significant player in providing greater access to quality healthcare in South Africa. Ultimately, this partnership demonstrates the parties’ commitment to the socio-economic development of a broader base of South Africa’s population,” Hannes Viljoen, CEO of the MMI health business, says.

Thebe Health is a subsidiary of the pioneering black-owned investment company Thebe Investment Corporation. “Thebe has always been looking for strategic partners to grow its presence in the provision of sustainable healthcare services. This transaction will serve to strengthen and embed Thebe’s presence in this critical sector of our economy. We are very excited about this partnership and we believe that it is merely the beginning of what will be a long and enduring relationship,” executive chairman Vusi Khanyile says.

“We are delighted with this deal, as it is yet another bold step towards the transformation of the healthcare sector, which promises to bring dignity to the lives of ordinary South Africans. This partnership is in line with the organisation’s commitment to providing short and long-term financial support to our clients, while ensuring sustainable growth and value for our shareholders,” Zwi Mdletshe, Workerslife CEO says,

“Validate is a hands-on and value adding partner in all the healthcare and related investments that we participate in. The deal presents us with an opportunity to become a significant player in the South African healthcare industry. It will also help address the transformation agenda. The consortium brings a wealth of experience, expertise and technology, to the partnership,” says Solly Motuba, lead for the Validate group.

Separate transaction

In a separate transaction, Thebe Health will become a 48% shareholder in a merged entity that comprises the mining-sector healthcare business of Providence Healthcare Risk Managers and Thebe Health. The Providence Healthcare Group, acquired by MetHealth in 2013, delivers administration and managed care services for restricted membership schemes. The merged business will be called Momentum Thebe Ya Bophelo and will manage the healthcare costs for over 120,000 employees on behalf of a number of blue-chip mining houses across the sector.

“Quality healthcare forms an important component to financial wellness and we are committed to delivering this to our people, their business and their communities; it will be a privilege to walk this path with our new partners,” concludes Viljoen.
