News24.com | FITA given go-ahead to appeal cigarette ban

You Need Posted on by

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has granted the Fair Trade Independent Tobacco Association (FITA) leave to appeal the ban on the sale of cigarettes under the current Covid-19 lockdown regulations.

The group, which represents local manufacturers, had directly approached the SCA to consider the matter after its appeal bid was turned down by the High Court in July.

The SCA granted the appeal on Friday.

FITA spokesperson Sinenhlanhla Mnguni said the organisation had always been of the view that Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma “acted irrationally in implementing the ban on cigarette and related products”.

“We are confident that once the matter is fully ventilated at the Supreme Court of Appeal, that court would arrive at a different decision to the one made by the full bench of the High Court,” he said.

“We have maintained that the merits of our case are strong.”

The decision comes as President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to address the nation this weekend in a speech that is widely expected to provide guidance on the easing of lockdown regulations.

The court ruled that if FITA does not proceed with the appeal, it will bear the cost of the process.

“After 63 years of marriage, Vivienne and I have been through it all. Her cancer diagnosis was shocking, but thankfully her results at Issels Medical Center have been incredible. Her recovery isn’t over, but she’s well on her way. Thank you to everyone who has shown support,” he wrote on Twitter.

News24.com | SCA dismisses lawyer Tumi Mokwena’s application to stop inspection of trust funds, books

Prominent lawyer Tumi Mokwena when he was acquitted of attempted murder charges.

  • The SCA has dismissed Limpopo lawyer Tumi Mokwena’s bid to stop his practice’s trust accounts and books from being inspected. 
  • The court said Mokwena failed to provide exceptional circumstances.
  • It is unclear whether Mokwena will be taking his application to a higher court. 

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has dismissed with costs an application by prominent Limpopo-based lawyer Tumi Mokwena to stop the Law Society of the Northern Provinces from inspecting all trust accounts and books relating to his practice.

Mokwena approached the SCA after his appeal against a Limpopo High Court order to open his files for inspection was dismissed last year.

He applied to the SCA for reconsideration or variation of the decision.

The SCA has now found that Mokwena, in his application, failed to provide exceptional circumstances.

Judge Mandisa Maya, president of the SCA, said: “The application in terms of S17(2)(f) of Act 10 of 2013 is dismissed with costs for the reason that no exceptional circumstances warranting reconsideration or variation of the decision refusing the application for leave to appeal have been established.”

The matter originates from a complaint lodged with the law society by a member of the Bjatladi Communal Property Association, which is the beneficiary of the Zebediela Citrus Estate through the land reform programme.

Complaint about R10 million deposit, further R28 million

The complaint involved R10 million deposited into Mokwena’s law firm trust account and a further R28 million made available through several payments by Exotic Fruit Company. All the money remains unaccounted for.

This happened when Mokwena was running the affairs of the citrus estate on behalf of the communal property association.

It was at the same estate where he allegedly fired several shots at disgruntled workers. However, he was later acquitted of attempted murder charges.

Mokwena did not respond to several phone calls and messages to find out if he would approach a higher court or would comply with the court order.

The law society has indicated it has instructed its audit department to commence with the inspection of the law firm’s accounts and books.

Mokwena is also facing an application for liquidation brought by local businessman Sthembiso Bethuel Bosch in the Limpopo High Court.

Bosch apparently deposited R1.5 million and a further R150 000 into Mokwena’s trust account for the purchase of a property that did not materialise.

Mokwena is opposing the application.

Health24.com | Will a cheap pill cure gonorrhoea? New test can tell

You Need Posted on by

  • A certain strain of gonorrhoea may be successfully treated with an out-of-use drug
  • A single dose of ciprofloxacin, given by mouth, may cure the strain called wild-type gyrA serine
  • This drug can be given as a pill, instead of a painful injection

Researchers say a new test can tell which patients with gonorrhoea will benefit from treatment with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin.

The low-cost drug has been out of use amid concern that the bacterium that causes gonorrhoea was becoming resistant to it.

In this study, 106 patients identified as having a gonorrhoea strain called wild-type gyrA serine were cured with a single dose of ciprofloxacin. A test to screen for that strain has been available for three years, but this is the first time it has been systematically studied in humans, researchers said.

Easier and safer to treat

“Gonorrhoea is one of the most common drug-resistant infections worldwide and is becoming harder to treat. Current treatment methods require an antibiotic injection, which is expensive and painful,” said lead author Dr Jeffrey Klausner, a professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“This new test could make it easier and safer to treat gonorrhoea with different antibiotics, including one pill given by mouth. Using a pill instead of a shot would also make it easier and faster to treat sex partners of patients with gonorrhoea,” he added in a UCLA news release.

The DNA test that researchers developed identifies a genetic mutation that makes the gonorrhoea bacterium resistant to ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin works against infections without that mutation.

In 2007, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending ciprofloxacin after the gonorrhoea bacterium developed resistance to it.

Small number of participants

But 70% to 80% of gonorrhoea infections in the United States still can be treated with ciprofloxacin, the researchers said. Scientists have been trying to reduce the need to use the injectable antibiotic, ceftriaxone. Gonorrhoea’s resistance to ceftriaxone is less than 1%.

However, the researchers noted the study was limited by the small number of participants, and that several people who had the wild-type strain of gonorrhoea also had other strain types.

The findings were published on 7 August in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
