News24.com | Baby dies of gas inhalation in Klerksdorp
Mahikeng – A 14-month-old baby has died after he apparently inhaled gas at his home in Klerksdorp, ER24 said in a statement on Friday.
The infant and his parents, who also inhaled the gas, were reportedly found by a relative on Friday morning. The adults were unconscious and were found in the room where the family had slept, the statement read.
ER24 spokesperson Annine Siddal told News24 that there was nothing that could be done to save the baby and he was declared dead in the room.
Siddal said: “The parents were stabilised and transported to hospital”.
Siddal said that the family had a gas cylinder, describing it as “the type of gas cylinder that you would use for cooking”.
Local authorities were on the scene to investigate.
News24.com | EFF rejects Bell Pottinger apology
Johannesburg – The Economic Freedom Fighters have joined the long list of political and civil organisations in rejecting the apology from former Gupta public relations firm Bell Pottinger.
“The EFF rejects the Bell Pottinger apology and notes it as insincere as it makes no means to address the damage done,” the party said in a statement on Friday.
Bell Pottinger Chief Executive James Henderson on Thursday apologised for the work the company did for the Gupta family and Oakbay Investments.
Affected many good causes
The EFF went on to say the British-based company’s apology was disingenuous because “they have made money out of destroying people’s reputation.
“They made monies they do not plan on paying back even as reparations to the affected persons and entities. Bell Pottinger has been driving fake news campaigns that affected many good causes negatively, as well as the EFF”.

The EFF said that Bell Pottinger exploited racial tensions in the name of diverting public focus on the Gupta family.
“This apology is not only a mockery to a genuine struggle of emancipation but it also undermines the damage destroying reputations has done to families and the entire country”.
The EFF further called on the National Prosecuting Authority to “take decisive legal action against Bell Pottinger.
“The legal action must be nothing short of subsequently banning Bell Pottinger from the country. The banning of Bell Pottinger will send a strong message to all who undermine the gift of democracy and free speech which came at the cost of life itself”.
The party also called for the Gupta family to leave SA.
“Not only have they looted our coffers, they have done so whilst using a propaganda campaign relying on unethical means. They have rendered our public discourse toxic with fake news. They do not deserve to be in our midst; they must pack up and go back wherever it is they came from”.
Sport24.co.za | England on top at Lord’s after Day 2
Cape Town – Temba Bavuma and Theunis de Bruyn, two of the least experienced men in the Proteas top order, produced a fightback of skill and good temperament to revive their side from a potential collapse on the second day of the first Test against England at Lord’s in London on Friday.
Their stand of 99 for the fifth wicket which was broken 10 minutes before stumps when De Bruyn was dismissed by Jimmy Anderson mirrored the similar stand of 114 for the same wicket between Joe Root and Ben Stokes to launch a similar England revival the previous day.
With Bavuma unbeaten on 48 (102 balls, 8 fours) accompanied by night watchman Kagiso Rabada with Quinton de Kock still to bat, the Proteas finished the day on 214/5, still trailing by 244 runs but it was nevertheless a lot better than they were at 104/4 in the 37th over shortly into the final session of play.
The first task is obviously to avoid the follow on although it is unlikely that Root will explore that option with the pitch already providing substantial assistance to the spinners from the second day and the odd delivery keeping low as well, although admittedly large from the bowler’s rough outside the line of the stumps. England are highly unlikely to want to bat last in this match.
Bavuma again proved himself the man for the crisis which has been the hallmark of his entire career.
Earlier the Proteas dismissed England for 458 with all the wickets being shared by the three frontline seamers and De Kock taking four catches.
The Proteas got the second day off to the start they needed when Morkel claimed two wickets in three balls in the fourth over of the morning including the key one of Root for 190 (234 balls, 27 fours and a six). It also put an end to the sixth wicket partnership of 177 with Ali.
Unfortunately, they then made a critical error of judgment when they did not use one of their two available referrals when Philander had an lbw appeal against Broad turned down. The TV replays gave it three red lights and the reprieved Broad, on 4 at the time, went on to become the fourth batsman in the innings to reach 50 as he rode his luck in a spirited performance.
Morkel and Philander both bowled in the opening 10 overs of the day but it was Rabada who signalled that the end of the innings was in sight when he also claimed two wickets in three balls, one of them being Moeen Ali for 87 (147 balls, 8 fours and a six).
England went on to add 101 to their overnight total inside 19 overs and Broad’s innings (57 not out off 47 balls, 8 fours and 2 sixes) enabled England to post a challenging total of 458 instead of getting them out for below 400.
Elgar and Kuhn got through a testing 4 overs before lunch but the good start the Proteas wanted was not forthcoming when Broad struck in his first over after lunch when he dismissed the debutant with a good delivery that held its line down the slope to find the outside edge.
Elgar and Amla then started building a solid foundation with their second-wicket stand of 72 before the latter misjudged the turn down the slope from Ali to be trapped leg before wicket. Nevertheless, the Proteas made 86/2 in the session which gave them at least a half share of it, Elgar having reached his seventh career half-century (90 balls, 8 fours).
England appeared to have taken decisive control shortly after tea when Broad and Ali got rid of Elgar and Duminy in quick succession. Ali’s dismissal of Elgar was his 100th Test wicket to complete a notable double after he scored his 2 000th run earlier in the match.
However, De Bruyn and Bavuma got the Proteas innings back on to something approaching an even keel with a 99-run partnership that mirrored the similar job Root and Stokes had done for England the previous day.
De Bruyn (48 off 85 balls, 6 fours) fell to Anderson just before the close with the Proteas still trailing by more than 150 runs.
eNCA | Limpopo police worried about spate of ritual murders
MALAMULELE – Police management in Limpopo have expressed concern over continued incidents of ritual murders, with the latest being that of a 16-year-old girl whose mutilated body was found next to the Shingwedzi river.
In a statement on Friday, police spokesperson, Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo, said: “The police management in the Limpopo province is perturbed by unrelenting incidents of ritual murders that have become the scourge that requires strong partnerships with all stakeholders.
“In the latest incident, the police in Malamulele have launched a massive manhunt after the mutilated body of a 16-year-old girl was found in the bushes next to Shingwedzi river today. The deceased, Rithandzu Manganyi, from Gumbani village in Malamulele policing area, went missing on 2017-07-02 at about 13:00 when she left her home to relieve herself in the nearby bushes next to the river.
“She never returned and subsequent searches yielded no positive results. Her dismembered body was found by young boys when they went for fishing in the same river. The motive for this murder is unknown but ritual murder cannot be ruled out.”
Mojapelo said similar incidents in which people, especially women, went missing and were later found dead, had become a “worrying factor”, especially in the Vhembe and Mopano districts.
“The Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Nneke Ledwaba is making a call upon all our communities to rally around and isolate these merciless and faceless individuals who seem to be hellbent on destroying the moral fibre of our society and create fear in the minds of peaceful and progressive South Africans. The police will not rest until all perpetrators and their accomplices are brought to book.”

eNCA | Makhosi Khoza says she will not be ANC’s ‘sacrificial lamb’
DURBAN – ANC MP Makhosi Khoza lashed out at her party on Friday after a statement issued by the office of the Chief Whip said she was “highly out of order” and had embarked on a publicity campaign at the party’s just-concluded National Policy Conference (NPC).
“I will not be their sacrificial lamb,” she told the African News Agency via telephone in response to the statement from Jackson Mthembu, issued on Friday afternoon.
Khoza said that on Friday morning, Mthembu had asked her if she was prepared to face the consequences of her actions at the NPC.
“I know they are going to charge me, he told me so, but he never told me he would be releasing this statement,” she said.
In the statement, Mthembu said the party condemned the fact that Khoza “chose to run her own media conference on the sidelines of the NPC”.
“Comrade Khoza was invited to the NPC as a member of the ANC Parliamentary caucus and was therefore highly out of order to engage in parallel activities on the sidelines of the NPC on content that had nothing to do with the NPC itself,” he said.
Khoza told eNCA at the conference that she had written to Speaker of Parliament Baleka Mbete to request she “apply her mind” in deciding on a secret ballot in a motion of no confidence vote in President Jacob Zuma because she was the recipient of frequent threats. She was still awaiting a response, she told ANA.
In Friday’s statement, Mthembu said that the party was on record as saying its MPs were expected to vote according to the party line against a motion of no confidence in the president.
“We have consistently been on record that we will not vote with the opposition to remove our ANC government from office, immaterial whether such a motion is voted upon through an open or secret ballot.
“Noting the above, ANC MP, comrade Dr Makhosi Khoza has gone on a publicity spree in the past week stating that she will not toe the party line when voting in the upcoming motion in Parliament,” he said.
Mthembu said Khoza had “cast aspersions” on ANC MPs with her interviews by saying she doubted the ruling party’s MPs had the “necessary morality to make their own decisions”.
He said the party took “serious exception” to the statement, which questioned the calibre of ANC MPs.
Khoza told ANA that she respected Mthembu and was not questioning his authority, but that he had not taken into context the circumstances surrounding her statements.
“I was speaking in response to what [police minister Fikile] Mbalula had said,” she said.
READ: ANC MP’s who support no confidence vote to be disciplined
At the conference, Mbalula likened those in the ANC who would vote against the party line to “suicide bombers”. Khoza said she was asked by eNCA if she had a comment on what Mbalula had said and gave one.
“If a member of the ANC and the minister of police equates what people like myself said as suicide bombers – (people like me) who are under constant death threats, who are under constant intimidation, who is going to protect me when the police have not even acted on the two criminal cases that I have opened?” she said.
Despite requests for bodyguards, Khoza said she had had no reply on this from Mbete.
She said that nowhere in his statement had Mthembu mentioned that he told her he would also be speaking to Mbalula about his statements.
“I am not going to be a sacrificial lamb… where people want to portray me as some ill-disciplined person,” she said.
She said Mthembu appeared to be under pressure to pronounce against her in order to have a reason to lay charges.
“I told him (Mthembu) I was ready to face the consequences and told him what the context of my statements had been,” she said.
She said she would be writing a response on her Facebook page, “because it is the only platform I can use.”
In that response, Khoza likens the situation in the ANC to a burning house.
