News24.com | Woman chases down mugger in hearse
George – A Riversdale woman has told how she used a hearse to chase down a man who had snatched a pensioner’s purse.
The incident happened at about 15:30 on Monday afternoon near Avbob funeral services’ office in Riversdale, Netwerk24 reported.
Dihanna van Wyk, who works for Avbob, says she was in the office when she saw an elderly woman run up the street.
“The tannie was shouting and had her hands in the air. I saw someone run ahead of her.
“I could see that something was wrong and decided to drive there to see what was going on. At that stage, the only vehicle at the office was a hearse.”
Van Wyk jumped into the hearse and drove up to Cobie Ray, 72, a resident of the Huis Ou Meule by Droom retirement home. Ray told Van Wyk that a man had snatched her purse.
Van Wyk drove further up the road, but didn’t see anything. “I saw two boys standing in front of a house and stopped to ask if they’d perhaps seen a man run past them. They had and I told one of them to get into the hearse and come along.”
At the old train station Van Wyk and the boy saw the alleged purse snatcher. He took the money out of the purse, threw it down and made a beeline to get away. Van Wyk picked up the purse and the boy set off after the thief. Another man came to their assistance, the thief was caught and pinned to the ground.
Van Wyk, meanwhile, had driven to the police station. The police went back with her and arrested the alleged culprit. The money was also recovered and given back to Ray.
“The tannie was very grateful to get back her purse and money,” said Van Wyk.
“I found her in the bank, where she wanted to stop her cards.”

Sport24.co.za | SA Rugby rules out merging of franchises
Cape Town – SA Rugby is not considering the possibility of merging franchises for next year’s Super Rugby competition.
SANZAAR recently announced that the Super Rugby competition will be reduced from 18 to 15 teams from next year, with South Africa to lose two teams and Australia one.
This has left SA Rugby in a predicament in determining which two franchises will be scrapped from the competition.
There have been talks in some quarters for some of the South African teams to merge, as was the case in the old Super 12 when the Lions and Cheetahs played together as the Cats and Eastern Province (Kings) formed part of the Sharks franchise.
That is however not a current option, SA Rugby president Mark Alexander has said.
“In the past there were teams that merged. It never worked. It didn’t work for the Cats. They performed poorly. It’s not an option we’re currently investigating,” Alexander told Netwerk24.
According to Alexander, South Africa will keep its six franchises, with the two who are dropped from Super Rugby to possibly join other international tournaments.
There were also reports last week that SANZAAR may be forced to abandon its plans to cut three teams from Super Rugby, with the Melbourne Rebels taking the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) to court over the matter.
The Rebels, who are privately owned, are trying to prevent the ARU from “buying back their licence from them.”
Alexander though does not expect much to come of the Rebels attempts – or any franchise for that matter.
“We received no summons from the Cheetahs. I also know that SANZAAR has received legal advice on the matter. I don’t know how any attempt to sue will be successful. The plan is that there will only be four South African teams in Super Rugby next year.”
eNCA | Date set for Zuma challenge of state capture report
JOHANNESBURG – President Jacob Zuma’s challenge to the State of Capture report has been set down for three days in October.
Zuma indicated late last year that he would take the report by former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela on judicial review.
The report recommends that Zuma establish a commission of inquiry, but it must be headed by a judge selected by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng.
The president maintains that the appointing of judges to head commissions is his prerogative.
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has yet to say whether she’ll oppose the challenge in the North Gauteng High Court.
In February, she said her office had sought legal advice to oppose the president’s application to review the report.

News24.com | Car found at UCT linked to missing Free State engineer
Cape Town – A car that was abandoned at the University of Cape Town belongs to a Free State man who has been missing since February.
Jacobus Kriel’s silver Toyota Prado had been in a parking lot at UCT for the past three months. His uncle Izak de Villiers identified it on Wednesday morning, Netwerk24 reported.
On Tuesday, a secretary at the university had asked Volksblad for help finding the car’s owner.
It was subsequently determined that the Prado, registration number FMD 616 FS, belonged to the 29-year-old Kriel, who was an electronic engineer. He was last seen near Reitz, Free State, on February 10.
The secretary, who asked to remain anonymous, said several workers had reported the car to the university’s traffic department, which reported it to police.
She said many of his personal items, including a laptop, two-way radio, and a packet of cigarettes were left in the car.
“It’s very strange and I cannot believe that no one misses this person.”
His mother, Mercia Kriel, 56, was relieved at the news.
“For months we had nothing. At least we have something to work with now.”
She said her son had left home on February 10 to explore South Africa. His cellphone had been off since February 11. The following day, R3 000 was withdrawn from his bank account in Carnarvon in the Northern Cape.
Kriel said they became worried when they did not hear anything from him on his birthday, March 31. They reported him missing to police.
“We gave him a chance and hoped he would make contact, like in the past. It is not in his nature at all. He always informs us what is happening in his life, no matter where in the world he finds himself.”
She said, after he returned from Thailand in November last year, he was ill and was diagnosed with bipolar mental disorder. He had, however, refused to accept the diagnosis.
“He has been using medication for a few months, but has stopped. We are not worried about his survival, but about his state of mind.”
Kriel said they remained hopeful that he would be found.
“After three months, anything could have happened, but we are still hopeful. We pray, believe and trust that our son will be found.”
Lions exit door looms for Faf de Klerk

The Lions today look set to announce the departure of their Springbok scrumhalf Faf de Klerk and one other player at the completion of this year’s Super Rugby competition.
Although De Klerk is contracted with the Lions until the end of the 2018 season‚ he has reportedly been offered a three-year R21m contract to join Sale Sharks in the English Premiership.
While the Lions were recently on tour in Australia‚ their management expressed the wish that De Klerk would honour his contract until the end of its term next year.
The player‚ however‚ was not included in Allister Coetzee’s extended Springbok training group this year and may feel he needs to make a high profile transition to northern hemisphere while his marketability allows it.
De Klerk featured in Coetzee’s team last year‚ but his time in the Green and Gold was not as effective as it was for the Lions in last year’s Super Rugby. De Klerk is yet to reach those dizzy levels this season.
Asked to comment on De Klerk’s future‚ Lions chief executive Rudolf Straeuli said on Wednesday: “I will make an announcement at the team announcement press conference (on Thursday).
“Maybe I will be in a situation to comment wider than just Faf. I anticipate maybe one other player will leave but the rest have been secured.”
That includes highly rated Bok hooker Malcolm Marx‚ although he is yet to put pen to paper.
Marx should also be in possession of a Springbok contract‚ which augments his earnings at the Lions.
After the team returned from their successful tour of Australia‚ where they won all three matches‚ Straeuli has this week been tying up loose ends.
The chief executive would have done well with the team’s retention policy if they only lose two of their highly in-demand players for next season.
His team went to the Super Rugby final last year and several players were elevated to a brightly lit stage with the Springboks.
This year the Lions have lost just one match and given the interest shown from the northern hemisphere‚ they would do well to retain the core of their squad.
Straeuli will hope this week’s contract negotiations don’t prove a distraction leading up to Saturday’s Super Rugby clash against the Bulls at Ellis Park.

eNCA | 25th miner pulled from disused mine shaft
WELKOM – The bodies of 25 miners have been recovered from a Harmony Gold mine shaft in Welkom, Free State.
They are believed to have died in an explosion on Thursday last week.
The company suspects the blast was the result of illegal mining.
Harmony Gold Unlimited spokesperson Max Manoeli said on Wednesday: “Basically, the mine is no longer operating and was shut off. So how they got into the mine, it was breaking and entering, but because the mine is no longer operating it was a very unsafe practice that they did.”
Free State police spokesman Lerato Molale said they had found out about the bodies only on Monday, when they recovered 11 of them, Thirteen other had been retrieved on Tuesday and one on Wednesday.
The South African Federation of Trade Unions strongly rejected any attempt by Harmony, the owner of the mine, to dodge responsibility for the disaster on the grounds that those who died might have been illegal miners.
“They are referring to workers who were not employed by the company but who are so desperate for a livelihood that they will risk working in unused mine shafts,” a Saftu statement said.
“But these workers are no less human and deserving of respect than ‘legal’ employees. They have families and dependents and the same right to earn a living.
“‘Legal’ and ‘illegal’ workers are all victims of exploitation, either by the ‘legal’ mine owners or the ‘illegal’ dealers who buy and sell the gold extracted by the zama-zama miners,” the union federation said.
Saftu demanded that so-called illegal miners be legalised, trained and given the opportunity to work, with the same rights and conditions as other workers.
It reiterated its call for the nationalisation of the mining industry under democratic control by workers and local communities, and sent its condolences to the families of the deceased.
