You Need Posted on by

Ten days after they were originally meant to receive their salaries, Southern Kings players, staff and coaches have yet to be paid for the month of April.

Last week, Kings management sent a letter promising that the salaries would be paid by Thursday, 30 April but that deadline came and went without the players getting paid.

A source in the organisation confirmed that staff and players had yet to be paid as of Tuesday morning and that they had been promised that salaries would be paid on Tuesday.

“We were told yesterday (Monday) that today (Tuesday) was going to be the pay day and they were going to make the transfer this morning,” the source that spoke on condition of anonymity told Sport24.

“We are all still waiting.”

In a City Press report over the weekend, Kings equity partners the Greatest Rugby Company in the Whole Wide World and the Eastern Province Rugby Union (EPRU) blamed each other for the delay in staff payments. In the report, the EPRU was accused of intercepting the municipality payment, claiming it was owed money by the private consortium.

The wrangle over the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality R6 million bailout had apparently resulted in delays in the funds being transferred to the franchise.

According to another source, this would be the second amount of R6 million paid out to the Kings in the same financial year and that the Kings had originally asked for a R10 million bailout – to which the municipality responded by assuring only R6 million could be paid.

The amateur wing EPRU’s president Andre Rademan released a statement on Tuesday calling the franchise’s failure to pay staff and players “not only unacceptable but also regrettable in these circumstances that we are facing.”

“EPRU has requested an urgent stakeholders meeting has been requested within seven days to try address these important matters,” said Rademan.

“Furthermore, the union has in no circumstances tried to block or encourage the non-payment on Southern Kings from the municipality as it has been reported out there. After the stakeholders meeting, EPRU will hold a press conference on way forward.”

Players union, MyPlayers, are also said to be meeting with Kings management regarding the unpaid salaries but they remained tight-lipped as to the details of the discussions.

Health24.com | How one very ill infant survived Covid-19

You Need Posted on by

A three-week-old Texas infant in critical condition with Covid-19 was successfully treated and recovered, doctors report.

This is one of the first cases of its kind, according to the team of doctors at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).

They noted that the initial belief that children aren’t at risk of serious illness from Covid-19 has been disproved as more information is gathered on the disease caused by the new coronavirus.

“We are still so early in the research and data available on Covid-19, and as providers, we need to be aware that children can get critically ill from this virus,” said study first author Dr Alvaro Coronado Munoz, an assistant professor of paediatric critical care medicine at UTHealth.

X-rays reveal pneumonia

“It’s important for parents to understand that they should not delay seeking care for their children if there’s any presence of fever or trouble breathing,” Coronado said in a university news release.

In the team’s case report, the child arrived at a hospital with nasal congestion, rapid breathing and heart rate, reduced eating, a temperature of 97 ºF (36.1 ºC), and low oxygen saturation. The child was transferred to a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and arrived there with low blood pressure, hypothermia and continued rapid heart rate and breathing.

Lung X-rays revealed signs of pneumonia. Instead of waiting for nasal swab test results that could take weeks, doctors took immediate action.

Coronado said that after seeing the lung X-rays, “we were suspicious immediately that it could be the coronavirus. We took early precautions to protect our team and avoid the spread to health care providers.”

Because the infant was in severe respiratory failure and Covid-19 was suspected, the patient was placed on a mechanical ventilator for five days and received five days of treatment with the drugs hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

After five days, the infant was discharged from the PICU. On day nine, the infant had recovered and was sent home without supplemental oxygen, according to the case study published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine.

“While this case is limited to one single patient, it illustrates that severe Covid-19 cases in children can occur, but also be successfully managed,” Coronado said.
