Sport24.co.za | ‘Disappointed’ Rassie wants Proteas to keep winning momentum

You Need Posted on by

Proteas batsman Rassie van der Dussen hopes that his side can continue to feed off their form against Australia in the away ODI series against India.

The first of three ODIs between India and the Proteas was abandoned on Thursday without a ball being bowled following persistent rain in Dharamshala.

The Proteas were seen practicing in the indoor nets (video below) during the rain delay at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium.

Van der Dussen expressed his disappointment over not playing at the picturesque ground, which overlooks the Himalayas.

“It’s really disappointing as a player to come here, see the beautiful ground and passionate fans and not being able to get out on the park,” said Van der Dussen in Dharamshala.

“You can’t control that. There’s still two games in the series so we’ve got to work hard and really prepare ourselves as best as we can for the conditions we’re going to face now.”

The Proteas come off a 3-0 ODI win against Australia, Van der Dussen hopes that his side will continue to feed off that excellent form.

“India’s one of the best teams in the world, especially in their conditions,” he said.

“We will be looking to keep that form and momentum going after the Australia series.”

The second ODI is expected to get under way in Lucknow on Sunday (10:00 SA time).

The Proteas are continuing their tour of India despite the coronavirus pandemic that has prompted the postponement of top sporting events across the globe.

The team is travelling with CSA Chief Medical Officer Dr Shuaib Manjra and will keep abreast of the latest developments in India.

According to Times of India, the number of confirmed cases in India has gone past 70.

It was reported earlier on Thursday that the Indian Premier League could be played behind closed doors with the tournament scheduled to start on 29 March.

12 March 2020 – Employers must carry out their duties as agents of SARS

You Need Posted on by

Pretoria, 12 March 2020 – The South African Revenue Service (SARS) wishes to thank those compliant employers who have carried out all their tax obligations as agents for SARS, in terms of our country’s tax legislation.

Employers are agents for SARS, as they deduct income tax that is due by an employee and pay the deducted amounts over to SARS. The amounts deducted or withheld by an employer must be paid to SARS on a monthly basis by completing the EMP201.

Employers are also required to submit an annual reconciliation declaration (EMP501) for the full year – from 1 March to 28/29 February.

However, many employers, just over 40 percent, deduct tax from their employees’ income through Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE), but do not in turn pay SARS.

These non-compliant employers must note that it is the duty of SARS to communicate with employees about any potential tax shortfalls, which may be payable by them on assessment, because of the non-payment of PAYE by an employer. This can be avoided by paying the outstanding PAYE in full (including interest and penalties where applicable) to SARS, within 10 calendar days from receipt of a letter from SARS.

For employees to be able to receive a streamlined and seamless service during filing season, it is critically important that employers fulfil all their registration, filing and payment obligations.

If there is any non-compliance with any of these legal obligations, SARS will commence with criminal investigations, and lay criminal charges where necessary.

SARS’ role will be to provide clarity and certainty to all taxpayers about their tax obligations, and to make it easy to comply with these obligations.

Employers must remember that their compliance enables their employees’ compliance.

Furthermore, their on-time payment of the PAYE that they deduct from their employees constitutes a huge contribution to the revenue that SARS collects every year.

This revenue in turn allows government to provide the much-needed basic services and other public goods to the poorest of the poor.

All this is made possible by complying with their monthly and annual tax obligations.

Health24.com | Taking more antibiotics may up odds for hospitalisation

You Need Posted on by

If your doctors keep giving you prescriptions for antibiotics, you might be at increased risk of hospitalisation for a serious infection, a new report suggests.

For the study, researchers analysed data from two million patients in England and Wales. These patients had received prescriptions for antibiotics between 2000 and 2016 to treat common infections such as upper respiratory tract, urinary tract, ear and chest infections.

Those who had nine or more antibiotic prescriptions for common infections in the previous three years were more than twice as likely to be hospitalised with another infection within three or more months, the findings showed.

The risk was 1.77 times higher among those who had five to eight prescriptions, 1.33 times higher among those who had three to four prescriptions and 1.23 times higher among those who had two prescriptions, the University of Manchester researchers found.

Good bacteria in the gut

Doctors may “prescribe numerous courses of antibiotics over several years, which according to our study increases the risk of a more serious infection. That in turn, we show, is linked to hospital admissions,” study author Tjeerd van Staa said in a university news release.

“We don’t know why this is, but overuse of antibiotics might kill the good bacteria in the gut (microbiota) and make us more susceptible to infections, for example,” he said.

It’s clear doctors lack the tools to prescribe antibiotics effectively for common infections, especially when patients already have previously used antibiotics, van Staa said.

“Prescribing antibiotics for a common infection – even though it’s not certain whether it’s viral, where antibiotics are not indicated, or bacterial, where they are – might be easier when there is little time,” he suggested.

Also, in large practices, doctors may be less likely to know their patients and less tuned in to their history and circumstances to make informed decisions, van Staa said.

The study doesn’t show a direct cause-and-effect relationship between prescription practices and hospitalisations. And more research is needed to understand the association, the researchers noted.

The study was published online in the journal BMC Medicine.
