News24.com | High Court grants DA urgent application to challenge ousting of Tshwane mayor, speaker

You Need Posted on by

The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria ruled on Friday that the DA’s application over the motions of no confidence against City of Tshwane Mayor Stevens Mokgalapa and Speaker Katlego Mathebe is urgent.

The matter relates to the legalities around a council sitting on December 6 that resolved to oust Mokgalapa and Mathebe. 

“I hereby make the following order; that both will be enrolled and heard as matters of urgency in terms of Rule 6(12), and the non-compliance with all other prescripts relating to time periods is condoned to the extent necessary,” Judge Neil Tuchten said in his judgment.

Judge Tuchten further added that, as a result, the decisions taken in the December 6 council sitting are suspended pending the final determination of review proceedings to set such actions aside.

This includes the decision to appoint Obakeng Ramabudu as acting speaker, as well as the adoption of the motion of no confidence in Mathebe and Mokgalapa. This means that both will retain their positions for now.

The Democratic Alliance lodged a court application in a bid to challenge a decision by the Tshwane special council, saying the processes to remove Mathebe and Mokgalapa were unlawful, News24 reported.

The motions of no confidence were brought forward shortly after audio was released of Mokgalapa allegedly engaging in an intimate act with former Transport MMC Sheila Senkubuge.

Senkubuge has since resigned from the post, around the same time that her citizenship was brought into question.

The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) later confirmed that she was a verified citizen at the time of her appointment, according to the voters’ roll.

Mokgalapa was put on special leave, pending investigation into the release of the audio recording.

DA member of the Gauteng legislature Mike Moriarty – during a previous court appearance – told the media that he could not speak about Mokgalapa’s future as the mayor.

“All I can tell you is that he is still on special leave. He has to answer to some very serious charges. I would imagine that it would conclude by next year,” he previously said.

The DA has been given seven days to submit their review application.

News24.com | WATCH | #1 ranked South African fencer loses out on Olympics due to lack of funding

You Need Posted on by

Although South Africa’s Number 1 ranked sabre fencer, Nomvula Mbatha, 22, ended 2019 on a winning note, she could not showcase her talents on the world stage due to a lack of funding.

“I was hoping to go to the Olympics next year in Japan, but the funds are not there,” she told News24 at her home in Diepkloof, Soweto, on Thursday.

Mbatha finished undefeated in the national women’s sabre fencing category during the Open Title Championships in KwaZulu-Natal in December, affording her the bragging rights of being the best fencer in the country.

“The KZN national competition was hard for me because I was fencing a difficult opponent as she was left-handed, and this is unusual in sabre fencing. I even cried, I don’t know what happened, but I won the competition,” she said.

Her ranking should grant her access to compete internationally, however, this dream could not be realised due to funding constraints.

“I even missed out on the African Games in Morocco this year due to a lack of funds. If I had won that competition, I would have gone to the Olympics because I am ranked Number 1.

No South African fencers

“There were no South African fencers there,” she said.

The champion, who belongs to the Soweto Fencing Club, has been fencing since 2012 after she was introduced to the sport while still at primary school.

But from 2015 to date, Mbatha has remained undefeated in the sabre fencing category. She has raked in so many medals, she has lost count.

“From 2012 to 2014, I was winning and losing but since 2015 I have won every competition I was in,” she said.

“Fencing changed my life big time, I am famous in my hood because of fencing. I also get to do gymnastics – I just love fencing,” Mbatha added.

The 22-year-old – who lives with her mother, two siblings and nieces – hopes fencing will afford her the opportunity to buy her family a home.

“I won’t say that we are poor, the situation is stable but obviously I want better – to get a house for my family,” she said.

Mbatha wants to further enhance her craft by becoming a coach.

She told News24, that by next year, she would apply to attend a fencing coaching academy.

Mbatha has appealed to South Africans as well as the government to invest in fencing as a sport so that South Africa could be represented on the world stage.

“Please dear South Africans and the government, please help us we want to go to those big competitions not just competing nationally,” she said.

Fin24.com | No load shedding planned for Day of Goodwill

You Need Posted on by

Eskom says it does not plan cut power on the Day of Goodwill, due to a decrease in electricity consumption over the holiday period and the return of some generating units to service.  

“We however remind customers that, as the system continues to be vulnerable and unpredictable, the possibility of load shedding remains,” it said in a status update. 

The utility says it will continue to use emergency power resources to supplement capacity if necessary. 

Eskom previously said that its technical teams were trying to reduce unplanned breakdowns at power stations throughout South Africa to below 9 500 MW.
