Sport24.co.za | Blitzboks want to lay solid foundation as World Series starts in Dubai

You Need Posted on by

Cape Town – Blitzboks coach Neil Powell knows the route to the top of the podium at the Dubai Sevens – he has after all lifted the trophy more than once as a player, and watched his team do the same as a coach.

The Dubai tournament – the first of ten in the 2019/20 World Rugby Sevens Series – starts at The Sevens Stadium on Thursday, with the Blitzboks playing Kenya in their only match of the day.

Ann according to Powell, the Blitzboks arrived in Dubai confident after good preparation in Stellenbosch for the last two months.

“We also played in a warm-up tournament, so a lot of things we wanted to do have happened – but the real test remains here in Dubai when the tournament and series start,” said Powell.

South Africa have won the Dubai title six times before and for Powell a good start has always indicated what the season has in store for the Blitzboks.

“The pre-season normally manifests itself here and in Cape Town next weekend, but I think we have laid a good foundation for the opening two weeks,” he explained.

“There are a couple of challenges though. We needed to get through the 10-hour flight and its effects, and then a slight mindset change as the tournament is now starting a day earlier and will be played over three days and not the usual two.”

Powell was happy with the preparation done this week too: “We hit the ground running and both our attack and defence sessions went well. We will have our final prep in the morning before we take on Kenya tomorrow evening for our first match.

“We have a couple of new things that we will try and the test for that will be this weekend. It worked well on the training pitch, but only a live match will give you the real result,” he said.

Powell brought back some players with the Olympic Games in 2020 in mind. The likes of Dylan Sage, Seabelo Senatla and Ruhan Nel missed last season’s series, but they are back in action where they won the last time they played in Dubai.

“We have the Olympics as an end goal, but everyone realises the here and now aspect of Dubai. The focus is here, and we are looking for the effort this weekend,” said Powell.

Referring to Sage, Senatla, Nel and Rosko Specman, Powell said: “Those guys have worked hard with us in the last couple of weeks to fit back into our systems. They have individual excellence, but it will be how they fit into the overall team structure that will determine their successful return or not.

“Our objectives for the weekend are quite simple – we want to build a good foundation, not only for next weekend, but for the remainder of the season. We want to do well and get the pointers on those things we are doing right,” the coach explained.

Meanwhile Powell will also have a keen interest on the performances of the SA Rugby Sevens Academy team, who starts their campaign against the Royal Jesters in the International Invitational tournament on Thursday.

Several Blitzboks stalwarts will be in action and Powell will also be eager to see the progress made by new recruit Hacjivah Dayimani, as well as Werner Kok, who returned from the French Top 14 recently.

The Blitzboks face Kenya at 17:54 (SA time) in Pool D. They face Spain and England in their remaining pool fixtures on Friday. The Academy side take on the Royal Jesters at 11:20 (SA time) and French Military at 13:20 on Thursday.

The Blitzbok squad is:

1. Chris Dry (68 tournaments, 342 matches; 465 points, 93 tries)

2. Ryan Oosthuizen (17 tournaments,83 matches; 85 points, 17 tries)

3. Dylan Sage (24 tournaments, 134 matches; 155 points, 31 tries)

4. Zain Davids (18 tournaments, 88 matches; 60 points, 12 tries)

5. JC Pretorius (five tournaments, 27 matches; 55 points; 11 tries)

6. Siviwe Soyizwapi (captain; 28 tournaments, 145 matches; 445 points, 89 tries)

7. Selvyn Davids (14 tournaments, 69 matches; 300 points; 31 tries, 71 conversions, 1 penalty)

8. Rosko Specman (28 tournaments, 150 matches; 380 points; 70 tries, 15 conversions)

9. Justin Geduld (46 tournaments, 239 matches; 951 points;104 tries, 214 conversions, 1 penalty)

10. Kurt-Lee Arendse (four tournaments, 16 matches; 45 points, nine tries)

11. Seabelo Senatla (39 tournaments, 203 matches; 1120 points, 224 tries)

12. Ruhan Nel (28 tournaments, 147 matches; 247 points; 49 tries, 1 conversion)

13. Christi Grobbelaar (on debut)

News24.com | EFF: ‘DA helped to bring in rejected and corrupt ANC through the back door’

You Need Posted on by

After the ANC reclaimed the Johannesburg metro, the EFF accused the DA of participating in the re-establishment of what it calls a “corrupt government”.

The ANC’s Geoff Makhubo became the new Johannesburg mayor on Wednesday after the DA’s Herman Mashaba resigned from the position in October.

While the ANC only had 121 seats in the council, Makhubo still managed to bag 137 votes, meaning several smaller parties voted for him as did some DA councillors.

According to the EFF, three DA councillors voted for Makhubo instead of their own candidate, Funzela “Funzi” Ngobeni. The DA with 103 seats only managed to get 101 votes, while the EFF, with 30 seats in the council, received 30 for its candidate, Musa Novela.

Reacting to the outcome of the vote, EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu said the DA had participated in re-establishing an ANC government in Johannesburg.

READ | DA on councillor who voted for ANC’s Geoff Makhubo: ‘It’s an outright betrayal, but we won’t go on a witch hunt’

“Our conscience is clear that we did not form part of establishing a corrupt government here in Johannesburg,” Shivambu said on Wednesday.

“What has just been established here, it looks like with the participation of the DA, is a corrupt government of looters who are going to loot this city.”

In a statement, the EFF said it noted with sadness the ANC had won the mayoral race, and again blamed the DA for the result.

“It is evident from the results that the DA caucus, together with other smaller opposition parties, voted for the corrupt ANC. The DA’s three council members aided Geoff Makhubo of the corrupt ANC to become the mayor,” EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi claimed.

“This is a sad day indeed for the residents of Johannesburg who in 2016 voted the ANC out of the metro. The opposition parties, together with the DA, have now brought the same rejected ANC through a backdoor.”

Ndlozi expressed appreciation for the “unity” displayed by the EFF caucus, which he inferred, had not voted for the ANC.  

“They voted as a single, united and disciplined force of the left. This demonstrates the EFF as the only stable and united political party that our people can rely on for many gains.

“We will remain in the opposition benches. We are not scared of the DA-aided corrupt ANC. The EFF is the only party that can take the ANC head-on. We will take them toe-to-toe on both the ground and in the boardrooms. We shall never retreat to hold them accountable, exposing at all times their parasitic and greedy ways.”

Shivambu echoed these sentiments, saying the EFF had not sold out and would never have voted for Makhubo whom he described as an “extremely compromised and extremely conflicted” person.

Health24.com | Sex isn’t always what drives ‘sexting’

You Need Posted on by

“Sexting” may sound salacious, but it isn’t always about sex, a new study shows.

In fact, two-thirds of adults who send these sexually oriented text messages don’t have sex in mind at all, the Texas Tech University researchers report.

Nonsexual purposes

Some sexting is about foreplay for sex later on. Sexting is also used for reassurance about the relationship. And sometimes it’s done to score points for something like a dinner date down the road, said report assistant professor Joseph Currin and doctoral student Kassidy Cox.

The duo are from the department of psychological sciences at Texas Tech. They used data gathered online from 160 people aged 18 to 69 for the study.

They looked specifically at the sexting motivations, relationship attachments and sexual behaviours.

“It was intriguing that two-thirds of the individuals who engaged in sexting did so for nonsexual purposes,” Cox said in a school news release. “This may actually be demonstrating some individuals engage in sexting, but would prefer not to, but do so as a means to either gain affirmation about their relationship, relieve anxiety or get something tangible – nonsexual – in return.”

Necessary to have consent

These three motivations for sexting were consistent regardless of sexual orientation, gender or age, Cox and Currin found.

“This tells us that sexting among adults is an evolution of how we have communicated our sexual desires to our partners in the past. People used to write love poems and steamy letters, then when photography became more commonplace, couples used to take boudoir photos for each other,” Currin said.

The researchers note that their study involved only consensual sexting.

“As with any sexual behaviour, it is important and necessary to have consent to engage in sexting,” Currin said. “Individuals who send unsolicited sext messages – such as images of their genitalia – are not actually engaging in sexting; they are sexually harassing the recipient.”
