Absa Cape Epic (Greg Beadle)

Absa Cape Epic (Greg Beadle)

  • The 2021 Absa Cape Epic has been postponed till the end of 2021, organisers have confirmed
  • This is as a result of the upsurge in Covid-19 cases, both locally and abroad
  • The race will now take place from 17 to 24 October 2021.

The Absa Cape Epic, originally scheduled for March 2021, has been postponed till October organisers announced on Wednesday.

The postponement is as a result of the upsurge in both local and international Covid-19 cases over recent weeks.

In a press release sent out on Wednesday, organisers of the event confirmed that it would now take place from 17 to 24 October 2021.

“The decision to postpone the event has been made due to an upsurge of international and local Covid-19 cases, and the ever-changing restrictions relating to mass participation events in South Africa,” said the statement.

“As always, the safety of riders, staff, crew, and stakeholders remains paramount to every decision made by the organisation and we will continue to follow guidelines and recommendations in a manner consistent with local community objectives and within the expectations set by public health entities.”

The event was set to take on a 647km route, which features 15 550 metres of climbing throughout eight days of racing with many riders already well into their preparations with March in mind.

“We at the Absa Cape Epic appreciate that this may not be the news that our riders were hoping to receive as we approach the Festive Season break – a time where riders usually spend countless hours in preparation of what’s to come in The Race That Measures All – but we want to ensure you have the maximum notice and opportunity to plan for the rescheduled event date,” continued the statement.

“Our team, sponsors, crew, and local communities have been working tirelessly to adapt to the challenges posed in these uncertain times, but it has become clear that in order to deliver an event to the standard the Absa Cape Epic is renowned for, it is best to postpone to 17-24 October 2021.”

Michael Flinn, Managing Director of the Absa Cape Epic, thanks all riders, sponsors and other stakeholders for their unwavering support.

“I would like to thank all of our riders as well as our sponsors and stakeholders for their understanding and unwavering support in what has been an extremely demanding year,” said Flinn.

7 December 2020 – Taxpayers must not be duped by criminals

You Need Posted on by

Pretoria, 7 December 2020 – The South African Revenue Service (SARS) would like to warn taxpayers to be wary of persons posing as tax practitioners or tax experts who promise them that they could secure a refund from SARS.

Businesses and other organisations must also beware of third parties such as unknown payroll companies who offer to assist them with their PAYE submissions.

SARS is being inundated with desperate calls from honest taxpayers who fall victim to these criminals and scammers who pocket the refunds for themselves and their accomplices as they often operate as syndicates.

In some cases, these fraudulent submissions are the cause of delays that are experienced by law-abiding taxpayers when SARS has no other option but to verify the information that was submitted by scammers to SARS.

Taxpayers who willing participate in such fraudulent activity in expectation of an illegal refund will be prosecuted along with the scammers.

SARS urges honest citizens who suspect such criminal activity to provide information SARS. They can contact SARS anonymously using the number 0800 00 2870 or by anonymously completing an online form available on the SARS website www.sars.gov.za

8 December 2020 – Government agencies destroy illegally imported vehicles

You Need Posted on by

PRETORIA, 8 DECEMER 2020 – A joint government task force will today crush a number of illegally imported second-hand vehicles. This sends a strong message that illegal activities are not tolerated by government, a message that is particularly pertinent as we recognise International Anti-Corruption Day tomorrow (9 December).

The proliferation of second-hand motor vehicles into the country from Europe, Asia and the rest of Africa has become a serious risk to the survival of the legitimate motor vehicle industry in the country. Illegal activities such as smuggling of second-hand vehicles ultimately has negative consequences on the economy of the country.

The Inter-Agency Working Group on the Illicit Trade (IAWG), which includes the South African Revenue Service (SARS), the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic) as well as other law enforcement agencies, started crushing 57 illegally imported vehicles from the first week of November 2020.

These vehicles also pose a safety threat when used within South Africa since they are not manufactured for the local environment and do not go through proper safety processes like roadworthy tests.

The confiscation of these illegally imported second-hand vehicles was due to the following contraventions:

  • Clients had produced fraudulent traveller declaration forms (TRD1s) in order to use the vehicles illegally in South Africa;
  • Some of the vehicles were driven in South Africa with a cloned vehicle registration and licence disc. However, upon verification with the neighbouring countries it was established that the registration belongs to various other vehicles;
  • The vehicles were sold to South African citizens without due clearance and permits being obtained;
  • Refugees residing in South Africa have been purchasing the vehicles from the Bond Stores and registering them in the SACU countries in order to use them in South Africa for an indefinite period.

The importation of second-hand imported vehicles into South Africa is mainly allowed for the purpose of re-sale to foreign countries, with a few exceptions (eg. collectors’ cars). An import permit from the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) is required before the vehicles may be imported into South Africa. However, ITAC does not issue permits for the importation of second-hand vehicles for use on South African roads. In other words, a second-hand vehicle may not be imported and registered locally.

The increased proliferation of second-hand vehicles prompted SARS’ Illicit Trade Unit to increase its enforcement activities in this area in recent years. The enhanced operations resulted in extensive detentions and seizures of illegally imported vehicles, which were eventually forfeited to the state after investigations. In the 2017/18 financial year, there were 77 seizures of illegally imported vehicles, in 2018/19 there were 169 and in 2019/20, the numbers increased to 256, highlighting the renewed clampdown by SARS on this particular area of non-compliance.

Members of the IAWG have reaffirmed their commitment to work jointly to stem the tide of criminality, including the illegal importation of these second-hand vehicles.

“The crushing of the illegally imported vehicles is a warning to those that continue to practice this illegal act. And for unsuspecting buyers, make sure that what you are paying for is legal – otherwise your vehicle could be confiscated by the state,” says SARS Commissioner, Edward Kieswetter.

Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Nomalungelo Gina, says government will stop at nothing when confronting this scourge in order to protect local manufacturing, which contributes more than 7% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and creates employment.

“Buyers of these vehicles must realise that they are killing jobs and destroying the capacity of our economy to produce prosperity for all citizens. Government is absolutely determined to deal with this blatant disregard of our country’s laws and the safety of road users,” says Gina.
