Sport24.co.za | Meghan at Wimbledon to watch old pal Serena

You Need Posted on by

The US-born Duchess of Sussex watched as seven-time champion Williams overcame a scare to beat Slovenian qualifier Kaja Juvan 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 in a second round contest.

Prince Harry’s wife Meghan arrived on Court One after play had already got under way.

The duchess was flanked by two friends from her university days as she took her spot among spectators on the 12,000-seater court.

Genevieve Hillis and Lindsay Roth were fellow students of the royal who studied both theatre and international relations at Northwestern University, graduating in 2003.

Williams and Meghan have become close in recent years, inviting the 23-time Grand Slam champion to her wedding at Windsor Castle in May last year.

Meghan gave birth to her baby son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor on May 6 this year.

He is being christened on Saturday but the Sussexes are not revealing who the godparents will be.

However, Williams ruled herself out of the guessing game.

“No. I’m working on Saturday,” Williams said.

The 37-year-old American — bidding to join Margaret Court with a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title — had struggled to impose herself on an opponent ranked 133 in the world out on court.

Earlier Swiss great Roger Federer revealed he had recently had a tennis knockabout with Archie’s cousin Prince George.

The five-year-old is the son of Harry’s brother Prince William and his wife Kate. She turned up to Wimbledon on Tuesday.

The Duchess of Cambridge saw some of the action on the outside courts before taking her place in the Royal Box on Centre Court.

Williams was asked if she might one day play tennis with Archie, as Federer did with George, but she said she was busy training up her daughter Olympia, who will be two years old in September.

“I’m actually working on Olympia’s game. Maybe she can give tips to him. She’ll be his older sister.

“We like to do a lot of sports with Olympia. Actually she likes soccer more, so we’ll see.”

News24.com | Health MEC calls for probe into Durban hospital after patient found with maggots in his mouth

You Need Posted on by

KwaZulu-Natal Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu has called for an urgent investigation into the death of a RK Khan Hospital patient who was found with maggots in his mouth. 

Simelane-Zulu wanted the health department to establish the circumstances surrounding the patient’s death and take stringent disciplinary action should any individuals be found guilty of wrongdoing, the department said in a statement on Thursday. 

The 52-year-old patient, identified as Sadick Ebrahim, died in the hospital on Tuesday after he had been admitted on June 19. 

Ebrahim was suffering from ailments that may not be divulged due to the National Health Act.

The act prohibited the public discussion of confidential clinical information, including how a patient was managed within a healthcare facility, the department said.

“We are quite shocked by the state of the patient [when the video was taken] before his demise. We really don’t understand how things could have gotten to this level. We are going to conduct a thorough and proper investigation to understand what led to this,” Simelane-Zulu said.

The MEC further expressed concern at the manner in which the patient had died. 

“While we understand that our hospitals are understaffed, and we have a lot of patients that we must look after, we do not believe that it makes sense that a patient would be in our care for so long and yet when he left this world, he leaves in this particular fashion. 

“The reality of it is that it means, while he was under our care, and he had the challenges that he did, he also had the added discomfort of having to deal with the situation that he was faced with. I have asked the acting head of department that we should do a thorough investigation.”

Simelane-Zulu further urged healthcare professionals in hospitals across the province to take the responsibility they were entrusted with seriously, despite the challenges.

“While we understand that you are under pressure and have a lot of work, once a patient is with you, make sure you do a thorough assessment.

“You must treat that patient as you would treat your own family member because that’s the commitment that we made as professionals,” she concluded. 

News24.com | Without adequate funding, the fight against crime will be undermined, acting IPID head tells Parliament

You Need Posted on by

The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) is at the forefront of fighting corruption in the country and therefore, without adequate funding, the fight against crime “will be seriously undermined”, its acting executive director, Victor Senna, told the portfolio committee on police.

Senna and his team appeared before the committee on Thursday to lay out their annual performance plan for the 2019/20 financial year.

Senna said IPID’s operations are stable, despite the departure of former executive director Robert McBride.

He added they would appreciate it if the position was filled soon to maintain stability.

DA MP Andrew Whitfield asked committee chairperson Tina Joemat-Pettersson to write to Police Minister Bheki Cele in this regard, as Senna’s role as acting executive director expires at the end of the month.

Joemat-Pettersson said she would do this.

Senna was appointed in March this year after the fifth Parliament’s portfolio committee on police’s controversial decision not to renew McBride’s contract.

IPID’s chief financial officer, Patrick Setshedi, told the committee on Thursday that its budget allocations had increased from R234.7m in the 2014/15 financial year to R336.7m for 2018/19 at a growth rate of 34%. The increase is the result of increased funding for the police.

Its expenditure is expected to grow from R336.7m in 2019/20 to R381.6m in 2021/22 at an average growth rate of 13%, mainly to accommodate operating costs and contractual obligations, without increasing the directorate’s capacity.

Of IPID’s total budget allocation for 2019/20 of R336.7m, R228.8m is spent on compensation for its employees, of which most are investigators.

Setshedi added that R55.5m was spent on contractual obligations, which left only R52.3m for IPID’s operations during the financial year.

Setshedi said it was experiencing “capacity constraints” in general, with the following functions “extremely affected”:

  • Integrity strengthening and protection;
  • Legal services and contract management;
  • Service delivery coverage and accessibility;
  • Accounting, compliance and reporting responsibilities;
  • Community outreach events.
