News24.com | WATCH: Clash of councillors could sink R35m Sasol project
A clash between a senior ANC councillor and her fellow councillor during a meeting of the Lekwa municipality in Standerton, could lead to a multimillion-rand water and electricity project going down the drain.
The ANC’s chief whip, Mapasekha Molaba, who is also the leader of the SACP in Standerton, allegedly attacked fellow ANC councillor Miriam Khota, who is the speaker of the council, during last Wednesday’s meeting, where Sasol wanted to donate R35m.
The altercation happened in front of Sasol representatives, who were there to hand over a project to assist the council to supply water to the town and stabilise electricity supply.
‘She hit at me’
According to Khota, the argument ensued when Molaba wanted to stop the handover.
“I don’t want to elaborate on her reasons as she is the one who has to answer that question,” Khota told News24.
“It was an embarrassing situation and while I was filming her during the quarrel, she hit at me, knocking my phone from my hands,” said Khota.
When Khota approached the police to lay assault charges against Molaba, she was informed that a charge had already been laid.
“When I showed the police the video clip, they withdrew the case against me and opened a docket against Molaba.”
She referred further questions to the ANC.
A spokesperson, who was only willing to give his surname as Dlamini, confirmed the incident.
“It is very embarrassing for the ANC that the leader who is supposed to see that councillors toe the line, is causing such problems.”
Theft claims
Dlamini said Molaba accused Khota, as well as senior managers of Sasol who were present at the meeting, of stealing money from a previous R40m project – also funded by Sasol.
According to Dlamini, the R35m project will not be cancelled but will only be delayed.
The police in Standerton confirmed that a case was being investigated.
Molaba appeared in court on Monday morning and was released on her own recognisance.
When asked for a response, she said she had “no comment”.
Sasol wasn’t immediately available for comment.

News24.com | ‘There is nothing that they can do to stop us’ – BLF not deterred by court ruling

Black First Land First (BLF) says it is not deterred by the Electoral Court’s finding that the Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) erred when it did not publish the party’s registration in the Government Gazette in 2016.
The party says it is looking forward to the looming elections.
“There is nothing that they can do to stop us. We are going to Parliament. On the 8th of May we are voting. Our people must know that. The court says the IEC must publish one segment of our application, but it does not mean anything, has no consequences on our status as a registered party,” BLF leader Andile Mngxitama said after the ruling.
Mngxitama added that the party was clear about its membership policy in its constitution and the FF Plus was wasting its time by taking the party to court.
The court ruled on Monday that the chief electoral officer of the IEC was obliged to publish a decision to have a party registered in terms of section 15(5) of the Electoral Commission Act 51 of 1996.
Registration
On Monday, the FF+ argued that a segment of BLF’s application to have it registered was never published and that it did not have the opportunity to object to the party’s registration. The IEC did, however, publish BLF’s application for political party status.
FF+ lawyer Neil Snellenberg submitted that the BLF membership policy, which excludes other races and accepts “blacks only”, amounted to blatant discrimination in contravention of the Constitution and the Electoral Act.
“The [IEC CEO] has failed to publish this registration. He has caused any aggrieved party not to be able to exercise its right of appeal,” Snellenberg argued.
However, the IEC argued that the FF+ had no grounds to call for BLF to be deregistered when it never objected previously.
The IEC’s advocate submitted that from June 10, 2016, parties could appeal the registration.
The advocate added that the FF+ could not approach the courts three years later.
Arguing on behalf of his party, Mngxitama also submitted that it was too late.
Interested to see what happens
However, the court ruled that the IEC failed to publish the registration and that the appeal period therefore did not commence.
The FF Plus said while they were interested to find out what the IEC would do to rectify the mistake, they believed the commission still had other options to exclude BLF from the elections.
“There are certain regulations and certain sections that allow the electoral commission to say, for instance, when a political party contravenes the electoral code of conduct, that says although a political party participated in the election, the electoral commission can make a decision to not count the votes,” FF Plus leader Pieter Groenewald said after the ruling.
Groenewald said they were happy about the finding.

Sport24.co.za | Should Sharks save gusto for Chiefs?
Rob Houwing, Sport24 chief writer
Cape Town – Knowledge that only a week later they’ll play the worst-performing Chiefs team in several years could well influence the selection thinking of Sharks head coach Robert du Preez for Friday’s “first versus second” Super Rugby clash with the mighty Crusaders in Christchurch (09:35 SA time).
Almost certain to occupy his mind quite heavily will be whether it is really worth throwing all of his finest available resources at the defending champions — and already runaway 2019 tournament leaders — in the middle tour fixture, which could leave them more battered and bruised than they might like for the infinitely more “targetable” closing game in Hamilton the next weekend.
There will be an agreeable eight-day turnaround between matches, which is at least one good reason for Du Preez to resist leaving out a few stalwarts from his starting XV for the more immediate encounter, as the Sharks try to do something most compatriot outfits are finding elusive this season — achieve back-to-back victories.
But consider this: wouldn’t the Sharks have bitten your arm off, pre-tour, if you’d offered them a winning return of two out of three (even considering their iffy overall record so far) from their Australasian venture?
They already have one in the bag, Saturday’s especially physically-conscious 23-15 victory over the Waratahs, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell you that the Chiefs match looks so much more inviting than the Crusaders one for the KwaZulu-Natalians to grind out another precious overseas win.
Yes, a hundred percent record to fly home with would be quite sublime … but you will also find few takers, even among the staunchest Sharks devotees, for a repeat of their famous, last Christchurch win against those foes in 2014.
That 30-25 upset came despite losing Jean Deysel to a red card in the first quarter, and at one stage having 13 players on the field.
On Friday, the Lions, in a repeat of the 2018 final, fielded their strongest possible side from fit players on tour, outside of rested Springbok hooker Malcolm Marx, against the very same ‘Saders yet still came up horribly short in a 36-10 whipping (the Highvelders resisting throwing a few rookies into that frying pan was probably influenced by the handy bye week now that the tour is done).
Is that a cue for Du Preez to consider freshening up some of his most valuable, staple personnel by either sitting them out of the Crusaders match entirely or restricting them to the bench, in readiness for an all-out assault on the vulnerable Chiefs?
The Mooloo Men, after all, are having what fast looks like being their worst campaign since 2011, when they were last the bottom outfit in the New Zealand: that’s where they currently lie in 2019, and second-last overall, after 10 of their 16 ordinary-season games.
They have already tasted home defeat to a South African side this year: the Lions beat them 23-17 two weeks ago.
Would the Sharks be able to “get up” properly for that date in the event that they are bludgeoned at full strength at Christchurch Stadium, and perhaps run the simultaneous risk of high-profile injury casualties? It is something for their brains trust to mull over, even if they are instinctively reluctant not to hurl their Full Monty at the Crusaders.
The Sharks sent a 27-strong party on this tour, so it is possible there will be some rotational-type moves in selection this week.
One feasible scenario is that they put out a starting side that is around two thirds of normal first-team strength, and has a strong arsenal of seasoned figures as substitutes in case a sensational result in their favour looks a decent likelihood in the second half.
It so happens that several, normally core characters have not been overplayed in recent weeks, for varying reasons, and could confidently be expected to offer maximum oomph against both the ‘Saders and Chiefs.
Into that category fall hooker Akker van der Merwe, who only played off the bench against the Waratahs after returning from a three-week suspension, and others who have only recently come back from injury like giant lock Ruan Botha and flanks Jean-Luc du Preez and Philip van der Walt.
All fall into the fairly unusual category of solid game-time against the Crusaders only assisting their sharpness, you would think, for the Chiefs date just over a week onward.
The Sharks also swapped their scrumhalves around against the ‘Tahs, allowing a start for Cameron Wright, so captain Louis Schreuder should be fairly reinvigorated for a big personal push in each of the two New Zealand-based assignments if that’s that the wise men want.
It is perhaps stalwarts like Tendai Mtawarira in the pack and rugged midfielder Andre Esterhuizen who warrant being in maximum possible nick for the Chiefs match through limited (or no) deployment this Friday.
Coach Du Preez’s hand for the Crusaders should be known by Wednesday …
