  • Winde says that opening up the economy will help fight the second pandemic, which is unemployment.
  • On Friday, the Western Cape government will adopt an official position to present to the president.

Western Cape Premier Alan Winde has pleaded with President Cyril Ramaphosa to fight the second pandemic – unemployment – by opening up all sectors of the economy and allowing for the resumption of international travel.

On Friday, the Western Cape government will discuss the further opening of the economy and adopt an official position to present to Ramaphosa during the next round of consultations.  

“We must open up all sectors of the economy and allow for international travel in line with clear health guidelines and in acknowledgement of individual responsibility.

“We must treat our residents as responsible partners in our continued efforts to keep Covid-19 on the decline,” Winde said in a statement of Thursday.

He said by opening up all sectors they could prevent the deadly second pandemic of joblessness, which will hit vulnerable communities the hardest.

“All indicators confirm that the Western Cape has moved into the recovery phase of its pandemic.

Changes

“We need to ensure that we keep up all the behaviour changes we have learnt over the last five months,” added Winde.

Winde said they don’t have to decide between health and moving forward.

“We can do both, and we can get onto the right track again,” he said.

During the premier’s weekly online conference last Thursday, the provincial health head of department, Dr Keith Cloete, said health authorities now know how to respond, should there be any flare-up in Covid-19 cases.

Winde also encouraged the public to continue practising healthy precautions, such as the wearing of masks, physical distancing and the regularly washing of hands.

News24.com | DA ‘disgusted’ by ANC using SANDF jet to fly to Zimbabwe, slams ‘abuse of state machinery’

  • The DA expressed its disgust after an ANC-delegation used an air force jet to Zimbabwe. 
  • The ANC has been accused of abusing state resources to conduct party business.
  • Defence spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said the ANC meeting coincided with Mapisa-Nqakula’s official work.

The DA has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to clarify why an ANC-led delegation was able to fly to Zimbabwe, to meet with ZANU-PF party officials, using a SA National Defence Force (SANDF) air force jet.

News24 reported that the ANC has been accused of abusing state resources because it used a government-sponsored jet to conduct party business.

The ANC was seen arriving in Harare on a South African air force jet for a planned meeting with Zanu-PF.

At the meeting, it was agreed that there was no “crisis” plaguing Zimbabwe, but that the country faced “challenges”.

In an interview with the SABC, ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule, who led the delegation, denied it amounted to an abuse of power.

Official work

On Thursday, ministry of defence spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said the ANC meeting coincided with the official work of Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula.

“The meeting of the ANC in Zimbabwe coincided with the meeting of the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, who was travelling to Zimbabwe to meet her counterpart in preparation for a SADC Troika meeting and the UN reconfiguration of the Force Intervention, which comprises troops from the SADC region,” he said.

The DA said not only does it call on Ramaphosa to clarify what it calls “brazen corruption” by the ANC , but the DA also calls on the ANC to immediately pay back the money the SANDF spent on transporting the party delegation to Zimbabwe.

“The DA is absolutely disgusted by the ANC’s flagrant abuse of state machinery, its deliberate muddying of state and party lines and the fact that the South African taxpayer had to sponsor this meeting between the two political parties.

“Given the enormous budget constraints on the SANDF, this theft of scarce resources compromises the integrity and safety of South Africa.

“President Ramaphosa incessantly meanders on and on about corruption and maladministration, yet he continues to turn a blind eye to his own party’s complete disregard for the rule of law and the separation of powers,” DA MP Kobus Marais said. 

Marais added that a line in the sand must be drawn when it comes to the ANC’s “relentless gross abuse of government resources”.

“The state cannot continue to be milked dry in pursuit of the ANC’s political ends,” he added.

News24.com | Rugby chiefs unveil 8-team Autumn Nations Cup and it won’t feature the Springboks

Six Nations rugby chiefs on Thursday unveiled the eight-team Autumn Nations Cup, which replaces the traditional international Test window during the coronavirus pandemic.

The tournament, involving the Six Nations sides as well as Georgia and Fiji, will take place over four weekends between 13 November and 6 December.

In the weeks leading up to the announcement there was much speculation that the Springboks would play in the tournament in place of Japan, one of the original picks but who had withdrawn from the tournament.

The teams will be divided into two pools of four. Group A will include England, Ireland, Wales and Georgia with Group B comprising France, Scotland, Italy and Fiji.

Georgia replaced Japan, who opted not to take part in the tournament, which will start two weeks after the conclusion of the virus-disrupted Six Nations.

The action gets under way on November 13, with Ireland hosting Wales in Dublin.

The other opening games see Italy play Scotland and England host Georgia the following day, with France taking on Fiji on November 15.

The Nations Cup will conclude on the weekend of December 5 and 6 with a special final round of matches.

Based on the pool rankings coming into the final weekend, each team will face off against the side ranked in the same position in the opposite pool.

England, Scotland and Ireland will play their matches at home but the venues for Wales, France and Italy’s home games are still to be decided.

The presence of fans remains uncertain due to Covid-19 regulations.

“A significant amount of time and effort has gone into delivering this new tournament format in testing circumstances and the spirit of collaboration amongst key stakeholders has been outstanding,” said Six Nations Rugby CEO Ben Morel.

“While the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic made the traditional autumn Test window unfeasible, we remained determined to deliver a unique and compelling tournament proposition which would ensure world-class rugby for our fans.”

England coach Eddie Jones said: “We have a new competition format this autumn and are expecting four quality Tests, which will be a good challenge for us.”

Wales boss Wayne Pivac said international rugby had been “hugely missed”.

Ireland host Italy in Dublin in the Six Nations on October 24 before all three round-five games take place on the following Saturday to decide the title winners.

England top the Six Nations standings with 13 points, ahead of France on points difference.
