News24.com | Call to criminally charge Selebano, despite his resignation

You Need Posted on by

Johannesburg – The DA has said the resignation of Dr Barney Selebano, the suspended head of the Gauteng health department, following the Life Esidimeni tragedy was not sufficient. The party has called for Selebano to be criminally charged as well.

Selebano was one of a number of health officials identified as being responsible for the transfer of mentally ill patients from Life Esidimeni facilities to a number of unlicensed NGOs.

The move resulted in at least 143 deaths.

READ: Suspended Gauteng health department head resigns

Selebano, who testified at the Life Esidimeni arbitration hearings in December last year and said he took “accountability”, first launched an unsuccessful court bid to challenge a subpoena issued for him to appear before the hearings.

“I take accountability. It happened under my watch. There is no way that, if you are a leader and something happens, and then you suddenly want to walk away from it,” he said at the hearings last year.

“If I had known that there would be mortalities – I wouldn’t have guessed that – if I had known, then really that would have been unthinkable, that I would have gone on,” he said.

Call for former MEC to be criminally charged as well

News of Selebano’s resignation broke on Tuesday, and DA Gauteng health spokesperson Jack Bloom said he wanted to see the suspended head criminally charged.

“I welcome the resignation of Dr Barney Selebano, the suspended head of the Gauteng health department, although it was inevitable that he would have been fired following the conclusion of disciplinary measures for his role in the Esidimeni tragedy,” Bloom said.

“This is not sufficient accountability, however, and he should face criminal charges in a court of law along with former health MEC Qedani Mahlangu and other implicated officials,” he said.

Mahlangu is expected to testify before the hearings next week.

“His resignation clears the way for the appointment of a new head for this troubled department which desperately needs strong leadership to fix budgetary problems and provide quality healthcare to all patients,” Bloom said.

Sport24.co.za | Faf unmovable as Proteas edge further ahead

Centurion – South Africa scored just 57 runs in 27 middle session overs on day four of the second Test against India at Centurion.

It certainly wasn’t the most eye-catching two hours and 15 minutes of cricket, but it was one of the most important periods in the game.

With just four sessions remaining, this Test could still go either way and what happens between now and the end of Tuesday is crucial.

The Proteas are currently 230/7 and 258 runs ahead, with a patient Faf du Plessis (37*) and Kagiso Rabada (0*) at the wicket.

As things stand, India will have to score the highest ever fourth-innings total to win a Test at Centurion.

The Proteas had lost three quick wickets in the morning session – including that of powerhouse AB de Villiers (80) – and they resumed after lunch on 173/5.

At that stage, the game was very much in the balance and the two South Africans made it clear that not losing wickets was the immediate priority.

Both Du Plessis and Philander were incredibly cautious and while runs were hard to come by, so too were opportunities.

India, though, kept plugging away and as long as the scoreboard wasn’t being overly troubled, they would have felt that they were still in it.

Eventually, the visitors got their breakthrough when Philander completely mistimed a pull off Ishant Sharma.

The ball looped to Murali Vijay at mid-wicket, who took a comfortable catch and brought an end to a sixth-wicket partnership that had lasted 156 balls and contributed 46 valuable runs.

Keshav Maharaj (6) came and went, caught behind off Sharma, but still Du Plessis was watchful, not forcing anything.

By the time Du Plessis had faced 100 balls, he had scored just 26 runs.

eNCA | Sars denies official involved in suspicious transactions

You Need Posted on by

JOHANNESBURG – Sars has denied former British Cabinet Minister Peter Hain’s claim that one of its senior officials was involved in suspicious transactions made in US dollars.

The revenue services says the money was sent to Sars Deputy Commissioner Jonas Makwakwa by relatives in Zimbabwe.

READ: Hain wants action taken against Hogan Lovells

“The difficult thing is we’ve asked parliament to help us release that report, so perceptions can be cleared. Parliament is working on a process to release this report to the public. Even the money that comes from Zimbabwe was explained,” says Luther Lebelo from Sars.

“Mr Mokokwa has a family in Zimbabwe but there are simple explanations that passed the test of employment relations. We hope Hawks to move faster on this matter.We can’t every time that some raises allegations against someone we suspend that person,” he says.

eNCA | EFF warns Minister over state interference in SABC appointments

You Need Posted on by

JOHANNESBURG – Communications Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane has come under fire from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), who accused her of interfering with independence of the SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) board.

The EFF reacted to Kubayi-Ngubane’s statement that Cabinet was responsible for appointment processes of executives at the public broadcaster. 

”We reject this as yet another attempt to interfere with the independence of the SABC board in doing its work. On 6 December 2017, the North Gauteng High Court ordered that the appointment of executive members of the SABC must be done by non-executive members of the SABC board,” the EFF said.

WATCH: SABC’s finances under scrutiny again

”The court further indicated that appointments will be done after consultation with the minister, which means that her opinion is not binding to the choices of executive appointments by the board.”

This followed weekend media reports that MTN’s group executive for corporate affairs Chris Maroleng would take over as chief operating officer at the SABC, replacing highly controversial former COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng.

Kubayi-Ngubane on Monday denied the appointment.

”The minister wishes to advise the media that all appointments of the chief operating officer, chief executive officer and chief financial officer of state-owned entities are done through Cabinet processes and therefore the announcements of the outcome are made by Cabinet,” she said in a statement. ”It is the minister’s responsibility to present any appointment of executives of the SOEs under the department of communications through Cabinet processes. To this end, the Minister has no knowledge of any official appointment of a COO of SABC.”

The EFF urged Kubayi-Ngubane to respect appointment processes by the board. ”We advise Kubayi-Ngubane to resist returning the public broadcaster into the route of disreputable political interference it suffered under [former communication minister] Faith Muthambi. The idea that the SABC is a public broadcaster rests precisely and entirely in respecting the appointment process of executives. If these are to be done by Cabinet, then not only will the SABC board be rendered irrelevant, it will mean ours is now fully a state broadcaster.”
