eNCA | WATCH: ANC MP probes DA Chief Whip’s dirty bedroom sheets

You Need Posted on by

CAPE TOWN – State capture has been cast into the limelight as the MP’s debate the ongoing issues that have dogged President Jacob Zuma, who is the central figure in the allegations.

During the debate an ANC MP (who is not named or seen in the video) hurled a personal attack on DA’s Chief Whip John Steenhuisen.

The ANC MP asks if Steenhuisen is equipped to answer a question on how he departed the KZN legislature.

Steenhuisen replies by saying that he simply got promoted and that is why he left eThekweni. He adds that the matter is private and that people who are “interested in what’s going on in other peoples bedrooms have very little going on in their own.”

ANC MP, Lusizo Makhubela-Mashele points out that, “Our primary role as MPs in the national assembly is to ensure that proper accountability and governance of all state organs occur.”

The debate was requested by the DA to give a chance to the MP’s to address the issue of state capture in the National Assembly.

This debate is seen as a parliamentary duty to hold President Zuma and other executives accountable for violating the Ethics Code by not inspecting Gupta links and ignoring the recommendations made by former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela.

News24.com | R22.5m for VVIP flights: Defence dept overspends budget

You Need Posted on by

Cape Town – The Department of Defence has overspent on VVIP flights by R22.5m since 2015, a parliamentary reply has revealed.

DA defence and military veterans spokesperson Kobus Marais submitted questions to Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, asking how much she had budgeted for VIP flights in the last three financial years.

Marais also asked how much of that budget had been spent.

In addition, the DA wanted to know how many VIP flights the department had taken since April 1, 2017, and the cost of each flight.

In her reply, Mapisa-Nqakula used the term “VVIP charter flights”.

She revealed that the department overshot its R26.8m budget and spent more than R61m in the 2016/17 financial year.

Money wasted on ‘luxuries for the political elite’

The department underspent its budget for the 2015/16 financial year, while it was still within its budget for VVIP charter flights for the 2017/18 financial year with there having been 10 flights for very, very, important people.

The most expensive flight cost the department more than R6.6m, followed by a R4.6m flight.

It is not clear who was flying and where they were headed.

The reply showed that the department had overspent by R22.5m over three financial years.

The DA said it would ask further parliamentary questions to determine exactly which VVIPs were transported, whether or not they were on official business and who accompanied them.

“This is what happens when President Jacob Zuma refuses to fly on the perfectly functional presidential jet, Inkwazi.”

Marais said the government could have used the money to build toilets and RDP homes for poor communities.

“The DA will not sit idly while the ANC continues to waste money on luxuries for the political elite at the expense of millions of South Africans who are forced to survive without the most basic of services,” he said.

Sport24.co.za | Bok replacements need to up workrate

You Need Posted on by

Cardiff – While the Welsh test this Saturday may be seen more as a reality check than a season-defining fixture, the questions surrounding the Springboks focus more on their own game plan than anything that the home side may serve up at the Principality stadium.

READ: Coetzee – Boks are moving in the right direction

The Boks have lost their four “foreign legion” players – and none more crucial than the duo of Duane Vermeulen and Francois Louw this week, both returning to their respective European clubs as the test falls outside the set test window.

Both players lent the Springboks stability and workrate, often doing more off the ball than in the limelight as they steadied the ship after the Albany and Dublin disasters in this year’s Springbok season.

Still, both players need to be replaced and while the replacements may well be easier to pick than many think at this stage of the season, the responsibility on those players remains massive in light of the workrate of both players both on and off the ball during the matches.

Take the Italian game – a match where the Boks dominated physically against a poor Italian side that offered little in terms of attack. The Boks returned to their strengths by playing most of the game without the ball and ensuring the defensive line wasn’t breached. To think that the scoreline favoured them so heavily when they had 40 percent possession and 37 percent territory in the game shows the resoluteness of the Springbok forwards in atrocious conditions in Padova.

The tackle count naturally was also higher and Louw contributed no less than 22 tackles, matched only by hard-working duo of lock Lood de Jager and flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit, who both managed 22 tackles on their own. Vermeulen wasn’t far behind with 14 tackles while he also took the ball up 11 times for a net gain of 28 metres.

Both were instrumental in marshalling the defence and did the donkeywork, the unseen work that often goes on off the ball and both will be missed.

While Siya Kolisi has a high work-rate, the question on who will fill the No 8 jersey will be an interesting one. Dan du Preez has deputised from the bench for the past two test matches, and is seen as a potential star of the future while both Cheetahs players Uzair Cassiem and Oupa Mohoje could also come into reckoning for the position.

Either way, Vermeulen’s physicality will be missed, and the Boks should look to replace like for like when they make that decision.

Still, with Tendai Mtawarira missing out on the test, Steven Kitshoff has shown himself already to be an excellent replacement – not only through some strong scrummaging but also in making a massive 16 tackles – coming off the bench as a reserve. Along with Malcolm Marx returning it should give the Boks back some of the physicality they lose with Vermeulen and Louw gone.

Out back, the two standout backs – Handre Pollard and Francois Venter put in 27 tackles between them, more than the rest of the backline combined and showed just how strong they worked together against the Italians.

Wales will be a lot tougher though – and their stats underline that – having had 63 percent possession and 67 percent territory against the All Blacks and dominating all the stats except the scoreboard.

They have a 97 percent success rate at the rucks against the All Blacks and their star flanker Josh Navidi had 14 runs for 45 metres and is a key man in their line-up.

Since the Ireland defeat there has been a sense that the rest of the tour has been more about survival than taking a step forward. Cardiff will be a difficult test that will provide the team with some stern challenges at the breakdown – and losing two of the most senior leaders in the pack hasn’t helped.

It will take a huge effort from the rest to ensure that the workrate doesn’t dip and that the Welsh don’t have the same possession and territory stats as they did against the All Blacks.

Health24.com | Etiquette mistakes we make at gym

You Need Posted on by

Working out at your local gym has many benefits: You have a great variety of classes and equipment at your disposal.

But chances are there are things that annoy you and others gym users. You yourself could even be guilty of breaking some of these gym rules:

1.       Not putting away the equipment
Ask anyone who regularly works out in the free-weight section what their biggest annoyance is and it would undoubtedly be weights that aren’t put back where they belong.

Don’t be the person who leaves a set of dumbbells on the floor. If you used them, put them back where you found them. The same applies to Swiss balls, yoga mats and steps.

2.       Not wiping the equipment
We’ve all spotted the person who sweats buckets on the spinning bike and nonchalantly walks away without even wiping off the seat.

Don’t be that person. Always wipe down your equipment, including treadmill handles and weights.

3.       Hogging the equipment

We can see you! You’re occupying the last open bench, but instead of working out, you’re checking your phone for messages.

4.       Being stuck to your phone

When using your phone, please keep the people around you in mind. You could be distracting or annoying them. A lot of us use our phones for fitness apps or music, but if you have your phone with you, be mindful of how you use it. Don’t have long or loud conversations! Sending a text message or checking your phone during an exercise class is extremely disrespectful towards the instructor. Also, walking around in the gym, head down, makes it easier for you to bump into people.

5.       Overdoing the perfume
Don’t go to town with the perfume or deodorant at the gym, especially in an enclosed area like your spinning class. People might find it overpowering. And you’re going to sweat anyway, so why waste that expensive perfume.

6.       Making small talk

There’s nothing wrong with a polite smile and a chat. But if you give unsolicited advice to strangers and interrupt people’s workout, you’re being annoying. The only time to speak up and interfere is when you see someone about to injure themselves.

7.       Coming to the gym when you’re ill

Don’t be a hero! Not only do you risk getting sicker, but gyms are breeding grounds for bacteria and you can easily spread your germs around, contaminating those around you.

8.       Train in front of the equipment racks

Space might be limited, but don’t make things worse by blocking off access to the weight rack or yoga mats. Be considerate and move to another spot.

26 November 2017 – 5.6-million tax returns submitted with R18.5 billion refunds paid to individuals

You Need Posted on by

Pretoria, 26 November 2017 – The South African Revenue Service (SARS) paid R18.5 billion to 2.22 million taxpayers at the close of tax season for non-provisional taxpayers- a 26% increase from last year, on Friday, 24 November.

These refunds apply to returns filed for the 2016/2017 tax year which have been submitted during Tax Season 2017 (01 July – 24 November).

In total, R19.8 billion in refunds has been paid to individuals for this financial year to date, inclusive of prior year returns, directly contributing to household incomes and the domestic economy.   

93.63% of returns processed within 24 hours

A total of 88.47% of tax returns were assessed within 3 seconds, and 93.63% within 24 hours.  A total of 91.98% of taxpayers due for a refund that was not routed for audit or risk verification received their refund in less than 72 hours. 

R2.7-billion fraudulent claims prevented

Significantly, during Tax Season 2017, SARS prevented R2.7 billion in fraudulent claims in the Personal Income Tax environment, saving the fiscus of potential revenue loss. This was a R900 million (50%) improvement from last year where R1.8 billion in fraudulent claims was prevented during the same period (Tax Season). 

5.67 million tax returns submitted

SARS received 5.67 million returns, inclusive of returns filed for prior years, by Friday, 24 November 2017, which marked the close of tax season for non-provisional taxpayers. 

Provisional taxpayers have until 31 January 2017 to file their tax returns via eFiling. 

The submissions received comprise the following:

  • 4.289 million returns filed for the relevant tax year, 2016/2017, which sees an increase of 3.1% from last year’s figure of 4.16 million.

  • 1.28 million returns filed for prior years  – 1.19% less than last year’s figure of 1.48 million.

  • 44 782 submissions by trusts for the 2016/17 tax year. 

  • 53 054 submissions by trusts for prior years.   

A total 94% of expected returns from individuals were submitted on time, exceeding last year’s rate of 91%. The returns expected are informed by last year’s submissions and IRP5 information from employers, excluding provisional taxpayers. 

The introduction of e-DNA ensured the biometric authentication of taxpayers and the increased security of personal information. This has significantly reduced the payment of refunds into fraudulent accounts.  

Extended operating hours and uptake in digital channels

Due to high volumes, SARS branches and the Contact Centre extended operating hours, with selected branches countrywide opening on Saturdays, assisting in excess of 50 000 taxpayers to file outside of normal working hours.

There was a notable increase in the uptake of SARS’ digital channels such as the recently introduced “Help-You- eFile” service on eFiling and the SARS mobi-app, facilitating the migration from going to a branch to the use of online channels that offer the taxpayer a leisurely and convenient means of filing.

To aid this further, SARS introduced Help-you-efile, a service that allows eFilers instant access to a SARS tax agent by clicking a button if they required assistance while on their own eFiling profile.  A total of 234 666 taxpayers used the Help You e-File channel – 35% higher than last year.  Similarly, and equally pleasing, is that 47 605 taxpayers submitted their 2017 tax returns using the SARS mobi-app, a 7.3% increase from last year.

The Contact Centre’s call-back functionality – a service that allows taxpayers to prompt a call-back from SARS during high call volumes – allowed for shorter call queues coupled with more opportunities to educate and enable taxpayers to adopt eFiling as a future filing channel.

Commenting on Tax Season Commissioner Moyane said, “SARS wishes to express its appreciation to all those taxpayers who submitted their tax returns before the deadline. Paying tax is the highest form of patriotism.

With this in mind, SARS wishes to assert that the organization remains resolute, focused and single-minded about meeting our revenue collection target for South Africa.

“SARS also wishes to thank all its employees for their efforts in making Tax Season successful. The focus, discipline and selfless service of the men and women of SARS is what makes SARS one of the best revenue services in the world”.
