News24.com | Nelson Mandela Bay speaker blames Covid-19 as one of the reasons for not holding mayoral elections

You Need Posted on by
Former Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality mayor Mongameli Bobani.

Former Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality mayor Mongameli Bobani.

  • The speaker of the Nelson Mandela Bay metro says Covid-19 regulations are part of the reason the metro has not elected a new mayor. 
  • The metro has been without an elected mayor since December. 
  • Buyelwa Mafaya was responding to a High Court challenge by the DA which seeks to interdict and force her to convene an election meeting.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipal council does not see the urgency of appointing a mayor due to Covid-19 regulations, its speaker, Buyelwa Mafaya, has argued.

Mafaya was responding to a High Court challenge by the DA to force her to call a council meeting to elect a mayor. 

The DA filed the urgent challenge in Port Elizabeth. 

The party said with the threatened dissolution of the council by the Cogta MEC due to the metro failing to elect a new mayor, Mafaya has legally infringed its right. 

The metro has been without a mayor since the UDM’s Mongameli Bobani was booted out via a vote of no confidence in December 2019.

He was removed after his alliance with the ANC and the so-called Black Caucus coalition – made up of the UDM, AIC, EFF, United Front and the Patriotic Alliance – collapsed. 

His removal led to the ANC voting in his deputy, Thsonono Buyeye, as acting mayor.

The vacant mayoral position has led to Cogta MEC Xolile Nqatha writing to the metro that he intended to place it under administration.

Mafaya argued the DA had failed to legally produce 62 signatories on two separate occasions to allow for an election. 

In three instances when the DA petitioned her, she said councillors who signed the petition had opted out. 

“Once more prior to June 25, the two UDM councilors, who formed part of the signatories to the meeting request aforementioned, informed me in writing that the UDM no longer supports the meeting request. I did not convene the requested meeting as the DA coalition no longer had majority support”.

In July, Nqatha wrote to the municipality and instructed it to give reasons within seven days as to why he should not place it under administration.

In doing so, he would invoke Section 139(1) of the Constitution.

In the letter, which News24 has seen, Nqatha said the decision was based on the persistent failure of the metro to fill the mayoral position that was vacant for more than six months.

Other reasons included the appointment of an unqualified official to act as municipal manager, and National Treasury’s impending invocation of Section 216(2) of the Constitution.

Treasury has also written to the metro with the intent to withhold hundreds of millions worth of grants after it failed to elect a mayor.

Mafaya, however, said there was never a vacuum in the mayoral office.

She added the council did not see it necessary to appoint a mayor given Covid-19 regulations and the difficulty and complexity that went with the election of an executive mayor. 

Mafaya said Cogta Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma directed that all council meetings be held virtually which would hinder the voting process.  

“There is no doubt that there will be more than one candidate nominated during the election process,” she said, “which meant voting must be cast in secret ballot. 

“From the aforementioned, it is clear that any voting for the election of an executive mayor must be done by way of secret ballot and each councillor must be present at the meeting during such voting,” she added.

  • SA Rugby has welcomed the decision by the South African government that will allow for the return of local rugby.
  • This will only happen if certain conditions are met, including playing at empty stadiums.
  • If everything goes according to plan, SA Rugby are hoping for a mid-September return for the sport.

Jurie Roux, CEO of SA Rugby has welcomed the fact that rugby has been given the green light to return by Nathi Mthethwa, the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture.

This will only happen if certain conditions are met, however.

This includes measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and that contact training as well as matches must be carried out without spectators.

Only limited people will be allowed to attend games as part of essential services to make these events possible and from within a “bio safe environment”.

“Since the start of this pandemic, we have been working hard at ensuring we get back on the field and we’ve kept the government informed on our plans throughout the process,” said Roux.

“We are very grateful for the opportunity to move to the next phase of our return-to-play plans and will provide the Department with all the necessary information required, such as venues for matches, to ensure a smooth transition to competitive rugby.

“Having said that, our eight franchise teams that returned to the training field recently still need a few more weeks of preparation before they will be ready for matches, and from SA Rugby’s side we will assist them with whatever is necessary.

“At this stage, we hope to have our first matches by early to mid-September and our plans on the structure of the planned competition will be announced in due course, as we have various options to consider.”

The Bulls, Lions, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs, Southern Kings, Griquas and Pumas have all started with non-contact training over the last few weeks.

At this point, a return to international competition is not possible under the new regulations but Roux hopes this will change in the coming months.

“We know the World Rugby window for the Rugby Championship is only in November and December, so we’re hopeful that in due course the government will be in a position to further relax the restrictions,” said Roux.

“For now, the most important thing is to ensure we get the action underway as we have many stakeholders, such as our broadcast partner, competition and team sponsors and our supporters, who are keen to see rugby again.”

News24.com | Covid-19 corruption: Ramaphosa appoints Cabinet committee to deal with tenders

You Need Posted on by

President Cyril Ramaphosa.

President Cyril Ramaphosa.

  • President Cyril Ramaphosa has set up a Cabinet committee to deal with alleged procurement corruption.
  • The committee will comprise six Cabinet members, led by Justice Minister Ronald Lamola. 
  • Ramaphosa says he wants to make all information public about tenders issued by government departments. 

President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed a six-member Cabinet committee to deal with all allegations of corruption related to Covid-19 procurement. 

In a leaked letter to ministers, Ramaphosa said following Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting, he had appointed the committee which would be chaired by Justice Minister Ronald Lamola. 

Other members include Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni, Police Minister Bheki Cele, Public Service and Administration Minister Senzo Mchunu and Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. 

“In this regards, I request your full cooperation in providing all information related to names of companies and amounts of tenders and contracts that have been awarded in your respective departments [and entities] during the period of Covid-19 and national state of disaster,” Ramaphosa wrote in the letter.

“These lists must be provided to the above committee as a matter of urgency this week. The committee will prepare a comprehensive report and I intend to release this information publicly”.

READ | Covid-19 corruption: ANC NEC embarrassed by allegations, says public outrage is justified

In a statement released on Thursday, Ramaphosa’s acting spokesperson Tyrone Seale said the committee will look into corruption with regard to the procurement of goods and services sourced for the purpose of containing and responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, and it includes the procurement of personal protective equipment (PPE). 

“To assist the committee in its assessment of Covid-19-related procurement, President Ramaphosa has requested all ministers and premiers to provide information on the names of companies and details of tenders and contracts that have been awarded in national departments, provincial governments and public entities during the period of the national state of disaster,” he said. 

Ministers have to urgently comply with the directive this week, Ramaphosa’s office said. 

“The committee will prepare a comprehensive report, which the president intends to release as public information”.

Ramaphosa’s bid to make all tenders related to Covid-19 procurement public comes as the government grapples with allegations of graft in what was meant to be a quick process to ensure that South Africa has a steady supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) as well as other goods and services during the pandemic.

There are a litany of reports of how family members and friends of politicians scored government contracts, how the state overpaid for goods, and how millions have been looted amid the state of disaster. 

Now, National Treasury has ended the emergency procurement process for PPE, and said it was back to business as usual for government suppliers.

Seale said the Cabinet decision reinforces Ramaphosa’s determination that there should be no theft, no wastage and no mismanagement of public funds as the country fights Covid-19. 

“The president warned that the consequences for those who broke the law – whether they are in the public or private sectors – would be severe”.

Health24.com | Covid-19 spreads quickly in crowded homes and poor neighbourhoods

You Need Posted on by

  • A team studied the connection between neighbourhood characteristics and infection with SARS-CoV-2
  • Crowded homes and poverty increased risk of infection
  • How densely populated the neighbourhoods were had little effect on the spread of infection

Poverty and crowded living conditions increase the spread of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, a new study suggests.

Researchers reached that conclusion after testing nearly 400 women who gave birth at two hospitals in New York City during the peak of the Covid-19 outbreak.

“Our study shows that neighbourhood socioeconomic status and household crowding are strongly associated with risk of infection. This may explain why Black and Hispanic people living in these neighbourhoods are disproportionately at risk for contracting the virus,” researcher Dr Alexander Melamed said in a Columbia University news release.

Melamed is an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City.

Specifically, Melamed’s team studied the connection between neighbourhood characteristics and infection with the virus that causes Covid-19.

Population density not a big risk

The investigators found that women living in neighbourhoods with crowded households were three times more likely to be infected with the virus.

Poverty was also a factor. Women living in poor neighbourhoods were twice as likely to be infected, although this finding didn’t reach statistical significance because of the small sample size, the researchers said.

Population density, however, didn’t play a part in the risk for infection, they noted.

According to researcher Dr Cynthia Gyamfi-Bannerman, “One may think that because New York City is so dense, there’s little that can slow the spread of the virus, but our study suggests the risk of infection is related to household, rather than urban density.” Gyamfi-Bannerman is a professor of women’s health at Columbia.

“For our pregnant patients, that may mean counselling women about the risk of infection if they are considering bringing in other family members to help during pregnancy or postpartum,” she said.

Melamed added that the findings could help public health officials target preventive measures, such as distributing masks or culturally relevant educational information, to the appropriate neighbourhoods.

The report was published online on June in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
