News24.com | Jake White ahead of Currie Cup final: ‘There’s a buzz in the changeroom’

You Need Posted on by

  • Jake White said there was a buzz about in the Bulls changeroom ahead of their Currie Cup final clash against the Sharks at Loftus on Saturday.
  • He wants his charges to enjoy the occasion and embrace the fact that they earned a home final after topping the log.
  • White said handling finals pressure doesn’t get easier with time, even if one has won the Rugby World Cup before.

Director of rugby Jake White said there was a buzz in the Bulls changeroom ahead of their make-or-break Currie Cup final against the Sharks at Loftus on Saturday (3pm kick-off).

The Bulls are in pole position to hoist the trophy for the first time in over a decade after earning the top log spot and earning a home final, following their defeat of the Lions in the semi-finals.

“It’s going to be tough but I’m fully confident. We’ve been waiting to be in a final,” said White, who guided the Bulls to the Super Rugby Unlocked trophy in this his first year in charge.

“We haven’t won it for ages but it’s so nice to be in the changeroom because there’s a buzz.

“When there’s a buzz, all you must do is just fuel it. You’ve got to keep helping the youngsters understand what they’ve got.

“It’s going to be a final, no different to the previous Currie Cup finals. It’s going to be a massive game.

“All I’ve got to do is channel the players in the right way, get them to understand that they are playing at home and it’s a great opportunity for them.

“Hollywood stars don’t become world champion boxers. There’s a reason they come out of the ghettos – it’s because they’re hungry.

“We haven’t won for 11 year, so let’s see.”

The Bulls, led by Springbok World Cup-winner Duane Vermeulen, are up against a Sharks team that has struggled on the highveld since the restart after the pandemic outbreak.

However, Sean Everitt’s men showed they have the guts to win away from home with a tough victory over Western Province at Newlands last week that put them on the path to the final.

White said his message to his Bulls charges would purely be to enjoy and embrace the occasion – not worry too much about the pressure.

“My message is going to be just enjoy it,” said White.

“They’ve worked really hard to get a home final. We’ve shown that we can beat these sides.

“There will always be pressure but I just want them to enjoy it and to go out there and embrace the situation.

“I want them to believe that the work we’ve done during the year is going to be good enough for them to get a result if they do it.”

Being a World Cup-winning Bok coach himself from 2007 in France, White said he hoped to draw on his fast experience as a well-travelled head coach that’s worked in many countries and faced similar high-pressure moments in the past.

“I don’t think it gets easier because the expectation becomes greater and greater,” he said.

“When you’ve tasted, you’ve felt what it’s like to win, you want to win again.

“But in saying that, in 2007 sitting in the World Cup final changing room we only had Os du Randt who had won a World Cup and England had about 14 or 15 guys who won it in 2003.

“Thompson, Vickery, Kay, Wilkinson, Cueto … the list goes on and on. The reality that hit was how much experience counted.

“Let’s not forget that Thomas du Toit, Lukhanyo Am, Aphelele Fassi, Curwin Bosch have won the Currie Cup and some guys who were at Free State like Henco Venter and Ox Nche have won it as well.

“That counts for a lot. That’s where coaches and players feel pressure.

“You want to put them in that situation but you always know how much experience counts for.

“Does it get easier? No, it doesn’t. But I’m hoping that the experience I’ve got and lessons I’ve learnt can transfer into the players as well.”

News24.com | Mboweni sacks full audit regulatory board over appointment of tainted Tongaat Hulett exec as CEO

You Need Posted on by

Nonkululeko Gobodo and former president of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Major General Roy Andersen will be caretakers at the IRBA until a new board is appointed.

Nonkululeko Gobodo and former president of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Major General Roy Andersen will be caretakers at the IRBA until a new board is appointed.

  • Several board members had resigned since the new CEO was installed. 
  • The finance ministry said the dissolution of the board was in line with legislation governing the auditing profession. 
  • Nonkululeko Gobodo and former president of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Major General Roy Andersen, will be appointed as caretakers until a new board is appointed.

Finance Minister Tito Mboweni has dissolved the board of South Africa’s auditing watchdog following a series of resignation of board members since the new CEO was installed.

In a statement issued on Thursday afternoon, the finance ministry said Mboweni met with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors’ (IRBA) board on Tuesday to discuss the resignation of a number of board members.

After giving all board members the opportunity to express their views on the matter, he saw that it was best to dissolve the current board, which has been in place since July last year.

“After careful consideration and, amongst others, taking into account the resignation of a number of board members and challenges in the functioning of the board, the Minister dissolved the BoD, in line with section 12(5) of the Auditing Profession Act (APA),” read the statement issued.

“This decision was taken in the best interest of the institution and the auditing profession,” it added.

Nonkululeko Gobodo and former president of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Major General Roy Andersen, will be appointed as caretakers until a new board is appointed, a process that the Minister expects to be concluded within three months.

It is not clear how many board members have resigned recently, as no public announcements were made by the IRBA in this regard. But Fin24 understand that several board members resigned in protest at the appointment of CEO Jenitha John, who had headed the audit committee of Tongaat Hulett.

John was appointed as the CEO of the IRBA in April 2020. Her appointment was met with immediate public outcry with civil society group, the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA), and opposition party the Democratic Alliance (DA), who said this created a conflict of interest given her previous role in role in Tongaat Hulett. Now she was installed in the highest seat of the organisation that was supposed to investigate Tongaat Hulett and be a custodian of good auditing practises in the country.

At the time, Mboweni promised to discuss these concerns and that if they were legitimate, John’s appointment would possibly be reviewed.

It was a problematic board to begin with

When the new IRBA board was appointed in July, it brought back members who were part of the previous board that appointed John as CEO, even though her own appointment had ruffled feathers. The board was appointed by Mboweni.

OUTA CEO, Wayne Duvenage, said the Minister should also take lessons from this fallout because he ought to have put people that were independent in the first place.

“Bringing old members of the board after a questionable decision they made which was brought to his attention was silly of the Minister,” he said.

Duvenage said John had “baggage” that any impartial board member would have been uncomfortable with.

“Institutions like the IRBA and other watchdogs and oversight entities need to be led by people who have no baggage, no integrity question mark,” he added.

However, the OUTA thinks the IRBA needs an interim board rather than caretakers – but that not a single person from the previous board must be re-appointed.

28 January 2021 – SARS extends Filing Season Provisional Taxpayer deadline for online filers

You Need Posted on by

Pretoria, Thursday 28 January 2021 – The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has noted with deep concern the unprecedented health challenge manifested through COVID-19 with the accompanying loss of lives and livelihoods. SARS wishes to convey its sincere and deepest condolences to those that have lost their loved ones and wish a speedy recovery to those who are convalescing at home or in hospital.

In light of these challenges, SARS has taken a decision to extend the Filing Season deadline for provisional taxpayers, which is currently set for 29 January 2021, to 15 February 2021.

In line with SARS’ communication on steps taken to prevent the spread of COVID19 and protect both the taxpayers and SARS staff, taxpayers are encouraged to use eFiling or the SARS MobiApp.

SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter said, “The decision to extend the Filing Season,  was taken with due consideration of the traumatic effects being experienced by taxpayers who have lost loved ones, as well as businesses who have lost staff, during the devastating second wave of Covid-19.

The Commissioner also urges taxpayers who received auto-assessment notices last year but who have not yet accepted the auto-assessments, or edited and filed a return in response to the notice, to make use of this opportunity to do so.

The Commissioner urged all these taxpayers to comply with their legal obligations by 15 February 2021, as it is vital that all taxpayers remain compliant. Failure to comply with their legal obligations will result in administrative penalties being levied.

He added that SARS has a legislative mandate to collect revenue due and to ensure compliance across all segments of taxpayers, as well as traders in the Customs arena.

“While SARS believes that most taxpayers and traders comply voluntarily and want to do the right thing, we also have measures we can use to enforce compliance. However, such enforcement always remains a last resort,” the Commissioner added.
