News24.com | Dustin Johnson romps to maiden Masters title, SA’s Frittelli fourth

You Need Posted on by

Top-ranked Dustin Johnson shook off an early stumble to win the Masters in record-breaking fashion on Sunday, capturing his second major title with the lowest total score in the tournament’s history.

As it happened | The Masters

The 36-year-old American, who grew up only an hour’s drive north of Augusta National, became the first reigning world number one to grab the green jacket since Tiger Woods in 2002.

Johnson, whose other major victory came at the 2016 US Open, fired a closing four-under-par 68 to finish on a 72-hole Masters record 20-under-par for a five-stroke triumph over South Korean Im Sung-jae and Australian Cameron Smith.

Johnson smashed the old 72-hole Masters mark of 18-under 270 set by Woods in 1997 and matched by Jordan Spieth in 2015.

Third-ranked American Justin Thomas was fourth on 276, one stroke ahead of fifth-ranked Rory McIlroy and South Africa’s Dylan Frittelli.

Johnson, who began with a four-shot edge, had never converted a 54-hole major lead into a title, stumbling at the 2010, 2015 and 2018 US Opens and in August’s PGA Championship, where he settled for a runner-up spot.

That hex ended on Sunday, but not without some early drama as Johnson, runner-up in three of the past six majors including the 2019 Masters, saw his lead trimmed to one.

After curling in a 12-foot birdie putt at the par-4 third, Johnson made back-to-back bogeys at the fifth and par-3 sixth, ending a run of 33 bogey-free holes.

Im birdied the second and third to stand only one adrift on 14-under, but he faded with bogeys at the par-3 sixth and par-4 seventh.

‘Amazing ability’

Johnson responded with six-foot birdie putts at the sixth and par-5 eighth to reach 17-under, stretching his gap to three on Smith, four on Im.

Johnson was unflappable from there with deadly accuracy and consistency.

He sank a 12-footer for birdie at the par-5 13th and a six-footer to birdie the 14th to reach 19-under, seizing a five-shot edge with four holes remaining.

“DJ has just an amazing ability to stay calm in tough moments,” Woods said. There’s no one more suited to that, I think, than DJ.”

Johnson sank a five-foot birdie putt at the par-3 16th and parred in for his 24th career PGA title, his four bogeys on the week the fewest of any Masters champion.

Im was trying to become the first Masters debut winner since 1979 and only the second male Asian major winner after compatriot Yang Yong-eun captured the 2009 PGA Championship.

Smith, a 27-year-old from Brisbane chasing his first major crown, closed on 69 and settled for becoming the first player in Masters history to shoot all four rounds in the 60s.

Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, needing a green jacket to complete a career Grand Slam, went three-under on the front nine but made bogey on 10 and never threatened Johnson.

Woods horror show

McIlroy, unable to recover from a first-round 75, took some solace after a sixth failed attempt to complete the career Slam.

“I didn’t have a great start but over the last 54 holes, only two bogeys, a lot of great golf in there,” McIlroy said. “Not overthinking it as much could be the key for me.”

Defending champion Woods found Rae’s Creek three times on his way to a septuple-bogey 10 at the par-3 12th, his worst score ever on a major hole. He responded with birdies on five of the last six holes to close on 76 and finish on 287.

“Hit a few too many shots than I wanted,” Woods said. “Had a lot more experiences there in Rae’s Creek.”

The 15-time major winner, a five-time Masters champion, matched his best Augusta start with a 68 but back pain doomed his bid for a sixth green jacket.

Germany’s Bernhard Langer, a two-time Masters champion and at 63 the oldest player to make any Masters cut, fired a 71 to finish on 285.

That was one stroke better than US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, who closed on 73, never coming close to overpowering Augusta National as some feared. He struggled with dizziness, testing negative Friday for Covid-19.

“I had some weird things happen to me I just couldn’t forsee,” DeChambeau said. “I’ve got to fix this dizziness or whatever is going on. I’ve got to get healthy first and foremost.”

American Andy Ogletree closed on 72 to finish as low amateur on 286.

There were no spectators to provide trademark Masters roars due to the Covid-19 pandemic that postponed the event from its usual April slot.

OPINION | Unpacking the legal and ethical aspects of South Africa’s Covid-19 track and trace app

Research models have found that the more people use these apps, the more transmission of the disease can be reduced and the more scope there is to ease quarantine measures.

The most effective way to stop the spread of a virus is to prevent contact with everyone who is infected. Those who are infected can be isolated and treated if necessary. To determine who they are, it’s necessary to actively look for and manage cases.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, emerging technologies are being repurposed to help trace whoever has been in contact with an infected person.

Some of these technologies, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, are not new. GPS has been used to find accident victims at precise geographic locations. Some of the uses of Wi-Fi are oxygen monitoring devices, smart beds, access to electronic medical records and real-time access to X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging scans.

Now, these tools can also help do one of the most important jobs in the pandemic: track and trace. They allow people some movement and economic activity, with the ability to manage their own risk of being exposed to possible infection or spreading any infection.

Health Minister Zweli Mkhize.

South Africa’s second wave of Covid-19 cases could surpass the number of cases experienced at the country’s peak.

In a media briefing, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize compared countries currently expecting a second wave, such as Spain, France, the UK and the US – which have all shown a higher rate of infection during their second wave.

On home soil, Mkhize highlighted that cases were currently increasing in the Eastern Cape, Western Cape and Northern Cape.

The total number of positive cases had increased to 751 024, of which 37 316 were active cases, after an increase of 1 842 cases.

The death toll currently stood at 20 241, an increase of 35 deaths.

However, Mkhize cautioned that the cluster outbreaks in the province did not necessarily equate to a second wave. He added that a resurgence was defined as a 20% increase in the average number of cases over a seven-day period.

“We can’t say if the second wage has arrived. We’re just seeing cluster activity. It depends on how we manage the situation in the Eastern Cape and other areas. If contained, the surge could peter out. If we don’t manage it properly, [the outbreak] might start spreading. The activity is still quiet in a number of areas,” he said.

Mkhize added that he would be visiting the Eastern Cape this week and was expected to announce further interventions once in the province.

News24.com | EXPLAINER | Can the Bushiris be extradited to SA to appear in court? These are the SADC protocols

You Need Posted on by

Shepherd Bushiri has skipped the country, despite bail conditions expressly prohibiting any form of international travel.

Shepherd Bushiri has skipped the country, despite bail conditions expressly prohibiting any form of international travel.

Frennie Shivambu, Gallo Images

  • The controversial Bushiris who face a fraud and money laundering case have fled to their homeland, Malawi. 
  • Malawi is a signatory of SADC extradition protocols. 
  • According to the protocols, a state requesting to extradite needs to submit supporting documents and state the offences the person it seeks has committed. 

South Africa on Saturday woke up to news that self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd “Major 1” Bushiri and his wife Mary had left the country and were back in their homeland, Malawi. 

The couple left the country amid their ongoing case in which they are accused alongside three others for fraud and money laundering worth R102 million. 

Just two weeks ago, the duo was granted R200 000 bail by the Pretoria Central Magistrate’s Court. Among their bail conditions were that they report to their nearest police station every Monday and Friday and not leave the country. 

While the Hawks said they had been working on tracking down the couple after they failed to report to the station on Friday, many on social media platforms have been asking if they could be extradited back to South Africa. 

What is an extradition?

Extradition was performed when one country handed over a person who faces a crime in another country, outside its jurisdiction, to law enforcement authorities. 

Does South Africa have an extradition treaty with Malawi?

Malawi is a member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) along with South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lesotho, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. 

The member states of SADC had a signed agreement and protocol on extraditions. 

According to the document, which was signed by the countries on 3 October 2002, the states agreed to extradition, in line with provisions of the set protocols and their respective domestic laws.

Justice Minister Ronald Lamola, through his Twitter page, acknowledged that Malawi was a signatory of the SADC protocols on extraditions, adding that the country would not “hesitate” invoking the provisions in order to assist law enforcement agencies to extradite fugitives of justice. 

What offences are extraditable according to SADC protocols?

Offences that are punishable under the laws of each member state may lead to extradition. The SADC protocol stated that where a request for extradition was for a person wanted for a sentencing or other deprivation of liberty imposed for the offence, it may be refused if a period of less than six months of the sentence remain to be served.

The protocol also stipulated that extradition may not be refused where a person was sought for an offence related to taxation, customs duties, exchange control or other revenue cases. 

It added that the refusal may not be made on the grounds that if the law of the state extradition is sought from, did not impose the same kind of tax or duty or did not contain tax, customs duty or exchange regulations of the same kind as the law of the requesting state. 

As part of the SADC protocol mandatory grounds for refusal was if a person whose extradition was requested had been, or would be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment or if the person had not received guarantees in criminal proceedings. 

What must happen if one state wants to request an extradition?

A state wishing to extradite shall do so in writing and submit supporting documents which would be sent through diplomatic channels between the respective justice ministries. 

A country wishing to extradite a fugitive must give an accurate description of the person it sought as well as relevant information to assist in identifying them. 

The protocol also state:

The requested state, if not precluded by its laws, may grant extradition after receipt of a request for provisional arrest, provided that the person sought explicitly consents, before a competent authority, to be extradited.

A state requesting an extradition may apply for a provisional arrest of the person in question. It can do this by sending a request to another state through diplomatic channels, or through the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol). 

The Bushiris handed their travel documents to the investigating officer and were also barred from applying for any travel documents pending their court case, News24 reported. 

Bushiri lambasted the prosecution for taking long, also accusing the investigators for being biased. 

He also made several demands to the South African government, asking that his family’s safety be assured before they could return. 

He also demanded an assurance that his and his wife’s bail would not be revoked.
