News24.com | LIVE: ‘There was no violation of Zuma’s rights’ – State argues at #ZumaTrial
In the DA’s quest for Mpshe’s decision to be set aside, there were two interlocutory applications (which contributed to the lengthy delays). Together, these applications took 54 months to deal with, four years roughly.
The first interlocutory application was a challenge by the NDPP and Zuma to the locus standi (standing) of the DA to bring the application to set aside Mpshe’s decision.
When the matter returned to the High Court after this was dealt with, Zuma and the NDPP did not want to include the review record for the DA to have access to the parts of the spy tapes that Mpshe based his decision on.
This led to another interlocutory application, this time by the DA, to compel the inclusion of the spy tapes records.
Finally, in April 2016, the court heard the DA’s application for Mpshe’s decision to be set aside.
“Whatever the motive of the litigation was, the effect was to delay the prosecution,” Trengove tells the court.
Sport24.co.za | Sharks v Lions: Point of no-return for one?
Rob Houwing, Sport24 chief writer
Cape Town – The notable absence of “easy beats” from the remaining rosters of either team means that one of the Sharks or Lions could be virtually bidding farewell to any playoffs chances in Super Rugby 2019 when they clash at Kings Park on Saturday (17:15).
For the losing outfit – assuming we don’t see the recently in-vogue outcome of a draw – the road will suddenly look immensely more challenging to qualify for the finals series.
That is because the long-standing, competition-wide mid-table fog is finally beginning to clear, and the process should only gather momentum this weekend.
After it, the vast majority of teams will have only three games left, and in isolated cases just two.
So the defeated side in the Durban derby (the Lions lie sixth overall, the Sharks breathing right down their necks in seventh, followed by a raft of other desperate teams) runs the risk of effectively slipping one win or more behind other candidates – from across the conferences – vying to make the cut, and ominously little time left to catch up surrendered ground.
It’s a relative toss-up, after final whistle in the all-SA encounter, to decide which of the pair has the less enviable run-in: the Sharks must still negotiate one home games against the Hurricanes, and away meetings with the Jaguares before rounding off against old coastal adversaries the Stormers at Newlands.
Meanwhile, Swys de Bruin’s charges would still sport two home dates – so a bit of an advantage? – against the Stormers and Hurricanes, but finishing at Loftus against the currently conference-leading Bulls.
It probably makes it a touch more essential that the Sharks come out victorious on Saturday, bearing in mind the looming pitfall of another long-haul passage for them to Buenos Aires, although defeat will certainly be a notably “eina” experience for either.
There is no shortage of reasons for Saturday’s derby holding special appeal – hopefully a factor that will draw something resembling a proper crowd to the ageing stadium.
Perhaps the most obvious one is the Lions’ obvious thirst for revenge after they were truly destroyed (42-5) on home turf by the Sharks on a damp Friday night in Johannesburg several weeks ago.
They will probably gee themselves up for the Durban return – this time anticipated to be in fine, benign weather – by believing that that champagne, “total rugby” showing from their opponents was a bit of a flash in the pan as the Sharks’ habit has more customarily been to play an uncompromising, conservative, coal-face brand of the game.
But the formula has also earned them a handful of other decent results this season, including the memorable away draw with the Crusaders (only deprived of victory right at the death) and also triumph over the Waratahs in Sydney with a bit to spare.
We should see another intriguing clash of styles in this one: the Lions are almost certainly still the closest in this country to emulating a high-octane, “New Zealand” style of play and it has generally stood them in good stead for several years, considering their commendable appearance in three successive finals.
That said, they also seem to be well less of a title-hunting force this year, the philosophy bringing with it an undesirable error-rate and naivety at times among a thinner, more rookie-laden 2019 squad: it is reflected in the Lions’ frankly unimpressive try ratio thus far: 41 for, and as many as 46 against despite their deceptively decent, present spot on the overall ladder.
Only the Chiefs and Sunwolves, the two worst-faring sides in the competition at this juncture, have leaked more tries than the Highvelders, so the Sharks may well fancy having another field day against these foes in that department: certainly a bonus-point win would do them the power of good, as well as largely put to rest their weird home bogey this year.
Robert du Preez’s outfit, however, don’t usually cross the “wash” prolifically: their 32 tries is better only, tournament wide, than compatriots the Stormers (a nadir of 23) and Bulls (28).
But they are extremely good at repelling the enemy from their own try-line, by stark contrast to the Lions … just 29 conceded at an average of 2.41 per game, leaving them second only to the defending champion Cantabrians for defensive adhesiveness.
Different strokes from the two quite different “folks” in Saturday’s encounter?
I wouldn’t anticipate any dramatic formulaic changes, in either case …

Health24.com | Sugary drinks and fruit juice may increase risk of early death
Most folks know that sugary drinks aren’t healthy, but a new study finds fruit juices are not much better.
In fact, consuming them regularly may help shorten your life, researchers say.
Fruit juices included
“Older adults who drink more sugary beverages, which include fruit juice as well as sodas and other sugar-sweetened beverages, may be at risk of dying earlier,” said study author Jean Welsh. She is an associate professor at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.
“Efforts to decrease consumption of sodas and other sugar-sweetened beverages should also include fruit juices, and these efforts need to include adults as well as children,” Welsh said.
For the study, Welsh and her colleagues collected data on 13 440 men and women, average age 64, who were part of a large stroke study from 2003 to 2007. Among these participants, 71% were obese or overweight.
The participants were asked how many sugar-sweetened drinks they consumed. Over an average of six years, 1 168 of the participants died.
Adverse health effects
The researchers found that those who drank the most sugar-sweetened beverages – including 100% fruit juice – had higher odds of dying during the study, compared with those who drank the least of these.
Moreover, each additional 12-ounce drink increased the risk even more.
The report was published online in JAMA Network Open.
In the United States, about half of the population consumes at least one sugar-sweetened drink per day, said Marta Guasch-Ferre, a research scientist in the department of nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, in Boston.
“Most people are aware that sodas and other sugar-sweetened beverages – including soft drinks, fruit punch and energy drinks – are associated with weight gain and adverse health effects. But fruit juices are still widely perceived by many as a healthier option,” Guasch-Ferre said.
Evidence has shown that sugar-sweetened drinks are tied to an increased risk for diabetes, heart disease and obesity, she added. The evidence is less clear for fruit juice.
Water the preferred beverage
Whole juice contains some nutrients, and that may be beneficial for health, but they also contain relatively high amounts of sugar from natural sources, Guasch-Ferre explained.
Although fruit juices have been associated with an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease, whole fruits have not, she said.
Current recommendations suggest drinking no more than four to six ounces of juice per day, Guasch-Ferre said.
“Although fruit juices are not as harmful as sugar-sweetened beverages, consumption should be moderated in both children and adults, especially for individuals who attempt to control their body weight,” said Guasch-Ferre, who co-authored an accompanying journal editorial.
Fruit-based smoothies are commonly seen as healthier options. However, their ingredients can vary substantially and there is limited research on their health effects, she said. In addition, smoothies are usually very high in calories and so aren’t recommended as daily beverages. Vegetable juice is a lower-calorie alternative to fruit juice, but may contain a lot of salt.
“The current evidence suggests that water should be the preferred beverage, and the intake of other beverages such as tea or coffee, without sugar and creamers, should be chosen in place of sugar-sweetened drinks,” Guasch-Ferre advised.
