News24.com | ‘Can girls be presidents?’ Little Daisy writes to President Cyril Ramaphosa, he responds asks for meeting

You Need Posted on by

A young girl named Daisy from Buffalo City in the Eastern Cape wrote a colourful letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa asking if “little girls can become presidents”.

“Girls can be anything they want in the world today,” Ramaphosa said in a response written on Wednesday.

“They can be teachers, or scientists or astronauts – and to answer your question, yes they can be presidents too,” he said.

The young inquisitive mind of Daisy did not stop there – she probed the president further.

Daisy wanted to know if Ramaphosa was friends with the first democratically elected president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela.

“Yes, he was a friend, a father and a teacher to me and to many other people. Do you know how much he loved children?

“I am sure he would have loved to have met a young lady as gracious as you,” Ramaphosa wrote.

President hoping for a meeting

Daisy assured the president that she was fond of his work as a president and wondered how difficult it was to rule the world.

“It means a lot to me that you like my work as president because as I am sure you can imagine, it is not an easy job.

“I often have to make really difficult decisions and sometimes people are pleased with the decisions that I make but other people are at times not so happy,” he explained.

Ramaphosa said he felt honoured to have received the letter and hoped to meet the young lady when he visits the Eastern Cape.

The president is expected in East London this week to introduce the Good Green Deeds programme that is aimed at caring for the planet and its people.

“I would be honoured if, after school on the day, you would be able to meet me when I am in your home town.

“I am trying my best to make South Africa a better place for our children and our children’s children – and I am so pleased I can count on you to help me,” he concluded.

News24.com | Hawks keeping an eye on Zondo commission revelations

You Need Posted on by

The Hawks will use whatever relevant information the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture reveals while treading cautiously so as to not disrupt the process, Hawks head Godfrey Lebeya told the Portfolio Committee on Police on Wednesday.

He said the Hawks had a colonel with a watching brief present at the commission.

“Wherever there is information that can assist an investigation, we’ll be dealing with that,” Lebeya said.

He said the directorate would always engage with National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi first.

“We don’t want to disturb what is happening.

“Where a crime has been committed, there will always be a reaction. But we are aware that there are processes underway that you don’t want to disturb.”

Gupta-linked cases investigated

Last week, in answer to a parliamentary question, President Cyril Ramaphosa said he would wait for the report from the commission before taking action against any Cabinet ministers.

However, he added: “Nothing prevents the relevant authorities within the criminal justice system from investigating allegations of impropriety by ministers or any other persons. In any such instances, legal processes must be allowed to be concluded with due regard for the rule of law.”

The Hawks are investigating several cases related to alleged Gupta-led state capture.

They are also investigating facilities management company Bosasa, now known as African Global Operations. In fact, the docket was opened in 2010. Lebeya said the Hawks arrested six suspects aged between 50 and 78 on February 6 on allegations of corruption, money laundering and fraud. 

“The sweeping high-profile arrests follow a marathon investigation wherein almost R1.6bn is said to have been misappropriated in the tender processes for the procurement of various services by the Department of Correctional Services.

“It is alleged that the officials received and accepted gifts in the form of cash, they also allegedly received financial assistance in acquiring properties, acquiring motor vehicles from dealers, other assets and payments to travel agents for overseas travel.

Need for specialised units highlighted

The six suspects will appear in court again on March 27.

“One suspect has not yet been arrested as he is out of the country. Extradition process with the United States of America will be initiated, soon. We expect that he will be arrested to come and join the others,” Lebeya said.

The Hawks took 610 statements for the case. 

According to a statement by committee chairperson Francois Beukman, the committee welcomed the progress made by the Hawks in fighting priority crimes but emphasised the importance of fighting corruption. 

“The Zondo commission has proven invaluable in providing information that the Hawks can use in the investigation and prosecution of crimes of corruption,” said Beukman. 

To achieve this, the committee called for skills enhancement within the commercial crimes section to strengthen the ability of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) to investigate and deliver prosecutable cases.     

The committee also called for the establishment and finalisation of the structure of a fully-fledged national bureau for illegal firearms control and of the South African enforcement bureau, which are essential in fighting the proliferation of illegal firearms and narcotics.

The committee remains of the view that specialised units are central to the fight against crime. The committee has also highlighted that the Hawks need a separate budget to empower them to do their work efficiently. 

Health24.com | Advice on salt, hidden in an array of foods, gets specific

You Need Posted on by

It can be hidden in bread, pizza, soup and other packaged foods and restaurant meals. Now, advice to watch out for salt is coming with a more specific reason.

A report released by the National Academies of Science ties the recommended limit on sodium to a reduced risk of chronic disease. The report, which is expected to serve as a guide for policymakers, says the updated guidance is meant to convey that cutting back on salt can reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, even if people are still above the recommended limit of 2 300mg a day for most adults.

Sponsored by federal agencies

Previously, the recommended limit was based on an “upper intake level”, a threshold experts use to indicate a variety of potential bad effects. Now, the report says the upper intake level will indicate the threshold for potential toxicity, or when a nutrient causes an immediate harm. It says there’s not enough evidence to set such a threshold for sodium.

It’s the first dietary intake recommendation tied to a reduced risk of chronic disease, according to the report, but other nutrients may be similarly re-evaluated. Otherwise, the report mostly reinforces existing recommendations, with some tweaks. For example, it said there’s no longer enough evidence that people who are 51 and older need less salt than other adults.

Advice on potassium, which is found in foods including bananas and potatoes, was also adjusted to generally lower the amounts considered adequate for healthy individuals.

The report was sponsored by federal agencies including the US Department of Health, which oversees the government’s dietary guidelines.
