Edward West edward.west@inl.co.za Dividend retention policies among SA’s real estate investment trusts (Reits)may be undermining their equity investment case, GCR Ratings said in a credit research report on Friday. This was despite the fact that GCR believed retaining dividends was supportive of their credit profile, the credit rating agency said in a research note on Friday. By law Reits have to pay 75 percent of the distributable income as dividends, subject to directors ensuring that the Reit passes a solvency and liquidity test. Many Reits have chosen to retain dividends to bolster their balance sheets during the uncertainties of the Covid-19 pandemic and after many tenants were forced to close their doors through the lockdowns last year. SA Reits provided more than R3 billion of relief to tenants.…

Gerry Cupido geraldine.cupido@inl.co.za EVERY time I walk into a hotel room, I’m amazed by how much they are able to fit in there. No matter how small a hotel room is, they fit in a little desk, a dresser, a closet, kitchen nook and of course a toilet and bathroom. Then I get home and it feels like I don’t have enough space even though I can fit two small hotel rooms in my lounge. How crazy is that. If you use a space in your home creatively you can get so much more out of it. Here are a few ideas on how to do so. Use the dead space under your staircase. People often close that space and turn it into a storage area. Yes of course…

Chevon Booysen chevon.booysen@inl.co.za CHEF and food truck owner, Muammer Kasu said he has been overwhelmed by support received from local small businesses after he was served with a legal letter from RocoMamas to change the name of one of his burgers. Local eatery business owners have rallied behind Kasu - owner of Rack ’n Grill - after the food giant, owned by the Spur Group, ordered him to change the name of his “Smash Burger” as they are the registered proprietor of the “Smash Burger” brand. A number of burger joints in Cape Town have now put their own spin on a “Smash Burger” as they said they were taking a stand against “corporate bullying tactics”. “We would never have imagined or envisaged such support from the local industry. It…

Stuart Hess stuart.hess@inl.co.za SOUTH Africa risks being without a national cricket side should Minister Nathi Mthethwa invoke the powers available to him in terms of the National Sports and Recreation Act. Mthethwa officially reached the end of his tether with Cricket South Africa (CSA), and specifically the organisation’s Members Council, following a special general meeting on Saturday in which the council failed to implement the necessary changes to ensure administrative reform at the beleaguered organisation. On Sunday, Mthethwa said he would take “the necessary steps required to exercise his rights in terms of the law”. The powers available to the minister in terms of section 13(5) of the act give Mthethwa the powers to remove recognition of the federation as the authority of the sport and to stop providing funding…

Changes to the natural environment put pressure on social, economic, political systems Gugu Nonjinge AS THE world recognised World Water Day on March 22, we have to acknowledge that the current climate crisis is also a water crisis. Even though the impacts of climate change on the water cycle will vary regionally, the water crisis needs to be seen as an entry point for conflict. Africa is responsible for a mere 4% of global carbon dioxide emissions, yet it is disproportionately vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. According to the US Agency for International Development (USAID), more than half of the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are among those most affected by the burden of climate exposure. As a result, the continent is grappling with multiple climate-related security risks such…

In welcoming the new employment regulations to deal with teacher misconduct recently gazetted under the Employment of Educators Act by the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, the IFP calls on the KZN MEC for Education, Kwazi Mshengu to ensure that these new guidelines are adhered to in KwaZulu-Natal. We believe this is a step in the right direction because in 2020 the SA Council of Educators (SACE) ranked KwaZulu-Natal as the province with the highest number of sexual misconduct cases by teachers, followed by Gauteng. The IFP has on numerous occasions emphasised that such offenders have no place in the education profession. They must be named, shamed and banned for the rest of their lives from the teaching profession. The Gazette has made it clear that any person found…

Myanmar’s shadow government yesterday urged Southeast Asian leaders to give it a seat at the table during crisis talks next week, and not to recognise the military regime that seized power in a February coup. Junta leader Min Aung Hlaing is expected to join a special Asean summit on Myanmar on Saturday in Jakarta – his first official overseas trip since the putsch that ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The army has moved to quell mass protests against its rule, killing at least 730 people according to a local monitoring group. Min Aung Hlaing’s invitation to the meeting of the 10-country Association of Southeast Asian Nations has drawn scorn from activists who have urged foreign leaders not to formally recognise the junta. Moe Zaw Oo, deputy minister of…

Washington: Former president George W Bush has stepped into the US debate on immigration, saying migrants are “a force for good” and arguing for a gradual process to allow undocumented immigrants to earn legal status. Bush, a past governor of Texas, made his points in an op-ed article in the Washington Post previewing his new book Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants. The book features portraits of immigrants painted by Bush himself. He says he knows his paintings “may not set the art world stirring”, but he hoped “to humanise the debate on immigration and reform”. | AFP…

AMMAN: Syria will hold its presidential election on May 26, the country’s parliament said yesterday, a vote which is expected to return President Bashar al Assad to office for a third term. Assad’s family and his Baath party have ruled Syria for more than five decades holding a strong grip on power with the help of the powerful security forces and army, where his Alawite minority dominate and dissent against his rule is not tolerated. Opposition and Western leaders have demanded that Assad, whom they accuse of crimes against humanity, should step down. | Reuters…

JERUSALEM: The Gaza Strip recorded its highest daily toll of coronavirus deaths, authorities said yesterday, as the Israeli-blockaded territory struggles with a dearth of vaccines. On Sunday, the health ministry said “23 deaths in the past 24 hours”, taking its toll to 761 deaths since the start of the pandemic. Authorities have so far only received 80 000 vaccine doses for a population of some 2 million people. Meanwhile, Israelis went about barefaced yesterday after the order to wear masks outdoors was rescinded. With about 81% of residents over 16 having received both vaccine doses, contagions and hospitalisations are down sharply. | AFP | Reuters…

Lutho Pasiya lutho.pasiya@inl.co.za I HAVE had a mug of warm lemon water before bed for a few months now, but usually because it sounded good and I wanted something warm besides coffee. When I saw several pictures and posts floating around the internet promoting the benefits of drinking lemon water before you sleep, I decided to investigate this habit I had already been doing. Health experts reveal that lemons are full of health benefits. While we often consume lemons because of their vitamin C content, they also contain other nutrients and minerals such as pectin, vitamin E, vitamin B. They reveal that a glass of lemon water will boost your immune system and promote your well-being by eliminating free radicals that may otherwise promote illness and disease, and that…

Okuhle Hlati okhule.hlati@inl.co.za WHILE the University of Cape Town (UCT) has started the process to fill the vacant post of deputy vice-chancellor (DVC) for transformation, the institution's Black Academic Caucus (BAC) has called for a “radical shift” in the way senior management positions are filled. This after UCT came under scrutiny in recent weeks following the controversial acting appointment of retired 72-year-old Emeritus Professor Martin Hall to replace Professor Loretta Feris as DVC for transformation. This led to the shock resignation of convocation president Eddy Maloka. UCT council chairperson Babalwa Ngonyama announced on Friday that the appointment process had started and emphasised that this was being put out in the public domain due to the interests of “all parties concerned”. “In making a substantive appointment, which we anticipate will be…

Thabo Makwakwa and Bongani Hans ABSA and FNB have been accused of perpetuating apartheid-era tactics in South Africa’s embattled financial services sector. Industry experts and political parties have raised these concerns after accounts belonging to black-owned businesses continue to be closed “with impunity”. Black-owned businesses and scores of ordinary South Africans, according to various analysts, have found themselves at the receiving end as banks in the country perpetuate what they described as “weaponised apartheid era tactics” through financial exclusion of black people in the banking sector. In an exclusive interview over the weekend, well-known private financial consultant and investigator Emerald Van Zyl said the apartheid tactics were currently in full swing and black people as well as their businesses were viewed as a “risk”. He claimed they were either overcharged…

Staff writer A HOST blood test can differentiate between people living with HIV who had active TB from those without TB and predict which individuals could develop TB within 15 months. Researchers from the South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (SATVI) at UCT, the Aurum Institute, the Centre for the Aids Programme of Research in South Africa, at Stellenbosch University, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre, recently published the results of their study of a blood-based RNA biomarker – which tested diagnostic and prognostic performance for TB in people living with HIV – in The Lancet Global Health journal last week. The study was conducted between 2017 and 2019 with a total of 861 adults living with HIV from communities in…

Athandile Siyo athandile.siyo@inl.co.za ONE of the two men killed in a shooting in Kuils River was the target of a possible gang-related attack, say police. Three others, one of them dead, were caught in the crossfire. Police responded to a shooting in Van Riebeeck Road, Kuils River, at around 1.30pm on Saturday. Police spokesperson Colonel Andrè Traut said: “Two men, aged 23 and 41, were shot and killed, while two others, aged 22 and 30, were wounded. It is suspected that one of the fatal victims was the target of a possible gang-related attack and the other three were caught in the crossfire. Two suspects fled the scene and are yet to be arrested.” Community activist Latifa Jacobs said it was unfortunate when bystanders were caught in alleged gang-related crossfire.…

Baldwin Ndaba baldwin.ndaba@inl.co.za Judge Mnonoa Teffo, of the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, is set to formalise a date for a full inquest into the deaths of 144 mental patients today, following their gruesome ordeal in 2016. Last month, Judge Teffo, who was appointed to preside over the inquest, invited the families of all the victims to the first sitting today in Pretoria. The judge is expected to announce the date for the full inquiry, after consultation with the families and their legal representatives. An evidence leader has already been appointed to lead crucial evidence about the horror disappearance of the victims, including being placed in mortuaries without their families’ knowledge. The patients were moved to NGOs, which did not have qualifications and doctors to look after them, after…

Mushtak Parker NEXT time you watch your favourite English Premier League (EPL) team, the iconic global football league, have you considered how ethical the club you are supporting is in an era of supposedly heightened awareness of sustainability and social responsibility. Ethical in that it generally complies with UN Sustainable Development Goals, ESG principles, Anti-racism, Diversity and Gender Balance guidelines. A scourge of modern sports, especially the Beautiful Game that is supposedly football, is its capture by the pandemic of sports betting. Sports betting is gambling and can lead to addiction. It has long replaced tobacco and alcohol advertising adorning billboards and logos of football, cricket, darts, golf, rugby and Formula One racing. Remember Marlboro Man – macho to the core who eventually succumbed to nicotine-induced lung cancer. The…

“Allow a doctor to see my dad.” The heartbreaking plea from Alexei Navalny’s daughter came amid a wave of dismay and horror across the globe over Russian authorities’ refusal to let President Vladimir Putin’s leading critic see his doctor, as his condition has reportedly sharply worsened. Darya Navalnaya’s plea on Twitter for medical care for her father comes as he faces his 19th day on a hunger strike in prison over Russian authorities’ refusal to let him see his doctor. The 20-year-old is currently in California studying at Stanford University. Russia’s refusal to allow Putin’s main political rival access to his doctor comes after his press secretary Kira Yarmysh tweeted that he was “dying”, and several doctors said he could go into cardiac arrest at any time. Yarmysh said he…

More government hospital beds will be freed for Covid-19 patients, India’s Health Ministry said yesterday, as the nation of 1.3 billion people grappled with a worsening virus crisis and states appealed for additional supplies of oxygen and treatment drugs. The country recorded a record high of 261 500 new cases yesterday, with one in six tested people returning positive results, the ministry said. India is the world’s second-most infected nation with almost 14.8 million cases. Hospitals reserved for employees of ministries or public sector companies should convert some of their wards into Covid-19 facilities, the government said. “This will go a long way to address the shortage of beds reported from some states,” the ministry added. The Railway Ministry said special trains would transport oxygen tankers to needy states. In…

LONDON: Queen Elizabeth will not “retreat from public view” like Queen Victoria did during her reign. The 94-year-old monarch is determined to continue with her duties after the death of Prince Philip, according to one royal expert. Sally Bedell Smith said: “We’ve become accustomed, since 2017, to seeing her on her own or with other children and grandchildren. “And so, without him at her side, it’s not that unusual. But that doesn’t take anything away from the fact that this is going to be a big blow for her. She’s been with him for 73 years, and ... as she said, he’s been her ‘strength and her stay’ for 73 years.” Bedell Smith said that unlike Queen Victoria, who retreated from public view after the death of her husband,…

Qamishli: Kurdish authorities in north-east Syria yesterday handed over 34 orphaned children, whose parents were suspected of belonging to the Islamic State group, to a Russian delegation to be repatriated. Moscow has now repatriated at least 169 such children, Fener al-Kait of the Syrian Kurds’ foreign affairs department said. He said other departures to the Russian Federation of orphaned children would follow from north-east Syria. Moscow has also been repatriating children abandoned in Iraq since the collapse of the jihadists’ “caliphate” straddling both Arab states. Syria’s Kurds have urged the international community to repatriate foreign nationals held in camps in north-east Syria.| AFP…

Dineo Faku dineo.faku@inl.co.za ARCELORMITTAL South Africa (Amsa) said in its 2020 integrated annual report that it was committed to addressing the country’s steel shortages. Chief executive Kobus Verster said on Friday the group had experienced considerable delays with starting the N5 blast furnace in Newcastle. Verster said the N5 setbacks were frustrating, particularly because of the group’s intense focus on addressing customers’ steel shortages that had been building up since before Covid-19. “In the new year we have bud-geted and planned to fix the problems caused by the unusual post-pandemic start-up of N5 and to improve its reliability. Conversely, production of flat steel at Vanderbijlpark was very successfully resumed, from June blast furnace D and December (blast furnace) C,” said Verster. Amsa, South Africa’s biggest steel producer, has been under…

Two WEEKS ago I referred to the commodity super cycle that is under way. The stock prices of most resources companies have followed commodity prices on the way up. The big question I asked myself is where I can find value in the resources sector. My starting point was to look for stocks such as junior or emerging mining companies that are often ignored or not followed by analysts. I used the JSE-listed junior mining companies in South Africa to calculate a Junior Mining Company Index for South Africa. The index is based on market capitalisation and the weightings are recalculated at the end of each quarter. Coal-related mining companies were excluded, though. The final list of companies used to calculate the index were therefore Bauba Resources, Eastern Plats, Jubilee…

Viwe Ndongeni-Ntlebi viwe.ndongeni@inl.co.za After intense training, I tend to book myself for full-body massage to help my body recover. As a routine, I booked myself a session after hiking 21km in the Drakensberg as part of my training for Mount Kilimanjaro. There are several health benefits to receiving regular massages as part of a health or fitness routine. Athletes and coaches swear by sports massages. Instead of my usual place, I tried a Komani Health Shop and was given a massage by Dr Lydia Jaceni, a naturopath. After our session, she introduced me to a product called ashwagandha, which came in the form of drops, for the tension in my shoulders. The plant is a small shrub with yellow flowers that’s native to India and North Africa. Extracts or…

Siphokazi Vuso siphokazi.vuso@inl.co.za AN ELDERLY Manenberg woman was recently served with a written warning for animal cruelty and neglect after a sick, chained dog was confiscated from her care. In a statement, the Animal Welfare Society (AWS) South Africa said it had received a call from the Animal Welfare Community Champion in Tambo Village, Manenberg, about a sick dog who was cruelly secured by a short chain. The dog, named Kuhle, was attached to a dangerous metal stake in the ground, and had lost almost all of her fur and appeared to have a severe skin infection. “Our subsequent investigation, led by trainee inspector Sivuyile Kilwa, revealed that she belonged to an elderly lady who claimed that she did not know who to approach for help. She did not argue…

Athandile Siyo athandile.siyo@inl.co.za THE DA has come under fire for its quick suspension of Transport MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela, while other members are under close scrutiny over their own qualifications. This comes after Good Party secretary Brett Herron raised the alarm about the qualifications of chief whip Natasha Mazzone, MEC for human settlements Tertuis Simmers and Saldanha Bay Mayor Marius Koen. Herron said that according to unverified information from a source, Mazzone had allegedly edited her Wikipedia page to remove the word “advocate” from the qualifications in her biography, while Simmers allegedly lied in his LinkedIn profile about a degree in cost management and Koen regarding a degree from Stellenbosch University (SU) . On social media, Madikizela called for fair treatment. “We must be frank here … this so-called ‘expose’ has…

Odwa Mkentane odwa.mkentane@inl.co.za UCT has suspended all academic activities today and tomorrow after some of the institution’s historic buildings were gutted yesterday. Firefighters continued battling the raging fire that ripped through the Rhodes Memorial Restaurant and vegetation on the slopes of the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). Images showed student residence Fuller House, the library and chemistry buildings billowing smoke and flames. Two firefighters were injured while scores of students were evacuated. Surrounding roads were closed with between 150 and 200 firefighters on the fireline. The blaze is believed to have been sparked from a vacated vagrant fire, according to initial investigations by SA National Parks (SANParks). “No classes, tutorials, laboratory work or tests will take place on Monday or Tuesday (tomorrow). We will assess the situation and provide further…

OWN Correspondent FOR the first time in about 15 years, third-year nursing students at Stellenbosch University (SU) started their clinical practice placement at various hospitals and clinics in the Cape Town area. Dr Janet Bell, senior lecturer in the Department of Nursing and Midwifery, described the students’ entry into the clinical sites as a big day in their programme’s history. In 2019, a group of 41 students were the first to enrol for the new undergraduate nursing programme offered by the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS). It is this group, who are in their third year now, that have just started with clinical placement. The FMHS previously offered an undergraduate nursing degree that was moved to the University of the Western Cape when the higher education landscape was…

Chevon Booysen chevon.booysen@inl.co.za THE RAPE case against a popular local jazz musician will be heard at the Blue Downs Regional Court after the matter was transferred from the magistrate’s court. The artist, who may not be named in the media due to a court order, is still out on R1 000 bail and will appear in the regional court on July 2. The Kuils River man faces charges of rape, sexual assault and sexual grooming after a victim broke his silence last year. The musician’s request to have his bail conditions relaxed last month was granted after the court heard his Soneike house was on the market. Meanwhile, alleged child rapist and murderer Steven Fortune, who pleaded guilty to the murder of 12-year-old Michaela Williams, will have his case finalised…

Baldwin Ndaba baldwin.ndaba@inl.co.za THE Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture is set to resume this morning despite a break-in resulting in devices containing crucial information being stolen at the weekend. Yesterday, Gauteng police spokesperson Colonel Noxolo Kweza confirmed that a business robbery is being investigated but said details would be released at a later stage after police had completed their investigations. Kweza was reacting to reports that unidentified people broke into the offices of the Zondo Commission on Saturday night and removed various items, including laptops containing vital information. Zondo Commission spokesperson Mbuyiselo Stemela confirmed yesterday that the commission’s offices had been broken into but could not supply details. “The matter is still under police investigation. We will issue a statement after obtaining details of the burglary…

THE shooting to death of Lindani Myeni, a former KZN man, in Hawaii has sent shock waves through the country. As the Black Lives Matter movement still seeks justice for George Floyd and the Take a Knee initiative continues to highlight racism and police brutality, the murder of unarmed civilians by police is still taking place. Myeni was unarmed when he was killed by three police officers and, according to his widow, Lindsay, he was on his way home when he was killed. Black Americans and South Africans shared similar experiences, at the hands of police, during the battle for civil rights and the fight to end apartheid. This was a complex and complicated relationship that changed over time, but the trust relationship was never fully restored. Ten years ago,…

NASA hopes to score a 21st-century Wright Brothers moment today as it attempts to send a miniature helicopter buzzing over the surface of Mars in what would be the first powered, controlled flight of an aircraft on another planet. Landmark achievements in science and technology can seem humble by conventional measurements. The Wright Brothers’ first controlled flight in the world of a motor-driven airplane, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903 covered just 120 feet (37 meters) in 12 seconds. A modest debut is likewise in store for NASA’s twin-rotor, solar-powered helicopter, Ingenuity. If all goes to plan, the 1.8kg whirligig will slowly ascend straight up to an altitude of 3m above the Martian surface, hover in place for 30 seconds, then rotate before descending to a gentle landing on…

An 8-year-old girl was rescued in Switzerland on Sunday, five days after being kidnapped from her grandmother’s French home with the alleged involvement of her mother. Investigators found the girl, Mia, and her mother, Lola Montemaggi, in a squat inside an abandoned factory in the Swiss municipality of Sainte-Croix, French prosecutors said. The 28-year-old mother was arrested along with five others accused of helping her. Three of the men posed as child welfare officials to convince Mia’s maternal grandmother to hand her over at their home in the village of Poulieres near France’s border with Switzerland on Tuesday. The kidnappers had walkie-talkies, camping gear, fake licence plates, and a budget of 3 000 euros to cover expenses. Five people linked to the kidnapping were arrested in France last week. Mia…

Dhaka: Hundreds of hardline Islamists have been arrested by Bangladesh police over the past week, officials said yesterday, after deadly protests against the visit of India’s Hindu-nationalist leader. At least 13 protesters died during days-long demonstrations last month over Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The protests were mostly led by hardline Islamist group Hefazat-e-Islam, accusing Modi of stoking violence against Muslims in India. Police said Mamunul Haque, 47, the firebrand joint secretary of Hefazat, was detained – the seventh senior leader from Hefazat to be arrested. Thy face charges over anti-Modi protests in 2013 that left nearly 50 people dead.. | AFP…

Tehran: A 5.9-magnitude earthquake yesterday hit Iran’s south-western Bushehr province, which houses a nuclear power plant, injuring five people but causing no major damage, state media said. The 10km deep quake hit 27km northwest of the port city of Genaveh and was felt in nearby provinces, Iran’s seismological agency said. State news agency IRNA reported that the quake and several aftershocks caused power blackouts and cut phone lines nearby but caused “no damage” at the Bushehr nuclear complex about 10km away. Iran sits astride the boundaries of several major tectonic plates and has frequent seismic activity. | AFP…

Motorsport Reporter A brilliant start from Brad Binder, in the third race of the MotoGP season, propelled the Red Bull KTM rider to a top five finish at the Portuguese GP yesterday. Binder, starting from 15th on the grid, jumped off the line with impressive aggression, carving his way to seventh in the field. He then pushed up into sixth for a couple of laps before Francesco Bagnaia of Italy seized the position from him to eventually finish second. With seven laps to go, Alex Rins was forced into an error, and crashed out of the race while chasing down Fabio Quartararo - the eventual winner - and a lap later Johann Zarco endured a similar fate, lifting Binder to fifth. With the race coming to a close, Binder…

Manchester City skipper Fernandinho said Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat by Chelsea was difficult to take but he backed the team to overcome the disappointment and focus on their upcoming challenges. Eight-time FA Cup winners Chelsea advanced to another final thanks to a second-half goal by Hakim Ziyech. The result ended City's dream of an unprecedented quadruple of titles, but Fernandinho said they were beaten by the better side. "It's a big disappointment to lose an FA Cup semi-final - it's hard to take. It was an important match for us but they were a bit better than us ... congratulations to them," Fernandinho said after the game. City, who are 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League, take on Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup…

Ashfak Mohamed HE might be the 400m Olympic champion and world record-holder, but that doesn’t mean nerves can’t get the better of Wayde van Niekerk. In fact, the 28-year-old says that neutralising the jitters before a race is one of the main battles he is fighting at the moment as he plots his path to Olympic glory once more in Tokyo. Van Niekerk won his third 200m national title at the Tuks Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday, bringing the heat in the second part of the race to finish in 20.38 seconds on a cool night in the South African capital. He wasn’t able to gauge his form against the SA 200m record-holder, Clarence Munyai, who had just crept into the final after finishing third with 21.03 in Friday’s semi-final.…
