Very Peri is colour of 2022

Gerry Cupido geraldine.cupido@inl.co.za EVERY year there’s that one colour that dominates and stands out above the rest. The “it” colour. From fashion to interior design, Pantone’s selected colour of the year sets the colour trend for that year. For 23 years, Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishings, and industrial design, as well as product packaging and graphic design. The colour for 2022 is Pantone 17-3938 Very Peri. According to Pantone, Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through. Encompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time possessing a violet-red undertone, Pantone 17-3938 Very Peri displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic…

Sunscreen vs sunblock: what’s best?

Gerry Cupido geraldine.cupido@inl.co.za ONE of the most important skincare rules is to never leave home without sunscreen. Come rain or shine, it’s essential. Whether you’re into the 10-step Korean skincare routine or keeping it simple with a basic cleanse, tone and moisture, you cannot skip the sunscreen application step. People refer to sun protection lotions or oils as sunscreen or sunblock, but is there a difference? According to Lamelle Research Laboratories, it turns out, there is. So what is the difference between sunscreen and sunblock? Sunscreens (also called chemical sunscreens or organic sunscreens) are ingredients that need to penetrate your skin. This way, they can surround the cells in the upper layers of your skin to protect your skin from UVA and UVB frequencies. These sunscreens are designed to…

Noah sues over ‘serious personal injury’

Gerry Cupido geraldine.cupido@inl.co.za South African comedian and television host Trevor Noah has filed a lawsuit against an orthopaedic surgeon Dr Riley Williams III, and the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City over alleged botched surgery. The lawsuit which was filed by Justin Blitz of Schulman Blitz LLP states that The Daily Show host suffered from “serious personal injury” which is “permanent, severe and grievous”, and that the accused failed “to prescribe proper medications” as well as failing to “discontinue certain prescription medications”. The doctor is also accused of failing “to use proper tests and examinations in order to diagnose the conditions from which Noah” was suffering”. The injuries allegedly left Noah “rendered sick, sore lame and disabled”. It also alleged that the accused failed “to inform the plaintiff…

Cassper Nyovest’s boxing match with Slik Talk set for December 22

Shingai Darangwa shingai.darangwa@inl.co.za After weeks of back and forths, the much talked about boxing match between rapper Cassper Nyovest and YouTuber Slik Talk is finally official. After having claimed the fight was off a few weeks ago, Cassper hinted it might be back on earlier this month when he tweeted that Slik Talk had sent a signed contract. “If he keeps his word then this December, we put on a show. Great entertainment and I get to give him a lesson on a subject we call ‘Go Phela Le Batho’. If he don’t chicken out.” Well, it seems like he hasn’t chickened out and the fight will go ahead after Cassper shared a poster of the fight on his Twitter and Instagram profiles. “So it’s set in stone. Not the…

Fugitive Portuguese banker set to apply for bail

Zainul Dawood zainul.dawood@inl.co.za THE bail hearing of a Portuguese fugitive and convicted fraudster, who was arrested in uMhlanga, is expected to continue in the Verulam Magistrate’s Court today. Joao Manuel De Oliveria Rendeiro, 69, was arrested at a guest house in uMhlanga Rocks by the SAPS on Saturday. According to the warrant of arrest and extradition order issued by the Lisbon Judicial Court in Portugal, included in the charge sheet, Rendeiro is wanted to stand trial on charges of tax fraud, money laundering and aggravated embezzlement under Portuguese criminal law. Yesterday, State advocate Deneshree Naicker said the matter was on the roll for a formal bail application. However, during the course of Monday evening, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) received a second request for Rendeiro’s provincial arrest related to…

Nokuthula Mabuza nokuthula.mabuza@inl.co.za Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane was dragged on Twitter after Derek Hanekom shared a picture of Mkhwebane holding former President Jacob Zuma’s book. 1. @John_Hlatse It has now become even more clearer why she was pursuing Cyril and Jamnadas so relentlessly despite the many flames they shown her. The woman is deeply and thoroughly compromised. 4. @vuyokazbooy You are unnecessary going overboard about a mediocre Public Protector. Some of her mistakes are frankly embarrassing considering that she is an advocate. 5. @NalaThokozane In 2014, former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela accepted the South African of The Year from the Guptas on live TV, no problems. In 2021, the Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane buys President Zuma's book and you have a problem? Nonsense. 6. @Maps_pj The same Public Protector once…

Christmas party scandal deepens

BRITISH Prime Minister Boris Johnson is in deep trouble. While the rest country had battened down the hatches against the coronavirus, he is accused of having a Christmas party for his staff at 10 Downing Street on December 18 last year. He has repeatedly denied it. But, when a video emerged of his advisor, Allegra Stratton, laughing and joking when questioned about the party, he has apologised unreservedly for the naughty, incriminating video. But the British public will have none of it. How could the leader of a nation expect the public to abide by the Covid-19 regulations when he himself breaks them? But, it is not only the Christmas party that has landed the prime minister in hot water. It has now been uncovered that he conducted a virtual…

Zimbabwean influx into SA due to graft

IT IS pathetic and disappointing that the Zimbabwean government is ignoring the rampant corruption by senior officials and ministers. The Beitbridge border between South Africa and Zimbabwe is dominated by massive bribery scandals causing many Zimbabweans to enter South Africa illegally. This unprecedented level of corruption sees many Zimbabweans entering South Africa illegally for as little as R100. It is heartbreaking that a country – once the bread basket of Africa – is now dominated by corruption and relies on donors for food. Corruption in Zimbabwe is now regarded as normal – anyone who rejects it is branded insane. To obtain a birth certificate or passport, you have to bribe someone. To get a place at a boarding school, you have to bribe the head teacher. To pass through a…

Kolisi’s book should be stocked in libraries

GIVEN that Springbok rugby captain Siya Kolisi is an inspiration on and off the field, it is astonishing that KwaZulu-Natal’s department of sport, arts and culture has failed to supply any of its municipal libraries with his autobiography. Kolisi’s book, Rise is one of the fastest-selling books in the country, after being released in September. It captures the essence of his life and rise to fame as the first black South African captain to lead the national rugby team to win the World Cup in 2019. Kolisi serves as an example of an exemplary leader, particularly to the youth. His autobiography deserves to be made available at all South African libraries, so that our young people can read about his rise to success and know that, no matter what life…

‘Dove of Peace’ or not, Miss SA embarrassed herself

BODIES OF MISSING FAMILY FOUND How can people do this, especially to those little children. South Africa is a hell-hole. We don’t need a civil war or invasion to deteriorate into a war zone; we are already there. There is no law, justice or respect for life. This behaviour is going to force people all over to form vigilante groups to protect their communities, Black, white, Indian and coloured. The SAPS does not have enough vehicles or manpower to protect citizens. Only God can help us in this situation. Why was the kidnapping not on the news or on social media? Five people were kidnapped and killed. I’m naar (nauseous). And remember those who did this are protected by our Constitution and enjoy all human rights. When…

eSwatini king eases Covid-19 curbs for ceremony

Sonri Naidoo sonri.naidoo@inl.co.za WHILE other countries within the Southern African region are doing all they can to mitigate the effects of the fourth wave of Covid-19 infections, eSwatini’s King Mswati III and his government is bucking the trend by relaxing restrictions, leaving room for a possible spike in infections. King Mswati’s government has relaxed nationwide restrictions on the movement of people by removing the 9pm curfew imposed early this year. The Swaziland Solidarity Network (SSN) believes the reason for this decision is that the king is desperate to lure as many people as possible to his super-spreader event known as Incwala. Incwala is believed to be eSwatini’s most important cultural event which has lasted for hundreds of years. It is one of the last remaining examples of what was previously…

Some vacant buildings ‘set to house students’

Thobeka Ngema thobeka.ngema@inl.co.za VACANT state-owned buildings and land within eThekwini Municipality are expected to be used as sites for dealing with gender-based violence, for student housing, waste management bureaus, and advertisement and revenue-generation. This was said by Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure Patricia de Lille in response to a written parliamentary question from the IFP’s Khethamabala Sithole. Sithole had asked De Lille how many buildings and land sites in the eThekwini Municipality area were owned by her department, how many of them were unoccupied, and what plans were in place to utilise those that were unutilised. De Lille said in eThekwini Municipality there were 1 083 buildings and 96 land parcels owned by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure and the total number of the buildings and land…

Security companies applauded for protecting businesses

Nokuthula Mabuza nokuthula.mabuza@inl.co.za THE Midlands Chamber of Commerce has applauded private security companies and other agencies involved in an initiative to protect businesses over the festive season. This comes after a spike in small business robberies during the festive season in Pietermaritzburg. The chamber’s CEO, Melanie Veness, said this initiative would benefit businesses and the communities. “Many small businesses can’t afford private security, and are therefore more vulnerable. The willingness shown by these security companies to voluntarily help protect these businesses at their own expense is commendable, and will benefit us all. “As organised business, we’re grateful for this generosity and support. Effectively combating crime requires a solid partnership between the SAPS and the private security industry,” Veness said. Private security companies had also pledged to voluntarily avail themselves to…

BIS report may pave way for R1 500 monthly grant

Sonri Naidoo sonri.naidoo@inl.co.za THE Department of Social Development, in collaboration with the International Labour Organisation and UN Sustainable Development Goals launched a report on Basic Income Support (BIS) for 18-59-year-olds. The expert panel was made up of a mix of economic and related disciplines, including specialist expertise in the fields of social protection and microsimulation. Panel chairperson Alex van der Heever announced that a recommendation was made to the government to institutionalise the Social Relief of Distress grant, with a Basic Income Support grant of R1 500 monthly, aimed at those over the age of 18-59 years who are unemployed.

R12.6bn payout ‘indequate’ - DA says DA

Mayibongwe Maqhina mayibongwe.maqhina@inl.co.za THE DA has expressed its dismay that only R12.6 billion was paid out last month for the claims lodged by businesses affected by the unrest that broke out in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. Speaking in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) yesterday, DA MP Cathlene Labuschagne said SA Special Risk Insurance Association (Sasria) received 14 051 claims valued at R32bn from affected businesses. “Despite the assistance of the National Treasury, only R12.6bn was paid by November over four months. Many businesses have gone under and thousands have been left in lurch as a result of ANC factional battles that spilled on to our streets,” Labushagne said. She made the statement when the select committee on trade and industry, economic development, small business development, tourism, employment and labour conducted…

breakthrough Bodies of five missing family members found

Thobeka Ngema thobeka.ngema@inl.co.za THE police have found the bodies of five family members who went missing in November. The bodies were found after two men were taken in for questioning. Police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker said that on Saturday, December 11, 2021, two suspects, aged 25 and 27, were caught at KwaZinqamu in Elandskop and taken in for questioning after five members from one family had gone missing.

aloe ridge Houses for KZN military veterans ‘a priority’

Staff Reporter The delivery of houses for military veterans in KwaZulu-Natal will be prioritised over the next few months. That was according to Human Settlements Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi and Human Settlements and Public Works MEC Jomo Sibiya. Kubayi and Sibiya said that the delivery of housing was aimed at responding to the military veterans housing backlog, which has led to some of them illegally occupying the Aloe Ridge social housing project in Pietermaritzburg. Kubayi was in KZN on Sunday to meet all the affected stakeholders of Aloe Ridge to find a lasting solution to facilitate the vacating of illegally occupied social housing units in an agreed approach. Kubayi said: “While we have a duty to look after those who qualify for fully subsidised government houses, we cannot promote the illegal…

Murder accused under guard after suicide bid

Gcwalisile Khanyile gcwalisile.khanyile@inl.co.za A FORTY-nine-year-old widow of a taxi boss from Cato Ridge in KwaZulu-Natal is under police guard after she allegedly tried to commit suicide to evade jail. The widow, who cannot be named because she has not yet appeared in court, was arrested for her son’s murder in April, allegedly to claim from insurance. Sources close to the matter told the Daily News that the woman was arrested and placed in a cell at the Durban Central SAPS. However, when the officers checked on her, she was apparently foaming at the mouth and had to be rushed to hospital for medical assistance. “There are suspicions that she might have drank pills or something prior to the arrest, to kill herself,” a source said. The widow was arrested along…

Bid to force ex-department head to answer for wasteful spending

Willem Phungula willem.phungula@inl.co.za THE DA in KwaZulu-Natal wants the retired Education Department head, Dr Enock Nzama, to return and account for the wasteful expenditure incurred by the department for the unlawful purchase and hiring of MEC Kwazi Mshengu’s cars. Dr Imran Keeka, the DA’s education portfolio committee member, told the Daily News yesterday that Nzama must be held accountable, “even if he was no longer with the department”. He said the HOD presided over the matter and therefore he should be called to account for his “improper conduct that cost taxpayers a lot of money”. “We do not believe that the former HOD should escape this just because he has retired. He must come back and answer this. Someone must pay back the money here, therefore we are calling for…

Family knew female ‘mastermind’ – claim

Willem Phungula willem.phungula@inl.co.za THE National Freedom Party has said it believes the woman who allegedly masterminded the murder of its candidate ward councillor, Dumisani Qwabe, is known to the family and was close to the deceased. Qwabe, the ward 17 candidate in Nongoma, was found burnt beyond recognition in his bakkie on October 26, five days before the local government elections on November 1. He had sustained gunshot wounds, but the family were able to identify him by his feet, the only part not burnt. DNA results corroborated this. NFP secretary-general Canaan Mdletshe told the Daily News yesterday it had learnt that the female suspect arrested and charged with Qwabe’s murder was apparently known to the family and was very close to him. “This was apparently why Qwabe was easily…

Dedication ceremony to honour those who donate their bodies to science

Se-Anne Rall se-anne.koopman@inl.co.za THE University of KwaZulu-Natal's College of Health Sciences last week held a funeral service for those who had donated their bodies to science. The dedication ceremony was intended to honour both the donors and the deceased. UKZN’s senior lecturer of clinical anatomy, Dr Pamela Pillay, said the ceremony was an oppportunity for both students and staff to show their appreciation to the donors. The department invited a non-demoninational religious leader to conduct the ceremony. Also among the invited guests was the Inspector of Anatomy for KZN, in order to ensure oversight in line with legislation. Wendy Hutchinson was present at the service to pay her respects to her father, Herbert Saunders, who died in July 2019 at the age of 72. She said her father had chosen…

Progress needed after liberation

EGYPT will celebrate the centenary of its independence from Britain in February. About 70 years ago, liberation began to sweep across the rest of Africa. December 1951 marked the independence of Libya. Ghana won its independence in 1957. The Congo followed in 1960, Tanzania in 1961, Algeria in 1962, Kenya in 1963 and Zambia in 1974. Freedom came much later to the settler colonies in southern Africa. Mozambique won its end to colonial rule in 1975, and independence in Zimbabwe finally came in 1980. Still later, Namibia got its independence in 1990 and South Africa finally got its freedom in 1994. Many of the men – and they were all men – who led national liberation movements to triumph were global figures, and often serious intellectuals as well as political…

SIBERIAN HEATWAVE RECORD

The UN yesterday officially recognised the 38°C measured in Siberia last year as a new record high for the Arctic, sounding “alarm bells” over climate change. The sweltering heat was seen on June 20, 2020 in the Russian town of Verkhoyansk, the highest temperature recorded above the Arctic Circle, the UN said. This is the first time it has added record heat in the Arctic to its archive of extreme weather reports. It said the temperature was “more befitting the Mediterranean” and was measured during a heatwave. | AFP…

TROOPS START LEAVING MALI

French troops were preparing to leave the Malian city of Timbuktu yesterday, more than eight years after Paris first intervened in the conflict-torn Sahel state after an eight-month Islamist occupation. Since 2013, Paris has deployed around 5 100 troops across the Sahel region, which includes Mali, helping governments to fight an Islamist insurgency. French President Emmanuel Macron announced a drawdown of French troops in June, following a coup last year that ousted president Ibrahim Boubacar Keita. | AFP…

Iran accuses West of ‘blame game’

| Reuters | AFP Iran yesterday accused Western parties to its 2015 nuclear deal of “persisting in their blame game”, a day after European diplomats warned the pact would soon be an empty shell if not revived. “Some actors persist in their blame game habit, instead of real diplomacy. We proposed our ideas early, and worked constructively and flexibly to narrow gaps,” Iran’s top negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani, said on Twitter. “Diplomacy is a two-way street. If there’s real will to remedy the culprit’s wrongdoing, the way for a quick, good deal will be paved.” In a pessimistic assessment of talks between Iran and major powers in Vienna, diplomats from Britain, France and Germany warned that “time is running out” to rescue the pact, which they said…

Sharks name Bok duo Fynn, Pietersen as Currie Cup coaches

Staff Reporter THERE might be a slight lull in rugby action on the field, but all the South African franchises are making important moves off it as they prepare to tackle both the United Rugby Championship (URC) and the Currie Cup in the new year. The Sharks announced their management team for the Currie Cup yesterday, assigning former Springbok prop Etienne Fynn and 2007 World Cup-winning wing JP Pietersen as his assistant to take up the mantle of responsibility in that tournament. wAssisting the duo will be former Bok captain Warren Whiteley (lineouts), Phiwe Nomlomo (off the ball and skills), John McFarland (defence) and Akvsenti Giorgadze (scrums), all of whom will share overlapping responsibilities between the two competitions. “Building player depth is important, but equally crucial is having coaches in…

Might Sharma’s absence actually help Kohli & Co?

Stuart Hess stuart.hess@inl.co.za WHAT effect could Rohit Sharma’s absence have on India’s chances of winning the three-match Test series against South Africa? Not having Sharma around is a massive blow, given the 34-year-old’s form this year. He is second only to England captain Joe Root on the list of leading Test run-scorers in 2021. Sharma’s aggregate of 906 runs includes two centuries and four fifties, and he has been critical to India winning seven out of the 13 Test matches they’ve played this year. Virat Kohli is having a poor year when measured against the staggeringly high standards he has set for himself. He has scored just 483 runs in 17 Test innings, and his last Test century came over two years ago. While Sharma’s Test career has…

Draw kings AmaZulu fight back to snatch point from Chippa

Smiso Msomi smiso.msomi@inl.co.za AMAZULU fought back from two goals down to rescue a point against Chippa United in a 2-2 Premiership draw at Kings Park in Durban yesterday. Bafana Bafana international goalkeeper Veli Mothwa gifted Chippa United the lead in the 22nd minute. The Usuthu shot-stopper dilly-dallied on the ball after receiving a back pass from Mbongeni Gumede, and then in-form striker Bienevu Eva Nga pressed and was rewarded when the ball ricocheted off his shin and into Mothwa’s open goal. In the 29th minute, the Chilli Boys were two goals up as Eva Nga registered on the score sheet once more. The Cameroon international ran through the AmaZulu defence and was beautifully found by captain Sizwe Mdlinzo, he remained calm and slotted the ball in at the near post…

Late Zwane strike saves Sundowns at Loftus

ONCE again table-toppers Mamelodi Sundowns made heavy weather of victory after dominating the possession stakes, but they were able to pull off a 2-1 win over basement dwellers Baroka FC at Loftus yesterday. With this result, Sundowns’ target of a record-extending five straight Premiership titles remains on course. They have opened a 15-point lead at the top of the standings as they reached the 40-point mark. At this stage, Sundowns have equalled Chiefs’ record of 40 points at the halfway stage of their 2014-15 title-winning season. Bottom-placed Baroka will remain marooned at the foot-end of the league table with 10 points. Central striker Kermit Erasmus was given a rare start alongside Peter Shalulile and Themba Zwane in a three-pronged attack. Shalulile, presently the Premiership’s leading goal-scorer with…

City held by improved Gallants

Eshlin Vedan eshlin.vedan@inl.co.za CAPE Town City’s frustration was compounded after they were held to a 0-0 draw by resurgent Marumo Gallants at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane yesterday. City started off as the better team as they pressed and probed the Gallants defence. Thabo Mnyamane pioneered Gallants’ first real attack of the game in the 13th minute, but he ended up being stopped in his tracks by Craig Martin. There was a nasty collision between Bradley Ralani and Isaac Nhlapo in the 24th minute, which created a stoppage in play. Fortunately, nothing serious resulted as Ralani was soon back on his feet. The game was a fairly disciplined affair for the first half-hour before Gallants’ Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo received the first caution of the game for a challenge on Mduduzi…

Max always a winner, says kart track owner

Formula One world champion Max Verstappen stood out even in infancy as a serial winner, the owner of the Belgian kart track where the Dutch driver first honed his racing skills said on Monday. Paul Lemmens, whose Karting Genk circuit is known as the ‘Home of Champions’, recalled first meeting a four-year-old Verstappen when father and former F1 racer Jos brought him along to test a baby kart. “It was amazing to see because his helmet was bigger than himself,” he said a day after Red Bull’s 24-year-old Verstappen won the title in Abu Dhabi. “The father Jos was racing also in my team, and for that, he started here. He lived also in Belgium about 15km from here, so each weekend or each day they had off,…

England face pink-ball challenge

England head into the day-night second Ashes Test in Adelaide tomorrow under pressure and facing an ominous task against an Australian team who have won all of their eight pink-ball matches. The tourists’ capitulation by nine wickets in the opening Test in Brisbane exposed their batting and fielding frailties, exacerbated by rain-hit preparations and lack of match practice. It wasn’t helped by poor decision-making – notably captain Joe Root choosing to bat after winning the toss on a juicy Gabba pitch, and the widely criticised omission of pace veterans James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Root knows his team must find a way to improve, and fast, to stand a chance at a ground where Australia have hosted five of their eight Test wins under lights. “We have got to be…

Man United v Brentford postponed due to Covid

Manchester United’s Premier League match at Brentford, scheduled for last night, was postponed due to a number of Covid-19 cases at the Old Trafford club, the league announced. Ralf Rangnick’s United had reported a “small number” of cases discovered among first-team staff and players on Sunday, with the squad who travelled to Norwich City for their Premier League clash on Saturday kept apart from those who had the virus. “The decision (to postpone the Brentford-United game) was taken following guidance from medical advisers due to the exceptional circumstances of an ongoing Covid-19 outbreak within Manchester United’s squad,” the league said in a statement. “First team operations at the club’s Carrington Training Complex were closed down today to help control the outbreak and minimise risk of further infection among players and…

New Steyn City event part of World Tour

THE Club at Steyn City in the north of Johannesburg will host its first major international tournament with the new $1.5-million Steyn City Championship, which will make its debut on the Sunshine Tour and DP World Tour schedule in March 2022. The Steyn City Championship, scheduled to take place from 17-20 March 2022 , will be the fifth tournament co-sanctioned by both the Sunshine Tour and DP World Tour, and will feature prominently amidst a strong South African swing of DP World Tour and Challenge Tour events on local fairways. Steyn City now takes its place on the global DP World Tour schedule, which visits 27 different countries in 12 months, putting the international focus squarely on this Jack Nicklaus golf course. “We are very excited to welcome The Club…

Lewis-Max F1 drama: Lessons for rugby and cricket to be truly global sports

GROWING up, I used to watch Formula One races with great excitement on Sundays. Not just the thrilling starts, mind you. Brazilian legend Ayrton Senna was my driver of choice, and his duels with Frenchman Alain Prost – especially when they were both at McLaren – were almost always eye-catching. As the years went by and Senna and Prost were no longer around, Michael Schumacher quickly established his dominance. Schumi’s time at Benetton was memorable, and he was still a cult star at Ferrari. But with greater technology entering the sport and perhaps taking away from the driver skill, the races became more and more of a procession around the track, with little action such as overtaking manoeuvres to enthral the crowds. The excitement levels for me dropped to such…

Boks back on Papier’s mind

Ashfak Mohamed ashfak.mohamed@inl.co.za DID you know that Embrose Papier made his Springbok debut as far back as June 2018? It was in that infamous Washington DC Test against Wales, where then-new Bok coach Rassie Erasmus had picked a makeshift team as he had left the bulk of his first-choice team at home to prepare for the England series. The gamble nearly paid off, but South Africa went down 22-20. Papier, then 21, came on to the pitch for the last four minutes as a wing in place of Makazole Mapimpi, and his stock grew throughout the year as he earned four more Test caps off the bench before earning his first start against Scotland at Murrayfield. The Bulls halfback showed his class in that match, with one memorable run eventually…
