That's some achievement. Inspired by pushing her willpower to its limits and the need to give back to South Africans less fortunate than herself, marathon runner Nontu Mgabhi has run seven marathons on seven continents over seven days. The KwaZulu-Natal woman from Richards Bay returned accomplished and full of glee on Wednesday at King Shaka International Airport after participating in the World Marathon Challenge. The challenge is a logistical and physical one that sees participants run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. Competitors must run the standard 42.195km marathon in Antarctica, Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, South America and North America within 168 hours. https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/feel-good-seven-marathons-on-seven-continents-in-seven-days-no-problem-20200220

Did not know there was one, one of the guys I sometimes ride with's company had a gazebo just after the finish so scored free boerrie roll, snacks and drinks.

Equally as dangerous is how some of the Vets ride, I know of 2 riders that went down on R23 and heard stories of others that ended up on the gravel after been pushed off by them, they fly past you then immediately cut in.

Kudu's to the event orgs then for quick response . We started in the same batch and by the time I passed it looked to be mostly cleared up with about 4 ambulances on top of other org vehicles.

Provisional results are up http://results.racetec.co.za/results.aspx

This whole off shore petroleum scam had been used a number of years now, surprising people are still falling for it. Have they just got access to the internet now ?

That was because of road works, the land is vacant (just do not tell EFF )

Plenty of parking both in the stadium and the open stretch of land opposite.

7:59 start, including mandatory post ride boerrie roll and coke I should be back home by 10:30.

See you there

Which is why Carte Blanche was not balanced and one sided. They only screened those that have had negative interactions with SANP, following other comments on social media there have been many that have good interaction. Why not also screen those.

Not on this year.

South Africans are paying up to four times more for electricity than a decade ago – and that’s to finance stealing and cost overruns at the Medupi and Kusile power stations. Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan called numbers and statistics comparing Eskom of a decade ago with present-day Eskom "atrocious", saying tariff increases over that period mean ordinary South Africans are paying four times more than they used to. https://www.fin24.com/Economy/Eskom/gordhan-you-are-paying-4-times-more-for-electricity-because-of-stealing-at-medupi-and-kusile-20200122

Done the 116 many times, past few years I have done shorter version with a cycle to and from the venue I still get a decent distance.

Well trained officials with the correct knowledge and power on how to handle incidents, unlike the park rangers https://twitter.com/Abramjee/status/1219209838019956738

When car guards and intersection beggars embrace technology there will no longer be the excuse "sorry I do not have change"

Eskom chair Jabu Mabuza unexpectedly resigned on Friday, president Cyril Ramaphosa announced. In the wake of his resignation, Eskom will also get a new board, the presidency said. https://www.fin24.com/Economy/Eskom/breaking-eskom-chair-jabu-mabuza-resigns-20200110

.

Squirrel who as DP was tasked to oversee all SOE's including Eskom, and even though under his watch expressed surprise at the amount of corruption that took place. Medupi has been a problem almost from the start yet he only saw fit to visit to the site for the first time a month or two back.

SA has some of the best LR protection laws, even police officers who have been convicted of serious offences still hold their positions. A whopping 4,174 members of the police have criminal records, for a variety of crimes such as assault, theft, kidnapping and fraud. This was revealed in a parliamentary reply by police minister Bheki Cele, who also told parliament that among them were 32 senior managers who had convictions for crimes such as fraud, public violence and assault. Among the rank and file of the SAPS were officers convicted for assault, theft, kidnapping and murder. In his written response, Cele did not comment specifically on murders but their existence emerged in the statistical tables attached to his response. He was responding to parliamentary questions from DA MP Dianne Kohler Barnard who asked about the number of employees at senior management level who had criminal records. In another question she asked for numbers and a breakdown of all the types of crimes that SAPS members were convicted of. Of the 32 senior managers, three were convicted for offences relating to the contravention of the Arms and Ammunition Act and the Firearms Control Act and 19 for contravening road traffic legislation. Three were convicted of contravening internal security legislation, seven had common law-related offences such as fraud, public violence, contempt of court, malicious damage to property and assault respectively and one member had an offence related to the contravention of liquor legislation - over and above a traffic offence.

Whats also sticks out is in Nics case they use the words assaulted, not allegedly assaulted. In the woman's case they use the words allegedly assaulted, yet both have clear footage of it been assault.

Did not work out too well for this woman either when the "approved officials" with power to arrest is misused. The officers were not suspended while an investigation took place, I guess it is because they were "approved" The Pretoria nursery school teacher who was allegedly assaulted and thrown to the ground by Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD) officers didn't pull over immediately because she was still traumatised after having been duped into a fake roadblock by gangsters in February. Following the harrowing ordeal, 28-year-old Kymie du Toit was advised by police to drive to a safe place in future should she be approached by what appeared to be police. When she was approached by a TMPD police vehicle in a dark area on her way home after a babysitting job on November 26, that's exactly what she did. She turned on her hazards and drove to the safest place she could think of - the nearest petrol station. Here she was instead allegedly assaulted and manhandled by police officers, before being arrested on a charge of reckless and negligent driving. Regards the Ranger trying to prevent filming, there are many reports of national and metro police, who you would think were trained in the law doing exactly that.

For sure yes A Hanover Park family has opened a criminal case after a mentally disabled man was allegedly beaten up by cops and thrown out of a two-storey window. The angry family of Abdullah Dollie, 40, says he was left with a broken leg, broken arm and lacerations on his face after plunging from the council flat in Walvis Court.
