Sunday World stands by its story: Hawks pounce on Bonang as SARS zooms in on taxes


Sunday World rejects assertions that have been circulated that our recent story titled “Hawks pounce on Bonang as SARS zooms in on taxes” is fake.

We stand by the report and the comment by National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Phindi Louw-Mjonondwane, who firmly confirmed the matter to us.

A fraud docket with a case number that Sunday World has seen has been registered at the Johannesburg Central Station against Bonang Dorothy Matheba.

Sunday World relied on our triple sourcing method to test these allegations and two court officials quoted in our article confirmed the case to us.

Another source, a police officer from the intelligence unit, collaborated that a case of fraud was being investigated by the Commercial Crime Investigations Unit and was indeed registered at the Johannesburg Central Station. Sunday World has evidence of these details as confirmation.

Further to our facts being questioned, Mjonondwane clarified the statement from the NPA.

“In our file we have a case that was registered against Bonang Matheba at the Johannesburg Central Station. The docket was brought to us and we have not yet decided on it at this stage, pending further investigations,” she said.

Mjonondwane indicates clearly in our article that the matter exists.

While we respect Matheba’s right to seek any recourse available to her, any matter of her intended lawsuit will be ventilated in the appropriate forum.

She is also free to challenge through the correct channels any other issue she has regarding our reportage.

DA to lodge SA Institute of Health Care Managers complaint against Kuruman Hospital CEO


919867356

BY KEDIBONE MOLAETSI

Kuruman- The DA will today lodge a complaint against the Kuruman Hospital CEO, Agnes Sesing, to the South African Institute of Health Care Managers, for gross negligence and mismanagement of her hospital.

This comes after the DA visited the hospital on Friday, following various reports on blood spillage from the hospitals’ mortuary.

“Subsequently, we laid charges against the MEC for Health in the Northern Cape, Mac Jack, who should ultimately be held accountable for the state of this public hospital.

“The general condition of the hospital is appalling. Hospital management had to dispose of medical waste and equipment on the precinct. There is a clear lack of funding from the Northern Cape Health Department, as the neglect is endemic”  DA Federal chairperson Wilmot James said.

DA said the sight of patients on stretchers stationed outside the hospital among dumped hospital beds and other medical waste is shocking and extremely disturbing.

According to DA, these are clearly inhumane and undignified circumstances. The hospital has an unused wing, broken fences and the hospital is completely unhygienic.

Section 27 of the Constitution states that every South African has the right to access health care.

They say how are the residents of Kuruman expected to be satisfied with this hospital in such a desolate state, and say 3 years have passed without any Provincial government support.

“Mr Jack, has not once communicated to the residents, patients and medical staff, what he intends to do to fix the condition of the hospital and ensure the hospital meets its Constitutional obligations” James said.

Lichtenburg- A middle aged police officer died on the scene of accident and one survived with critical injuries when the driver lost control on the R503 road between Mahikeng and Lichtenburg yesterday.

It is reported that the police officers who were driving a Toyota Hilux Double Cab lost control while trying to overtake a truck. According to Traffic Authorities at the scene, the driver realized that there was an oncoming vehicle ahead which allegedly caused him to lose control. The driver survived with critical injuries and was rushed to the hospital by the emergency services.

North West Community Safety and Transport Management MEC Gaoage Molapisi said the South African Government is losing assets due to road accidents. “We continue to lose officials on these roads due to reckless driving. Our motorists need to be observant, cautious and always adhere to road rules,” said Molapisi.

MEC said the accident happened just a day before the official launch of Arrive Alive and Operation When Duty Calls and that is very unfortunate.
