Staff [email protected]
Property company Atterbury Property Developments has
initiated a R1.3 billion retail and business development in Newtown, Joburg CBD. The company’s Managing Direc-tor James Ehlers says the initiative, called Newtown Junction will com-prise a 40 000sqm shopping centre, offi ces, a hotel, gym, and basement parking providing 2 400 bays. “This will integrate with the heritage and artistic attractions of Joburg’s his-toric Newtown precinct.”
Ehlers adds that the project is backed by the Johannesburg Property Com-pany (JPC) and counsel from the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) for the heritage ingredients of the development, and is supported by leading businesses, which include Pick’n Pay, Shoprite, Mr Price, Truworths, Foschini and Nedbank. “The development connects the past, present and future of this en-vironment with care and fl air. New-town Junction will be sustainable while preserving Joburg’s history and revitalising our heritage, and create a space relevant to those who
live, work and travel in the city to-day. It will be a lively hub where people can shop, eat, relax and con-nect with the city legacy surround-ing them. It will also create an esti-mated 1700 jobs in the development project.” Atterbury Property Developments Director of Retail, Cobus van Heerden says the project is geared to further revitalise the Newtown precinct. “The architecture will be an ap-pealing mix of old facades and new structures. This fi ts with Newtown’s identity which blends old and new beautifully,” van Heerden adds.

According to reports reaching the Inner City Gazette, the
valuations on the majority of the Inner City Properties were not just inflated but hyper-inflated from the 2008 values to levels that do not compare with the current mar-ket values. The new property valuations ac-cording to these reports vary from 75% to more than 450% above the 2008 values, thereby ignoring the fact that from 2008, property val-ues have actually dropped. Property owners and tenants will therefore be faced with out-rageous monthly rates bills, and will be made to pay the high rate increases, which has been forced onto them by the City Council of Johannesburg. In an extract from the latest Rates Watch newslet-ter, a company whose existence is only thanks to these issues, quotes
the valuations as a ‘debacle’. The company e-Valuations (PTY) Ltd was appointed to assist in the compilation of the latest Johannes-burg valuation roll. In a dramatic show of NO CONFIDENCE to this new roll, the City of Johan-nesburg has officially objected to 63 000 properties appearing in the new roll. This is an unprecedented number of counter valuations by the Metro. Why was it necessary for the Johannesburg Metro TO LODGE OBJECTIONS AGAINST THEIR OWN VALUATION ROLL? The reason is that there is a lack of confidence in the accuracy of the new valuation roll and it would appear that the Metro concentrated primarily on “under-valued” prop-erties. In addition to the 63 000 council objections, approximately 23 000 public objections were lodged by rate payers who were of the opin-
ion that their properties were in-correctly valued.” In a letter from one of the promi-nent housing companies in the city, the company writes to City Coun-cil saying: “In our market seg-ment, affordability is paramount, and the ability of tenants to pay rent and utilities and still have suf-ficient funds for living expenses is fundamental. Substantial Council double digit tariff increases in al-most all utility and rates categories over the past few years have put significant strain on the affordabil-ity of rentals, and the ability for tenants to keep a decent roof over their and their families heads.” The only conclusion that can be made from this outrageous valua-tion increases imposed on property owners and tenants is that they are considered soft targets that can pay for and finance the big short-fall in the City of Johannesburg’s budget due to no income from the
many hundreds of hijacked build-ings, as well as the inability of the City of Johannesburg to recover the massive outstanding debt of approximately R6.5 billion that has accrued. We as tenants in the Inner City have been targeted and call on the City Council of Johannesburg to explain, why after all these years of payments, and support, we have given to the Council, they now
want to target the lower and mid-dle class income groups with costs or with rate hikes, that are so out of proportion to the property val-ues that have been in place for the last 30 years. Assessment Rates were increased annually by approximately 5 – 7 % (Always guided by the Consumer Price Index).
WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS?

Recent press coverage of Joburg mayor Parks Tau’s state of the city address,
which announced, among other things, massive and long-term public investment in Joburg’s urban infrastructure, tended to zoom in on a throwaway statement by the mayor, in the course of the address, that Joburg’s transformation would turn it into “a New York of Africa”. Immediately, feathers were ruffled. “Can’t we just be the Joburg of Africa?”, asked one bitter tweeter, and many, our-selves included, agreed. Surely, it is time that Joburg shed its inferiority complex and jettison aspirations to mimic a city located on an entirely different continent and in an entirely different context? All of this was made even more inter-esting for us by the fact that we were
reading this in New York, where we were fortunate enough to be spending (the op-erative word in more ways than one) a week. High on adrenalin and the childish joy of being among the very skyscrapers and lights that have animated our TV and internet existence for decades, we reflect-ed not only on the many ways in which Joburg neither was, nor would ever be, like New York, but also on the ways in which it was similar. Like New York, Joburg is at the fore-front of a nation’s urbanisation. Like New York, it drives the nation’s economy, culture and politics. Like New York, it is the nation’s biggest, grittiest, most cre-
ative, most diverse, realest place. Like New York, it is con-stantly transforming, becoming, regenerat-ing. Like New York (and this is probably what Tau had in mind when he said what he did), it is on the way up, emerging from more difficult times. Like New York, it
has always been a symbol of possibility, a place where people go to strive for their dreams, better their lives, become them-selves, with mixed success. Unlike New York, of course, Joburg is, does and represents all of these things amid staggering poverty, inequality and hardship, shaped both physically and psychologically by a past of tyranny and exclusion. Unlike New York, its famed “decline” was not only due to market forces, urban planning fads and middle-class trends, but also to the (albeit wel-come) breakdown of a social system, the alienation and mutual mistrust of a peo-ple, the racialism and fear underpinning (spatial and other) skewed distributions of economic power. Unlike New York, then, Joburg’s re-generation is about far more than just improving living conditions, gentrifica-tion and reimagining the possibilities of urban life. For Joburg, it is more about reconstruction, re-integration and repair. About bridging historic divides and forg-ing a new nation of astonishing difference but common presence. It is more compli-cated for Joburg. More fraught. More exciting. Urbanjoburg.com
How right or wrong was Joburg’s mayor in recently stating that Joburg could be the New York of Africa?

IEC spokesperson Kate Bapela said Mamphela Ramphele’s party had been regis-tered, but anyone with objections could still come forward. Last month the Hola Bon Re-naissance (HBR) Foundation NGO said one of its programmes is called Agang, and so it had written to the IEC objecting to the registration of Agang SA. “Ramphele must engage with our lawyers or contact our offi ce and stop be-ing desperate to hijack the name,” HBR said. Agang SA spokesperson Thabo Leshilo con-fi rmed completion of the party’s registration. “There is no legitimate name dispute, and the registration means that we can collect mem-bership fees. It is the only party with the name which is contesting national elections.”
Agang objection period
Cape Town - A total of 44 people were mur-dered in greater Cape Town over the weekend. The Cape Argus reported that 29 people were stabbed to death and 12 were shot dead be-tween 16:00 on Friday and 07:30 on Monday, and three were beaten to death. The killings are believed to be gang-related on the Cape Flats. Rival gangs fi ghting over drug turf have led to regular shootings in Mitchells Plain, Lavender Hill and Valhalla Park, according to residents. Police spokes-man Lt-Col Andre Traut said no arrests have been made. Sanco member William Jonas of Mitchells Plain also suspects rival gangs are fi ghting over drug turf. “It’s a daily thing; peo-ple mostly stay indoors as bullets fl y through-out the day. The gangs are well organised and are well known, but people are afraid to speak up because they will be killed.” Abie Isaacs, the Mitchells Plain Community Police Forum’s chairman said fi ghts over drug turf accounted for the shootings. Provincial CPF spokesman Hanif Loonat said in the past such incidents were isolated, but have spread across the Cape Flats. “It is diffi cult for the police to tackle the problem.”

Durban - The KZN Social Development department has announced that a toddler died at Umlazi over the weekend after he was fed drug-laced alcohol. Social Development spokesperson Ncum-isa Fandesi said the two-year-old boy, Phi-wokuhle Mthethwa, was taken to a party by his 20-year-old mother, who did not notice when someone gave her son the drug-laced alcoholic beverage. Police spokesperson
Capt Thulani Zwane said they were waiting for post mortem results and no arrests had been made. “We can’t reveal the suspects as investigations continue,” Zwane added. KZN Social Development MEC Weziwe Thusi said: “This is another example of why our communities should rise against drugs. I do not understand what the child was doing where alcohol was served. A child has been killed and someone must pay for it.”

The hospital where former president
Nelson Mandela is being treated continues to attract a stream of visitors. South Afri-cans from all walks of life have stopped by to wish Madiba well. Bouquets continue to grow, but the majority of tributes for the statesman come in the form of individual messages penned on colourful paper. The last offi cial update on Madiba’s health was on Thursday. Four days later, South Africans want reassurance from the Presidency. Madiba’s wife Graça Machel and Parliamentary Speaker Max Sisulu in-dicated over the weekend that the global icon was making progress. Finance Minis-ter Pravin Gordhan says this is the time for all South Africans to unite with the Man-
dela family as he remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital. US President Barack Obama made a moving toast to South Africa’s former president during a dinner held in his hon-our in Pretoria during his recent visit. Obama said the sacrifi ces made by Man-dela and South Africa’s freedom fi ghters had resonated in the United States, which had its own civil rights movement. “I wouldn’t be here if not for freedom fi ghters, we are inspired by you to believe that anything is possible.” Obama recited the poem Invictus by William Ernest Hen-ley, which speaks of the triumph of the hu-man spirit and which Mandela often turned to in his cell on Robben Island. Raising a
glass, Obama proposed a toast to the man who “has always
been master of his fate, who taught us that we can be masters of ours”. Madiba is a fi ghter; he will beat this situ-ation and will come out stronger. I join the world in sending prayers to his family and those who care about him. May he fully recover and live for another 20 years! What will you do for your community on 18 July to celebrate Madiba’s birthday ? Madiba was admitted to the Mediclinic Heart Hospital more than three weeks ago with a recurring lung infection. God heal you Madiba, blessed you are. When you slightly cough the whole world comes to a standstill. You are the best humble servant the world has ever had.
Nelson Mandela is a fi ghter; he will beat this situation and will come out stronger and well. I join the world in sending prayers to his family.
While the country is gearing up to-wards making a difference to the
lives of others this Mandela Day on the 18th July, the South African National Blood Service would like to encourage the public to get involved in blood donation. The current blood stocks are at a criti-cal level and we are currently experi-encing low collections due to schools and universities being on holiday, as well as the cold weather condition. The collections have dropped dras-tically resulting in a daily average of about 1.7 days of blood being avail-able. This is far less than the fi ve day stock required to ensure that the coun-try’s demand for safe blood is met. SANBS needs to collect 3 000 units a day to meet the demand, but we have not achieved this since the start of the winter holidays. We are requesting the public to make every day a Mandela Day and become regular blood donors. This charitable act can save up to three lives. You can save a life by donating blood every 56 days, instead of just once a year. Your blood is vital in helping change the lives of those who are dependent on blood transfusions for their survival. This is a plea to all South Africans who meet the minimum requirements to commit to donating blood, especial-ly at this very diffi cult period. Minimum requirements to be a donor:• Be between the ages of 16 – 65 years• Weigh more than 50 kg• Be in good health • Live a sexually safe lifestyleTo fi nd your nearest donor centre call us on 0800 11 9031 or visit www.sanbs.org.za or fi nd us on Facebook or Twit-ter. All centres will be operating until 18:00 between 1 and 19 July 2013.

Minister held over massacreConakry - Government minister Col Claude Pivi has been charged in connection with a massacre at a sta-dium in 2009. At least 157 people were killed when troops attacked people protesting against military rule, and scores of women were raped. Col Pivi, now in charge of presidential security, is the seventh military figure to be charged over the events. Rights groups have criticised President Alpha Conde for not moving fast enough to bring those responsible to justice. Col Pivi was a leading figure in the CNDD military junta led by Capt Moussa Camara at the time of the massacre on 28 September 2009. Witnesses said people were shot, stabbed, bludgeoned or trampled to death, and women raped and tortured. Victims support group head Asmaou Diallo said: “We welcome this indictment as it should help us get to the truth. The government must make sure that all those indicted still in the country should be removed from their posts until they face justice.” Capt Camara seized power in 2008 when leader Lan-sana Conte died. He later fled following an assassina-tion attempt. His deputy handed power over to civilian rule, and leader Alpha Conde won elections in 2010.
Interim leader sworn inCairo - A day after the army ousted President Mo-hammed Morsi and put him under house arrest, Constitutional Court Judge Adly Mahmud Man-sour has been sworn in as interim leader. Mansour said fresh elections were the only way forward, but gave no indication of when they would be held. Morsi, Egypt’s first freely elected leader is under house arrest after what he says was a military coup. The army said he had failed to ‘meet the demands of the people’. The upheaval comes after days of mass rallies against Morsi and the Islamist Muslim Brother-hood movement he comes from. Protesters ac-cused them of pursuing an Islamist agenda and of failing to tackle Egypt’s economic problems. The health ministry says at least 10 people were killed and scores injured in clashes at rival protests across the country overnight. Some 50 people have died since the latest unrest began on Sunday. Reports said Mohammed Badie, supreme leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, was also arrested. He is the latest high-profile Brotherhood detainee.
Mogadishu - Al-Shabab has killed two of its own top commanders, one with a US bounty, the group’s spokesman Abdulaziz Abu Musab has announced. A third commander, Sheikh Hassan Aweys has been arrested while fleeing the in-fighting and flown to the capital. Aweys, who is on the UN’s terrorism sanctions list, has agreed to talks with the Somali government. Abu Musab said those killed are co-founders of the al-Qaeda-linked group, in-cluding US-wanted Ibrahim Haji Jama Mead, bet-ter known as Al-Afghani. The US offered a $5 mil-lion bounty for him, who opposed the command of Al-Shabab leader Ahmed Abdi Godane. Godane, who the US offered $7 million for, or-dered the arrest of Afghani and other leaders, ac-cording to security sources. Shabab gunmen also killed Abul Hamid Hashi Olhayi, another senior commander and co-founder of the group. The deaths signal Godane’s efforts to sweep away opposition to his command. Family members said they were executed, but Al-Shabab said they were killed in a gun battle. Al-Shabab is fractured into multiple factions, some based along clan lines and others ideological, but it remains a powerful force.

Dakar - Former Chadian ruler Hissene Habre has been arrested ahead of his trial there over alleged political killings and torture during his rule. Habre had been liv-ing in exile in Senegal for the last 22 years. Habre, who ruled Chad between 1982 and 1990, will be tried in a special court set up by Senegalese authori-ties in agreement with the African Union. The case against Habre follows years of procrastinating by Sen-egal under ex-president Abdoulaye Wade. It will be the first time a former leader of an African state has been tried by another. Court’s spokesman Marcel Mendy said Habre was in police custody after a request by the pros-ecutor. Habre is not expected to appear in court before early 2015 as investigations by the court’s prosecutors are ongoing. Habre’s lawyers called the arrest a kidnap-ping and demanded his immediate release. Counsel for Human Rights Watch Reed Brody, who has worked with Habre’s victims since 1999 said: “After 22 years Habre’s victims can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.” US President Barack Obama highlighted Senegal as an example in Africa for the independence of its judiciary.

Pretoria- Home Affairs Minister Naledi Pandor says the new smartcard identity cards will be offi cially unveiled on the 18th of this month on former President Nelson Mande-la’s 95th birthday. Pandor says the move is aimed at honouring Mandela whom she says dedicated his life to the struggle for freedom and human rights for all the people of South Africa and oppressed people all around the world. She says the fi rst cards will be handed over to President Jacob Zuma, his deputy Kgalema
Montlanthe and other high profi le individu-als. The roll-out programme countrywide is expected to commence next year. Minister Pandor says the Smart ID is a con-tactless card with a capability to accommo-date information from various stakeholders. “Its body is secure and durable, made of quality polycarbonate materials which will prevent potential tampering. Logical security features which include among others, fi nger-prints biometrics, biographic data embedded on the microchip,” she adds.
‘The move is aimed at honouring Mandela who dedicated his life to the struggle for freedom and human rights for all the people of South Africa and oppressed people all around the world’
Thank you for participating in our “Seed Col-lection Campaign” which gives life to the City’s Agriculture and Food Security Pro-gramme - one of Ten City Priorities which aims to address poverty and inequality.

The Agriculture and Food Security prior-ity is intended to generate employment and sustainable livelihoods and is an important part of food security. The City’s focus is on a multi-pronged approach which will include actively supporting and providing incentives for small-scale growers or farmers to among others provide a steady support of fresh pro-duce.

The South African Mzansi Ballet (SAMB) has called for dance
auditions for its 2014 Graduate Pro-gramme, to be held on October 12 at the SAMB studios at the Joburg Theatre in Braamfontein. Spokesperson Samantha Saevit-zon says for any post-matric aspir-ing dancer, the SAMB Graduate Programme is a dream year, offer-ing a unique opportunity to train for either six months or a year with
a professional ballet company and experience fi rst-hand the career of a professional ballet dancer. “This exposure also enables ama-teur dancers to experience whether they are equipped physically, emo-tionally and mentally for the rigors of a full-time ballet career. The course exposes the graduate to the world of the professional stage and successful applicants will partici-pate in the professional company’s classes, rehearsals and productions of a high professional standard.”
Saevitzon adds that the graduates will be taught a set ballet class which they will learn at the begin-ning of the year, and work on in their private classes with members of the professional company. “They will also receive pas de deux classes. Graduates learn reper-toire variations- both classical and contemporary works – and how to set a class. They will also receive strength, stretch and cardio training and will learn about professional ballet hair, make-up and shoe care,” she says. At a graduation ceremony at the end of the year, they will present the class, perform their variations from repertoire and present a group num-ber, Saevitzon says. “Graduates will appear in all the company’s productions, including Coppélia and La Bayadère, and learn the repertoire.” Subjects include physiology, pa-
thology, anatomy, dance history, music appreciation, ballet terminol-ogy and fi rst aid. They will be required to complete a project during the year. Graduates are also required to job shadow se-lected members of management/ar-tistic team, thereby broadening their knowledge of and exposing them to alternative career opportunities within the performing arts sector. This includes general offi ce man-agement, production budgeting and public relations, dealing with the members of the media, public and role-players in the ballet fraternity, and an introduction to fundraising for the arts. At the completion of the one-year course, the SAMB artistic team will evaluate the graduate’s progress and accordingly, and dependent on availability, offer the individual a contract.

The Wits 969 Festival was es-tablished in 2004 and it cel-
ebrates its 10th year with a mixed bag of drama, music and physical theatre designed to fulfi ll the de-sires of those not make the 969 km trek to the National Arts Fes-tival (NAF) in Grahamstown. This year the festival runs from the 9 - 21 of July, two days after the NAF closes, providing great theatrical entertainment. The 969 Festival is showcasing 11 productions, one of which is A day in the desert, presented by Hello Elephant Theatre and di-rected by Jenine Collocott. It is written by the cast and Nick War-ren and features Jenine Collocott and Barbara Draeger. After studying in Florence for three years, Jenine has brought back a German clown who can play a harp. Teaming up with writer, Nick Warren, they share a story of magical realism that takes us from the confi nes of the inner city to the freedom of outer space and back. The story revolves around Fio-na, an upright, unadventurous citizen who is afraid to set foot beyond her front door. On this day, Andromeda, her extroverted adventurous friend persuades Fiona to join her on an adven-ture. In no time they are up in an airplane, headed for the Kalahari Desert. Told with an inventive playful-ness that engages a contemporary audience, we explore serious is-sues with disarming naïveté and artistic generosity, without be-coming preachy, self-indulgent or predictable. These issues in-clude urban paranoia and global warming. From one of the most dynamic and adventurous theatre mak-ing teams in South Africa, Je-nine Collocott and Nick Warren comes a brand new theatrical collaboration with German ac-tress and concert harpist Barbara Draeger. A refreshing feast of rigourous fun, deft scriptwriting, internationally inspired physical theatre performance drawing on the clown tradition of Jacques LeCoq, contemporary theatrical craft, compelling characteriza-tion and live music. ‘A Day in the Desert’ champions the cause of real story, genuine entertain-ment to ignite the imagination and transport the audience of all ages and nationalities into anoth-er world, in the fearless pursuit of inspired audience engagement.

SA’s biggest and only vernacular touring comedy gig, the side-split-tingly funny comedy show, 99% Zulu Comedy, is back in Joburg by popular demand. Two shows will be presented at the Lyric The-atre, Gold Reef City on July 19 and 20. Producer Monwabisi Grootboom says there are gags that are simply better ap-preciated when expressed in an African language. The line-up in-cludes seven professional comics
from KwaZulu-Natal and Joburg, hosted by the only comedienne, DSTV Mzansi Magic’s Celeste Ntuli. Known as the Queen of Zulu Comedy, Ntuli has been a full-time comic for fi ve years and has been performing in 99% Zulu Comedy since 2009. She is joined on stage by Soweto Comedy Festival hit, Skhumba Hlophe, one of SA’s best-loved stand-up comics SyaB, a writer, singer, director and popu-lar TV actor. They are joined by Donovan Goliath, a nominee for the 2012
South African Comic’s Choice Awards™, Felix Hlophe from Vuma 103FM, Simphiwe Sh-embe, Siyanda Maphumulo, and Mpukane. Grootboom says 99% Zulu Com-edy serves as one of important methods of language preservation in a relaxed atmosphere. “For most black comics perform-ing in their mother-tongue recon-nects them with their background. They also get to educate many people in the audience about their cultural heritage and general nu-ances,” Grootboom adds.

Bafana players who will participate in the 2013 Cosafa Cup tournament in Zambia are a blend of youth and experience. Coach Gordon Igesund opted for the mixture in his quest to do well in the competition. Goalkeepers: Wayne Sandilands is one of the few players who have kept their place in the Bafana squad that took part in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. He has been consistent for Sundowns, and is expected to start ahead of the inexperienced Ronwen Williams. Ronwen Williams has been included in the squad to gain in-ternational experience, and his goal-keeping abilities are unquestionable. The 21-year-old SuperSport United ‘keeper has been outstanding both in the domestic league and continental
football in the past two years. Defenders: Thabo Nthethe, the Bloemfontein Celtic skipper has proved a lot of critics wrong with his fine form and since given a break against CAR, he has never looked back. He has been given the responsi-bility to lead Bafana in the absence of Itumeleng Khune. Bevan Fransman, the former Kaizer Chiefs defender has finally been given a chance to once again prove his defensive abilities at Bafana, having previously failed to command a regular place in the team. His European experience will come handy as Igesund seeks to win the trophy. Thulani Hlatshwayo, the Ajax Cape Town defender had a tir-ing 2012/2013 season with the Ur-ban Warriors fighting for their lives, but he put up a brilliant performance throughout the season. His physique
is what Igesund needs in the Bafana team. Tshepo Gumede, the 22-year-old de-fender had a season to remember with Platinum Stars, and he is one of the players expected to gain experience in this tournament. He was recently named the PSL Young Player of the Season after helping Dikwena finish second. Midfielders: Hlompho Kekana, the Sundowns midfielder has deserv-edly been called up after showing im-provements to his game since joining Downs from Celtic. He’s expected to fill the void that will be left by Yeye. Lebogang Manyama was one of the few outstanding players for Ajax Cape Town this past season. His abilities sparked interest from the big Gauteng clubs. Luyolo Nomandela, making his PSL debut this past season, the Free State Stars attacking midfielder is the right man to make those dan-gerous runs into the opponents’ box. He’s comfortable both on the left and the right. Jabulani Shongwe, is one of the promising left wingers in South African football, and he regu-larly featured under Pitso Mosimane at Sundowns. Ruzaigh Gamildien, the Bloem Celtic player has been in fine form for Siwelele this past sea-son. He is a good supplier of the ball and a goalscorer. Strikers: Katlego Mashego, the Swallows forward forced his way back to the Bafana team with 13 strikes from 22 starts, and eventually finished as the league’s top goalscor-er. He also marked his return with a header against CAR in Cameroon. His experience will give Bafana op-tions upfront. Kermit Erasmus, the SuperSport United striker didn’t have a successful season with Matsat-santsa, but his goalscoring ability in known, and he brings a lot of expe-rience to the Bafana team. Thabani Mthembu, the young Platinum Stars striker has done well for himself under coach Cavin Johnson, and al-though he didn’t score a lot of goals for Dikwena, he is certainly one of the Bafana future strikers.

This week Fifa confirmed that Ethiopia have been found
guilty of fielding an ineligible player and are therefore docked three points as expected, which has boosted Bafana’s chances to qualify for the Brazil 2014 World Cup finals. This has happened ahead of the team’s final World Cup qualifier group match against Botswana in September. The Ethiopians have been docked three points for fielding Minyahile Beyene against Botswana on June 8. “The match is declared to be forfeited and awarded 3-0 in favour of Botswana, after the Fifa Disciplinary Committee considered the Ethiopian Foot-ball Federation liable for having breached Article 55, Paragraph 1 of the Fifa Disciplinary Code and Article 8 of the 2014 Fifa World Cup Brazil Regulations. The sanction relates to the Ethiopian player Minyahile Teshome Bey-
ene failing to serve the automatic one-match suspension imposed on him following two cautions received in two different,” reads the Fifa statement in part. FIFA also fined Ethiopia’s federation $6 348 for the offence. However, Fifa confirmed that the Ethiopians cannot be pun-ished twice for the same of-fence, which means their vic-tory against Bafana still stands. Bafana will now need to beat Botswana and hope CAR win or draw against Ethiopia in the other game, to ensure their prog-ress to the third round of the qualifiers. In the most unlikely scenario, if Botswana beat South Africa while Ethiopia lose, then Botswana progresses. Ethiopia are now two points ahead of Bafana, who hold a superior goal difference (+4 v +2). Bafana’s final qualifier will be against Botswana at home on September 7, while Ethiopia will face CAR at a venue to be determined, on the same day.
