Nog ’n Suid Afrikaner volg Rory na Engeland

Die Engelse klubrugbyspan Worcester Warriors gaan eersdaags nog ’n Suid-Afrikaner in sy afrigtingspan verwelkom. Johan Pretorius, die Haaie se krag- en kondisioneringsafrigter, is op pad na die Worcester Warriors in Engeland.

Die Haaie se krag- en kondisioneringsafrigter, Johan Pretorius, gaan hom ná afloop van die Superrugby-reeks by dié klub aansluit. Die Cheetahs se kondisioneringsbreier, Quinton Kruger, is glo die gunsteling om Pretorius by die Haaie op te volg.

Rory Duncan, wat die Cheetahs die afgelope seisoen in die Pro14-reeks gebrei het, is vroeër vanjaar as Worcester se nuwe hoofafrigter aangestel. Duncan sal dié span se leisels in die komende Europese seisoen neem.

Die Warriors sal voortaan ’n uiters sterk Suid-Afrikaanse geurtjie hê.

Duncan se kaptein by die Cheetahs, die Springbok-senter Francois Venter, sal hom ook voor die komende seisoen by die Warriors aansluit.

Suid Afrika se jong generasie kry nie kans om loopbaan te bou

Lae groei en hoë werkloosheid is die remskoene wat Suid-Afrika se mededingendheid ondermyn. Volgens die 2018-ranglys van die IMD se sentrum vir wêreldmededingendheid is Suid-Afrika 53ste uit die 63 lande wat vergelyk is.

Dit is dieselfde as verlede jaar en een plek laer as in 2016.

Die IMD is ’n sakeskool in Switserland en Singapoer en hy reik dié ranglys jaarliks sedert 1989 uit.

Die indeks word saamgestel deur 258 faktore te oorweeg, wat ekonomiese data soos handelstatistieke insluit, asook ’n meningspeiling onder uitvoerende bestuurders van maatskappye wat in die land sake doen.

Suid-Afrika het onder meer uitdagings met die instandhouding van sy infrastruktuur, werkloosheid en ongelykheid. Die land se hoë werkloosheidsyfer, veral onder die jeug, is ’n groot bron van kommer, het dr. Christos Cabolis, hoofekonoom van die sentrum in Lausanne, Switserland, in ’n telefoniese onderhoud aan Netwerk24 gesê.

Over 200 Persecuted White South African Farmers Have Applied for Refuge in Australia

More than 200 farmers from South Africa have applied for humanitarian visas in Australia after suffering attacks for being white, according to the Australian Home Affairs Ministry.

“The type of criteria they of course have to meet – or the key one – is evidence of persecution, so that’s exactly what we will be looking at,” Home Affairs Deputy Secretary Malisa Golightly said. Home Affairs said 89 refugee visa applications relating to 213 people had been received, although they did not specify their ethnicity or any other details.

News reports emerged earlier this year revealing that white farmers in South Africa had faced persecution after the country’s government approved a new law allowing for the confiscation of their lands, which would be transferred to black citizens.

Following the reports, Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton ann

SA veearts, Lesotho-seun onder gaste wat die naweek die Britse koninklike troue bygewoon het

‘n Oudleerling van die St. Andrew-skool in Bloemfontein was een van honderde gaste wat die naweek die Britse koninklike troue bygewoon het.

Chris Kester Vickery (45), wat in 1990 aan dié skool gematrikuleer het, was een van die sowat 600 uitgesoekte gaste wat Saterdag die troue van die hertog en hertogin van Sussex bygewoon het.

Mutsu Potsane (15) van Lesotho is ook na die troue genooi. Hy was ’n vierjarige vigswesie toe hy prins Harry, wat op besoek aan Lesotho was, se hart gesteel het.

Die Britse koerant The Sun berig prins Harry het betaal sodat Potsane die troue kon bywoon. Hy sou boonop een van die eerste gaste wees wat Harry se bruid, Meghan Markle, kon groet.

Vickery se onderneming, Conservation Solutions, wat onder meer in die vang van wild, verskuiwing van wild, en navorsing oor die bestuur van wild spesialiseer, werk gereeld saam met die nieregeringsorganisasie African Parks, waarvan prins Harry die president is.

New Boks coach, Rassie Erasmus set to name his first Springbok squad in the coming week

The strongest indication yet of the direction the Springboks are headed under new coach, Rassie Erasmus is set to come to light this coming Saturday, as he will name his first squad since taking over the reins in March.

The former Bok loose forward’s first assignment is a once-off Test against Wales in Washington, before his charges return home for a three-match series against England.

With just a matter of days before the Boks take the field for the first time this year, Erasmus already has a few headaches, and will most likely have to pick a new captain, as both Warren Whiteley – who skippered the national side in 2016 – and last season’s leader, Eben Etzebeth are both out injured.

Stormers captain, Siya Kolisi could be the man handed the armband, while Bulls flyhalf, Handre Pollard could also be entrusted with leading the side.

Springbok Rugby News: Boks to play Wales without overseas-based players

Springbok coach, Rassie Erasmus will have to go into his first Test at the helm with a XV comprising of only players based in South Africa.

Erasmus’ men open the 2018 season with a historic once-off Test against Wales, played in Washington DC on 2 June – a date which happens to fall just outside World Rugby’s international window – meaning European clubs risk a fine if they release their players for national duty in this period.

Welsh coach, Warren Gatland has also been dealt a similar blow, as he was forced to leave out his England-based contingent, as he named a squad devoid of the likes of experienced Bath lock, Luke Chateris, and Wocester Warriors wing, Josh Adams.

Bulls 39-30 Sharks
The Bulls came out top in a feisty South African derby at Loftus on Saturday. The win reignited the Bulls’ playoff aspirations in 2018, scoring five tries to three from their visitors.

It was an epic encounter from both teams. The Bulls took a 22-17 lead into half-time, and held on when things got tough.

And, just to give context to the action – there were three yellow cards in the match.

The Shark lost two players – Curwin Bosch and Lukhanyo Am – while the Bulls lost RG Snyman to a yellow too.

Rugby News:- SA Rugby ditch overseas-based player policy

The pool of players available to new Springbok coach, Rassie Erasmus has just increased drastically, as SA Rugby have made a change to its selection policy, regarding overseas-based players.

Previously, only players possessing over 30 international caps were eligible for Springbok selection – a rule which incidentally was only in place during former coach, Allister Coetzee’s tumultuous tenure in charge.

Now Sport24 reports that the policy has been scraped, giving Erasmus free reign to select which ever player he so pleases. This was confirmed on Thursday by SA Rugby president, Mark Alexander.

“Rassie is in his last year of preparation before the World Cup, so he can select any overseas-based player,” he said.

“He has just 18 Tests in which to prepare for the World Cup, so we gave him grace.

“Rassie has already spoken to a few play

Sterkman Johan Els is as die wêreld se sesde sterkste man aangewys

‘n Sterkman van Christiana in Noordwes, Johan Els (38), is onlangs as die wêreld se sesde sterkste man aangewys.

Els het van 28 April tot 1 Mei aan The World’s Strongest Man-kompetisie in Manila in die Filippyne deelgeneem waar hy die sesde plek behaal het.

Die kompetisie gaan nie net oor brute krag nie; deelnemers se stamina, vaardigheid, taktiek, fiksheid en strategie in verskeie dissiplines word ook op die proef gestel.

Buiten die maande waarin Els hom vir die kompetisie voorberei het, het hy in die kompetisie goed klippe gekou.

Deelnemers moes onder meer ’n swaar voorwerp met ’n tou rondsleep, ronde balle wat tussen 100 en 160 kg weeg op hoë voetstukke plaas, vate wat tussen 15 en 24 kg weeg oor ’n muur gooi, aambeelde van ongeveer 130 kg en ankers en kettings wat 300 kg weeg, rondsleep, ysterbalke wat 160 kg weeg soos tasse ronddra, dik bale omkantel en yskaste wat 415 kg weeg oor ’n afstand van 30 m dra.

Asof dit nie genoeg was nie, moe
