Eskom topbestuur bespreek kragvoorsienaar se geldkrisis in Amerika

Die topleiers van Eskom is tans in Washington D.C. in Amerika om met beleggers en finansiers te praat oor hoe hulle Eskom uit sy huidige verknorsing gaan haal, het Nelisiwe Magubane, nie-uitvoerende direkteur van Eskom, Donderdag gesê.

Magubane het voor die parlement se staande komitee oor toedelings verskoning gemaak dat Jabu Mabuza, voorsitter van Eskom, en Phakamani Hadebe, waarnemende uitvoerende hoof, nie Donderdag hul afspraak met die komitee kon nakom nie.

Calib Cassim, waarnemende finansiële hoof, is ook saam op die uitstappie na Washington D.C. as deel van ’n internasionale toer na finansieringsinstellings en beleggers.

Magubane, voormalige direkteur-generaal van energie, het aan die komitee gesê Eskom is op koers om kontrakte te hersien en korrupsie uit te roei en verwag ’n beter ouditverslag vir die lopende boekjaar. Sy sê ’n permanente uitvoerende hoof behoort binnekort aangekondig te word en ’n permanente finansiële hoof sal

Ndivhuwo Mabaya, woordvoerder van die departement van internasionale verhoudinge en samewerking, sê die afdelding vir konsulêre dienste het bevestig dat die Suid-Afrikaanse sakeman se ma kontak gemaak en aangevoer het dat haar seun in hegtenis geneem is.
“Die Suid-Afrikaanse ambassade in Dubai is nie van die inhegtenisneming bewus nie en is versoek om dit met die plaaslike owerhede te bevestig. Ons wag vir ’n verslag van die ambassade.”

’n Vriend van Van Pletzen het aan News24 bevestig dat die familie op die besonderhede van sy hofverskyning wag.

In die video vra Van Pletzen aan Gupta wanneer hy na Suid-Afrika sal terugkeer.

Groep Britse toeriste by Ermelo,Mpumalanga beroof

’n Groep van sowat tien Britse toeriste is Donderdagaand naby Warburton, ’n dorpie naby Ermelo in Mpumalanga, beroof.

“Dit was so 20:00 toe twee voertuie wat lede van ’n internasionale rolprentmaatskappy vervoer het, langs die hoofweg stilgehou het om hulself te verlig,” sê Athol Stark, die hoofsameroeper van Hoëveld-toerisme in Mpumalanga.

Volgens Stark het ’n voertuig agter hulle stilgehou en die ligte van die motor volsterkte aangeskakel sodat die slagoffers nie die aanvallers kon sien nie.

Vier mans het uit dié motor gespring.

“Hulle het die bestuurder van die een voertuig só hard geslaan dat hy sy bewussyn verloor het. Hulle het toe sy beursie, kontant en sy skootrekenaar gevat.”

Daar was twee jonger kinders wat erg getraumatiseer is deur die voorval.

Die rowers het die voertuigsleutels van albei die voertuie gevat en begin om die ander toeriste te dreig.

“Hulle het alles geroof wat die toeriste by hulle gehad he

Australië Maak ‘n Linksomkeer – versnelde visums aan wit Suid-Afrikaanse boere terugtrek

Die Australiese Eerste Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, het hom aangesluit by Julie Bishopp, sy minister van Buitelandse Sake, en aangekondig dat die Australiese regering Peter Dutton se standpunt oor versnelde visums aan wit Suid-Afrikaanse boere terugtrek.

Turnbull sê dit is teenstrydig met sy regering se immigrasiebeleid.

Die aankondiging is hartlik verwelkom deur Lindiwe Sisulu, Suid-Afrika se buitelandse sake minister, wat sê dat wit boere in die land beslis nie verdruk word nie!

Kanada wil Guptas se vlerke knip

Waar is die Guptas se vliegtuig? Kanada se regeringskredietagentskap vir uitvoere, Export Development Canada (EDC), hoop die straler is nog in Suid-Afrika en dat die hooggeregshof in Johannesburg sal help om die vliegtuig se vlerke te knip.

Phil Taylor, EDC-woordvoerder, het bevestig dat die agentskap hom na die hof gewend het om aansoek te doen dat die vliegtuig gederegistreer word, in wat hy bestempel as “voortgesette regsoptrede”.

Die EDC het glo 80% van die geld voorgeskiet vir die Guptas se aankoop van ’n Bombardier 6000-straler, wat as ZS-OAK geregistreer is.

Gerugte dat die Guptas agterstallig is met die lening van nagenoeg $41 miljoen (sowat R482 miljoen) het reeds in Desember 2016 die ronde gedoen toe Herald berig het dat die lening agterstallig geraak het.

Regsoptrede om die geld of die vliegtuig te verhaal het toe begin.

Verlede Donderdag het die EDC hom uiteindelik na die hooggeregshof in Johannesburg gewend, sê Taylor.

California
South and Central California boast some of the most pleasant temperatures year-round in the world. With a recorded 73% sunshine in places like Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, you might want to try and job-hunt here if you’re looking to replicate South Africa’s sunshiney days.

Finding Expat Schools In New Zealand

Many expat families opt to place their children in one of New Zealand’s excellent public or private schools.

There are more than 20 schools in New Zealand, most in the Auckland area, that offer an International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. Some are private and some are state-sponsored. More than a dozen schools offer the Primary Years Programme, one school offers the Middle Years Programme, and 12 schools offer the Diploma Programme. Scots College in Wellington offers all three IB programmes.

New Zealand schools have a fine international reputation. They are divided into public and private systems. The vast majority of New Zealand children are educated in the public system. Private-school education is generally regarded as superior to public, but there are many exceptions. Places in private schools can be difficult to secure. Expats may send their children to public schools, private schools, or church schools.

Private schools are generally segregated by sex

UK Student Visa – Study in the UK in 2018

As the end of the academic year in South Africa is approaching, the queries on how to qualify for a UK Student visa increase.

Qualifications from British educational institutions are held in high esteem and are highly sought after. As it is relatively easy for young South Africans wanting to study in the UK to adapt culturally and linguistically, it is thus not surprising that there is a large number of South African students in the UK.
