Death toll in Eastern Cape floods rises to 86
The death toll in the Eastern Cape floods has risen to 86 with more than 1,000 people displaced. Police minister Senzo Mchunu confirmed the number after he and national police commissioner Gen Fannie Masemola met police officials from the Mthatha area on Saturday. Mchunu commended police for their ongoing efforts as search and rescue efforts and mop-up operations continue in the flood-ravaged province which suffered billions of rand damage to infrastructure. 'Please continue to assist where you are called on as this makes it appear to people that government is lending a hand in their hour of need. Let's ignore the comments that the district municipality opened the sluice gates leading to the disaster.' OR Tambo district municipal officials denied allegations the municipality recklessly opened the sluice gates of the Mthatha Dam, causing flooding and deaths along the Mthatha River. The claims, circulating on social media, suggested the municipality's actions worsened the damage caused by heavy rainfall. However, the municipality has dismissed these claims as mischievous and dangerous misinformation. OR Tambo mayor Mesuli Ngqondwana said: 'In times such as these, misinformation fuels panic, confuses communities and undermines the real work being done to protect and support our people.' Ngqondwana described the allegations as an improbable theory, highlighting the widespread devastation in the district. 'The municipality is working to reinforce water delivery trucks to support affected communities, with a need for more trucks to meet the demand.' This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa, national ministers and provincial government officials led by Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane visited affected areas, including the worst-hit village in Mthatha, Dicolyn, on Friday. H e addressed about 100 displaced residents at the Sinolwazi Senior Secondary School. 'We are not used to losing so many people at one time, that is why I came to see for myself what happened,' Ramaphosa said. He said he had received an extensive briefing from Mabuyane, and praised the response from the three spheres of government in helping the victims and searching for those who were still missing. 'That to me demonstrates the capability of our government in responding to disasters like this. 'As the premier says, it could have been much worse than this. 'Obviously, we are disturbed that so many people passed away but it could have been much worse. He said a day of mourning is being considered to remember those who lost their lives in the catastrophic event It's unclear how many people are still missing. TimesLIVE

National Prosecuting Authority preparing to reinstate charges against Nulane accused
State capture: Ajay Gupta, Atul and Rajesh. (Adrian de Kock/Netwerk24) The 'We are tirelessly working towards that,' said NPA spokesperson Mthunzi Mhaga . On Thursday, the NPA prevailed in the supreme court of appeal (SCA), which found that Judge It said what transpired in the high court could only be summed up as a 'failure of justice'. The SCA ruling came almost two years after Gusha That decision meant that none of them had to take the stand to answer the case put forth by the state. Gusha found that the prosecution had 'regrettably failed to pass even the barest of thresholds' in proving that the accused colluded to defraud the Free State government and ensure some R24 million was funnelled to a United Arab Emirates (UAE) Standard Chartered Bank account linked to the Gupta family. Gupta associate Iqbal Sharma was arrested in 2021, nearly a decade after Free State officials deviated from public finance rules to awarded a contract worth R24.9 million for a feasibility study to his newly-founded Nulane Investments. It pinpointed Paras, an Indian firm linked to the Guptas, as the preferred entity to a dairy project in Vrede in the Free State. This would later become the Estina dairy farm scam in which more than R280 million allegedly flowed to the Gupta family. But Gusha, an acting judge, found that the prosecution was unable to prove that provincial officials broke the law when they gave the contract to Nulane. It meant that the case collapsed at the first hurdle, because without proof that the money was stolen, the state could not sustain the charge of money-laundering in relation to the rapid-fire transfers that followed to companies in the Gupta stable. The SCA agreed with the state that Gusha made a litany of errors in law and fact, resulting in a failure of justice. She had been obliged to consider the totality of evidence, and had failed to do so. 'The inference is inescapable — and the judgment itself shows — that the judge had closed her mind to the evidence adduced by the state. 'This is unfortunate, particularly in a case such as this, where it was prima facie established that scarce public funds were unlawfully extracted from the department and channelled to the UAE, by fraud and the misuse of power.' Hence, the appellate court said, the acquittal of the accused was unfair to the prosecution. The prosecution had relied on the doctrine of common purpose to prove that all accused were part of a conspiracy to defraud the government, as were Atul and Rajesh Gupta. It had planned to add them to the list of accused if they were surrendered to South Africa. The SCA said there was evidence that three Free State officials worked together to ensure Nulane was appointed and paid and, further, that fraud and money-laudering was committed with the cooperation of the rest of the accused, among them Ronica Ragavan, the director of the Gupta family's Islandsite Investment. That was one of the companies in the family's business empire through which the state allegedly the money extracted from the Free State was laundered with 'bewildering rapidity'. There was a real likelihood, the SCA said, that the accused would have incriminated each other, had they been put on the stand. 'The high court misapplied s174 of the CPA [Criminal Prosecution Act]: a court should not discharge an accused who might be incriminated by a co-accused. This was unfair to the state,' the court said. 'The trial in the high court can be summed up in a single sentence: This was a failure of justice.' It added that regrettably this undermined public confidence in the criminal justice system. The SCA ruling provided some comfort for the NPA a week after the Bloemfontein high court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction to try Ace Magashule's former assistant, Moroadi Cholota, for her role in the R225 million Free State asbestos scam case. The court found that her extradition from the United States was unlawful as the NPA had failed to challenge an SCA ruling that only the minister of justice, and not the prosecuting authority, had the power to apply for extradition, in due time. The NPA is seeking to overturn this ruling as well.
