Statement regarding article published in October 2019 – "Chatsworth man who scammed pensioners disappears"
The Daily News is committed to fair and responsible journalism. Image: File In October 2019, the Daily News published an article titled 'Chatsworth Man Who Scammed Pensioners Disappears.' The article named Mr. Morgan Govender as the individual who allegedly defrauded 21 pensioners in the Malvern area out of over R50,000, and further reported on a judgment obtained against him for the repayment of R150,000 he had allegedly borrowed. At the time of publication, the Daily News undertook its standard editorial checks and endeavoured to comply with the applicable standards of ethical journalism. The story was published in the belief that it served the public interest, particularly in highlighting concerns raised by vulnerable members of the community. However, Mr. Govender, the plaintiff in the matter, has since raised concerns that he was not afforded an adequate opportunity to respond to the allegations before the article was published. As a responsible media institution, the Daily News takes such concerns seriously. We recognise the importance of the right of reply, especially in stories that may impact an individual's reputation or dignity. Video Player is loading.

PSL transfer news: Orlando Pirates set to earn over R150m
Orlando Pirates could potentially earn R150 million from the sales of Mohau Nkota and Relebohile Mofokeng. Both players were instrumental in the Buccaneers' run to the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League. Nkota recently made a high-profile move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq. He is expected to sign a three-year deal that will reportedly see him earn over R12 million annually. Unconfirmed reports indicate that the transfer fee for Nkota is around £1.5 million (R36 million), with additional add-ons that could elevate the total to £2.15 million (R52 million) if certain performance targets are met. Meanwhile, Mofokeng could leave Orlando Pirates for a substantial R120 million, with Dutch giants PSV showing interest in signing the talented young winger in the coming days. 'R100 million is like a round figure. It's more than that! The amount they were negotiating for was initially R120 million. You know it's not exactly what you want that you get, and that's why they are talking about the R100 million, but it's believed to be more than that,' the insider told Soccer Laduma . Should Orlando Pirates successfully sell Mofokeng to PSV, they could very well exceed R150 million in earnings during this transfer period. Both players came up through the club's development system and competed in the DSTV Diski Challenge just three years ago. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

Family posing as customers steal Cartier watch
CCTV footage captured the theft of the watch. Image: Supplied A LUXURY jewellery boutique in Bryanston, Johannesburg, was robbed by a seemingly ordinary family dressed in traditional attire and posing as customers. Thanks to social media, the stolen R150 000 Cartier watch was returned. The female, dressed in an abaya (a full-length outer garment worn by some Muslim women) and a head scarf was caught red-handed on CCTV cameras stealing the Cartier watch. The owners of Love Maison 33 - a family run business - shared the footage on social media. Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ Thirty minutes later, the suspects called the store and said they were 'sorry'. They then sent two minors to return the watch. In the video, which has been circulating on social media, two women are seen seated inside the store, in front of an array of designer watches, picking the ones they liked. A man is seen standing behind them. In a split second, the woman dressed in the black abaya quickly snatched the Cartier watch when the sales assistants turned their backs. The woman concealed the watch in her abaya and then between her legs. The crime went unnoticed by the sales assistant as he continued to have a conversation with them without any suspicion. Zayan Latib, the owner of the store, said she had never experienced a crime like this before. Latib had personally helped these customers. She said they requested to only see watches, which she found odd but kept the thought to herself. 'A family of 5, including a young girl came in posing as customers and asked to see a couple of watches. Based on how they were dressed, I was skeptical but didn't think too deep into it. 'They took their time browsing through the expensive watches that we showed them. One of the women requested the price of a different item. I turned my head for a split second and the same woman grabbed a watch and hid it between her legs.' She said that she had not noticed anything until it was too late and that specific watch was not tagged. 'She stole a Cartier watch valued at R150 000. She had told us she was from Dubai. We only realised what had happened after they left the store, when they began running. They had a getaway driver waiting for them. 'We were robbed by what looked like a quiet, unassuming family, people we never imagined would do something like this. It wasn't a violent crime, which made it even more shocking. I felt blindsided and confused. You don't expect something so calculated from people who seem so ordinary,' said Latib. She said she was shocked when the designer watch was returned. 'Thankfully, the stolen goods was recovered very quickly. We have since made significant improvements to our security to ensure this never happens again.' Yusuf Abramjee, anti-crime activist, had posted the video on social media, which prompted the return of the watch. 'Within 30 minutes of posting the video, the suspects called the store and said they were 'sorry'. They then sent minors to return the expensive watch. 'This syndicate is allegedly involved in a number of similar thefts. They work fast and use distraction and sweet talk, acting as buyers,' said Abramjee. He said people should always be vigilant as one should not always expect everyone to have good intentions as syndicates of similar nature have been on the rise. Latib said no case had been opened against the thieves. THE POST

Springboks and Georgia tickets still available
With only four days left until the Castle Lager Incoming Series test between the Springboks and Georgia, tickets are still on sale, starting at R150. Ticket sales have been good for the Georgia test, having crossed the 72% mark on Monday. Kick-off is at 17:10 on July 19, which will give test-goers the chance to experience one of Mbombela Stadium's signature sunsets, which is always stunning from inside the venue. Tickets are only available online at and are not being sold at the Stadium itself. Ticketmaster is the only accredited seller of the tickets for this test. The fixture will be utilising an improved park-and-ride transport system again this year, which will make use of nine pick-up points. The Government Complex and Valley Hyper are the only non-school-based pick-up points this year. ALSO READ: IN PHOTOS: Wave of green and gold welcomes Springboks back to the Lowveld In Mbombela there are six pick-up points at schools: Curro Mbombela, Hoërskool Nelspruit, Laerskool Nelspruit, Hoërskool Bergvlam and Nelspruit Primary, Lowveld High School, and Laerskool Laeveld. In White River there will be a pick-up point at White River Primary School and Rob Ferreira High School. At all of the school-based pick-up points it will cost R100 to park your vehicle there while you make use of the park-and-ride to and from the stadium. The buses will start running to the stadium at 12:00 and the last buses will depart from the stadium between 21:00 and 21:30 after the match. Buses will depart once full otherwise every 15 to 30 minutes. Other than the parking fee at schools the park-and-ride service is free for all match ticket holders. All the buses follow a circular route to drop off at all points, you will need to make sure you disembark at the correct one. When leaving the stadium ensure that you get on the bus at the same gate you were dropped off at before the game. The Bokke are in fine form, taking on the Georgians off the back of two victories over Italy in the Castle Lager Incoming Series so far. Georgia meanwhile will be hell-bent on revenge, having suffered a tough loss at the hands of the Toyota Cheetahs last weekend.
