Upholding a family legacy in the police service
Colonel Logan Govender, who is seen with his daughter, Tes, retired in 2000. POST reporter, NADIA KHAN, shares the inspiring journey of a retired South African Police Service (SAPS) officer, Colonel Logan Govender, whose dedication and resilience have left an indelible mark on the community and the fight against crime. He is also featured in the University of KwaZulu-Natal's Gandhi-Luthuli Documentation Centre's website gallery entitled, South African Police Indian Veteran. The centre serves as both a living archive and a tribute to the Indian community's legacy in South Africa. Retired Colonel Logan Govender, 71, of Pietermaritzburg, said he was inspired by his father, Mariemuthu, who held the rank of sergeant in the SAPS. 'I wanted to follow my dad's footsteps. In his community, policemen were respected and seen as role-models. I also wanted to protect and serve our communities.' After matriculating at Woodlands High School, Govender pursued his studies at ML Sultan Technical College. 'I qualified as an electrician and secured an apprenticeship with the City of Pietermaritzburg. However, a close friend, who was a police officer, inspired me to quit my job and join the SAPS. He said it was a better career option. I was enlisted by the same friend to the Mountain Rise police station. 'I attended the SAPS Training College in Wentworth, and was nominated as the best shotist (small arm). I also pursue a national diploma in police administration, which I completed over a few years while working,' he said.

Tesla: Weak Quarter, Focus on the Future
Key Points Tesla's quarterly results were down year over year but still came in at or just above Wall Street expectations. The company saw momentum slow in key product areas in Q2 but is rapidly expanding its addressable market by adding robotics and AI. Tesla said its new, more-affordable vehicle remains on track to go into production before the year's end and said the Semi and Cybercab are coming in 2026. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Here's our initial take on Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) fiscal 2025 second-quarter financial report. Key Metrics Metric Q2 2024 Q2 2025 Change vs. Expectations Revenue $25.5 billion $22.5 billion -12% Beat Adjusted EPS $0.52 $0.40 -23% Met Energy generation and storage revenue $3.0 billion $2.8 billion -7% n/a Gross margin 18% 17.2% 80 bp n/a Tesla Looks Toward the Next Big Thing Tesla's quarter came in largely as expected, with revenue and earnings per share down 12% and 23%, respectively, and coming in at or just above analyst expectations. The company attributed the revenue decline to a decrease in deliveries and lower regulatory credit revenue, coupled with a reduction in average selling price. Energy generation and storage revenue also fell due to lower pricing. But the company remains upbeat about its future. Tesla is still primarily an automaker, generating 74% of revenue this quarter from automotive sales. But the focus this quarter was on what is to come, with the company, in its release, calling the just-finished second quarter "a seminal point" in Tesla's history. "The beginning of our transition from leading the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries to also becoming a leader in AI, robotics, and related services," the report noted. The company said it remains on track to expand its vehicle offering, including ramped-up production volumes for a new more affordable model planned for the second half of this year. The company also expects to start volume production of the Semi model and its autonomous Cybercab -- a specially designed vehicle for autonomous rideshare -- in 2026. Immediate Market Reaction Investors came into Tesla earnings with low expectations, with the stock down 17% year to date. So perhaps it is no surprise that the initial reaction was a muted one, with Tesla shares down 1.5% in after-market trading on Wednesday following the release but ahead of the postearnings call. What to Watch Tesla has always been valued more on what is to come than on the present results. But rarely in recent history has there been so little momentum in the core business, and with tax law changes coming, the automotive regulatory credits that have been a key driver of profitability are soon to disappear. With that in mind, expect investors to pay particular attention to CEO Elon Musk's vision for what is to come, and specifics about the timeline for when new products will actually be available for purchase. The initial Robotaxi service launch in Austin, Texas, using standard Tesla models is progressing, and investors will be keen to hear details about future plans. If all goes to plan, a rollout of a new, more affordable vehicle model could spur revenue growth in the quarters to come, and the company's continued advancements in robotics, autonomous driving, and energy should create new pillars for growth.

"He cracked game open..": Stokes on Archer's spell after victory in Third Test against India
London [UK], July 14 (ANI): England Test captain Ben Stokes classified tearaway Jofra Archer's blistering spell in the opening hour as the moment that cracked open the game for them and laid the foundation of 22-run victory on the final day of the third Test at Lord's on Monday. On July 14, 2019, England lifted their maiden ODI World Cup title at the 'Home of Cricket'. Fast forward six years, England felt euphoria after five days of hard work, grit and resilience. On the final day, the equation remained simple: England needed six wickets to cross the line while India stood 135 runs shy of chasing the 193-run target and taking a firm grip on the series. With the ball relatively new, Stokes had Archer and Brydon Carse at his disposal. With KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant occupying the crease, Stokes decided to bowl in tandem with Archer to set the tempo of the day. Archer found his mojo and rhythm to draw first blood. With a searing delivery, he flattened Pant's (9) off stump to open the floodgates. Stokes trapped Rahul (39) in front of the stumps, and Archer rattled India again by luring Washington Sundar to cushion the ball back to him for a four-ball duck. The fiery spell left the beleaguered India tottering at 82/7. The England skipper revealed that it was an instinctive feeling to pick Archer ahead of Carse. For Stokes, the 30-year-old's exploits during England's 2019 World Cup triumph certainly influenced his decision. 'It was an extraordinary finish. It was actually part of the reason I went with Jof and myself this morning, one of those feelings, what is it, 6 years now to the day (2019 WC win). Jof played a major role in that, just had one of those feelings he would do something special, and he cracked the game open with two wickets. It wasn't an easy call; there was a bit of discussion in the dressing room,' Stokes said in the post-match presentation. The dilemma was massive for Stokes, considering Carse had breathed fire in the final session of the fourth day. He nipped the ball sharply back in to remove Karun Nair (14) and India captain Shubman Gill (6). 'Brydon (Carse) had an amazing spell last night, he was charging in and had great rhythm, but it was a gut feeling. Jof's first match back in the Test team, and sometimes your gut works. It is awesome to have him back. When he turns it on and the speeds come up on the screen, the feeling in the game changes. What an amazing job to get through the overs, first time out, tough week, but he got some crucial wickets,' he added. While England's bowling unit sang in harmony, Stokes was the one who consistently struck the right notes. He bowled 44 overs in the Test and scythed five wickets, including three in the second innings. After bearing the massive brunt of finding the breakthroughs, Stokes is looking forward to staying in his bed for the next four days, before the Manchester Test begins next week. 'I thought I had taken myself to some pretty dark places before. But today, bowling to win a Test match for your country.. If that doesn't get you going, then I don't know what does. Bashir, broken hand, going out there and taking responsibility with the bat, then coming out and picking up the last wicket, absolute warrior to do that for the team,' he said. 'It was always going to be the way: two very good teams going at it. We went toe to toe again. I am not going to lie. I cannot wait to lie in my bed for four days and then be raring to go for Manchester,' he added. Despite the odds stacked against India, Ravindra Jadeja (61*) battled with his sheer class and kept the contest alive by stitching up a valuable stand with Jasprit Bumrah. The duo withstood England for 22 overs before Bumrah holed it to Sam Cook. Mohammed Siraj kept India alive with everything he had in his batting arsenal before enduring a heartbreak after getting bowled by Bashir. (ANI)

Najmul Hossain Shanto Resigns As Bangladesh Test Captain Following Sri Lanka Series Defeat Says, Three Captains Not Sensible
Najmul Hossain Shanto has resigned as Bangladesh's Test captain following a 1–0 series loss in Sri Lanka. Announcing his decision during the post-match press conference after the second Test defeat in Colombo (by an innings and 78 runs). Shanto took this decision as he believes three different captain in three formats is not sensible and needs change. Earlier Mehidy Hasan Miraz took over from Najmul Hossain Shanto as the ODI skipper for Bangladesh and it is expected that the Tes vice-captain will take the Test leadership forward after Shanto's decision. Shanto stated, 'I don't want to continue \[as captain] in the Test format anymore.' He emphasized that his choice was made in the interest of the team: 'This is not personal. I have taken the decision for the betterment of the team,' Shanto said. 'I think this will help the team. I … think three captains [for the three international formats] is not sensible.' Regarding the structure of leadership, he added: 'I don't know what the board will feel about this, and I will support their decision. But this is my personal decision. I think three separate captains will be difficult for the team to deal with.' Clarifying his motives, he continued: 'I would want that no one feels this decision is emotional, or that I am disappointed by something. I want to make this clear. This is for the betterment of the team.' Shanto confirmed he had informed the Bangladesh Cricket Board's cricket operations department of his decision 'some days back.' Earlier this month, he had already stepped down as ODI captain, replaced by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Shanto As Captain Shanto led Bangladesh in 14 Tests after being appointed ahead of the home series against New Zealand in November 2023. Under his captaincy, Bangladesh won 4 matches including a historic back-to-back series victory in Pakistan in August 2024 but lost 9, with the first Test in Sri Lanka being the only draw. With the bat, Shanto averaged 36.24 as captain compared to 29.83 in non-captaincy roles, and he averaged 37.16 in the four Tests they won under his leadership. In the Sri Lanka series, he was Bangladesh's top run-scorer, making 300 runs from four innings, ending his captaincy tenure on a personal high despite the team's disappointing 0–1 result. Earlier Shanto called its quits from ODI captaincy too. The first game was a draw between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh
