Africa Melane talks to Reana Steyn Ombudsman for banking

Last week we discussed the rising threat of banking fraud, with criminals using
your cellphone to get their hands on your money.
With that in mind, we contacted the Banking Ombudsman about this worrying
trend. And it seems more and more of you are enoucntering similar problems. this
reality is perhaps reflected in a tweet from the Ombud on July 17 saying her
office had "handled 842 internet banking complaints in the year to end-June."
Second was ATM banking complaints(612 complaints in 2017 to date). So the
trend is clear: criminals are targeting internet banking, which is often linked to
your phone for your convenience.

It was Mark Twain who once, famously said that the reports of his death were
"exagerrated" after the newspapers of his day falsely reported he had died.
It was a similar situation for 93-year-old Zambian leader Kenneth Kaunda this week.
The nation's former longtime president has been hospitalised in the capital Lusaka,
which fuelled "fake news" reports he had infact passed away.

In fact, Arnold Bengis was even awarded an honorary doctorate by the Ben-Gurion
University in 2003.
Today he is in the headlines for very different reasons.
Bengis – who is currently believed to be living in Israel – has been exposed as the man behind a multi-million dollar poaching trade that stripped this country of already
limited rock lobster resources.
In the last week Dept of Fisheries representatives returned to SA victorious after a US
court ruled Bengis will now have to pay $37.3million (R485m) in restitution because he
had failed to pay an original 2004 restitution order.
Bengis, now 81, was sentenced in the Court for the Southern District of New York for
charges related to a case stemming from his Hout Bay based fishing company’s
poaching, specifically West Coast rock lobster.
Bengis now faces another 57 months in an American federal prison.

Africa Melane talks to Paul Herman News24 political writer

It seems divisions in the ANC in this province run so deep, the party’s top brass are
having to boomerang back to the Mother City for a second consecutive weekend.
Last week the ANC's National Working Committee (NWC) jetted into the Cape to finally heal the rifts their own ranks that has seen the Dullah Omar branch all but collapse. Even last week’s meeting led by the ANC top six was plagued by divisions and adjourned because no working solution could be found.
ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa has confirmed, in reports, that the leadership would
return to the province this weekend for further discussions which would fuel
recommendations for a way forward. And at the heart of these talks is the provincial executive committee's (PEC) decision to disband the Dullah Omar regional leadership.
