Rapist who struck again after release gets life sentence DE AAR | MARLITA CLAASSENS A man whose rape case was struck off the roll because of outstanding DNA results in 2016, but went on to rape another woman after his release, was sentenced to life in prison by the De Aar regional court recently. Acting police deputy commissioner for crime detection in the Northern Cape, Brig Nicky Mills, welcomed the sentence handed down to Monde Nyeshe for the rapes of the two women. The first rape occurred on December 6 2015. Nyeshe lured the 19-year-old female
victim into his house in Malaykamp, De Aar, where he assaulted and raped her several times. The victim laid a charge and the accused was arrested a few days later. Bail was successfully opposed but the case was struck off the court roll because of outstanding DNA results. On July 17 2016, Nyeshe struck again and raped a 29-year-old female at her boyfriend’s house in Nonzwakazi, De Aar. “He threatened the victim and boyfriend with a knife and raped her in the presence of the boyfriend. He
was arrested a week later by De Aar police,” said police spokesperson Lt-Col Sergio Kock. In November 2016 the cases were combined and the accused remained in custody until his sentencing. On Thursday, 28 July, the court found Nyeshe guilty of the rapes and sentence was passed on Monday, 1 August 2022. media@veldbrandmediasa.co.za

ACCOUNTING
- the career that adds up to personal success AUTHOR | BOSTON CITY CAMPUS International research shows that the accountancy and finance sector is seen as the third most stable profession, behind health/ pharmaceuticals, and teaching. One in four employees aged 16-34 is currently considering a new career as the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic bites. Positions available in the various areas of finance include for bookkeepers, credit controllers, debt collectors and financial managers, as well as assistant accountants and chartered accountants. The basic nature of these kinds of jobs remain the same despite advancing computer systems: manage and carry out the administration of financial transactions that take place in an organisation. Bookkeepers keep record of all the financial transactions that take place in an organisation. Public and municipal services, commerce, industry and educational institutions employ bookkeepers; private and parttime owner – managed practices have also become more popular. Nonhlanhla Dube, Career Consultant at Boston City Campus says that, “Bookkeeping is considered a scarce skill (visit www.fasset.org.za) and therefore is a career that should be considered by those that are numerically and detail oriented, as well as committed to finding secure employment”. She mentions that South Africa has a shortage of people working in Bookkeeping and Accounting positions. These positions are consistently in the top ten scarce skills. Positions exist in corporate and industry, as well as Government and municipalities. The credit controller (see here: https://www.boston.ac.za/boston-
citycampus/qualifications/accounting-programmes/creditcontroller-assistant-bookkeeper/) is responsible for opening new client accounts, managing monthly payments and handling all liaison and administrative duties arising from purchase transactions. With the Boston Diploma in Financial Accounting, career opportunities such as assistant accountant serve as either a job, or a good starting point from which to advance if you are ambitious in your accounting! Opportunities for advancement include financial accountant, financial manager and financial director as you gain more experience and skills. Career opportunities where skills are considered scarce include: Trainee Accountant, Debt Collector, Finance Manager, Management Consultant, Office Administrator, General Accountant, General Clerk, Accounts Clerk and Payroll Clerk. The Boston Higher Certificate in Accounting Practice has you working in an accounts office within one year, and opens doors to further study in the field. The Chartered Accountant (CA) is licensed by the state to audit financial information for public companies for accuracy. CAs can also work for themselves completing taxes or accounting for individuals. To start on this pathway, register for the SAICA approved Boston Bachelor of Accounting. SAICA is the South African institute of Chartered Accountants, responsible for accreditation of accountants and auditors, and providing entrance and approval to sit for the accounting board exam. Accountants and auditors help to
ensure that firms are run efficiently, its public records kept accurately, and its taxes paid properly and on time. They analyse and communicate financial information for various entities such as companies, individual clients, and government. Fundamental accounting day-to-day tasks include: analysing, and verifying financial documents, offer budget analysis, financial and investment planning, information technology consulting, the design of accounting and data-processing systems, and the selection of controls to safeguard assets. What can I study? Still at school and considering subject options? “Try and go for the numerate subjects such as maths, science, accounting and business studies”, says Alida Hattingh of Boston Welkom. “We see many people asking if they have to take these subjects in high school, and honestly, your chance of success in tertiary studies is so much higher if you have the background skills and knowledge from school” she says. Do you want to work in the accounting industry? Alida says that “You need to have an aptitude for maths and or numeracy, be a methodical and organised person, communicate well and be able to be assertive and sensitive at the same time. Maintaining discretion is essential, and you will need to be the kind of person that can integrate information and from that draw conclusions”. “Finance is a recession-proof career,” says Alida. “No business can function, never-mind succeed, without appropriate accounting systems in place, even your own entrepreneurial business!.”

DStv ordered to reinstate axed eMedia TV channels This comes after the competition appeal court has delivered a victory to e.tv parent eMedia Holdings in its fight with MultiChoice Group over the termination of four of eMedia’s channels on DStv. In a judgment handed down on Monday, 1 August 2022, the court – which is a special division of the high court – overturned an earlier decision by the Competition Tribunal that the channels could be removed from MultiChoice’s DStv
bouquets. This is pending the final determination of the complaint, which has been referred by the appeal court to the Competition Commission for further investigation. The appeal court ordered MultiChoice to reinstate the channels that were removed from DStv at the end of May. MultiChoice terminated the channels immediately upon receiving the decision of the tribunal. The channels that were cut and that now must be
reinstated pending the commission’s investigation are eToonz, eMovies, eMovies Extra and e.tv Extra. It’s understood that MultiChoice has also been ordered to pay eMedia’s legal costs for the appeal, including the cost of two counsel. eMedia dragged MultiChoice to the tribunal in April to seek relief after a renewed channel supply agreement between the parties saw DStv opting not to carry the four channels.
