Drugs confiscated during search operations. (Photo: Supplied) Two suspects on the national wanted list were arrested, and drugs worth R510 000 confiscated, during the recent Operation Gijima in the Northern Cape. In this operation simultaneous cross border operations were conducted between the South African Regional Police Chiefs Cooperation Organization (SARPCCO) regions from Wednesday (27/07) until Friday (29/07). This included operations in the Namakwa and ZF Mgcawu Distric. The areas the operations were conducted in were the Vioolsdrift Port of Entry, which is 120 km from Springbok on the N7, and the Nakop Port of Entry, 130 km from Upington on the N10. Col Mashay Gamieldien, police spokesperson, said the theft of motor vehicles, illicit drug trafficking, the illicit trafficking of firearms and ammunition, human trafficking and smuggling, the smuggling of minerals, the theft of copper cables, wildlife related crimes, as well crimes committed during the timeframe of Operation Gijima, were focused on. A total of 65 arrests were effected during this period. The tracing for national and daily wanted suspects resulted in the apprehension and arrest of two suspects on the national wanted list, and 16 on the daily wanted list. They were arrested for various crimes including rape, domestic violence, assault GBH, housebreaking and theft. Ten arrests were also made for possession and dealing in drugs.

Boston City Campus (Boston) is pleased to announce that our Bachelor of Accounting degree is now SAICA accredited (South African Institute of Chartered Accountants). The achievement of this accreditation means that students who complete the Boston Bachelor of Accounting degree and who meet the entry requirements set by institutions offering the SAICA accredited postgraduate qualifications in accounting can seamlessly continue their journey toward the attainment of the CA (SA) designation. “CAs (SA) are seen as responsible leaders who create sustainable value for the organisations that they work in and there are a wide range of employment opportunities open to these professionals. Becoming a chartered accountant requires grit and determination, and students who enter our Bachelor of Accounting degree can be assured that our programme provides a solid foundation from which to embark on the challenging journey toward ultimately earning the sought after CA (SA) designation. SAICA’s strategic intention is to contribute to sustainable economies through developing responsible and ethical leaders. As such, it aims to ensure continued relevance and the growth and transformation of the accountancy profession. Through our Bachelor of Accounting qualification, we are proud to be associated with SAICA and the high standards of professionalism required by this globally recognised Institute” emphasizes Dr. Hendrik Botha, the Head of Institution at Boston City Campus. Says Robert Zwane, SAICA Executive: Learning, Development and National Imperatives: ‘In its role in promoting quality assurance in accounting education, and in terms of its current recognition and standing with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA), one of SAICA’s key roles is to accredit programmes which allows students access to SAICA’s first professional examination, the Initial Test of Competence (ITC). ‘For programmes to be accredited by SAICA, higher education providers undergo a rigorous and extensive process to ensure that their programme has the necessary resources in place to deliver a high quality programme leading to a CA(SA) qualification. These quality assurance processes are undertaken over and above the formal regulatory accreditation requirements of the DHET, CHE and SAQA which need to be in place before getting the SAICA stamp of approval. Having undergone the formal accreditation process, we are confident that the Boston degree is backed by the necessary resources to meet the standards set by SAICA.’ Boston is the first private provider of distance education to receive SAICA accreditation for the undergraduate degree. Additionally, Boston is accredited locally and internationally for our higher education programmes, and have a longstanding reputation of excellence as a private higher education institution specialising in online and distance education. At Boston, we understand what is needed to put the student front and centre in the learning process. We appreciate the additional support that an online learner may require, and we have invested in human capital and technological infrastructure to ensure that no candidate is left behind. Offering the SAICA accredited Bachelor of Accounting qualification in the distance mode means that we’ve eliminated many obstacles preventing access to higher education like the cost of travel and relocation to a physical campus or having to forego the opportunity cost of full or part time employment. Additionally, Boston offers a competitive fee structure and payment plans that include all required textbooks for the duration of the degree. Boston’s commitment to widening access to a diverse group of students who do not qualify for direct entry into the Bachelor of Accounting is seen in its alternative entry routes. Alternative routes include entry through recognition of prior learning and various relevant higher certificates, diplomas, and occupational qualifications. The accreditation by SAICA demonstrates our commitment to back our students in a challenging and competitive world where success is hard earned and aligns with our quality approach to higher education. That approach focuses on transformative learning and emphasises the potential of each student, ensuring we support work ready employable graduates. Boston is able to extend access to its Bachelor of Accounting in a number of ways. Each application will be considered on its own merit. To find out more visit www.boston.ac.za for more information and to apply online.

“Leave a andLegacy Become an Organ Donor”
“Leave a Legacy and Become an Organ Donor” In South Africa, August celebrates Women’s Month. It is also the National Organ Donor Awareness Month. The Organ Donor Foundation (ODF) is set on bringing awareness around organ donation. The ODF is a non profitable and public benefit organisation. Striving to promote Organ and Tissue Donation in South Africa. The aim is to raise public awareness of the critical shortage of organ donation in our country. The Mission of the Organ Donor Foundation is to educate South Africans on organ donation as well as to encourage them to become donors. To eliminate fears, negativity, misconceptions, inaccurate information that prevents one from becoming an organ and tissue donor. Organ Donation in South Africa is misconceived; hence the conversation and action are avoided amongst many. Organ Donation has saved many lives, globally. For some, an organ transplant is their only hope to continue living. There is a dire shortage of available organs. With so many people awaiting life saving transplants, the ODF urges more people to register as organ donors. The sad reality is the need for lifesaving organ transplants is increasing much faster than the organs are becoming available. By becoming an organ and tissue donor, a person has the potential to save up to 50 lives when they die. One often wonders, can one donate organs while alive and the answer is yes because one can donate either a kidney or a part of their liver while they are alive. This will make the donor a living donor. The recipient and the donor will have to be the same blood group and tissue match. However, this is a personal choice. It is encouraged that people consider donating their organs when they die. This way, when your life comes to an end, you can help others to continue living theirs. Becoming a donor is easy. Anyone is eligible to become an organ and tissue donor. All medical tests are done to see if you are eligible to be a donor are done at the time of your death. There is no age limit. Being an organ/tissue donor is a selfless act of kindness. Donations cost absolutely nothing, no financial compensation is received by the donor or their family. Trading or selling of organs and tissue is illegal. Here is how you can become an organ donor: Firstly, register online at www.odf.org.za or call the Organ Donor Foundation’s on toll free number 0800 22 66 11. It’s important to inform your family and make it known to them to honour your wishes. The most important part of organ and tissue donation is that you undertake to make it known: Ensure you have the conversation with your family, colleagues and your friends. The only way we can save those on the waiting list is to raise awareness.

• Now make the slaw. Brush the cobs of corn lightly with oil and cook them under a hot grill or in a frying pan until they are tender and lightly charred all over. Cut the kernels off the cobs and place them in a bowl. Add the cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise and lemon juice, and mix well.

Lemon water is rich in sugars, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Drinking some lemon water every day can supplement the nutrients the body needs New research also found that drinking lemon water can prevent the formation of kidney stones, which is very beneficial to kidney health. After the minerals in the urine crystallize and accumulate inside the kidneys, kidney stones can occur. Lemon water contains a lot of citric acid, which can inhibit mineral crystallization, thereby reducing the incidence of kidney Instones.addition, lemon water is rich in vitamin C, 100 grams of lemon juice contains about 39 mg of vitamin C.

| Veldbrand |LOCAL. USEFUL. DIGITAL COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER 6 was founded in 1958 and it has produced vehicles for private and commercial uses (including buses)? It’s one of the top 5 automobile manufacturing groups in China and has joint venture agreements and shared factories with Mercedes Benz and Hyundai Interestingly, BAIC is a state owned company, with Beijing Municipality Government holding the reins Within the South African context, BAIC has been assembling D20 hatchback and sedans and X25 crossovers from semi knocked down (SKD) kits in Gqeberha since July 2018 SKD means the parts are all pre manufactured (in China) and then the vehicles’ final assembly takes place in South Africa BAIC’s Eastern Cape production facility is said to have a claimed annual capacity of 50 000 vehicles Meanwhile, BAIC also has considerable off road vehicle experience the company has, inter alia, engineered its own military off roader In the most recent instalment of the gruelling Dakar Rally, BAIC fielded 3 entries, which completed the event in 13th, 14th, and 15th places overall The B40 Plus adds an off roader component to BAIC’s local line up; an updated model and bigger B80 are due in 2022
What’s on offer? While BAIC describes the newcomer’s styling as “bold and unapologetic”, there’s no denying the B40 Plus takes a lot of inspiration from the Jeep Wrangler, right down to the detachable roof mechanism It may not have the trademark Jeep grille or round headlights, but judging by some social media reaction to the new BAIC, the Chinese and American models “could have been separated at birth” Let’s not even talk about the B80 which bears a striking resemblance to the ‘Benz G Class Perhaps the joint venture between BAIC and its Stuttgart based partner allows for some sharing of design elements? There are two engines on offer A 2 0 litre turbo petrol engine punches out 160 kW/320 Nm and is paired with a 6 speed automatic, while the 2 0 litre turbodiesel produces peak outputs of 110 kW and 350 Nm of torque in combination with a 6 speed manual gearbox The newcomer’s off road credentials are decent on paper, with a ground clearance of 210 mm, an approach angle of 37 degrees, a departure angle of 31 degrees and a break over angle of 23 degrees BAIC claims its B40 Plus has been put through the wringer; the model has undergone in excess of 7 500 km of off road testing, the firm says The cabin architecture looks upmarket at first glance and, upon closer inspection, instantly familiar Based on what we can see, the Mercedes Benz/BAIC joint venture makes allowances for components of the Three pointed Star to be implemented directly in the Chinese product The start button appears to have been lifted from the E Class, while the air vents look sourced from Benz’s compact car range There are 5 derivatives on offer in 3 levels of trim: B40 Plus, B40 Plus City Hunter, B40 Plus Champion At this price point, the list of standard features is acceptable and the mid spec City Hunter seems to offer the best value for money in the range There are some fun colour choices too; the Military Green and Sky Blue hues are especially likely to grab people’s attention! What is it like to drive? Our choice of vehicle was the BAIC B40 Plus City Hunter (petrol automatic) Having experienced the technical layout of the ADA before in a Suzuki Jimny we were not keen to have to deal with the additional complexity of low range driving with a manual ‘box! Good thing we opted for the petrol auto, as some of our peers suggested the diesel engine suffered from a touch of turbo lag That petrol engine is impressive and, during our very short on road assessment (about 20 km), it felt eager and responsive The transmission shifted smoothly too, but we noted the instant fuel consumption numbers fluctuated wildly depending on throttle application, with numbers popping into the late teens on 75% throttle applications Will the B40 Plus suffer the same ailment as some of the Chinese vehicles in our market in that it’s notably thirstier than its European counterparts? Perhaps, but given Chinese brands’ rapid progress, they’ll soon use powertrains that will rival the best legacy brands can produce As far as ride and handling go, again, our on road evaluation was very brief, but by virtue of being underpinned by a ladder frame chassis, the B40 Plus cannot be expected to deliver the same levels of composure and refinement as off road capable unibody products such as the Subaru Forester Still, the BAIC should be much more capable when the tarmac ends As the Toyota Fortuner and other bakkie based SUVs have shown, a ladder frame is what you want for serious off roading capability The cabin was reasonably damped, but the chunky off road tyres generated quite a bit of road noise Off road, the BAIC B40 Plus performed acceptably We couldn’t see a button for a differential lock and assumed the vehicle didn’t come with it, but the spec sheets suggest the vehicle has this feature and it’ll come into play automatically We had a few moments where the BAIC got stuck with one wheel spinning in the air, only to free itself with a lurch as the car’s electronics shuffled the power about and the diff lock engaged The ground clearance, fair approach/departure angles and 4H will keep you going in most tricky situations, while 4L should keep the B40 Plus moving in treacherous sand and Impressively,mud we also had a go in the pre production homologation unit that had tallied up over 10 000 km across the Republic on a variety of surfaces; it still felt solid with minimal rattles and squeaks How much does the new BAIC B40 Plus cost in South Africa? The new BAIC B40 Plus range starts from R549 500 and goes up to R629 500 for the top of the range derivative The newcomer is sold with a 5 year/120 000 km warranty and the brand says “competitive service plan options are available ” Service intervals are 15 000 km/12 months for both the turbo petrol and diesel derivatives Verdict Our first taste of the BAIC B40 Plus was brief, but consider our interest piqued With the prices of other off roaders reaching astronomical heights (Jeep Wranglers start at R750k these days), the Chinese newcomer appears to offer strong value and is more off road capable than you might think The cabin is modern and has some nice looking fittings, but we do wish there was some form of connectivity like Apple Car Play/Android Auto on offer There’ll be a slightly facelifted version touching down in 2022 and that will likely come with a few more features, as well as an 8 speed automatic transmission
