Trading Hrs : Mon-Sat 8am to 6.30pm Sunday 10am to 5pm RENEWAL: ANC KZN leader and Premier Sihle Zikalala is seen addressing the event in Thembeni, on Monday evening.

By Xpress Reporter

A

NC KwaZulu-Natal chairperson Sihle Zikalala, who is also the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, visited KwaDukuza on Monday night to launch the party's latest attempt at rebuilding and renewal, ,dubbed ANCKZN Regional Monday Forum. The event took place at Mbekamuzi Community Hall in Thembeni.

Zikalala was accompanied by ANC PEC members Bheki Sibiya and Kwazi Mshengu, who is also the KZN MEC for Education. They were joined by the party's regional leadership led by regional chairperson Vusi Mthethwa, deputy regional chairperson Bheka Dlamini, regional secretary Siphesihle Zulu and deputy regional secretary Matozi KhuzwayoDlamini.

Delivering the keynote address, Zikalala emphasized that the Monday Forum sessions, which serve as an open platform for ANC members,

supporters and members of the public to engage on a variety of public interest issues, were intended in the main to re-inculcate in the party members a desire to serve society. He called on ANC members to be more concerned about service delivery than in their own personal interests.

“When ANC was formed, it was formed by the clergy. They formed

ANC with a view to unite the people of South Africa. It's important for us to keep in mind that the ANC has a task to unite the people. If the ANC exists here in Thembeni, its immediate task is to mobilize the people of Thembeni to come together and fight all social ills as a united force.

Successful anti-crime operations in KwaDukuza

CRACKDOWN: Various law enforcement agencies came together to embark on a multi-disciplinary crime combatting operation

By Xpress Reporter

The multi-disciplinary operation was also designed to execute arrest warrants and rid KwaDukuza streets of crime.

The operation involved KDM Saturation, KDM Special Operations Unit, KDM Traffic Warrant Section, SAPS KwaDukuza, EDP Law Enforcement, KwaDukuza C r i m e Intelligence, Date: KwaDukuza CPF, Sunday, 10 April 2022 Hawks Security, Venue: K9 Security and Shree Hanuman Temple Taurus Security.

The era of some scrap metal dealers in and around KwaDukuza flirting with illegal practices is nearing an end. This comes after law enforcement agencies embarked on an operation on Thursday last week to “clean up” the local scar metal industry.

the operation sought to identify issues of noncompliance within her industry and rooting out general lawlessness.

“The industry contributes to the high crime rate as some dealers simply refuse to comply with the law. Some dealers encourage theft and related crimes, so it's important for law enforcement to strictly police the industry.

“Those who are found to be noncompliant will be dealt with no the spot. Hopefully this operation will result in reduced crime levels in and around KwaDukuza,” Naidoo stated.

Superintendent Marius Prinsloo of KDM Crime Prevention said, “The operation will also focus on high visibility of law enforcement and any acts of criminality that will be picked up along the way will be dealt with,” Naidoo stated.

KDM spends R8 million on printing paper

By Xpress Reporter

K w a D u k u z a Municipality's Council Speaker Cllr Dolly Govender

has serious reservations about the amount of money spent by the municipality on printing paper alone, in the CONCERNED: KwaDukuza Municipality's Council Speaker Dolly Govender

past financial year.

Speaking at the municipality's full council meeting at the Town Hall last Thursday, Cllr Govender described as scandalous that the municipality had incurred costs well in excess of R8 million on printing paper alone, excluding ink cartridges. It's understood the bulk of hardcopy printing done by the municipality relates to the printing of Council agendas for distribution among councillors. “Obviously in terms of cost containment we are not doing very well if we spend so much on paper alone,” Govender said.

Govender urged Council to ponder measures that can be implemented to reduce printing costs.

The acting municipal manager Nhlanhla Mdakane concurred with the Speaker, and suggested consideration of electronic distribution of Council agendas. Mdakane agreed that R million was a lot of money to spend on paper instead of programmes to better the lives of he people.

However this idea was quickly shot down by the ruling party, on grounds that the electronic gadgets supplied to councillors were not user-friendly and would impede the councillors' full engagement with the agenda.

Speaker Govender did not open the debate on this issue as there is a standing Council resolution regarding the distribution of Council agendas.

Census field workers attacked by dogs KwaDukuza Mayor Lindile Nhaca has expressed shock and dismay after a Glenhills family allegedly set dogs on census field workers, last week. The dogs, identified as pit bulls, rushed at the female enumerators after a member of the household allegedly purposely opened the gate to incite the dogs against the workers.

“I wish to express my disappointment and dismay over (this) incident. This could be one of the most senseless and gross violations of the municipal bylaws. This once again highlights the plight and hard conditions that these foot soldiers bear with in their line of duty,” Nhaca said.

The alleged incident took place on Pisces Road where field workers were attempting to get the

attention of members of the household for an interview.

In receiving such attention, a member of the household decided to open their gate and the dogs broke out of control and then rushed to the women. As the women fled, one of them sustained injuries and was rushed to Glenhills Clinic for medical attention.

“This calls on us to act even more aggressively in our public education campaigns in sending a message about the 2022 Census and about municipal bylaws,” said Nhaca.

Statistics South Africa is rolling out the 2022 Census population count and as part of this exercise, field workers are mandated to undertake door-to-door visits and conduct interviews with citizens to ensure that everyone gets counted.

DA unhappy with proposed tariff increases

The Democratic Alliance in Ilembe District Council is unhappy with the proposed water and sewer tariff increases.

DA Caucus Leader Krsna Sing said while the proposed tariff increases are in line

with inflation, any fork of increase will adversely affect consumers.

“Draft budget of R 1.5 billion with tariff increase for water is 4% and sewer is 4% will be passed by ilembe municipality towards the end of May 2022. It is now open for public and stakeholders concerns and comments before the budget and tariff increase is adopted and implemented on the 1 July 2022.

“The DA encourages the community to engage and participate at ward and regional levels.

While CPI (Consumer Price Index) is around 4%, any form of increase will affect consumers already facing difficult conditions with low economic growth, high unemployment around 35% and Covid 19 which took its toll in the last two years.

“While indigent policies are in place to assist the poor with lifeline supply of services there are many rich and wealthy

consumers not contributing to the revenue base of the municipality. We cannot have double standards and this area that needs immediate attention and intervention,” stated Cllr Sing.

Sing added that the municipality's revenue base, based on its collection rate, was simply not enough to cover demand.

“The DA calls on the community of iLembe to oppose the increase especially taking into account last year consumers paid for sewer on the new valuation without any relief.

The DA further calls on council to put relief measures for all e.g. first R100 000 no tariff charges while exploring to help the old and retired who live of social grant or pension funds.

Consideration should be given to 60 years and over in this budget “Public participation is the cornerstone of our democracy at all levels let's exercise our right and voice out our concerns and council should listen. If public participation is merely a tick box exercise and rubber stamp then it defeats the entire process,” he said.

Two suspects nabbed after shootout with police

Frustration mounts as iLembe “bungles again” “We are deprived of a basic right”, Cllr Pooran

By Xpress Reporter

REPAIRS: Ilembe workers seen working on the troublesome water pipe in Glenhills

The inability of iLembe District Municipality to provide uninterrupted water supply to residents has had the residents of Glenhills and surrounding areas seeing red. This comes after the affected areas had to go four days without water supply, after iLembe technicians apparently had difficulty fixing a burst pipe on the mainline.

The DA proportional representative (PR) councillor for the area, Rishi Pooran has described the situation as a clear indication that iLembe is simply unable to render services.

Cllr Pooran says he contacted every official he could think of at iLembe, without getting nay joy.

“The issue here is service delivery.

They are just not doing it,” he said tersely.

Pooran technicians attended to the burst main pipe on Tuesday morning and carried out repairs. He said after repairs were done, the switch on was further affected by faulty valves, which necessitated further stoppage.

“They switched off again to repair the valves. That evening, the

same pipe burst again in another location. This time the water flowed onto somebody's property.

This morning (Friday) the same pipe got leaking again,” Pooran stated.

He said over the entire period, the municipality only sent one water tanker to the area on Thursday morning, and then another on Friday morning. However residents said the tankers were not helpful as there had been no notice of their arrival which caused many people to miss their opportunity to fetch some water.

The affected areas include Townview, Glenhills, Murugan Road, Lot 14, Steve Biko, Top Shop, Happy Valley, Shayamoya and Nyoniyamanzi.

“Four days is a long time. Water is a basic right, entrenched in the Constitution. I feel we are being deprived of this right. The problem is that there is no managerial oversight. There has been two new mayors that have come in (at iLembe), but unfortunately the municipality is following the same pattern,” Pooran said, in an apparent reference to the two previous mayors.

More water tankers were sent to the affected areas over the weekend, while water was being gradually restored.

T w o suspects h a v e b e e n arrested a f t e r police foiled an attempted business robbery at a shopping complex in Nsuze, in iLembe District.

KwaZulu-Natal police sp, and Nsuze SAPS, assisted by the SAPS National Intervention Unit spotted a group of armed men as they arrived at the shopping mall, on Monday morning.

“Today at 09:50, a group of heavily armed men were spotted after they arrived in two vehicles.

The men entered the shopping centre and a shoot-out ensued.

During the shoot-out, one of the suspects was fatally wounded and another suspect (35) was wounded.

Police further arrested a 58-yearold suspect who was found in possession of a revolver with ammunition. The deceased suspect, believed to be in his thirties, was found in possession of a pistol with ammunition,” stated Gwala.

Charges of attempted robbery, attempted murder, inquest as well as unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition have been opened for investigation.

Concerns about new health regulations reduce the burden of disease, to raise the expectancy of South Africans to at least 70 years, to ensure that the generation of under 20's is largely free of HIV and to achieve infant mortality of less than 20 deaths per 1000 live births and an under 5 mortality rate of less than 5 per 1000.

The Democratic Alliance is opposing new health regulations that could make the state of disaster permanent, force you to have compulsory medical examinations and treatment for certain diseases as well as force you to have the covid vaccine.

The Democratic Alliance believes that a caring government must ensure that accessible, affordable high quality health care is available to every South African.

Sect (1) and (3) of the South African Constitution.

The Democratic Alliance stands for universal access to health care for all citizens. The key to this over the next 5 years is not big policy developments but making the current regional management model work.

Better health management is most meaningful to the most poor and marginalized, who are not covered by medical aids and lack the resources to access private health care.

“The Open Opportunity Society for Al”" their free access to health care needs to be ensured.

Health is not just a medical issue.

The social determinants of health need to be addressed, including providing healthy behaviours and lifestyle.

Kathleen Naidoo Chairperson Ilembe Constituency

In a council meeting on 31st of March 2022, the ANC lost a vote to the opposition for the first time.

In a vote to continue with the proceedings in electing a chairperson the MPAC committee, opposition parties received 28 votes, while the ANC got 27.

There was a quorum for the meeting, as the draft budget and annual report were tabled as is required by legislation.

After losing this vote, the acting municipal manager and the ANC councillors began clutching at straws and providing fanciful interpretations of legislation as to why the voting was not correct.

The municipal liaison for the IEC presided over the voting, and in our view, the vote was transparent and fair. The ANC has behaved in a completely undemocratic manner.

They cannot accept defeat and must then try any which way to manipulate outcomes.

This behaviour is more likely found on the playground and cannot be tolerated in a council sitting. The writing is on the wall.

There is hope for South Africa to get out from under the oppressive rule of the flailing ANC. TAMMY COLLEY DA Caucus Leader KwaDukuza Municipality

Cllr Pooran, a shining example

The past weekend was the toughest for us, as residents of wards 19, 13 and parts of ward 16.

A burst mainline pipe and many cognate problems saw us spending a dry weekend as incessant water stoppages had us clamouring for help from elected officials.

Amidst all the gloom, Cllr Rishi Pooran and Ward 13 emerged as a shining example of what selfless leadership should be like. Cllr Pooran was the only true public servant as he was on standby to attend to all of our complaints.

Unfailingly, he came through when many public representatives chose to bury their heads in the sand.

As a resident of Townview, I feel humbled to have been assisted by a councillor from Ward 13, who is not even a ward councillor at that.

It is my sincere wish to see all elected public representatives taking a leaf out of Rishi Pooran's book, going forward.

Well done to you, Sir. Together we can do more.

Dangerous weapons recovered in CBD operations

Government encouraged by development in iLembe District

ENCOURAGED: Pictured (L to R) is iLembe District Mayor Thobani Shandu, Premier Sihle Zikalala and Maphumulo Mayor Siboniso Nyatikazi

RECOVERED: Random stop and search operations in KwaDukuza CBD by KDM Saturation Unit resulted in the recovery of dangerous weapons (pictured).

The KwaZulu-Natal provincial government is encouraged by progress and developments within iLembe District. This follows a visit to the District last week by Premier Sihle Zikalala and his entire provincial cabinet.

Premier Zikalala visited the exciting R100 million Mvutshana Water Treatments Works and Reservoirs which, by providing water, has significantly changed the lives of the rural people of KwaMaphumulo.

The plant is to be upgraded with a further R276 million which will increase by 100% its current six mega litres (6mega litres) to about 12mega litres. Members of

the Executive Council also interacted with people in various wards and addressed specific community issues.

All challenges identified during Operation Sukuma Sakhe will be responded to through the ward-based war rooms which are located in communities and respond to daily issues affecting the community.

During the interaction today provincial government listened carefully while taking note as members of the community raised issues related to housing, electricity, access roads and other concerns which government committed to respond to urgently.

Among the key strategic projects to be delivered in

iLembe District especially KwaMaphumulo and Ndwedwe are: uMshwathi Bulk Water Supply Phase 4 to the tune R700 million; uMshwathi Bulk Supply Phase 5 to cost R200milllion; uMshwathi Bulk Phase 6 which will cost R300million.

These projects will be delivered in phases and will breathe life to the provincial priorities as announced by the Premier Zikalala during the State of the Province Address identifying water provision as a key priority in KwaZulu-Natal.

It is expected that through these projects the water woes of the people of Maphumulo and Ndwedwe will be a thing of the past.

We’ve got you covered!

Repairs underway after fire destroys waterworks

Repairs of the Sundumbili Waterworks in Mandeni are expected to be completed this Friday, 08 April 2022 following the fire that broke out on Sunday due to a burst transformer at the plant.

ILembe District Municipality Operations Manager for the Mandeni areas, Xolelwa Mazibuko says cleaning of the site commenced after insurance assessors completed assessments.

“The district municipality appointed an electrical contractor, who is currently on site and they have commenced with the repairs. It is estimated that repairs may be complete in 3 days from today.

Eskom has also appointed a contractor to start with the replacement of the new transformer,” she said.

Water levels are unfortunately dropping at the command reservoirs and some households have started experiencing low pressure while

others have no water.

“Water tankers have been dispersed to provide water for basic use. It must however be noted that the turnaround time of tankers is currently longer as they travel to Maphumulo and eTete in KwaDukuza to fetch water,” said Mazibuko.

It is estimated that repairs may be complete and tested this Friday but this does not mean immediate availability of water.

“This would instead mean the commencement of the treatment process at the Sundumbili water works, the filling of command and distribution reservoirs. It would take much longer for the system to recover and longer for all households to get water. We just have to get through the actual repairs for now,” she said.

The cause of the fire has not been established at this stage.

Operation Sukuma Sakhe oversight visit to iLembe District

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Sihle Zikalala has demanded answers and accountability from responsible officials and community leaders following the discovery of a fresh produce tunnel that is incomplete after an investment of about R8 million.

As part of Operation Sukuma Sakhe, Zikalala led his entire executive as they crisscrossed all wards in Maphumulo Local Municipality in Ilembe District, visiting various projects and interacting with communities about the impact of government's interventions.

During the Operation Sukuma Sakhe oversight visit the Premier came across an abandoned fresh produce tunnel project which was launched in 2020 to the tune of R7, 5 million.

The project was led by local cooperatives and supported by government who assisted with infrastructure but also mentorship and potential markets such as schools, hospitals and local enterprises.

The project is strategically located not too far from the Dube Trade Port for ease of exporting to international markets but appears to have turned into a white elephant of wasted precious government

Premier livid over abandoned project in Maphumulo investment.

It is believed the project collapsed due to internal squabbles over its ownership and control, leading to the multimillion Rand investment being washed down the drain.

Premier Zikalala expressed concern that the project amounts to wasteful expenditure, and is testament to poor management and an absolute lack of accountability.

“This was a project of dreams, prosperity and economic transformation.

Sadly today it lies idle as a burial ground of the dreams of the community.

“We want projects like this to unlock opportunities and lead to economic transformation as part of the next phase of our struggle for economic liberation. We therefore frown at what we are seeing here as it amounts to an assault on radical socioeconomic transformation,” said Premier Zikalala.

“Government has done all on its part to provide support, however local internal ructions among beneficiaries have landed us here. It is correct that through OSS we

are an activist government that does not receive reports in offices. We go to the ground, crossing rivers and mountains to assess the living conditions of communities and examine if government projects are making an impact in changing people's lives,” remarked the Premier.

The Premier further warned: “We are not going to throw the baby with the bath water; we have tasked the iLembe Enterprise, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Municipality to provide a comprehensive report and a turnaround (strategy) because the project must still deliver on the opportunities and unleash the economic dreams of the rural people of eMambedwini i n W a r d 9 o f KwaMaphumulo,” the Premier said.

OSS is an outreach programme aiming to fast track service delivery by promoting participatory democracy with communities having a direct opportunity to address government as citizens and beneficiaries of government programmes.

International Day of Sport for Development and Peace The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP), which takes place annually on 6 April, presents an opportunity to recognize the positive role sport and physical activity play in communities and in people's lives across the globe.

Sport has the power to change the world; it is a fundamental right and a powerful tool to strengthen social ties and promote sustainable development and peace, as well as solidarity and respect for all.

In recognition of sport's broad influence, the global theme of IDSDP 2022 is, “Securing a Sustainable and Peaceful Future for All: The Contribution of Sport,” which creates an opportunity for the Day's celebrations to promote the use of sport as a tool to advance human rights and sustainable development. Under this theme, UN Headquarters in New York will recognize the role of sport in addressing the climate crisis and will highlight actions to lower greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate against climate change.

Sport is in a unique position to display leadership, to take responsibility for its carbon footprint, engage in a climate neutral journey, incentivize action beyond the sporting sector, and play a major role in amplifying awareness among its billions of spectators, facilitators and

participants at all levels. With the need for urgent action growing dire every day, the relationship between sport and climate must be better understood and ways of developing policies and taking concrete action to help reverse the impact of climate change through sport must be communicated to as wide an audience as possible.

Today, our world faces generational challenges, from poverty and hunger, to climate change to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than ever, we need to overcome our differences and unite as one team working together to tackle these obstacles and create a safer, more peaceful, and more sustainable future for all.

Due to its vast reach, unparalleled popularity and foundation of positive values, sport is ideally positioned to contribute towards the United Nations' objectives for development and peace.

To raise awareness of this potential, 6 April was declared as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP) by the UN General Assembly. The adoption of this Day signifies the increasing recognition by the UN of the positive influence that sport can have on the advancement of human rights, and social and economic development.

Stats SA commences Census 2022 mop-up phase

Statistics South Africa announced that the census mop-up phase has commenced from 24 March until 14 April 2022. During the mop-up phase, fieldworkers will visit all incomplete enumeration areas to count all households that were not counted during the first phase of data collection.

Provinces are in the process of completing their plans to enumerate the outstanding households in the shortest time possible. Fieldworkers will go out in groups to enumerate areas that have been identified as unsafe.

Gatekeepers (members of the body corporate, farm owners, etc.) for communities living in estates, farms and other settlement types where access to individual households is strictly managed can, with the assistance of the fieldworker assigned to their area, arrange to receive a questionnaire completion link which will enable all households in their community to c o m p l e t e t h e questionnaire online.

Once the link has been received, it is the responsibility of the gatekeeper to distribute the link to the households, who must then complete the questionnaire online.

Participation in the census is mandatory under the Statistics Act (Act 6 of 1999).

SA's latest Covid-19 stats

Despite government doing away with the State of National Disaster, South Africa still records a significant number of new Covid-19 cases daily.

In the latest reporting cycle, v 685 new cases were confirmed, with two deaths being reported.

The total number of tests conducted was 12 697, with the test positivity rate standing at 5.4%.

The current number of active cases is 11 506.

not been counted are advised to wait to be contacted by a fieldworker.

Households who have not registered before and wish to opt for online completion can only register with the assistance of a fieldworker.

Online registration will not reopen.

Approximately 60% of the current fieldworkers will be given new contracts at the same rate of pay as was previously the case.

Households who registered for online questionnaire completion before but failed to complete the questionnaire within the allocated time will be re-sent the questionnaire

completion link. Households are requested to please adhere to the communicated timelines for questionnaire completion.

The main phase of data collection for Census 2022 came to an end on Sunday 20 March 2022. Just more than 12 million households, from an estimated 17.4 million households, have been counted.

“We appeal to everyone who has not been counted to use this opportunity to exercise their civic duty to participate in the census,” said the Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke.

Missing Stevan Moodley reunited with family

FOUND: Shakaskraal's Stevan Moodley who was found after missing for days

An ordeal has ended for the Moodley family of Shakaskraal, after Stevan Moodley, who went missing on Monday last week, was located.

Reaction Unit South Africa reported last week that Stevan Moodley (64), a former municipal employee, had disappeared after boarding a taxi with an intent to go and withdraw money from a local bank. His family started getting concerned when he failed to return.

Further investigations showed that Moodley had not withdrawn the money as intended; his cellphone was also switched off.

After days of agony, the family located Moodley at Addington Hospital in Durban, on Thursday. He was brought.

No further details were given about his condition.

Transport Minister Fikile last week extended the renewal period for expired drivers licence cards by another two weeks, to the 15th of April 2022. This comes as an estimated 1 million motorists were facing the risk of driving without valid licence cards due to ongoing backlogs caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mbalula urged motorists to make use of this extension

period.

“After consultation with MECs and SALGA, we have decided to extend the grace period of the validity of driving licences that expired between 26 March 2020 and 31 August 2021 to 15 April 2022.

“We urge all those who have yet to renew their driving licences not to delay any further and take advantage of the additional

capacity we have provided and the online services.

Those who apply for renewal of their driving licence cards before the expiry date are permitted to use the expired card for a period of 3 months, provided that they have in their possession the expired card and the receipt in the vehicle at all times. This is a provision that is contained in our National Road Traffic Regulations,” Mbalula said.

Rampant Spurs go fourth

AT JACKSON’S INDUSTRIAL PARK 1. Factory 1 - 1800 square meters (can be divided into 3) 2. Factory 2 - 600 square meters With 24 hour security

Tottenham powered into fourth place in the Premier League with a 5-1 rout of Newcastle, while West Ham's 2-1 victory pushed Everton deeper into relegation trouble on Sunday.

Antonio Conte's side staged a stirring comeback to make it five wins from their last six league games.

Newcastle struck first through Fabian Schar, but Ben Davies equalised before the break in north London.

Matt Doherty, Son Heung-min, Emerson Royal and Steven Bergwijn netted after half-time as Tottenham climbed above bitter rivals Arsenal on goal difference. Arsenal, who have two games in hand on Tottenham, can regain fourth place if they avoid defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday (result not available) Regardless of that result, Tottenham are firmly in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League, despite Conte's claim that it would be a miracle to finish in the top four.

Newcastle snatched the lead against the run of play in the 39th minute when Schar's free-kick from the edge of the area caught Hugo Lloris unsighted as it evaded the Tottenham keeper's weak attempted save. But Tottenham were level four minutes later as Son's teasing cross was glanced home by Davies from six yards for his first Premier League goal since 2017.

Harry Kane was the provider when Tottenham moved ahead in the 48th minute, the England captain whipping over a fine cross that Doherty stooped to head in from close range. Needing another goal to overtake Arsenal, Conte's men struck again six minutes later as Kane's pass picked out Dejan Kulusevski and his cross was slotted in

by Son for his 15th goal this season.

SERVICE GUIDE

Emerson bagged his first Tottenham goal with a close-range finish from Doherty's cross in the 63rd minute before Bergwijn came off the bench to drill home with seven minutes left.

In turmoil when Conte arrived in November to replace the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo, Tottenham have renewed hope of an uplifting end to the season.

At the London Stadium, David Moyes' side moved up to sixth place thanks to Jarrod Bowen's second-half winner on the forward's return from a month out with a foot injury. Aaron Cresswell had put West Ham ahead with a superb 32nd minute free-kick before Mason Holgate equalised with a deflected effort soon after the interval. Everton were effectively out of the contest when Michael Keane was sent off midway through the second half. Everton's fifth defeat in their last six league games leaves them languishing just three points above the relegation zone. Frank Lampard's team have two games in hand on thirdbottom Watford, but their proud record of playing in the top-flight every season since 1954-55 remains under serious threat. Lampard publicly questioned his players' character after their FA Cup quarter-final thrashing at Crystal Palace. They were more committed in their first outing since then, but there was no improvement in the worst away record in England's four professional divisions this term. A trip to second-bottom Burnley on Wednesday (tonight) looms as a vital clash in Everton's fight for survival.

Beaten in two of their previous three league matches, West Ham are just three points behind Tottenham and Arsenal.

Manor finish season on high note Both Manor Cricket Club A and B recorded emphatic victories, in A and B leagues respectively.

Manor B defeated Nkobongo Cricket Club at Gledhow Grounds on Saturday by 31 runs. Manor B won the toss and scored 131 in their allotted 20 overs with Sameer Bisessur top scoring with 39 runs. In reply Nkobongo were bowled out for 100 runs in 18 overs.

In the top of the table clash Manor A wasted no time in setting the 'record' straight by toppling log leaders Oceanville in an emphatic 8 wickets victory on Sunday. Manor A skipper Comfort Shange won the toss and elected to bowl. Oceanville lost wickets at regular intervals and where

restricted to a paltry 70 for 8 in their allotted 20 Overs, with Rajiv Ramsing, Seshan Chetty and Keshav Singh scoring double figures of 15, 12 and 11 respectively. The pick of the Manor A bowlers was Suveer Dewlall with figures of 4 overs 3 wickets for 9 runs and Saieshan Loganathan 4 overs 2 wickets for 4 runs.

In reply the Manor A cruised to victory passing the score in 10.5 overs with S. Dewlall top scoring with 25.

S. Loganathan scored 20 and A. Bageloo 15 (no) ensured a smooth victory. Manor A remains undefeated at the summit of the Choprop A league.

Manor Skipper Comfort Shange, rallying his youthful team, was in great form on the field taking two vital catches and was full of praise for his team and the clinical approach to their matches this season.

Ghana will come face-toface with Uruguay in Group H of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to relive their emotional 2010 fiasco against the South Americans. During the firstever African nation hosting the global showpiece, Ghana were standout performers in South Africa. They went all the way to the knockout rounds but met their match in Uruguay during the quarter-finals. Star forward Diego Forlan cancelled out Sulley Muntari's goal as the match went into extra time in an intense fixture with roaring Ghanaian fans cheering and blowing vuvuzelas as each side continued tugging away. After 120 minutes was already played, Ghana came real close in edging Uruguay but Luis Suarez deliberately handled

April 6, 2022

FIFA World Cup draw the ball in front of the goalline, which gifted Ghana the chance to win the match from the penalty spot. However, Asamoah Gyan hit the upright and sent the match to a penalty shootout, with the South Americans claiming a convincing 5-2 at FNB Stadium.

Germany and Spain will clash as the two former winners are in the same group, while geopolitical rivals the United States and Iran were also drawn together. Fourtime World Cup winners Germany were in Pot Two, making them the prominent team to avoid the top seeds in the draw in the Qatari capital.

They were knocked out of the 2018 tournament in Russia in the group stage. Japan joins Germany and Spain in Group E, which will be completed by the winner of an intercontinental play-off in June between Costa Rica and New Zealand.

Iran and the United States last met at the 1998 World Cup in France when the Iranians won the politically-charged game 2-1 in Lyon. England also found themselves in Group B and will face Iran in their opening game on the tournament's first day, on November 21. Gareth Southgate's side, semifinalists four years ago in

Russia and runners-up at Euro 2020, might also come up against neighbours Wales or Scotland. However, Ukraine could also take the last spot in the European play-offs, to be decided in June.

Hosts Qatar, who will be appearing at their first World Cup, will face Ecuador in the World Cup's opening game at the 60,000-seat Al Bayt stadium in Al Khor, 35 kilometres north-east of Doha.

Qatar will also take on African champions Senegal as well as the Netherlands, who return to the World Cup after missing out in 2018, in Group A. Reigning champions France will likely be pleased at

finding themselves alongside familiar foes Denmark as well as Tunisia in Group D, which will be completed by the winners of the other intercontinental play-off, Australia, Peru or the United Arab Emirates.

Record five-time winners Brazil will play Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon in Group G, while two-time champions Argentina drew Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Robert Lewandowski's Poland in Group C. It might be Lionel Messi's last chance to win a World Cup as he will turn 35 before the tournament. The same goes for Cristiano Ronaldo, who

will be nearly 38 when Portugal comes up against Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea.

Croatia, runners-up in 2018, were drawn with Belgium and Morocco in Group F, which is completed by a Canada side returning to the World Cup for the first time in 26 years.

Thursday's event in Doha was attended by 2,000 guests, and featured former World Cup winners Cafu and Lothar Matthaeus among the draw assistants.

The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, was among those in attendance.

The World Cup will kick-off on Monday, 21 November with the final set to be staged on Sunday, 18 December.
