Gareth Ackerman, Pick n Pay chairperson and co-chairperson of the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (CGCSA), has called for enhanced co-operation between the Government of National Unity (GNU) and the private sector to tackle the country’s persistent economic stagnation and infrastructure deficiencies. Speaking at the CGCSA’s annual summit yesterday, Ackerman emphasised that achieving economic growth – hovering at a dismal average of 2% over the past decade – required a fundamental shift in governmental approach. “We have a long way to go and for the last decade or more we have regressed economically and growth has averaged about 2%, yet we actually need growth of 7%,” Ackerman said. He urged that South Africa should learn from countries such as India on how to delineate the roles of government and…

Work really hard for eight to ten hours a day, five or six days a week, even if you don’t have to. Humans are designed for work. Cooperate with your design. Consistently, for years and years and years, spend less money than you earn. You have never heard a person say, “Gosh, I have saved far too much.” Be accountable (answerable) to the same small group of friends for years and years. We are built for relationships. Cooperate. Honour your parents no matter how young or old you are. Give time and money to a cause you love. Take full responsibility for your life, actions, and attitudes. It’s too late to blame others for who you are and so blame no one for anything. Accept that your most intimate and…

The IFP extends its heartfelt condolences to the families of the five children who died prematurely, allegedly due to food poisoning, after consuming snacks bought at a local spaza shop in Naledi, Soweto. The IFP strongly condemns the trend of unscrupulous spaza shops selling unsafe and often expired food items to the most vulnerable children in Gauteng township and informal settlement areas. The fact that these fatalities are not the first of their kind in the community of Naledi tells of the kind of uncaring attitude and impunity with which these unscrupulous spaza shops operate. Their actions in overlooking basic environmental health and food safety standards of their products, show little to no regard for the well-being of their consumers. For us, the death of these young children is an…

It would be absurd for an employer to be expected to pay a gratuity – which is a token of appreciation – to an employee who left office in disgrace, the Gauteng High Court has said as it dismissed former public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s application, in which she sought payment of a R10 million gratuity. Judge Omphemetse Mooki also slapped Mkhwebane with the costs of the legal proceedings which were brought before the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, against her former employer and the current Public Protector, Kholeka Gcaleka. Both Gcaleka and Mkhwebane asked the court to issue a punitive costs order against the other, which the judge declined to do. Mkhwebane wanted Gcaleka to foot a punitive costs order from her private purse, as she claimed the decision to deny…

The SABC has taken a bold step towards enhancing its revenue by auctioning three plots of vacant land next week. Located on KE Masinga Road, in close proximity to the Kingsmead Cricket Stadium, the SABC aims to attract potential buyers to these high-value parcels of land in Durban Central. The auction is scheduled for October 16. In a statement, SABC announced that the combined area of the three portions spans an 8 944 square metres. It was noted that the auction site was positioned within a ecosystem of hospitals, shops, hotels, and numerous businesses, including SABC itself and key educational and conference venues such as UNISA and Durban ICC. Jaclyn Nair, a broker from Broll Auctions and Sales, highlighted that with zoning classified as General Business 3, investors had…

Two men have appeared in court for intercepting a businessman’s email, which led to him paying R741 000 into the wrong bank account. Mpumalanga spokesperson for the Hawks, Captain Dineo Lucy Sekgotodi explained that the complainant, Sizolethu Richard Sindane, was a regular customer of a certain company in October 2021. Sindane used to buy products by sending an email to the company with a list of requirements. The company would package the stock and inform him when ready for delivery. The two accused, including a former SA National Defence Force (SANDF) employee, fraudulently intercepted Sindane’s email and became aware of his interactions with the company. They allegedly then sent an email to Sindane posing as an employee of the company and informed him that his stock was ready and that…

The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal said there was a worrying trend in the province where some ANC members continued to represent the party but were sympathetic to former President Jacob Zuma and his uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP). The party was responding to secretary general Fikile Mbalula who this week warned that some party members had taken the decision to defect to Zuma’s party but were waiting in the ANC before making their move. “We are aware this defection to Jacob Zuma is staggered and well planned. “All we are looking at is how long it will take. They (MKP) are recruiting inside the ANC, among others, but some of them have long made up their minds; they have long been with Zuma. You see them on social media,” Mbalula said. There…

THE suspect linked to the Lusikisiki, Eastern Cape shooting that claimed 18 lives has been out on parole since last year, following his convictions for murder and escaping custody. Forty-five-year-old Siphosoxolo Myekethe was arrested on Monday at his home in Mthimde Location. Eastern Cape police commissioner Nomthetheleli Mene said this was a breakthrough which could lead to the successful arrest of more people. “We are pleased that we were able to arrest a suspect that we could positively link to the Ngobozana village incident,” said Mene. Myekethe made his first appearance in the Lusikisiki Magistrate’s Court yesterday, facing 18 charges of murder and one count of possession of an unlicensed firearm: an AK47 assault rifle. The court heard that Myekethe was previously convicted on charges of escape and murder where…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept confined to science fiction. It’s here, and it’s transforming industries, economies, and societies across the globe. As AI technologies rapidly advance, South Africa stands at a critical juncture – either we can sit on the beach and watch the AI wave roll in, or we can grab our surfboards, run into the sea, and ride the wave of innovation. Those surfboards are education. A key to South Africa’s success in this new era will be AI literacy and skills. To future-proof our nation, AI literacy and skills must be integrated at all levels – primary, secondary, and tertiary. AI is no longer just for tech experts; being able to use generative AI, such as ChatGPT, effectively and responsibly must become a…

Hezbollah militants and Israeli forces exchanged fire along the Lebanon-Israel border yesterday, before expected talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden. Hezbollah said its fighters were locked in clashes with Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, using rocket-propelled weapons to repel Israeli attempts to breach the border. Israel said its air defences intercepted two projectiles fired towards Caesarea and reported the destruction of more than “100 Hezbollah terror targets” in the past 24 hours. As fighting raged, with Netanyahu warning Lebanon could face “a long war … like we see in Gaza”, Biden sought to prevent further escalation, particularly involving Iran. Biden was set to speak to Netanyahu for the first time in seven weeks yesterday, with the Israeli offensive in Lebanon, as well as its…

Voters in Mozambique cast their ballots yesterday for a new president and parliament, with the Frelimo party that has been ruling for 49 years expected to hold on to power. The election comes amid political tension in the southern African nation which struggles with high levels of poverty and inequality, while jihadist violence in the north is holding back major gas projects. Outgoing President Filipe Nyusi, 65, who steps down after a two-term limit, was among the first to vote. “I would also ask that no group of citizens agitates or threatens others, that everything happens in peace and tranquillity and that we avoid announcing the results ahead of time,” Nyusi said. After municipal elections in 2023 were seen as fraudulent, protests erupted in major cities in which police killed…

WASHINGTON: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said this week that if he became the president again, the relationship between Israel and the US would be even stronger than before. Trump pledged to prevent threats against Israel and support its fight against terrorism. Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris have both claimed to be the more pro-Israel candidate. Harris, who is married to a Jewish man, has said: “I have my entire career and life supported Israel.” | Sputnik…

Tokyo: Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba dissolved parliament yesterday ahead of snap elections on October 27, banking on his popularity and a fragmented opposition to lead his scandal-tainted party to victory. Ishiba’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has governed Japan for decades and is likely to be re-elected. He aims to strengthen his mandate to implement policies on defence spending and support for poorer regions. However, his decision faced criticism for contradicting vows to engage with the opposition in parliament. Ishiba’s government also plans to address Japan’s demographic crisis and support families through various measures. | AFP…

In the 1990s, as South Africa broke free from apartheid, Sekunjalo Investment Holdings emerged—not from privilege or wealth, but from determination and visionary leadership—becoming a transformative force in the nation’s economy. Founded by Dr Iqbal Survé in 1997, Sekunjalo began with humble roots. At a time when black entrepreneurs faced insurmountable barriers to entry into the mainstream economy, where access to capital and opportunities were reserved for a privileged few, Dr Survé saw a different path. Inspired by discussions with President Nelson Mandela and Professor Jakes Gerwel, Dr Survé left his medical career to embark on a journey that would reshape South Africa’s economy. Listening to Mandela’s call for black professionals to enter the mainstream economy, Dr Survé created Sekunjalo with a purpose-driven ethos rooted in social justice and broad-based…

Niël Pretorius, the CEO of DRDGold, which recently raised a R500 million financing facility, yesterday said conditions to access capital in South Africa have eased although banks were being rigorous in their due diligence processes. DRDGold’s cash balances reduced from R2.4 billion in June 2023 to R521.5m as the company utilised “cash savings to finance the capital expenditure, the bulk of which paid for the solar power plant and battery energy storage system” at the Ergo operation. In June, the bullion producer secured the R500m facility from Nedbank while in June it entered into a 5-year R1bn revolving credit facility, with a R500 million accordion option, with the same bank. Pretorius said that conditions for accessing capital in SA were easing, allowing mining firms to expand operations, build infrastructure such…

A comparison of the May 29 election and its aftermath serves as a sobering indication of the health of democracy in South Africa compared to the state of democracy in the US as its November 5 election approaches. The outcome of the May 29 election was known within 36 hours and accepted. Having lost its ruling majority, the ANC did not resort to a coup d’etat or High Court battles. GNU was formed and has been in office for more than 100 days. Fresh voices are now an accepted reality in the corridors of government. But in the US, a Rasmussen poll found that 62%, including a large number of Democrat supporters, believe that the 2020 election was marred by electoral fraud and that 66% of voters polled expect the…

I cannot fathom how our locals still have the temerity to scream foul, when pro-Palestinians stage protest marches. Zionists enjoy living under our blue sky, with complete freedom of expression, full human rights and a fully fledged democracy with probably the best Constitution in the world. But they choose to vote for discrimination and oppression. Tramping on every basic human right. By the very term “Zionism”, there’s an implication of setting up a permanent station in the holy land. Against all odds. Get assistance from like-minded fanatics, use any book, document, act, accord and knock down all the laws of war. Crush all basic human rights that have been officially promulgated in unison with the majority of countries. Bar even the UN Secretary-General from visiting the area, for fear of…

A Durban High Court judgment handed down yesterday has halted Transnet’s planned upgrade of Durban Container Terminal Pier 2 (DCT2). The upgrade involved the appointment of a private-sector equity partner to handle the expansion and manage the operations of DCT2. Transnet had awarded the contract to Philippines-based company International Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI). APM Terminals, a subsidiary of the Danish shipping giant Maersk and one of the losing bidders for the contract, took the matter to court and an interim interdict was granted yesterday in its favour. The interdict prevents Transnet from proceeding with any actions related to the awarded tender, effectively pausing negotiations or the conclusion of any contracts with ICTSI or other parties, until a hearing of Part B of the court challenge can take place. Part…

Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube said her department will be led by the consultation process underway regarding the two clauses of the Basic Education Laws Amendment (Bela) Act that deal with school admission and language. While President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Act into law, he delayed the implementation of the two clauses to allow consultation for three months. The sections came under severe criticism as it was argued that it would remove power from schools and its governing bodies. Clause 4 of the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act relates to the provincial department being responsible for the admitting of pupils into a public school, taking away the responsibility from school governing bodies (SGB), while clause 5 sees the power of determining a school’s language policy move from the SGB to…

The Department of Home Affairs has announced the gazetting of two major reforms aimed at overhauling South Africa's visa regime, with the introduction of the remote work visitor visa and a new points-based system for work visas. Home Affairs said these reforms are part of a broader effort by the Government of National Unity (GNU) to attract skills and investment while stimulating economic growth and job creation. In July 2023, President Cyril Ramaphosa called for an overhaul of the visa regime to help drive skills development, investment, and growth in the tourism sector. In response, Home Affairs delivered what Minister Leon Schreiber described as “the single most progressive and pro-jobs regulatory reform South Africa has seen in decades.” The remote work visa allows highly paid foreign individuals employed abroad to…

A LUTZVILLE, Western Cape farmer, accused of knocking a six-year-old boy with his bakkie, will remain in prison awaiting his trial after his bail application was denied, despite him allegedly having six months to live. In the judgment handed down by the Vredendal Magistrate’s Court this week, Christoffel Stoman, 70, was informed his application was unsuccessful and the magistrate believed the State had a strong case against him. Stoman is facing two counts of attempted murder and a charge of reckless and negligent driving, after Khwezi Jantjies was run over and both his legs broken. It is alleged Stoman saw the child trying to steal fruit from his farm. Billy Claasen of the Rural and Farmworkers Development Organisation said Jantjies was walking with his mother, Magrieta Jantjies, when the incident…

THE DA has been warned to do some self-introspection after losing control of Tshwane yesterday. The party previously governed Joburg and Ekurhuleni but was sent packing by the alliance of ANC, ActionSA, EFF and other smaller parties, the same scenario that played out in Tshwane yesterday. Former deputy mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya of ActionSA came out tops against ousted mayor Cilliers Brink. She got 122 votes against Brink’s 86. Sharing 117 seats, ActionSA, EFF and ANC were supported by the Good Party, African Transformation Movement and Defenders of the People. In her acceptance speech, Moya said the anxiety and political instability that had plagued the metro was not lost on her. “But, my vow today is to put the politics of the past behind us and bring stability to the…

SPARE a thought for the honest and hardworking police officers who risk their lives in exchanges of gunfire with ruthless extortionists, only for their colleagues to be arrested for crimes they are valiantly trying to eradicate. The recent arrests of police officers on allegations that they were involved in collecting “protection fees” means that the fight against extortion-related crimes will have to start from within. This is vital when one considers the risks associated with reporting extortion-related crimes at police stations. A case in point is Western High Court Judge Daniel Thulare’s scathing judgment on the links between police officers and extortion gangs. “There were members of the police who he (state witness) knew as close to the Guptas (extortion gang), who asked him why he was at the police…

Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy would visit China next week, sources familiar with the plan said, as the new Labour government seeks less confrontational ties with the world’s second-largest economy and to resume trade and investment talks. British officials have said they wanted to recalibrate many of the previous Conservative Party-led government’s positions on China, which it described as an “epoch-defining challenge”, particularly around accepting Chinese job-creating investment. But Britain is unlikely to budge on issues such as Chinese firms’ involvement in providing key infrastructure, human rights and restoring the licence of state broadcaster CGTN, as it is controlled by China’s ruling Communist Party. Lammy, who has vowed to overhaul Britain’s ties with China, would meet Chinese officials in Beijing and representatives of British firms in Shanghai, two of the…

The US this week imposed sanctions on the younger brother of the head of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), accusing him of leading the paramilitary group’s procurement of weapons and extending the country’s civil war. Fighting that broke out between the RSF and Sudan’s army in April 2023 has displaced millions and led to the spread of famine and disease among Sudan’s people. Algoney Hamdan Daglo Musa, hit with the latest US Treasury Department sanctions on Sudanese actors, is the younger brother of RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti. Washington has so far resisted calls to sanction Hemedti directly over allegations that the RSF has committed human rights violations, including in the Darfur region. The Treasury said in a statement that Algoney’s actions supplying the RSF had contributed…

MOSCOW: The Russian army said yesterday that it had shot down 47 Ukrainian drones overnight, nearly half of them over the Bryansk border region. About 13 drones were destroyed over the Azov Sea and the rest over regions either bordering or near Ukraine, it said. Russia has reported shooting down Ukrainian drones over its territory on a nearly daily basis. Kyiv said it was carrying out the strikes, which often target energy sites, in response to Russian bombardments of its territory. Kyiv has ramped up strikes targeting Russia’s energy sector in recent months, aiming to dent revenues used by Moscow to fund the conflict in Ukraine. | AFP…

BOGOTA: Colombia’s electoral authority is investigating President Gustavo Petro for allegedly exceeding spending limits by nearly $1 million during his 2022 campaign. CNE president Cesar Lorduy revealed that Petro and key campaign members are suspected of overspending by $880 000. Should the CNE find evidence of financial violations, it may impose penalties or refer the case to Congress, potentially leading to impeachment. Petro’s lawyer said the president did not recognise the CNE’s decisions, amid suspicions raised by his son’s admission of receiving illicit funds for campaign events. | AFP…

HEY, are we panicking a bit much about climate change? Parts of Antarctica are turning green quicker than previously thought, according to Sky News, leaving scientists shocked at the impact of climate change in the region. The area covered by vegetation in the Antarctic Peninsula is 10 times larger than it was four decades ago, a UK research team has said. For now, it remains almost entirely covered by snow, ice, and rock, with plant life growing on only a tiny fraction of the landscape, but that tiny fraction has grown significantly. The pace of change has accelerated by more than 30 percent between 2016 and 2021 and the team says it showed anthropogenic climate change - caused by humans - “has no limit in its reach”. It means the…

As the world’s population grows and trade between nations expands, ships are getting bigger and bigger. Shipping companies are realising bigger is better. It makes economic sense to own one Post-Panamac, 200 000 ton container vessel rather than two Panamac, 100 000 ton container ships. Despite their size, these mammoths of the sea are cheaper to operate. Look at the world’s largest container vessel, the MSC Irina, with a summer dead weight capacity of 240 739 tons. The length of four football fields, it can carry an astonishing 24 346 containers, which is the equivalent of a freight train 70 kilometres long. Stacked so high, it’s mind-boggling how these giants are manoeuvered. But with their big and efficient engines and all the modern navigational equipment, they can be handled like…

Oversight inspections by the DA at Ilembe schools — ahead of the all-important National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations in less than two weeks’ time – have revealed little to no change at the district’s worst-performing school in 2023. The oversight visits form part of the DA’s State of Readiness Tour (SORT), covering all 12 of KZN’s education districts ahead of the examinations, in order to establish what interventions were made by the province’s Department of Education (DoE) at schools that failed to perform in the 2023 NSC exams. On Friday last week, the DA visited Sabuyaze Secondary School, the worst performing school in the Ilembe District, which only achieved a 60% pass rate in 2023. The school, which is ranked as Quintile 1, is in a desperate state. This is…

CO-OPERATIVE Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) MEC Thulasizwe Buthelezi has publicly blasted the eThekwini Municipality’s leadership, accusing it of being “arrogant, non-compliant and acting as though it does not account to Cogta”. Buthelezi said the leadership of eThekwini had an “attitude problem” and specifically mentioned city manager Musa Mbhele. The MEC was addressing members of the national Cogta portfolio committee in Msunduzi Municipality yesterday. The members of the committee are visiting three municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal this week. They will travel next to the Ugu District Municipality on the South Coast. EThekwini has been under strain in the past few months after two intervention teams were sent to the municipality to help improve service delivery. A presidential task team led by ANC leader Mike Mabuyakhulu was deployed by President Cyril Ramaphosa,…

The community of Naledi, Soweto, has vowed to continue closing down spaza shops operated by undocumented immigrants in the area after five children died after allegedly consuming poisoned snacks from a spaza shop. The children, all aged between six and 10, died at the weekend. It is alleged that they all ate chips purchased from a shop. The tragedy has left families shattered and reignited tensions over the role of undocumented immigrants in the local economy. Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi expressed his deep sorrow to the families during a visit to their homes, confirming his commitment to provide support while the investigation unfolds. “Obviously, we are deeply saddened by the situation that has occurred here. We have prepared to visit the families and have requested the leadership of the police…

SAA has warned of a scam being shared on WhatsApp and Facebook in which discounted and free flights appeared to be offered by the airline. The airline has advised that no such offer has been made. It advised travellers to be cautious when looking for flight deals and to only book flights through official channels, such as the SAA website or authorised travel agents. In a post on Facebook, SAA said: “We have been alerted to a WhatsApp and Facebook scam offering discounted tickets on SAA along with payment links. Please be aware that these offers are not associated with our airline,” the airline said. Meanwhile, two alleged romance scammers, who are said to have scammed more than R2 million from an online “lover”, have been caught - more than…

Close to 200 000 pupils will write the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations in KwaZulu-Natal starting on October 21. The Department of Education in the province revealed this during a media briefing yesterday. About 172 433 are full-time pupils and about 18 019 are part-time candidates. The department detailed the scale of its operations which are the largest in the country, with 6 343 invigilators managing examination sessions across 6 710 examination rooms. There are 32 marking centres with 7 614 markers, 1 517 senior markers, 300 deputy chief markers, 67 chief markers, 87 internal moderators, 32 centre managers, 64 deputy centre managers, and 2 100 examination assistants. Marking will commence on December 1 and conclude on December 10. Marking centres will close on December 18 after the collection of…

kuben chetty China’s recent economic decisions highlight its proactive response to challenges which includes strategies that South Africa could potentially mirror. In a series of high-level meetings, the Chinese leadership led by President Xi Jinping, emphasised policies to stimulate consumer demand, support private businesses and stabilise the housing market. There are lessons that South Africa could take from China’s policy adjustments. Economic approach China’s latest policies are notable for their breadth and focus on both immediate and long-term goals. According to reports from the CPC leadership meeting, China’s focus is on creating a stable economic environment, with key priorities being job creation, bolstering the private sector, and expanding domestic demand. This includes providing significant support to small and medium-sized enterprises, which are vital for innovation and employment. The Chinese government…

North Korea’s army said yesterday that it was moving to “permanently shut off and block the southern border” with the South and had informed the US military to prevent an accidental clash. Pyongyang said that it would “cut off roads and railways” that might have made travel between the two Koreas possible. However, it was largely a symbolic gesture because cross-border exchanges and travel between North and South Korea have been halted for years. Inter-Korean relations are at one of their lowest points in years, with Pyongyang closing agencies dedicated to reunification and declaring South Korea its “principal enemy”. Some analysts thought the announcement could be a potential first step towards more serious action, such as amending the North’s constitution to declare a new maritime border south of the current…

MOSCOW: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expounded on the ongoing Ukraine conflict, Russia’s continued commitment to a politico-diplomatic settlement aimed at removing the root causes of the crisis, and the overall shift towards a multi-polar world order in a recent interview with the US magazine, Newsweek. Restoring peace was not part of Ukraine’s plan, while its Western patrons continue “playing with fire”, oblivious to the dangerous consequences, Lavrov said. “Washington and its Nato allies provide political, military and financial support to Kyiv so that the war would go on. “We have no choice but to continue our special military operation until the threats posed by Ukraine are removed,” Lavrov said. | Sputnik…

N’Djamena: Chad’s government has called for public assistance to address deadly flooding caused by torrential rains and rising waters in the river Chari. Since July, floods have claimed 576 lives and affected over 1.9 million people, more than 10% of the population, the UN said. Prime Minister Allah-Maye Halina said that the waters reached a record 8.18m. Soldiers have been deployed to build dams and barriers, while Halina urged businesses to construct embankments. All 23 provinces of Chad have been affected, with over 217 000 homes destroyed, 432 000ha of fields ravaged and 72 000 livestock killed, the UN said. | AFP…

TEHRAN: Tehran rejected the “accusations” by a British security official, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said yesterday, a day after UK’s MI5 spy chief said 20 Iran-backed potentially lethal plots had been disrupted in Britain since January 2022. Security Service (MI5) Director-General Ken McCallum accused Iran of being behind “plot after plot” on British soil. He said state threat investigations were up 48% in the past year as Russia and Iran turned to criminals to carry out their “dirty work”. Baghaei accused the British of hosting “terrorist” groups, and asked London to reconsider its policies towards “the nation of Iran and West Asia”. | Reuters…

Talent identification and retention are the cornerstones of success in any sport, and lawn bowls is no exception. In a game that demands precision, strategy and composure, it is essential to identify young talent early and nurture their skills to ensure the sport’s growth and sustainability. With an ageing player base in many clubs, developing a pipeline of skilled bowlers is critical for the future. Retaining these promising athletes through mentorship, skills practice opportunities and support will not only strengthen competitive play, but also foster a sense of community and pride within the lawn bowls fraternity. Realising that talent identification in lawn bowls doesn’t stop at spotting potential – it’s about developing that talent into something formidable. Susan Nel makes this the core objective of her Port Natal Academy. Nel…
