SOUTH AFRICA'S RICHEST WOMAN OFFERS 1.4 MILLION RAND REWARD FOR ZUMA'S SON & GUPTA.

One of the South Africa's richest women Magda Wierzycka is offering R1.4 million of her own money to help authorities track down and arrest Ajay Gupta and Jacob Zuma’s son Duduzane who are understood to be fugitives.

The CEO of Sygnia Group and former head of institutional business at Coronation Fund Managers and former CEO of the African Harvest Group is adamant that this is a reward and not a bounty.

“A bounty is a concept of hunting for people. The idea here is that people keep their eyes open and report Duduzane [Zuma] and the Guptas if spotted to the authorities so there is an arrest. This is not people hunting for criminals and people taking law into their own hands

“I don’t believe that they are walking around in shopping malls. There are people hiding them, there are people shielding them. From my information I know that they are protected by bodyguards, they and their families and anybody else who might be sheltering these people can assist. It is an appeal to those,”

she said.

Wierzycka is not convinced that they may have flown to Dubai.
Earlier during the week reports were doing the rounds that Ajay Gupta was seen at OR Tambo International Airport en route to Dubai.
She said the family was known for being frequent flyers as shown by #GuptaLeaks emails.

“Duduzane might also be here or could have been smuggled out of the borders into Lesotho or Swaziland. Their options for moving around are fairly limited. It is essentially that they are found. I have heard people saying my money would be better used building schools. If they are arrested we may recover more money to build more schools, just what Cyril [Ramaphosa] said he plans to do last night,”

she said.

The staunch supporter of whistleblowers and advocate of cleaning up in the rot in Corporate South Africa said she doesn’t have a wish list for Ramaphosa’s rumoured Cabinet reshuffle, but wishes for competent people.

“I would like to see competent people in Cabinet. There are a lot of good people. I don’t have a wish list. You want people with integrity and international reputation for the minister of finance. It must be someone who can speak to creditors and investors. I think there a lot of credible people that Cyril [Ramaphosa] has at his disposal and he must just make sure those are appointed,”

she explained.

Additional R500 000 has been offered as top-up for the the initial R500 00o reward “for Gupta and Duduzane.”

She is offering a further R200 000 “for the first bodyguard to Ajay Gupta who phones in”. She said the bodyguard will still receive the money even if the person who made the call is the “wife or girlfriend.”

She is also also offering R200 000 reward to “the first of the eight who appeared in Bloemfontein Magistrate Court to turn state witness.”

She is not optimistic that any of the “Gupta lieutenants” will turn state witnesses but “the civil servants looked shell shocked. I am not trying to bribe them but I am sure they have information the authorities can use.”

CUBA CLAIMS CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER IS FIDEL CASTRO'S SON.

WHY CHINA'S DOG-MEAT MARKET HAS EXPANDED.

Every year during the summer solstice, a dog-eating festival takes place in Yulin, a city in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi. This year’s event ended with the usual controversy. Photographs of dogs being fried or treated cruelly went viral. The Jinhua Hutou Dog Meat Festival, as it is called, was abruptly canceled last week. Animal-rights activists and American congressmen demanded that China ban the eating of dogs and cats, as Taiwan did in April. Yulin’s local government took modest steps to restrain or hide some of the more contentious activities, such as selling dogs in food markets. Still, the festival was packed. Why has the controversial culinary habit become so popular in China? Contrary to cliché, dog meat has not always been a common item in the Chinese diet. Unlike in the West, eating dogs has never been taboo, but it appears to have been rare in the past. Government accounts single out butchers who sold dog meat, suggesting it ...

MALARIA VACCINE PROVES HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN BURKINA FASO.

A vaccine against malaria has been shown to be highly effective in trials in Africa, holding out the real possibility of slashing the death toll of a disease that kills 400,000 mostly small children every year. The vaccine, developed by scientists at the Jenner Institute of Oxford University, showed up to 77% efficacy in a trial of 450 children in Burkina Faso over 12 months. The hunt for a malaria vaccine has been going on the best part of a century. One, the Mosquirix vaccine developed by GlaxoSmithKline, has been through lengthy clinical trials but is only partially effective, preventing 39% of malaria cases and 29% of severe malaria cases among small children in Africa over four years. It is being piloted by the World Health Organization in parts of Kenya, Ghana and Malawi. The Oxford vaccine is the first to meet the WHO goal of 75% efficacy against the mosquito-borne parasite disease. Larger trials are now beginning, involving 4,800 children in four countries. Prof ...

MINERS IN NAMIBIA DISCOVER SHIPWRECK LOADED $13 MILLION WORTH OF GOLD.

Image: Dieter Noli. Diamond miners working off the coast of Africa were beyond surprised when they discovered a 500-year-old shipwreck teeming with gold worth $13 million and other treasures. The ship, aptly named ‘Bom Jesus’ or ‘Good Jesus,’ was like a miracle to the miners. Bom Jesus was first identified and discovered by geologists working for the mining company De Beers in 2008. It was found off the coast of Namibia near Oranjemund. Image: Dieter Noli. According to experts, Bom Jesus is from the Golden era of Portuguese explorers who set sail in all directions in search of new lands to colonize. The ship left Lisbon in 1533 under the supervision of Sir Francisco de Noronha. But on its way to India, it mysteriously vanished. Before the discovery, the miners were draining an artificial salt lake. As the lake dried out, many lost ships were found at the bottom of the lake. Bom Jesus was among them, and it is considered the oldest of all ...

"PAINTING COW TO LOOK LIKE ZEBRA REDUCES FLIES BY 50%", JAPANESE RESEARCHERS.

Painting a cow to look something like a zebra has been found to reduce fly bites by 50%. Researchers believe painting stripes on to cattle is a world-first and could become an environmentally friendly alternative to pesticides. The study, published by Japanese scientists in the journal Plos One , found fly attacks were “significantly reduced” by the disguise. The scientists believe the striped pattern confuses the fly’s motion detection and deters the pests. In what was a five-minute process for each animal, researchers painted white, 4cm to 5cm stripes on six pregnant Japanese black cows. The stripes were drawn freehand, using “commercial waterborne white lacquers” that faded easily. The laquered bovines were then observed. Two of the cows were painted with white stripes, two with black stripes and two were left unpainted for a control. The process then repeated so, over nine days, each cow spent three days striped, painted black or unpainted. Only 55 flies ...
