Bloemfontein gaan dalk een van sy gewildste musiek- extravaganzas verloor as Pacofs nie plaaslike vervaardigers tegemoet wil kom nie.

Daar Willie Venter is gewilde kunstenaars, skole en dansers by so ’n vertoning betrokke en is ’n geleentheid wat sorg vir groot opwinding in die Sand du Plessis-teater. Die vervaardiger van Moments, Willie Venter, is egter hoogs ongelukkig met Pacofs omdat laasgenoemde glo vanjaar die bedrag vir die huur van die teater vir Moments bykans verdubbel het. “Verlede jaar het dit ons sowat R65 000 vir drie vertonings gekos om die teater te gebruik. Vanjaar sal dit my om en by R53 000 kos vir een vertoning. Dit is belaglik,” het Venter gesê.

Anchor Capital Accountants must pioneer AI solutions, says SAIPA There’s been much talk in the press about the robotisation of accounting and how artifi cial intelligence (AI) will inevitably make professional accountants obsolete. However, it is not that simple, says Faith Ngwenya, Technical and Standards Executive at the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA). Ngwenya says in a statement by SAIPA that professional accounting organisations like the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and SAIPA are closely monitoring the impact of AI-driven systems on the industry. “While some bookkeeping and reporting functions may require minimal human intervention in the future, the professional accountants who are willing to expand their horizons will be more in demand than ever.” According to SAIPA, to date there are no commercially available general AIs, that is, ones that can learn to do anything a human Faith Ngwenya can. Rather, today’s AIs must be trained to perform an individual task by analysing historical data related to that function.

31 January 2019 FREE Sizzling water polo in Bfn

Morgan Piek [email protected]

The annual ITEC Grey College U18 water polo tournament took place at Grey College over the past week and provided a thrilling three days of action by many of the top schools in the country. St David’s Marist Inanda (Johannesburg) claimed the bragging rights for 2019 after edging Grey High School from Port Elizabeth 7-6 in a thrilling fi nal. St Benedict’s, also from Johannesburg, took the bronze with an 8-4 win over another Port Elizabeth school, Pearson High School. For the hosts, Grey College, it was a tournament of mixed fortunes, with wins over York High School (18-0), St Peter’s College (10-1) and Pearson (5-2). In the quarter-fi nals, the wheels came off for Grey with a 7-2 defeat to St Benedict’s, 9-2 loss to St Stithians and a 1-1 draw to Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affi es) in the 7th and 8th place play-off. A school that needs a special mention is without a doubt York High School from George. While York suffered heavy defeats in every single one of their games, it is an amazing feat for the school without their own pool to come and compete in an elite tournament. The water polo programme was started at the school with only eight boys four years ago, in that time managed to develop and generate enough interest in the sport for them to travel to Bloemfontein for their fi rst-ever major tournament.
