The initiative called on “competing members of the ruling family and other leading figures” to stop interfering in the election through “political money” and other means that could influence the outcome of the parliamentary polls, allowing them to ensure the success of their “candidates” in the election. The initiative did not provide further details, but there have been increasing accusations that some influential fig- ures, in a bid to influence the outcome of the polls to serve their interests, have pumped millions of dinars into the process. Allegations of vote-buying and other forms of bribery and corruption have been repeatedly made, but very few people have been sent to court over such claims. The group consists of 20 personalities representing vari- ous political schools of thought and includes people like for- mer justice minister and deputy speaker Meshari Al-Anjari, veteran politician and former minister Yousef Al-Nasef, for- mer minister and MP Abdulwahab Al-Haroun, former minis- ter Abdulwahab Al-Wazzan and several other dignitaries.

  • 7 March 2002 Every Number 10 Batsman Dreams Of
    Marillier scripts thrilling win for Zimbabwe at Faridabad Santhosh S - 7 March 2002 Every number 10 batsman dreams of pulling off a shock win, of hitting up a storm in the latter stages of a run chase to elevate his team from the depths of despair to the dizzying heights of victory. On Thursday, Douglas Anthony Marillier lived out that dream in full-blooded glory. With Zimbabwe chasing 275, Marillier played one of the most incredible one-day innings ever seen. They would have been rejoicing in Harare, Bulawayo and all over Zimbabwe as Marillier scripted one of the most remarkable one-day wins of all time. He brazenly stole the thunder from a marauding Indian side at Faridabad on a pleasant Thursday evening, pulling off the unthinkable with two balls to spare and winning by just one wicket. Walking in to bat with Zimbabwe well and truly on the mat at 210/8 in the 45th over, Marillier made merry with some memorable shots to stand tall and strong on an unbeaten 56 off just 24 balls. What made his heroics all the more incredible was the fact that he ruthlessly punished the best of the bowlers on the day - Zaheer Khan. For a country that has had little to celebrate of late, this amazing win will be something to cherish for a long time to come. Beating India on their home soil is not an easy task, although admittedly the fickle nature of one-day cricket makes the job somewhat easier. But after the dismissals of Andy Flower and Alistair Campbell, Zimbabwe never looked like winning until Marillier took over with his unique style of strokeplay, scooping the ball over the wicket-keeper's head numerous times for four.

  • A Framework for the Financial Literacy Skills Required by Professional Athletes in Pursuit of Sustainable Financial Well-Being
    A FRAMEWORK FOR THE FINANCIAL LITERACY SKILLS REQUIRED BY PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES IN PURSUIT OF SUSTAINABLE FINANCIAL WELL-BEING by JACO MOOLMAN Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ACCOUNTING SCIENCES at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: Prof CC Shuttleworth November 2019 ABSTRACT (IN ENGLISH) Title: A framework for the financial literacy skills required by professional athletes in pursuit of sustainable financial well-being Many individuals spend their working lives attempting to accrue financial resources to sustain them beyond their retirement. The challenge in professional sport is that a professional athlete’s career is often relatively short with various risks that could end it prematurely. In addition, there are various reasons why professional athletes find it challenging to transition to a vocational career after their sporting careers end. This highlights the importance for professional athletes to attain a high level of financial literacy from a young age. Actor-network theory (ANT) provided a suitable theoretical frame for this study by considering the information that could flow in a network around a professional athlete in pursuit of sound financial decisions. This study first developed a framework for the financial literacy skills required by professional athletes in pursuit of sustainable financial well-being. For this purpose, semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 27 interviewees. ANT was applied to guide the selection of interviewees from a network of influencers that could guide a professional athlete’s financial decisions. The results of these interviews and the open-ended responses provided the basis for the contributed framework.

He might not get many invites to the cocktail parties, but this guy deserves the support - and tip offs - of decent minded people who want change for the better. If there was a Pulitzer Prize for courageous sports journalism in SA, Joffe would be the only candidate. What many of his don't touch rivals don't realise, is that he is the only go to man from sources wanting to blow open stories. It's only a matter of time before he drops a bombshell. The system in South African sport is all about sports administrators co-opting journos and then rewarding them with cocktail party invites and dropping the odd little scoop story. It's an easy life if that is the mediocrity that you aspire to.
