He was reacting to Switzerland's indictment at the end of August of former Algerian Defence Minister Khaled Nezzar -- who is not dying according to our information -- for complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity. Nezzar's trial looks to be politically compromised.

A CHIREDZI woman Morina Musisinyani (30) who, in April this year saved her three-year-old son from the jaws of a crocodile, was honoured on Friday by a feminist organisation. Whispers, whose leadership includes MDC-T legislator Priscillah Misihairabwi-Mushonga, awarded the woman for her bravery who together her aunt, Beauty Ingwani, fought a crocodile in Runde River. BY VENERANDA LANGA They wrestled the predator until it gave up the child, alive but severely injured. Narrating her ordeal at an event in Harare where the organisation also launched three feminist publications, Musisinyani said she had gone fishing in Runde River near Gonarezhou National Park with Ingwani, and had taken her son with her. “I went deeper into the water and then suddenly, I heard my aunt screaming that my son had been dragged by a crocodile,” she said. “I had to think fast. As it was trying to swallow the child, I went for its (crocodile) head and pressed its nose hard because I had heard that a crocodile can be weakened by pressing its nose. “It did lose strength and started wriggling in the water. It spat the baby who had by then fainted. The baby fell into the water.” She added: “I grabbed the baby and the crocodile bit me on the hand while I ran for life. My aunt then assisted me to resuscitate the baby, whom we thought had died due to injuries. We emptied water in his stomach and he came back to life and we rushed him to hospital.” Whispers honoured Musisinyani with a shield, a cake and cash gifts for her bravery during the event that was attended by several women’s groups and representatives from the Swedish embassy. Misihairabwi-Mushonga said: “We decided to celebrate Musisinyani in our own African way because if this incident had happened in Europe, this woman (Musisinyani) would be one of the most celebrated women on CNN and other big news channels. “This is a feminist story and what it teaches us is that if a woman can fight a crocodile, she can run a country.” Whispers then launched a publication that is titled The Bitch Guide, which come in three series. The organisation’s board member, Talent Jumo, who is also director of Katswe Sisterhood, said the word “bitch” was an acronym for “babe in total control of herself”, who has courage and can stand up against male chauvinists. The publication teaches women about feminism. During the launch, other women that were celebrated for promoting gender rights include former Labour minister Lucia Matibenga, Grace Chirenje, Theresa Mugadza, Thoko Matshe, Jenni Williams of Women of Zimbabwe Arise, and Jessie Kabwila-Kapasula, a Malawian politician and feminist.

NORTH EASTERN College beat Manzanilla Secondary 5-2 on Monday in an East Zone Under-16 contest in the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL).

At the Ojoe Road Recreation Ground in Sangre Grande, North Eastern took little time to stamp their control with Jehrell Ignatius scoring the opener inside the first minute.

Left winger Lebron Andrews doubled the lead in the 7th minute as Manzanilla found it difficult to come out their half.

Ignatius put the match beyond doubt with two more goals to complete his hat-trick and give his team a dominant 4-0 lead the the break.

Despite the huge deficit, Manzanilla came out a different team in the second half and pressured their opponents, who began to make mistakes. In contrast to the first half, Manzanilla had a number of shots on goal which either were saved or went narrowly wide.

However, they received a gut punch when North Eastern's Ricardo Sankar took advantage of a goalmouth scramble to fire it home and make it 5-0.

Manzan's persistence did not wane, and they received a further boost with a straight red card to North Eastern College's Alex Hinds for dissent.

Manzan were duly rewarded for their efforts with two late goals from Jadon Remy and Josiah Phillip, who removed his goalkeeping attire in the second half to help his team further up the field.

[Ghana Presidency] The decision to undertake arguably the largest investment in the country's health care system, Agenda 111, arose from Government's determination to close the gaping lack of access to healthcare facilities, especially in remote areas of the country, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has explained.

IN his 2024 budget presentation on Monday, Finance Minister Colm Imbert asserted that digital transformation remains one of the government's top priorities.

Describing it as a "critical sector," he thanked the Government of India for a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to advance digital transformation in TT, signed in August.

India's Ministry of Electronics and IT said it would help with capacity-building and training programmes, among other things.

"This collaboration will create a robust ecosystem of startups, developers and system integrators, driving next-generation innovation and enhancing inclusive finance," Imbert said.

In 2022, the UN Development Programme did a digital-readiness assessment for TT, which showed the country was at stage three of five, and classed as a country that is systematically applying digital tools and approaches.

Stage one is lacking the basic foundation for digital transformation, and stage two is advancing in select areas without co-ordinated strategy.

TT now has stage four (clear strengths in digital transformation and foundational elements in place) and stage five (advancing in all areas based on an integrated system) left to achieve.

So what’s next?

The 2024 Public Sector Investment Programme (PSIP), presented along with the budget, says the improvement of IT infrastructure in the public service will continue, with an allocation of $303.4 million "for the implementation of the government's digitisation programme."

It said for fiscal 2024, the ministry will focus on creating the digital government programme, a digital economy and a digital society.

The document says the ministry hopes to achieve several things, including a fully digital public service, e-identity for citizens, a financial system with fintech-enabled solutions and an e-commerce sector that adapts quickly to changes in the global market.

A fintech platform is set to be created, as well as enabling the online payment of taxes.

In addition, from January 2024-December 2025, there will be a cybersecurity investment tax allowance of up to $500,000 for companies that invest in cybersecurity software and network-security monitoring equipment.

In education, Finance Minister Colm Imbert said Wi-Fi access in schools will be expanded, and the e-book platform will continue "transforming teaching with more interactive, learner-centres approaches" and increasing the number of people using the e-testing system.

The Government will also continue distributing laptops to school students, announcing a further 2,400 fit-for-purpose laptops for students and selected staff at 94 secondary schools.

There are also plans for the continued digitisation of health records, postal services and police records, among other things.

Jayme Hoyte, senior vice president of business development at SmartTerm, told Business Day the 2024 budget showed “a commendable commitment to digital transformation…signalling a progressive leap into the digital age.

THE Prime Minister’s lawsuit against UNC Senator David Nakhid, over statements the latter allegedly made in a Facebook video recording on the Pfizer vaccine and Dr Rowley’s handling of the covid19 pandemic, has been adjourned to February next year.

At a case-management hearing on Thursday, Justice Devindra Rampersad gave directions for filing responses and submissions before he adjourned the case to February 8, 2024, for further case management.

The judge will give further directions by the end of October, possibly fixing a date for trial.

Rowley has sued the UNC senator over alleged defamatory statements the latter made on June 14, 2021, in which he alleged the prime minister acted improperly in his management of covid19.

Nakhid also allegedly made disparaging comments about Rowley, according to the lawsuit filed by the Prime Minister’s attorneys Michael Quamina, SC, and Adanna Bain.

A week after the Facebook recording, Rowley’s attorneys sent a pre-action protocol letter calling for an apology, a retraction and the immediate removal of the video from the social media platform. He also sought compensation and costs.

The letter said the words spoken in the videos relating to the vaccine were “entirely false.”

“Our client has not imported or caused to be imported any covid19 vaccine, more particularly, the Pfizer vaccine, for his friends, family and or any other persons."

It also condemned the other statements Nakhid allegedly made.

In response to the letter, Nakhid issued a statement saying he looked forward to seeing the Prime Minister in court.

Nakhid is represented by attorneys Kiel Taklalsingh and Leon Kalicharan.
