The Summer Olympic Games is scheduled to commence in four days and even though organisers have put several measures in place to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus at the event, already two athletes have tested positive inside the athletes’ village in Tokyo, Japan.Well known physician Dr. Adrian Lorde told Barbados TODAY the protocols and lengths to which the organisers have gone to ensure the safety of all involved including the athletes, are the best the Japanese can do.“I think it is the best they can do if we are going to go ahead with the Olympics, then they have to go ahead with those measures in place. The athletes are to come in, participate and leave, which does not allow for proper acclimatisation and the recuperation from jet lag and so on.

AUTHORITIES at Bulawayo Polytechnic have reversed their decision to expel a motor mechanics student for alleged misconduct after Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights intervened. BY SILAS NKALA Lawson Machida, a mechanical engineering student at Bulawayo Polytechnic was expelled on November 4 by the college principal Gilbert Mabasa. He was also suspended from enrolling on any course with the college for two years because of his bad behaviour. ZLHR Lawyer Jabulani Mhlanga, representing Machida challenged the institution’s decision to suspend and expel him. In a letter to Mabasa, Mhlanga argued that Machida had only been summoned to testify as a witness on October 12 in a case in which a student at Bulawayo Polytechnic had been brought before a disciplinary hearing for allegedly assaulting the institution’s matron. “Even though Machida was a witness and not subjected to disciplinary proceedings, the disciplinary committee digressed from its mandate and made an adverse finding against Machida based on his testimony as a witness during the hearing and held that he behaved in a manner unbefitting a student,” Mhlanga argued. “The student was not subjected to any disciplinary hearing in terms of the law and was never given any notice or advised that he was under any investigation or disciplinary process for committing acts of misconduct.” The human rights lawyer said the expulsion of Machida, without following due processes, was a clear violation of his constitutional rights, in particular the right to education guaranteed in section 75 of the Constitution and the right to administrative justice provided in section 68 of the Constitution. In response to Mhlanga’s letter, Mabasa conceded that his institution had erred in expelling and suspending Machida. He said the institution had reinstated him to continue pursuing his studies at institution.

The high court's unsigned order, with no noted dissent, leaves the California restrictions in place for now. But it throws out a federal district court ruling that rejected a challenge to the limits from Pasadena-based Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry, which has more than 160 churches across the state.
