Bathabile Dlamini fights back: 'I don't owe Sassa'

Bathabile Dlamini fights back: âI don't owe Sassaâ
By Staff Reporter
Thabo Makwakwa
Durban - Former Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini says she does not owe the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) and is gearing up for a court battle against Sassa.
In an attempt to recover more than R2 million from Dlamini and former chief executive Virginia Petersen, Sassa has approached the North Gauteng High Court, where it is also requesting the court to assist in recovering R1.4 million from Lumka Oliphant.
Sassa wants Dlamini, jointly with Petersen, to pay more than R2 million for costs incurred when they authorised procurement for emergency security protection services.

'I do not owe Sassa a cent': Bathabile Dlamini on R3.5m VIP security bill

‘I do not owe Sassa a cent’: Bathabile Dlamini on R3.5m VIP security bill
The former social development minister says the agency’s lack of candour in the matter smacks of political expediency
02 March 2021 - 16:33
Former social development minister Bathabile Dlamini says she does not owe the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) a cent and has labelled its court case against her an attempt to settle political scores.
In an answering affidavit filed in the North Gauteng High Court, Dlamini defended a decision to finance protection for her family and that of former spokesperson Lumka Oliphant — using R3.5m in public funds — arguing she could not fold her arms while their lives were threatened...

California Almost Out of ICU Beds as Covid Cases Top 2 Million

(CN) — A record-breaking spike of Covid-19 cases has pushed California to over 2 million confirmed infections ahead of the Christmas holiday and left fewer than 1% of the state’s ICU beds available for new patients.
And with 32,000 new cases reported Wednesday, hospitals will continue to be inundated with new patients into the new year at alarming rates.
Over 3,800 Californians with Covid-19 lay in ICU beds across the state, nearly double the number just three weeks ago. That will continue to rise as the explosion of new Covid-19 positive cases plows into the record books every day.

Nancy McFarland
Nancy Irene McFarland, 87, of Signal Mountain, Tennessee, died peacefully at home on December 20, 2020, in the care of her family after battling atypical Parkinsonism for several years.
Known affectionately as “Nanny” to her family and friends, she was born in Cloquet, Minnesota on May 26, 1933 to Walter and Irene Peterson. She lived most of her life in Texas but moved to Signal Mountain two years ago. In Texas, she had worked as a secretary in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M University. Nanny was an avid reader who loved to bake cookies, needlepoint, and travel; however, what brought her great happiness was being with her family, whom she cherished and adored until the day she died. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. Being an interesting, kind, compassionate, and caring person, Nanny had many friends – to know her was to love her.

California desperately searches for more nurses and doctors -

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Since the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the U.S., Sara Houze has been on the road — going from one hospital to another to care for COVID-19 patients on the brink of death.
A cardiac intensive care nurse from Washington, D.C., with expertise in heart rhythm, airway and pain management, her skills are in great demand as infections and hospitalizations skyrocket nationwide. Houze is among more than 500 nurses, doctors and other medical staff California has deployed to hospitals that are running out of capacity to treat the most severe COVID-19 cases.
Her six-week assignment started Monday in San Bernardino, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) east of Los Angeles, and she anticipates working 14-hour shifts with a higher-than-usual caseload. San Bernardino County has 1,545 people in hospitals and more than 125 are in makeshift “surge” beds, which are being used because regular hospital space isn’t available.

California is desperately searching for nurses, doctors and other medical staff, perhaps from overseas, to meet demands as the coronavirus surge pushes hospitals across the state to the breaking point. With many of the state's hospitals running out of capacity to treat the severest cases, the state has brought in and deployed more than 500 extra staff but it needs a total of 3,000 temporary medical staff members.

What a year it was: A 2020 timeline

1
The year seemed to start out at a pace we are used to — politicians debated and insulted one another, British royals made headlines, teams squared off in the Super Bowl, Hollywood strutted its stuff at the Oscars. And an impeached president faced trial in the Senate. It was an extraordinary event, only the third such trial in U.S. history. At the time, it seemed to set a high bar for memorable events in 2020. If only we had known.
