    The factors behind Eastern Cape’s horrific road deaths

    Human behaviour is behind many of the road accidents on Eastern Cape roads so far this festive season.

That is the opinion of Eastern Cape transport department spokesperson Unathi Binqose, speaking after a bloody weekend on the province’s roads in which more than 18 people died and 20 were injured. In an accident near Graaff-Reinet on Monday morning, 14 people died in a head-on collision between a minibus taxi and an SUV on the N9. A few hours earlier, on Sunday night, another head-on collision on the R61 near Bizana claimed the lives of three people.  Speaking on Behind The Herald Headlines with Daron Mann this week, Binqose says fatigue, reckless and negligent driving and driving under the influence of alcohol were factors in road deaths.

    Malgas prepared to work with defeated rugby rival

    Newly elected EP Rugby president George Malgas says he will humble himself and knock on the door of his opponent for the position, Willem Oliphant — for the betterment of rugby. A relieved Malgas was crowned president after he pipped bitter rival Oliphant by the narrowest of margins — 119 to 116 — on Saturday. Speaking on Behind The Herald Headlines with Daron Mann this week, Malgas said he believed he could work with Oliphant for the betterment of rugby, adding he wanted to bring him back into the fold as he felt Oliphant had value to add to EP Rugby. “For me, the value seems to be that he can unlock some funds, nationally and otherwise,” he said. “I think his campaign was based on [being] willing to put money into the union and I’m going to be very humble in knocking on the man’s door...”

    What’s being done to address spaza shop issue

    The race is on for spaza shop owners in SA to register their businesses after a call by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

In a follow-up to this declaration, the SA Government News Agency said: “All spaza shop owners and vendors must register with their respective municipalities from November 15 to December 13 2024.” In Behind The Herald Headlines with Daron Mann this week, we speak to National African Federated Chamber of Commerce (Nafcoc) Eastern Cape deputy president Mlungisi John.
