Former Transnet chief financial officer (CFO) Anoj Singh admitted during his testimony at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture on Friday, to having four safety vaults to store large amounts of cash and other valuables at Knox Vault in Killarney, Johannesburg.
Singh, who is implicated in dodgy dealings with the Guptas, told the commission’s chair Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo that he needed the safety deposit boxes for four of his family members.

It is becoming clear that one of the most astute – cunning is more accurate – moves Jacob Zuma made in the days before he vacated the presidency in early 2018 was to leave a poison pill for his successor, Cyril Ramaphosa, to swallow.
And that was the promise by Zuma that the state would provide free tertiary education. At the time, he would have known very well that the government did not have enough money to make good on that promise.

Patrice Motsepe was on Friday confirmed as the new president of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) at the Caf Elective Congress in Morocco.
Motsepe’s election was guaranteed from the moment his rivals , Senegal’s Augustin Senghor‚ Mauritanian Ahmed Yahya and Jacques Anouma of the Ivory Coast pulled out of the race, with Fifa reportedly backing the Mamelodi Sundowns owner, who becomes the first South African to take charge of the continental game.
Sign-in page for Netflix requires users names to prevent password sharing.
Various Netflix users noticed some surprises when logging onto the streaming portal, and were met with a message that read: “If you don’t live with the owner of this account, you need your account to keep watching.”
This lead many to assume the streaming service was purging users who share too many accounts and do not pay for the streaming service. It’s become commonplace for people to share various accounts to avoid paying for the service.
The new record holder, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS
I have been doing dedicated performance road testing for almost 20 years now. I have seen fast cars come and go, but nothing has gone as quick as Porsche’s 911 GT2 RS. And here is the data to prove it…
No car supplied by an OEM, that I have tested, has done a 0 to 100 km/h time in the sub three-second bracket. No GT-R, no AMG, no Ferrari, no other Porsche, no matter the claim or the car, this has remained unconquered territory. Until now that is!
