Lurker4Long: At first I was shocked competing HSs are poaching each others players but after a rethink I'm not!

kikuyu1: With the advent of televised school rugby, a lot of issues have arisen. Sponsorships, advertising have seen a massive injection of money. Steroid use is on the rise, poaching of players and creative ways to pass on the largesse to schoolboys and coaches. And of course, the poorer schools are left sucking on the hind tit as they lose their best players. BTW, what do you think of the idea floating around to have Kenya, Namibia, Zimbabwe and possibly Uganda joining the Currie Cup and other domestic competitions? We're already seeing talented boys from all those countries playing for various SA schools! Kenya has uncovered their first schoolboy prodigy – Jeff Mutuku. Jeff began playing rugby in 2012 at 12 years old when he attended Kingswood College in South Africa. His development in the South African school system led to selections in the Kenyan u19 and u20 representative sides. 2 Likes |

South Africa is becoming Europe’s alternative to Russian coal Starting in mid-August, European Union countries will stop importing coal from Russia, which means they’ll have to find alternative suppliers. Already, South Africa is one such supplier, and the world’s fifth largest exporter of coal. Between January and May of this year, roughly 40% more tons of coal have been exported to Europe from South Africa’s Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) than were exported in all of 2021, according to Reuters. Recipient countries include Spain, Poland, and Germany, which did not import any South African coal last year, as well as France, which increased its imports sevenfold year-over-year. So far this year, about 15% of all coal exports from Richard’s Bay Coal Terminal went to the European Union (EU), compared to 4% for the whole of 2021. The industry employs about 200,000 people. https://qz.com/africa/2178106/south-africa-is-becoming-europes-alternative-to-russian-coal/

jl115:Seen the sizes of rugby schoolboys nowadays? I was at the Indoor Rock Climbing place in Observatory and several teams (playing some tournament at Bishops) came in. Bloody hell! Anyway, whilst rugby might approximate combat for some of us, I fear we've derailed the thread long enough for others. |

In all the thousands of tacticool operator pics I don't think we've ever seen the cost implications of NVGs-leave it to me! These are latest Gen 3,the capabilities of which are export restricted. "On the same note, it is a violation of ITAR to allow any non-U.S. citizen to look through U.S. Gen3 night vision equipment (even on US Soil). They are also not allowed to have access to any operator’s manuals or documentation, whatsoever, pertaining to US Gen 3 Night Vision Devices. This is a little-known fact about ITAR and Night Vision Devices, but it is true. We have confirmed this with the US State Department and major Night Vision Manufacturers. At TNVC, we take great care to ensure our clients are properly informed on laws and regulations pertaining to night vision.

I was told there'll be a JV at the Ruiru gun factory but could'nt confirm anything.

Indian 'Military Base' In Agalega: New Satellite Imagery Shows Hangars Large Enough To House Navy's Submarine Hunting P-8I Aircraft India is building military infrastructure on Mauritius' Agalega Island to increase its presence in the western Indian Ocean. Over the last few years, a 10,000-foot runway and a jetty have been constructed on the island, which is located over 1,100 kilometre north of the main island of Mauritius. Satellite imagery dated 20 April 2022 shows hangars large enough to house the Indian Navy's P-8I submarine-hunting aircraft are under construction next to the newly-built runway. https://swarajyamag.com/defence/indian-military-base-in-agalega-new-satellite-imagery-shows-hangars-large-enough-to-house-navys-submarine-hunting-p-8i-aircraft 1 Like

Jesus! Watch this with pen and paper. It's only 15 mns yet packed with detail showing how Jean-Fraude has fked Niger since the early 70s paying low royalties, contaminating the environment and transfer pricing uranium sales to Europe based subsidiaries. https://youtu.be/1cVEjh5b2JE The French parastatal Areva, a global giant in designing nuclear power plants has solidified their stranglehold on Niger via legally binding skewed contracts. Eg, of all their uranium mines in Niger, K'stan and Saskatchewan guess which pays by far the lowest royalty? Like I said watch WITH pen and paper. |

South Africa’s agriculture exports up modestly in the first quarter of 2022 The primary external event in the first quarter was the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, which disrupted trade with the Black Sea region. For South Africa, this is important, especially for the horticulture subsector. Russia accounts, on average, for 7% of South Africa’s citrus exports in value terms. And it accounts for 12% of South Africa’s apples and pears exports. Hence, we feared that the impact of the war would instantly show in the trade figures. We now have the trade data for the first quarter of 2022, and positively, exports are up, modestly, by 1% y/y to US$2,96 billion. This is also up by 6% quarter-on-quarter. The top exportable products were grapes, maize, wine, apples and pears, peaches, cherries and apricots, wool, and fruit juices, amongst other products. From a destination point of view, the African continent remained the largest market for South Africa’s agricultural exports in the first quarter of this year, accounting for 41% in value terms. The European Union and Asia each accounted for a 24% share of total exports in value terms, respectively. The United Kingdom is one of the most important agricultural markets for South Africa and accounted for 9% of overall exports in the first quarter. The balance of 2% value constitutes the Americas and other regions of the world. Russia was still a notable export market in the first quarter, accounting for 1% of South Africa’s total agriculture, food and beverages exports and the 21st largest export market. I expect this volume to decline notably in the second quarter data. In sum, South Africa recorded an agricultural trade surplus of US$1,10 billion in the first quarter of 2022, down by 18% from the corresponding period last year. The narrowing of the trade surplus is not only caused by modest exports, as we noted above, but rather the increase in imports value and the higher commodity prices. South Africa is an export-oriented sector, where roughly half of the produce, in value terms, is exported. Therefore, an industry and government approach to promoting South African products in export markets is key. The agriculture and agribusiness role players have already identified the countries the government should prioritise for this sector’s export expansion. These are China, Japan, India, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh. https://wandilesihlobo.com/2022/06/12/south-africas-agriculture-exports-up-modestly-in-the-first-quarter-of-2022/ 1 Like |
