Zimbabwe: ZIFA Hike Gate Charges for Cosafa TieZIFA have increased the gate charges for the Cosafa Castle Cup semi-final match against Angola scheduled for the National Sports Stadium on September 17. The V.I.P Enclosure has been pegged at $5 000 with bays 15-18 costing $1 500 while the rest of the ground ticket will cost $500. Zifa board member for finance Gladmore Muzambi confirmed the prices. "We were very considerate, this is only the first home game of the season so we just looked at the importance of the game and pegged the prices at a fee good for the owners of the game. "In coming up with the prices, we did not look at inflation as a major factor and also given that the league games in this country are going at $400 for the rest of the ground, I think $500 would be reasonable for the national team. "This would actually be termed cheap because we are playing a team that was at this year's edition of the World Cup so those were the main reasons," said Muzambi. read more.

Mauritius: Muzzling The PressOn 8 August 1974, Richard Nixon was forced to submit his resignation as President of the most powerful nation on earth, militarily as well as economically: the USA. No power on earth could save him from humiliation. It was the unraveling of the greatest political scandal in modern times, known as "Watergate", brought to the notice of the public by the courageous investigative journalism of two reporters from the Washington Post. This event not only vindicated the strength of press freedom but also the value and the power of what Edmund Burke called the Fourth Estate, more powerful than the other three: the Legislative, the Executive and the Judiciary. The French would call it "le quatrième pouvoir" or "le contre-pouvoir". No wonder the power wielded by the press is not to the liking of governments and people who would like to enjoy absolute power and indulge in corruption. read more. Mauritius: Open Letter to The Minister of LabourThe Federation of civil service and other unions strongly condemn the situation prevailing at Aleemiah college, Phoenix, and particularly with regard to the continuous harassment of teachers, and violation of fundamental human rights. It has been brought to our attention that the teaching staff has been subjected to a queer and disgraceful treatment whereby they have to keep silent and not to utter a single word to outside authorities, and to trade unions on issues pertaining to the college. To this effect, the chief patron of Halkae Quadria Ishat- I -Islam, in presence of the top management of the college, has compelled the staff to take an oath of secrecy. This reprehensive practice is unprecedented in the Republic of Mauritius and constitutes a blatant violation of human rights, and is contrary to articles 12 and 13 of the Constitution. read more. Goldman Sachs Fined by India Regulator for Violations (Update1)Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was fined 10 million rupees ($216,268) for violating India's securities rules, the regulator for nation's capital markets said. Goldman Sachs Investment (Mauritius) Ltd. broke rules by allowing an overseas corporate body to invest in the Indian stock market through an account of an overseas institutional investor, the Securities and Exchange Board of India said on its Web site late yesterday.

It also imposed a monthlong suspension on the operations of the Indian brokerage unit of Credit Suisse Group, Switzerland's second-biggest bank, for breaching regulations relating to stock trades. read more. African airlines push hard to tackle bad imageNAIROBI (Reuters) - Long viewed as the most dangerous place to fly, Africa is pushing hard to clean up its image and some well-managed airlines are taking advantage of new opportunities to turn in impressive profits. Africa has the highest rate of aircraft accidents in the world despite the fact that it accounts for just 4.5 percent of global traffic. It recorded 30 percent of all air transport accidents between 1996 and last year. Africans say a decision by the European Union to blacklist airlines from operating in the 25-nation bloc has only worsened the continent's image and handed European travellers a reason to give African carriers a wide berth. This has prompted governments to introduce stiffer safety rules and ban ageing aircrafts, bringing some positive results. read more. Mauritius Will Work With India Over Tax TreatyFollowing recent signs that the Indian government is about to give in to pressure from minority partners and from Singapore to review its DTAA with Mauritius, that country's Minister of Finance, Rama Sithanen Mauritius said on Tuesday he was willing to co-operate with India to prevent misuse of the treaty. "Let me state very clearly that we will collaborate to prevent any alleged misuse of the treaty," said Mr Sithanen, at a news conference on a trip to New Delhi. "But keeping in view historical, cultural, political and diplomatic ties between the two countries we need a global solution that will not penalise Mauritius." The long-running battle between the Indian Government and the country's tax authorities over the India/Mauritius tax treaty took a new turn last month when un-named officials said that a fresh attempt would be made to tighten the treaty to prevent evasion of Indian capital gains tax. read more.We are committed to deliver the most weighty content matter on the net to you in a primary well-organized website.
