But Mbeki long seemed a powerful advocate for democracy and good governance within the party. As Nelson Mandela’s deputy, he built a reputation for honesty, helping build up the National Prosecuting Office and establishing an elite team of lawyers and investigators, called the Scorpions, to root out corruption and graft....
However, both the teams would be keen to take the unassailable lead with a stunning performance over the next five days. The home side would be riding high after Kagiso Rabada’s suspension was overturned. The return of the 22-year-old bowler, who bagged 11 wickets in 2nd Test means that home side is almost guaranteed to be at full-strength, bar last-minute injury. The team can now focus firmly on the cricket as they look for their first ever series win against Australia on home soil....

The game ended with Fulham fans protesting against manager Claudio Ranieri, with the team now 10 points from safety with 10 games to go. First-half goals from Oriol Romeu and James Ward-Prowse lifted Southampton above Cardiff into 17th place.

The London club is 19th and looks increasingly likely to go back down in the Championship along with last-place Huddersfield....
On Sunday, mudslides trapped dozens of cars near Los Angeles. The following day, a 2.6-magnitude earthquake rumbled through Canoga Park, also in Southern California, and later that afternoon, San Bernardino police rescued a mother and her children from flash floods.

The manager named his 23-man panel for Russia on Wednesday, including uncapped Liverpool youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold. Although the team is short of international experience, boasting an average of only 19.5 caps, he is eager that his players believe they can bring home the trophy. Indeed, he believes his youthful squad will provide his side with qualities that they might otherwise have lacked. “I think it’s being fearless in how we want to play, being brave enough to put people in and not think: ‘Well, he’s the best player but he’s young, maybe we should pick a lesser player who’s a bit more experienced,’” he said....
For the uninitiated, Trump proposed a tariff increase from 10% to 25% on electronics such as video game consoles that are made in China a few months ago as part of the U.S-China trade war.

Since the Fortnite error message, Sony has been pressured to respond to what most feel is the company’s fault. In a statement to the BBC, a Sony representative issued the following regarding the accusations: Unfortunately for Sony, this statement essentially dances around the issue, even missing any sort of acknowledgment of the actual problem.

While many fans were able to jump onto their Switch consoles, log in to their Epic Games account, and continue where they left off, those attempting to play on a PS4 linked account weren’t so lucky.
