Star-gazers are in for a show this coming June as residents in the Mother City will be able to see a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse.
As far as astronomical events go, 2020 has been an eventful year, from an array of super moons to a meteor shower and now a lunar eclipse.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
On June 5, Cape Town will witness a unique lunar eclipse known as the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse.
During this unusual lunar event the Earth’s main shadow does not cover the moon, instead a lighter shadow is cast over the moon by the edge of the Earth’s shadow.
Often mistaken for a super moon, this kind of eclipse occurs when the sun, moon and the Earth are imperfectly aligned. It is called the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse because the outer part of the Earth’s shadow is known as the Penumbra.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
Starting at 7:45pm on Friday, June 5, the eclipse will reach its maximum at 9.24pm, where half of the moon will be covered by a light shadow.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
The event will come to and end at 11.04pm
Don’t forget to look up at the sky on June 5 and mark you calendar because another Penumbral Lunar Eclipse is expected to be visible from Cape Town on July 5

News put South Africa first
Cyril Ramaphosa | South Africans ‘have a right to approach our courts’ to challenge lockdown regulations
By: illovuonline news team

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
The exercise of the fundamental freedoms of expression, association and speech is a barometer of the good health of our democracy. But much more than that, these rights are essential to the success of our national and collective struggle to overcome the coronavirus, writes President Cyril Ramaphosa in his weekly newsletter.
Dear fellow South African,
We often take our healthy and robust democracy for granted. Yet it is probably our greatest asset in our momentous struggle to overcome the coronavirus pandemic.
We have among the most politically engaged citizenry in the world. A poll in 2018 by the Pew Research Center shows South Africans are strongly inclined to take political action about issues they feel most strongly about, such as health care, education, freedom of speech and corruption.
The poll confirms much that we already know about ourselves. We enjoy nothing more than robust engagement with our government and among ourselves on the burning issues of the day. We have an active civil society ever ready to safeguard our fundamental freedoms and rights.
One of the triumphs of our democracy is that every South African believes the Constitution protects them and that the courts are a fair and impartial arbiter of their interests.
I got thinking on these matters during a recent visit to the Eastern Cape to assess the province’s coronavirus state of readiness.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
I was asked by a journalist whether I was concerned at the pending litigation challenging certain provisions of the Disaster Management Act. This law is the basis for all the regulations promulgated under the national state of disaster we declared to combat coronavirus.
Since the start of this crisis, a number of people have exercised their right to approach the courts. The lockdown regulations were challenged in the very first week of the lockdown by a private citizen from Mpumalanga who wanted an exemption from the travel prohibition to attend a funeral.
In the seven weeks that have followed, there have been legal challenges from a number of individuals, religious bodies, political parties, NGOs and from business organisations against one measure or more of the lockdown provisions they were unhappy with. Some have succeeded in their legal challenges and some have not. Some who had approached the courts on the basis of the urgency of their cases had their urgency arguments dismissed and others have found other avenues for the relief they sought. Others have subsequently withdrawn their applications following engagement with government.
While we would prefer to avoid the need for any legal action against government, we should accept that citizens who are unhappy with whatever action that government has decided on implementing have a right to approach our courts for any form of relief they seek. This is a normal tenet of a constitutional democracy and a perfectly acceptable practice in a country founded on the rule of law.
We have checks and balances in place to ensure that every aspect of governance is able to withstand constitutional scrutiny. Where we are found wanting, we will be held to account by our courts and, above all, by our citizens. Besides our courts, our Chapter 9 institutions exist to advance the rights of citizens, as do the bodies tasked with oversight over the law enforcement agencies.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
As I told the journalist, every South African has a right to approach the courts and even I, as President, could never stand in the way of anybody exercising that right.
There has been, and will continue to be, robust and strident critique of a number of aspects of our national response to coronavirus, from the data modelling and projections, to the economic effects of the lockdown, to the regulations. As government we have neither called for such critique to be tempered or for it to be silenced.
To the contrary, criticism, where it is constructive, helps us to adapt and to move with agility in response to changing circumstances and conditions. It enriches public debate and gives us all a broader understanding of the issues at play.
We have consistently maintained that we rely on scientific, economic and empirical data when it comes to making decisions and formulating regulations around our coronavirus response. To the greatest extent possible under these challenging circumstances, we aim for consultation and engagement. We want all South Africans to be part of this national effort. The voices of ordinary citizens must continue to be heard at a time as critical as this.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
The coronavirus pandemic and the measures we have taken to combat it have taken a heavy toll on our people. It has caused huge disruption and hardship. Although we can point to the progress we have made in delaying the transmission of the virus, there is still a long way to go. The weeks and months ahead will be difficult and will demand much more from our people.
The pandemic will therefore continue to place an enormous strain on our society and our institutions. Even as we gradually open up the economy, the impact on people’s material conditions will be severe. For as long as this is the case, the potential for conflict, discord and dissatisfaction will remain.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
As we navigate these turbulent waters, our Constitution is our most important guide and our most valued protection. Our robust democracy provides the strength and the resilience we need to overcome this deep crisis.
Just as government appreciates that most court applicants are motivated by the common good, so too should we recognise that the decisions taken by government are made in good faith and are meant to advance, and not to harm, the interests of South Africans.
Our foremost priority remains to save lives. Our every decision is informed by the need to advance the rights to life and dignity as set out in our Constitution.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
We will continue to welcome different – even dissenting – viewpoints around our national coronavirus response. All viewpoints aid us and help us to work better and smarter.
The exercise of the fundamental freedoms of expression, association and speech is a barometer of the good health of our democracy. But much more than that, these rights are essential to the success of our national and collective struggle to overcome the coronavirus.

No rituals, no vigils: Funerals not what they used to be before Covid-19 onset
By: illovuonline news team
19-05-2020

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
A worker carries a coffin at a manufacturing plant in Joburg.
The process of burying a loved one is often a week-long affair – the gathering of essentials, family members from far and wide and consultations with the funeral parlour.
At last when all is settled, the family is allowed time to pray over their loved one in a night-long vigil for an easy passing over to the ‘other side’.
Many people will then gather in the morning for the funeral service to pay their last respects. These are funerals as we’ve always known them. But now, all of that has changed following the outbreak of the coronavirus in SA.
The pandemic has changed the way death is handled. It has also changed the way those who deal with death work everyday. It has been a scramble for the funeral industry to adjust to the changes brought by government in its effort to flatten the curve. There can be no more than 50 people at the service, an attendance register is signed and handled by funeral parlours.
No more night vigils. The mortuary cannot keep a body for more than a week. In the event of a Covid-19 death, the body cannot be at the morgue for more than 48 hours.
The body can no longer be sent home the night before the funeral, it’s straight from the morgue to the cemetery, and there are no lengthy funeral services with only an hour suggested. Another thing that has changed is that family members, most common in black communities, can no longer come to “fetch the spirit” of their loved ones.
The new norm has caused anger among the people, according to Raymond Hloni Swart, owner of Hloni’s Funerals in Molapo, Soweto.
Here’s what’s driving Covid-19 infections in Nelson Mandela Bay
Shopping malls, Sassa offices, funerals and private hospitals — these are the drivers of the Covid-19 infections in Nelson Mandela Bay.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
“Normally, on Thursdays, the family will come to dress the body but we don’t allow them to do that anymore [as per regulation].
“Families have a huge problem because some of them want to perform their rituals but we cannot even allow them to do that. It is a challenge for us and them but under the circumstances we have no choice,” he said..
Those funeral parlours who are registered and are represented by a union have dropped their package prices in an attempt to help financially strained communities. Before the pandemic, the entry level package for a funeral was R7,000.
This included the hearse, a family car, tent with 40 chairs, two tables, a toilet and one bus. The other entry level package is R16,000. This consists of two family cars, a big tent with 100 chairs, four tables, a bus and hearse.
“We had to cut down because our packages are based on the coffin. Now if you charge R7,000 on a coffin and you can’t offer a client basically what they used to get, then you have to reduce the price. For example, [in] the R7,000 package, we have to take out the bus, the tent and we have to take out the toilet, so basically you have to sell that package for R4,000 or R3,500.”
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
The decision to remove those services came from the National Funeral Practitioners Association of SA (Nafupa), so as to not encourage people to stay at the funeral and adhere to social distancing.
Swart says before the lockdown, he had 90% of paying members but now only 40% of those clients are paying their policies. “Our policies are month-to-month with the underwriters, so if a person doesn’t pay for two months it’s going to lapse. But we also can’t force money out of them, some of our clients work for themselves, so they pay mostly what they can get.”
Swart said he was still waiting for the government to organise training for undertakers. Fortunately, Nafupa has started organising their own training to assist smaller operators. His business has been affected by the reduction of prices and the cost of buying personal protective equipment (PPE) for his employees.
“It affects us a lot because we struggle. We have to keep our employees at home. It’s also a frustration for them because they’re used to working everyday but now they need to cut down because there won’t be salaries to pay them all.”
South Africans mourn a metre apart as Covid-19 curbs funerals

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
Nafupa president Muzi Hlengwa appealed out to government to talk to them about the regulations.
“The government sat with the taxi industry, on numerous occasions, and has supplied them with sanitisers. But what about us? Why aren’t we given the same attention as other companies?
“They’re not even saying at least a R100m or R1bn will be given to the funeral industry so that we guarantee our peoples health and safety… We are in the front line. Every day we meet people and every day we remove bodies and bury bodies. It’s as if we don’t exist,” he said in exasperation.
Hlengwa said the cost of PPE is astronomical, for just two staff members, they have to change the safety equipment nearly at every step.
“The risk that comes with it is nothing compared to the money we are spending now. As things stand as per body, you will be spending more or less R3,000 on PPEs. The handling of one body, you have two employees, the driver and the assistant going to remove a body from home or hospital or a government mortuary.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
“They both should be in PPEs, as they take the body and put it into the car, they have to dispose their PPEs, everything – shoe covers, masks, gloves, coveralls and head covers. They repeat this shedding of PPEs six times.”
He said the prices of the safety equipment has gone up, stating that they spend close to R85 for a N95 mask when it used to be around R65. Coveralls have gone up to R250, and normal surgical masks (which are not worn by parlour employees) which used to go for R5 are now R20.
“The prices have gone up in a very ridiculous manner, everything is now expensive. It is very expensive for us to be in this industry right now.”
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
Another issue Hlengwa pointed out was the inconsistencies from the regulations.
“They change laws every day and this is what is really worrying us.
“We have trained our members, we tell them follow this… 1, 2, 3… but then the next day it’s another story.”
The regulations still state that the body after being washed and dressed should still be put in a plastic bag. Families can now view the body, provided they’re in PPE.
President of the National Funeral Directors Association Dr Lawrence Konyana said: “One of the biggest hurdles has been [lack of] communication with authorities in terms of clarity on certain regulations.”

Covid-19 update: Cele in hot water over visit, smoking cop goes viral
By: illovuonline news team

Police Minister Bheki Cele has come under fire after allegedly thwarting the same lockdown restrictions he is meant to uphold.
Police Minister Bheki Cele allegedly broke lockdown for a personal visit to fellow Minister Blade Nzimande, but both men deny any wrongdoing.
Illovuonline news explores the latest updates as South Africa continues to endure the coronavirus pandemic. 1. Covid-19: Bheki Cele accused of breaking lockdown to visit Nzimande Police Minister Bheki Cele has found himself at the centre of a possible lockdown violation after he was allegedly spotted at Minister Blade Nzimande’s home.
The minister had been seen possibly paying a personal visit to Nzimande’s KwaZulu-Natal home. However, the report indicated that Cele consistently denied popping over for anything other than business.
The incident happened when Cele invited media representatives to observe the Police Minister conducting a walkabout in Pietermaritzburg, ironically over concerns over possible non-compliance with Level 4 restrictions.
2. Viral video shows cop smoking a ciggie and Mzansi has questions A video has gone viral on social media showing a police officer smoking a cigarette on duty while writing out a ticket. T he footage was shared on South Africa Live’s Facebook page and within just three hours it generated over 45 000 views.
The clip was captioned: “Must be part of the 90% group who got them illegally.” South Africans argued over whether or not the police officer was breaking lockdown regulations. Some said he wasn’t doing anything wrong while other Saffas wanted to know where the cop got the ciggies from.
3. Covid-19: Human rights group wants 24 000 more prisoners released The South African Prisoners Organisation for Human Rights has called on the government to release an additional 24 000 prisoners from jails around the country.
The SABC reports that there are at least 571 confirmed cases of Covid-19 affecting prison officers and inmates. Miles Bhudu, the CEO of the group, has penned an open letter to Ramaphosa in the hopes of engaging with him over the issue: “When we checked the annual report of the documents 2018/2019 there are 162 875 the infrastructure has been built to accommodate anything between 118 000 to 120 000 warm bodies and head count.”

SA part of several initiatives to develop Covid-19 vaccine: Cyril Ramaphosa

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
President Cyril Ramaphosa, also the current AU chair, addressed the 73rd World Health Assembly on Monday – the first ever to be convened virtually.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
SA is participating in several research initiatives with continental and international partners as part of the global effort to develop, manufacture and distribute a Covid-19 vaccine, says President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa, who is also the current African Union (AU) chair, made the remark at the 73rd World Health Assembly — the first ever to be convened virtually.
“To turn back the frontiers of the pandemic, we also need to deepen international collaboration around research and development and investment in essential medical technologies in Covid-19 diagnostics and therapeutics and in vaccines,” said Ramaphosa.
“We fully support the initiative by the WHO [World Health Organisation] — together with many governments, non-profit organisations and industry leaders — to speed up the development and production of vaccines and therapeutics, and to ensure that they are distributed quickly and equitably across the globe.”
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
He said there must also be equitable access to medical equipment, technologies and best practices to combat Covid-19.
Africa is extremely vulnerable to the ravages of the coronavirus, he said, and needed every possible type of support and assistance, including much-needed resources, to bolster its response and offset a potentially devastating social and economic fallout.
Ramaphosa said the AU has taken very deliberate steps to respond to the pandemic, including developing a comprehensive strategy and establishing a Covid-19 Response Fund.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
The union has also embarked on a fundraising drive to strengthen the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
“To date, we have raised a combined amount of $61m [R1.12bn] for the Response Fund and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. The African Union has made a call for developing countries to be assisted in their efforts to combat the pandemic and to rebuild their economies,” he said.
He said this assistance needed to include debt relief, more special drawing rights (SDR) allocations with the international financial institutions, and the provision of comprehensive and robust stimulus packages to vulnerable countries.

Former Golden Arrows captain Nkanyiso Mngwengwe has passed away.
In a statement, Arrows confirmed that Mngwengwe passed away in the early hours of Monday.
While the club’s statement didn’t disclose the cause of the defender’s death, SowetanLIVE has reliably learnt that he was surprisingly found lifeless at his home in Cato Ridge near Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, having never reported any illness.
Arrows chairwoman Mato Madlala expressed sadness and exalted the deceased defender as a hero who was enthusiastic. “I am saddened by the passing away of Nkanyiso. I remember when he first arrived at Arrows as a promising footballer, full of energy, he was always ready to fight,” said Madlala in the statement.
Despite skippering the Durban side last season, Mngwengwe was yet to feature this season, with Trevor Mathiane inheriting the armband.
“Sgora”, as Mngwengwe was effectionately known to his peers, joined Arrows in 2013 from amateur side Umngeni City FC. The solid centre-back went on to play over 100 top-flight games for Abafana Bes’thende before his untimely death.

57-year-old man in island country confirmed as first death
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
Madagascar has recorded its first coronavirus death, local media reported on Sunday.
The case is a 57-year-old man, a parking lot security officer at a hospital in the city of Toamasina, according to local daily L’Express de Madagascar.
The Indian Ocean island also reported 21 new cases, bringing the total number of cases to 304.
The first death comes weeks after the country’s President Andry Rajoelina launched Covid Organics (CVO), an organic herbal drink he claims can prevent or cure coronavirus patients.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
The World Health Organization (WHO) had warned against the use of CVO without any medical supervision and cautioned against self-medication.
The WHO on Thursday said it is in touch with Madagascar over its herbal drink.
”We have offered to support the design of a study to look into this product [Covid Organics],” Matshidiso Moeti, the regional director of WHO office in Africa, told a media briefing.
Since the virus emerged in Wuhan, China last December, it has spread to 188 countries and regions.
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/
The global death toll from the novel coronavirus has exceeded 312,200, with more than 4.65 million confirmed cases and recoveries have surpassed 1.7 million, according to a running tally by US-based Johns Hopkins University.
