 On Tuesday, China and Vietnam reached a strategic understanding to establish a community with a common destiny, paving the way for future increased friendship and cooperation. There has been a long-standing and solid partnership between the two Asian neighbors.

 One thing that all South Africans take great pride in is spending quality time with loved ones around a fire while indulging in food, beverages, and stimulating conversation. Whether you refer to it as a braai or shisanyama, we can all agree that this age-old South African tradition has earned its spot at the top of our celebratory activities. Matome Maphala, the creator of Matswi Braai Stands, is among many who have influenced this tradition. Maphala and his elder brother were sitting in their garden in September 2017, following Maphala's completion of his apprenticeship in electrical trade. An ancient geyser was lying on the ground. After examining it, I came up with a suggestion, which I shared with my brother: let's construct. The firm uses used geysers to make smokers and braai stands. They also produce built-in braai stands and built-in fireplaces. In addition to serving as their workplace, their family yard in Seshego is where the braai stands are made. According to Map...

Thousands of gamers from over the country flocked to Cape Town last month to participate in Call of Duty and Fifa competitions, which were held over two days. "I don't know what to say. We knew we were the least prepared of the four teams present. The last-minute roster alterations were mostly to blame for this. Bux remarked, "We definitely felt amazing after winning." The 23-year-old said that he began playing Call of Duty as a pastime in 2010 and discovered the game's competitive element seven years later.

 Banyana Banyana is challenged by Desiree Ellis to score the next goal. After defeating Tanzania's "Twigas stars" 3-0 on Friday, Banyana Banyana has to regroup and not get too caught up in their own success.

KZN and Gauteng battlegrounds as ANC's future litmus test.

-
 KZN and Gauteng battlegrounds as ANC's future litmus test Bheki Mngomezulu, Prof. The general election date for this year is May 29, according to a Tuesday announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa. This came after discussions over their level of preparedness to hold this election with the Premiers of each of the nine provinces and the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC). An statement like this put an end to rumors regarding the numerous dates that individuals had proposed for the election day. While it is true that each of the nine provinces may influence the outcome of the election in favor of any political party, some of the key elements that set some provinces apart in this regard are their respective populations and economic standing. The economic activity of these two leading provinces is the second cause. When it comes to its GDP (gross domestic product) contribution, Gauteng is the province that performs the best. KZN comes in second place once more. In subsurface m...

-
 President Cyril Ramaphosa has dangled a carrot, offering 2.5 million employment possibilities to the Tintswalos in the next five years, in an attempt to entice the youth to vote ANC in the May 2024 elections. Additionally, Ramaphosa said that the 8 million jobless beneficiaries—the majority of whom are young people—would get an increase in the R350 social relief of distress award from the ruling party. Born on April 27, 1994, Tintswalo is Ramaphosa's fictional born-free girl child. She was raised in an ANC government-funded RDP home, got a child grant, attended a free public school, received free healthcare, attended university and TVET through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, and is now a successful professional with a family of her own. He admitted in the February State of the Nation Address that some young people were having difficulty finding jobs and were dependent on the R350 unemployment stipend. Over 8 million people nationwide will get the R350 award, with Finan...

His DNA was used to connect him to the crimes. Colonel Adéle Myburgh, the spokesperson for the North West police, stated that...

Banyana defeated Tanzania to get one step closer to the dream of the Paris Olympics.

-
 Banyana defeated Tanzania to get one step closer to the dream of the Paris Olympics. Banyana Banyana, who led 1-0 at halftime, put on a workmanlike display to defeat Tanzania's Twiga Stars 3-0 in Friday's Olympic third round first leg qualifier in Dar es Salaam. The South African national women's team will enter the second match with a commanding 3-0 lead at the Mbombela Stadium on Tuesday. Tanzania would need to score four goals and hold Banyana Banyana scoreless on Tuesday in order to prevent Banyana Banyana from moving on to the next round of qualifying. For a place to the Paris tournament, the winner of the South Africa vs. Tanzania match will compete against the Cameroon versus Nigeria winner. Since Rio in 2016, the South African women have failed to qualify for the Olympics. They were not selected for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. But Banyana Banyana have been trending upwards ever since. They advanced to the FIFA Women's World Cup round of 16 in 2022 and won the Wom...

30 people trapped and six dead in an avalanche in Afghanistan: regional official.

-
 30 people trapped and six dead in an avalanche in Afghanistan: regional official Overnight on Sunday, an avalanche raced through the village of Nakre in the Tatin Valley of Nuristan, covering houses in debris and snow. Hashimi said that about 20 residences were completely demolished or severely damaged. The chairman of the province's public works department, Maulvi Mohammad Nabi Adel, stated, "the helicopter cannot land in Nuristan due to clouds and rain." He also mentioned that snow had blocked one of the main highways entering the region, making "the rescue operation difficult." Afghanistan is among the poorest nations on earth; it has seen decades of conflict, is prone to natural disasters, and is at risk from extreme weather brought on by climate change. After the US-led invasion, Afghanistan was once awash in humanitarian help; but, since the Taliban retook power in the middle of 2021, funding to the country has drastically decreased, partly due to the num...

Mashatile: The Transnet CEO candidate has not been rejected by the ANC deployment committee.

-
 Mashatile: The Transnet CEO candidate has not been rejected by the ANC deployment committee. Michelle Phillips, the CEO candidate for Transnet, has not been disqualified by the ANC Deployment Committee on the grounds that she is "not black enough". Phillips continues to lead the race for the position. The delay is a result of due diligence and screening procedures carried out by the government. Visit the main page of News24 Business for other financial news. The standard vetting and due diligence procedures that are followed when appointing top executives to the public service and state-owned enterprises are to blame for the delay in the appointment of new executives at Transnet, not the ANC's Deployment Committee.  At the end of January, the Transnet board finalized its proposals for the Transnet Freight Division (TFR) CEO, CFO, and CEO. Phillips and Solly Letsoalo, the CEO of Cargo Carriers, who served as Transnet's chief operating officer (COO) from 2005 to 2009, ...
