Mandela family in court fight over burial locations

Posted:

MTHATHA (AFP) - As Nelson Mandela fights for his life in hospital, his relatives are pitted against each other in a legal battle, reportedly over where members of the family should be buried.On Friday, sixteen members of the Mandela family brought an urgent application to a regional court, reportedly to force Mandela's grandson Mandla to return remains of family members to a plot in the ancestral village where Mandela has said he wants to be buried.Mandla, a local chief in nearby Mvezo, had exhumed the remains of three of Mandela's children in Qunu in 2011 and brought them to his village, allegedly without the consent of the rest of the family.I have been instructed by the 16 family members including (daughters) Makaziwe and Zindzi to take action against Mandla, the family lawyer Wesley Heyes said.Heyes refused to comment on the reason for the legal tussle, but local media said it was about a long-running feud over the remains.We can't say anything further due to the sensitivity of the case, said Heyes.The court was told that a sheriff delivered the paper to Mandla's homestead and found the gates locked. The papers were nailed to the gate after several unsuccessful attempts to hand them over.The sheriff hooted and called Mandla on his phone, which was not answered, said one of the Mandela lawyers David Smith.Mandla's spokesman Freddy Pilusa said he was not able to comment on the case. He hasn't been served with those papers so he wouldn't be able to comment.The controversial removal of graves has recently came into the spotlight following reported family squabbles over the final resting place of the ailing Mandela.The hastily removed graves belonged to Mandela's eldest son Thembekile who died in 1969, his nine-month-old infant Makaziwe who passed away in 1948, and Mandla's own father Magkatho who died from an AIDS related illness in 2005.The trio were reburied under the cover of darkness in Mvezo, in a ceremony overseen by Mandla.The issue of the graves was also at the centre of a family meeting earlier this week.On Thursday local media reported that Makaziwe, Mandela's oldest daughter, was granted permission by a chief in Qunu to have the remains repatriated. Mandla had reportedly argued Mandela should be buried in Mvezo.

Bombs in Iraq kill 19 people

BAGHDAD (AP) - Bombs in Iraq targeting a checkpoint run by government-allied Sunni militiamen, a Shiite tribal leader's funeral and a soccer field killed at least 19 people on Friday, in the latest strikes by militants seeking to destabilize the country.Iraq is in the midst of its deadliest and most sustained wave of violence since 2008, raising fears the nation is returning to the widespread sectarian-charged bloodshed that pushed it to the brink of civil war in 2006 and 2007. More than 2,000 people have been killed in bombings and other violent attacks since the start of April.The deadliest attack, which killed at least 11, struck the militia checkpoint shortly before midday in the village of Zangoura, which is just south of the former insurgent stronghold of Ramadi, some 115 kilometers (70 miles) west of Baghdad, according to police.The checkpoint was manned by members of the Sahwa, who are Sunni militiamen that joined forces with U.S. troops to fight al-Qaida during the Iraq War. They remain on the Shiite-led central government's payroll for security forces, making them an occasional target for Sunni insurgents who consider them traitors.One bomb, apparently planted by the side of the road, was the source of the initial blast. A second detonated as villagers rushed to help the victims of the first explosion, police said.In the town of Dujail, 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Baghdad, a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden car into a tent set up to welcome mourners at the funeral of a local Shiite tribal leader.Dujail mayor Naif al-Khazraji and Ali al-Haidari, a senior security official in the town, said the blast killed at least four and wounded four others. Al-Khazraji said those killed included a police captain who tried to shoot the bomber before he detonated his explosives.Dujail is a predominantly Shiite town surrounded by mostly Sunni communities.Shortly after unset, police said a bomb went off near a soccer field in the Shiite-majority town of Madain just south of Baghdad, killing 4 people and wounding 15 others.There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Al-Qaida in Iraq frequently deploys car bombs and coordinated explosives, and often targets Shiites and security forces, including Sahwa members.Police and hospital officials confirmed the casualties. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.Earlier Friday, Iraqi officials raised the death toll from a series of bombings late Thursday that targeted soccer fans watching the Confederations Cup semifinal between Spain and Italy in cafes in and around Baghdad. They put the number of those killed at 36.The deadliest attack, which killed 20 people, took place at a large cafe in the city of Baqouba, 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad. The assailants staggered the blasts, apparently so that the second one a car bomb would kill people rushing to help those hurt in the initial explosion. Rescue teams found several bodies only on Friday morning, police said.Other attacks late Thursday struck cafes in Baghdad and the Shiite town of Jbala south of the capital.

Murray cruises, Stakhovsky crashes at Wembledon

Posted:

LONDON (AFP) - Andy Murray kept his campaign to become Britain's first Wimbledon champion since 1936 comfortably on course Friday but Sergiy Stakhovsky, the shock conqueror of Roger Federer, crashed out.Murray, the second seed, breezed past Spanish veteran Tommy Robredo, the 32nd seed, 6-2, 6-4, 7-5.The US Open champion goes on to tackle either Russian 20th seed Mikhail Youzhny, now the highest-ranked player left in his half of the draw, or Serbia's Viktor Troicki for a place in the quarter-finals.Murray, playing beneath the comfort of the Centre Court roof, fired 40 winners and nine aces past the 31-year-old Robredo.Upsets are never far away and you have to be very focused on your game to avoid that, said Murray, who has seen Federer, Rafael Nadal, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Marin Cilic all removed from his path to the final.People are putting even more pressure on me because of the nature of how the draw has worked out.It would be a lot easier if we just concentrated on each match at a time.Stakhovsky, the world number 116, who sent seven-time champion Federer crashing out in the second round, went down 6-2, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 to experienced Austrian Jurgen Melzer.Instead of the Centre Court, where he had ended Federer's run of 36 successive quarter-final appearances at the majors, Stakhovsky was exiled to Court Three where his challenge wasn't helped by falling heavily on the slippery surface.That required his ankle to be strapped and his challenge petered out as 32-year-old Melzer reached the fourth round for the second time where he will meet dangerous Pole, Jerzy Janowicz.I was possibly not prepared mentally because everybody expects you to play better after you beat Roger, said Stakhovsky.The 24th-seeded Janowicz made the fourth round for the first time by beating Spanish 15th seed Nicolas Almagro, 7-6 (8/6), 6-3, 6-4.Spanish fourth seed David Ferrer reached the third round with a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7/4), 7-5 win over compatriot Roberto Bautista Agut in match held over from Thursday because of rain.I had a little pain in my ankle but it's not a problem, said Ferrer, who made the last-eight in 2012.Heavy rain delayed play on the outside courts with Bulgarian 29th seed Grigor Dimitrov staging a temporary sit-down protest to register his anger at conditions on Court Three before he lost a five-set, second round thriller.Dimitrov, watched by superstar girlfriend Maria Sharapova, who was knocked out on Wednesday, went out 3-6, 7-6 (7/4), 3-6, 6-4, 11-9 to Slovenia's Grega Zemlja.When the tie resumed following Thursday's suspension, 22-year-old Dimitrov slipped and fell in his service action at 8-9 in the final set to give up the third match point of the tie.He then stomped off to the sidelines and sat in his courtside chair for 10 minutes waiting for the conditions to improve.But it didn't change Dimitrov's luck as Zemlja took victory on a sixth match point.When I slipped, I fell down, I hurt my hip. I told the umpire, I'm not serving, said Dimitrov.Zemlja, the first Slovenian to make the third round at Wimbledon, goes on to face Argentina's eighth seed Juan Martin del Potro for a place in the last 16.Britain's Laura Robson reached the third round of the women's singles with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Colombian qualifier Mariana Duque-Marino and next meets Marina Erakovic of New Zealand.I've lost to her on grass before. She's got a big game, a huge serve, a good slice as well. Pretty much a perfect game for grass, Robson said.Kaia Kanepi of Estonia, a quarter-finalist in 2010, knocked out German seventh seed, Angelique Kerber, who made the semi-finals last year, 3-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-3.I had my chances in the second set but I didn't take them, said Kerber, who was 5/1 up in the tiebreaker. The bottom half of the women's draw has also been thrown open after world number two Victoria Azerenka withdrew with a knee injury and world number three, Sharapova slumped to a shock defeat against Portuguese qualifier Michelle Larcher De Brito.The highest-ranked player left in that section is the 2011 champion Petra Kvitova, seeded eighth, who was trailing Ekaterina Makarova, the Russian 25th seed, 2-1 in the final set of their third round clash when play was suspended due to darkness.Larcher De Brito was unable to capitalise on her win over Sharapova as she lost 7-5, 6-2 to Italy's world number 104 Karin Knapp.Knapp will face France's 2007 runner-up Marion Bartoli who put out Italy's Camila Giorgi, 6-4, 7-5.

Host Turkey beats Australia to reach U20 knockout

Posted:

ISTANBUL (AP) - Turkey rallied to beat Australia 2-1 in their final Group C match at the Under-20 World Cup on Friday to join group winner Colombia in the knockout stage.Turkey midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu scored with a diagonal strike into the far corner and Okay Yokuslu added a 20-meter (yard) chip over Australia goalkeeper Paul Izzo after Jamie Maclaren had given Australia the lead in the 52nd minute with a shot from inside the area.The host will play France in the round of 16 on Tuesday.Australia failed to go beyond the group stage for a fourth straight time and hasn't won a match in the competition since 2003.Colombia won the group after defeating El Salvador 3-0. Andres Renteria opened the scoring for the South American champions in the 21st and Jhon Cordoba converted a penalty four minutes later after he was brought down by El Salvador defender Olivier Ayala. Juan Quintero scored the third in injury time.Earlier Friday, Greece and Paraguay drew 1-1 in their final Group D match, which was enough for both teams to advance to the first knockout round.They ended with identical records, and drawing of lots saw Greece anointed group winner.Striker Dimitrios Diamantakos gave tournament newcomer Greece the lead in the 68th minute before Brian Montenegro leveled five minutes later. Paraguay was reduced to 10 men after 24 minutes when defender Gustavo Gomez received a second yellow card.In the other Group D match, Mexico bounced back from losing its opening two matches and defeated Mali 4-1. Mexico finished third to leave itself a chance of also reaching the last 16, while Mali has been eliminated.Marco Bueno and Jesus Corona scored in the first 13 minutes to give Mexico a comfortable early lead. The South Americans squandered several more chances before Samba Diallo reduced Mali's deficit with a 20-meter (yard) volley in the 62nd.Jesus Escoboza scored seven minutes later and Uvaldo Luna made it 4-1 in the 86th to improve Mexico's chances of advancing as goal difference will likely become a decisive factor.

Sepp Blatter pledges $100M to Brazil

Posted:

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - FIFA President Sepp Blatter responded Friday to criticism of the cost of staging the World Cup in Brazil by pledging to give at least $100 million from profits back to the country.World football's governing body gave South Africa $100 million to invest in development projects after the 2010 World Cup, but had not previously said it would establish a similar social fund after the 2014 tournament to Brazil.The Confederations Cup, which serves as a World Cup warm-up event, has been marred by protesters denouncing billions of dollars spent to host the World Cup money some say should be going toward improving public services.We have left a legacy (in South Africa), a special fund of $100 million, this fund is controlled by the Football (Association) of (South) Africa, the government of South Africa and FIFA, Blatter said in Rio de Janeiro. I am sure an amount like that, or even higher, will be possible to have here ... the aim from FIFA is not to take profit out of the country, but to put into the country.Blatter acknowledged social unrest that has rocked Brazil while the tournament has been taking place.Hope is one of the elements of football ... we play football nowadays in all perturbed countries in all the world, Blatter said. And not only in the perturbed countries where there are many (security) situations, like in Syria or in Afghanistan where we play football, but also (where) there is some social unrest.Look at European countries, there is social unrest there are demonstrations in Portugal, France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Greece.

Motorcycling: Lorenzo still hopes to race despite injury

Posted:

ASSEN (AFP) - World champion Jorge Lorenzo is hoping to defy the odds and ride in Saturdays Dutch MotoGP, barely 24 hours after undergoing surgery on a broken collarbone, his Yamaha team said on Friday.The Spaniard, who underwent an operation in Barcelona early Friday morning after a high-speed crash in practice on Thursday, returned to the Assen circuit and fully intends to ride if he is passed fit by doctors.He will have a medical on Saturday morning and then the team will discuss the possibility of him riding in the race in the afternoon, the team announced.The rules state that a rider can compete in a race 24 hours after being given an anaesthetic, and Lorenzo has still not been officially withdrawn from the race, so the door remains open for him.But he will have to convince doctors that he is in a fit condition to ride early on Saturday morning before the days warm-up laps.Lorenzo crashed at high speed in rain-hit practice on Thursday, fracturing his left collarbone, and underwent surgery successfully before flying back to Assen.His surprise return to the circuit indicated he might try to compete in the race after all, mindful of the narrow seven-point gap between him and championship leader Dani Pedrosa.Even though he skipped qualifying, Lorenzos best time in practice before his accident would allow him to start in 12th place on the grid.Michele Zasa, the doctor who carried out the surgery, told Yamaha: The operation, made difficult because of the complexity of the fracture, lasted two hours (from 0200 to 0400 local time), during which time we inserted a titanium plate and eight screws to fix together parts of the collarbone.Briton Cal Crutchlow sprang a surprise as the Yamaha rider finishing fastest in final qualifying to secure his first-ever pole.He is joined on the front row by Honda duo Marc Marquez and Stefan Bradl for this seventh leg of the championship.

Oil prices slip after strong rallies

Posted:

NEW YORK CITY (AFP) - Global oil prices fell modestly on Friday after strong rallies this week in a bout of profit-taking ahead of the weekend.New York's main contract, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light sweet crude for August, closed at $96.56 a barrel, down 49 cents from Thursday.In London trade, Brent North Sea crude for delivery in August shed 66 cents to settle at $102.16 a barrel.The New York benchmark WTI contract fell sharply in late-session trade as traders booked profits from solid gains piled up over the past four sessions, Matt Smith of Schneider Electric said.We had a very strong rebound this week given what we had last week so it is fairly natural to see some profit taking, and people acted at the last minute to do that, Smith said.Part of the decline was due to a strengthening dollar, he said. A stronger US unit makes dollar-priced crude oil less attractive to investors using weaker currencies.The publication of a mixed batch of US economic indicators also weighed on market sentiment. The University of Michigan's US consumer sentiment index was revised higher in June, while a Chicago regional manufacturing activity report for June was weaker than expected.

Dollar firms on Fed official's September easing hint

Posted:

NEW YORK CITY (AFP) - The dollar gained ground on Friday after a senior Federal Reserve official pointed to September as the date the central bank could begin winding down its massive asset purchases.The euro fell to $1.3013 around 2100 GMT, down from $1.3038 late Thursday.The greenback also firmed against the Japanese currency, to 99.11 yen from 98.35 yen Thursday, while the euro rose to 128.99 yen from 128.23 yen.Kathy Lien of BK Asset Management said the dollar was boosted by comments from Jeremy Stein, a member of the Fed board of governors and the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).Stein suggested in a speech in New York that the central bank could make a decision to begin slowing its stimulus program within three months.Stein specifically cited September in an example explaining that accumulated economic data for the past year, and not just the most recent data, would determine whether the FOMC decides to taper the bond purchases.That really got investors excited, she said.This specific comment about September sparked speculation that this will be the month when the Fed starts tapering, she said.The dollar is expected to benefit when the Fed eventually begins to taper the buying, which it has conditioned on continued improvement in the economy.The dollar slipped a bit against the Swiss currency, to 0.9446 franc from 0.9450 franc.But it rose against the pound, which bought $1.5202, down from $1.5257 late Thursday.

West Indies beat Sri Lanka by 6 wickets in tri-series

Posted:

KINGSTON (AP) - Experienced opener Chris Gayle slammed 109 off 100 balls Friday as West Indies romped to a six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the opening one-day cricket international in the tri-nation Celkon Mobile Cup at Sabina Park.The 33-year-old Gayle blasted nine fours and seven sixes in posting his 21st one-day century as the hosts successfully chased down Sri Lanka's modest total of 208 all out off 48.3 overs.West Indies finished on 209-4 off 37.5 overs, ensuring they earned a bonus point in the tri-nation event that also includes India.Gayle and Johnson Charles laid the platform for victory with an opening stand of 115 in 20.2 overs. Charles chipped in with 29.Earlier, ace spinner Sunil Narine grabbed 4-40 and fast bowler Ravi Rampaul took 3-38 to restrict the visitors to a below-par total on a true surface.Captain Angelo Mathews top-scored with an unbeaten 55 for the visitors, while veteran Mahela Jayawardene chipped in with 52.West Indies, which won the toss, fought back well after an opening stand of 62 in 13 overs between Jayawardene and left-hander Upul Tharanga.Captain Dwayne Bravo made the initial breakthrough by claiming Tharanga for 25 to an edge through to wicket-keeper Denesh Ramdin.West Indies stifled the Sri Lankans after that through Narine, the miserly Darren Sammy (10-0-34-0) and Rampaul.The long-serving pair of Jayawardene and Sangakkara were both prized out by Narine, the world's No. 1-ranked bowler.Jayawardene struck seven fours in a run-a-ball 52 before he tried to tuck to leg and spooned a catch off bat and pad for Ramdin to collect in the leg side.Sangakkara (17) followed at 104-3, the left-hander lofting a drive straight to Kieron Pollard at extra cover.When part-time off-spinner Marlon Samuels grabbed the scalp of vice-captain Dinesh Chandimal (21), who chipped to midwicket, the visitors were 140-4 in the 32nd over and never fully recovered.Mathews fought a lone hand as no other batsman reached double figures.Fast bowler Rampaul ripped through the late middle order in the batting powerplay, removing Lahiru Thirimanne and Nuwan Kulasekara cheaply.Thirimanne lofted a slower ball to long-off while Kulasekara top-edged to deep backward square leg.Narine claimed Jeevan Mendis and Rampaul added the wicket of Rangana Herath before the Sri Lankans limped past 200.Narine claimed his fourth wicket with a doosra to have Lasith Malinga lbw and Bravo wrapped up the innings by having last man Ajantha Mendis caught at slip.Mathews remained not out after hitting five fours off 77 balls.West Indies skipper Bravo finished with 2-37.Gayle, in front of a few thousand countrymen in the stands, dominated the run pursuit with some typically forceful strokes even as his partner Charles struggled for fluency.The powerful left-hander raced to fifty off 47 balls, with five fours and four sixes and the partnership passed three figures as none of the Sri Lankans were able to make an impact.They should have claimed Charles when he was just two but skipper Mathews dropped a sitter at midwicket off Nuwan Kulasekara.Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath did scalp the right-hander to give Sri Lanka some hope but there was no stopping Gayle.He eventually fell to a top-edge off spinner Ajantha Mendis but by then, the hosts were in sight of victory.Darren Bravo was run out for 27 and Kieron Pollard fell for a duck to Kulasekara towards the end, but there was to be no denying West Indies.Marlon Samuels stroked the winning runs to finish on 15 not out.The next match in the tournament is on Sunday when West Indies faces recently-crowned ICC Champions Trophy winner India.

England tough to beat in Ashes: McCullum

Posted:

LONDON (AFP) - New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum expects England to retain the Ashes, saying they are going to be a tough team to beat.England begin their defence of the Ashes against arch-rivals Australia in the first of a five-Test series at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on July 10.And McCullum is well-placed to assess their standing, having led New Zealand in five Tests, home and away, against Alastair Cooks men this year.In New Zealand, England had to cling on desperately at the end to square the three-match series 0-0.But it was a different story in the return series, with England winning a two-Test series 2-0 following a crushing 247-run win in the final Test at Headingley in May.I think England are going to be a tough team to beat, said McCullum fafter a washed-out second Twenty20 international at The Oval on Thursday saw New Zealand end their tour with a 1-0 win in a two-match series following a five-run success at the same ground on Tuesday.They seem to have got their swagger back against us in that final Test match, McCullum said.What we saw in that Test match is a team that when they are firing they are an incredibly tough team, not just to beat but to compete against.I thought for long periods of the summer we held our own against them but when it really mattered they flexed their muscles.I dont expect that will change in the home summer here against Australia, added McCullum, who also led New Zealand to a 2-1 one-day series win over England during the tour.In comparison to Australia, who are still coming to terms with the shock axing of their coach Mickey Arthur on Monday, England can so far boast a relatively trouble-free preparation for the Ashes opener.England have indicated Joe Root will open alongside skipper Cook after national selector Geoff Miller said he was currently the best opening partner for the Essex left-hander.That would mean them doing without the 30-year-old Nick Compton, who scored back-to-back hundreds in New Zealand, but struggled to score 39 runs in four innings during the return series.Compton, the grandson of England great Denis, made 81 for Somerset in their ongoing tour opener against Australia at Taunton and has been given an unexpected second chance to prove his worth by being released to play for Worcestershire against Australia in the tourists second and final warm-up match ahead of the first Test.Its probably a touch harsh on Compton after scoring two brilliant hundreds against us back home, said McCullum. For us we came off a Test series where he performed exceptionally well against us.We targeted him as one of the key wickets at the top of the order. He pained us for a fair amount of time back home with his innings.I thought we bowled exceptionally well to him (in England). They werent easy batting conditions either at the top of the order.

Chelsea's Marin to join Sevilla on loan

Posted:

MADRID (AFP) - German international Marko Marin will join Sevilla on a season-long loan from Chelsea, the Spanish club confirmed on Friday.Marko Marin will spend next season at Sevilla on loan after the Nervion club and Chelsea reached an agreement, a statement on the Sevilla website confirmed.The operation is done save for the documentation being signed and the player passing a medical.The 24-year-old joined the Europa League winners just last year on a five-year deal from Werder Bremen.However, he saw his opportunities in the first team under both Roberto Di Matteo and Rafael Benitez limited by injuries and a loss of form as he made just 16 appearances, scoring one goal.Sevilla are in need of a creative spark after selling Jesus Navas to Manchester City earlier this month for an initial fee in the region of 17.5 million euros ($23.2 million, 14.9 million).

Man refuses to eat potato that looks like a duck

Posted:

Web Desk - A Chinese gardener thought he was going absolutely quackers when his mother dug up this potato that looks like a duck.According to potato fan Hu Xianglu, his mother dug up the unusual vegetable from a field next to the family home.But just like the man who couldn’t bring himself to eat this sad looking chocolate bar, Mr Xianglu decided it would be insensitive to use if for his bangers and mash.‘As it looks like the popular rubber duck I then put it on my desk hoping to bring me good luck,’ he explained.While he didn’t say what he plans to do with the unusual spud when it begins to start sprouting, before turning black, we hope it brings him a lot of luck before that sad day.Earlier this year a shrine for an aubergine that looks like Hindu god Ganesh had people flocking to Leicestershire.While a Welsh gardener Sue Smith was left stunned after discovering two cuddling carrots while digging up her allotment.
