Hawks investigate hit
Close friends Messrs Sam Chabalala (owner of Sam Holdings) and Nathi Ngcobo (general manager of Sam Holdings Truck Depot in Bethal) two years ago. Mr Ngcobo was gunned down at
the Sam Holdings Truck Depot in Behtal on Thursday, 12 September. The Hawks have taken over the murder investigation as it might be connected to Mr. Chabalala’s corruption case.

Hosted once every four years, the Rugby World Cup is rugby’s centrepiece event.
It is the big stage that rugby players from all over the world dream of reaching.
Held over the course of seven weeks, it is the 3rd largest sports event in the world
after the summer olympics and the Football World Cup.
The new Rugby World Cup logo is based on the theme of “unity”.
As a completely new territory for the tournament to be held in, Japan will become one with the
players and fans from the leading rugby nations of the world, working towards the common goal
of making rugby a truly global sport. The host cities across the country are filled with the desire
to make the tournament an unforgettable one, and will stand together to welcome and entertain
fans from all over the globe. The new RWC logo which integrates the rising sun and Mt. Fuji,
with the World Rugby logo, also represents Japan and the world coming together in the name of
rugby. Duane Vermeulen. Photo courtesy of: Johan Orton / ASICS Rugby
