Compelling evidence of matchfixing by dodgy hosts SA

...It was reported earlier this month that South Africa's assistant coach Craig Matthews said he wouldn't pay money to see New Zealand play without Ross Taylor and Daniel Vettori, while Cricket South Africa had said no Taylor or Vettori is bad news for marketing of the tour....haha egg on face...

Brycy

Egg on whose face?   I suppose New Zealnd cricket face.   New Zealand have not even a half-decent team and Taylor is in fact one of their better players.  I understad that Vettori is injured - so the New Zealand team is not really a challenge of any sort.  

SA has the highest-rated cricket team in the world - so I am not suprised by Matthew's comments.   They are playinf SA in a T20 game on Friday in Durban - I do not think I will bother to go and watch it in any event.

"There is one consolation in SA and that is that crooks ALWAYS gets caught out and ALWAYS gets punished."

LMAO!!!!!

If that is not a joke then it's one of the most naive and ignorant things I've ever read.

What about the developers who were given R3bn to build RDP houses, built about 300 of them and then couldn't account for the rest of the money? Were they caught? How were they punished?

What about the police who shot protesters execution style at Marikana? Have they been brought to justice?

How many crooked BEE tenderpreneurs do you know of who have been jailed for corruption or punished in any way?

Do you think any of the literally hundreds of repeat rapists who got out of jail within weeks and then promptly raped again were suitably punished?

What about the alcoholic high court judge who was so drunk that he drove through some guys wall into his swimming pool, then accused the home owner of being a racist and finally resisted arrest because the arresting officers were female? How much time did he spend in jail? Why is he still on the roads?

What ever became of the MEC's 17 year old son who killed a pedestrian while driving daddy's Aston Martin at 240 kph? Why did that story disappear from the news?

Corruption in the Arms Deal of 1999 has still not been investigated 13 years down the line. Is this another example of crooks "ALWAYS" getting caught?

Whose heads rolled after the "text book" fiasco in Limpopo?

What was the punishment for the politicians involved in the "Travelgate" scandal?

"Clever"Mike, you need to read the occasional newspaper or watch a news broadcast once in a while. Hard to believe you're actually living in this country if you believe some of the nonsense you write.

Spare us the NZL is clean spiel... NZL - Massive drinking culture, major drug problems. Highest number of cannabis users per capita in the world....but your rugby is clean... ha ha you guys are as clean as a prostitutes panties!

Dont try prove it to us..We already know NZL is no different to any other pro rugby team..Prove it to yourselves...Test them!!!School level and up!!

I have to agree rooitwit when it comes to corruption andself serving politicians SA is the pits. We have  president with 783 counts of fraud, corruption money laundering etc for which he has dodged his day in court. He has now put up a R250 million residence when folk here live in shacks!

But when it comes to sporting matters there appears to be a willingness to invesigate matters. No such ethos in nz where they deny or cover up. Mike is essentially correct on his main point.

Rooitwit aka Jalap

Yoiu really are a doos - a stinking one at that.   May I remind you - dumb idiot - that this is a rugby forum - sometimes also dealing with other codes of sport.   It is not an issue of politics or Government administration.

Ignorant doos - I was talking here in a sport context - nothhing else.    You are a bloody fool - why don't you use Rooinek anymore?   Now run off and report this post to the Editor - crybaby.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Sounds like I touched a nerve there, "Clever"Mike? What's the matter, are you having low self-esteem issues because you're too lazy to look for a job and you'd rather waste your time typing ignorant rubbish on a message board all day every day?

Why would I report anything to the Editor? Are you saying that because that's the kind of thing you do? Is this message board that important to you?

What a sad and pathetic loser you are! LOL!

rooitwit Mike is retired I believe and appears pretty well off given his travelling around the globe etc.

Now please rooitwit one of your less appealing characteristics (of which of course there are so very many) is this jealousy thing (Your own non achievment  being doubtless the root of the problem).  Be a good chimp now and try and behave yourself!

Bwahhahaahhahaha

Beeno

Thanks for putting the issue of my employment in the clear.   I am not about to go and look for further more permanent employment - but still do some work for people on request from time to time.

Rooinek has always been a severe critic of whatsoever I wrote - and basically lose the plot completely.   Beware of the day you even dare to criticize any Bulls player.  His dislike of you and Mozart also was always clear and apparent.   Probably because he is an ignorant twit and jealous too boot.   

I think I will just do the obvious and not respond to the idiot in future.    It is obvious by now to everyone that his idiot cannot make a proper rugby or sport contribution - he is too dumb for that. 

"Beware of the day you even dare to criticize any Bulls player."

So Rooinek was a Bulls fan? Well I'm a Sharks supporter so feel free to say what you like about the Bulls. Is the penny starting to drop yet?

As for ignoring me in future, "Clever"Mike, that would definitely be the sensible thing to do if I make you start swearing and getting all hot under the collar. Good idea!

Caught again rooitwit as you have alwaysbeen a sharks fan. Hahahahhahahaha

Mike please relax with rooitwit  - I find him very funny and one must not take him seriously.

Guess we should concentrate on current events,

The South African Football Association suspended its president and four other officials after a FIFA report into match-fixing ahead of the 2010 World Cup found "compelling evidence" that one or more games were fixed by betting syndicates.

In a statement, the association said it issued an apology to the world soccer body and said it would launch its own internal investigation into the officials' actions. As part of the investigation, it said the association's committee asked President Kirsten Nematandani to "take a voluntary leave of absence from his position."

Four other association officials - Dennis Mumble, Lindile 'Ace' Kika, Adeel Carelse and Barney Kujane - also were asked to take voluntary leave, the statement said. Mwelo Nonkonyana, the association's vice president, has taken over as interim president.

"This is a difficult situation for the association, and for those who have been named in the report," Nonkonyana said in the statement. "We hope that there will be no speculation about their presumed guilt or otherwise. We need to allow the investigation to take place speedily and fairly, so those that are innocent can be separated from those who are not."

The association said Saturday that it had received the report from FIFA on Friday. The association acknowledged then that it had been "infiltrated" two years ago by now-convicted match-fixer Wilson Perumal and his "bogus" football company Football4U, which was a front for Asian betting syndicates.

No players have been implicated in fixing matches. Instead, FIFA-approved referees appointed by Perumal's Football4U were thought to have manipulated one or more of South Africa's World Cup buildup games for betting markets. Perumal could have also been aided by some South African officials, SAFA said.

SAFA didn't immediately identify the games but South Africa's 5-0 win over Guatemala and 2-1 win over Colombia in late May 2010 - two weeks before the World Cup kicked off - were under suspicion.

Three penalties for handball were awarded by Niger referee Ibrahim Chaibou in the South Africa-Guatemala game on May 31, with two of them appearing to be incorrect. Chaibou is also being sought for questioning by FIFA for his handling of other suspicious games in Africa, Asia and South America, where a high number of penalties were awarded, apparently to feed betting scams.

All three goals in the South Africa-Colombia game on May 27, which was refereed by a Kenyan official, came from penalty kicks. That match was the official opening of South Africa's redeveloped Soccer City showpiece stadium, which hosted Spain's victory over Netherlands in the World Cup final a little more than a month later. 

South Africa also beat Thailand 4-0 and drew with Bulgaria 1-1 in preparation games ahead of the World Cup.

After allegations of fixing in the World Cup buildup, SAFA asked FIFA to take over the investigation. The world football body began looking at the matches in March this year.

 Boklogic I would shift from comparing SA/NZ sport to SA/NZ civil comparisons, I'm afraid you'll come out even more on the wrong side of the ledger...I can name 3 drug cheats caught from SA rugby, can you name 1 from NZ...comparitively our rugby is clean...and you are a twat.

South Africa 2011 Latest Crime Statistics.

Published: 12:01PM Monday April 02, 2012

Recorded crime in New Zealand dropped to its lowest level for 15 years in 2011.

Latest crime statistics show a 4.8% decrease in recorded offences from the previous calendar year, continuing a steady decline in recorded crime.

There were 20,289 fewer offences recorded in 2011 than during the previous calendar year, with 406,056 offences recorded.

Story continues below...

Taking into account the 0.8% rise in New Zealand's resident population over the same period, the fall in crime rate for 2011 is 5.6%.

Deputy Police Commissioner Mike Bush said the results are a good sign that police and the public remain serious about reducing crime, but that there is still much to do.

"These results show us that we're on the right track with our frontline focus and the work we're doing with communities and other agencies to prevent crime from happening in the first place," Bush said in a statement.

"It just motivates us to do even more to keep the downward trend going. We stay firmly targeted on bringing crime further down across the board."

The largest decreases were in Canterbury where a 22.2% drop was recorded, while there was a 13.1% fall in the Southern district, 10.5% in Northland and 5.6% in the Bay of Plenty.

Auckland City and Waikato were the only two districts that saw an increase with 8.3% and 1.7% respectively.

The overall national crime resolution rate remains relatively steady at 47%.

Homicide and related offending dropped 14.4%, down 14 offences from last year. Last year saw the lowest number of murders in a calendar year since 1995, with 39 recorded, compared with 46 in the 2010.

The latest figures also show that acts intended to cause injury, which are mainly assault-related offences, dropped by 2,237 offences or 5% in 2011.

Illicit drug offences reduced by 9.8%, from 22,995 to 20,739 offences. The largest reductions were in cannabis, down 11.6%, and new drugs, mostly methamphetamine, down 10.8%.

Theft and related offending, which makes up over 30% of all recorded offences, was down by 1,490 offences this year, a 1.1% reduction on the previous year. Nationally, 20,724 vehicles were recorded stolen, up by 733, but thefts from cars dropped from 38,669 offences to 38,174.

Recorded sexual assault and related offences, known to be under-reported to police in previous years, rose by 14.9%, which means 450 more offences were reported in 2011 than in the previous year.

Property damage and environmental pollution offences, the majority relating to wilful damage, dropped by 11.1%. The decrease may be attributed to higher levels of security in high risk areas, including increased patrols, police say.

Abduction, harassment and other related offences against a person dropped by 8.5% in 2011, and robbery, extortion and related offences dropped by 7.3%.

Offences related to dangerous or negligent acts endangering persons, which make up less than half a percent of all recorded crime, rose by 14% in 2011, an increase of 120 offences from the previous calendar year.

"Last year saw New Zealand dealing with significant events. We dealt with devastating lows like the Canterbury earthquakes and experienced highs like the Rugby World Cup," Bush said.

"This continued drop in crime is a good indication that, at a fundamental level, New Zealand is fed up with crime and serious about getting the numbers of offences down."

Bush said police want to make the most of that, which means stepping up their focus on working more closely with communities and other agencies to stop crime from happening in the first place "by addressing the risks that lead to offending".

Yaaaaaaaawn abnz we dont need you to tell us about crime in SA or corruption.  We live here and know very well how bad it is and how corrupt the government is etc. I have been on record bemoaning the shocking governance the country is under a number of times.

However what is highly amusing is that whereas even the corrupt SA Football Associaition i s taking action - what action did nz take re their corrupt WC campaign

All we get is denials and Bl made nz ref of the year. Denials re mcheat etc. Bwahahahahhahahahaha Mike and Bok logic have got it spot on!  nz pretending to be squeeky clean is a montrous denial of the true state of things.

Clean up your act kiwis!!! 

How Beeno sees himself:

How the board sees Beeno:

Poo..You are a world class knob..There you go again "covering" the issues up as any true kiwi does. Thanks to your guys input on the crime stats in SA. Gee this comes as such a shock to us all who have lived in it for years...As I mentioned, we are not debating that NZL is a "safer" place to raise a family but instead of list stats, lets drill down into the reason for those stats.

LOL!!! This thread is to good.

At present most or nearly all countries run by native africans are not profitable and instead rife with corruption.Most countrties in Africa are in massive debt to countries like Amercia and on top of this have the fastest growing populations in the world. This social problem of having the fatest growing population will only make economics worse and with this politics more corrupt and therefore less competent.  Things are going to get worse before it gets beter. It is a sad statistic but one that clear for all to see. What has made South Africa even worse is cross border immigrations where many immegrants are illegal so they cant gain ligitmate work, therefore have no other option by to steal as a livelihood. With many people leaving the country the brain drain due to increasing violence since the end of Apartheid is not helping either.

 Sorry Boklogic, I'm sure you intended to make a decent argument in your post, I'm just struggling to find it....why don't we just agree I'm right and SA should be doing more to address the cheating/corruption/crime within your sport/politics/society in general...

Poo, I always knew you would struggle to understand my argument. You are as thick as a bag of dry leaves. Much like your countrymen, your brain sees very little use with all the hand outs your corrupt government signs off on just to keep u chops quiet.

...wow boklogshit yr the one thats as thick as pigshit and probably still wondering why yr not welcome in this country....front up with some evidence about steroid use in NZ rugby or shut the fk up....

Hmmm, yet NZ consistently polls top 10 for global quality of life surveys, mostly because we enjoy life free from the guilt of supporting steroid riddled athletes and having a football association bent seven ways from Sunday...

Poo bear if ignorance is bliss then the kiwis bird brains most certainly have an extremely blissful life!!
 

Beano, it could get worse in the new year if & when BigBadKev discovers this MB. ................methinks  Rooinek has sadly turned into a chillibean, but then again one of SA's favourite sons, Wikus vd Merwe, ended up as a prawn .

 Oh great, look everyone Beenkop's learnt how to post emoticons....

Hi there Bobbok hope you are enjoying the peace of the Christmas break. Unfortunately we are still battling with a few wayward kiwis and the two miscreants rooitwit and snapster. Battling is perhaps over dramatising it as its a bit of a walk in the park really.

In Auckland I saw a bumper sticker on a parked car that read:

"I miss South Africa."

So I broke the window, took the radio and left a note that read:

"I hope this helps."

I have had a number of car radios stolen its hardly worth replacing them if you have  to leave your car unattended at times.

Brycy Brycy Brycy, my down syndrome friend..There is a saying for people like you. It goes, "Rather keep quiet and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt!" You, my very awkward friend, are getting no smarter besides some guys like Beeno and Mike devoting a lot of time to school you.

Doesn't the fact you chicken ran from a country you so vigorously defend while at the same time shit on the country you chose to live in make you...well a pretentious douche bag?  If the state of NZ  is so average Fuck off with your family back to SA tomorrow....bet you won't though...douche.

This is the problem with blogs..U kiwi's on here have the memory of a goldfish. U read the last post and comment but forget what got us to this point.

...i don't think selling yr arse qualifies as a skills set boklogshit...but why stay here when it's blatantly obvious yr unwelcome and the convict colony next door, arstralia is where yd be more suited...as expected still no evidence forthcoming of any steroid use so keep talking out yr arse as much as you like as yr credibility stands at zero....

 Except SA's steroid abuse/corruption/general shitty state of affairs is well documented, as a rebuttal the best you can do is 'Oh, um, er, well look at NZ...insert petty made fantasy problem'....I just can't understand who issued your visa, NZ clearly has a 'miserable bigoted twat' shortage that needed filling...congratulations

I see no need to defend corrupt soccer officials, or corrupt, inefficient and racist government politicians and cadres. Guys like brycy and other nz oaks do us a favour pointing all this out and showing that the world knows what a rubbsish set up we have here in many areas.

You are the one that started going on about our politicians and cannabis use etc... first Boklogic we were just talking bout match fixing before that perhaps you should see what got us to this point.  I couldn't care less where you work  or how important you are or why you came here, at the end of the day you could say anything.

 I'm sorry but I just have to wade into this debate after reading Thicklogic's so called "facts" about NZ!
