Following a court order, a specially established task team will don surgical masks to apprehend multi drug resistant (MDR) and extreme drug resistant (XDR) TB patients who absconded from Port Elizabeth's Jose Pearson TB Hospital last month. Eastern Cape health department spokesman Siyanda Manana said the Grahamstown High Court order compelled patients to return to the hospital and not be discharged until they had been cured. To prevent a recurrence of the incident in which three TB patients spat in the faces of security guards during their brazen escape, Manana said the health department had issued masks to a task team established to deal with the escapees. - The Herald Online website

Zuma Case

Mabandla knew of Zuma indictment - 4 January
Justice Minister Brigitte Mabandla was informed of the National Prosecuting Authority’s decision to prosecute ANC president Jacob Zuma for corruption, fraud and racketeering. - The Times website

Zuma can count on me, says KZN businessman - 4 January
A state witness in the fraud and corruption case against Jacob Zuma says he can't wait to take the stand - to defend the African National Congress president. "I am hoping I will be called so that the truth can finally be told," KwaZulu-Natal businessman Vivian Reddy, who reportedly assisted Zuma after he incurred a debt of more than R1-million on his Nkandla development, told The Mercury on Thursday. - IOL website

The Zuma super charges - 4 January
There is now only one legal avenue left for Zuma to escape a possible career-ending criminal trial - to bring a successful application for the permanent stay of charges against him on the basis that his rights to a fair trial have been irreversibly infringed. According to insiders this might happen very soon, even within a few weeks. Zuma's attorney, Michael Hulley, this week said that he still had to consult with his client. - Mail & Guardian website

Country's great survivor faces a whole new challenge - 3 January In the general preamble, the indictment says that during the period it covers, Zuma was a high-ranking official in the provincial executive of KwaZulu-Natal (MEC for Economic Affairs) and the national government (deputy president) and also held high office in the ruling ANC. It concludes that by virtue of these offices, he was in a position to exercise considerable influence. It also notes that both the interim constitution and the final constitution prohibited Zuma from taking up other paid employment, or engaging in activities inconsistent with his role as an MEC or as deputy president. The executive ethics code also imposed on Zuma the "highest ethical standards" and prohibited him from wilfully misleading the legislature and "exposing himself to any situation involving the risk of a conflict between his official responsibilities and his private interests". - allAfrica website

Zuma and lawyer in no hurry for a speedy trial - 3 January
The corruption trial of Jacob Zuma was unlikely to start earlier than the scheduled August 4 date, his lawyer, Michael Hulley, said today.

"I don't think that there is any likelihood that it will be sooner than (August)," Hulley told Radio 702 today. - Cape Argus website

Arms deal could blow up - 3 January
The National Prosecuting Authority's case against ANC president Jacob Zuma has the potential of blowing the lid on the irregularities linked to the government's controversial multibillion-arms deal. Yesterday political analyst Steve Friedman said "depending on the route the trial takes, the case could open up the belly of the arms deal". Friedman also pointed out that previously Zuma had indicated that he had evidence linking some government officials to the arms deal saga. His defence has previously indicated that it could call Mbeki as a witness. - Sowetan website

NPA speaks out on Zuma - 2 January
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has defended its decision to charge Jacob Zuma and called on politicians not to incite disrespect for the law.

Prosecution alleges Shaik paid thousands for Zuma kids - 1 January

The detailed spreadsheet had amounts as low as R25 - allegedly for a "mini-car valet" - to the R400 000 allegedly paid for the "development of his traditional residential village estate in Nkandla". The indictment was filed on Friday, shortly after midday, as Zuma was about to hand out presents to children in his home district of Nkandla. - Mail & Guardian website

Murder case against boy (7) withdrawn - 21 December
The case against a seven-year-old accused of murdering his eight-year-old classmate with an axe in Klawer earlier this year has been withdrawn while his 12-year-old co-accused is to be prosecuted.

Communications

SABC and pay-TV scrap - 4 January
The public broadcaster and the pay-TV industry are already at loggerheads, ahead of the launch of a number of new commercial TV stations next year. At the centre of the dispute is the SABC's insistence that it should be paid for the content which the pay-TV operators are obliged to make available on their platforms "subject to commercially negotiable terms". This, according to the Electronic Communications Act, is to help the public broadcaster achieve its mandate of universal access and service. - my adsl website

'Dead fish toxic-free' - 4 January
Yesterday city manager Mike Sutcliffe said a series of tests had shown that a surge in the organic load into the water was responsible for the death of the fish. "Based on the repeated scientific measurements undertaken over the last week, we still are of the view that the incident was caused by a surge in organic load into the headwaters of the harbour". These range from waste management practices within the port and in the catchment that drains into the port ; the recent spate of rains which could have contributed to a relatively greater organic load into this system and the fact that there could be industrial effluent discharges being illegally connected into the storm water system. He said the investigation into exactly which company, individual or organisation might have been solely or collectively responsible was ongoing. - Sowetan website

Banks set to become developers again - 28 December
2008 may well be the year that the banks re-enter the property market as residential developers – for the first time in decades. So says Jo Pelser, MD of leading developer Sable Homes, who notes that there is currently much pressure on the financial institutions to facilitate the provision of housing stock at the lower end of the market.

Taiwan has reopened a giant monument in the capital Taipei to late President Chiang Kai-shek, as a memorial to human rights abuses under his rule.

Germans tighten car exhaust rules - 1 January
Three German cities - Berlin, Cologne and Hanover - have introduced "environmental zones" to reduce fine particle emissions from traffic.

The cities are gradually phasing in fines of 40 euros (Ł29 ; $58) for anyone caught driving without a sticker. - BBC News website

Home Office says 4 000 foreign criminals deported - 26 December
More than 4 000 foreign prisoners have been deported from Britain during the past year, including killers and sex offenders, the Home Office said on Wednesday. The number is in line with government targets, but the Conservative Party said it "should not crow about its lamentable record". The Border and Immigration Agency (BIA) deported more than 4 000 foreign national prisoners in 2007, an increase of 50 percent on the year before. More than 20 killers, 200 sex offenders and 1 100 drug offenders were among the group. - Reuters website

Nuclear consultation seen flawed - 4 January
The government's public consultation last year on the need for new nuclear power plants to tackle climate change and bridge the looming energy gap was flawed and misleading, a group of academics said on Friday.

Family doctors are threatening a revolt against Government plans to allow them to perform abortions in their surgeries, The Daily Telegraph can disclose. Four out of five GPs do not want to carry out terminations even though the idea is being tested in NHS pilot schemes, a survey has revealed.

Trafficking law delays 'must end' - 3 January
Ministers are accused of "betraying" human trafficking victims by delaying ratification of a European treaty. Shadow home secretary David Davis said the government had signed the treaty to "great fanfare" last year - but as yet had no plans to ratify it. The treaty allows victims time to recover and consider testifying rather than being immediately deported. The Home Office says it has introduced anti-trafficking laws and will ratify the treaty as soon as possible. - BBC News website

Jewish associate sues A&O for race discrimination - 21 December
A former associate from Allen & Overy's New York office is suing the firm for race discrimination. Former associate Norman Schoenfeld, who worked at the firm from August to October this year, is bringing an action against the firm under the Human Rights Law, the City Law and Labour Law in the US. The plaintiff claims he requested time off work to observe the Jewish sabbath each week from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday. Schoenfeld claims that he was told to work on a religious holiday despite warning his supervising partner well in advance that he would not be able to do so. He alleges that his employment was subsequently terminated because the firm claimed he was unable to carry out his job adequately. - The Lawyer website

Legislation

New law aids parents of stillborn children to achieve closure - 1 January
Starting today, a new law allows parents to get a "Certificate of Stillbirth" from the California Registrar of Vital Statistics. California joins 19 other states that issue the documents, according to the National Stillbirth Society. In 2002, the society and the Mothers In Sympathy and Support (MISS) Foundation worked on a bill that failed to pass the state Assembly because of a concern that it would affect abortion rights. The foundation spearheaded a successful bill this year, the Missing Angels Act, requiring the local registrar of births and deaths to provide a certificate of stillbirth to parents who ask for it. To qualify, the fetus must have advanced beyond the 20th week. The certificate could smooth the path couples need to heal and also help provide for bereavement leave and eligibility for funeral and burial costs. - Mercury News website

Transport

Parts of Air Safety Survey released - 1 January
NASA grudgingly released some results Monday from an $11.3 million federal air safety study it previously withheld from the public over concerns it would upset travelers and hurt airline profits. The data reflects hundreds of cases where pilots flew too close to other planes, plunged from altitude or landed at airports without clearance. NASA published the findings - contained in 16 208 pages - but did not provide a roadmap to understand them, making it cumbersome for any thorough analysis by outsiders. Released on New Year's Eve, the unprecedented research conducted over nearly four years relates to safety problems identified by some 25 000 commercial pilots and more than 4 000 private pilots interviewed by telephone. - New York Times website

'Dinnertime Bandit' faces life in jail for robbing rich - 23 December
Hailed as one of the greatest cat burglars who ever lived, Alan Golder seemed the epitome of the "gentleman thief". He robbed the rich and famous, choosing to break into their mansions while they sat down to dinner because he knew no one would be out wearing their best jewels at a ball or party. He stole millions of dollars' worth of jewels in the Seventies. But it was a spree that ended in 1980 with a 15-year jail sentence. Now Golder is back behind bars and charged with a number of fresh heists. Police believe that on his release in 1996 Golder went straight back to what he did best : stealing jewels from the wealthy. Next month Golder will appear in court charged with more than 40 burglaries in Connecticut. He is suspected of others in New York and Pennsylvania that in total netted more than $6-million. But that could be just the tip of the iceberg. Many experts believe he has probably been robbing his way across Europe. - Mail & Guardian website

Traffic fumes are still damaging children's brains - 3 January
Removing lead from petrol was supposed to prevent damage to children's mental development. Now it seems that traffic fumes may still be impairing their learning - because of the soot particles it contains. - New Scientist website

The cost of cleaner air – 2 January
Greenhouse gas emissions may be going up but most of us, most of the time, are breathing cleaner air than we did 20 years ago. Why? Because cars are now fitted with catalytic converters to strip out a range of noxious nasties that once created acid smogs in our cities. But up in the Arctic, they are feeling a nasty blowback from cleaning up our urban air. Catalytic converters filter our pollutants from exhausts using two metals : palladium and platinum. World demand for both has soared as a result, with catalytic converters taking almost half of current product from mines. – New Scientist website

Eight business technology trends to watch - December
Eight emerging trends are transforming many markets and businesses. Executives should learn to shape the outcome rather than just react to it. Creative leaders can use a broad spectrum of new, technology-enabled options to craft their strategies. These trends are best seen as emerging patterns that can be applied in a wide variety of businesses. Executives should reflect on which patterns may start to reshape their markets and industries next - and on whether they have opportunities to catalyze change and shape the outcome rather than merely react to it. - McKinsey Quarterly website

With the release of Juta's Electronic Journals, users will be able to search these publications for information that may not have been indexed according to topic before. These journals offer added value to many of Juta's trusted publications, including The South African Law Reports and Juta's Statutes and Regulations of South Africa. Juta's Electronic Journals provide access to around the equivalent of 45 000 printed pages.

The following nine Journals are now available in electronic format from 2000 :

The South African Law Journal
The South African Journal of Criminal Justice
South African Mercantile Law Journal
Juta's Business Law
South African Journal on Human Rights
African Human Rights Law Journal
Stellenbosch Law Review
Tydskrif vir Suid-Afrikaanse Reg / Journal of South African Law
The Acta Juridica

A brief outline of each of the Journals :

The South African Law Journal

The South African Law Journal is South Africa's premier law journal. It publishes articles, notes on cases and book reviews by prominent members of the legal profession and academics. Founded in 1884, it is the oldest law journal of its kind in the world. The South African Law Journal is the legal showcase for new ideas, changing attitudes and shifting emphases in South African law. Those who are interested in these changes and developments will find this journal stimulating reading.

The South African Journal of Criminal Justice

The South African Journal of Criminal Justice is an accredited, specialist legal journal publishing articles, comments, surveys of recent cases and book reviews in the field of criminal justice, with a particular emphasis on southern Africa. The focus of the journal is on criminal law, criminal procedure, evidence, international criminal law and criminology. International scholars in criminal justice are represented on the editorial panel.

South African Mercantile Law Journal

The South African Mercantile Law Journal is a specialised journal published by Juta and the Faculty of Law, University of South Africa. It is devoted to publishing material in the field of mercantile and business law. This journal is not intended as a businessman's journal. It is aimed at practitioners in these areas of law.

Juta's Business Law

This quarterly journal deals with law as it affects the business world. A wide range of interesting topics in clear, short articles in plain English keeps those interested in business up to date with the relevant law.

South African Journal on Human Rights

The SAJHR consists of articles, cases and comments on human rights but frequently is published as a special focus volume, eg in 1998 it provided a critical review of the Constitutional Court's case law of the preceding year. The SAJHR provides a forum for the expression of views on, and is committed to the cause of, human rights. Although the South African Journal on Human Rights is intended primarily for lawyers, it is hoped that it will have a wider appeal and be read by non-lawyers concerned about the standards of justice in South Africa. Thus it endeavours to strike a balance between a high quality legal periodical and a magazine for human rights proponents in search of information and advice.

African Human Rights Law Journal

As democratic practices and the protection of human rights become rooted in Africa, and more institutions dealing with human rights are being established on the continent, the African Human Rights Law Journal records developments in this area. Published by Juta for the Centre of Human Rights at the Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria, the Journal deals with topics relating to human rights that are of importance to Africa, Africans and scholars of Africa. In the process, the Journal hopes to contribute towards jurisprudence rooted in African soil. Past articles have dealt with corruption, the rights of the child and the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD).

Stellenbosch Law Review

The Stellenbosch Law Review is a forum for the discussion of topical legal issues in various fields. As a law review the emphasis is on providing insight rather than just an overview. It maintains a balance between a wide variety of specialist fields and legal subjects of general interest.

Tydskrif vir Sudi-Afrikaanse Reg / Journal of South African Law

TSAR is published quarterly by Juta for the Faculty of Law, University of Johannesburg. First published nearly two decades ago, this journal covers a broad spectrum of topics pertinent to the legal community.

The Acta Juridica

A dedicated and innovative teacher, a towering intellect, one of the leading criminal lawyers in South Africa, collegial, supportive and empowering, a veritable polymath, the ultimate free-thinker : these are but a few of the appellations used to describe John Milton. Over a period of nearly forty years John Milton has made an immense contribution to the South African legal terrain as a scholar, a legal practitioner, a teacher, a mentor and a friend.

The exemplary scholar : Essays in honour of John Milton is a recognition and celebration of this respected academic and his legacy. The high esteem in which he is held by his peers, former students, colleagues and friends, and the broad scope of his influence are reflected in this collection of essays.

Though known mainly as a criminal lawyer, Milton's interest and influence have extended to property law, statutory interpretation, the administration of justice, delict, environmental law, human rights, legal education and even outside the law to history.
