Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of information Bloomberg quickly and accurately delivers business and financial information A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck near Sulawesi in Indonesia The quake was about 44 kilometers away from Modisi and had a depth of 10 kilometers Ugly fight for dr chiepe’s fortune spoils 100th birthday celebrations A day after the nation united to celebrate the iconic former politician and minister her family skeletons came tumbling out of the closet as an ugly fight for her property began to unfold in the public domain A leaked letter written by Dr Chiepe’s legally-adopted daughter which was on Wednesday circulating on social media indicated that the two had discovered a carte blanche power of attorney illegally obtained by one Sefalana Martha Modisi from Dr Chiepe that has been used to usurp full control of the centenarian’s finances Asem confirmed that the letter was authentic but refused to comment further on the matter because it was “still internal and being handled by the family attorneys” a nephew and niece who had colluded to rob Dr Chiepe in a sophisticated manner Modisi was alleged to have secretly taken and transferred Dr Chiepe’s property to herself or her companies without Dr Chiepe’s knowledge These properties involve house number 2528 in Extension 9 The daughter and nephew duo claim to have evidence that Modisi has for decades used Dr Chiepe’s assets to continuously raise a significant number of loans for herself or her companies or those in which she has interest Some of these were serviced using Dr Chiepe’s finances and rental income that was due to her has played a significant part in the convoluted set of mechanisms at the early stages relating to house number 2528 which ultimately empowered and emboldened Modisi to attain control and effectively give herself the house When Monametsi and Asem confronted Modisi and Bagwasi the alleged partners in crime filed an urgent application through their attorney before Lobatse High Court demanding that Dr Chiepe be certified mentally unsound and a curator appointed to administer her affairs as a de facto retard incapable of participating in the recovery of her misappropriated assets “We want Modisi to account for all transactions she made in Dr Chiepe’s various accounts: Current Modisi to account for all loans acquired from ABSA and using plot no: 2528 Ext 9 and plot no 15571 Modisi to account for all loans acquired from Standard Chartered Bank and using plot no: 2528 Ext 9 and plot no: 15571 as collateral Modisi to account for the financial transactions pertaining to Dr Chiepe’s BBS portfolio since she moved it from BBS to Black Thread Capital among others,” reads the letter in part Monametsi and Asem further stated in the letter that “It is demanded herein that Modisi and Bagwasi avail themselves to Advocate Sidney Pilane within the next seven (7) calendar days to conclude written and signed agreements as to how and when ownership of Extension 9 and extension 44 houses be returned to Dr Chiepe.” regarding the untrue and defamatory allegations made in the letter to which you refer Comment *

experience battling extremely drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) and hearing the stories of what other TB patients and survivors had been through medical doctor Thato Mosidi (29) realised she had an important role to play in the treatment of and education about TB in South Africa Realising that she was one of the fortunate handful of people to have survived this almost incurable condition she felt she had to speak out for TB sufferers and advocate for the eradication of TB Herself a victim of TB stigma after her occupationally-acquired TB Modisi believed that by using her status as a patient and a doctor and by sharing her story publically she could start a social dialogue about the condition and help change how people view TB “South Africa has a very serious TB and HIV epidemic and the combination of the two has created fear and misconceptions about the two conditions within our communities The discrimination and stigma experienced by people with TB is one of the very powerful social determinants of disease that has contributed to the spread of the epidemic “I believe if we start talking about it and educating people about the disease we’ll be well on the way to eradicating it,” she says Modisi is a member of the South African National Aids Council’s Global Fund Country Co-ordinating Mechanism representing the TB community in civil society The CCM raises funds to assist developing nations in responding to the challenges of HIV and Aids She is also a member of nongovernmental organisation TB Proof health care workers and medical students who have personal experience of occupationally-acquired TB particularly drug-resistant forms of the disease The group seeks to raise awareness about occupational nosocomial (originating in hospital) and community-based TB transmission It further educates health care workers and students on how to protect themselves from being infected with TB in the workplace “My greatest challenge is accepting that change will not happen overnight We still have so much to do before we can rid the world of TB many critical decisions and getting hands dirty to get the job done.” — Linda Doke Brent Lindeque is the
