ECR Newswatch @ 13H00
On FM, on the station app, and on OpenView Channel 606, this is East Coast Radio Newswatch. Hi, John, Henry, Stian Haisen, swear that I will be faithful to the Republic of South Africa and will obey, respect and uphold the constitution. The multi-party national executive is being sworn in in Cape Town. Hi, Patricia Delo. Hi, Patricia. Your Honor, it's beautiful. Hi, Seville, Guajolem. Hi, Velenco Sini, Ficri, Chabissam. Hi, Moba, Solomon Malazzi. Hi, Zwanel and Jonso. Hi, Gaiton Mackenzie, swear, Solomon Lee, affirm that I will be faithful to the Republic of South Africa. Gaiton Mackenzie, a former inmate, is the new sports arts and culture minister. He had the room in stitches when Justice Raymond Zonta prompted him to finish his oath. So, help me go out. Good evening, Tuesday. Thank you, take a seat. The last time I just asked me to sit, it made me sit for 10 years. This idea. And of course, President Sorama Posa on Sunday night announced the group of ministers and deputy ministers that have been drawn from the multi-party government of national unity. In international news, people on the Caribbean island of Union say almost every house there has been destroyed or badly damaged by Hurricane Beryl. The storm barreled through the grenadines that is now bearing down on Jamaica, where residents are being warned of life-threatening winds. At least six people have died. Rhea, Marie Pierre from the Red Cross, is in Barbados and spoke to Sky News. It's breaking all the wrong records. Beryl clearly wants to see what the Caribbean had to offer. It's just hitting all the media stops along the way and it's just leaving a path of destruction. The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy says the delay in the announcement of the fuel prices was due to the swearing-in of the ministers. The fuel price adjustments usually kick in on the first Wednesday of the month. But this time around, it will only be effective from Thursday. Both grades of petrol will decrease by around one round per litre while diesel will be down by between 24 and 30 cents a litre. The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, the spokesperson, Robert Marcus, says they were waiting for the prices to be gazetted once the minister has been sworn in today. Well, the only reason that there was no minister to approve. The top story. The swearing-in ceremony of the National Executive has continued in Cape Town, presided over by Chief Justice Raymond Zondor. Find more news at dcr.co.co.ca for more information.
