Sasol agreed to sell a 30% stake in a natural gas pipeline running from Mozambique to South Africa for as much as R5.1 billion as it shores up funds to pay down debt.
Abiy's government and the regional one run by the Tigray People's Liberation Front each consider the other illegitimate.
\t There was no immediate word from the three AU envoys, former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former Mozambique President Joaquim Chissano and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe. AU spokeswoman Ebba Kalondo did not say whether they can meet with TPLF leaders, something Abiy's office has rejected.
\"``Not possible,'' senior Ethiopian official Redwan Hussein said in a message to the AP. ``\"Above all, TPLF leadership is still at large.'' He called reports that the TPLF had appointed an envoy to discuss an immediate cease-fire with the international community ``masquerading.''
\t Fighting reportedly remained well outside the Tigray capital of Mekele, a densely populated city of a half-million people who have been warned by the Ethiopian government that they will be shown ``no mercy'' if they don't distance themselves from the region's leaders.
\t Tigray has been almost entirely cut off from the outside world since Nov. 4, when Abiy announced a military offensive in response to a TPLF attack on a federal army base.
That makes it difficult to verify claims about the fighting, but humanitarians have said at least hundreds of people have been killed.
\t The fighting threatens to destabilize Ethiopia, which has been described as the linchpin of the strategic Horn of Africa.
\t With transport links cut, food and other supplies are running out in Tigray, home to 6 million people, and the United Nations has asked for immediate and unimpeded access for aid.

ALL is now in place for the staging of the 2020 edition of the Zimbabwe BMX national and inter-provincial championships set for Harare BMX Park on Saturday. by MUNYARADZI MADZOKERE The event will be used to select a team that will represent the country at the ICU BMX World Championships to be hosted by Netherlands in July next year. It will also bring the curtain down on a season that was largely interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s the biggest race in Zimbabwe that will include riders from Bulawayo. It’s an exciting time for us as Zimbabwe BMX,” national co-ordinator Ashley Gorre said. “It’s important because it is an event that will help in selecting the Zimbabwe team for next year’s World Championships. The kids are really working hard to qualify for the big race in the Netherlands. “Ever since BMX was allowed after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in August, the kids have been training to try to get their fitness levels up again for the first big race this year which is the national championships and they are excited,” she added. Apart from the ICU World Championships the local riders are hoping to take part at other top regional events in 2021. “Depending on the COVID-19 situation or other unforeseen circumstances next year we are looking at the big event Netherlands as well as the South Africa National age group series in April, June and September,” Gorre said. Competition for the national and inter-provincial championships will come in several categories from five-year-olds and under, up to the Under-13 as well as the open group. The BMX national championships will not be as big as the organisers want it to be because of the COVID-19 regulations that are currently in place. It has also suffered in terms of corporate support because of the current difficult economic environment. “We cannot make it very big because we have to adhere to the strict COVID-19 measures. We are looking at not more than 70 spectators mainly close relations to the riders. “In terms of sponsorship we have received support mainly from parents. But we have corporate support from our major sponsors namely TyreZim, Sable Chickens, Inscor, JoDan Electronics and The Pet Shop, among others,” she said. Other partners include FUCHS, ESPN, Grocery Guru, Simbisa Brands Ltd, Mtowe, The Nook and Nyinana Farm. lFollow Munyaradzi on Twitter @munyamadzokere

THE world is being hammered left, right and centre by the notorious coronavirus. Many countries are in trouble at the moment, with Europe going through a more serious second wave of the coronavirus. guest column:Johannes Marisa So far, the official mortality of COVID-19 is about 1,413 million deaths globally, with more than 57 million people having been infected with the virus. We have to realise that there are some deaths that are not reported and are not enumerated. It is alarming that the number of new cases are increasing by the day, with more than 600 000 cases being recorded daily. This is a major increase in cases from the April/May 2020 era where there used to be about 40 000 cases per day. The sign is very simple: COVID-19 is worsening and is far from being over. The United States is the worst affected country in the world, with deaths of more than 258 000 followed by Brazil and India. Africa has fared quite well, with slightly above two million people being affected, representing around 3,6% of the infections in the world. South Africa is the worst affected country in Africa with more than 757 000 cases. Zimbabwe has recorded just around 9 400 cases, so far with about 274 official deaths. We applaud our national efforts in combating the spread of the virus despite the limited resources. The nation should be reminded that COVID-19 is still a menace and is more cunning than the days of gross fear when even supermarkets were very serious about checking everyone’s temperature on entering their premises, when everyone saw it necessary to put on masks, when many moved around with hand sanitisers in their bags or cars. Europe relaxed restrictions in July after noticing a decline in the number of cases, but it recorded a resurgence of cases in mid-October 2020 with increased mortality. Countries like Poland came into focus with high daily deaths. The second wave of the infection is really disastrous. We hope we will not be caught offside in Zimbabwe as we begin to record an increase in the number of cases again. Research so far seems to pinpoint human behaviour as a serious contributor to this second wave of infections. In order to keep our country safe in terms of COVID-19 infections, it is wise that people revert to public health measures as soon as possible before it is too late. We do not want a catastrophe in the near future. The following measures should thus remain in place and the more we observe them, the earlier we avert the impending disaster. People should not forget the following: That masks remain very important in combating the spread of the virus. Lately, people have been complacent, especially in high-density suburbs to the extent that some do not even put on masks for the entire week. This public health measure should be treated seriously if we are to remain afloat as a nation. Social distancing has not been substituted by anything, so it remains very important and should thus be observed. Gatherings that do not guarantee at least a distance of two metres should not be allowed as crowding can b
