Zimbabwe: Cheetahs Get IRB Sevens InvitationZIMBABWE sevens rugby has received a major boost with an invitation to the Dubai and George IRB Sevens in December. Zimbabwe's Zambezi Cheetahs last played in Dubai in 2003, and although they played in George last year, Dubai is their first major tournament in three years. Zimbabwe earns their invitation on their spirited showing at George last year, the European tour and the Mosi and Tusker tournaments this year. "That's what we have been working hard for since 2003," Bruce Hobson, the national sevens manager, said. "It is the full benefit of all the work that we have put in. Our potential is increasing all the time." Hobson, who has also been helping out with the national fifteens side's preparations for the Madagascar tie, said the Sables will benefit as well from the sevens commitments. read more.

Business and government overlook opportunities in the so-called second economy.

An excellent example of this is the Johannesburg cross-border retail trade sector, where more than half a million people are coming into the city each year to shop, bringing in between R15bn and R20bn a year. Figures from South African Tourism indicate that one third, or R15,7bn, of the total spend by domestic and international tourists in SA in 2004 was in Johannesburg. Of this, R5,7bn, or more than one-third, was from regional shoppers travelling overland to SA. read more.

I bought medal from Sohrab's son: Shop-ownerMUMBAI: Shop-owner Abdul Wahid said that he had bought the Sohrab Modi's memorabilia directly from Modi's son Mehli a year-and-a-half ago when the latter was in the process of selling the family's Cuffe Parade flat before immigrating to Dubai. "I still have the purchase slip with me as proof," he said. "The stuff was lying with me for such a long time that I had even planned to put an advertisement in the newspapers, so that interested parties could learn about it and come to my shop. But before I could do that, I suddenly got at least ten calls inquiring about the trophy. I don't understand the sudden interest." A star famed as much for his booming voice as his directorial skills, Sohrab Modi was the eleventh recipient of the Phalke award. read more.
