Picture: Adek Berry/AFP</p> </p><p> </p> <p> <p>We’ve been waiting a long time for Akani Simbine to secure a major global outdoor medal in an individual event, and after shining at indoor and relay championships this season, dare we suggest this might be the year he finally breaks his duck?</p><p>Simbine has been phenomenal over the last decade, reaching the Olympic 100m final three times. He has also reached the World Championships final three times, and has won African and Commonwealth Games titles.</p><p>And while he hasn’t reached the podium in an individual event at a major global outdoor championship, he has established himself as the most consistent sprinter on the planet, running under 10 seconds over the 100m distance for 11 years in succession.</p><p>At the age of 31, he’s getting on in years, and most sprinters at this stage of their careers would be well past their peak.</p><p>Simbine, however, is displaying the sort of longevity that is rarely seen among international sprinters, and if anything, he’s getting faster with age.</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Simbine heads back to training after third Diamond League victory </p> </p> </p><p>With a wealth of experience, he could not have asked for a better start to the 2025 season, and though we are still four months out from the World Championships in Tokyo, he has already stuck up his hand among the title contenders.</p><p> </p><p> </p>Showing superb form<p>On debut at the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing in March, he secured a surprise bronze medal in the 60m final in only his second indoor competition.</p><p>He then went on to win the 100m sprint at the first two legs of the top-flight Diamond League series in China, before producing an incredible final leg at the World Athletics Relays in Guangzhou earlier this month, leading the SA 4x100m team to the gold medal.</p><p>Simbine remains unbeaten over 100m in the early stages of the international track and field campaign, and while northern hemisphere athletes have not yet hit their straps, he has made a significant statement this year.</p><p>The SA record holder has always been able to peak twice in a season, and though he will compete at the Diamond League in Rabat on Sunday, he will soon take a break from racing in order to focus on the latter stages of the season, including the World Championships.</p><p> </p><p>And based on the awesome start he has had to the year, he looks ready to break new ground in the second half of the 2025 campaign.</p><p>Simbine has already done enough to secure his place as one of South Africa’s all-time best sprinters, but it would be a real shame if he retired without a World Championships or Olympic medal in the 100m sprint. However, this really could be his year.</p><p>Even picking up a medal in the blue riband 100m event at the World Championships is not an easy thing to do, but Simbine is well on track, and nobody deserves it more.</p> </p> <p> Share this article <p> <i></i><p> <i> </i> <i> </i> <i> </i> <i> </i> <i> </i> </p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics Akani Simbine athletics Columns </p> <p> <p> RELATED ARTICLES <p> <p> <p> Sport Simbine heads back to training after third Diamond League victory <footer> 2 hours ago </footer> </p> </p> <p> <p> Sport Bayanda Walaza aims for faster times after breaking SA junior record <footer> 22 hours ago </footer> </p> </p> <p> <p> Sport Hezekiel Sepeng credits schools system for SA’s emerging sprint talent <footer> 1 week ago </footer> </p> </p> <p> <p> Opinion Best wishes for SA relay teams <footer> 1 week ago </footer> </p> </p> </p><p> <p> <p>Download our app</p> </p> <p> <img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/assets/img/app-store-badge.png" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/assets/img/google-play-badge.png" rel="noopener noreferrer"> </p> </p> OPINION: Based on his early form, this could be Akani Simbine's season \| The Citizen	查看 4512	《公民报》	2025-05-25 15:07:34 2025-05-26 14:14:06	word

3155224	有图 <p> Insurers are getting stricter as insurance fraud soars, which means consumers are paying more and risk having legitimate claims dismissed. </p> <p> <img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Insurance-fraud.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <p>Picture: iStock</p> </p><p> </p> <p> <p>Insurance fraud is increasing sharply and South African consumers are footing the bill. Insurance fraud is becoming more frequent, more sophisticated and far more expensive. Insurance companies lose more money and consumers are paying the price.</p><p>In 2023 alone, South African life insurers and investment companies detected 13 074 cases of fraud and dishonesty, a staggering 46% increase from the previous year’s 8 931 cases. Losses linked to these activities jumped by 128%, increasing from R77.2 million in 2022 to R175.9 million in 2023, according to the Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (Asisa).</p><p>Liezel van der Schyff, manager of the private division at GIB Insurance, says this increase is not just due to more people trying their luck.</p><p>“We are seeing a definite shift in how fraud is perpetrated. It is more organised, more deliberate and often coordinated. It is no longer just individuals inflating a claim. There are syndicates, fake brokers and even inside help in some cases.”</p><p>ALSO READ: This is why and how we can stop insurance fraud</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Funeral policies differ – here’s what to consider when choosing one </p> </p> </p>Spectrum of insurance fraud is widening<p>From seemingly harmless exaggerations to fully fabricated claims, the spectrum of insurance fraud is wide and deeply damaging. Van der Schyff says a growing trend involves customers manipulating electronic device claims, often with help from repair shops or friendly IT contacts.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>“For example, clients will claim their phones or laptops are irreparably damaged, supported by a manufactured damage report, to secure a brand-new replacement. If the device is discontinued, insurers are often forced to replace it with the closest equivalent – usually a better, newer model. It has become a clever way to upgrade your gadgets without paying for it.”</p><p>Other increasingly common claims include lightning or power surge damage to electronics and roof leak claims, where many are maintenance-related and excluded from insurance policies.</p><p>To counter these tactics, insurers rely more heavily on technology to vet claims, including requiring proof like IMEI numbers and blacklist references for mobile phones, or deploying assessors to physically inspect damage before approving payouts.</p><p>ALSO READ: Life insurance fraud: Here’s how innocent consumers are ‘tricked’ into becoming complicit</p><p> </p>Ripple effect of insurance fraud<p>Van der Schyff says fraudulent claims like these also have a ripple effect on the entire pool of policyholders, where insurers are forced to increase premiums across categories that are considered high risk, including jewellery, electronics and portable tech.</p><p>“It is frustrating because the majority of policyholders are honest, but they are penalised for the dishonesty of a few.”</p><p>Insurers are tackling these challenges by increasingly implementing fraud prevention strategies that leverage technology such as predictive analytics and AI-powered systems that flag inconsistencies across multiple data points, making it harder for fraudulent claims to slip through.</p><p>Van der Schyff says insurers are also working together towards the common goal of stamping out fraud by sharing data to identify repeat offenders and syndicate activity, while internal forensic departments conduct investigations, sometimes even scanning social media to verify the details of a claim.</p><p> </p><p>“If fraud is detected, the consequences are serious. The policy would be cancelled and the client is flagged across insurance industry records. If they try to take out a new policy elsewhere, they are legally required to disclose this history and many insurers will decline to cover them.”</p><p>ALSO READ: Me, commit insurance fraud? Never!</p>What can you do about insurance fraud as a policy holder?<p>Van der Schyff says for consumers who try to stay on the right side of the claims process, the rules are simple: be honest, submit accurate information and notify your insurer of any material changes to your risk profile.</p><p>“Omitting details, like a new address, any changes in how a vehicle is used or new drivers, can lead to your claim being denied, or the policyholder even being accused of fraud.”</p><p> </p><p>She says consumers should also be wary of scams disguised as insurance communication. Fraudsters often use phishing emails and texts to trick people into clicking on malicious links or disclosing sensitive information. Poor grammar, strange formatting and a sense of urgency are often tell-tale signs of a scam.</p><p>“The reality is insurance fraud does not just harm companies but affects every single policyholder. We all end up paying the price, either in higher premiums or reduced cover. That is why early detection, data sharing and client awareness are so critical to keeping the system fair and sustainable.”</p> </p> <p> Share this article <p> <i></i><p> <i> </i> <i> </i> <i> </i> <i> </i> <i> </i> </p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics Insurance Fraud insurance policies </p> <p> <p> RELATED ARTICLES <p> <p> <p> Personal Finance Funeral policies differ – here’s what to consider when choosing one <footer> 2 months ago </footer> </p> </p> <p> <p> Courts Daughter of alleged insurance killer to apply for bail <footer> 3 months ago </footer> </p> </p> <p> <p> Personal Finance Do you need building insurance as well as home contents insurance? <footer> 3 months ago </footer> </p> </p> <p> <p> Courts NPA opposes bail for man involved in Gqeberha insurance payout murders <footer> 4 months ago </footer> </p> </p> </p><p> <p> <p>Download our app</p> </p> <p> <img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/assets/img/app-store-badge.png" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/assets/img/google-play-badge.png" rel="noopener noreferrer"> </p> </p> Who pays the bill for growing insurance fraud?

Right now, however, the Chiefs head coach would be better off showing a bit more humility. </p><p>As impressive as Amakhosi’s cup run was – they beat Stellenbosch, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates en route to the title – league form is universally accepted as the main barometer of a side’s quality. </p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Ncikazi proud of Pirates contribution amid uncertain future </p> </p> </p><p>It is simple maths that over 30 games (28 this season thanks to the Royal AM fiasco) you are going to get a better idea of a side’s abilities.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>So for Nabi to try and put the cup and league on the same platform in an angry reaction to a question post match is laughable. </p><p>Last season, Chiefs ended the season tenth in the table, with 36 points from 30 matches.

The glum faces of Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jnr and football manager Bobby Motaung in the director’s box on Saturday said plenty about their thoughts. </p><p>Despite a host of new signings, Chiefs won just eight of their league games, one less than they won last season. </p><p> </p><p>Nabi deserves a second season to try and turn it around.

The standard variant offers a minor update over its predecessor, but the Pro takes a big step forward,</p><p>The brand new Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, looks like a mini Apple Watch Ultra, but the price is also mini in comparison.</p>Key features<p>Some key details of the device include the watch being made of Titanium/aerospace aluminium and weighing just 30.4 grams.</p><p>The Fit 4 Pro is the thinnest Fit to date, measuring just 9.3 mm, and features the Huawei TruSense System sensors. In fact, it’s thinner than an Oreo cookie</p><p>The first thing that caught my attention is the screen – the Watch Fit 4 Pro is built around a 1.82″ AMOLED display that is incredibly bright, with excellent legibility even in direct sunlight.</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> SA must growl back at global bullies like Trump </p> </p> </p><p>Huawei claims an impressive peak brightness of 3,000 nits, matching the far more premium Watch 5 wearable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The pixel density is better than the Apple Watch Series 9’s 45 mm’s 326 PPI, and its peak brightness is also 33% higher than that of the much more expensive series. </p><p>ALSO READ: Huawei unveils new Watch Fit 4 series and Watch 5 in Berlin</p>Sensors<p>The Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro ticks a lot of boxes and comes with an impressive set of sensors and features rivalling more premium and high-end models both in Huawei’s own GT series and also among the company’s competitors</p><p>It uses Huawei’s TruSense System, which features upgraded sensors and new algorithms to measure 60 different health indicators across six body systems.</p><p> </p><p>The Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro comes with deep health tracking capabilities, such as ECG, arterial stiffness detection, SpO2 measurements, sleep tracking, and temperature readings.</p>Golf<p>It also has over 1,500 golf courses, deep-sea diving modes, over 100 sports modes, and offline maps with contour lines, among other features.</p><p>Huawei’s tried and tested Sunflower GPS pairs with reliable health and fitness tracking to round out the experience.</p><p>The Green version comes with a matching nylon woven strap, but you can get additional straps – like the ones from the Black and Blue versions. These straps are made from fluoroelastomer and come with a traditional clasp.</p><p> </p><p>As someone with hairy wrists, I appreciated that the Pro’s digital crown didn’t tug at my arm hair. </p><p>ALSO READ: Smartwatch market expands as Huawei sets date for Berlin launch [VIDEO]</p>Software and charging<p>The Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro runs on HarmonyOS version 5.1. It requires the Huawei Health app, but it will work with both Android- and iOS-based phones once you have the app installed.</p><p>The pairing process is simple enough; you scan a QR code with your phone and follow the steps afterwards.</p><p> </p><p>The battery inside the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro is rated at 400 mAh. Huawei advertises seven days on a single charge with regular use and up to ten days max, but you can get more with conservative use. I got about ten days and there was still 29% juice left, which could last another day., </p><p>Charging speeds are solid, with the Watch Fit 4 Pro charging slightly faster than the standard model. After 20 minutes of charge time, the battery hit about 35%, and reached 90% within an hour, with a full charge taking just slightly longer.</p>Verdict<p>Both the Watch Fit 4 and Watch Fit 4 Pro pack a lot into two undeniably Apple Watch–inspired bodies.</p><p>The entry-level Watch Fit 4 is a lightweight, affordable fitness tracker with excellent battery life, while the pricier Pro adds a more durable titanium alloy frame, sapphire glass, and an aluminium alloy body.</p><p> </p><p>It also unlocks advanced health and fitness features, including ECG support, diving, and golf sports modes.</p><p>The Watch Fit 4 Pro’s inclusion of ECG support helps justify its higher price. Syncing with third-party services can be limited, there’s no real third-party app ecosystem, and features like mobile payments or a voice assistant are missing, but none of these feel like a dealbreaker. </p>Availability and pricing<p>The wearables offer strong value, with class-leading tracking and health features for the price.</p><p>Both the Watch Fit 4 and Watch Fit 4 Pro are expected to go on sale in South Africa on 2nd June. The Watch Fit 4 is available in Black, Grey, Purple, and White, while the Pro comes in Black, Blue, and Green, with Grey and Green options</p><p>As for recommended pricing, the Watch Fit 4 will go for R2 999, while the Watch Fit 4 Pro will cost R4 999. </p><p>NOW READ: Fujifilm launches X Half camera to make photography fun again</p> </p> <p> Share this article <p> <i></i><p> <i> </i> <i> </i> <i> </i> <i> </i> <i> </i> </p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics China Golf Health heart disease Huawei Tech Reviews </p> <p> <p> RELATED ARTICLES <p> <p> <p> Opinion SA must growl back at global bullies like Trump <footer> 4 days ago </footer> </p> </p> <p> <p> Lifestyle WATCH: Birdie bliss!
