3199411	有图 <p> The Springboks were made to work incredibly hard for their win over an Italian side that they had been expected to easily beat. </p> <p> <img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=" rel="noopener noreferrer"><noscript><img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Boks-v-Italy-1.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></noscript> <p>Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth charges into the Italian defence with eighthman Jasper Wiese watching on, during their incoming series clash at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday night.Picture: Sydney Seshibedi/Gallo Images</p> </p><p> </p> <p> <p>The Springboks were given a run for their money by a game Italian outfit, but eventually ran out comfortable 42-24 winners in their incoming series opener at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday night.</p><p>Italy impressed with a rush defence that caught the Boks out, and outscored the home side three tries to two in the second half as they fought back well from a 28-3 deficit at half time.</p><p>But despite the average effort from the Boks, they never looked in danger of losing a game they effectively controlled throughout. Here are four talking points from the match:</p>Superb Italian defensive effort<p>The Italians produced a brilliant defensive effort over the match, employing a rush defence that stopped the Springboks in their tracks initially. </p><p>They kept the hosts scoreless over the first 10 minutes, and it took a lucky looking try to get them off the mark, as captain Jesse Kriel looked to be ahead of Damian de Allende’s grubber, but after having a look, the TMO couldn’t overrule it. Despite that setback the Italy defence continued to hold firm.</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus frustrated despite Italy win </p> </p> </p><p>They managed to repel the Boks a number of times in their own 22m area, until a 22<sup>nd</sup> minute yellow card to eighthman Lorenzo Cannone for cynical play near their line gave the Boks the momentum they needed to open up. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>During his 10 minutes off the Boks rumbled over a scrum for Morne van den Berg to dot down, and Kurt-Lee Arendse scored a stunning solo effort off a lineout as they moved 21-3 up and 28-3 at halftime. The second half was even more impressive from the visitors, only allowing in two scores.</p>Strong showings from the newbies<p>The inexperienced players in the Bok match-23 overshadowed their more experienced teammates on the day. Scrumhalf Morne van den Berg got off to a slow start, but once he kicked into gear he dotted down for two tries; the first completely made by the pack as they rumbled over with him picking up the ball and diving over, and the second off the back of another strong scrum, but this time he had work to do, and sniped around the fringes to run in an excellent try.</p><p>Loose forward Vincent Tshituka, on his official debut, enjoyed another solid outing, producing a busy all-round performance. A week previously in the non-Test against the Barbarians, he put in an action-packed effort scoring two tries, and he continued that momentum with a good showing. </p><p>He was busy in the loose, strong in the rucks and ran hard out wide, and was unlucky to see what would have been his first official try chalked off by the TMO after obstruction in the build up.</p><p> </p>Attacking revolution stumbles<p>The Springboks’ attacking revolution hit a bit of a roadblock against the Italians, as they struggled to get going. Part of that was due to an impressive rush defence that seemed to surprise the home side, while a number of mistakes on attack also slowed them down. </p><p>Earlier in the week the Bok management were quizzed about the team looking a bit more conservative than what they have put out in recent times, but said that those fears were unfounded. But the experienced side seemed to struggle to get going, with them looking less sharp than the group that over-ran the Barbarians in the rain in Cape Town a week previously, and that is something that they will need to look at going forward. </p><p>Add to that Italy putting in an improved attacking performance in the second half, which put the Bok defence under some pressure, and there is plenty to work on for the team ahead of the second match in Gqeberha.</p>Italy show second half fight<p>The Springbok coaches and players in the week were adamant that Italy could not be underestimated, even though they are ranked 10<sup>th</sup> in the world and had sent a weakened squad to South Africa, and leaving a number of star and experienced players at home. Despite these warnings many fans and pundits still expected the Boks to completely over-run their European visitors and were expecting a big score, similar to what was put over the Barbarians.</p><p> </p><p>Despite their slow start, the Boks seemed to be hitting their stride after taking a 28-3 lead into halftime, and almost from the kick-off went over for a score in the corner. But that was chalked off by the TMO due to obstruction in the build-up, and that allowed Italy to come back. </p><p>Three second half tries to the visitors, including one disallowed after a brilliant cover tackle from Kurt-Lee Arendse meant Italy outscored the Boks in the second half, but still went down 42-24.</p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics Loftus Versfeld sa rugby Springboks (Bokke/Boks) </p> Springboks made to work hard for Italy win: Four talking points	查看 5428	《公民报》	2025-07-06 02:15:25 2025-07-07 00:33:10	word

He knocked on badly on one occasion.</p><p>Cheslin Kolbe 6: He didn’t get many chances to show what he can do, but looked for work and made a few darting runs. Competed well in the air.</p><p>Jesse Kriel 6: A decent showing by the outside centre and captain on the day. He tackled well, cleaned rucks and carried strongly, while he showed plenty of calm in scoring the opening try.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Damian de Allende 8: He carried the ball well, and often, and put in a number of good tackles. Made a good kick to set up Kriel for his try, and kicked well at other times as well.</p><p>Kurt-Lee Arendse 8: He chased kicks and was excellent in defence, putting in one try-saving tackle. He also scored an outstanding try after a well-timed, angled run.</p><p>Handre Pollard 7: He knocked the ball on early on, but settled to produce a decent performance. He ran nicely with the ball at times and tackled well. Solid goal-kicking was his best bit on the day.</p><p>Morne van den Berg 8: He knocked the ball on once or twice, but generally kicked well out of hand and made several good tackles. He scored two tries, both of them excellently taken.</p><p> </p><img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=" rel="noopener noreferrer"><noscript><img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Van-den-Berg-Italy.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></noscript><sub>Morne van den Berg scores the second of his two tries.

He scored what looked like a good try, which was chalked off by the TMO because of earlier obstruction, a pity.</p><p>Marco van Staden 7: He scored a try late on to ease the nerves, a reward for a good evening’s work. He made a number of tackles and cleans and carried the ball strongly at times.</p><p>Lood de Jager 6: A second good showing in a row by the experienced lock, though not as dominant as the week before. He was solid at the restarts, carried regularly and put in some good tackles. </p><p> </p><p>Eben Etzebeth 8: He charged down a clearance kick early on and generally delivered a knockout performance.

But he also got stuck in with carries and tackles.</p><p>Malcolm Marx 8: His lineout throwing was pin-point accurate, he was busy in the tight-loose, and made some good offloads as well, one to Arendse for his try.</p><p>Ox Nche 7: He also enjoyed a dominant scrum performance and did his bit in general play, with a few good ruck cleans, while he also carried the ball on occasion.</p><p> </p><p>Bench 5: Vincent Koch, Bongi Mbonambi, Jan-Hendrik Wessels, RG Snyman and Franco Mostert entered the action in the 48th minute and performed well in the set-pieces and in general play, though the Boks weren’t as dominant in the scrums or lineoust as earlier in the game. Faf de Klerk and Kwagga Smith joined the game around the 52nd minute mark, with Smith busying himself in all aspects of the clash.

3199404	有图 <p> EX90 debuts as the most technology advanced Volvo ever made, but perhaps too much and with a minimalistic design not everyone will take an immediate liking to. </p> <p> <img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG-20250703-WA0009.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <p>EX90 not only tops Volvo’s local market range, but debuts LiDAR in South Africa as per the “London taxi” recess in the centre of the roof.

Image: Hanro Venter</sub></p><p>Mounted on 22-inch aero wheels supposed to help with efficiency, the side profile is, once again, XC90 derived, though the rear is distinctive with a split light design in which the main clusters are separated from the top in a curved L-shape.</p><p>An area the EX90 doesn’t disappoint in, helped by its Vapour Grey exterior colour, the design not only looks stylish and elegant, but aggressive and even imposing in the same manner as when the current pre-facelift XC90 debuted a decade ago.</p>Hello LiDAR<p>Of particular interest is the first-time application of LiDAR technology in South Africa using what onlookers described as a London taxi-style recess in the centre of the roof.</p><p>Volvo’s latest innovation in its focus on safety, the system is made-up of 16 ultrasonic sensors, eight cameras and five radars capable of scanning the road up to 250 metres in front.</p><p> </p><p>Relaying the “image” it sees, whether it be cars, pedestrians and even trucks or motorcycles on the thin digital cluster, the graphics looked somewhat on the cheap side and more of a rush job during the development phase.</p><p>On its own merit though, the LiDAR works a treat, though the same cannot be said for the various glitches experienced during the seven days.</p><p>From messages ranging from Electronic Stability Control failure to the one pedal function no longer being available, the glitches would suddenly disappear without any “resetting” after a few seconds and remain operational.</p><p>A bizarre occurrence that once again questions the long-term reliability of the various system, one area the EX90 didn’t disappoint was ride quality</p><p> </p>Smooth and settled ride<p>Equipped with a Volvo-first adaptive air suspension, the ride is smooth and so absorbing that the trek to Gerotek to test its figures, saw it iron-out the bad sections of the under construction R104 with laudable ease.</p><p>Aside from the damping that resulted in no body scuttle or a lumpy ride, the EX90 felt composed and comfortable with no rattles or squeaks being present until its tenure had ended.</p>Space and comfort success<p>Unsurprisingly spacious, the cabin feels airy and despite the imitation wood, solid and soft in construction as the majority of the materials are made from recycled textiles.</p><p>These include the seat fabric and on the dashboard as the EX90 is also the first Volvo to be offered without the option of leather.</p><p>Also missing, which will prove concerning during the summer months, is a roller blind for the fixed glass roof.</p><p>In its place, the roof automatically becomes tinted to the outside world, however, a rise in temperature will likely still result in an overly hot cabin and too much sunshine resulting in an overly hot cabin, but glaring on the infotainment display.</p><p>As with the XC90, the EX90 provides seating for seven, though the third row is really only for small children.</p><p>That being said, practically is still top of mind as boot space increases from 324-litres with all seven seats up, to 697-litres with the third row folded away.</p><p>Dropping the middle row frees up an additional 619-litres for a total utility space of 1 316-litres.</p><p>If not enough, oddment space inside amounts a further 72-litres while the lack of an engine means up to 46 litres can be stored underneath the bonnet.</p>Monstrous EV punch<p>The EX90’s biggest highlight, however, resides underneath. Integrated into the chassis, the 111-kWh battery pack powers an electric motor on each axle.</p><p>A layout that makes the EX90 all-wheel-drive from the start, its output of 380 kW makes it only 30 kW more powerful than the plug-in hybrid XC90 T8 Recharge. What matters most is the 910 Nm of torque.</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=" rel="noopener noreferrer"><noscript><img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/IMG-20250703-WA0013.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"></noscript><sub>EX90 officially becomes the most powerful production Volvo ever made.

As in all industries, even though there are thousands of lawyers out there, there’s that special handful who really have mastered the craft.</p><p>Then you get the rest of us who aspire to be at that level. Some work toward it through personal development. Others have discovered artificial intelligence.</p><p>As with any tool, it’s important that you understand how it works in order for it to deliver the results you want. How to read a book is pretty understandable. How to search through an index, equally so, but it’s not the grandest of ideas to give a lawyer a child’s picture book titled “How Birds Fly” and expect them to be able to land a 747. You’d be within your rights to have an expectation that they’d have some sort of pilot training first.</p><p>Similarly, you don’t just throw tech at a lawyer and say hey, your job, which you get paid above minimum wage to do, just got so easy that you can sit back and relax while Jarvis takes a break from building the next Iron Man to help your client settle their messy divorce.</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> ‘AI already reshaping traditional job functions,’ says Microsoft SA </p> </p> </p><p>ALSO READ: Lawyers who steal: R1.4bn trust fund theft ignored</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to realise that typing “write me an argument to win my case” and “I have a client who caught their partner cheating with the pool guy and wants to divorce and take the three kids. What are similar cases in my favour?” will yield different results.</p><p>It’s not that much of a leap to understand that the quality of your AI “research” is only as good as the information you give it. And if you don’t understand how AI works or, worse, understand that each AI is different and based on differently prioritised datasets, you’re not going to know how to ask it for what you want.</p><p>To its credit, the legal fraternity is very welcoming of AI as a tool and globally, it’s been adopted to create much more efficiency, especially in the mundane parts of the job. Is it prone to making up fictitious case law? Absolutely. And we’ve seen this in jurisdictions around the world.</p><p>ALSO READ: Will AI replace your psychologist?</p><p> </p><p>You’ve got to admire the ballsiness of a lawyer who would approach a judge with a made-up case, but if we’re honest, it’s unlikely that they even knew what they were doing.

That’s not entirely surprising. It’s one thing to teach a bot to string a couple of emotional sentences together using a global database. It’s quite another to have it formulate a cohesive legal argument using jurisdiction-dependent and often elusive legal sources.</p><p>So if your lawyer gets busted for using AI to build your case and gets called out by a judge on it, then of course you should be upset about it. If your lawyer uses AI to get a bunch of cases together before they check them and put them together for argument themselves, that’s just good sense.</p><p>Nobody expects a lawyer to build a time machine, go back to every case that they reference and witness the full proceedings first-hand. We have a tool to avoid doing that: the written record. Similarly, it’s not expected that you restudy an LLB every time you do legal research, and if AI is going to get you the result faster, it may even save you some fees.</p><p> </p><p>All you need to demand of your AI-using lawyer is that they compile and check the final product, because it would be pretty upsetting if you’re sitting in court and the judge asks why you pleaded, “click here for more information”.</p><p>NOW READ: AI-powered online lawyer now available in SA</p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics Artificial Intelligence (AI) lawyer lawyers </p> Should you be mad at your lawyer for using AI? \| The Citizen	查看 4490	《公民报》	2025-07-06 13:00:00 2025-07-07 00:33:10	word

When they (Italy) leave a couple of their big names at home you expect a down in the gutters fight, because they didn’t have anything to lose,” said Erasmus after the match.</p><p>“But we knew they would man up, and they certainly manned up in most departments. Scrums, mauling, defence, attack, so it was a proper Test match.</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Despite a heavy loss, Bok women made the day special for 11 young girls who love the game </p> </p> </p><p>“When we were 28-3 up and we scored that try that was disallowed for obstruction, I thought we might have them, but then we lost some momentum. So it was a frustrating performance to be honest.”</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>With the Boks boasting close to 400 more caps in their starting lineup than the Italians, and having a slew of double world cup winning stars on the field, they were expected to walk away with a bigger win.</p><p>But having a lacklustre performance earlier in their season is better than against bigger opposition during the Rugby Championship or end of year tour, and Erasmus admits that they will look to fix that going forward.</p>No excuses<p>“I don’t think we have too many excuses. We would rather have a performance like this now (than later in the season). They could easily have come back into it at the end. They performed really well. We definitely tried to impose our game on them, and they didn’t allow it,” explained Erasmus.</p><p>“The frustration was not only about not dominating, but also that the game was stop-start, stop-start. It felt like we didn’t get any intensity in the second half.</p><p> </p><p>“The positives are that we won. Also that we scored tries even with a maul that didn’t function, even with a breakdown that wasn’t great, even with a counterattack that wasn’t awesome, we still scored six tries.</p><p>“I really didn’t pick up in the week that this is how we were going to perform. Maybe that’s a sign that you must never think that you are all set in a game. But luckily it is all fixable.”</p><p>One of the standout performances from Italy was their impressive rush defence, that although let in four tries in the first half, limited the Boks to just two in the second when altitude was expected to take its toll on them, and Erasmus praised that effort.</p><p>“They were really good. We did score six tries against a rush defence and when you do that you are doing pretty well. But we train every day against (our) rush defence. They are certainly gutsy, I think at half time they had made almost 120 tackles,” said Erasmus.</p><p> </p><p>“We thought that at some stage they (defence) would give in. But then they turned up the heat in the second half. So the rush defence was something that we expected, but I think we could have scored a few more tries.”</p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics Loftus Versfeld Rassie Erasmus Springboks (Bokke/Boks) </p> Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus frustrated despite Italy win	查看 4339	《公民报》	2025-07-06 13:41:59 2025-07-07 00:33:10	word

Although saving money might seem like a daunting task, especially if you want to achieve long-term goals such as buying a home, funding your children’s education, or retiring comfortably.</p><p>However, Thomas Berry, head of sales at PSG Wealth, warns, much like building a house, financial success is not built overnight and similar to the discipline you apply in your everyday life, it is a steady process of laying down one brick at a time.</p><p>“Each contribution you make towards your retirement annuity, tax-free savings account or voluntary investment, to name a few, becomes a foundational brick, helping you build a secure and resilient financial future.”</p><p>Berry says the best way is to start with a solid plan. “Just as you would not build a house without a detailed plan, you should not begin saving without clear goals. Start by defining what you want to save for, such as retirement, education, a home or holiday.</p><p>“This clarity gives your savings purpose, making it easier to stay motivated and disciplined. Set short, medium and long-term goals, each with realistic timelines and targeted amounts which you can track over time.”</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Savings month: How to save like a millionaire – even if you are not one yet </p> </p> </p><p>ALSO READ: Saving for retirement? Try these tax-smart retirement planning tips</p><p> </p><p> </p>Start by laying the foundation<p>Berry says the next step is to lay the foundation and pay yourself first. “The most effective strategy to begin saving is to pay yourself first. Before you spend money on anything else, allocate a portion of your income directly to your savings plan. This strategy prioritises your future financial well-being and turns saving into a habit that compounds over time.</p><p>“To successfully lay the foundation, automating your monthly contributions through debit orders ensures you pay yourself first, much like laying bricks one after another. As you build on your contributions, you lay the foundation for your financial freedom.”</p><p>He points out that it is also important to build with the right materials in the form of available investment products, such as:</p>Retirement annuity: Contributions are tax deductible up to 27.5% of the highest of taxable income or remuneration, limited to R350 000 per tax year. You can retire from the fund after reaching the age of 55 or due to ill health if approved by the trustees. Funds are also accessible if you emigrate.Tax-free savings account: You can make flexible contributions in the form of a lump sum, debit order or ad-hoc contributions up to a maximum of R36 000 per year and R500 000 over your entire lifetime. All growth, dividends and interest you earn is tax-free but if you contribute more than the limits, it is taxed at 40%.Voluntary investment: This is a flexible, personal investment portfolio where you can access your investment at any time. Tax may be payable on your income and dividend distributions as well as tax on capital gains when you sell or switch units within the investment. Also note that tax reporting is done yearly and you will receive tax certificates to assist you in completing your tax return.<p>Berry says although you are not limited to these options, these investment products are some of the building blocks you can use as part of a well-constructed financial plan.</p><p> </p><p>ALSO READ: Creative ways to save money in challenging economic times</p>Brick by brick – choose the right materials<p>“Much like choosing the right materials when building a house, selecting the appropriate investment vehicles is key to ensure your financial success.</p><p>He emphasises that it is also important to use the right tools to build your financial future in the form of selecting the right portfolio. “When building a house, you would not try to make your own bricks, pour your own concrete, or handle the witing and plumbing unless you are an experienced and professional builder.</p><p>“In the same way there are experienced portfolio managers and investment teams who manage what are known as collective investment schemes. These are investment instruments that give investors access to professionally managed and diversified portfolios of assets including equities, bonds, property and cash.</p><p> </p><p>“Given their years of experience, the managers of these portfolios or collective investment schemes give you access to investment opportunities and expertise that might be difficult to access on your own.”</p><p>ALSO READ: 50 and still haven’t saved? Here’s how to kickstart your retirement plan today</p>Brick by brick – choose the right builders<p>Berry says just as you trust engineers and builders to get the structure of your house right, collective investments schemes let you rely on expert fund managers to navigate the markets effectively on your behalf.</p><p>“As with building a house, the design, materials and construction of your investments will depend on your budget, plans and appetite for risk. Portfolios will vary based on your investment goals, time horizon and risk tolerance. Working with a financial adviser will help you ensure that you are using the right tools to build a portfolio that reflects your unique plan.”</p><p> </p><p>He also points out the value of consistency, building you financial future brick by brick. “The key to successful saving is consistency. Even when progress feels slow, every lump sum and debit order counts. The concept of compound growth in investments is a powerful force that allows investments to grow exponentially over time.</p><p>“Ultimately, saving is not about one grand gesture but rather a series of small, intentional actions. With planning, discipline and the right strategies, you can construct a solid financial foundation that supports your goals and financial freedom to withstand the test of time.”</p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics consumer finances Savings Plan </p> Savings month: Here's how to build your financial future brick by brick	查看 6446	《公民报》	2025-07-06 14:00:00 2025-07-07 00:33:10	word

And then we look at our bank accounts and laugh at the small amount that will never grow past a million. However, the good news is you can save like a millionaire, even if you are not one (yet).</p><p>Salem Nyati, consumer financial education specialist at Momentum Group Foundation, says it is easier than you think to build strong saving habits, even on a starter salary. “The key is knowing what works and starting early.”</p><p>She says becoming a millionaire might sound out of reach. “But saving like one? That is something you can start doing right now. Wealthy people do not get rich by accident. While they may earn more than the average person, it is how they manage and grow their money that makes the real difference.</p><p>“The good news?

Let your money make money<p>Millionaires do not leave their money idle, she points out. “They put it to work in savings vehicles that earn compound interest, like tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs), where the returns grow over time without being taxed. Even if you start with small amounts, consistency is what unlocks the growth. Check with your bank as many banks offer simple ways to open a TFSA and get started.”</p>2. Ditch expensive debt<p>People with serious wealth avoid high-interest debt, like store cards, credit cards or micro loans because debt does not just drain your income, it stops you from saving for your future. Focus on paying down what you owe and you will free up money to invest in your goals instead of paying interest to someone else, Nyati says.</p><p>ALSO READ: Who wants to be a millionaire? Try a tax-free savings account</p>3. Level up your money knowledge<p>You do not need a finance degree to build wealth but the more you learn, the better you will do. “Start with the basics: how interest works, what a budget looks like, how to invest safely and build from there. The wealthiest people are always learning.”</p><p> </p>4. Give your money a plan<p>Nyati says a budget is your spending cheat code. “It helps you stay in control, avoid debt and find extra cash to save. Know what is coming in, what is going out and what you can set aside. When your money has a job, it works harder for you.”</p><p>ALSO READ: Savings month: this is what South Africans save for</p>5. Start small – but start now<p>You do not need to put away thousands, or even hundreds, each month to get started. What matters most is building the habit early. “The sooner you begin, the more your savings can grow and the easier it gets to stay consistent.”</p><p>Nyati says saving like a millionaire is not about having a seven-figure salary but about having a game plan, a little patience and the discipline to stick with it.</p><p> </p><p>“Start now and give your future self one less thing to stress about.”</p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics millionaires save Savings Plan </p> Savings month: How to save like a millionaire - even if you are not one yet	查看 3771	《公民报》	2025-07-06 16:00:00 2025-07-07 00:33:10	word
