JOHANNESBURG Nike Air Max 1 Mens Sale , April 28 (Xinhua) -- A South African cabinet minister has been attacked by rioters while campaigning for the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in a volatile mining area northwest of Johannesburg, authorities confirmed on Monday.
The attack took place on Sunday when Sports and Recreation Minister Fikile Mbalula was on a door-to-door campaign tour in the platinum mining belt in the North West Province, police said.
Fikile's tour was interrupted when disgruntled residents in a shanty town threw rocks at him, police spokesperson Thulani Ngubane said.
Fikile was whisked away by bodyguards, and was unharmed, said Ngubane.
In ensuing violence Nike Air Max 90 Mens Sale , rioters burned a community hall, a municipal center and the house of a councillor for the ANC, according to Ngubane.
The residents attacked Fikile to show their anger at the ANC- led government for its inability to deliver adequate services to the area, a platinum belt that has been hard hit by a crippling strike since January 23, according to police.
The rioters belong to the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) which organizes the strike, sources said.
There have been reports of sporadic violence across the country in the run-up to the May 7 elections.
But the Electoral Observation Mission of the Southern African Development Community said the pre-election situation on the whole was peaceful.
COLOMBO Nike Air Max 95 Mens Sale , Oct. 14 (Xinhua)-- Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen has sacked his Defence Minister Moosa Ali Jaleel in the biggest move following an explosion on the presidential yacht late last month, local media reported on Wednesday.
Government spokesperson Ibrahim Muaz Ali made the announcement on Twitter in the early hours of Wednesday morning but refused to divulge further details.
Jaleel was handed the defence ministry portfolio in January after his predecessor Mohamed Nazim was sacked.
Jaleel also sat on the special inquiry commission constituted by President Yameen to probe the boat blast which injured the First Lady and two others last month.
Yameen had landed at the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport in Hulhule from Saudi Arabia after completing the Hajj pilgrimage on Sept. 28 and was on his way to capital Male when the explosion occurred.
Eye witnesses said as the boat approached the Izzuddin Jetty, there was a loud noise followed by smoke and then a blast.
Yameen escaped unhurt from the explosion but his wife and two security officials received serious injuries.
The First lady fell unconscious when the blast ripped through part of the yacht, and was rushed to hospital along with the two other injured. She suffered injuries to her back and continues to be hospitalized.
International investigators probing the explosion have found that the blast may have been an attempt to assassinate Yameen.
BEIJING, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- As China steps into a "new era" of development, the next chapter is beginning for the country's supply-side structural reform with a stronger focus on supply quality and economic rebalancing.
The reform Nike Air Max 2018 Mens Sale , initiated two years ago, was set as the main task for economic growth at the recent 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), as the consensus was reached that China's economy has been transitioning from a phase of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development, and more attention must be paid to quality and efficiency than speed.
The past two years have been fruitful. Progress has being made on major tasks including cutting excess capacity, destocking, deleveraging Nike Air Max Mens Sale , reducing costs and shoring up weak areas, laying the base for future reforms.
The advancing of supply-side structural reform has improved the supply-demand structure, and companies have enjoyed better profitability and lower production costs, said He Ping, statistician with the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
In the first three quarters on this year, industrial companies with annual revenue of more than 20 million yuan (about 3 million U.S. dollars) reported a 22.8 percent of profit growth Air Max 1 Mens Sale , faster than the 21.6 percent recorded from January-August, NBS data showed.
Efforts in supply-side structural reform have also lowered financial risks. At the end of September, the debt-asset ratio of large industrial companies had dropped 0.6 percentage points from a year ago to 55.7 percent.
However, more needs to be done in a changing economic landscape. Given the solid progress, more focus will now be put onto improving the supply system quality, which will be a key direction for building a modernized economy for the following stage Air Max 90 Mens Sale , according to economists.
After a long period of breakneck growth, the Chinese market for major products has become oversupplied, and the demand steering the Chinese economy has shifted from product quantity to quality, according to Zhang Liqun with the State Council's Development Research Center.
"It is the most important and necessary change for a new development stage," said Zhang.
In the "new era," instead of high GDP growth Air Max 95 Mens Sale , China will pursue fairness and common prosperity, support underdeveloped regions and speed up technological innovation and industrial upgrading, according to Jiang Chao, chief economist at Haitong Securities.
China has previously set targets to double its economic size in the first two decades of this century, but no such targets were mentioned during the 19th CPC National Congress, which outlined a two-step approach to making China into a great modern socialist country.
"For the economy Air Max 2018 Mens Sale , the most prominent problem now is growth quality, and we need to address unbalanced and inadequate development through changes in quality, efficiency and growth drivers," said Yang Weimin, deputy head of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Financial and Economic Affairs.
