Panic At UMSC As Muslim Lawyers Threaten To Sue Mufti Mubajje For Illegally Selling Muslim Properties…

Mufti Sheikh Shaban Mubajje

The fire is still burning at Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) over Muslim properties.

Uganda Muslim lawyers Association are now in deep consultations to decide whether to sue UMSC head Mufti Sheikh Ramathan Shaban Mubajje in his personal capacity for illegally selling Muslim properties.

Credible sources in the Association intimated to theGrapevine that today (Saturday) lawyers are going to sit in one of the city hotels to take a final decision.

Lawyers accuse Mubajje of selling two square miles of land in Lwemiyaga District, Ntuusi Village owned by Muslims which is under UMSC custody.

Hajji Ramathan Mugalu, the secretary general of UMSC admitted that they decided to sell the said land because it was lying in waste and they were not earning anything from it.

He added that the money from the sale of the said land was going to be used to buy a commercial building in Kampala.

Sources at UMSC told this website that there is a dilapidated building along Martin road Kampala which UMSC plans to buy but some leaders want to embezzle some of the money.

Sources further revealed that UMSC plans to collect Shs.5m in rent monthly from the building.

However, the Muslim lawyers accuse Mubajje of failing to manage and administer Muslim properties as a trustee.

When contacted, Mugalu advised the disgruntled lawyers that instead of going to court they should come to UMSC and advise them on how things should be done.

This is not the first time that Mubajje is being dragged to court for illegally selling Muslim properties, he was recently acquitted by Buganda Road Magistrate’s court after the said sold properties were bought back by the president from city tycoons who bought it from UMSC towards the 2016 general elections.

Bobi Wine Must Not Commit The Very Sin He Blames M7, I Want To Contest Against Him For NUP Party President – Mwenda…

Outspoken journalist and political analyst, Andrew Mwenda today went the National Unity Platform (NUP) party headquarters to register as a member.

The founder and owner of The Independent, a current affairs news magazine said he was impressed with how excited the young members he met there embraced him.

“I went to the head office of NUP expecting to be lynched! I was prepared to die at the hands of what I thought was largely a collection of intolerant radical extremists. To my surprise, and except for a few noisy radicals, the young people I met there received me well and with overt excitement,” Mwenda narrated.

Mwenda picked NUP nomination forms and wants to stand as candidate for both party leadership and party presidential candidate. The controversial journalist commonly accused of spying for the ruling NRM’s Museveni officially declared his intentions to run against party founder and leader, Bobi Wine, for both positions amidst threats from some members of the newly formed party.

Mwenda bragged he will obviously be of value to NUP, promising to bring in a strategy, policy awareness, political depth, military knowledge and connections, regional and international experience, a large network of contacts across the country, region and globe, and the best fundraising skills the opposition in Uganda desperately need.

Mwenda ultimately stressed the need to advocate for democracy within NUP.

“The party has anointed a president, Bobi Wine, the very sin it claims to be fighting in NRM. There should be a delegates conference to elect a party leader and I will contest. Second, I noticed that many assume Bobi Wine is the sole presidential candidate by anointment. That also must be rejected,” Mwenda said.

Andrew Mwenda dared Bobi Wine to a political debate to assess the future of NUP and the strategy to defeat Museveni. He called upon all party members to rally behind his call for internal democracy in NUP.

“You cannot give what you don’t have,” Mwenda stated, referring to another opposition presidential aspirant, ANT’s Mugisha Muntu who said NUP cannot give democracy to Uganda if they cannot practice it internally.

Lukwago Will Make A Good President – Besigye…

As the 2021 general elections move closer, political camps are making prior preparations to the event, and most of them have either already fielded, or at least fronted a suitable candidate for that cause.

The key opposing party since 2015, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), has not yet made it clear on who will carry their Blue flag to the presidential race. The clock is ticking, and FDC is seemingly fast running out of time to find a replacement they consider suitable for the task.

Amidst all the speculation, Besigye hinted on Erias Lukwago making a good president for Uganda. He admitted he is impressed with the Lord Mayor’s consistency and clarity in his political pursuits, qualities he says matches their ambitious motives as the the opposition.

“Erias Lukwago is clear on what the struggle is and he commits unwaveringly to it, he has been in Kampala fighting for ordinary people, people being thrown out of markets and chased off the streets. We like those attributes in the leadership of the FDC,” Dr Kizza Besigye said.

On whether he will stand again in the coming elections or not, Besigye who has contested in each election since 2001 said it does not necessarily require an election to acquire freedom, he stressed that the fight is about every Ugandan and not just him, appealing that the strategy should therefore be to prepare to fight under all all circimstances, with or without an election. The aggressive politician vowed to fight for freedom that he stands for, until it comes, or he dies.

“The so called independent electoral commission was seeking money from Mr. Museveni, the ruling NRM’s sole candidate, and if the same mere candidate in the race can dismiss senior staff of the electoral commission amidst an already ongoing electoral process, do you think that the elections will be fair,? Besigye asked, adding that freedom of the oppressed opposition and all Ugandans will not be dependant on what he referred to as the Byabakama-Museveni roadmap, but rather called on his counterparts to establish a self navigated roadmap to freedom.

“We do not have the option of giving up this fight to liberate our country,” the retired army general said, noting that freedom never really comes freely.

Besigye emphasised that if the cause is just, it can only be delayed but not phased out.

Besigye believes people are being misdirected to believe that they will be participating in choosing the leader of their country which he said is an already captured state.

Besigye exclaimed how Uganda’s leadership is not even about a certain tribe like it widely is perceived, but rather about a single family which owns this country like King Leopold owned the Congo.

“They have used guns and controlled the mind through the media, that is why he calls us bazzukulu (grandchildren). I am not your muzzukulu. Your job is to serve me. You are my servant,” the four time presidential aspirant ranted, accusing Museveni of running the country like his own family.

“I don’t believe 80 percent of Ugandans like NRM, and it is another lie to say that those who have captured us are letting us have a multiparty dispensation,” Besigye stated, disregarding opinion poll results recently released by Reasearch World International.

OPINION: Stop Comparing Dying Of Coronavirus To Dying From Lack Of Money Or Lack Of Jobs – President Museveni…

Countrymen, Countrywomen and, especially the Bazukulu.

Greetings again from the old man with a hat. When I last sent out a missive, it was talking about the prominent Ugandans that had died and what I knew about them. These were: Kirunda, the footballer; Kasirye – Ggwanga, Erica Mukasa, Bell and Nkeera. 489, 235 saw the message by the time I got the printout and many reacted- some positively and some negatively. The responses were in three categories: the positive, the positive but unhappy with the lockdown and the hostile, negative and arrogant.

I salute the positive responders such as Alierson, Brian, Henseley, Arabian Restaurant, Jordan, Sebunya Shafique, HBB, Vice-President small Acco, Mcedgars, Naiga Mooza, Owori Moses, DewishJa, Jesus Loves you, Mulekwa, Godfrey, Ryder 256 (only worried about my hair-style), Kiganira Enock, Kip , Weyale Andrew, Busobozi Emmanuel, Raymond, Lwanga Charles, Hussein Sadda, Moseyz K Kiribwaz, Kasule David, Shisha Elijah, Kairanga Moses, Paul Opolot, Mujjuzi (who informed me about footballer Fimbo Mukasa that needs support), Tamale Mirundi, Sanford, Mugweri, Fix_IT, Publicity Nateete (that advised me to put ykm when I write myself), Paul Kirimbi, Twende Kazi Uganda (but they need capital), Knight king talking about Makerere Ventilators, The ancestor (wants bibanda to open), Dr. Jenipher Tigs, Kiranda David, Zigo, Born Word Radio (inviting me for Bible Society), etc. I thank and salute these positive responders.

The second category, are the ones that were positive but were not happy with the lockdown. These were appreciating the NRM work but pointing out that the lockdown has killed some businesses, many jobs and created hardships for many families. They were also complaining about the indiscipline of the LDUs. What we need to remind ourselves is that while we do not have a direct cure against COVID-19, there are alternatives to all the other problems and inconveniences as we shall see.

However, before I go into those in details, let me first mention the third category. These are hostile, negative, rude and arrogant. It will be my pleasure to dismantle their erroneous and dangerous positions.

Before I go for each category, I need to thank all responders and also congratulate the NRM for its good work. I congratulate both the responders and the NRM because it is only people who are alive that post on social – media. I, therefore, congratulate the responders for using the gift of life to positively, negatively or maliciously post on social – media. I also congratulate the NRM for decisively contributing to keeping the responders alive by immunizing them when they were young and for aggressively keeping at bay the corona- virus since it descended on us in March, 2020, by using the lockdown method. The USA, which is a highly modernized country, has lost, in these few months, 152,000 people according the CNN news of Saturday. The USA has a population of 328 million people. This means that the population of the USA is 7 times bigger than ours. If we divide the population of the USA by a factor of 45 million, it would mean that if the same death rate had descended on us, we would, by now, have lost 152,000 divided by 7, a figure of 21,717 dead people from the Corona – virus. If you were to democratically distribute this to the 135 districts, each district would have, by now, lost 160 dead people from COVI19. I am, therefore, very proud, with the assistance of God, to have, So far, stopped such scale of deaths descending on Ugandans. David Cisse Sisye calls me a “disgrace”. I am very proud to be a disgrace that saved Ugandans. At one time I was called a bandit. Nothing new.

I congratulate the NRM for, in addition to immunisation and the lockdown, defending the Ugandans and Bazukulu from war and terrorism so that, before the lockdown, they could have the bikesa (transnights) etc. You remember the Bijambiya? What happened to them? They were defeated. I also congratulate the NRM for guaranteeing freedom of speech where the social – media actors, for instance, can insult everybody with no repercussions. That is not very common in Africa. I enjoy it except where the unwise want to cause insecurity and unconstitutionalism and those who say there is no danger from Corona like Doreen Kyohairwe said.

Again, I salute the positive responders and I welcome the positive suggestions like the idea of sports without audiences that have been tried in other countries of Europe. There are also ideas of isolating the tourism areas that I saw in Cuba. However, all this must be subsidiary to life. I salute the positive but unhappy responders but I would like to advise them on their stand of let us re- open with SOPs. I totally agree. If any activity can be re-opened with safety, with SOPs, then let us do it. The people involved should agree with the scientists. Hon. Ruth Aceng is not the only scientist. There are very many quiet and serious scientists who will produce good results for Uganda if they are assisted. Hon. Aceng stumbled into a mistake. She is not, however the only scientist. She apologized to me and to you, the citizens.

Any activity that can be opened safely, with SOPs, will be opened. I am one of the people most interested in good economic performance. However, economic performance should never be more important than lives. If you care about the people, you cannot say that an activity that can cause mass death should be tolerated because it is bringing money. Female circumcision in Sebei had to be stopped when science proved that it was dangerous. This was a big economic activity for those female cutters. That is why they still try to operate under – ground. With new problems, cultural and spiritual practices should, if no alternative, change. With AIDS, Bishop Misaeri Kawuma, on my encouragement, started doing away with the shared communion cups in the Church of Uganda. Banyankore used to share drinking straws (ebishekye), clothes, etc., until science told them of the health hazards. We decampaigned those practices as Bukafiiri (lack of enlightenment). The good thing is that corona is not likely to be here forever without a solution. Indications are that we shall, most probably, get a vaccine and a cure. The problem is the interim. I cannot accept the logic that let people die but we make money.

Both category two and three are making the mistake of comparing the incomparable. Some say, people are dying from lack of money, lack of jobs etc., just as they would die from Corona. This is wrong. Dying from Corona has no treatment other than supporting the body to fight or avoiding. Other diseases, even AIDS now, have solutions – medical solutions – drugs that either cure or control the disease. There are scientific solutions. The rest is organizational boda boda and taxis taking women to hospital. If there is a problem, the possibility of causing mass death, with the boda boda, let us look for another way. Let the pregnant woman go early and be near the dispensary. You cannot rationally say that we insist on the boda boda whether it will spread the dangerous disease or not because we must make money. The only way to defend the boda boda is to render it “undangerous” to the people. Therefore, that argument is wrong.

If some of the economic activities cannot pass the test of safety with this pandemic, are there no alternatives? In about 1350AD, there was a muchweezi man in the Ssembabule area (Bweera) who was a cattle keeper. It seems the cattle died and he shifted to Ssese and became a fisherman. The Banyankore were calling him Mugasha. In Ssese, he became Mukasa (Lubaale w’enyanja). When there was the war of Kony, many Northerners came to the Lake. They are now fishermen. Economic activity is Omwooga (an area of economic specialisation). It is not comparable to life (imager, obulamu). There is no alternative to one’s life.

There are activities that were never suspended: Commercial farming, manufacturing, fisheries sector, internal tourism, artisanship, cargo transporting, produce buying and recently public transport etc.

The other wrong argument of the two categories is the line that LDUs, by mistake have Killed some people and the police have misbehaved here and there and, therefore, dying by corona is the same. Wrong. Why? Every LDU that has killed a person is in jail and is on trial. The Corona-virus has killed 700, 000 (emitwaaro nshaanju) in the World. Who has arrested the Corona virus? In which Court is it on trial? Besides, the LDU shooting a person and being arrested becomes a lesson for others not to repeat the mistake. An infected Corona person will infect twenty. That is how the problem snowballs and becomes unmanageable. It is the total reverse of the LDU problem.
Coming to category 3 – the hostile, the negative and the arrogant, here below are their positions:

1) You old man, you are too weak, you must retire and hand power to the capable young people. The NRM answer, young and old, is that politics (which means management of society) is not biology (young, old, woman, man) but ideology. Ideology is like diagnosis of a patient and prescribing treatment. Similarly, political actors, individuals or groups, must first carry out diagnosis of the society they want to lead and prescribe a cure in the form of ideology, strategy and programmes (manifesto). The ideology of the NRM right from the early days, is based on 4 principles:
Patriotism – love Uganda;
Pan Africanism – love Africa;

Social – economic transformation – (from peasantry to middle and skilled working classes); and democracy (power of the people, by the People, for the people). This love for Uganda (anti-sectarianism) and love for Africa (Pan-Africanism) is not a fashion or mere slogans. It is because that is the only way we can guarantee the prosperity of each of us by creating big markets for our products. Currently we have surplus sugar, surplus milk, surplus maize, surplus bananas etc. In some parts of Africa, they have need for these products. That is why the NRM always works for the integration of Africa – both economic and political. Social- economic transformation is in order to create a modern Ugandan – educated and knowledgeable. That is how many of you are on the social – media, using the internet and the telephone systems the NRM put in place. You are not shouting across valleys with unaided voices (okweeta, kuyita, etc.), but using the systems that the NRM put in place. Democracy is how you are able to give your frank opinions, vote for the ones you prefer, socialize freely the way we have been doing until Covid-19 came in. Every principle of the NRM has got serious implications for the destiny of the Black and African races (nations). Therefore, please, discuss these issues seriously and with respect so that we get correct solutions. Number one and number two mean maximum unity within Uganda and economic and political integration in Africa and number three and four are clear. These are very serious historical tasks where we need all people capable to contribute. That is how the NRM Govt is a multi – generational Govt of grandparents, parents and grandchildren. That is how Uganda has developed so much and has become an island of stability. How would 1.4 million refugees come here if it was not for stability? That is how we have defeated the combined problems of the rising waters, the landslides, the locusts and the virus, the latter being a phenomenon that the negative group were cursing as to why we should have a lockdown when nobody has died. Well, they have recently been rewarded with five deaths from corona. I am in leadership because my party nominated me and I accepted because I know there is work for all of us to do. The majority of the people in Govt are young people, but young people working with the old ones: Museveni, Moses Ali, Kivejinja, Rugunda etc yes; however, also Namuganza, Evelyn Anite, Kasolo, kibuule, Galabuzi, Tumwebaze, Kaducu, Bahati, Adoa, Kasule Lumumba etc. It is a solid group: ideology, experience and energy of youth in a combined package.

If you are not happy with this, you have your parties. Peacefully, compete for votes like the others have done: Mzee Ssemwogerere, Besigye, Mama Miria, the late Mzee Ssebaana, Mayanja Kibirige etc.

To argue for only biology and not ideology is a disaster for the country. Actually, that is what happened at Independence, in 1962. All the leaders were young: Obote-35; Muteesa-39, Kakonge-26, Ibingira-28; Nekyon-28; etc. The only one in his 40s may have been BK Kirya or maybe Nadiope. What happened? Disaster. Biology did not work. Idi Amin was 39, I had forgotten.

2) Why is this old man always talking about history, bush etc. etc.? Oh dear!! Why do we read the Bible? Why do we read the Quran? They are old books but with a lot of wisdom. They were also inspired by God. The NRM documents were not inspired by God like the Holy Books; but they capture a rich experience. Nobody can stop me from talking about the glorious history of the People of Uganda.

However, coming to the missive I sent out on the 14th of July, 2020, it was actually a subject of history. Some of our important people had died: Ggwanga, Erica Mukasa, Kirunda, Nkeera, Bell, Sikaji earlier on. I had been too busy with the virus, but I had been reading commentaries in the newspapers and, of course, I had a lot of information about the people being talked about except some of the ones that were active in the 20 years of our struggle 1966-1986. I knew that I would talk about the virus and the lockdown later. It was, therefore history, history.

3) Some of the group accused me of singing the same song all the time. First of all, there is everything right with singing the same song for a long time. It is called consistency. As long as the problems persist, we must address them until they vanish. How long have we been fighting with the problem of subsistence farming? I started dealing with the problem of subsistence farming in 1966 in North Ankole. There, it has been partially dealt with. We broke off to fight wars in 1971 and for 16years, we were away. I resumed dealing with the problem until 1995, when I got good results; I started my countrywide campaign of bonna bagagawale. Up to now, many of the communities are still Kukolera Kidda kyoonka, tic me cam keken. Should I leave this unsolved problem and start singing Hollywood songs and watching European Clubs of football only? No, NRM sings old songs as long as they are needed and new songs as is necessary. In 1986, the song was to deal with shortages of sugar, soap, paraffin, textiles, beer, etc. Where are the shortages now? Instead, the song now is how to market surplus sugar, surplus electricity, surplus maize, surplus
milk, surplus industrial products etc. Be serious.

4) The other wrong malignment is trying to cast the NRM as a system monopolized by people from western Uganda. Since you are allergic to history, otherwise, I would have reminded you that much of my time I was in Tanzania, Mozambique etc. How many Banyankore or Westerners were there? We fought in the Luwero Triangle. Many Ugandan groups were there: Baganda, Banyankore, Barugwaara, Baruuru, Barundi, Banyarwanda, Baruuli, Banyoro,

There was an unclear picture trying to show some army people. Kindly, leave our Armed Forces out of the nonsense of tribal debates. They have serious work to do and they have done it well. Leave them out of your confusion. The only point one can say about that is recruitment in the Armed Forces is by quotas per district. You check during the recruitment time. However, you can look at your fellow civilian officers. Here in the Presidency, I am quite comfortable without many Banyankore, or, indeed, any munyankore around.

1) Mitala- Unless he became a munyankore today – Head of
Civil Service.
ii) Katuramu- Westerner- Kabalega’s land;
iii) President’s Office – Kakande- only munyankore through enkaanda, otherwise muganda from Ddwaniro- Masuliita.
IV) State House Comptroller- Nakyobe – only guilty on the nkaanda side, muganda of some place.
v) PPS to the President- Omona – Originally Acholi, but somehow Kumamunized by residence.

I am quite comfortable without any big munyankore in the vicinity. Do not tell us about those cheap things of tribes and
religious sectarianism. The LDUs that you are complaining about were all recruited from Kampala and Wakes. Are you trying to say that people of Wakiso and Kampala are bad because of mistakes of individuals against laid down laws, who are, moreover, punished for those mistakes?

5) The negative groups also try to lecture me about the importance of the church and mosques, not knowing probably, that they are talking to the former President of the Scripture Union at Ntare School and a Bible enthusiast of some little weight. The one thing the actors should be careful about is bringing hypocrisy in the House or work of God. You remember what happened toAnanias? In the book of Acts, chapter 5. He deceived God and died promptly. When you press for the unplanned opening of places of Worship or criticize our actions on that, are you bearing in mind the safety of the children of God or are you thinking about something else? Be careful with that side of opportunism. Churches and mosques are, of course, important when the situations are normal. However, “Ruhaanga ari omu myaanya yoona” – God is Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent and He cannot be duped. The Inter – Religious Council (IRC) is discussing with the scientists until they find a safe-way of re-opening. Many of our scientists are devout Christians or Moslems.

6) There is a dangerous line by Agnes Akullo who was saying that God will protect us and we should not bother to take precautions. We should just open the schools. In the book of Genesis, God created man in His image (God’s image) and directed him (man) to establish “dominion over the creations”, including the viruses.

7) Then there is the attack on the old man with a hat. “Why are you writing long essays? We do not have time to read long pieces”. Unfortunately, problems in the world are not short.

Many are long and need long analysis. If the social-media contributors only deal with short issues, they may not be able to deal with protracted issues.

8) I welcome the comments about the corrupt police that extorts money to give exemptions in the lockdown. Why don’t you expose them? Ring Nakalema’s number 0800202500. If she does not, or her office does not, come to your rescue, put the issue on social – media here with facts. Besides, you are the ones that elect the Local Councillors to the district, to KCCA, the municipalities; you are the ones who elect the MPs of all types – Constituency MPs, Women MPs, MPs for the Disabled, Workers’ MPs etc. If you confront a problem of officials or policemen extorting money, why don’t you confide in any of those? There is no corrupt person that we cannot deal with. However, we need evidence. It is true that the corrupt people will try to hide the evidence. However, if you confide in the leaders you elected, whether they are opposition or NRM, we can trap these thieves. You saw what happened to the thieves in the Prime Minister’s office. Use Nakalema or the leaders you elected. Or put it in the social – media. However, get some evidence. Of course, the lGP and his senior officers should also carry out inspection. I may ask one of my retired police officers to go through the population and find out information about these thieves. However, whatever you say about the LDUs, they have helped us to fight the criminals that were attacking factories, the bijambiyas etc. Their mistakes are being sorted out by re-training and punishing those who make mistakes.

9) Finally, for now, one point of principle. FAD wondered why I use Bazzukulu which is a Luganda word. Why don’t I use the Runyankore word, abaijukuru? Then FAD added: “Otweesibako” (you tie yourself on us when you are not welcome). FAD, munnange nkwesibako Kubanga nkwetaaga
nsobole kubeela obulungi (prosperous). Atte, naawe FAD, singa oleengela wala, wandibadde onesibako kubanga onetaaga osobole okubeela obulungi. I tie myself on you because I need you for my prosperity. Also, if you could see far, you should be tying yourself on me because you need me for your prosperity. How? FAD is one, most probably, of the people that buy my milk from Rwakitura and bananas from Ntungamo. Hence, FAD is supporting my prosperity. Yoweri Museveni and all the non-Baganda that live in Kampala are also buying a lot of things from the Baganda shops in Kampala. Hence, Museveni and other non-Baganda in Kampala, plus the Baganda of course, we are supporting the prosperity of many Baganda businessmen. What does FAD do? Therefore, if you do not love Museveni and do not welcome him and other non-Baganda in your midst, you are, actually, an enemy of the Baganda first and foremost and enemy of Africa. Why? Kubanga olinya musowaani kwebaliira- you are stepping in the plate from where the respective group feed (that prosperity).

I hope the ones that wanted to understand our thinking and the facts have benefitted from my long essay. The hostile ones are welcome for a dialogue.

YKM (The old man with a hat).

Short Term Farm Investments

Iroquois Valley Farms First Short Term Notes

For ten years, Iroquois Valley Farms has been capitalizing on the changeover from a monoculture "dead soil" agriculture to a more diverse, healthy, and profitable organic alternative. The family farmers that they support grow more nutritious, specialty foods typically on acres transitioning from commodity crops.

Connecting farm families, communities, and investors since 2007. As a corporate guideline, we do not look for specific farmland to purchase or finance. We develop relationships with farmers, mostly young and organic, that want to grow their farm business. We move forward if we have a ready, willing and able farmer in hand.

Iroquois Valley Farms founders David Miller and Dr. Stephen Rivard

While originally targeting those willing to invest for the long term, they are now offering shorter term notes that provide an exit from the fund with a year. By developing a number of innovative investment products that target personal or commercial investment funds, the company provides a win-win for the health of our planet and personal financial growth. These funds directly impact the difficult transition years that are so challenging for farmers, while transforming fields into living, organic soils that breathe more carbon, cleans our waters, and supports the pollinators critical to food production.

To get started, their new 3 year note is callable by the investor after one year. It is initially limited to accredited investors, but will be made available to non accredited investors in the future. Click for a copy of the Soil Restoration Note term sheet or for the full PPM Offering Memorandum.

Maryland Enacts Sports Betting Legislation, ‘Stripped-Down’ Due to COVID-19
Insight provided by Mark Hichar, Shareholder with Greenberg Traurig

On March 18, 2020, the Maryland legislature passed sports betting legislation (Senate Bill 4) that was much changed (reported as “stripped down” or “gutted”) from the version of the bill that had unanimously passed the Senate less than two weeks earlier.  An earlier version of the bill that passed the Senate would have authorized the licensing of sports betting at four Maryland casinos, three racetracks and, under certain circumstances, the stadium and practice facility of the Washington Redskins. It also would have established licensing fees and tax rates (25% at satellite simulcast facilities, and 20% otherwise). The enacted version of the bill, however, leaves to the legislature for resolution in a later bill the issues of tax rates, who is eligible for licenses and where sports betting may be conducted.

Like the prior version, the enacted bill makes sports betting in Maryland subject to voter approval in a state-wide voter referendum to be held November 2020.

The final bill became law without the governor’s signature on May 8, 2020.[1]

As reported by Legal Sports Report: “The House opted to get the issue on the ballot in November and figure out the rest later. If Marylanders pass the referendum in November, the legislature will have to pass another bill outlining how sports betting will operate next year.” Asked what the bill does now, Maryland State Senator J.B. Jennings answered, “Not much.”

Pursuant to the enacted bill, if voters vote to authorize sports betting, then in subsequent legislation to be enacted, the Maryland legislature may authorize the State Lottery and Gaming Control Commission to issue licenses to offer sports and event wagering in the state, such legislation to include the criteria for license eligibility and specifications of the permissible forms, means of conduct, and premises of sports betting. (SB 4, as enacted on March 18, 2020, Section 1.)

Regarding the referendum’s likelihood of passage, Ron Fritz of reported:

A voter referendum is not a sure bet in Maryland. A February poll of Maryland residents by Goucher College in Baltimore showed 47% supported expanding gambling to allow sports betting online in Maryland and 43% opposed it. In addition, 45% supported expanding gambling to allow sports betting at race tracks, casinos or stadiums in Maryland, while 49% were opposed.

If voters approve sports betting in Maryland, State Senator Craig Zucker expects that the Maryland legislature could pass a bill implementing sports betting in the state in March 2021. Maryland’s 2021 legislative session begins the second week of January and concludes the second week of April 2021.

[1] Pursuant to Article II, Section 17(c) of the Maryland Constitution, “Any Bill presented to the Governor within six days (Sundays excepted), prior to the adjournment of any session of the General Assembly, or after such adjournment, shall become law without the Governor’s signature unless it is vetoed by the Governor within 30 days after its presentment.”

COVID-19 & Law Update: Financial Help for Solicitors, Training Contract Delays and More &

"Closed" sign in a shop window

Read on to find out how the legal industry has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic this week.

A New COVID-19 Personal Hardship is Set up for Solicitors

Last Friday, The Solicitors Benevolent Association announced that it will soon start accepting applications for a fund designed to help solicitors who find themselves in severe financial difficulty following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

The SBA outlines that solicitors will be able to apply for fund support for the following reasons.

The fund requires solicitors to be or have been on the Roll of Solicitors. Moreover, as it is focused on those most in need during the crisis, it does have the condition that applicants must have less than £2,500 accessible savings in their household. It is also expected that applicants will have done as much as they can to help themselves via the various aids put in place by the government and other institutions such as mortgage payment holidays.

For more information and to apply in due course go here.

Education and Training Updates from the SRA

In an SRA board meeting held in March, the organisation discussed the following:

Accessibility issues of moving assessments online, agreeing that the priority was to deliver a solution that would work for the majority whilst also maintaining the high standards required of those who were seeking solicitor qualification.

Temporarily adjusting the LPC requirements to permit some assessments to be taken alternatively.

Whilst core LPC subjects require supervision, that “remote proctoring” assessments fell under this definition.

Permitting proctoring of the PSC as well as for the Higher Rights of Audience and Police Station Representatives Accreditation Scheme qualifications.

Universities are being advised that they are able to make their own decisions about assessing students alternatively on the Qualifying Law Degree and GDL. The SRA should be sent notification of these.
In addition, work continues on the Solicitors Qualifying Examination. The SRA works with the provider of the SQE Kaplan, to ensure progression but will continue to monitor the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic in mind. The SRA also confirmed that it does not expect the COVID-19 outbreak to affect the timeline of the SQE.

The First UK law Firm Announces Changes to 2020 Training Contracts

Irwin Mitchell is the first law firm in the UK to delay the beginning of its training contracts for September offer holders until February 2021. A spokesperson from the firm told Legal Cheek that despite this change, future trainee recruitment would not “currently be affected” and that qualification into newly qualified roles was also not being delayed.

The Legal Ombudsman Promises to Use Discretion During the Crisis

This week The Law Society Gazette reported that the legal complaints handler will take a “flexible and common sense” approach to progressing investigations in the coming months due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Legal Ombudsman says it will be as “flexible as is reasonably possible” in recognising that a complaint initiated by someone may not be their priority at the moment. It also highlights an awareness of the impact the pandemic may be having on the staffing levels at legal service providers and the effect this may have on the progression of complaints.

A Rochedale woman’s bus ride to work this morning was happily interrupted by the dream-come-true news she had won $1 million in last night’s Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto draw.

The ecstatic woman suspected she may have won, but didn’t dare believe it could be true until a Golden Casket official had called her to confirm her win.

The hardworking woman in her 60s had one of the three division one winning entries in Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto draw 3685 on Wednesday 9 August 2017.  Each division one winner takes home the guaranteed division one prize of $1 million.

“Oh, so I didn’t see wrong!” the winner exclaimed when she received the confirmation call from Golden Casket.

“I looked at the results but thought ‘don’t get too excited’.

I was coming to work and thought ‘no, what’s the bet I looked at Saturday’s results’.  That’s the sort of thing I do! “So it’s true! I can’t believe it. You’ve made my day!  “I just don’t believe this is happening to me!”

The regular player, who had marked her entry using numbers handpicked by her daughter many years ago, plans to use her prize to buy her cherished family home.

“I’ve made sure I’ve always worked, my daughter had a good education, and it was all worth it, but I still had nothing to show for it,” she explained.

“I’ve always thought if I could just win enough to buy the family home off dad.  That’s been my dream,” she said. “Now it’s all fallen into place!”

The happy winner also looks forward to enjoying a well-earned holiday and feeling more financially secure as she approaches retirement.

The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her winning 12-game marked entry at Nextra Beenleigh Market Place, Shop 29A, Beenleigh Market Place, 114-118 George Street, Beenleigh.

Nextra Beenleigh Market Place owner David Redfern said the outlet had already begun celebrating selling another division one winning entry.

“We’re so excited! We’ve already got the balloons up!” he exclaimed.

“We’re a lucky store.  This is our fourth division one win in recent years and we’ve also had plenty of second and third division winners too.  “I’m not sure why we’re so lucky – it’s not because of my good looks I can assure you! Perhaps it’s my wit and charm!”

The six winning numbers in Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto draw 3685 on Wednesday 9 August 2017 were 7, 4, 45, 26, 27 and 14. The supplementary numbers were 2 and 34.

Across Australia there were three division one winning entries in Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto draw 3685 – one from Queensland, one from New South Wales and one from Victoria.

The Lott’s division one winning tally has now reached 253 so far this calendar year, including 66 won by Golden Casket customers.

State Sues for Funds to Protect Zoom Health Plan Customers

(Salem) -- The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services today filed a lawsuit in Marion County Circuit Court to recover $3 million in cash for insurance company Zoom Health Plan Inc. Zoom Management Inc. (ZMI), an affiliated company, was supposed to pay the money in late 2016 in exchange for a surplus note, but never did.

Zoom Health Plan (ZHP) is in receivership and working with the state to wind down its insurance business.

"This funding is critical for Zoom Health Plan to meet its obligations to policyholders," said Patrick Allen, director of DCBS.

The state filed the lawsuit in its capacity as receiver of the insurance company. The state filed and was granted approval to take Zoom Health Plan into receivership on April 21. DCBS had been working with the company to facilitate an orderly exit from the insurance business. However, the department discovered that a $3 million surplus note included in the financial statement as a receivable from ZMI had not been funded. The department took the company in receivership to preserve assets and ensure policyholders are protected.

In its annual financial statement submitted to DCBS, ZHP reported capital and surplus of $2,873,168 as of Dec. 31, 2016. But without the cash from the $3 million surplus note, its actual capital and surplus was negative $126,832 at the end of 2016, making it insolvent.

Although Zoom Health Plan has received about $2 million in capital since it filed its financial statement, the $3 million is critical to Zoom's ability to pay claims.

"Our goal through the receivership is for those with Zoom Health Plan policies to be able to stay on those plans and access the health services they need through the end of the year," Allen said.

Zoom Health Plan currently serves fewer than 2,000 members. Zoom+ Care is a health provider that started offering insurance plans -- through a separately created company -- in the Portland area in 2016. ZMI acts as a business manager for the health plan and the clinics.

All current Zoom Health Plan individual policies will be canceled effective Dec. 31, 2017. Group policies will expire at different times, depending on their renewal dates.

The department is continuing to evaluate Zoom Health Plan's financial condition as well as investigating the misleading information in Zoom Health Plan's financial statement and whether it warrants further action.

Pronounce AW19 - LFWM

January 6, 2019

Pronounce unveiled his Autumn/Winter 2018 collection during London Fashion Week Men's.

It’s often said that people are ‘rays of sunshine’. Pronounce have taken a similar idea - that each individual is a beam of light - and and made a collection out of it. Their fourth London exhibition showcased an incredibly wearable collection. Oversized blazers, loose fitting trousers and cosy jackets proved the versatility of relaxed tailoring. Loose fitting chequered suits were layered with slim fitting jumpers and cardigans were given a new status by lengthening them into winter coats with giant, metal buttons.

Most notably was the neon piping that embellished many of the pieces. Of course, this emphasised the core message of the collection, but also gave the brand a trademark; something that makes them easily recognisable. Who knows, maybe Pronounce’s neon piping could be the next Louboutin sole. You heard it here first.

Snitch Nation

InfraGard is a partnership between the FBI and the private sector. It is an association of persons who represent businesses, academic institutions, state and local law enforcement agencies, and other participants dedicated to sharing information and intelligence to prevent hostile acts against the U.S.

Inside the Kremlin’s hall of mirrors

Late last year, I came across a Russian manual called Information-Psychological War Operations: A Short Encyclopedia and Reference Guide (The 2011 edition, credited to Veprintsev et al, and published in Moscow by Hotline-Telecom, can be purchased online at the sale price of 348 roubles). The book is designed for “students, political technologists, state security services and civil servants” – a kind of user’s manual for junior information warriors. The deployment of information weapons, it suggests, “acts like an invisible radiation” upon its targets: “The population doesn’t even feel it is being acted upon. So the state doesn’t switch on its self-defence mechanisms.” If regular war is about actual guns and missiles, the encyclopedia continues, “information war is supple, you can never predict the angle or instruments of an attack”.
The 495-page encyclopedia contained an introduction to information-psychological war, a glossary of key terms and detailed flowcharts describing the methods and strategies of defensive and offensive operations, including “operational deception” (maskirovka), “programmatical-mathematical influence”, “disinformation”, “imitation”, and “TV and radio broadcasting”. In “normal war” the encyclopedia explains, “victory is a case of yes or no; in information war it can be partial. Several rivals can fight over certain themes within a person’s consciousness.”
I had always imagined the phrase “information war” to refer to some sort of geopolitical debate, with Russian propagandists on one side and western propagandists on the other, both trying to convince everyone in the middle that their side was right. But the encyclopedia suggested something more expansive: information war was less about methods of persuasion and more about “influencing social relations” and “control over the sources of strategic reserves”. Invisible weapons acting like radiation to override biological responses and seize strategic reserves? The text seemed more like garbled science fiction than a guide for students and civil servants.

Confronting the surveillance state

By Memorial Day weekend, Congress will likely have decided whether the federal government’s mass surveillance programs — exposed first by The New York Times in December 2005 and more broadly by National Security Agency contractor-turned-whistleblower Edward Snowden in 2013 — will be partially reined in or will instead become a dominant, permanent feature of American life.

The creation of what many refer to as the “American Surveillance State” began in secret, just days after the Sept. 11 attacks. As the wreckage of the Twin Towers smoldered, President Bush and his top national security and intelligence advisers were making decisions that would trigger a constitutional crisis over surveillance programs that the public was told was essential to combating terrorism. The first act in this post-Sept.11 drama began on Capitol Hill.

In a cameras-everywhere culture, science fiction becomes reality

Science fiction writer David Brin calls it “a tsunami of lights” — a future where tiny cameras are everywhere, lighting up everything we do, and even predicting what we’ll do next.
Unlike George Orwell’s novel “1984,” where only Big Brother controlled the cameras, in 2015, cheap, mobile technology has turned everyone into a watcher.
A snowboarder with a GoPro can post a YouTube video of a friend’s 540-degree McTwist in the halfpipe. But also — as happened recently — a Penn State fraternity can upload Facebook photos of partially naked, sleeping college women.
A San Jose homeowner cowers behind a locked door while she watches an intruder stroll through her home on a surveillance video. A man launches a drone to spy on his neighbor tanning by her pool. Pet owners monitor their dogs.

Same Surveillance State, Different War

How government justification for mass surveillance during the war on drugs turned into rationalization for spying on citizens in the war on terror

It’s been a long 22 months since the first of thousands of classified government documents became public in what has turned into a drumbeat of astonishing revelations about the scope of mass surveillance carried out by the United States government.

The History of the Board Ho

people who participate in chat boards like stratics often fail to realize that they are really part of a corporate data mining project in which their posts are scanned for personal information, preferences, buying habits etc. they are, by virtue of their contributions, giving away valuable information about themselves valuable to corporations that build video games and other tech toys. by providing this personal information, they also provide a jerry-springeresque spectacle for the entertainment of others, hopefully drawing more eyes to the board, hence more posts, hence more data for the marketing data crunchers. the participants, by giving away valuable personal information about themselves have commodified their private lives they have become board ho’s. the social structure of these boards is highly controlled to maximize this effect, with certain types of elite posters encouraged and rewarded these are the board ho divas. these posters play a pivotal role in ensuring that the product delivered to the marketing machine will be as useful as possible. in return the board ho divas receive a kind of social capital from the other board ho’s. At least they get something. The rest of us are getting broke off for free.

I’m not a number, I’m a free man!

I am Brother X. I took the name, Brother X when I renounced my birth name. I have done so because I believe that my birth name is connected to my social security number, my credit records, my consumer behavior records, etc. etc. ad infinitum. This has effectively rendered my birth name a slave name.

No offense is meant to people like Malcom X, in fact it is in solidarity with former movements like the black power movements that I renounce the name my parents gave me and assume a moniker that is a symbol of my discontent with finding myself living in a panopticon. I am Brother X. I have no history, no behaviors, no metadata. I am not a number. I am a free man.

Beneath the Rose

There is a certain irony in discussing secrecy in the panopticon of the modern world. Beneath the suspended rose of the conspirators, whether for or against the state, the occult virtue of secrecy is a somewhat quaint conceit, I can ask you to turn off your phones, but that will do little good: it will in fact be a suspicious sign. Your GPS coordinates are known, the microphones and cameras you carry can be remotely activated. Your very interest in this subject has been duly noted, you are guilty by association, and that thought crime is logged and cross-matched with your other deviations. In the security industry phones are known colloquially as trackers and we use them to micro-manage our docility.

No phone?  The number plates of your car have been logged by roadside cameras on the way here, your credit card details when you paid for a ticket, your facebook page when you liked the event. You are haemorrhaging data, and in addition you have been trained to dutifully update your status and identify your friend’s faces to complete a picture that is almost perfected. As the refrain in Orwell’s 1984 goes ‘Under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you and you sold me.’ You are being cyber stalked by your boss, your work colleagues, your exes, your ‘friends,’ credit agencies and corporations.

Everyone is a fucking cop nowadays.

Ethiopian embarks on second five-star hotel construction project
Ethiopian Skylight Hotel

Ethiopian embarks on second five-star hotel construction project

The Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Group has embarked on the second five-star hotel construction project in Addis Ababa at a cost of USD 150 million.

Ethiopian inaugurated the first hotel – Ethiopian Skylight Hotel – built at a cost of USD 65 million near the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport last February.

Abraham Tesfaye, Ethiopian Airlines Group manager Infrastructure Planning and Development, told The Reporter that the second hotel is being built adjacent to the new hotel on 22,000sqm of land. The hotel will have 637 guest rooms, restaurants, bars, conference hall, swimming pool, fitness center and a basement parking which can accommodate 550 cars. The total investment cost of the second hotel is estimated at USD 150 million.

Abraham told The Reporter that the Chinese construction firm, AVIC, conducted the design work. AVIC, which is the turnkey contractor, will also undertake the construction of the second hotel.

The first Ethiopian Skylight Hotel, which has 373 guest rooms was built at a cost of USD 65 million. Stretching on 20,000sqm plot of land in front of the Millennium Hall the hotel building has eight floors with a total floor area of 42,000sqm.

Ethiopian Skylight Hotel has three restaurants – a Chinese restaurant, an Ethiopian restaurant and an European restaurant. The hotel has three bars – a lobby bar, an executive (roof top) bar and a jazz club. 27 of the guest rooms are spacious suites.

The hotel encompasses a grand ballroom designed to accommodate 2000 persons convenient for conference and wedding parties. It also has five meeting rooms which can accommodate 20-30 persons.

The hotel has a health center that provides spa, massage and gym services. There is an out door swimming pool with a pool bar and mini golf court in the premise. The hotel encompasses a coffee shop, ticket office, and souvenir shop.

The Hotel was designed and built by AVIC, the Chinese construction firm, while a local consulting firm, Sileshi Consult, carried out the supervision work.

USD 65 million has been invested for the design, construction and furnishing of the hotel of which Ethiopian 35 percent of the equity financing is from Ethiopian while EXIM Bank of China provided 65 percent of the project financing.

Busera Awel, VP Strategic Planning and Alliances, said that Ethiopian Airlines seeks to offer its passengers end to end travel experience and contribute its share to the growth of the country’s tourism industry. “Addis Ababa is the main gate way to Africa. The hotel will play a significant role in boosting the tourism sector and making Addis Ababa a conference hub,” Busera said.

“We are offering tour packages (air ticket and hotel service) through Ethiopian holidays and bringing tourists,” he added.

Ethiopian Skylight Hotel is managed by a Chinese hotel management company called Grand Skylight Hotel Management Co. Ltd (GSHM).

Busera said that Ethiopian Skylight Hotel is catering for not only Ethiopian Airlines passengers but it is open for the public. “The hotel is hosting local, regional and international conferences. It is an ideal venue for company staff and management meetings, weddings and other events,” he said. When the second hotel is completed Ethiopian Skylight Hotel would have 1,000 guest rooms.

Ethiopian government is planning to make Ethiopia one of the top five tourist destinations in Africa and boost the number of tourists visiting the country to ten million.

MACC nabs six policemen for alleged bribery

  • Nation
  • Friday, 19 Jul 2019

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested six policemen for allegedly receiving bribes.

The policemen are believed to have been involved in the process of investigating, charging and releasing 15 illegal immigrants.

According to a source familiar with the matter, three officers from the commission's Putrajaya headquarters met with the six policemen at the Hulu Selangor district police headquarters before arresting them on Wednesday (July 17).

It is learnt that they were later brought to the MACC headquarters for questioning.

Investigators are also looking for one more policeman who is said to be on leave.

Meanwhile, The Malay Mail reported that the MACC also arrested a Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) and a lawyer who are believed to be linked to the case.

It also reported  that the lawyer was in the process of "paying out" RM17,500 meant for the policemen and also the DPP before being nabbed by MACC investigators.

The report also stated that the DPP was in possession of RM82,500 which are believed to be the proceeds from other gratification activities.

My Idols Are Retarded People

Hello Guys,

This is a quick fan girl rant. If you've been reading my blog, you'll know how I am a big fan of Super Junior. Recently a famous duo of Super Junior which are Eunhyuk and Donghae released another album. I've been listening to their songs a lot since they released it, you can check out the video of Growing Pains below:

Actually there is a funny story that I want to share about their comeback stage. During their comeback stage at Inkigayo last weekend, during the Beat Goes On break dancing part Eunhyuk slipped and fell. Although it was not supposed to be a laughing matter when it happened as all the fans were worried if he was hurt, he soon got up embarrasingly and continued the performance.

how can we not laugh!

I don't know if it's normal for other fandoms but Super Junior fans tends to make fun their idol a lot. It's probably because even Super Junior members tend to joke around while embarrassing each other. So as expected, everyone was talking about the incident soon after it happened.

Therefore, the twitter timeline turned into a laughing port.Like seriously, as the fans wanted to console Eunhyuk from the big humiliation they started to tweet him edited fan art of him using the picture where he was falling. And that was the funny part!

 Eunhyuk even posted something asking the fans from stop laughing at him. lol!

Now, instead of getting headlines about performance mistake. We turn it into a one huge teasing.
Even Super Junior's leader, Leeteuk is joining the fun with his Instagram post:

A photo posted by Lee teuk (@special_js1004) on

And Eunhyuk also ended up being a good sport and posted this on Instagram:

A photo posted by Eunhyuk (@eunhyukee44) on

Like seriously, my idols are 'retarded' people. I think I started becoming a fan because of that too. They're not superficial when it comes to interactions with the fans and among the members. It's been awhile since I rant about SJ related things here so please pardon me if this does not suit your interest.

I'll be back with another post soon :)

Till next post, toodles~! ♥ミ

3 questions for … Volker Nitz, Administrator of The Danish Tyretrade Environmental Foundation

3 questions for … Volker Nitz, Administrator of The Danish Tyretrade Environmental Foundation

What do you think the tire trade is currently doing right for a better future?

Being an “environmental freak” has turned into a positive label – almost a seal of quality – with consumers, organisations, politicians and the media in particular. This is especially true for the Nordic countries where green sustainability and respect for the environment are ingrained in almost every level of daily life.

Taking responsibility for our ecosystem and setting the foundation for green mobility has also become a focal point for the tyre industry. Premium tyre manufacturers are supporting it through improving their development and production. The search for new and sustainable materials while ensuring long duration and best performance are key issues for the industry. This not only reduces the environmental footprint but also gives the end-users the best value for money. In the transport sector, the reduction of CO2 emissions is an important factor, and the tyre industry is supporting this effort, too. Efficient tyre management, low rolling resistance and high retreadability of tyres are contributing in a positive and significant way – if customers buy the right quality products, that is.

Which sectors or companies should a specialist tyre retailer take as an example when it comes to setting up for the future?

In general, the tyre industry is very driven and foresighted. It develops its products according to the demands of the automotive industry and its customers and is supporting the retailers in many ways and various areas.

However, retailers and customers are very different from country to country, and for this reason, is it impossible for me to give an overall recommendation on the matter. Nevertheless, it is rather clear to me that customer relations, management, and service will remain a vital success factor for the industry. Convenience for both end-consumers and professional clients is getting more and more important as leisure time and efficiency are highly valued. From my point of view, it’s all about the crucial basics: a close relationship with the customer, based on excellent service and good products, creates satisfaction and loyalty – and ambassadors for your brand.

What do you think is the most important thing that needs to happen in the tire industry?

I believe that the commitment to researching and developing sustainable production methods and materials, culminating in superior quality tyres, is the overall requirement. In addition, within and beyond existing EU regulations, tyre manufacturers should be committed to securing that tyres are providing the least possible negative impact on the environment. After all, they provide one of the most vital products for our mobility.

Digitalisation is changing customer behaviour and thus the expectations placed on companies across all industries. How well is the tire trade prepared for this? Does it already have the necessary digital tools and qualified personnel at hand? Have trends such as RFID and autonomous driving already arrived in the tire trade?

Hyundai santa cruz concept

Interesting, segment-shunning product isn’t as commonplace as it once was, but some automakers are still willing to think outside the box. The two-box shape, that is. Hyundai’s one of them, as the automaker’s long-awaited Santa Cruz pickup is now greenlit and headed for production in Alabama in 2021.

More consumer-friendly than the concept vehicle released in 2015, the production Santa Cruz has already been spied undergoing testing while wearing frumpy camouflage. Now, it’s been seen in the buff.

Not unclothed in the traditional sense, however. The body shell turned up in a photo sent to Motor1, free of drivetrain and suspension components. Still, it’s our best look yet.

With its Elantra-esque side creases giving it away as a Hyundai (not Ford’s upcoming company, unibody pickup), the vehicle’s profile seems to match the earlier spy pics of a driveable product.

Yes, it’s unibody, as Hyundai brass surely wouldn’t have signed off on a niche model of dubious demand if they couldn’t reach deep into the parts bin. The platform underpinning the Santa Fe is expected to serve beneath the Santa Cruz, and one imagines the crossover will offer up its engines, as well.

With brawny wheel arch (and rocker) cladding a certainty, the Santa Cruz boasts a pleasing profile that distances itself from such oddly-proportioned creations as the defunct Subaru Baja. Sadly, the angle of the pic prevents us from seeing whether the model carries a bed-lengthening midgate. Too bad. We already knew a conventional four-door arrangement was in the cards, as sexy clamshell doors rarely carry over from concept to showroom.

As it gets its act together following the coronavirus shutdown, it will be interesting to see Hyundai move forward on this product. Priced correctly, it could prove a viable model with buyers who see no need in spending more to gain excess capacity they’ll likely never use.

    As the meme says: Not Bad

    The profile is more visually pleasing to me than the Ridgeline.

  • avatar

    Oh boy, the regular cab Ranger or bust crowd is going to be pretty disappointed in this one.

  • avatar

    So, it is basically a Hyundai Ridgeline then, oh well :(

      SCE to AUX

      This is exactly what it should be. If they came out with a BOF V8 Hyundai Tundra, it still wouldn’t compete with the Big 3.

      A Ridgeline is a pretty nice truck for most uses, but people tell themselves they’ll be ridiculed if they get one, so they buy an F-150 instead.

      Hyundai is just trying to carve a small niche, which is why it took so long to decide if it was even worth it. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth it.

      • 0 avatar

        It was never about whether Hyundai should build “a BOF V8 Hyundai Tundra,” it was about whether they would build a truck similar in any way to their popular Santa Cruz Concept. And, as many expected, they decided to use the Santa Cruz name for a truck intended for a very different demographic.

        • 0 avatar

          Exactly this^^ This was going to fill a niche no one else was in and now Hyundai decided to take the safe route and build an open back CUV that no one asked for

      • 0 avatar

        Was always going to take as long as it did as it is based on the LWB version of the platform underpinning the new Tucson (have the same chassis code).

        Both will be built at Hyundai’s ‘Bama plant.

        Around the same time, both Hyundai and Kia gave the greenlight to develop BoF competitors to the Hilux/Ranger.

        They’re not looking at the full-size pick-up market any time soon as it is so difficult to crack and would require NA production.

        The Hilux/Ranger competitors are geared for overseas markets, but may make their way here if either goes forward w/ NA production.

    • 0 avatar

      It’s smaller and going to be priced lower than the Ridgeline.

      Based on the LWB version of the new platform underpinning the upcoming Tucson.

      Reportedly will have a hybrid variant as well.

      Both Hyundai and Kia are also working on a BoF Hilux/Ranger competitor.

  • avatar

    A Ridgeline type truck can work fine (obviously it won’t sell in F150 numbers), but the styling and the stance have to be right.

    Hard to say what we’ll get from these pictures.

    • 0 avatar

      Right – important questions will determine the end result.

      What’s the ground clearance?

      What will be the available AWD systems?

      What is the price?

      How much can it tow?

      • 0 avatar

        Ground Clearance- probably an inch or 2 higher than your average Santa Fe.

        AWD system- If we’re lucky, it’ll have a center diff lock with a 50/50 split. If we’re really, REALLY lucky, the tow package will equip it with an actual LSD rear end. If we’re not lucky, it’ll just be the standard AWD system that’s used in other Hyundai CUV’s

        Price- debatable; probably somewhere in the high 20’s to the low 40’s depending on trim.

        Towing capacity- I’m calling it at 4000 lbs. Your standard CUV/ minivan can tow 3500, save for the Chrysler Pacifica at 4000. The Ridgeline can tow 5000 lbs, but realistically, how many owners actually tow that much with their Ridgeline? Most I have seen have been smaller camper trailers and boats, all of which looked to be in the 1500-3500 lbs range. A 4000 lbs towing capacity should suit the mass majority of their potential buyer base just fine.

        • 0 avatar

          “AWD system- If we’re lucky, it’ll have a center diff lock with a 50/50 split. If we’re really, REALLY lucky, the tow package will equip it with an actual LSD rear end. If we’re not lucky, it’ll just be the standard AWD system that’s used in other Hyundai CUV’s

          Dynamax AWD already has the capability to user select 50/50 lock and stays locked unless the steering angle is out of range and or a certain speed is met.

      • 0 avatar

        My WAG right now is that it will be a truck version of the Jeep Cherokee.
        So an okay available off-road package and about 4500lbs towing capacity.

      • 0 avatar

        LLkely the same AWD system on the Palisade w/ a center diff. lock.

        Since baeed on the Tucson, pricing likely will start in the low-mid $20k.

        Will be powered by the new 2.5T.

  • avatar
    Land Ark

    I’ve said all along that I was a buyer of the concept. I’ll have to take a look at it when it comes out, but… I suspect it’s going to be much larger than I would want. I might be able to live with the 4 full doors, but as stated, I’ll need to see it in person.

  • avatar
    Jeff S

    I would rather have the extended cab concept but I will still look at it. If Hyundai prices this in the high 20’s thru 30’s I am not interested. Much rather have a base model in the low 20’s and higher teens.

  • avatar

    I applaud Hyundai and will be watching, but I suspect it will be a bulbous styling disaster like the Nissan Murano CC with 29in wheels.

  • avatar

    I’m hoping it’s not going to be a disaster, but I think it will be, and they have nobody to blame but themselves. They had the look down, they didn’t need to mess with it, but they did, and…?

  • avatar
    Jeff S

    I would settle for the crew cab as long as I could fit my rear engine riding mower in the bed and be able to close the tailgate. I still would rather have the basest model. I still prefer the concept with the extended cab and a rear seat delete.
