Rs 27 crore—Shivam Dube buys two apartments in Mumbai's upscale locality on 17th and 18th floors, pays heavy stamp duty
Fresh off India's 2024 T20 World Cup win, cricketer Shivam Dube is scoring big beyond the pitch. The 31-year-old all-rounder has just bought not one, but two luxury apartments in Mumbai's upscale locality in Andheri West for a whopping Rs 27.5 crore. The deal, officially registered on June 20, 2025, is not just a headline-grabber; it plants Dube firmly in the city's elite real estate scene alongside fellow cricketers like Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer. What's inside the Rs 27.5 crore purchase? According to Square Yards, which looked through the property's official documents, Dube's new homes are located in DLH Enclave. This is a high-end residential tower in Oshiwara, developed by Dev Land and Housing. The two flats sit on the 17th and 18th floors and span a massive 9,600 sq. ft. of built-up area. That includes 4,200 sq. ft. of carpet area and an enormous 3,800 sq. ft. terrace—roomy enough for parties, workouts, or just soaking up the Mumbai sun. The property comes with three parking spaces and attracted stamp duty of Rs 1.65 crore, plus a Rs 30,000 registration fee. DLH Enclave is no stranger to famous faces either. Celebs like Kapil Sharma and Mika Singh already call the complex home, which adds some star-powered neighbors to Dube's new address. IPL money meets smart investing Dube's leap into prime Mumbai real estate echoes his off-field growth as much as his on-field success. After starting his IPL career with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2019, he is now a key figure at Chennai Super Kings, having been retained for Rs 12 crore ahead of the 2025 season. Though CSK had a forgettable run this year, Dube's form was steady, scoring 357 runs across 14 games. His big moment came in the 2024 T20 World Cup final, where he smashed a vital 27 off 16 balls to help India lift the trophy. With a Grade C BCCI contract and a rising brand value, Shivam's investment comes at the perfect time. Another cricketer, another luxury pin on the map By joining Mumbai's millionaire club of athlete homeowners, Dube is making it clear— he's not just playing to win, he's living to win too. With two sky-high pads in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods, he is not just investing in real estate, he's making a statement.

Lawyer seeks to add Alberta corporations to list of plaintiffs in COVID-related class-action lawsuit
Article content 'They're still suffering from these orders. They're still suffering from a massive debt burden,' the lawyer said. But Dube said the group would not be limited to just small corporations. 'The proposed class of all corporations in Alberta run the whole gamut,' he said. Last Oct. 30, the Calgary Court of King's Bench judge ruled the class action could proceed on behalf of individual business owners who may have suffered losses due to unauthorized restrictions imposed by the Jason Kenney government. Feasby said the case can proceed on six common issues impacting all business owners affected by measures imposed by provincial cabinet and issued in the name of Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw. In 2023, Justice Barb Romaine ruled the measures ordered were unlawfully imposed under the Public Health Act because the decisions to issue the CMOH orders were made by cabinet and not Hinshaw. The province has appealed Feasby's certification of the class action, but did not challenge Romaine's earlier ruling the government acted illegally. Feasby said he will try to hand down a decision by next month.

Create Account Ombudsman Paul Dube says in his 2024-25 annual report that there was a 55% increase in complaints about correctional facilities, totalling a record 6,870. Dube says that while the sector has always been the top source of complaints, the nature and severity of what his office has heard and witnessed demand 'urgent attention.' Many of the issues go beyond inefficiencies, Dube says, to the point of raising questions about basic human rights. He says many of the complaints regarding corrections were about 'severe, entrenched problems' such as overcrowding, frequent lockdowns and inadequate health care, as well as inmates with mental-health issues being placed in segregation or Indigenous inmates not having access to a liaison officer.

Read More The ombudsman says his office also recently launched an investigation into a two-day incident at the Maplehurst Correctional Complex in Milton in December 2023, when inmates were ordered to strip to their underwear and sit facing a wall with their wrists zip-tied. 'When we fail to uphold the basic dignity of people in custody, we do more than inflict harm — we erode public trust, degrade working conditions for staff, and weaken the very foundations of our justice system,' he wrote in the report. Cases about youth facilities, which include complaints and inquiries, also more than doubled in the last year, jumping to 423 from 202 the previous year, the report says. A record 3,908 complaints were also filed about municipalities, the report says, and many local officials have been receptive to best practices around fairness, transparency and accountability. The ombudsman says his office received a total of 30,675 cases in the 2024-2025 fiscal year — a 30-year high. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Toronto & GTA Canada Toronto Maple Leafs NHL Music

Mozambique mining drama — Nsimbi Mining Services announces mystery equity partner amid layoffs and strikes
Nsimbi Mining Services, the mining company at the centre of a hostage drama at a coal mine in Mozambique two months ago, says it has a new partner, and its priority is to pay outstanding salaries. Nsimbi Mining Services, the contractor supporting the Moatize Coal Mine in Mozambique's Tete province, has confirmed the arrival of a new equity partner, whose identity remains undisclosed. The announcement comes amid ongoing retrenchments, unpaid salaries, and worker strikes that have deepened the company's operational crisis. Equity deal in progress Nsimbi Mining executive managing director Craig Dube told Daily Maverick that while Nsimbi Mining has not been sold, a new partner has come on board, and the immediate priority is to 'deal with outstanding salaries and severance packages'. 'We agreed on a deal in principle, and lawyers are currently busy with the administration and paperwork,' Dube said. He also added that funds will only become available once the deal is finalised. Workers' frustrations Despite management's assurances, frustration among workers remains high. An anonymous employee described the situation as 'very bad'. confirming that a strike took place on Wednesday, 18 June, with workers demanding their long-overdue salaries. 'They have stopped operations at the mine because it is now a risk for anyone who is seen working, driving or associated with Nsimbi properties,' the worker said. The employee added that unpaid workers have threatened to destroy anything linked to Nsimbi in their communities. 'It is getting worse than it was; people have not been paid until today… the local workers have been retrenched without being paid what is due to them,' the worker said. Worker unrest The retrenchments followed an incident almost two months ago on 29 April, when mine managers were held hostage at the company offices by angry workers demanding months of unpaid wages. This standoff, driven by financial difficulties and withheld passports, left staff stranded and desperate. According to the worker, two South Africans in Mozambique were promised payment by the company on 30 May, but the payments did not materialise. Most other South Africans have returned home, leaving only three, including Dube's sister, who claims to have no information. 'There is an investor who is supposed to bring in equity, but … people who are owed money are now losing their patience,' the worker told Daily Maverick. The human toll The human cost of Nsimbi's collapse is starkly illustrated by Nicolus Molapo's plight. Unable to afford a dignified burial for his late mother because of months of unpaid wages, he embodies the desperation gripping workers. Molapo shared email correspondence with the company. In the email, Nsimbi confirmed his dismissal, stating that 'the majority of the company has been sold' and that he would need to wait for the paperwork to be finalised before receiving his outstanding salary – he is owed about five months' salary. When Molapo asked about returning to work, the response was clear: 'You will NOT be required back.' The reason for this, he was told, would be communicated once his salary was settled.

(Image: Supplied) How Nsimbi Mining got here Founded in 2016, Nsimbi Mining set out to provide innovative equipment and tailored solutions to the mining industry across South Africa and the rest of Africa. The company's mission focused on enhancing safety, improving productivity and reducing operational costs by delivering cutting-edge technology and environmentally friendly solutions. Nsimbi offered a comprehensive range of services for open-pit mining operations, including contract drilling, load and haul services, equipment maintenance and supply of spare parts. Its fleet was equipped with modern service vehicles, on-board welding facilities and communication systems. The company grew by supplying equipment from well-known earthmoving brands and offering leasing options and on-site technical support. It positioned itself as a disruptor in the earthmoving industry, focusing on innovative products and customer-centric service models. However, since early 2024, Nsimbi Mining Services has struggled with delayed payments to workers and suppliers, leading to strikes and unrest. In April 2025, tensions peaked when striking miners held South African managers hostage at the company's Tete offices, demanding months of unpaid wages. Since then, operations have been largely paralysed, with about 200 workers on strike demanding payment of three months' wage arrears. Uncertain future With lawyers still finalising the deal with the new equity partner, Nsimbi Mining Services remains in a state of operational and financial uncertainty. Workers and creditors continue to await overdue payments and clarity on the company's future. DM
