A WOMAN ARRESTED FOR OPENING INDECENT EXPOSURE CASE AGAINST DEAD MAN. A 25-year old woman have been arrested in Durban for opening a false case over a deceased man. The woman claimed that she met with the dead (a 76-year old who was a businessman) this year on February 19 for employment purposes. But it was confirmed even in Home Affairs that the suspect died on April 2016. Colonel Thembeka Mbhele said it was then concluded that the woman opened a case 'based on lies' and should be arrest because she committed a crime. No information confirmed that she was telling the truth. Above all the wrong she did, she wasted the resources of the state on nothing. The Provincial commissioner Bheki Langa warns people to never do anything like this again because they will end-up in jail. I wonder what the woman was expecting to gain on all this?... Many innocent creatures are in jail but they did nothing wrong, they are there because of people like this woman, people who lay charges ag...

ZIMBABWE DOCTORS' STRIKE CRIPPLES HOSPITALS...PATIENTS TURNED AWAY   Harare- Zimbabwe main state hospital turned away many patients and only attended to emergency cases on Wednesday as the doctors' strike started. The course of the strike is, junior doctors want an increase in their salaries and also wants the government to address drugs shortages in the hospitals. The Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association said that they will only return to work when all their issues have been fully resolved. Emmerson Mnangagwa(the Zimbabwean President) has vowed to revive the economy and boost investment after the issues which were not resolved by Mugabe(the former president of Zimbabwe) including the salaries issue. The new government must address the doctors' grievances urgently to save people's lives. All that is happening in Zimbabwe affect every resident of that country especially the sick ones. Yes the doctors want their issues to be resolved but what about the patients? I...

REMAINS OF PAC ACTIVISTS EXHUMED AFTER 50 YEARS. Bodies of nine PAC activists have been exhumed this week after being hanged during the apartheid regime. It is said that more than 50 years ago, the fallen activists were taken in Gallows in Pretoria to be executed for their crimes. So last week, the families of the activists were invited to the very same place. The initiative was conducted by by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission(TRC) unit of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, together with the Missing Persons Task Team(MPTT) of the National Prosecuting Authority. The remains of nine members of the PAC(which is now a political party) were exhumed, which were hanged between 1963 and 1967. But it's been a long time. Their souls must have been resting in peace and suddenly they are dug up, eish. They died in a horrible way in the first place.Of what use would be to exhume their remains after all these years? But then, they know what they want to do w...

The EFF launched its campaign ahead of next year's elections on Sunday in Joburg. Julius Malema, the leader of the EFF said South Africans keep voting for ANC but always look up to EFF to solve their daily struggles. Malema said his party is the solution to problems faced by South African black people. "Every time our people are beaten by whites , they tag the EFF on Twitter but when they vote, they vote for ANC," he said. Malema said black people earn less and are not noticed for promotion in the private sector in favour of their white colleagues. He said that they are taking DA out of Nelson Mandela Bay because SA people want land. He added that the EFF would not vote ANC into power if Mcebisi Jonas( the former deputy finance minister under ex-president Jacob Zuma ) did ...

I don't know where this world is going. Who is going to catch criminals when our police who are responsible for that are killed? Who is going to protect our society if the very same people who can do that are murdered?  Source: News24 Link: https:...

'HORROR' AS DOCTOR CUTS OPEN WRONG PATIENT'S HEAD-REPORTS Two men had been wheeled into the hospital in the previous weekend. One needed a surgery to remove a blood clot in his head and the other man only needed nursing and medication to heal a trauma swelling in hid head. The doctor(a Kenyan) who was performing the surgery mistakenly performed it on the wrong patient, i.e the one who only came for nursing and medication. It was then realised later during the surgery that they were dealing with the wrong patient when they discovered that the patient had no blood clot in the brain. The hospital said that it had done all it could to ensure the safety and the well-being of the patient in question, they also suspended the doctor who was responsible for the surgery. But other doctors are against the suspension of their colleague. They state that it is nurses who wrongly labelled the patients and that the doctor did nothing wrong. Mistakes happen everywhere and we learn f...

KILLING OF A TAXIFY CAB DRIVER CONDEMNED A scandal in Johannesburg, a taxify cab driver was murdered. According to Sunnyside police spokesperson Captain Daniel Mavimbela, Ngcobo(the deceased) was discovered on Thursday in the boot of a burnt Chevrolet Ave(taxify vehicle)near the Sunnyside Unisa Campus. In the meantime, no one have been caught for the murder of the dead. Nkosi Malobane (the Gauteng community safety MEC) has condemned the killing of the deceased in the strongest possible and hopes that no stone will be left unturned when investigations are done. She urged the members of the community to work with the police in finding the criminals because she believes that by working together they can move forward. That person had a family that he worked for, people that were looking up on him. And now that he's dead, maybe those people are left with no one. I also think that the communities should work with the police in order to put the world into a better form. What do...

PROTECT YOURSELF IN THE WORKPLACE These days many terrible things happen everywhere, so there's no place to hide, people just need to protect themselves. I have just heard that Donald Trump, the USA president, says he supports taking firearms from certain dangerous people even if it violates their legal rights. The president in his speech continued by saying, "take the firearms first then go to court". the president's statement is the latest idea following the Parkland shooting, Florida where 17 people were killed at a certain High school in America two weeks ago. Donald Trump allowed teachers to carry weapons in school in order to protect themselves. As for myself, I think I agree with the president's idea of carrying weapons in "the workplace", What do you guys think? Do you support the president's statement???
