Real Concern as more lions are hacked to death

It is outrageous, another three lions killed. Once again the heads and paws were hacked off and removed. The shocking incident happened in Grobbersdale where one lion was poisoned and two lines a male and female were shot n, Bela Bela. After the unlawful killing, the heads and paws were removed. The lions body parts are presumably destined for the traditional muti market.

Should anybody have any information, please contact Captain Dave Retief, Limpopo Provincial Stock Theft on – 082-319-9460

Once is an event and twice a coincidence; now there is real concern that these are the first occurrences of what could be a rash of lion killings. Is poaching coming to the domain of the lion?

South Africa Today reported on an incident last week about two white lions found poisoned and heads and paws removed on a farm near Stockpoort, Limpopo and that the police had detained two suspects. An investigation into this occurrence is still underway. Now another brutal killing of white lions. It would seem that witchcraft is on the rise in South Africa. The first killing of the white lions was a nightmare, and now that another case has been reported it is a cause of great concern. 

In the last article, it was said that the killing of animals can be used for witchcraft. The killing of animals are often brutal and use sharp rocks, knives, glass and machetes to hack off heads and body parts. In this second instance, it must have been a ritual as there is the belief that body parts of animals and humans have a potent, powerful effect. When an animal is hacked to death, the louder the agonizing screams before the animal surrender to death makes the potion more powerful.

 

Is there a rise in witchcraft activities in South Africa? The majority of South Africans believe in witchcraft, a culture rooted in the past. The horrific evidence is often linked to the continued kidnapping and murder of children and animals. The use of body parts for traditional medicine.

 

There has never been an accurate reflection of how many missing people in South Africa have been murdered for their body parts. There have been cases of where mortuaries attendants have been prosecuted for selling body parts of dead people.

There is the belief that body parts make medicine stronger, and individuals who receive the parts do not care where they come from.  Traditional medicine and witchcraft are a lucrative trade. Do the authorities play down the total number of witchcraft-related murders that significant pales against the 60 murders a day current committed in South Africa? 

Witchcraft raises a dark image for South Africa and not only are the lions killed, but humans are at a risk of being slaughtered for the insanity of an evil deed. Does government intervene, perhaps not as the president openly admitted to participating in these activities?

Reckless Taxi Drivers in South Africa VIDEO

How reckless are taxi drivers in South Africa? Taxi drivers are inconsiderate and arrogant who disobey the rules of the road. Taxis are often involved in fatal accidents and are the cause of many traffic accidents. The drivers of taxi often put the lives of passengers and other road users in danger. 

Is it the lawlessness of taxi drivers that is a major problem on the roads of South Africa. Often taxi drivers will forcefully wedge their way through traffic, having no consideration for other drivers on the road. They often break the rules of the road, all for the sake of getting passengers home safely and quick profit. 

It is the reckless driving and committing traffic violations that are a major concern and cause of accidents on the roads of South Africa. Unfortunately South African motorists have to risk staying alive on the roads due to the irresponsible drivers of taxis. A primary concern is the often blatant disrespect of traffic lights these drivers have. Taxi drivers are always skipping the red lights causing fatal accidents. Motorists dare not reprimand a taxi driver for a violation, as there is the risk of insult and threats. The taxi drivers are a law unto themselves, and taxi violence is nothing new. 

Taxi drivers might say other motorists have no consideration and should allow their vehicles to pass or give them a gap but in doing so, this can cause an accident. It is the indulgence of recklessness that happens daily, and nothing is done to stop the carnage on the roads.

The average motorist is afraid to get involved with taxi driver intolerance for the sake of avoiding harassment, violence, and possible death. More often than not, it is the arrogance of taxi drivers that make driving on South African Roads an unpleasant experience.

Kuwait set free human trafficked Zimbabwean Women and punish perpetrators

Kuwait set free human trafficked Zimbabwean Women and punish perpetrators

• BY: Human Trafficking Task Force
• TARGET: Prime Minister of Kuwait Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah

16 SUPPORTERS

GOAL
10,000

Please take action against human trafficking which is modern day slavery! This petition is about the sexual enslavement and labor exploitation of Zimbabwean women in the Gulf state of Kuwait. Kuwait embassy and immigration officials are involved in human trafficking of Zimbabwean women. More than 200 women have been sent to Kuwait under the disguise of better job opportunity. Upon arrival in Kuwait their passports and cell phones were seized and the women were used as sex slaves and for domestic servitude. TO WATCH THE VIDEO CLICK HERE   https://youtu.be/6P4JCDhUKEs

This trafficking of vulnerable women to Kuwait reminds Africans about the Arab slave trade of 19th-century which exported 28 million Africans to Muslim Middle East and 11 million to Christian western world.

Approximately 60 women have returned through the help of Zimbabwean embassy, NGOs, and individuals. More women are still gagged in Kuwait. In Zimbabwe the perpetrators including Kuwaiti embassy official have been arrested. But in Kuwait no single suspect has been arrested. Kuwait must arrest the perpetrators of this human trafficking.

One Zimbabwean woman related how she was raped and forced to sleep with 5 to 10 men a day in order to compensate the money her new boss or oppressor paid to traffickers.

Human trafficking is a serious violation of human rights and subversion of societal values. Kuwait must be held accountable before the International Court of Justice if it refuses to arrest or punish the perpetrators.
