Former tour guide Johan Leibbrandt was shot and killed in Barberton
by the police and the circumstances remain a mystery. The shooting
occurred on Sunday, and the Lowfelder journalist Stefan de Villiers
wrote on July 22 that three different versions are circulating
surrounding the circumstances of his death.
Leibbrandt lived with his mother in Pretoria, and after the death of
his father about a year ago, looked after her as she suffered from
Alzheimer. On the day of the fatal shooting, he went with his mother to
visit friends in Barberton. The mother being a sufferer of Alzheimer was
unable to tell the police what happened.
According to a police spokesman Brig. Selvy Mohlala three police
officers, a woman, and two men, reacted to a complaint received of a
break-in. The incident happened at the house of the Leibbrandt friends
whom they were visiting. When the police arrived, both Leibbrandt and
his mother were spotted next to the road, apparently waiting to report
the break-in that has just occurred. The police offered to take them
back to the police station, but Leibbrandt became anxious about his
mother being placed in the back of a police van. The two police officers
climbed into the back of the van and allowed both Leibbrandt and his
mother to sit in the front of the vehicle.
According to police officer Mohlala, Leibbrandt assaulted the driver
and tried to take away her firearm, and a shot went off, hitting
Leibbrandt in the chest, killing him instantly. Mohlala could not
explain to the Lowfelder journalist why they had taken both Leibbrandt
and his mother in the police van, nor could an explanation be given why
the two were standing next to the road.
The second version of the tragic incident comes from a female friend
of the family and family members, who are trying to establish what
happened and said that before Leibbrandt had died, she received and SMS
in Afrikaans from him, stating that the police had kidnapped him. The
family reported that the police officers tried to push both Leibbrandt
and his mother into the police van and that Leibbrandt sought to resist.
The third version is from the gossipers in town. READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE - PUBLISHED ON

Zuma wants to be a dictator for six months
Jacob Zuma, the all inclusive president of South Africa wants six
months to do as he pleases, run the country as a dictator and put the
country back on the right track. Zuma was addressing a group of primary
school children in Tembisa. Zuma knows how to save South Africa. Now we
are aware how desperate the president and the ANC are. So much for the
democracy that was handed to the ANC 22 years ago that people forget to
ask Zuma for his definition of democracy.
Zuma has been at the helm for eight years, and South Africa has turned into a “wrecking ball”, what on earth would the president do in six months. Of course giving Zuma six months would be like giving him free rein. Does the president believe the people are naïve and allow something so outrageous? Zuma said the freedom to take over would eliminate the collective, resolution decisions and petitions that are a lot of work. However, being free to turn the situation around would make it easier for the president to speed up progress. Accelerate the process of destroying the country, after all, the ANC seem to think that the Constitution is the cause of their failure, and that would be the first change Zuma would make.
Zuma elaborated on education and said it would be compulsory for all unemployed, and it would be more than compulsory, for anyone walking around the streets would be arrested. Another focus was unemployment; they would have to go back to school. Can you imagine all the 40-year-olds back at school? Zuma did say, that people cannot study religion because there were too many priests, rather people should explore plumbing.
Zuma handed out school bags and blankets to the school and told the youngsters not to believe that he was not educated. Zuma said he took a decision to educate himself after the death of his father.
Now we know that Zuma is educated and has a plan, but needs the people to allow the president to implement the dictatorship for six months. It is a joke, can an educated man, who proclaims that South Africa is a democratic country expect the people to allow such nonsense.

Malema – white hobos have hot water
On an election trail in Limpopo Malema told his followers that
democracy was at work in South Africa. Malema said that seeing white
hobos proved that the democracy was working. As usual, Malama
entertained the massive crowd when he recounted a conversation he had
with a homeless white man in Polokwane.
Malema said he was jubilant when the homeless white man asked him for a hundred rand. He said democracy is at work here if white people ask for money. Malema went on to say that even if white people are hobos, they never forget that they are white. He said, the white people never compromise on their standards, and do not take anything less than what they think they deserve.
A serious Malema continued and said, “ you got a house, but your house is not anywhere close to where the white hobo is going to sleep. You are not a hobo, but you do not have water.” Malema went on to say “a white hobo says to me, there is where we sleep, there is warm water, but you do not have water. A white hobo will never sleep where there is no hot water; you are sleeping where there is no water at all.”
Malama is on the campaign trail ahead of the local government elections and continues to expand on the theme of calling for a dignified life for all black people. Malema wants free electricity and water for the poor among other essentials. Malema believes that the poor do not deserve less. Black is beautiful and not a curse, Malema told the crowd. Malema said that the people who died for freedom have continued to suffer after the end of apartheid and reminded the followers that they have the power to change the situation.

Dirty crime infested Diepsloot township governed by ANC – VIDEO
Diepsloot is overcrowded, and the situation worsens every day. So
what have the African National Congress (ANC) government done in the
last 22 years? When townships such as Diepsloot became home to thousands
of people and deteriorat into inhuman living conditions, then there
must be a problem. We all know what the problem is, the ANC government,
who proclaim that they are the party that delivers, sets people free and
the only party that can lead South Africa. It is a big fat lie!
Then we ask why do the people vote for the ANC when it is as clear as daylight that their lives are in a mess, that there is no freedom, no education, no homes, no electricity, no water, no medical services, no roads and so the lists goes on. The people vote for the ANC because they are conditioned, into believing the lies of the ANC. The people clap their hands, sing a song and experience a moment of joy when the ANC gives them a T-shirt, and a food parcel. The short-lived joy turns into desperation and despair, as the reality of life does not change. That is the problem, change; they do not know how to change their lives because they are kept under the spell of the ANC.
Diepsloot, a place of unemployment, filth, crime, mob-justice, overcrowding, health issues, drugs, kidnapping, human trafficking, xenophobia and infrastructure that is broken. A place that will never get attention, a place that will remain a crime infested hole for the ANC voters while the elite lives in luxury.
Watch the video, and remember this is only one of the thousands of townships (Squatter camps) around South Africa.
