Thursday 20th January 2021, 0145 Real News. Scrolla.Africa Updated: 5:00pm HAMBA TRUMP! Phillip van Niekerk in Washington DC Donald Trump faces a bleak future as he prepares to leave the White House for the last time on Wednesday. On his way out the door the American President was preparing to pardon more than a hundred of his associates for criminal activities – squeezing one last outrage from his final 24 hours of office. Unlike every President for the last 162 years Trump will not attend the inauguration of his successor Joe Biden. He and his family will fly out to his Mar a Lago resort in Florida where he will have plenty of time to play golf and stew. As the United States and the world prepares to celebrate, it will be all downhill for Don the con: • He is deep in debt – hundreds of millions of dollars in payments will come due as banks refuse to lend to his companies
• His brand is ruined – no-one will want to build Trump Hotels anymore • Even the Professional Golfers’ Association has pulled its competition from his golf course • He faces a slew of legal cases including prosecution for tax fraud in New York • He could be charged for inciting an insurrection – for which he has already been impeached • Twitter and other social media sites have banned him from their platforms • His approval rating is 34% and sinking Before anyone begins to feel sorry for him, Trump has left the US in a mess. As he flies over Washington DC on Airforce One he will have time to reflect on his time in office: four years of non-stop lies and corruption, the rise of white nationalism, two impeachments and the death of 400,000 Americans from Covid. After he lost the election, he told a big fat lie, convincing millions of people that he had won, and egging on thousands of his supporters to storm the Capitol. He will look down on a city that resembles a war zone, capital of a deeply divided nation. So, Donald Trump, the people of South Africa join the rest of the world in saying: “Hamba!”
Croc turns up at Zim hospital outside visiting hours Joseph Chirume They call Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa the crocodile but it was a different member of the species that barged into a hospital in Zimbabwe on Monday. Patients at Chiredzi General Hospital were stunned when a giant crocodile appeared in the corridor. The crocodile was filmed in a video that has gone viral. He is seen moving into a ward while astonished voices debate what to do about him. A man's voice is heard saying: "A crocodile has power while in the water. Even if you come closer (when it is on dry land) it will do you no harm." No one wanted to test this theory. Zimbabwe has one of the worst health infrastructures and poorest hospital services in Southern Africa after years of neglect and corruption. Chiredzi is a world class sugar producing town and has numerous waterways created to irrigate the sweet plant - perfect conditions for a croc.
Sobaa Ncube, a resident of Chiredzi, said: "There's a sewer trail which leads to Chiredzi River and when it rains, crocodiles are seen around because they follow that stream." One man, Talent Tawengwa, said jokingly: "Its owner is in that hospital so it came to see him." Leo Dzingai added: "It wanted to be treated for Covid-19.” Picture source: @DailyCrocodiles ANC to kick the Ace can down the road again Zukile Majova The future of Ace Magashule as secretary of the ruling party takes centre stage again when the ANC National Executive Committee meets this week. At the end of last year, the ANC National Integrity Committee recommended Magashule should step down or be suspended from his position. On Thursday and Friday the ANC bigwigs are expected to discuss this recommendation. The likelihood is the party kicks the can down down the road to the National General Council in April. This is a battle for the soul of the ANC, and is unlikely to be resolved quickly.
A standing conference resolution of the ANC says any office bearer or public representative of the ANC officially charged with a criminal offence should protect the integrity of the party, and step aside until cleared by the courts. Magashule has been charged with fraud and corruption stemming from the R255 million asbestos tender saga dating back to when he was premier of the Free State. He is due in court on February 19. His run-ins with the law have now cast doubt on the seriousness of the ANC's message of rooting out corruption at municipal level. If no action is taken against Magashule, he'd be expected to lead the ANC campaign ahead of the local government elections later this year. In a previous interview with Scrolla.Africa, Magashule told us only ANC branches could remove him from his position. He made a veiled threat to his comrades who were fighting to remove him. “Some people want to use the structures of the ANC to deal with their opponents. I stand for unity and the branches entrusted me with the role of uniting the party when they elected me in 2017." Last August President Cyril Ramaphosa wrote a letter to ANC members to help get rid of corruption within the ANC.
" … we now need to draw a line in the sand. "We need to act urgently, we need to be decisive and we need to demonstrate a clear political will. The time has come for the ANC to be unflinching in restoring the values, ethics and standing of our organisation. "Our deeds must, always, match our words. "We cannot as the ANC rightfully call ourselves leaders of society if we fail to lead the people in eradicating corruption from our own ranks.” How does the Beast of Tembisa compare to the world’s worst rapists? Everson Luhanga Gift Mkhwanazi’s case sitting at the Johannesburg High Court could be one for the history books. The “beast of Tembisa” who allegedly raped at least 33 women over six years in Tembisa was arrested in December 2019. He faces countless charges including rape, kidnapping and robbery among others.
In previous years, South Africa has seen other sexual predators, many of whom have also killed. Here are some of the shocking cases and sentences for rapists in South Africa and other parts of the world: Moses Sithole Moses Sithole has his name in the books for being the worst serial rapist in South Africa. Sithole did not only rape, but his charges ranged from rape to murder and kidnapping. Between 16 July 1994 and 6 November 1995, Moses Sithole brutally raped at least forty women and murdered thirty-eight of his victims. He was sentenced to 2,410 years in prison. Jack Mogale Jack Mogale was dubbed the West-End Serial Killer by police. On 17 February 2011, Mogale was convicted on 52 of 61 charges related to 16 murders, 19 rapes, and 9 kidnappings. Reynhard Tambos Maruli Tua Sinaga Reynhard Tambos Maruli Tua Sinaga is considered the world’s worst serial rapist. He was convicted of 159 sex offences, including 136 rapes of young men committed in Manchester, England, between 2015 and 2017.
Thokoza Stocko – the slaying sangoma Everson Luhanga “Slay queen” or “stocko” are words that offend some women - but Reneilwe Mhlongo from Midrand is happy to be known by her community as a slaying sangoma. She is often greeted by the words: “thokoza stocko,” instead of “thokoza gogo.” Because of her beauty, many people - especially men - hit on her in the name of going for a consultation. Reneilwe Mmamolatelo Mhlongo said being a sangoma does not stop her from living her life to the fullest. “I know some people have the stigma that sangomas are strange people or they should dress in a certain way, but that is not true,” she said. “I am a qualified sangoma but I dress beautifully and I slay the way I want,” she said. “I look after my body and my soul while I heal people - and most of all I help and heal people.” Known as gogo Mahlasela, her ancestral name, Gogo Stocko said she became a sangoma after many years of denying her calling and she didn’t want to thwasa, but after being sick for a long time, senior sangomas advised her to accept the gift.
Two years ago, she embarked on the journey of becoming a sangoma. She graduated in July. “It was an amazing journey to become a sangoma,” she said. “But one thing I didn't lose was being a slaying woman.” The 31-year-old mother of three said she receives many messages on her social media platforms. “Sometimes men ask me to go to them, pretending they need help while they just want to propose love to me. My ancestors pick up those kinds of men and I don’t let them come near my indumba,” she said. “But I assist those who come for help and appreciate my beauty at the same time.” She said the phrases thokoza stocko and the slaying sangoma do not offend her but she sees it as an appreciation of her beautiful body. “I go to gym, I eat healthy foods and I look after myself,” she said. She said she loves being adventurous and exploring new and better things in life. “I love being out and about. It fulfils my life,” she said. “I love my family and my three children are my weak point. I love them to bits. I would love to have more children – at least six!”
Gogo Stocko said life hasn’t been easy with Covid-19. But she said she appreciates the gift of life and the protection from her ancestors and God for her family. Chef arrested for erection confection Arthur Greene A female pastry chef has been arrested by Egyptian security forces after supplying cupcakes with penis decorations to guests at a private birthday party in Cairo. Several of the guests who attended the party at the exclusive Gezira sports club shared pictures of the pastries on social media. These images instantly went viral, and they have since rocked the entire nation. They caused a stir at Egypt’s largest state-owned newspaper, Al Ahram, which described the explicit cakes as ‘indecent and immoral shapes’. They even blurred out the images of them in the same report. Meanwhile, the cakes caught the interest of the country’s minister for youth and sports, Dr Ashraf Sobhy, who oversees clubs such as Gezir. He said his department would form a committee to investigate the incident and punish the alleged perpetrators.
And that is exactly what happened. Police detained the chef at her home before taking her in for questioning. In tears, she reportedly told interrogators that the party-goers “came to my shop and handed me pictures of genitals, and asked me for cakes in these forms.” The baker was finally released on a bail of the equivalent of R 5,000. A large price to pay for a baker’s dozen of penis cakes. Living room destroyed by volcanic vagina Arthur Greene A $75 candle which smells like Hollywood A-lister Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina reportedly exploded into flames in the living room of a UK woman. The “This Smells Like My Vagina” candle, which costs roughly R 1,100, is produced and sold by Paltrow’s high-end lifestyle empire Goop.
However, the Brit in fact won the candle on an online quiz, so we are still left wondering who on earth would pay for something like this. Reportedly, the candle instantly combusted upon being lit, emitting a 50cm flame. “The candle exploded and emitted huge flames, with bits flying everywhere,” Jody Thompson, 50, told the Sun Newspaper. "I’ve never seen anything like it. The whole thing was ablaze and it was too hot to touch. There was an inferno in the room.” According to the Goop website, the candle’s scent notes include geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed. Against all odds, this candle has proved immensely popular, and Goop has expanded the scent’s range to include a $45 (R 675) roll-on deodorant. So now your armpits can smell of Gwenyth Paltrow’s vagina too, but just be careful they don’t get burned off.
Aunt wants her nephew to learn his lesson in jail Kabelo Tlhabanelo Even since her stolen car was recovered on Sunday, Khunjulwa Ndlwayivulwa has refused to drop charges of theft against her nephew. The woman from Mangaung in the Free State wants her 19- year-old nephew to learn his lesson in prison. The young man who has a history of drug abuse was admitted to a rehabilitation centre for eight months before he was discharged at the end of November last year. She said she will still continue to help him when he comes back from prison but she wants him to be punished. Khunjulwa told Scrolla.Africa that her car was recovered on Sunday after it was stolen on 12 January. “He came back at the end of November and I thought he was a good person again. Clearly I was wrong because he stole my car.” The nephew was arrested after she handed him to the police and he said his friend had stolen the keys from his pocket while he was sleeping.
"I was happy to find my car again but I am not dropping charges. This has shown that he is back to his old ways and I want him to learn a lesson behind bars. I will help him again when he comes out after serving his sentence.” Police spokesperson Colonel Thandi Mbambo said: “We can confirm the victim’s nephew was arrested on 15 January and a second suspect was arrested on 17 January. Both suspects were charged with the use of a vehicle without the owner's permission with the possibility of adding another charge. The car was recovered in the possession of the second suspect.” CHIEFS ARE ON A ROLL Menzi Magubane Confident Kaizer Chiefs continued with their winning form while DStv Premiership log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns dropped crucial points in Tuesday’s matches. For Amakhosi it was their biggest win of the season. They beat relegation threatened Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila 3-0. Sundowns on the other hand were held 0-0 at home by Bloemfontein Celtic. The draw left second place Swallows with a big chance to get on top if they win tomorrow against Chippa United.
The biggest talking point was the Chiefs' first win at home which they did in a convincing way. Young midfielders Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Happy Mashiane continued with their scoring form. They once again registered their names on the score sheet on Tuesday with Ngcobo giving Chiefs the lead in the first half and Mashiane coming from the bench in the second stanza to score the winning goal. These two also scored in Chiefs’ 2-1 win away at Cape Town City on Saturday. Lebohang Manyama, also coming from the bench, scored on his first touch to give Chiefs a 2-0 lead. The best player of the match was Samir Nurkovic who was instrumental in all Chiefs goals. He was named man of the match at the end of the game and dedicated his award to Amakhosi fans. "A team as big as Chiefs deserves nothing but victories in all their matches. It was sad to see them struggle at the beginning. But now I'm back and I'm enjoying my game. Chiefs fans deserve to be happy all the time," said Nurkovic. Tshakhuma's win was Chiefs’ third in a row and it has taken them to seventh place. For Tshakhuma the defeat took them down the relegation zone. They remain in 15th place but they could find themselves rooted at the bottom should TS Galaxy, who are in 16th place, win tomorrow against Maritzburg United.
Meanwhile, Swallows coach Brandon Trutter and midfielder Ruzaigh Gamildien were named coach and player of the month for December/January. This was Trutter's second individual monthly award for two months in succession.
