WATCH: Hero farmer disarms attackers – and forces them to flee!
There’s no glass in the world large enough to contain the size of the Bell’s this man deserves. After being ambushed at his property on Sunday evening, a farmer heroically went from victim to shot-caller in a heartbeat, thanks to these rapid reactions.
The farmer, who is yet to be identified, has been hailed for his all-action response. CCTV footage taken from the scene captures the moment a group of three men sneak onto the property, via an entrance in the garage. It doesn’t take them long to find the occupant.
WATCH: Johannesburg man hijacked and kidnapped in driveway
A shocking video of a man hijacked and kidnapped in a driveway in Johannesburg on Monday evening has gone viral.
In the video, a white car is seen parked in front of a residential gate in Kensington, Johannesburg, when a black car is seen approaching. Two armed men jump out of the car. One man runs to the driver’s side while the other to the passenger side.
The driver is forcefully removed and pushed into the black vehicle before it takes off. One of the hijackers/kidnappers gets into the white car and struggles to get the car started.
Here is everything you need to know about the #NationalShutdown
The National Shutdown is planned for Wednesday and will take place in several parts of South Africa.
But what do you know about the National Shutdown? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered – from the assembly point down to the routes. The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) has shared details about the times and assembly posts for the strike.
Taking to Twitter, COSATU shared a series of images for the meeting points of those participating in the national strike. Everyone is expected to meet at 9:00 on 24 August 2022.
‘He is a pervert!’ – Julius Malema says ANC minister MUST resign
Storm clouds are circling above Enoch Godongwana and his political career this week. The Finance Minister has been accused of sexual harassment while recently receiving a massage. The claims have enraged Julius Malema, who is now demanding a swift resignation.
The allegations arose from a Kruger National Park masseuse who laid a complaint against Godongwana, after he allegedly ‘fondled’ her. The minister denies the accusations. This incident is alleged to have happened two weeks ago, when Godongwana and his wife took a private trip.
George Mashamba, the head of the ruling party’s integrity commission, stated that they would deliberate on the allegations against the Finance Minister. But it seems Mr. Godongwana is already guilty, in the eyes of Julius Malema.
