Quake hits India!



Indian earthquake: leaving two people injured






























India was shaken by a shallow 5.4 magnitude earthquake on Friday that sent people fleeing into the streets in panic, damaged building and left two injured. The quake was shallow at depth of 11km. One house collapsed and cracks appeared in some buildings in a quake, which had its epicenter in Guwahati, the main commercial city of the mineral and tee rich state of Assam (News24).


It is so sad to see how some people in other countries have to live their lives. Not to be rude or anything but I am truly greatfull to be living in South Africa, there are no natural disasters, not that I know of. But I just hope those two people who got hurt recover soon. I t is so unfortunate that they had to go through something like that.

Now you are in deep trouble

Being hungry for money and fame can ruin your life!


The 'fake Mgqumeni' in court



Early this month a man claimed to be the late Maskandi singer Nqunu Mgumeni. He claimed that he was not dead he was kidnapped by zombies, he was then investigated and he turned out not to be him. He was then arrested and was charged with fraud . His real name is Sibusiso Gcabashe. Today (04. May.2012) there was drama at the Nquthu Magistrate court in Northern Kwazulu-Natal, as the man accused of impersonating Maskandi musician Kwakhe Mgqumeni Khumalo tried to escape. 

The accused jumped two rows of seats to escape from court. Police recaptured and handcuffed him. His lawyer told the court that Sibusiso Gcabashe is sick and needs medical treatment urgently (which is a lie by the way). Meanwhile, his previous legal Representative announced that he is withdrawing from representing the accused and attorney Johan Botha now represents him. The case has been adjourned to the 22 of May.

Some people play with fire and expect not to get burnt. Furthermore, Being supper hungry for money and fame can get you in deep trouble, rather work hard to succeed in life, than trying to work smart, taking short cuts and ending up nowhere. Like they say: 'Sometimes you will be walking in a dark tunnel then you start seeing a light and think that it is an opportunity, only to find out that, the light you saw was a truck, so be careful not to get hit'

Suspended Cricket South Africa (CSA) chief executive Gerald Majola faced criminal probe and  civil claim for the repayment of illegal bonus allegedly paid to him by the Indian Premier League. A civil process will be launched by CSA. The Hawks have been to CSA and are in the process of their investigation, sports minister Fikile Mbalula told reporters. Judge Chris Nicholson announced last month that Majola had received R1.8 million rand in unauthorized bonuses from the IPL, as well as irregular travel expenses, in contravention of the companies act.  Nicholson recommended that Majola be suspended, the bonus money be recovered and that CSA undergo restructuring of their board and government process. http://www.iol.co.za

Why would you suspend a person who has committed crime instead of firing them straight up? They are just getting a slap on the wrist and that is it. Corruption has became part of our lives  to an extend where by in the end, it is going to be described as part of our culture. Majola was supposed to be fired so that he can learn and know that what he did was a criminal offence, and that bribery is also a criminal offence. And it is funny how they commit crime and try to lie their way out or how they can just get a bail and move on with their lives.
