Ungrateful African Migrants Attack South African Samaritan Who Sheltered 100 Migrants




[From article]
THE good Samaritans who took onto their farm over 100 refugees displaced by this year’s xenophobic violence, now claim they have been threatened with murder by the same people they had set out to help.
Besides property being destroyed, the ­family who took in the immigrants have also been accused of not helping them to be ­relocated back home or to another country, driving a chasm between them.
[. . .]
Kind of reminds me of this:
Because they don’t have free wi-fi, a gang of African migrants in their tiny host town in Italy rioted, blocking streets, demonstrating and turning over garbage bins.
The refugees, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, have been in a villa in the Italian town of Ceranova, courtesy of the country’s taxpayers. Under Italian rules, they can not work, so they lounge about, spending their free time using Skype to call their families back home, Breitbart is reporting.
But it’s impossible to Skype without wi-fi, so they’re demanding faster service.
[. . .]
The ideology of victimology is a cancer on humanity.

Updated: Pistorius Convicted of Murder By Appeals Court, Overturns Lesser Conviction For Manslaughter

[From article]
A South African appeals court on Thursday convicted Oscar Pistorius of murder, overturning a lower court’s conviction of the double-amputee Olympian on the lesser charge of manslaughter for shooting girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp to death in 2013.
Justice Lorimer Eric Leach of the Supreme Court of Appeal delivered the ruling by the five-judge appeals court in Bloemfontein and directed the trial court, the North Gauteng High Court, to impose sentence.
[. . .]
Leach said regardless of who might have been behind the door, Pistorius should have known someone could be killed if he fired.
“The identity of his victim is irrelevant to his guilt,” the judge said.
Under the concept of “dolus eventualis” in South African law, a person can be convicted of murder if they foresaw the possibility of someone dying through their actions and went ahead anyway.
Reeva Steenkamp’s mother, June, sat quietly in the courtroom during the announcement, which was carried on TV. Pistorius was not there.

[From article]
In a lengthy verdict phase climaxing Oscar Pistorius’ trial, the judge said Thursday he can’t be found guilty of murder but that he was negligent in the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, raising the possibility he’ll be convicted of culpable homicide.
Judge Thokozile Masipa said she felt the double-amputee Olympian acted negligently when he fatally shot Steenkamp through a toilet door in his home in the predawn hours of Valentine’s Day last year. In a moment of high drama, she then stopped reading out her judgment in the six-month-long trial and adjourned until Friday.
[. . .]
Culpable homicide normally carries a five-year jail sentence in South Africa when a firearm is used, but it can be changed by a judge depending on the specific circumstances of the killing.

Updated: Woman Executive Found Dead In Exotic South African Resort, Boyfriend Suspected


Posted August 2, 2015 9:34 PM ET; Last updated August 4, 2015 4:30 AM ET


Gabriela Kabrins Alban, 39, of Los Angeles

[From article]
The man accused of brutally killing American marketing executive Gabriela Kabrins at a luxury resort in South Africa is the troubled 'black sheep' of a billionaire family, Daily Mail Online can reveal.
Guatemalan playboy Diego Dougherty, 41, was charged with murder after his girlfriend Gaby's body was found along with a large quantity of cocaine in their hotel room in the affluent Cape Town beachside suburb of Camps Bay last Wednesday.
He is now being treated in a prison hospital for 'emotional reasons' following at least two fainting spells since his arrest.
Police say 39-year-old LA-based Kabrins was severely beaten and suffered an horrific sexual assault before being strangled to death at the five-star Camps Bay Retreat Boutique Hotel.[. . .]
Daily Mail Online can now reveal that prime suspect Dougherty is a member of the Dougherty Novella clan - one of the most powerful families in Central America, whose cement business is estimated to be worth billions of dollars.
[. . .]
Family sources tell Daily Mail Online that murder suspect Dougherty is the 'black sheep' of the super-rich clan - a drug-addicted playboy who has never worked and who is regularly bailed out of trouble by his family.
Investigators in South Africa believe Kabrins's death resulted from a drug-fueled sex session gone wrong.
Dougherty was arrested after he was spotted wandering on a nearby beach following the discovery of Gaby's body.
It is believed Kabrins, who was of Mexican descent and spoke fluent Spanish, originally met him in the US when they were younger and they recently reconnected through social media.
A friend said she was in love with Dougherty and regularly visited him for long periods in Guatemala.
The pair first met at Pepperdine University in Malibu and Dougherty spent a number of years in the US - where the Dougherty Novella family owns homes in New York, Miami and Los Angeles.
[. . .]
But the family source revealed: 'Diego had a very privileged upbringing and became a spoiled brat. He has never had a job and lived the life of a playboy, full of vices and eccentricities.
'In Guatemala he has got himself into a lot of minor trouble but he always got out of it thanks to the family influence.
'His school friends say that when he drinks he turns into a savage. In recent years he has become a heavy user of crack and cocaine.'
Although police say they believe he was taking part in a drug deal, as 1lb. of cocaine was found in his room, sources in Guatemala insist that cannot be the case.
'He is a user, not a dealer. He doesn't need the money,' said one.

Gabriela Kabrins Alban, 39, of Los Angeles, was found dead at about 3 p.m. in her room at the Camps Bay Retreat, a luxury boutique hotel where rooms cost up to $10,000 per night. Police spokesperson Noloyiso Rwexana declined to say Alban died or confirm reports she was sexually assaulted, but said her death is being treated as a case of murder. A 41-year-old suspect identified in local reports as Diego Guarte, a Guatemalan national, was under arrest in connection with the case.
[. . .]
South Africa is extremely sensitive to the potential damage to its tourist industry that such an incident can cause, and likely to have put a top team of detectives on the case. Local observers have been quick to point out in a country with a high crime rate that the case appears to involve two foreigners, and that no South Africans are involved.

Not Enough Race Hustlers In The US, Comedy Central Imports Them





[From article]
On Monday, Comedy Central announced that South African comedian Trevor Noah would be replacing Jon Stewart as host of The Daily Show. To get a feel for Noah's brand of humor, one could simply watch his debut on the fake news show in December of 2014, when he jokingly declared that present-day America had worse race relations than Apartheid South Africa. After introducing Noah as the show's newest contributor at the time, Stewart noted: "And I know that you flew in, I guess, yesterday from South Africa." Noah replied: "Yeah, I just flew in and boy are my arms tired....No, no, seriously, I've been holding my arms like this since I got here." He made the completely discredited "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" gesture with his hands and added: "I never thought I'd be more afraid of police in America than in South Africa. It kind of makes me a little nostalgic for the old days back home."
[. . .]
Later in the exchange, Stewart wondered: "But you're not saying that things in Africa are better than they are in America, are you?" Noah responded: "No, no, no, I'm not saying that – you guys are saying that."
[. . .]
With Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore having already taken over Stephen Colbert's time slot, the addition of Noah may give Comedy Central a full hour of late-night race-baiting.

South Africa Reports High Incidence of Police Detaining Women To Rape Them



The report said a typical case involved an officer stopping a young woman in a public place, before taking her away to be raped in the back of a police vehicle. 
File photo
[From article]
In a number of incidents, the police officer used his authority to force the victims to submit to his demands.
In one incident, a woman was raped several times while in custody and in another, a woman was raped in court.
Nine out of the 26 listed rape cases occurred in either police station cells or official police vehicles.
The report says in a typical case, a police officer would stop a young woman in a public place, before taking her away to be raped in the back of a police vehicle and then setting her free.
It found a 'significant evidence of a trend' where police officers detain women in order to rape them.
A 2011 version of the report had similar results, including a serious problem with sexual violence by police officers in a country which has one of the highest recorded rates of rape in the world.

Pistorius' Tale Why He Killed A Beautiful Woman



Olympian and Paralympian Oscar Pistorius developed a determination but also a dangerous aggressiveness growing up and competing with a disability. He now faces up to 25 years for the killing of his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp (left.)Photo: (Left) Nick Boulton/FHM/Contour by Getty Images, (right) AP

[From article]
Pistorius’ elementary-school years, the report finds, were “probably also the consolidation of a split in his personality . . . ‘the two Oscars’: the one a vulnerable, scared disabled person, the other a strong physical person achieving beyond expectation.”
[. . .]
By the time Pistorius met South African model and reality-TV star Reeva Steenkamp in November 2012, he was a national hero and an international icon. He had just competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics, and though he didn’t win a medal, he had been the first double amputee ever to compete, running on a pair of carbon-fiber prosthetics. She was a rising star, a beauty with a law degree who also worked to raise awareness about domestic violence.

Mandela Member of Communist Party


[From article]
The South African Communist Party is admitting Nelson Mandela was a high-ranking member. Will the media report these facts? Or will the “myth” continue to prevail?
My friend Victor Lasky used to write books about liberal or left-wing figures that carried the name of the person and the subtitle, “The Man and the Myth.” He would compare the coverage of a political figure with the truth. The coverage of the death of Nelson Mandela has focused mostly on the myth. Key facts are being omitted, including Mandela’s secret membership in the South African Communist Party (SACP), which may shed light on the future of South Africa.
[. . .]
Sampson says that Mandela “recruited” Joe Slovo to Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the armed wing of the African National Congress, for a “campaign of sabotage” in South Africa. Slovo, in turn, “brought in a small group of communist experts” who knew about explosives. Slovo, a white communist, was dubbed “the KGB colonel” by those who considered him an agent or member of Soviet intelligence.
[. . .]
Clearly, Mandela was not honest with the public about his deep involvement with communism, including membership in the South African Communist Party. Then, again, Obama was never honest with the American people about his mentor, Communist Party operative Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Soviet espionage apparatus in Hawaii.
