PHUMLA Dubani (51) was in terrible pain last March when a churchgoing gogo came to pray at her bedside. Now the gogo has allegedly stolen from Phumla!

Phumla, from Katlehong in Ekurhuleni, said the gogo used her ID and address to get an R80 000 loan. The bank is threatening to repossess Phumla’s house and many other churchgoers have said they were also scammed.

Phumla said: “She asked me if I had a bank account she could use to have money transferred. I didn’t have an active account and she said she would open one.”

Phumla gave the suspect her ID and proof of residence. Five months later, she started receiving calls from the bank saying she owed money.

She opened a case at the Tokoza Police Station and the suspect was arrested and charged with fraud.

Police spokesman Captain Piet Rossouw said the suspect was released on bail. She will appear in the Alberton Magistrates Court tomorrow.

GOGO Nonkanyiso Dakuse (74) was a good stokvel treasurer.

But then her 23-year-old Indian Ben 10 promised her discounted rates for the stokvel’s tour to Cape Town – and that is when the trouble started!

The Ben 10, known as Mohammed Motsepe, has now disappeared with the sum of R65 000 belonging to the Transkei Retired Educators’ Stokvel.

The members were told they would spend a week’s holiday at the five-star Table Bay Hotel and they would fly in an executive jet.

Instead, in the end they had to sleep in the Khayelitsha community hall and travel in a “bhokhwe” bus to Cape Town.

“We almost died of shock when we heard Motsepe had disappeared with our money.

“Nonkanyiso had told us that young man was her boyfriend,” said stokvel chairperson madala Sigidimi Xundu (84).

“He said they hoped Nonkanyiso would be present at their last stokvel meeting, but she never arrived.

They claimed Nonkanyiso had stopped taking their calls and instead refers them to Pinky Saliwa.

“We were told that Pinky was a private detective, but she was just Nonkanyiso’s friend.

“Police told us we can’t open a case because we gave the money voluntarily and we have no written agreement.”

Nonkanyiso told Daily Sun Mohammed told her that he was related to Patrice Motsepe.

“He said he was rich and knew hotel owners who would give him discounts. I gave him the R65 000 when we were having a picnic in Cape Town.”

She said she was not avoiding the members and she would pay them back.

“I know Mohammed loves me and he will bring back the money,” the gogo said.

She said it was wrong for the media and cops to be involved.

The stokvel was formed in 2004 by retired teachers so that they could travel annually. The SunTeam tried calling what is allegedly Mohammed’s office number, but it rang unanswered.

Grandma allows her son to rape her 12-year-old granddaughter

Kids protest against rape illustration

By: Ryan Lee Hall 

A young girl was betrayed by every member of her family.

A young girl was raped by her uncle while her grandmother was in the house and did nothing when the girl cried out for help.

The grandmother failed to stop her uncle from raping her. Then, the family went against victim's wishes and forgave the rapist. They accepted money from him as compensation for the rape, instead of calling police. The teen was sexually abused by her 34-year-old uncle, who is the girl’s mother’s brother, while she was visiting her grandmother.

The 12-year-old from Mpumalanga, South Africa, has said that her uncle raped her while his grandmother was with her, but she did nothing to help. "My uncle told me he was going to kill me if I told anyone. I do not understand why my grandmother was in the room. There is no secret," she said.

The girl told her father about the incident and she wanted her uncle, who is a married man, to be locked up forever for destroying her life. The girl’s 66-year-old father, who is a pastor, said he has forgiven the man and accepted a payment of almost $5,000."We are Christians and do not believe in punishing people who have already apologized. This man has repented for his sins," he said.

The girl's uncle does not deny anything. He met the girl’s parents on Saturday and offered to pay damages. He then handed over almost $5,000.00, which the family accepted. "I know what I did was wrong. I do not know what came over me. I left my wife at home and headed to my niece. I'm so sorry," the rapist said.

“Good Christian parents protect their child, not the rapist who harmed their child. Police should investigate as to how many other rapists the pastor has forgiven instead of giving them over to police,” John Aguiar, 50, of Gauteng, South Africa told YourJewishNews.com when asked his opinion about the father who forgave his brother-in-law who raped his daughter.

Police spokesperson Sergeant Gerald Sedibe said police cannot do anything if the family does not file a complaint. "We need families to report these issues so we can investigate," Sedibe said.

Grandmother jailed for 10 years for child rape

By Sapa | Feb 07, 2015 | COMMENTS [ 4 ]

An Mpumalanga pensioner has been sentenced to 10 years in jail by the Nelspruit Regional Court for helping her boyfriend rape her seven-year-old grandchild, and infecting her with HIV.

The 67-year-old woman, from Daantjie near Mbombela, was arrested with her boyfriend in 2008 following the repeated rape of her grandchild, a Sapa correspondent reported on Friday.

She may not be named to protect the child's identity. She pleaded not guilty to rape, conspiracy to commit rape, and attempted murder.

The court heard that the boyfriend, who was HIV-positive, had died.

Passing sentence on Thursday, Magistrate Andre Geldenhuys said although the woman was reported to have been infected with the HI-virus by her boyfriend, she denied being positive before court, saying she used muti to cure herself.

"You said you knew he was HIV-positive, and you used muti. But your health is poor and you currently are on crutches, indicating you suffer from disabilities," Geldenhuys said.

"It is clear you still have the virus."

He said the woman was convicted of helping in the rape of her grandchild, by keeping guard for her boyfriend during the rapes.

"As her grandmother, you should have protected her as she is your daughter's child. But you carried on and exposed her to such violation and humiliation. What makes things worse is that it happened not once but several times, and on different days," he said.

Geldenhuys said there was no evidence about whether the boyfriend influenced her or not, as she had denied any involvement and did not testify.

"The fact is that you have been found guilty of playing a role by assisting him. What is more aggravating is that you show no remorse, which gives this court no substantial and compelling circumstances for a lesser sentence," he said.

He denied her leave to appeal the conviction.

My wife starves me of sex and food, cheats on me – Pastor Andrew Ndubisi narrates in court

A 39-year-old pastor, Andrew Ndubisi, has told an Igando Customary Court, Lagos, to dissolve his four-year-old marriage over sex and food starvation, citing that his body is neither made of wood nor iron.

He said: “My wife (Saraphina) starves me of food and sex. She always gives excuses whenever I want to make love to her. Despite all my pleading, she will not allow me; my body is not a stone or iron rod.

“Apart from sex, she also denies me food; she is a poor cook and hardly cooks. Whenever she does, is either the food is too salty or watery.

“If I complain, she will take the food and dispose of it and she will never apologise; I used to buy food to eat or go hungry.”

The petitioner, according to the NAN, also accused his wife of infidelity.

“My wife is having an affair. Last February 1, I called my wife with a new SIM I just bought.

“Unknown to her, she never knew who was calling; she said is it because my wife was around that I refused call or visit her. It was then that I knew that my wife was having an affair.

“I refused to respond. I waited for her to do the talking; she started calling me sweet names and told me how much she loves me.

“She insisted I should say something; I later revealed myself to her and she was shocked. Before I got home, she has packed out with our three-year-old daughter.

“When she did not return for days, I reported at the police station; I also went to the radio and television stations including a newspaper, to place announcement of a missing person.”

Saraphina, a 31-year-old businesswoman, welcomed the divorce. The petitioner, however, denied all the allegations against her.

A pastor at Victory in Christ Gospel Ministry, Egbeda, Chris Onyekachi-Madu, 45, who resides at 1, Bola Kadiri Street in Egbeda area of Lagos State, has told an Igando Customary Court to dissolve his 18-year marriage to his estranged wife, Augusta Madu, for getting pregnant for an Okada man.

He said he doesn’t love her anymore because she slept with an Okada man in his house, got pregnant and then packed out to start living with him.
Narrating his ordeal before the court, Madu said his wife, with whom he had two children, started fighting him on a daily basis while also bringing strange men into their home.
He said: “They come to my house at about 11p.m. There was a day I had to interrogate a man that she brought home. She introduced her to me as her pastor.”
He said further that his wife brought an Okada man to his house, who she introduced to him as someone that would be taking their children to and from school.
Onyekachi-Madu further stated that the Okada rider, after taking his children to school in the morning and bringing them back, would then take his wife away even in his presence, adding that this happened on three consecutive occasions, after which she slept over the fourth time.
The court President, Rasack Isola-Adeyeri, adjourned the matter to January 28 for judgment.

61 Pupils In Akatsi North Pregnant In 2 Months

Sixty-One basic school girls in the Akatsi-North District of the Volta Region, got pregnant during the past two months and are now out of school.

Dr. Anthony Ashinyo, the District Director of health, disclosed this to The Ghanaian Times, at Ave-Dakpa yesterday, and said the girls were between the ages of 12 and 19.

He described the situation as very alarming, considering the fact that during the whole of last year, 120 of such cases were recorded in the district, with a population of 34,400.

The frightening figures may just be a tip of the iceberg because not all of such cases are reported at the Government Health Centre at Ave-Dakpa, the district capital,” he emphasized.

According to Dr. Ashinyo, the men who impregnated the girls were adults between the ages of 20 and 47.

He said a recent survey by the health centre also revealed that there is a high trend of girls under the age of 16 getting married, due to deep-rooted cultural beliefs in the district.

When contacted, the District Chief Executive, Mr. James Gunu, blamed the situation largely on widespread parental neglect in the district.

He also revealed that in 2013, all the female candidates of the West African Senior School Certificate Extermination (WASSCE) at Matsrikasa, also in the district were pregnant.

Mr. Gunu assured that the Assembly was collaborating with the Ghana Education Service, and PTAs to adopt the appropriate measures to reverse the trend.
