“What’s happening to Bra Kop & Vusi Thanda? I think Vusi Thanda should open an attempted murder case!” he joked.

Setlhabi Taunyane, who is best known for playing the character of Bra Kop on Rhythm City, and legendary actor Vusi Thanda were stretched out by two ladies who seemed to have left no stone unturned when dealing with the actors.

In the circulated photos, the Emzini Wezinsizwa star and Taunyane could be seen dressed in nothing but their boxer briefs as the ladies worked their magic on their bones and muscles. After seeing the actors in unique massage positions in the photos, social media users rushed to the comment section and showed their wicked sense of humour by roasting the duo profusely.

Afrikaans singer Angie Oeh—real name Angelique Greeff passed away just days after she revealed that she was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. She had pleaded with her fans to help her raise R200 000 towards her surgery and treatment and they did. However, following her death, fans and supporters were invited to help raise more profits towards her medical debt.

According to her social media managers, Angie Oeh had an emergency operation on Tuesday 15 August. The singer’s fans and supporters managed to raise R278 478 towards her cancer treatment and surgery in less than a week, The Citizen reported. A new goal set by the Back A Buddy campaign was to raise R300 000 for the singer in which it fell short by just R21 500.

Since Oeh’s death, a fundraising party will be held on 30 August at Railways Café in Pretoria to raise profits towards the late singer’s medical debt.

“All profits from the show will go to cover Angie’s medical costs. Unfortunately, she had no medical cover and was cared for in private practice until the end,” her social media managers explained.

The absence of a trail where Senzo Meyiwa was ki led was explored by the defence during the questioning of a State witness.

The pathologist who examined the football star’s body gave testimony on Tuesday.

Dr Johannes Steenekamp told the court how the gun used to kill Meyiwa was pressed against his chest.

He also said it took seconds or minutes for him to die.
 

 

Five men are being tried for kig the Bafana Bafana captain in October 2014 while he was at the home of his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo.While questioning Steenekamp, the lawyer for the fourth accused, Advocate Zithulele Nxumalo, looked to establish if a blood trail would have been left as Meyiwa was carried from the house to the hospital.

But Steenekamp told the court that while dripping might have happened, Meyiwa’s external bleeding would not have been extensive, as he was bleeding mostly internally.

Nxumalo informed Steenekamp that he was asking his question in light of a theory by the defence that the scene was tampered with, and Meyiwa’s blood could have been wiped from the floor.Judge Ratha Mokgoatleng seemed rather dismissive of Nxumalo’s inference.

“You have actually testified that there was no squirting or sprouting of the blood [and] most of th was contained within the chest cavity.”

A ballistic expert will take the stand on Wednesday morning.
