Politician pushes to drop m8rder charge against mother who beat man to d3ath after she caught him attempting to r3pe her disabled daughter

A South African politician, Bukiwe Fanta, has called for the immediate scrapping of criminal charges against a mother who was arrested after allegedly k!lling a man who was attempting to r3pe her disabled daughter. The Eastern Cape woman was arrested after reportedly beating the 65-year-old man to d3ath when she allegedly found him on top of her daughter. She is set to appear in court this week. In a statement, Fanta, who is currently the Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Social Development in the Eastern Cape, said that the womans action should be viewed in the context of a mother trying to protect her child from assault. This incident has sparked widespread outrage and raised critical questions about the legal and moral responsibilities of parents in protecting their children from harm. The case has drawn significant public attention, highlighting the ongoing epidemic of gender-based violence in South Africa. The mother, whose identity has not been disclosed to protect the privacy of her family, reportedly intervened during a horrific assault on her daughter, taking drastic action in a moment of desperation. MEC Fanta emphasized that the mothers actions should be viewed within the context of a desperate attempt to protect her child from a violent predator. “Any parent faced with such a traumatic situation would likely act in a similar manner,” Fanta stated. “This case is not just about the actions of one individual; it reflects the broader societal issues of violence against women and children that we must confront as a nation.” The MEC’s call to drop the charges comes amid growing recognition of the need for a more compassionate and understanding legal framework regarding cases of self-defense and protection of vulnerable individuals. Many advocates for women’s rights argue that the legal system must take into account the psychological and emotional trauma faced by victims of sexual violence and their families. In South Africa, the statistics surrounding gender-based violence are alarming. According to recent reports, a woman is killed by an intimate partner every three hours, and thousands of children are victims of sexual violence each year. These figures illustrate the urgency of addressing the root causes of violence and providing support to those who experience it. MEC Fanta highlighted the importance of implementing measures that not only protect victims but also provide them with the necessary support systems to heal and rebuild their lives. “We must ensure that our legal system is designed to protect the vulnerable rather than punish those who act in defense of their loved ones,” she argued. The case has garnered significant media attention and public support, with many South Africans rallying behind the mother, viewing her actions as a reflection of a desperate fight against a deeply entrenched culture of violence. Social media platforms have become a space for individuals to express their solidarity and share their own experiences of violence and trauma. In response to the public outcry, MEC Fanta has called for a thorough review of the legal proceedings against the mother, urging the authorities to consider the broader implications of the case on societal attitudes towards gender-based violence. “We must prioritize the safety and well-being of our children and ensure that our justice system reflects the values of compassion and understanding,” she stated. As the legal battle unfolds, the case serves as a poignant reminder of the need for systemic change in addressing gender-based violence in South Africa. The call for the scrapping of charges against the mother not only seeks justice for her but also highlights the urgent need for a societal shift in how we respond to instances of violence against women and children.

Controversial singer and internet personality, Speed Darlington, caused a scene at a club recently when he threatened to leave because the DJ played a Burna Boy song. In a viral clip, Speed Darlington could be heard warning the DJ in Pidgin, I go go, making it clear he would exit if the song continued.

VIDEO: TikToker dies on live video after suffering seizure

A Nigerian TikToker identified simply as ‘Disturbing’ has died during a live video stream on the social media platform.
The TikToker who has been involved in the ‘JUSTICE FOR MOHBAD’ movement died at his residence in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State on Thursday.
The final moments of the content creator were captured in a video that has now gone viral.
He appeared to suffer what looked like a seizure before passing away in front of the camera during the live stream.
According to netizens who may have been part of the live stream, Disturbing had been cursing individuals linked to the late singer Mohbad’s case, including Mohbad’s mother, widow, his brother Adura, and Liam, during his unfortunate live broadcast.
The content creator’s wife, who was also a popular cobbler and musician within their community, has now provided more details about the unfortunate incident.
Identified simply as Omowunmi, the wife in a TikTok post disclosed that the deceased had hit his head on a stone after he collapsed.
Omowunmi explained that she was in the kitchen cooking his food when neighbours who had spotted him unresponsive on the floor ran to her.
According to her, he was rushed to the hospital, where he was placed on oxygen. Despite all efforts, he passed away on Friday morning.
She narrated, “Yesterday morning, my husband was on TikTok live video while I cooked his food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he had a seizure, fell down, and hit his head on a stone that was in front of him. Blood was coming out of his head.
“A young boy and some neighbours who were passing then saw him. They thought he had fainted, so they started pouring water on him. The young boy ran inside and called me from the kitchen.
“When I got there, I told them to stop pouring water and that it was a seizure. We quickly rushed him to the hospital, where they placed him on oxygen. He passed away this morning.”
Omowunmi pointed out that it was not the first time her late husband had suffered seizures. She revealed that he had an episode as recently as February.
The wife also dismissed insinuations of a spiritual attack as she insisted her husband’s death was ‘a pure medical issue’.
“The last time he had it was in February. I have never left him by himself because of this seizure. If I were cooking in the kitchen, I would have grabbed him when the seizure happened. To everyone saying it was a spiritual attack. It is a pure medical issue,” she clarified.

Trump, Biden, Macron and world leaders arrive in Rome for Pope Francis’ funeral (Photos)

World leaders, dignitaries, and thousands of mourners have started arriving at the St Peter’s Square to bid farewell to Pope Francis. US President Donald Trump, his predecessor Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and the Prince of Wales are among attendees at the requiem mass in St Peter’s Square, which begins at 9am UK. Others include French President Emmanuel Macron, former US President Joe Biden , and Irish President Michael D Higgins. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky, arrived on Saturday morning and will attend with his wife Olena Zelenska, following uncertainty over where he could attend after his travel plans were disrupted by air strikes in Kyiv.
About 500,000 people are expected to gather for the open-air service. Pope Francis, who died aged 88 on Monday, just hours after greeting crowds to mark Easter, had been lying in state in St Peter’s Basilica for three days, with some 250,000 mourners passing him day and night, before his coffin was formally sealed in private on Friday.
Nuns who gathered in St Peter’s Square ahead of the service told the Associated Press news agency that the late pontiff had been a ‘saintly man… a man of peace, who wanted peace for the whole world’.
Sister Nilma Navarro from the Philippines said that Francis was ‘the most humble person I have ever met,’ adding that he shepherded people ‘not only in the Catholic Church. He also embraced other religions.’
Miguel Vaca, a pilgrim from Peru, lined up from 7am to enter the square. ‘He was a very charismatic pope, very human, very kind,’ he said. The post Trump, Biden, Macron and world leaders arrive in Rome for Pope Francis’ funeral (Photos) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
