(Another) Pensioner Falls Victim to Panga-armed Robbers.
The police at Henties Bay are investigating an incident after a 79-year-old male pensioner’s home at the town was ransacked by at least five alleged armed suspects on Saturday morning, 8 August 2026.
There have been several brutal incidents involving pensioners at Henties Bay in the past. One of the most barbaric incidents was when Alexander Grobler (77) and his wife Martha Maria Grobler (69) were hospitalised with serious injuries incurred during a housebreaking and panga attack at their Henties Bay home on 8 January 2025 (photo).
WHAT THEY DID TO ANDREW AND TRISTAN TATE ON SUNDAY
Andrew and Tristan Tate remain in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) at FDC Miami. They have seen the sun only four times since July 18th.
On Sunday, guards deployed OC spray in the SHU. My clients, Andrew and Tristan Tate, had nothing to do with the incident. They were locked in their cells when it happened.
The guards had gas masks. Andrew and Tristan, however, were afforded no such luxury. Locked in a cell with nowhere to go, the chemical spray quickly filled the SHU, poured into their cells, and burned their eyes, throats, and airways.
To protect themselves, Andrew and Tristan wet their T-shirts in the shower and wrapped their eyes and heads in the shirts as best they could.
The Bureau of Prisons' own regulation demands immediate medical examination and treatment. The Department of Justice's own manual says the first aid for this chemical is fresh air and copious amounts of cool water. Andrew and Tristan received no air, no water, no doctor, and no nurse.
Two men convicted of no crime in any country on Earth wrapped wet T-shirts around their faces, sat in a chemical cloud, and waited.
You do not have to take my word for it. Two hours later, my co-counsel Tom Maniotis arrived at the facility for a legal visit. The air was still so toxic that his eyes burned and he struggled to breathe. Thomas cut the meeting short and agreed to come back in two hours to give time for the chemicals to clear out.
Thomas went to our apartment and washed his face and hands. He returned to the SHU a second time, where the meeting had to be cut short because his eyes were irritated and his throat was burning. So much so that he went straight from the jail to urgent care, where he was diagnosed with acute toxic conjunctivitis, a chemical injury to his eyes.
That diagnosis is on paper, from a hospital. Think about what I am saying. Thomas' short-term exposure sent him straight to urgent care. Andrew and Tristan have been stuck in the SHU since this incident happened without medical care or decontamination protocol of any kind.
They sit in that cell over no American charge and no broken rule. They sit there because the United Kingdom, which watched them travel freely for three years and did nothing, suddenly demanded their arrest.
Instead of the safekeeping the law requires, Andrew and Tristan are being horribly punished. Four hours of sunlight in three weeks, bunks too short for their bodies, no pillows, legal meetings in rooms monitored by cameras, and now a chemical agent in their cells with no help afterward.
The Supreme Court says a man awaiting trial may not be punished at all. England's own law says a man jailed before trial is held for safe custody and not for punishment. Every rule forbids what is happening inside that building, and it is happening anyway.
On Thursday, August 13, a federal judge in Miami will hear our motion for Andrew and Tristan's release. If you care about justice and the right of all American citizens not to be punished this way, then you must speak out.
Let the whole world see your anger by sharing this post.
Punishment before judgment is tyranny.
Free Andrew and Tristan Tate. Free Them Now.
🇿🇦Seven South African High School Students Have Made History By Winning NASA’s International Space Settlement Design Competition at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida‼️
Team ZA became the first African team ever to reach the finals in the competition's history, competing against teams from 17 countries incl the UK, Australia, Brazil, China, and the United States.
This year's competition required teams to design a spacecraft capable of transporting 3,000 people across the inner Solar System by the year 2086.
Their design featured rotating artificial gravity, nuclear thermal and ion propulsion, and a magnetic shield against solar radiation.
Team member Joseph Allderman also received the Anita Gale Creative Genius Prize, one of only four awarded across the entire competition. This is a massive win for African excellence in STEM.
South Africa signed a military cooperation deal with Iran in 2016 already. However, our GNU government offers very little transparency on what exactly this deal entails.
Now, we are finding out that Iranian Drone Pilots are trained at the Overberg Airforce base?
With Iran now in active conflict with the USA, the consequences of our military relationship with them could have devastating consequences for ordinary South Africans.
Time to demand full transparency from our Government.

🇪🇸 Sevilla, España | 🔴 Así evitan los vecinos del Polígono Sur (Sevilla) la construcción de una mezquita y centro islámico: Lanzando huesos de jamón al terreno donde se pretende construir.
Según el islam, no se pueden construir mezquitas sobre terreno que se considere contaminado, siendo el cerdo un animal impuro y que, para ellos, contamina el suelo.
🚨You can feel the entire room tense the second Laurence Fox says he’s about to show a drawing of Mohammed.
The Oxford Union goes dead quiet.
People start interrupting. Someone’s already reaching for the rules.
You can hear the intake of breath. They’re not just uncomfortable… they’re scared.
@danroodt Aapartheid is and always will be an excuse to plunder the coffers of a hard working intelligent regime without remorse. Communist countries like China who pushed the Apartheid agenda so hard now have free access to minerals and all the riches of this once beautiful country. …
Some people were asking me yesterday, how did I find out that Andy Burnham has been TRAINED by arch globalist, BLOOMBERG?
It was from the Liz Truss video which I watched for the second time, the night before last.
I suggest we ALL watch THIS AGAIN!
Liz talks in depth to excellent journalist @CharlotteCGill who exposes the networks, & it was here that Bloomberg & his training camps were mentioned.
Within a few clicks I confirmed this HERE: https://t.co/c2ca5TIxo0
& once I find out stuff like this, I will EXPOSE, EXPOSE EXPOSE!
So let us ALL watch this superb video again, as I think it is the most important one Liz has done to date.
