🚨JUST IN: Canada just criminalized the Bible. Bill C-9 has passed the Senate, removing key religious protections and opening the door for Scripture to be treated as “hate speech.”
Quoting the Bible on marriage, sin, or God’s design for sexuality can now lead to prosecution for “willful promotion of hatred.”
This is a direct attack on Christianity and religious freedom in Canada.
Brothers and sisters — the time to stand is now.
Pray for Canada. Speak the truth boldly. Defend the Gospel while we still can.
Forensic investigator Dorothy Mmushi says some car dealerships scheme with ‘tenderpreneurs’ to buy vehicles for government officials, but the cars are never registered to those officials. She says this is done to launder money, while the cars go to a third party.

A deeply disappointing interview, replete with misinformation.
First, the claim that two Nigerians have been killed during the current wave of attacks remains entirely unsubstantiated by available information.
No Nigerian National
has been killed during the current waves of attacks in South Africa.
Second, it is untrue that five Mozambicans were killed. While there is an active South African Police Service investigation into the deaths of two Mozambican nationals, deaths we deeply regret, we trust that this matter will be thoroughly investigated, resulting in clear accountability and justice.
We once again convey our sincere condolences to the government and people of Mozambique.
We have cooperated fully with your High Commission to facilitate the necessary repatriation process.
It is therefore deeply strange that we are hearing for the first time, through this interview, that 15 Ghanaians are currently hospitalised. We have no information of that nature whatsoever. In fact, to date, the High Commissioner has not shared any information with us, not even regarding the single individual he previously discussed in media interviews.
Regarding what you have referred to as a “nuclear default” against South African companies: this will not be triggered by the recent attacks. The truth is, mere months into the new Ghanaian administration, the operating conditions for a number of South African companies had already been made untenable. I was compelled to write to you, my dear brother, alerting you to these challenges.
Be advised: I am prepared to publish that letter if its existence is denied.
Third, we reiterate the findings of our Department of Home Affairs and the Border Management Authority concerning the 27 May flight of 300 individuals. Of these, 25 came from the our deportation facility, transported by the Immigration Inspectorate of the Department of Home Affairs.
The remaining 275 were brought by the Ghanaian High Commissioner. Following an intensive check-in process, the travellers proceeded to BMA Immigration, where approximately 90% were found to be undocumented.
Consequently, the Ghanaian Embassy was required to issue them Emergency Travel Certificates, single-page, one-way documents permitting a traveller to return only to their country of origin. Furthermore, most of these travellers were found to have overstayed their visas by more than 30 days, with some overstaying by a year or more.
Let there be no misunderstanding: we will vigorously defend any frivolous or baseless lawsuit emanating from Ghana against South Africa.
Our initial hope was simply to assist the Government of Ghana in repatriating its citizens in a humane and cordial manner. However, we will not continue to tolerate this public spectacles, characterised by incomplete information and outright misinformation devoid of any diplomatic decorum.
Make no mistake: the South African government remains committed to regional integration.
We are, and will remain, open to discussing the push and pull factors relating to migration at a bilateral level, the African Union or any multilateral forum but Let us be factual in our engagements and not pander to unnecessary public spacteclaces that are devoid of any diplomatic decorum.
Having been on both ends of violence and hostility directed at migrants, Ghana has invaluable lessons to impart. We are ready to learn from your wealth of experience in this regard, including how Ghana has managed social tension while protecting, exclusively for Ghanaians, the very sectors in which Ghanaians in South Africa thrive.
As we have stated on numerous occassions, violence directed at migrants is an affront to our constitutional order. Our democracy is founded on the principle that none shall suffer discrimination on the basis of race, nationality, religion, gender or sexuality. As we navigate this complex and fluid situation, we are determined to uphold this promise.
Tshwane Raid Uncovers Alleged Chinese-Run Brothel in Pretoria CBD

BREAKING NEWS: The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has intercepted consignments suspected to contain illicit drugs during a targeted Customs and Excise operation at the Port of Durban in the early hours of this morning.
The consignments were identified during the inspection of heavy-duty excavation equipment imported from a South American country.

"I wish her heart lives on in you."
Those were Dalene Ncala's words to her eldest daughter, Liat.
After all, it was a heart that first beat inside her over 27 years ago.
One she nurtured and shaped as a single mother in northern KZN.
That heart belonged to Nomzila Madinane.
Overflowing with passion, love and determination.
First, an overachiever at school.
Later, a beautiful, talented young woman.
But, that heartbeat - the soundtrack to her glorious life - was viciously stopped by a rifle.
A graduate.
A pharmacist.
A businesswoman.
An employer.
A daughter.
A sister.
A person dedicated to improving lives, robbed of hers.
Surrounded by everything to prolong lives, but powerless against the unstoppable hail of bullets.
On Tuesday, Nomzila was stocking the shelves of her soon-to-be-opened outlet - KwaNyuswa Pharmacy.
Three gunmen stormed the place.
A cashier was shot dead.
A security guard wounded.
Later, he, too, passed away.
But the main target must have been Nomzila.
Nothing was taken from the store.
As Nomzila's heart beat for the last time, her murderers casually walked off to a VW Polo and left.
In broad daylight.
The crime has all the hallmarks of a targeted assassination.
And for someone already worried about safety, it is the most tragic way to be proven right.
Hard work and a successful career meant Nomzila had the means to do - and have - just about anything she wanted.
Designer clothes.
Premium restaurants.
Fast cars.
She would have taken delivery of a brand new BMW M2 in a few days.
Her Instagram account shows a young woman enjoying a life she earned.
But, was she truly enjoying it?
Could anyone enjoy a life without real freedom?
In December, gunmen targeted her first store in Berea.
Later, a friend of her ex-boyfriend's brother was arrested.
The same ex - a doctor - who allegedly told her family he could kill her.
The one who, according to them, intentionally crashed a car with Nomzila inside.
The one she wrote about in a message to her landlord as she fearfully tried to cancel a lease.
The one who refused to let her go.
The one she desperately tried to get a protection order against this year.
And the reason she paid for security escorts on social outings.
Alungile - her other sister - will never forget her sibling's chilling words.
"If anything ever happens to me, just know it's him."
A few months before her death, her sisters met with the doctor through a senior colleague.
They chose a dignified approach to remind him of Nomzila's wishes.
But he apparently seemed unrepentant.
They haven’t heard from him since.
The killing is being probed by the successful provincial SAPS Murder and Robbery Unit.
Within hours, several leads were already on their radar.
But the Madinane family is demanding quick justice.
A mastermind, the killers - anyone who helped - to be thrown behind bars.
They know it won't bring her back.
But maybe, just maybe, it will start to mend their hearts enough to protect Nomzila's memory for eternity.
