The president will stand with Israel..."

@ori0n7 Except South Africa isn't young and white, so it doesn't REFLECT anything real.
The original is actually a REFLECTION of the country's aspiration, as is.

“STAGED ROBBERY”: PARTNER AND TENANTS ACCUSED OF GQEBERHA BUSINESSMAN’S MURDER
Three accused in the murder of businessman Daniel de Jager (65) briefly appeared in the Gqeberha High Court on 12 May. The matter was postponed to 22 May for further consultations.
Initial reports stated that four intruders invaded the Mangold Street home while the couple slept, restrained Estelle le Grange and fled with property and De Jager’s Nissan Juke. However, the State now alleges the robbery scene was staged.
The accused: Estelle le Grange (57) and tenants Anke Cilliers (36) and Leeroy Scholtz (36), who lived on the same property, face charges of conspiracy to commit murder, premeditated murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.
It is the State’s case that the three unlawfully and intentionally conspired to kill De Jager, allegedly suffocating him and striking him repeatedly with a hammer or similar instrument.
The State further alleges they stole bank cards, jewellery and R4,450 in cash to make the murder appear to be a house robbery gone wrong.
@HistorySAZAR That pathetic creature, @elonmusk thinks a billionaire oligarch having to adhere to telecommunication rules = Apartheid 2.0.
Shame on you, Elon Musk.

The Last Grave at Dimbaza (1973) is a seminal documentary that provided one of the first unflinching looks at the harsh realities of apartheid in South Africa for international audiences. Shot clandestinely with hidden cameras by South African exiles and British filmmakers, the footage was smuggled out of the country to bypass strict censorship laws. The producers included Nana Mahomo, Antonia Caccia, Andrew Tsehiana. Source: IMDb, Youtube
