  • Two apartment blocks in the Johannesburg suburb of Bellevue are going to auction with a minimum bid of R500,000 each. Picking them up at this price will be a bargain, but both buildings are fully occupied by non-paying tenants.

Alec Baldwin 'heartbroken' over fatal film set shooting
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59015889
23 Oct. 2021

"Actor Alec Baldwin has expressed his shock and sadness after fatally shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a prop gun on a New Mexico film set.

He tweeted that he was in touch with her husband and had offered support.

"My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna," he wrote.

Ms Hutchins, 42, was shot on the set of the western Rust while working as director of photography.

"There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours," he tweeted.

"I'm fully co-operating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred."

Ms Hutchins was flown to hospital by helicopter after the shooting on Thursday afternoon but died of her injuries.

Director Joel Souza, 48, was injured and taken from the scene at Bonanza Creek Ranch by ambulance.

An actress in the film, Frances Fisher, tweeted on Friday that Mr Souza had told her that he had been released from the hospital, which was also reported by US media. The hospital declined to comment on Mr Souza's condition, citing privacy laws.

A spokesman for Mr Baldwin, best known for his role as Jack Donaghy on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock and for his portrayal of Donald Trump on sketch show Saturday Night Live, said the incident involved the misfiring of a prop gun with blanks.

Police are trying to establish what type of projectile left the prop gun and how. Local media reported that Mr Baldwin was seen outside the Santa Fe County sheriff's office in tears.

A spokeswoman for the local district attorney's office told BBC News that the investigation is still its "preliminary" stage.

"At this time, we do not know if charges will be filed," said First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies.

The actor is a co-producer of Rust and plays its namesake, an outlaw whose 13-year-old grandson is convicted of manslaughter.
The eldest of four brothers, all actors, Mr Baldwin has starred in numerous TV and film roles since the 1980s.

Ms Hutchins was from Ukraine and grew up on a Soviet military base in the Arctic Circle, according to her personal website. She studied journalism in Kyiv, and film in Los Angeles, and was named a "rising star" by the American Cinematographer magazine in 2019...

Such incidents on film sets are extremely rare, but not unheard of.

Real firearms are often used in filming, and are loaded with blanks - cartridges that create a flash and a bang without discharging a projectile.

In 1993, Brandon Lee - the 28-year-old son of the late martial-arts star Bruce Lee - died on set after being accidentally shot with a prop gun while filming a death scene for the film The Crow. The gun mistakenly had a dummy round loaded in it..."
 
The City of Johannesburg says it rejects Eskom’s latest scheduled load shedding and has threatened legal action against the power utility.

The city pointed out in a statement on Saturday evening (23 October), that it recently secured an additional power supply capacity of 220 MW from privately owned Kelvin Power station that qualifies it for an exemption from stage 1 and 2 of load shedding,

Eskom resumed stage 2 load shedding, which is set to continue through to Monday at 05h00.

If you hear about food shortages in the UK what it actually means is someone might have to buy one of a dozen alternative brands rather than their preferred brand on just a few items!
 

Actually, it makes sense. Newborn trafficking is rife in South Africa and across the world. My sister-in-law investigates human trafficking cases and you will be horrified when you see the things I've been shown. That article makes sense and is probably true. I do not wish this on any new parents. It must be horrible to be told your baby died at birth and then later (or never) find out your baby has been sold on the black market for adoption/muti/organs. Just horrible.

Considering how carefully this was fact checked when the original claim was made and the there was NO evidence of the birth of decuplets, there would need to be something a bit more reliable than a statement by Iqbal Surve to make me change my mind in this instance.

I flat out don't believe a word of it.
 
Farmers fight ANC government takeover of private power network
'' The private power company purchases the electricity in bulk from Eskom and resells it for a small additional fee.

Damplaas Kragbron’s tariffs are currently 13% lower than Eskom charges direct customers and about 20% cheaper than the Nketoana municipality.

That is possible thanks to its own distribution network of 320km of power lines and 175 transformers, which was established through contributions from farmers.''
