Rejected lover takes revenge!
Urine and mealie-meal in his bed!
“Never put two cows and a bull in the same kraal at night! That’s what taxi driver Takalani Nekhavhambe(28) learned the hard way. He was with his girlfriend at his parent’s house in Diepsloot, north of Joburg, on Monday. To his surprise, his ex-girlfriend arrived.
Early the next morning Takalani went to work and his girlfriend also left. The former girlfriend was still asleep.
BUT Takalani got the shock of his life when he returned home that night!
In a jealous rage, his old girlfriend had emptied a 25-Litre bucket of urine and dirty water on his bed. Then she poured mielie-meal all over it. She also cut his mattress with a knife and burnt some of his balnkets and clothes. And she drove a knife through one of his T-Shirts as if to stab his heart!”

Here the DS needs to do a follow-up! Did he and his girl friend try and clean the mattress and then still sleep in it or did they get another mattress.. 25 l of urine and such other stuff seeping into your mattress! I think theirs another potential story there i.e. what happened afterwards?

“BEAT ME-DON’T CALL COPS – I’M NOT A BIG THUG.”
“ A man who stole from a spaza shop begs people to beat him instead of calling the police.’
“ He and a friend robbed a shop of R800 in cash and R100 worth of airtime vouchers and ran away. BUT then he remembered that he had not taken his favourite cold drink, so he turned back to steal a bottle of Sprite!”
“The thug was caught with his cold drink, the cash and airtime vouchers. He begged the residents to beat him up rather than calling the cops. He said he did not have money for bail.
“PLEASE DON’T beat me up too HARSHLY because I am not a BIG thug,” he said.”
“Residents Samria Ntibane(50) said the people fetched sjamboks from their homes.”
“ We do not take orders from thugs, so we beat him and then called the police,’ said Samaria

Now will Samaria be charged with assault?

A very good evening to you Ian,
I doubt very much that Samria even thought that far! This one makes for a very compelling legal argument, the thug consents to be beaten and in fact offers that as a possible solution to their dilemma. He suggested it, though his request was not for them to beat him very harshly on the basis that he was not a big thug. They did enter into a contract of some sort. Yes, the conclusion, object and performance of the contract was unlawful and Samria and friends breached the contract in that they heeded his request and beat him up but they also called the police which was not what he consented to!!!
Look mob justice is unlawful, and I don’t condone it, but I do understand the frustration of the people! I suppose there is a valid case of assault but the court should also consider that the thug suggested the beating in a customary tradition of resolving their dispute!

Vanash,
This might be traditional but then the law should be changed to reflect this reality. Great argument you should become a lawyer

You know Ian, with this thread I'm attempting to highlight interesting and funny newspaper articles Some of the conduct of the protaganists in these articles are no doubt unlawful but nonetheless funny. Bear in mind, you'll only find this calibre of story right here in South Africa and absolutely nowhere else on this planet!!! I'm trying in earnest to become an attotney, but I tell you that the revised LLB is indeed formidable for me! Studying law at my age and dealing with everything else in life has proved thus far to be challenging, I'm still in the game though...
