<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sometime in 2014, a young beautiful girl, Ms Precious, completed her university education and the National Youth Service Corps programme in Edo State. Precious, as she identified herself while nude in a video, decided to seek better opportunity outside Nigeria. She chose a booming beautiful Arab city, Dubai, as her port of future success. Precious convinced her parents to finance her desire to travel. Her mother had no option than to support her by processing the needed travel documents to her dreamland.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On August 28, 2014, the naïve, young and pretty lady was ordered to stand naked in front of a camera by one of the most notorious Nigerian sex slave and human traffickers in Dubai, Esther Nicole Otubo (pictured). The video recordings of this innocent girl were to blackmail her and other girls under her "PROSTITUTION BUSINESS EMPIRE" in case they refused to pay their daily dividends to her. Precious hopelessly agreed to Otubo's terms of engagement, as captured in the video transcript:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> What's your name?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious: </b>Precious.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> Precious, which part of Nigeria are you from?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> Edo State</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> Okay. Where are you right now?</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> Dubai.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> Dubai? What did you come to do here?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> Prostitution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> Prostitution. Were you forced to come here?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> No.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> You agreed on your own to come here. Did you go for swearing (sic)?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> Yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> Who and you (sic) went for the swearing?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> Me and my parents</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> Okay …so you just arrived in Dubai, yeah?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> Yes</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> What's today's date?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious: </b>August 28, 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> So this is to show that this is what you came to do here and you are going to abide by the rules in this house. Do you agree?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> Yes ma.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> And when you are done paying your money, everything here would be deleted, but if you go against the laws in this house, this would be published and sent to your family. Do you agree?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> Yes ma.</div>

This week, the video exploded on social media and exposed the sex slavery and prostitution of Nigerian women by their fellow citizens in Dubai. The Dubai Madams have, within the past five years, slowly grown into a profitable money-making adventure for these human traffickers. The business, according to sources in Dubai, is mega profitable, netting an average of $30,000 (about ₦6m) monthly for the Madams that camp these girls in sex units or three-star hotels in the United Arab Emirates, the centre of glitz and glamour where commercial sex by these Nigerian women seems to be in high demand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dubai has all the aura of a sin city. It's beautiful, sitting 52 feet above the sea level, the economic and powerhouse gate pass to Asia and the Middle East. It is a liberal rich city that accommodates and tolerates all creatures, great and small. Though its socio economy is controlled by rich merchant Arabs and middle easterners, Nigerian women have found a spot to syndicate their hospitality and human services in commercial sex, pimping vulnerable young girls they lure from their various Nigerian towns and villages to the Emirates' mega city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEiY77aAZvlPfN0qDTQzToM5GHE8ccFmqYtBoTSdTsMHWyfghGg4FilXIJ5XKTD3HQpoUyvMBIbPJUEJSNo_Bw9ucGJYhkfFer9xbDQcgemxUnNcYfduDE4JyNC2UL9gH6w0fwJD92qP6gxT4gX6hpIQwJ_qRLcKWrQ=" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://punch.cdn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Ebony.jpg" style="cursor: move;" /></a>Emeka Ugwuonye, an attorney, is representing Precious. Ugwuonye, through his advocacy group, <i>Due Process Advocates</i>, is in the lead to hunt and prosecute these Nigerian 'Dubai Madams' who are involved in the sex slavery and human trafficking of young naïve Nigerian women desperately but innocently seeking to better their lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ugwuonye and his advocacy group have, through their investigations, successfully identified some of these 'Madams' and their illicit and illegal business of importing Nigerian young girls to Dubai, with a promise of making lucrative money in the city, but only to get there and be subjected to commercial sex slavery and garnish their wages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He told me:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Jebose, I have videos of two different girls recorded under the most debasing conditions, naked and scared. What Nicole does is to videotape these girls in the nude and blackmail them into prostitution in Dubai. This woman is like none that you have come across before. She is a 'Madam' and a human trafficker. She takes desperate young Nigerian girls on a sex slave mission to Dubai or other Middle Eastern countries for prostitution. Before they leave Nigeria, she would first make the girls and their parents swear an oath at a local shrine in the belief that such would place a curse of sudden death on those girls were they to disobey her. The total amount she plans to get from each girl is about $30,000.</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The girl is to become a prostitute, make money from her 'clients' and keep giving such money to the woman until she agrees she has received $30,000 from the girl. This Madam uses blackmail as an additional means of enforcing her plan. She would take a video recording of each girl, who would have been made to stand stark naked. She would tell each girl that if she failed to pay her $30,000 when she gets to Dubai or elsewhere, she would release the video tape on Facebook and would delete it when she eventually gets paid. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
These girls apparently agree to this. I use the word 'apparently' on purpose to raise questions about the voluntariness of these girls' participation in this. Ostensibly, some of these girls have not paid the Madam all the money she demanded of them. That must have been what led Madam to release that video on Facebook. I have seen videos of three girls in such humiliation. People forwarded them to me in order for me to use DPA to help track down the woman that is behind all this. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There are many, many Nigerian girls suffering under her control. These girls lack the ability to cry out. They are in slavery and bondage. We must set them free and we must have the 'Madam' arrested.</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ugwuonye also identified a second 'Madam' in this Dubai commercial sex deal gone bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He added:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Madam Ann, which is the only name we have of her, has five girls under her control. Madam Ann lodges her girls in a three-star hotel while she would stay at home and offer them men in exchange for cash. After each girl must have slept with four or five men, Madam Ann would come and collect the money they would have made from them. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The hotels cannot be busted by the Dubai Police. These Madams change hotels like every two days to remain undetected. Any girl that stays in the hotel for more than four days would be expected to leave because of the slow sex seekers traffic. The hotel's members of staff may not know what is going on. So if there are steady traffic of clients in the hotel and to a particular room, after two days, the hotel would notice and ask the girls to leave. The only things they take to the hotels are sexy lingerie to entice customers.</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier in the week, the police had reportedly apprehended the 'Madams' who had been on the run since the video went viral on social media.<br />

<b>ASUNCION, PARAGUAY - An 11-year-old Paraguayan girl who was raped by her 42 year old step father identified as Gilberto Benitez Zárate, gave birth to a baby girl at a Paraguayan hospital on August 13th.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gilberto who is married to the girl's mother, ran after what he did to the young girl was made pubic. He was later arrested and on interrogation, denied raping the girl and demanded a DNA test.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
News of her rape gained international attention after she was discovered in May to be pregnant at age 10 and was refused to be granted an abortion by the Paraguyan government.;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Paraguay has one of the strongest laws against abortion in the world. Amnesty International and some other rights organizations had called for the termination of the pregnancy of the little girl because of the psychological trauma she will undergo but the Paraguayan government maintained their stand, saying the 11 year old girl will be given the much needed attention for her to give birth normally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She gave birth by C-section to a girl that weighed 3.5 kilos (eight pounds). They say she and her daughter are doing very well medically.</div>

<b>HAVANA, CUBA - The US has reopened its embassy in Cuba more than 54 years after it was closed, in a symbolic step signalling the warming of ties between both countries.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
John Kerry, the first US Secretary of State to visit Cuba in 70 years, presided over the ceremony in Havana.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The US flag was presented by the same US marines who brought it down in 1961.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cuba reopened its embassy in Washington last month but the former Cuban leader Fidel Castro has blasted the US for not lifting its trade embargo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In an open letter on Thursday, Mr Castro said the US owed Cuba millions of dollars because of its 53-year-long embargo. The letter makes no mention of the reopening of the US embassy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr Kerry described the hoisting of the flag as a "historic moment" speaking during the ceremony on Friday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But he also warned that the US would not stop pressing for political change in Cuba.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The people of Cuba would be best served by a genuine democracy, where people are free to choose their leaders," he told a crowd of hundreds gathered outside the embassy building.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - A huge hole has appeared in one of Manchester city centre's busiest roads after heavy rainfall.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hole, on the eastbound carriageway of the Mancunian Way, is 40ft (12m) deep and at least 15ft (4.5m) wide.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both carriageways have been fenced off between the Macdonald Hotel, near Piccadilly Station, and Fairfield Street.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is believed a large water pipe beneath the road eroded, causing the road surface to cave in.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About two weeks' worth of rain fell in about six hours in the city on Friday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Geology specialist Dr Nigel Cassidy, of Keele University, said: "There is soft sediment in there [under the road] and when it gets wet, as we had with this rainfall, the sediment gets weaker.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It can wash away sand and you end up with a small cavity opening up, particularly if there is a broken sewer," he added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Manchester City Council said the road could remain closed over the weekend "depending on the extent of the issue".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The closure is likely to add to greater congestion on Sunday when Manchester City play Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium. The Mancunian Way is one of the main routes to the ground from the west, the <b><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-33929490?ocid=socialflow_facebook">BBC</a></b> reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Witnesses said the hole had increased in size and part of the pavement has now eroded.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Council and United Utilities officers are currently assessing the scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Any extended road closure is likely to cause extra congestion the city. There are extensive roadworks near its main coach station as well as a closure on Oxford Road near the university.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The road may remain closed for several days, a council spokesman said. Traffic is being diverted.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>BULAWAYO, ZIMBABWE - A Form Three pupil at St Bernard's High School in Bulawayo has been arrested for allegedly fatally stabbing his aunt after she confiscated his cellphone.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pupil aged 17 from Pumula South suburb, allegedly killed his 46-year-old aunt with a kitchen knife on Wednesday evening over the cellphone which was said to contain pornographic material.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The teenager lived with his aunt because his mother is in South Africa where she works.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He is alleged to have stabbed the aunt once in her left cheek and under her left eye.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Relatives said the pupil was unruly as he absconded from school, kept pornographic material in his cellphone and sometimes spent days away from home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bulawayo police spokesperson inspector Precious Simango said the pupil was in police custody.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We've arrested a 17-year-old boy in connection with the murder and he will soon appear in court facing murder charges," said Insp Simango.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She encouraged parents to seek professional help whenever they see their children misbehaving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We're appealing to parents and guardians to seek services of churches, social services, neighbourhood committee members and even the police whenever they see their children showing wayward behaviour," she said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A spokesperson for the murdered woman's family, Cephas Ncube, said the juvenile was very unruly. He said after killing his aunt, he tried to cover up his tracks by ransacking the house to give an impression that someone else had attacked her, before calling for help from neighbours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He called neighbours telling them that his aunt had been stabbed. He ransacked the house in the hope of making neighbours believe his story. However, he also had a cut on his hand that sold him out," he said.</div>

<b>BANGUI, CAR - A Rwandan UN peacekeeper in the Central African Republic has shot dead five of his colleagues and wounded eight others at their base before being gunned down himself, military sources have said.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The UN said it was opening an investigation into the killings which it called the worst such incident to hit the peacekeeping mission in the country since it was deployed in September 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A Rwandan soldier picked up his gun and killed his colleagues before being felled. There were five dead and eight injured," said a source close to the MINUSCA mission on Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The shooting happened at the Rwandan contingent's base in the capital Bangui and the reasons for the violence remain unknown, said a CAR military officer on condition of anonymity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>JHARKHAND, INDIA - Villagers in a rural part of eastern India have killed five women whom they accused of practising witchcraft, police have said.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Police in eastern Jharkhand state said on Saturday that a group of assailants dragged the women out of their huts and beat them to death at around midnight on Friday in their village, some 30km from state capital, Ranchi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A group (of villagers) dragged the women out and beat them to death with sticks, accusing them of practising witchcraft," Ranchi deputy police chief Arun Kumar Singh told AFP news agency by phone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At least 21 villagers have been arrested over the killings of the women, who were mostly aged between 45 and 50.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Aishwarya Devi named four other women. Some of the villagers beat those five women to death. So far, we have arrested 21 people in the case," said Singh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In yet another barbaric incident related to superstition in the tribal state, the villages alleged that those five women had killed a boy through their black magic, <b><a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/08/women-accused-witchcraft-lynched-india-mob-150808111054841.html">Al Jazeera</a></b> reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A boy died in the village a week ago. Allegation was leveled against a woman that she killed the boy through witchcraft," Singh said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Belief in witchcraft and the occult remains widespread in some parts of India.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In some cases women are stripped naked as punishment, burnt alive or driven from their homes and killed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some states including Jharkhand have introduced special laws to try to curb crimes against people accused of witchcraft.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das condemned the latest killings in a statement on Saturday, urging society to "ponder over it".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"In the age of knowledge, this incident is sorrowful".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The province accounted for 54 out of 160 barbaric cases where women were condemned to be witches and killed in 2013 and a total of 400 women have been murdered since 2001 in the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The National Crime Records Bureau has recorded 2,097 such killings between 2000 and 2012 in India.</div>

Hundreds of Zimbabweans Face Immediate Deportation From South Africa

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA -The immigrant rights group, <i>People Against Suffering, Oppression and Poverty</i> (PASOP) is concerned that hundreds of Zimbabweans are being told to leave South Africa immediately.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PASOP is dealing with more than 220 rejections for Zimbabwe Special Dispensation Permits (ZSDPs).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ZSD permit is the successor to a permit issued as part of the Home Affairs Department's Dispensation of Zimbabweans Project (DZP) which was implemented in April 2009. The aim of the DZP was to create a record of Zimbabweans who had, until then, been living illegally in South Africa. It was also intended to give amnesty to Zimbabweans who had been using fraudulent South African identity documents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many of the Zimbabweans living in South Africa had fled the political violence, instability and economic crises that had dogged their home country for more than a decade.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ZSDP process began in October last year. <b><i>GroundUp</i> </b>has previously reported on delays and dissatisfaction with the process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bernard Toyambi, who heads a team of paralegals at PASOP, says: "We started receiving rejections in February 2015. The pile of rejections is getting bigger daily. So far we have around 222 rejections."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to PASOP, the reasons for rejections include Home Affairs saying applicants have not provided proof of employment or employment contracts, have failed to include their previous permit in their applications or not provided proof of business registration or trade licences.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In some cases, Home Affairs has picked up that applicants have criminal records. One obscure reason given for a rejection is "negative fingerprint", which PASOP describes as "confusing".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of every rejected application letter there is a note: "You are to leave the country within 10 days."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This is worrying," says Toyambi. "Home Affairs gives 10 days without giving them the right to appeal. In terms of the Constitution, everyone has the right to appeal when one feels one is not satisfied with a decision."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is additional confusion because a Home Affairs employee, Gerson Muti, apparently told legal representatives of some of the rejected applicants: "Please ignore the rejection letter because all rejections are going to be reviewed even if the person did not lodge the appeal. We are just waiting for our IT section to finish developing the system so that we can start reviewing."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Benhilda Masarirambi is a domestic worker in Cape Town. Her case exemplifies the bureaucratic difficulties applicants are experiencing. Her application was rejected because Home Affairs said she did not have the previous permit. She indeed lost her permit in a car accident. However, she then obtained proof from Home Affairs that she had a permit. <i>GroundUp </i>has seen official documentation that records her permit number. Since receiving the rejection letter, she has been living in perpetual fear of being deported. She is also worried she will lose her job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PASOP is trying to help the rejected applicants appeal to Home Affairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Toyambi says Home Affairs' review of the rejections could start anytime from next month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We are not very sure how we could assist those whose applications were rejected due to having criminal records. However we still ask them to go for police clearance but if proven guilty we are not in a position to assist."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because of the costs involved in appealing PASOP asks applicants to donate R100 to cover processing (the organisation emphasises this just covers its costs).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, those rejected because of criminal records are asked to pay R200 because of the additional paperwork involved.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite numerous attempts, <i>GroundUp </i>has not been able to get a response from Home Affairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spokesman Mayihlome Tshwete has not responded to our e-mails.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After several telephone calls an official by the name of Winnie told <i>GroundUp </i>Tshwete was out of the country and that we should e-mail another spokesman, Thabo Mokgola.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<b>MERU, KENYA - A woman was Wednesday afternoon flogged and stripped naked by angry residents of Kooje village in Meru, Kenya for allegedly stealing underwears from a cloth line in Maune Estate.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Betty Kanario was reported by a pre-school boy who saw her unhung the innerwears belonging to their neighbor and started crying hence attracting his mother's attention who thought the boy had fallen from the balcony only to realize he had seen a stranger in the apartment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She tried to escape with the paper bag she had stuffed the pants after the boy's mother started shouting 'mwizi mwizi'.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Unfortunately, she tripped and fell," added the boy's mom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Residents who responded to the distress call captured her, beating and tearing her clothes "to teach her a lesson".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Luckily, she was rescued by a woman roasting yams outside the apartment who gave her a big yellow polythene bag to cover her nudity, <b><a href="http://www.kenyacentral.com/latest-addition/88916-woman-stripped-for-stealing-underwear.html">Kenya Central</a> </b>reports.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HARARE, ZIMBABWE - A prison officer who was only identified as PO1 Chimulambe and is reportedly stationed at Chinhoyi Prison has been arrested by Zimbabwe Prison and Correctional Services Police for allegedly sending his nude and porn pictures.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And some pictures show Chimulambe suckin Memory's vagina while putting on the ZPS uniform.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is not yet clear how the pictures leaked onto social media, but the Officer identified as one Chimulambe, reportedly took the 'selfies' after baby making gymnastics and showed them to his friends, boasting of his bush sexcapades.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is believed that some of the friends then leaked the pictures onto social media.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PO1 Chimulambe is currently detained at the Harare Central Prison boom gate charge office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PO2 Madzima from the Prison Police refused to comment on the charges being faced by Chimulambe. He referred all questions to one Superintendent Navoius.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A ring on his finger suggests that he may be part of a matrimony somewhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are very sorry, the pictures are too explicit to be published here. Imagine some of the pictures even clearly show the woman's "very black twins", so 'black' are the 'twins' that one might think they normally get polished, be it with cobra or even black shoe polish.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In another pic, the prison officer is seen staring at the camera while feasting on the woman's well shaven "honey jar". The woman's hand is positioning the rather huge underwear well so that her sexual goodies protrude from one side in a bid to give enough room for the security official to lick on his lover's bedroom 'cookies' with his mouth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In another photo, the woman is seen taking off her underwear. She must be very strong down there because despite the fact that she had taken off her underwear for her lover to have a feast of his lifetime, she is seen sitting on the grass with bare butt. It would be difficult not to assume that even some grass also sampled the woman's vagina as 'punishment' for sitting on the grass.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>J'BURG, SOUTH AFRICA - When she decided to become a prostitute three years ago, it was the end of her happiness. The 29-year-old mum of one who is believed to be originally from Zimbabwe and is now selling sex in Hillbrow in Joburg, South Africa said since that day she has experienced nothing but pain.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last Sunday night things reached a low point for her when her clients gave her a beating instead of paying her for her services. Her face was so swollen she could barely see and her teeth were loose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I was approached by a guy who wanted me for the night. I got into his car and there was a second man sitting there. They gave me some booze and I sat back and relaxed, but soon we were in an area that made me nervous," she said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At that point the men said they wanted her to service them both.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I said I had only agreed to have sex with one man. If they wanted more, they had to give me an extra R300. They got angry and said they were not going to be bossed around by a prostitute. They then forced themselves on me. When I tried to scream they kicked and beat me. I thought I was going to die. However, they stopped after a while and took me back to where they had picked me up," she said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She said blood was streaming down her face as she was walking home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A police van stopped next to me and I told them what had happened, but the cops said I got what I deserved. I asked them to open a case but they refused," she said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She said she first started working as a prostitute because she couldn't find a job and she was starving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gauteng police spokesman Lieutenant Kay Makhubela said the woman must visit her station commander for assistance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"No victim of crime should be turned away. She must give details of the officers who denied to help her to the commander so they can be dealt with," Makhubela said.</div>

<b>BLOEMFONTEIN, SOUTH AFRICA - A 17-year-old South African boy stabbed his stepfather to death with a kitchen knife on last Sunday night, apparently in self-defence.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Netwerk24</b> reported on Tuesday that the boy and his stepfather were arguing when the stepfather apparently threatened to shoot him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He then stabbed the 59-year-old man five times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cause of the argument is unknown, but no gun was found in the home, according to Free State police.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The boy's mother was at their Fichardt Park, Bloemfontein, home at the time of the incident, and cradled her dying husband, <i>Netwerk24 </i>reported.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A neighbour said the teenager was in a state after the stabbing, and hovered over his stepfather, repeatedly urging him not to die.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
OFM reported that the man died at the scene and the boy was arrested for murder. He will appear in court on Tuesday.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>USA - George Washington University <a href="http://undergraduate.admissions.gwu.edu/test-optional-policy">announced</a> on Monday it will <a href="http://chronicle.com/blogs/ticker/jp/george-washington-u-wont-make-applicants-submit-sat-or-act-scores">no longer require students take the SAT</a> or ACT to gain admission to the <a href="http://gwtoday.gwu.edu/standardized-test-scores-will-be-optional-gw-applicants">university</a>, making it the largest college to make the move away for standardized testing. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The policy will go into affect on Aug. 1 and will apply to all students other than a few <a href="http://undergraduate.admissions.gwu.edu/test-optional-policy-faqs#1">exceptions</a>, such as recruited athletes and homeschooled students.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The announcement from the private university in the nation’s capital underscores a growing belief in some college admission circles that standardized tests are a barrier to recruiting disadvantaged students," <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/07/27/george-washington-university-applicants-no-longer-need-to-take-admissions-tests/">according to the Washington Post</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"While that view is sharply debated, many say it is possible to assemble a strong class without forcing applicants to submit a score from tests that critics say are culturally biased and often fail to reflect academic potential."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GW is not the first college to end the standardized testing requirement; <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/07/27/bombed-the-sat-or-the-act-here-are-colleges-that-are-test-optional/">according to a Washington Post tally</a>, there are some 180 public and private colleges in the U.S. News & World Report rankings that have made a similar shift, including Wake Forest University, Wesleyan, Bryn Mawr, and Temple University. Smaller liberal arts colleges have been more willing than larger state-run institutions to offer students the option to skip standardized testing; of the report’s top 25 universities, all still require the SAT or ACT to gain admission.</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>CALIFORNIA, USA - With this inaugural khutba at the Women's Mosque of America, Edina Lekovic reflects on the historic moment as a continuation of the legacy of Muslim women and as a symbolic moment of introspection and opportunity for the American Muslim community. As more and more mosques create space for women in educational and leadership roles, we must be ready and willing to step up to the plate and contribute their talents. That is God's message to us - that we must strive and struggle with our lives and possessions, whether we are equipped lightly or heavily, in His cause. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Women's Mosque of America seeks to uplift the Muslim community by empowering women and girls through more direct access to Islamic scholarship and leadership opportunities. The Women's Mosque of America will provide a safe space for women to feel welcome, respected, and actively engaged within the Muslim Ummah. It will complement existing mosques, offering opportunities for women to grow, learn, and gain inspiration to spread throughout their respective communities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Women's Mosque of America provides women-led Friday jumma'a services for women and children (including boys 12 and under) once a month in Southern California. In addition, the Women's Mosque of America provides programming, events, and classes open to both men and women that will aim to increase community access to female Muslim scholars and female perspectives on Islamic knowledge and spirituality. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>We hear it over and over: Our phones are a deadly distraction in the car.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>It's easy to dismiss the message because it's pretty much on repeat.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But here's the thing: A phone is a deadly distraction. And even those of us who have made a commitment never to text while driving might still be putting ourselves, our loved ones, and strangers at risk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You probably know what's coming in this video, but I encourage you to watch it anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I held my breath for a little too long, and even though I knew how it was going to end, it still hit me pretty hard.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What stood out most is that the woman in the video wasn't even texting. It truly doesn't take much to change the course of our lives forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We talk a lot about teens and their dangerous driving habits - so many viral videos about texting and driving feature teens - but the truth is that we adults aren't doing the best job leaving our phones alone either.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep this bit of info from AT&T in mind:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the jaw dropper: A recent <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/28/adults-worse-than-teens-about-texting-behind-wheel/2026331/">AT& T survey</a> shows that it's adults, not teens (as might be suspected), that lead the trend on texting and driving. Almost half of all adults admit to texting while driving compared with 43% of teenagers. Of those polled, more than 98% of adults - almost all of them - admit they know it's wrong. That survey revealed that 41% of teens say they've seen their parents text and drive too.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are a few ways to ensure we stay as distraction-free as possible when driving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can put your phone out of reach, like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/momastery/posts/10153464554729710">Glennon of Momastery</a> and her husband agreed to do after watching this video.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OVnRcIXEqaU" width="700"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, if you're really committed, there's an app for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drivemode&hl=en">download an app</a>, like DriveMode, that prevents you from sending or receiving calls and texts when you're driving. While it won't prevent you from scrolling or checking social media, it's a start.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whatever it takes, the point is that we all need to find a way to leave our phones alone while we're driving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An Instagram selfie or a Facebook status update just isn't worth it.</div>

Minister Gets Parcel Containing AK47 Bullet With A Message Asking Him To Drop His Political Aspiration

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>ZIMBABWE - The deadly fights within President Robert Mugabe's warring Zanu PF took an ominous turn yesterday after Mashonaland Central Provincial Affairs minister Martin Dinha, received an AK47 bullet and a threatening message telling him to step down or risk suffering the same fatal fate that befell the late Zanu PF political commissar, Elliot Manyika, who died in a suspicious car accident in 2008.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although efforts to talk to Dinha last night were not successful, well-placed Zanu PF sources said "the parcel" with the bullet and threatening message was delivered to the minister's office just after midnight yesterday morning - amid "clear indications" that this was the work of hardliners angling to succeed Mugabe in the nonagenarian's fast-imploding party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 According to <b><a href="http://www.myzimbabwe.co.zw/news/3725-we-ll-kill-you-like-we-did-elliot-manyika-minister-martin-dinha-told-gets-parcel-with-ak47-bullet.html">My Zimbabwe</a></b>, the lawyer-turned-politician, a lightweight in Zanu PF, was said to be "very shaken and in hiding".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although once linked to ousted former Vice President Joice Mujuru, Dinha is now said to be very close to the First Family - which has apparently displeased some hawks among Zanu PF's ambitious young Turks, who are known as the Generation 40 (G40) camp.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is claimed that the G40 is not only impatient to take over from Mugabe and other ageing party bigwigs such as Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, but also that they "desire sole and unfettered influence" over the nonagenarian's influential wife, Grace - who insiders say will have a major say over who succeeds her husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was Dinha who recently had the nasty job of chasing away poor villagers from Manzou Farm in Mazowe, allegedly to pave way for a game sanctuary for Grace - who already owns vast tracts of land in the area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the sources who spoke to the news crew last night, and who is close to Dinha - who has survived several attempts to oust him from his ministerial post over the past few months - said the AK47 bullet and the threatening message had been delivered to his offices in the wee hours of Monday morning by an identified man.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Someone went to the minister's office and left an envelope with the security guards. As is the norm, when Dinha's secretary arrived in the morning, the envelope was handed to her and she duly opened it and discovered the disturbing contents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"She immediately phoned her boss, who was shaken by this development. As we speak, he has gone into hiding. For your own information, Manyika was given a death threat before he was eliminated. So the minister is taking the threats seriously," the source said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A menacing message accompanied the AK47 bullet and read:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Game over Dinha, resign now or else we get you. Dinha your time is up and you messed with the wrong guys.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But police in Bindura professed ignorance regarding the matter, with the force's Mashonaland Central head, Munorwei Shava Matutu, saying he had not been informed about the matter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I am hearing this for the first time from you. I am not aware, maybe you can phone the minister's office," he said.</div>

<b>HARARE, ZIMBABWE - A 33-year-old man's bedroom apparatus disappeared after NIKUVING (refusing) a Budiriro prostitute funds for services rendered.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Simbarashe Machokoto who resides in Mufakose said his manhood went AWOL after a romp with a hooker identified as Laiza, whose base of operations is in the vicinity of a Budiriro 4 Bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I picked up a hooker called Laiza at a Bar in Budiriro 4. We did our business after agreeing on a US$5 charge at a makeshift lodge in the neighbourhood. Unfortunately I ended up incurring costs to the tune of $15 and I failed to settle the bill since I had only $5 in my pocket. I then promised to give her the money later since I was her regular," revealed Machokoto</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He added that the thigh vendor called him a few days later demanding her dues but he did not feel like paying up giving one excuse after the other. He said that on the last day she called him, she told him that if he did not pay up, she would fix him, a threat that Machokoto dismissed as a joke.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"When I went to pee in the evening, I was shocked to discover that my manhood was missing," he said</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said he had a torrid time that night as his full bladder begged to be emptied. "I did not tell my wife, Rudo Macheke, on the first day. My body was feeling hot and in the morning I checked my privates and found they were still missing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said he went to a friend's place, Nhamo Thomas where he shared his troubles and together they consulted over four N'angas in Mufakose who demanded between US$50 to $100, a figure which he could not raise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nhamo then convinced him to try Vapostori at a place called Mapadhoki in Kuwadzana but Lady Luck was moody that day. The two friends returned home and Nhamo informed Machokoto's wife of the predicament her husband was in. Machokoto says his wife fumed for a bit but later calmed down after realising the gravity of the matter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Machokoto said the ten days that he went without peeing felt like a 'year' because of the excruciating pain he had to endure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said they tried a 'certain' church in Waterfalls but failed to get help as they did not have the $300 that is required for 'booking'. Machokoto said by that time he was now openly crying as the pain had reached extremity. He sent word to his parents who then came and witnessed the shocking 'absence' of the bedroom equipment. He said he was past caring at that point as a result of the intense pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Family and relatives then arranged for an appointment with a Prophet from the Johani Masowe yeChishanu, Nyenyedzi Nomwe in Buridiro 4.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"When I got to Madzibaba's shrine, I was beyond myself with pain my feet were swollen and my tummy had become taut with urine. Madzibaba prophesied how Laiza had locked me using Juju from a sangoma. He then put his holy stick between my legs and something inside my stomach popped and my 'things' returned," said Machokoto.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said he then discharged a strange fluid that was blackish, mixed with blood. "I used to hear these stories and never thought they were real but I had first hand experience my brother. The prophet urged me to go and settle my debt with the lady who had sorted me and warned me never to be promiscuous again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I would like to warn all men out there to desist from hiring prostitutes. If you can't resist them the pay up. I nearly died"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Machokoto who has one child with his wife, said he is grateful that his wife was understanding. He said he was not ashamed to have his story published, claiming it was a good thing actually, as it would serve as a lesson to other men out there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Prophet who rescued Machokoto, Madzibaba Enock said if it had not been for his timely intervention, Machokoto would have died.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
