Cape Town - The NSPCA has secured more than R92 000 in donations in a Backabuddy campaign to help pay for the case it lodged against Speaker of the National Assembly Thandi Modise. Modise is accused of gross neglect of animals on her Modderfontein farm, near Johannesburg.
The NSPCA allegedly found unfed animals left to starve to death after workers downed tools because they had not received their wages. When officials arrived at the farm, they found 50 animals had starved to death and 162 more had to be euthanised to prevent further suffering. Among the animals found were pigs, ducks, sheep and goats.
Public relations officer at the NSPCA, Meg Wilson, said AfriForum was donating its legal services and the investigative arm of the case was what had cost them a great deal. “Attorney Gerrie Nel and the investigative team have used a huge amount of resources in investigating this case,” she said. The fund-raiser was trying to defray some of those costs. To donate, visitbackabuddy.co.za/gerrie-nel-animal-farm or visit thebackabuddy.co.za homepage. Ziyanda Mgandela

SA Jewish Board wants to meet Somerset West Private school over 'Nazi salutes' | Cape ArgusThe Cape Council of the SA Jewish Board of Deputies has requested a meeting after an image showing students making Nazi salutes went viral. Why are we showing a picture with the kids faces discernible is offensive to use the Nazi salute or the swastika but it cool for helenzille to tell blacks that colonialism was good to them, our oppression in SA continues to this day. I'm middle aged. I have read up and watched the horrors about ww2 on history channels etc. But I have no direct connection to the atrocities that happened. Unless these people specifically discussed and preplanned to do a Nazi salute with the intention of doing one. It's BS.
