NEWS • SA || Grammy Award winner Nomcebo Zikode recently lost her legal case against Open Mic Productions. An SA court recently ruled that Nomcebo Zikode must record two albums for Open Mic Productionsbefore she can leave the stable.

She maintained that she has never received a cent for the hit song Jerusalema, and expressed disappointment at the Gauteng High Court judgment.

In response, she said “A song that had once given the world hope, has in turn, broken me 😭I still have not seen a single cent, and I am still fighting for my rights 💔 But I will keep on fighting through this pain and exhaustion because we cannot continue excusing the exploitation of artists in this beautiful country. Aluta Continua!!! ✊🏾 💚“

If one small branch of this syndicate can produce so much damage, what will 50 branches do?

This foreigner chap was found busy managing a very productive Home Affairs branch in Tembisa. His super branch produced fake RSA IDs, SADC passports, bank cards, drivers licenses, etc. It is said that there was no passport that this branch could not fake. USA passport? They produce. The branch also specialized in refurbishment and sale of pre-loved IDs/passports, for that authentic look/feel.

Business was booming as the police also recovered bundles of cash. The branch has been operating openly and unafraid for many yrs! Impunity & audacious!

Of the 5 bodies discovered, 3 are possibly those of the missing constables, one being a white male found near a golf course in the opposite direction, while the other might belong to the bakkie owner/driver, whose body was found at the river bank.

A team of police officers, forensic pathologists, and emergency services are on the scene at the Hennops River in Centurion where three bodies, believed to be those of the missing constables, have been found.
