Photo: 18 year old SA teen burnt to death by boyfriend's ex-girlfriend & her friends

According to a report by SA newspaper Sowetanlive, 18 year old Boitumelo Dlamini was taken by four girls into a car, driven to a bush where they poured petrol on her and burnt her to death. One of the girls is the ex-girlfriend of the boy she's dating. Her charred body was found in the bush in Klipgat, North West, on Thursday June 25th.

Boitumelo's boyfriend's ex-girlfriend and three of her friends have been arrested for the crime and are facing murder charges and kidnapping.

Boitumelo , 18, a Grade 12 pupil at Elepsa Secondary School, became romantically involved with Tokelo Makalepho, 24, from her village, six months ago.

Boitumelo's sister, Nono Dlamini, 26, alleged Makalepho's former girlfriend was jealous and could not stand that Makalepho was dating Boitumelo.

"She constantly intimidated my sister and threatened her," said Nono, speaking on behalf of her family. My sister died because she was beautiful and doing matric."

Nono said Boitumelo's friends said that on Thursday they saw her get into a car after school.
They did not recognise the vehicle.

"We got worried when she did not return home. Later we received a call to say she was dead. We understand that they took her into the car, drove with her to a bush in Klipgat and then poured petrol on her and burned her." Nono said

Tumi, as she was affectionately called by her family, had dreams of being a crime investigator.
She was a dedicated pupil whose subjects included history, life orientation, life sciences, English and Afrikaans.

"She was a loving person, she did not want people to get hurt," her sister said. "She always smiled and was very kind."

According to Makalepho, his ex told him she will only accept their break-up if he promised to date ugly women who already have children. She also allegedly told him the new woman must not have a matric certificate.

"She was angry that I dumped her with a baby," Makalepho said yesterday. "I never thought she can do this, I'm traumatised."

Makalepho and his ex have a 19-month-old daughter.

"I don't feel that my daughter is safe with her anymore. I dumped her because she cheated on me, she cannot blame me for her failures," he said.

North West police spokesman Captain Paul Ramaloko said four people were arrested.
They will appear in the Brits Magistrate's Court today.

Why I signed with Glo - Wizkid

Nigeria’s music superstar Wizkid, has shed light on the circumstances surrounding his new endorsement deal with Nigeria’s telecommunications giant, Globacom.

In a statement released in Lagos by his Manager, Mr. Sunday Are, Wizkid said Globacom is a brand he had admired for a very long time considering its strong persona and its very massive impact and image in the entertainment industry in Nigeria.

“Globacom is huge in my industry and I see the evidence of the company’s commitment to improving the industry and the lives of its practitioners everywhere I turn. To be honest, it’s been a dream to have a working relationship with the Glo brand. An opportunity to turn this dream to reality came, and I took it.”

“It’s an incredible blessing to be sought after by arguably Nigeria’s two most powerful brands at the same time. My decision to go with Globacom this time is not an act of spite against MTN. I simply seized an opportunity to move from Yellow land to greener pastures. God ble

Lol. Kanye West gets a taste of his own medicine as he gets interrupted by a stage crasher while he performed at Glastonbury Festival

When fans heard that Kanye West was going to perform at the Glastonbury Festival, they reacted with disappointment that show organisers had lined up a hip hop artist when it was traditionally a festival for other genres of music. 

So there was a strong petition signed by 134k angry Glastonbury fans to have Kanye's headline act cancelled but he still performed, so one music fan took matters into his own hands on Saturday night, found his way onto stage and interrupted Kanye West's Pyramid stage performance before being dragged off.

 

The stage crasher was comedian Lee Nelson who gave Kanye a taste of his own medicine after the rapper famously interrupted Taylor Swift and Beck during awards acceptance speeches.

Kanye was in the middle of an expletive-laden performance, which went out live on British television, when Lee invaded the stage at Worthy Farm in Somerset.

Nelson wore a T-shirt that mocked the rap artist's album Yeezus - as it read 'Lee-zus' instead - and tweeted before the gig: 'Some people were saying Kanye shouldn't headline Glastonbury so I thought I'd give him a hand.' 

Even though Nelson brought his own mic, he still wasn't able to have much of an impact before security bundled him off while Kanye was still singing.

Of course, Kim was there to support her husband and take plenty snapshots of the performance and her self.

 

Despite the petition, fans still came out en-masse and seemed to enjoy Kanye's performance

Good Samaritan allows woman to hear her husband's voice before he dies

"You don't know who I am but I'm here with your husband and he's been in a terrible accident."

Those are the words Tami Cochran heard when she answered the phone from an unknown caller on Saturday night. On the other end of the phone, was Bianca Walker.

"That's when she said can I speak to him so I put the phone to his ear," Walker said. " He just broke down crying ."

Walker said she pulled over on Leesburg and Patterson Road around 9 p.m. after seeing Alvin Cochran, Jr. injured on the side of the road. A few feet away from him was a burning motorcycle.
Cochran was struck by a car while on his motorcycle.

Behind the wheel was 44-year-old William Trexler, he's been charged with felony DUI.

"The only thing he said to me was babe I'm hurt, come and get me and I said I'm coming and those were our last words," Cochran said. "Our very last words."
Cochran succumbed to his injuries.

"If no one would've stopped he could've' passed right down the street, but when he passed he was with loved ones," Cochran said.

"I just felt like it was my duty as a Christian and a God-fearing woman so I was like I have to stop," Walker said. " I just can't see something and keep going."

Tami said she would be forever thankful for Bianca's kindness.

"Don't know her all but I'm glad I know her now," Tami said. "She gave me my time. She gave me his voice for the last time."

Trexler was granted a $150,000 bond. He is currently being held in the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.
