Police in Phelandaba got into a wild shootout with six suspects after getting tipped off about their location in northern KZN. Three dudes ended up dead, while the other three got injured and hauled off to a hospital. The group was wanted for three murders from a couple of years back, plus another killing that happened recently in Ingwavuma.
Cops found something sketchy when they recovered a police-issued pistol that went missing back in 2009 from Durban, and somehow it ended up back in criminal hands after being recovered once before. This whole mess is part of a bigger crackdown on violent crime in the province, where taxi wars and gang violence keep the murder rate insane.
AfriForum is clapping back at claims they spread conspiracy theories about white genocide in South Africa, saying they never used that term and just want real issues addressed, like farm killings and sketchy land laws. Their CEO fired back after President Ramaphosa blamed certain groups for messing up ties with America by pushing fake narratives about Afrikaners getting wiped out. The organization insists its February White House visit was about warning officials on economic risks from the Expropriation Act, not manufacturing genocide panic.
Ramaphosa went off about how these bogus stories hurt the country's global reputation and cost jobs, especially after Trump bailed on a summit in Johannesburg over these allegations. AfriForum says...
The South African Defence Union is losing it over their people joining foreign wars as mercenaries, with the national secretary warning this breaks local laws and tanks the country's diplomatic reputation. Five guys just got busted at OR Tambo Airport trying to bounce to Russia's military, and they're about to face court for violating the Foreign Military Assistance Act that bans citizens from offering combat help overseas without government approval.
The real mess involves 17 South Africans stuck in Ukraine's Donbas region after getting scammed by fake security job offers that turned into actual combat roles. The Presidency ordered an investigation into how they got recruited, and families are freaking out trying to get them home...

Vetrimaaran confirmed this story exists in the Vada Chennai universe, but it isn't actually...
Ayushmann Khurrana posted some wholesome content thanking David Beckham for showing up and doing actual work around kids' safety and gender equality stuff in India.

The comedian recently opened up about stressing over her blood sugar levels spiking despite eating clean with just millets and cutting out rice and bread completely. She mentioned feeling lost because her husband, Haarsh Limbaachiya, had to bounce to Dubai for work right when her numbers went up, and she admitted being worried about how it might affect the baby since she can't figure out what's causing the spike.
Vemal had to win over an elephant named Sena for his upcoming movie Mahasenha by bribing it with jalebis before every single take. The actor admitted he was pretty spooked at first because there were recent reports about an elephant killing two people in Tamil Nadu, but the mahout kept reassuring him the animal was super well-trained and obsessed with those sweet fried spirals.
The action thriller mixes nature spirituality with forest mythology and was shot across Kerala, Gudalur, Wayanad, Kollimalai, and Ooty. Director Dhinesh Kalaiselvan described the project as exploring how human greed messes with the balance between divine natural forces and people. The elephant apparently plays a meaningful symbolic role in the story alongside...
