He asked how I got the job and I told him I bought it, he sent 3 million to me and on Sunday, I called him to meet me at Muhibba Filling station to take his job offer.
I already stationed some boys outside and when he came in, we locked the door and we tried tieing up, in the process, my hands entered his mouth and he bit me with his teeth cutting my finger off.
One of the boys brought out a pestle and hit his legs, he became weak and we tied his legs and hands. We also hit his head twice . The two boys brought his car, I opened the gate for them and we put him in the boot. I took his car to a garage close to Bristol Palace Hotel. " I blame the devil for this.

It is disappointing to see the Trump administration discriminatory actions, People of color and brown individuals deserve protection, yet it is disheartening that they are denied while those of white descent receive it. Allowing white criminals from South Africa into US
The same white minority that persecuted and murdered millions of blacks in south Africa during apartheid era now have the audacity to accuse the government of confiscating their lands.
Nelson Mandela made a mistake, he should have expelled all of them instead of integrating them, when Hitler was defeated during world war II, Germany was divided into two, the east was occupied by the Soviet union and the west was governed by the US, UK and France until the reunification in 1990
Don't ever allow your enemy into your life without doing the needful
The newly arrived people are from the ethnic minority of Afrikaners, the group of whites who ruled South Africa during apartheid.
American officials welcomed a group of 59 white South Africans at Washington Dulles International Airport on Monday afternoon, in a ceremony greeting them as refugees under the argument that they are fleeing discrimination and racially based violence in their home country.
The newly arrived people are from the ethnic minority of Afrikaners, the group of whites who ruled South Africa during apartheid. The dozens that came Monday, including families with young children, arrived via a flight chartered by the State Department. Their resettlement in the U.S. comes as the Trump administration has shut down refugee admissions from almost all other countries, including Afghanistan, Sudan, the Republic of Congo and Myanmar.
The Afrikaners were met on arrival by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and Department of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar.
Landau said that Trump’s pause of the U.S. refugee program was from the very beginning subject to exceptions when it was determined to be in the interest of the United States. He cited the example of when the refugees “could be assimilated easily into our country.”
“They tell quite harrowing stories of the violence that they faced in South Africa that was not redressed by the authorities by the unjust application of the law,” Landau said. “The United States, as we were proud to say, has stood for equal justice under law and the fair and impartial application of the law.”
In an executive order issued on Feb. 7, Trump said the United States would help with resettling “Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation.” He condemned what he called the country’s “shocking disregard of its citizens’ rights,” specifically stating the government had seized the agriculture property of white Afrikaners without compensating them.
The executive order also said the United States would no longer provide aid or assistance to South Africa. It came after a new South African land law went into effect and seems to reflect the views of Elon Musk, the head of the Trump's Department of Government Efficiency who was born and raised in South Africa.
The law has been depicted by some whites in South Africa, and some on the right in the U.S., as specifically targeting white farmers to take away their land. The South African government and experts dispute this, noting that the law allows for expropriation in cases when the land is not being used or there is a public interest in its redistribution, similar to eminent domain laws in the U.S.
In February, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa pushed back on claims that it was a land grab. “The recently adopted Expropriation Act is not a confiscation instrument, but a constitutionally mandated legal process that ensures public access to land in an equitable and just manner as guided by the constitution,” he wrote on X days before Trump issued his executive order.
Discussion around the law has fit into a larger narrative on the American right about white South African farmers supposedly being killed in large numbers, something Trump talked about in his first term and which Musk has referred to as “genocide,” even though there is not data to support this.
The New York Times reported that 101 out of the 225 people killed on farms in South Africa between April 2020 and March 2024 were Black current or former workers living on farms. Of that number, 53 were farmers, who are usually white.
The president on Monday said the carve out for South African refugees wasn’t race-related.
“Farmers are being killed,” Trump told reporters. “They happen to be white. Whether they are white or Black makes no difference to me. White farmers are being brutally killed and the land is being confiscated in South Africa.”
White House deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser Stephen Miller defended the admission of white refugees on Friday.
“What’s happening in South Africa fits the textbook definition of why the refugee program was created,” Miller said. “This is race-based persecution. The refugee program is not intended as a solution for global poverty, and historically, it has been used that way.”
Officials in South Africa have disputed that claim.
“It is most regrettable that it appears that the resettlement of South Africans to the United States under the guise of being ‘refugees’ is entirely politically motivated and designed to question South Africa’s constitutional democracy; a country which has in fact suffered true persecution under Apartheid rule and has worked tirelessly to prevent such levels of discrimination from ever occurring again,” Chrispin Phiri, a spokesperson for South Africa’s Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation, said in a statement Friday.
Landau, the deputy secretary of state, reiterated the Trump administration’s stance on Monday. “It is not surprising, unfortunately, that a country from which refugees come does not concede that they are refugees, and unfortunately, you know, the South African government has not done what we feel is appropriate to guarantee the rights of these citizens to live in peace with their fellow South Africans, which is why, under our domestic law, they were given refugee status,” he said.
The Episcopal Church said on Monday that it would not work to resettle the Afrikaners after the federal government asked it to do so under the terms of a refugee resettlement grant to the church.
Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe wrote in an open letter that the church has decided to end refugee work with the federal government by the end of the fiscal year, “in light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa.”
“It has been painful to watch one group of refugees, selected in a highly unusual manner, receive preferential treatment over many others who have been waiting in refugee camps or dangerous conditions for years,” Rowe wrote. “I am saddened and ashamed that many of the refugees who are being denied entrance to the United States are brave people who worked alongside our military in Iraq and Afghanistan and now face danger at home because of their service to our country.”
Thula Simpson, an associate professor of history at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, said that Trump’s rhetoric and the admission of Afrikaner refugees in the U.S. has created tensions in South Africa.
“By using the term ‘genocide,’ Trump has gone beyond the reality here,” Simpson said. “It creates a very uncertain situation, very intense situation, with aggravated race relations in the country — and the outcome is unpredictable.”
budaatum: This will not fix UK's problem of worker shortages for which they'd still need immigrants.
All that's changed much is they must now come from English speaking countries and have degrees. They'd have difficulty attracting them though, as competition for that class of people is high, and UK still needs to sustain the universities with high fees paying foreign students, English speaking or not.
Yeah I agree with you, but they will be okay with it for as long as the policy will reduce immigrants from third world countries
Trump started it and Nigerians applauded him, now UK is following suit, it's just a matter of time the entire Europe will put in place tougher immigration rules.
Good for them sha, every country is trying to fix their problems, what are Nigerian leaders doing about the numerous problems bedeviling us?
Sir Keir Starmer has promised to overhaul a "broken" immigration system, with plans to tighten English tests for all visa applicants and their adult dependants among the reforms being considered.
Migrants will also have to wait 10 years to apply to settle in the UK, instead of automatically gaining settled status after five years, under the plans.
Labour's long-awaited migration rules, to be published soon, will "create a system that is controlled, selective and fair," the prime minister said.
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the idea Sir Keir "is tough on immigration is a joke" and promised to push Parliament to introduce a cap on migration.
Speaking before the publication of the Immigration White Paper, Sir Keir accused industries being "almost addicted to importing cheap labour" instead of "investing in the skills of people here and want a good job in their community".
He singled out engineering as an industry "where visas have rocketed while apprenticeships have plummeted".
The current system shuts out "young people weighing up their future" who missed out on potential training, Sir Keir said.
This is so racist and it's just too obvious considering the brutality with which the Trump administration is treating refugees from other countries that are already in the US
I hope Cyril Ramaphosa strips these freeloaders of their citizenship and ban them from coming back to south Africa
Dozens of Afrikaners who claim discrimination in their home country left Johannesburg on Sunday. Their departure for the U.S. came as the Trump administration was halting virtually all refugee admissions.
A U.S.-funded charter plane carrying dozens of white South Africans who claim to have been victims of discrimination in their home country left Johannesburg on Sunday, heading for the United States, where the Trump administration is welcoming them as refugees.
The departure of the white South Africans, who say they have been denied jobs and have been targeted by violence because of their race, was a remarkable development in President Trump’s redefining of U.S. foreign policy.
Mr. Trump has halted virtually all refugee admissions for people fleeing famine and war from places like Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. But he has created an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners, a white ethnic minority that created and led the brutal apartheid regime in South Africa.
The refugee process often takes years. But only three months have passed from the time Mr. Trump signed an executive order establishing refugee status for Afrikaners to the first cohort making its way to America.
Families lining up to check in for the flight on Sunday evening at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg waved off questions from reporters, saying that the U.S. Embassy instructed them not to speak with the news media. Parents, with children in tow, pushed trolleys piled high with luggage, and spoke quietly among themselves.
One of the travelers briefly cracked a smile when asked if he would miss rugby, a favorite sport of Afrikaners, and biltong, a popular beef jerky-like snack. But the police occasionally reprimanded journalists, saying they did not want them to antagonize the Afrikaners.
In all, 49 Afrikaners were boarding the flight, according to a spokesman for South Africa’s airport authority.
While administration officials plan to celebrate the Afrikaners upon their scheduled arrival on Monday morning in Washington, aid groups, immigrant rights activists and the South African government and public have criticized the refugee initiative, saying it makes a mockery of a system devised to help the most vulnerable.
Even some leading Afrikaner activists in South Africa have said they would prefer if Mr. Trump provided support for them to build a better life at home.
The Afrikaner refugee program seems to have deepened tensions in an already strained relationship between South Africa and the United States.
While Mr. Trump has equated efforts by the South African government to undo racial inequalities created by apartheid to anti-white discrimination, South African officials have cast the granting of refugee status to Afrikaners as a politically motivated attempt to discredit the country.
The Trump administration has criticized the South African government for having a close relationship with Iran and for its strong stance against Israel, including bringing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice over the war in Gaza.
But for many Afrikaners, the descendants of European colonizers who arrived in the country some four centuries ago, this moment goes beyond politics.
No white person in their right mind would stay in this country,” said Jaco van der Merwe, 52, an Afrikaner living in Johannesburg, adding that he and his wife had been the victims of violent attacks and passed over for jobs because they are white. “I believe South Africa is finished.”
Mr. van der Merwe said he had reached out to the United States Embassy in South Africa to ask about applying for refugee status, but had not yet received a response.
The State Department said in March that it had received inquiries from more than 8,000 people. It is unclear when the government will admit more.
Much of the discontent among Afrikaners centers on their experiences in rural communities and tensions over land ownership that remain unresolved since the end of apartheid more than 30 years ago.
Many Afrikaners farm to make a living. During apartheid, the government denied Black South Africans the right to own prime agricultural land. That meant that almost all of the country’s large-scale commercial farmers were white, and that remains so to this day.
Although white South Africans make up only 7 percent of the population, they own farmland that covers about half of the country. That is indicative of a broader prosperity gap, with white South Africans enjoying much higher employment rates, lower poverty rates and more lucrative wages than their Black counterparts.
The government’s efforts to redistribute land after apartheid have largely fallen flat because of a variety of factors, including corruption, a lack of financial support for Black farmers and the inability to get enough white South Africans to voluntarily sell their land.
This year, South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, signed into law a measure that gives the government the ability to take private property without paying compensation. Although legal experts say uncompensated seizures are subject to strict judicial review and are likely to be rare, Afrikaner community leaders have expressed fears that white farmers will have their land taken from them.
Although there have not been any seizures, Mr. Trump said, inaccurately, on social media in February that the South African government was confiscating land.

I don't think any sane man whether potent or impotent will tolerate that
Air Peace has successfully carried out a humanitarian mission to repatriate 78 Nigerian women trafficked to Côte d’Ivoire under false pretences of employment.
Honestly DNA test should be made compulsory, and after child birth government should make it free or reduce the cost, they should pass it into law as a criminal offense
In many families today men are just foster fathers.
A man’s world turned upside down after he discovered that the four children he had been raising with his wife weren’t biologically his.
It all started when his eldest daughter took a DNA test to trace her ancestry and found no genetic connection to her father. She confronted him with the results, and although visibly shaken, he calmly asked her not to mention it to her mother just yet.
He proceeded to test the second and third children. The results confirmed his worst fears: none of them were biologically his. He chose not to test the fourth child, citing the child’s young age and the psychological damage it might cause.
When he confronted his wife with evidence, she denied it at first, then claimed it happened only once. However, more digging revealed that each child had a different biological father.
The man, devastated, left the house for a while to process everything. Upon returning, he distanced himself emotionally from his wife but remained close to the children. He expressed that, even though they aren’t biologically his, they still bear his name and he raised them with love.
Tragically, the story took another dark turn—his wife eventually took her own life. In the video, the man wished the entire incident didn’t happen and was clearly pained by how it all unfolded.

what does JD Vance know
Both countries have nuclear weapons. Even a limited nuclear exchange would have catastrophic humanitarian, environmental, and economic effects, possibly triggering a global crisis (like a "nuclear winter" or major climate disruption).
India is a major player in the global economy, a full blown war with Pakistan will disrupt supply chains, markets, and regional stability, affecting everything from oil prices to stock markets worldwide.
More than 100 fighter jets from India and Pakistan were involved in a major aerial engagement that occurred on May 6 and 7, Pakistani officials have confirmed, making it one of the largest and longest dogfights in recent global aviation history.
Pakistan Air Force (PAF) confirmed the scale of the incident during a press briefing in Islamabad on Friday, stating that over 100 jets were mobilised by both sides in a fierce engagement that lasted more than an hour.
A senior security source told US broadcaster CNN that 125 fighter jets participated in the air battle, with missile exchanges occurring at distances of up to 160 kilometres (100 miles).
According to the highly placed Pakistani source, neither side crossed into the other’s airspace.
The latest confrontation follows heightened tensions in the region, particularly after an attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Experts note the air engagement did not escalate into a full-scale cross-border clash, with both sides reportedly remaining within their respective airspaces to avoid the political fallout seen during a similar episode in 2019, when an Indian pilot was shot down, captured, and paraded on Pakistani television.
According to sources quoted by CNN, one of the five Indian aircraft reportedly downed was directly struck by a Pakistan ground-based air defence system.
Islamabad has also revealed that it had deployed the Chinese-made PL-15 air-to-air missile during the intense skirmish. [/b]The Indian Air Force has not yet issued an official response confirming or disputing their losses.
PAF also released audio recordings, purportedly from downed Indian Rafale jets during the aerial clash.
In the intercepted audio, a voice identified by Pakistani officials as an Indian Wing Commander can be heard coordinating operations mid-flight while repeatedly checking on the status of his formation members, suggesting a scenario of high tension and damage control during the dogfight.
Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed, who played that audio recording in a press briefing, said: "I have an audio from Rafale formation that I will share. The call sign is Godzilla…. Those animals are extinct, so this one [jet] also got extinct."
"We had a plan. India had said they would have Rafales, and that's why this time we targeted their centre of gravity in the shape of Rafales. This is why you see such good numbers [of planes downed]."
"We could have more numbers, but we showed restraint," Ahmed said.
"But I must say," Ahmed told media, "that it is not the equipment that matters all the time it is the training, it is the leadership that gives you the direction."
