In June 2020, 28 yr-old Tshegofatso Pule was found hanging from a tree in Roodepoort, South Africa. She was beautiful and 8 months pregnant at the time. In a nation where gender-based violence and 'femicide' is rampant, this wasn't completely a new trend. But the fact that her boyfriend and father of her unborn child was behind this slaying shocked the country. After an investigation, police established that Ntuthuko Shoba was responsible for her murder by hiring a hitman to kill her. But why would he do that? It had to do with the fact that Pule wasn't his only girlfriend and his other girlfriend was about to inherit a very large sum of money. ★★PLEASE RATE THE PODCAST: I'd like to as a quick favor - please rate/ review the Homicide Inc podcast if you haven't already.

'n Kriminoloog in Sdui-Afrika meen baie lesse is geleer uit die Tshegofatso Pule-moordsaak. Ntuthuko Shoba is verlede week lewenslange tronkstraf opgelê nadat Pule se liggaam in Junie 2020 aan 'n boom in 'n stuk veld in Roodepoort gevind is. Die 28-jarige Pule was swanger. 'n Kriminoloog van die Tshwane Universiteit van Tegnologie, Kholoefelo Rabuku, sê die saak het aansienlik bygedra tot die profielsamestelling van oortreders van geslagsgeweld en toon dat welaf, goedgeklede persone ook skuldig kan wees daaraan.

Mercedes-Benz South Africa (MBSA) will dispose of the passenger car business of its Gauteng West own-retail operations, as well as a portion of its commercial vehicle business, held in Sandown Motor Holdings (SMH), to the Motus Group. The value of the deal is not disclosed. SMH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MBSA. The proposed disposal of SMH forms part of MBSA's implementation of Project Focus, which resulted in the earlier spin-off of Daimler Truck from the Mercedes-Benz car business on a global level. The rationale for the spin-off was to enable Mercedes-Benz and Daimler Truck greater entrepreneurial flexibility and agility, the independence to focus on its strategic direction in respect to electric mobility transformation, improved customer centricity and the opportunity to unlock their full potential. “MBSA's proposed sale of SMH is the next logical step in the growth of our company,” says Mercedes-Benz Cars and MBSA executive director Mark Raine. “A simplified corporate structure will enable MBSA to focus on the next phase of the company's growth premised on customer centricity, and the . . . Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, Mercedes-Maybach and Mercedes-EQ brands.” The proposed disposal will include the following dealerships: Mercedes-Benz Sandton, Mercedes-Benz Constantia Kloof, Mercedes-Benz Bryanston and a single commercial vehicle dealership in Roodepoort.

And the answers given from the Word of God by Siyabulela Gilz Pantshwa who serves as an elder/Pastor at Emmanuel Baptist Church and a Church planter planting in the squatter camp of Remising in Roodepoort, Johannesburg, South Africa and Gideon. In this Episode we answer the Question: Can I trust the Bible? Such a historic document must be inaccurate or mistranslated somewhere down the line - like a game of broken telephone. 1a) How was scripture written, formed, edited, discovered, critiqued, and inspired? 1b) Almost all Christian beliefs and traditions come from the Bible — but where did that come from?

Caring for the dying is often underestimated – we underestimate how much it takes from us as we choose to do it. I know because when I did it, I didn't understand the magnitude of this process for me. The thing is, when the one that we care for passes away, we continue living without them. This episode is the 3rd part of the Death and Dying series, and it brings up various topics that we all can consider when we choose to care for others who are dying. My mentor, Rachelle Fuehrer is an international counsellor, therapist and coach. She trained as a bereavement counsellor at a private hospice in Roodepoort, Johannesburg, and completed Palliative Care support training in Switzerland.

Like in birth and life, death also has its processes. The dying process happens on all levels – emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. I intend for this conversation to offer us an understanding that death is just like birth and life – it has many processes, and each process has stages. It can also help to be aware of the process we go through as we are about to start our death journey and when we support other people going through it (and this will be covered in the 3rd episode of the Death and Dying series that will be coming to you shortly). Rachelle Fuerer is an international counsellor, therapist and coach.

Poor service delivery from government is something that every South African has battled with. Millions of impoverished citizens sit without water, electricity, properly schooling and housing while corrupt officials loot and plunder. Other problems like crumbling road networks don't only damage vehicles, but endanger lives too. After waiting for local government to do something about the potholes in Roodepoort, the local community has decided to take action themselves - fixing potholes and doling out upgrades. Community member Dave Baxter and Amy-Claire Morton of the IRR joined the BizNews Power Hour to discuss this uplifting story of active citizenry.

In this week's podcast we talk to Lebogang Lebepe, a 27 year old real estate investor and developer. He holds 4 finance qualifications and is a business accountant by profession.    Lebogang has an inspirational story - he was born in a skwatta camp (informal settlement), or as he says - a tin house - and was the first in his family to graduate from high school and go to university and get a degree.    He started off his career as a business accountant where he met real estate and development clients as well as professionals.    He soon noticed that most professionals, who had the funds, didn't have the time to invest in real estate so he started a property fund to help them get started as property investors.    He bought land in an affluent area and built 18 2-bedroom units. It took him 6 months to fill the units with tenants. After reviewing the company's real estate strategy, they realized the development didn't fit the strategy and they sold the units for R12 million (US$696,000) and made a 300% profit.    His company changed strategies and started focusing on developments in the township, renting to young professionals who are looking for affordable, secure and comfortable housing.    In the last 2 years, they've done several developments and are currently working on 6 developments, one of which is in Roodepoort and comprises of 380 units and will commence construction in November 2020.   This is another incredible and inspiring guest and this episode covers a lot of ground in a short space of time.    Click play to listen to this week's episode and share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
