The South African Police has confirmed that the body part of the VW polo that was pulled out of the Hennops River on Thursday, is indeed the car that the three police officers were travelling in last week when they went missing. This after evidence of a white handbag containing items such as a charger, black wallet and sets of keys – A service handbook has also been retrieved. National SAPS spokesperson Athlenda Mathe says the VIN number matches the body parts found last night.
It's Thursday, April 17th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark South African police rescue kidnapped missionary Praise God! Police in South Africa rescued a U.S. missionary from his kidnappers on Monday. Pastor Josh Sullivan, age 34, was preaching at Fellowship Baptist Church in South Africa's Eastern Cape province last Thursday. That's when four masked gunmen broke into the church, dragged him out of the pulpit, and took him hostage in front of his wife and children. They demanded a ransom. Providentially, police were able to locate him and engaged in a shootout with the kidnappers, killing three of them. Sullivan was found inside the same car that the kidnappers were in, but he was "miraculously unharmed.” Before Sullivan had been rescued WBIR, Channel 10 in Knoxville, Tennessee interviewed Sullivan's father-in-law, David Witt. He knew that Sullivan would rely on Christ in the midst of his captivity. WITT: “There's no way I can imagine going through this without Jesus, Christ.” Remarkably, he was convinced that his son-in-law would share the Good News with his kidnappers. WITT: “Giving them the Gospel. The greatest thing that could ever happen is for one of those kidnappers to get saved.” The missionary's father-in-law explained that all Christians should emulate the heart of Christ on the cross. WITT: “He said, ‘Forgive them, for they know not what they do.' And we have to forgive the people that kidnapped our son-in-law because they don't know either.” Please keep Pastor Josh Sullivan, his family, and church in your prayers. Psalm 146:7 says it is God “who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free.” U.K. Supreme Court affirms two biological sexes Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled that a person's sex is based on biology. The case began in 2018 when the Scottish government allowed the definition of “woman” to include men pretending to be women. Women's rights groups challenged the decision, going all the way to the U.K. Supreme Court. The high court's ruling keeps men, pretending to be women, out of spaces intended for women. This includes women-only changing rooms, homeless shelters, swimming areas, and medical or counseling services. Australian judge protects boy from being “transitioned” In Australia, a family court judge has ruled to protect a child from transgender drugs. Judge Andrew Strum recently awarded custody of a 12-year-old boy to his father. The father opposed attempts by the mother to put the boy on puberty blockers. She had been grooming him to pretend to be a girl since age 6. The judge noted, “I do not accept that the child, at this age . . . can properly understand the implications and potential risks of puberty blockers.” The ruling is the first of its kind against transgenderism in the country. Appearing on Sky News, Chris Merritt, the Legal Affairs Contributor for The Australian, was grateful that the judge protected this 12-year-old boy from puberty blockers. MERRITT: “Had the father believed the misdiagnosis his former wife had received that their son had suffered from gender dysphoria, there would be no role for the federal circuit and Family Court. There's a precedent that makes it clear that if both parents agree about a course of gender blocking treatment, it will go ahead without any further involvement of the court. But in this particular case, because the father objected, it found its way into court.” The legal analyst was especially appalled by the dramatic lack of evidence presented by the medical experts which would warrant attempting to feminize this boy through puberty blockers and estrogen supplements. MERRITT: “When the medical experts were subjected to a bit of cross examination and their evidence was tested quite rigorously, over a long period, huge flaws emerged. Some obvious causes of the boy's gender confusion were not pursued. If we've got a misdiagnosis in this case, based on what the judge said was evidence infected with ideology rather than facts, there could be other cases like this.” Arkansas protects kids from being placed with homosexual couples Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed the Keep Kids First Act into law last Thursday. The law protects Christian adoption agencies from having to place children in homes that go against their religious beliefs. In essence, they can bypass homes featuring homosexual couples. The measures also protect such agencies from being targeted by the government for their beliefs. Greg Chafuen with Alliance Defending Freedom celebrated the new law. He said, “Arkansas has taken the critical step to pass . . . the Keep Kids First Act, which prioritizes the well-being of kids by prohibiting state and local government officials from discriminating against adoption and foster care providers and parents simply because of their religious beliefs and moral convictions.” 71st Sanctuary City for the Unborn Last Tuesday, Mullin, Texas became the 71st city in the nation to declare itself a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. The Mullin City Council passed the ordinance unanimously. The measure prohibits elective abortions in the city limits as well as mailing abortion drugs into the city. Pastor Randy Bradley of Mullin First Baptist Church commented, “I was moved by the willingness of our city council to take such a bold stand for the lives of the unborn. I am overjoyed at being part of a community which passed this ordinance unanimously.” 27% of American adults say God does not exist And finally, Dr. George Barna released his latest study on the worldview of Americans. The study found that 27 percent of U.S. adults claim the God of the Bible does not exist. However, over a third of those who dismiss God's existence said they would be completely open to being persuaded otherwise by someone they know and trust. Dr. Barna noted, “Having an established relationship in place with people facing a crisis goes a long way toward helping them to know God and place their trust in Him.” 1 Peter 3:15 says, “In your hearts, honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, April 17th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Who is André Stander? For much of his life, Stander was an unassuming citizen who nonetheless rose to the rank of Captain in the South African Police during the era of apartheid. As the folk legend usually goes, he grew disillusioned with this racist regime and began robbing banks as a way to stick it to the system. But was he actually a freedom fighter who realized he was part of the problem, or was he just a bored nepo baby who felt like robbing some banks? -- Episode Written by Mike Bedard Episode edited by Lewis Poggie -- Join our Discord server! https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew

Operators of illegal military training camps risk losing everything. This is the warning from Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA) CEO Manabela Chauke. In this interview with BizNews, he says: “…should you be found guilty, you can even have everything forfeited to the State, including the farm that you're using.” Giving an update on investigations into the illegal military training camp where 95 Libyans were arrested recently, he says: “The main issue here is that you are not supposed to give military assistance to foreign nationals who come from a country where there is instability.” He describes the line that is drawn between tactical training and military-style training. He also details how PSiRA sent a specialist team to the farm where one training facility was registered, but the other - several kilometres away - was not. “They sent the pictures back for us to make an assessment, and we beefed up the team with an additional investigation, and all other forces then ascended there, the South African Police, National Defense Force, Home Affairs…we actually shut down the training even before the arrest took place.”
In 2017, Candice Mama was honored with the Human Beacon of Dignity Award in New York (Columbia University), presented by Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Evelin Lindner, for her significant contribution to forgiveness and reconciliation.Understanding that love and hate cannot coexist in the same space, Candice's story encompasses the forgiveness of Eugene de Kock, a former South African Police colonel, torturer, and assassin, who operated under the apartheid government. De Kock, nicknamed 'Prime Evil,' was sentenced to 212 years in prison on 89 charges, including the murder of Candice's father, Glenack Masilo Mama.Join us as we delve into her journey, the power of forgiveness, and the introspection required to close chapters and embrace new beginnings.

Civil rights group Action Society's Ian Cameron has launched a petition for a ban on the South African Police's “Blue Light Mafia”. This after a video went viral on Twitter showing SAPS VIP Protection officers violently assaulting unarmed civilians on the N1 highway. Deputy President Paul Mashatile has now confirmed that those officers are attached to his detail. “Paul Mashatile criticising an incident like this is the same as (Colombian drug lord) Pablo Escobar condemning drug trafficking. It makes no sense,” Cameron says. He says the incident is part of a culture that has been engraved in the very being of VIP Protection Services - and that has been a problem for years on end. - Chris Steyn Learn more about your ad choices.

Some of our South African Police officers live with the fear of being attacked by criminals at their police stations. One such police station is in Devon, east of Johannesburg, which has allegedly been locking it's gates at 6 o'clock every evening, for fear of being attacked by thugs. That fear, however, became a reality this week when three armed men, who pretended to be hijack victims, attacked the station and stole 10 firearms. Police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe confirmed that the Employee Health and Wellness (EHW) unit had been deployed to the station to provide psycho-social services to affected officers. The Devon police robbery is however not an isolated incident. A group of heavily armed robbers stormed Malamulele police station in Limpopo in November 2021 and made off with firearms and ammunition. Just last month, Grootvlei police station, near the small Mpumalanga mining town of Balfour, was also robbed of firearms. There have been similar reported incidents in the Western Cape and other provinces. To delve deeper into this disturbing issue, which is the subject of our Sunday Morning Discussion, we spoke to by Richard Mamabolo, spokesperson for The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (POPCRU) AND Professor Hendrik Lochner, Crime and Police Expert with Unisa's Department of Police Practices
“ So many people are afraid of taking risks. And they are so afraid of betting on themselves just in case they fail. But I've come to realise that people aren't afraid of failure, people are afraid of failing in front of other people. And I think once you take that out of the equation, and you're like, you know what, even if I do fail, I would rather be the person in the ring, fighting for what I want, and falling a few times and stumbling, then be the person in the audience judging and pointing and saying how that person could have done it better. So, I think when you take a risk on yourself, you realise it's really about choosing you and choosing the life you were destined to live. ” Candice Mama Top Five Tips For Harnessing in Power 1.

Choosing youTIME STAMP SUMMARY01:07 How trauma shapes us 02:51 The story of forgiveness11:32 Failure is a lesson16:15 Summary of the Top Five TipsWhere to find Candice?LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/candice-mama Website http://www.candicemama.com/ Who is Candice Mama?My name is Candice Mama, I was born in 1991 in South Africa a country that was gripped by the grossly violent and oppressive system of Apartheid and this is my story. In September 2014 , The National Prosecuting Authority reached out to my family to enquire about whether or not we would like to meet Eugene de Kock ( a former South African Police colonel, torturer, and assassin, active under the apartheid government. Nicknamed “ Prime Evil” and sentenced to 212 years in prison under 89 charges). As many would imagine, it wasn't a decision we came to without many dinner-table discussions and some trepidation from members of the family. We agreed to schedule our meeting for the following Tuesday. In the days to come, a sense of self-reflection enveloped me. My dad, Glenack Masilo Mama, was brutally killed in a vicious and unjust time in our country's history. My memories of him were nothing but compilations of different people's stories and pictures we collected over time. However, the one thing I knew for sure about my father was that he had been tortured and then burnt to death by a man named Eugene de Kock. I went on to read numerous articles and books about the man dubbed Prime Evil and his legacy, which was that of being the face and embodiment of an unjustifiable system of hate and oppression. Growing up in a house where reading and introspection were encouraged allowed me to be able to contextualise my dad's killing. Which, in my mind, made his death mean something. He died fighting a system and wanting a different country for my brother and myself, which we are extremely fortunate to now be living in. This made me realise I couldn't hate De Kock because love and hate cannot operate in the same space. If I wanted to resent him, I would never be able to fully enjoy the life my dad and so many others willingly or unwillingly died

South Africa's police minister says he was awaiting court instructions on whether to arrest ex-president Jacob Zuma, who has been given a 15-month jail term for contempt.The country's top court last week convicted Zuma for contempt and ordered him to turn himself in by end of Sunday to start his sentence. If he failed to do so, the police would be told to arrest him within the following three days.Police Minister Bheki Cele told reporters that they hope that they will be getting the clarification because when they were given the instruction there were no other legal activities taking place.
On yesterday's show, the crew predicted a fallout from Namibian athlete Christine Mboma's stunning performances so far this year, and once again, life decides to imitate art. Mboma and compatriot Beatrice Masilingi were withdrawn from the 400m hits at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, under suspicion of increased levels of testosterone. This has naturally caused an uproar on social media following the country's jubilant celebration of their stunning achievements. This dominates this morning's conversation.

We ended last week with the growing signs of an Angolan civil war becoming a major problem for South West Africa and the South African Defence Force. The number of incidents involving SWAPO had risen through early 1975 – but there was also UNITA which continued to attack Portuguese-developed infrastructure in southern Angola. FJ Du toit Spies writes about this in his work, Operation Savannah, published in 1989. UNITA had threatened to destroy Calueque which fed water to Ovamboland and was part of the Ruacana hydroelectric power project. Calueque was based inside Angola but as far as the South African’s were concerned, it was a key point feeding their Ruacana power station. By August 1975 UNITA had forced out the last Portuguese engineers based at Calueque – then men escaped seeking help from the South African Police based in Ovambo. They left a handful of Portuguese soldiers and a few pump operators behind, but the system was shut down breaking the flow of the all-important water to the strategic town of Ovambo. On the 7th August, ten South African workers traveling along the border were held up by UNITA soldiers who demanded money and cigarettes. The SADF was called in to protect the South Africans who travelled back to Calueque. But the three remaining Portuguese pump operators there refused to stay – despite the SADF being based nearby. The details of the crisis at the pumping station was now discussed by the SADF Director of Operations Brigadier W Black. IT just happened that he was in Rundu on the western edge of the Caprivi Strip and then travelled to Oshakati to meet other SADF officers. They had to do something about the Ruacana Water project which was in danger. On the 8th August 1975 it was decided that 2 South African Infantry based in Walvis bay should be readied to be deployed to the border.

The concerted campaign against South Africa’s mandate to run South West Africa began in 1960 with the shock of both the Sharpeville Massacre and the Old Location massacre in Windhoek sealing Pretoria’s fate. All armed movements have their trigger moment and these two triggered the ANC in the first instance, and SWAPO in the second. In both cases, the South African Police were involved and protestors were shot in the back in a kind of bloodlust that was very difficult to explain away as the protestors were unarmed. All sorts of excuses have been trotted out by the usual suspects regarding these two incidents but the reality is they radicalised an already angry people. Later SWAPO said the Old Location shooting did not lead to the overwhelming support for their struggle they believed would follow diplomatically. Far worse things were going on nearby such as the Congo rebellion with its tales of brutality at a time of heightened tension during the Cold War. As Willem Steenkamp writes in his seminal work on this story, the South African Border War 1957 to 1989, the UN simply denounced South African and life continued as before. The Americans in particular would have sytmied further security council action anyway and it was naïve of SWAPO leadership to imagine that allies in this war would simply step aside over bad public relations – as vicious as these two shootings were. Liberia and Ethiopia were the only black members of the old League of Nations prior to the UN went to the World Court to charge South Africa with a breach of mandate at this time. SWAPO leader Sam Nujoma then fled abroad and continued mobilising both military and political support in exile.

Far worse things were going on nearby such as the Congo rebellion with its tales of brutality at a time of heightened tension during the Cold War. As Willem Steenkamp writes in his seminal work on this story, the South African Border War 1957 to 1989, the UN simply denounced South African and life continued as before. The Americans in particular would have sytmied further security council action anyway and it was naïve of SWAPO leadership to imagine that allies in this war would simply step aside over bad public relations – as vicious as these two shootings were. Liberia and Ethiopia were the only black members of the old League of Nations prior to the UN went to the World Court to charge South Africa with a breach of mandate at this time. SWAPO leader Sam Nujoma then fled abroad and continued mobilising both military and political support in exile.
It was inevitable that the South West African People’s Organisation or SWAPO would begin to mobilise south of the border. Pretoria’s response according to war researcher Leopold Scholtz was based on their unwillingness to acknowledge that SWAPO formed a real danger to South Africa’s domination in South West. The first years of the battle against SWAPO was going to be led by the South African Police and not the army. Much has been said and written about this approach with the military hawks in the National Party pressing for a more determined response and the political leadership referring to avoid escalation. They were watching what the Americans were facing in Vietnam and did not like what they were seeing. The South African Army at this stage was pretty neglected compared to what would happen in the late seventies. They suffered from the after-effects of the Second World War. They also suffered from an ideological shift where many of the top officers had been pushed out of the SADF by the Nationalist led Afrikaan’s speaking political order of the day. The English were not wanted by these nationalists whose narrative was one of extremism, particularly when it came to that terrible war of 1899-1902 – the Anglo-Boer war. The minister of Defence, Frans Erasmus had institute affirmative action to promote Afrikaners at all costs – and if that meant weakening the army in the short term he didn’t care. As long as the people who looked and sounded right were promoted he was a happy man. So were his fellow Nationalists. This has a curious ring to it in the 21st Century, with the African Nationalists basically doing the same thing to whites in the military.

Forgiveness. Nelson Mandela once said “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.” Candice Mama talks about the importance of both holistic emotional experience and forgiveness. We must address our hurt and pain - hold ourselves accountable to our emotions before we can seek healing. Forgiveness is not simply acknowledging someone’s apology, it is navigating a labyrinth of honesty, self reflection and acceptance. To free yourself of the chains of resentment you must forget what you cannot forgive and forgive what you cannot forget, this is the path to self healing. Forgiveness does not make you weak, if anything it is an attribute of the strong. Do not forgive because they deserve forgiveness, forgive because you deserve peace. In this episode of the Matt Brown Show, Candice talks about her incredible experience of forgiving Eugene De Kock the former South African Police colonel, torturer, and assassin, who when active under the apartheid government murdered her father and shares insights into the power that comes with forgiveness and how you can use that power to be emotionally whole and true to who you are.

This film is 23 years in the making and we could not be more proud to have Kathy’s original dream become a reality. This would not be possible without the phenomenal group of producers, the incredible director Bronwen Hughes, the cast, crew and everyone who has been part of this journey. The journey continues… Biography Bronwen Hughes is a New York and Hollywood-based feature film director of Canadian and British origin. She is currently at work on the feature film The Journey is the Destination, based on the life of artist and photographer, Dan Eldon. This epic adventure tells the story of Dan who spent his life traveling and photographing in 42 countries, inspiring young people to follow him. Like Dan, Hughes started photographing and traveling the globe from a very young age. Hughes’ feature Stander is based on the true story of a notorious and brilliant bank robber in 1970’s Johannesburg. This charismatic criminal became a popular hero, often robbing 4 or 5 banks in a single day. Ultimately, he was apprehended and revealed to be the captain of the South African Police. Stander stars Thomas Jane (The Punisher, Boogie Nights) and Dexter Fletcher (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels). The shoot took place in Johannesburg and the Townships of Soweto and Tembisa, where Hughes directed thousands of extras in a re-creation of the riots of the apartheid struggle. Her previous feature, Forces of Nature, starring Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck, was made for Steven Spielberg’s Dreamworks. It is a stylish and unique romantic comedy about two strangers thrown together on a wild ride battling the elements, both trying to make it to Savannah on a deadline. Noted for its special effects sequences of slow-motion hail storms and surreal hurricanes, Forces of Nature was the Number One film in the weeks of its National and International releases. Hughes came to the attention of Spielberg who asked her to direct Forces of Nature after seeing her first feature film, Harriet the Spy, starring Rosie O’Donnell. Made for Paramount Pictures, Harriet was released to critical and box office success, and won international prizes. She currently has several films in development: Romeo Spy, the true story of John Symonds, one-time London policemen who became an international seducer-of-women for the KGB in the 1970’s; Firecracker Boys for Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, a truth-stranger-than-fiction story of Alaskan Eskimos exposing the nuclear conspiracy of the Atomic Energy Commission; The Dictator’s Lover, the true story of three generations of female spies; and Tropicana, a large-scale musical based on the legendary Havana nightclub.

Her award-winning documentary for The Discovery Channel, Cinenova’s Machu Picchu: The Search for Lost Worlds was filmed in the jungles of inland Peru. For television, Hughes’ prestigious pilots White Collar and Fairly Legal, both for USA Networks and Fox TV Studios, are now hit series for the network. Hughes completed an action-packed episode of Breaking Bad, which has received Emmy’s for AMC, and several episodes of the HBO series Hung, starring Thomas Jane, who also starred in her feature film, Stander. ---------- For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site.
