Guns in wrong hands SA Mass Killings

-
 When people talk about “guns in the wrong hands,” they usually mean the risks that come up when firearms are accessed or used by people who are likely to cause harm—intentionally or accidentally. Here’s a clear, high-level way to look at it: Why it’s a problem Increased violence: Guns make conflicts far more deadly when used in crimes or impulsive situations. Accidents: Unsecured firearms can lead to accidental injuries, especially involving kids or teens. Suicide risk: Easy access to guns raises the danger during moments of crisis. Theft and trafficking: Poor storage can allow guns to be stolen and end up in criminal circulation. Common ways guns end up in the “wrong hands” Unsafe storage (unlocked, loaded, or accessible at home) Illegal sales or straw purchasing (someone buying a gun for another person) Theft from homes or cars Lack of training or oversight What helps reduce the risk Safe storage: Locked, unloaded, with ammunition stored separately. Education: Teaching ...

Let's help our Zim neighbours
These children must pay an adult to help them cross this flowing river to go to school in Zimbabwe.

MOSSEL BAY NEWS - After the Mossel Bay Advertiser published an article last week about a Zimbabwe woman looking for a pasta-making machine, a Stilbaai woman called her, offering help.

Nasper Manya, in Zimbabwe, wants to start a pasta business to provide employment and help raise money for hungry, disabled people in Zimbabwe.

The Stilbaai business woman, who herself has a pasta-making business, offered Manya a hand roller. She did not have a machine to spare.

Manya is extremely grateful for the help, nonetheless.

Many are going hungry in Zimbabwe. Disabled people have it hard. Very few have wheelchairs. Many people who do not have legs have to shuffle along on the ground because wheelchairs are so hard to come by.

Diapers for the disabled, sanitary pads, food and clothes are badly needed.

Nasper Manya assists the hungry and disabled in Zimbabwe.

Mossel Bay couple Manwell and Tina Mpofu, who come from Zimbabwe, are in contact with Manya constantly. The Mpofus are highly respected in the Zimbabwean community in Mossel Bay.

Manwell has contact with a transport business owner who regularly takes items to Zimbabwe on trucks.

If you have clothes to send to Zimbabwe, they will be most welcome. Manwell says: "It does not matter if they are old and have a hole or two. Zimbabweans have nothing and are grateful for anything they can get."

Manwell would like to send basic foods in bulk to Manya, so she can package them into food parcels in Zimbabwe. It is cost effective to buy flour and other basic items in bulk. Call Manwell (063 885 5141) if you are able to help.

You can also contact Manya (071 697 4706 or 077 675 8822) via WhatsApp, email her (nasper002@gmail.com) or connect with her on Facebook (Nasper Manya).

These holey, thatched structures are a primary school in Mwenezi, Masvingo, in Zimbabwe.

Roads in Zimbabwe are in disrepair.

Fighting Drug addiction

-
 Here's the story: We sat down with a man who had a harrowing journey with addiction. He began by telling us about his early days in tertiary education, where he would occasionally smoke dagga with friends. However, his focus remained on his studies, and he worked hard to graduate and secure a qualification. After landing a job, he started building a life for himself. He got married, bought a property, and even splurged on a car. Life was good, and he felt like he was on top of the world. But one fateful night, while out with friends, he was introduced to heavier narcotics. At first, the experience was exhilarating. He described it as an elevation from the mild high of dagga to a level 5 high, where he felt invincible and euphoric. The effects would last for days, allowing him to party from Friday to Sunday without sleep. The problem, however, began to manifest on Mondays and Tuesdays every week, when the withdrawal symptoms would kick in, and he'd struggle to function at work....

Ultra-Widebody Volkswagen Bus "Volkswide" Looks Like a Porsche Racing Van

  Home   >   News   >   Renderings It's easy to understand why a muscle car or a Ferrari is cool - the big engine and cool body. But car culture is also influenced by television, rarity, or simply a generation growing up with a particular vehicle. The Volkswagen Bus is a perfect example of this because it's slow, not sporty-looking, yet it can cost a lot of money.  16 photos The Bus is perhaps one of the least understood collectibles, right up there with bubble cars. You see them grabbing huge money at auctions, making it difficult to visualize why somebody wouldn't rather have a Ferrari or some 1960s Mustang. Comedian Gabriel Iglesias is known as the VW Bus King, as his collection of Vdubs is reportedly worth in excess of $3 million. The Hoonigan crew recently did a feature video, but we still had trouble picturing the value of these vehicles. Fortunately, there's a set of renderings that takes the visuals of the Microbus to the level where everybody...
