Meanwhile in Africa
A new superstitious belief has emerged in some areas of Mozambique - that bald men have gold in their head.
However, the head has to be taken to a witchdoctor who will use magical powers to extract the gold - and make them rich.
As a result, police say five bald men have been killed in central Mozambique - two in May in Milange district, close to the border with Malawi, and three this month in Morrumbala district.
Two young people have so far been arrested over the killings.
Mozambique police spokesman Inacio Dina said a team had been sent to the remote region to investigate the murders:
Our preliminary conclusion indicates that the phenomenon is due to cultural beliefs. We are currently investigating the case to find out more and to understand the dimension of the problem.
The phenomenon can lead bald people to be pursued and killed. This is a serious homicide crime. Our current interest is to catch and hold responsible all those involved."

Time to open a wig shop in Mozambique.
And then murder my customers for their golden heads.

Time for Trump to visit Mozambique.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

South Africa has announced that 30 percent of mines in the nation must be black-owned, Bloomberg News reports.
Mines Minister Mosebenzi Zwane said the government was “not blind to current economic climate” in the country. New prospecting rights must also have 50 percent black control and the Mining Charter will channel a minimum of 1 percent of mine turnover to local communities.

I don't understand whites who remain in SA - if it were me, I'd cash everything out and start a new in AU or New Zealand..

The family of a blind South African child living in South Canterbury are "absolutely devastated" by a court's refusal to allow her to stay in New Zealand on humanitarian grounds.
The Davies family are now weighing up their options after their failed High Court bid to stop her being deported.
They say the level of care Caitlyn, 5, needs is not available in South Africa, and it would be "extremely unsafe" for her to return.
