South African rapper ‘Jub Jub’ and Tshabalala guilty of MURDER
A South African court on Tuesday (October 16, 2012) found rapper Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye guilty of ploughing his car into a group of children while drugged and drunk, killing four and seriously injuring two more.
A Soweto court found the rap star guilty on four counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder, the SAPA news agency reported.
Maarohanye and his co-accused were said to have been drag racing in the township on March 8, 2010, under the influence of a cocktail of drugs and alcohol, when they hit a group of school children.
The verdict was read by Brian Nemavhidi of the Protea Magistrate’s Court to cries of emotion from the relatives of the deceased.
“The death of the deceased occurred as a result of the driving of those vehicles and as such the accused are convicted of driving their vehicles while under the influence of drugs,” Nemavhidi said. The co-accused Themba Tshabalala says he felt remorse after being found guilty on four counts of murder, adding “none of those kids deserved to die.” AFP/SAPA/wire services

The greatest Igbo ODUMEGWU OJUKWU’s great farewell in Aba. By Chido Nwangwu http://www.usafricaonline.com/2012/02/28/the-greatest-igbo-odumegwu-ojukwu-farewell-in-aba-by-chido-nwangwu
USAfrica: Ikemba ODUMEGWU OJUKWU’s farewell in Aba, today February 28, 2012, reflected a fitting tribute, historically meaningful celebration, proper regard and deserving appreciation of the greatest Igbo, in my opinion, to have ever lived (like him or hate him).
I SALUTE Aba (aka Enyimba city), the robust and fearless town I was born, bred and raised, for giving the Ikemba, our Ochiagha, Gburugburu, Oka oburu uzo, dike na ndu ma n’onwu, mgbadike anyi, a hero’s farewell.
To the Ikemba, may your valiant soul rest in peace and dignity.
We will, and I, Chido Nwangwu, will never forget to continue to tell my generation and the next about your towering courage through tempest and thunder; through sorrow, pain, tears, blood…. •Dr. Chido Nwangwu, Founder & Publisher of USAfrica multimedia networks, first African-owned, U.S-based newspaper published on the internet USAfricaonline.com; and recipient of several journalism and public policy awards, was recently profiled by the CNN International for his pioneering works on multimedia/news/public policy projects for Africans and Americans. http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/international/2010/07/29/mpa.african.media.bk.a.cnn.
