The talented South Africa below is a breaking report:

White Lies – South Africa August 2005 It’s over thirty years since ‘Jaws’ popularised the image of the Great White as a vengeful man-eating monster. But the reality couldn’t be further from the myth. The bloodied head of a Great White is yanked open to reveal a row of razor sharp teeth. When Henry Murray was attacked and eaten by a shark off the coast of South Africa, the monster myth resurfaced. There have been calls for selective culling and even a bounty on the head of this ancient predator. “The perception is the Jaws monster,” states shark expert Linet Companier. But considering their ubiquitous presence in the ocean, attacks on people are rare. In 2004, there were seven fatalities from shark attacks. In the same year, 15 million sharks were killed. The biggest threat comes from lies spread by fear, ignorance or greed. Now a controversial fish farm in South Africa is endangering this great animal further.

Below is an update on South Africa:

South Africa who is one of the top footballers in the world report follows:

Endemic Violence – South Africa Feb 1996 Violence in South Africa is a problem for whites and blacks, at every level of society. Hospitals deal with a constant flow of victims. One man lies on a pillow soaked in blood. Under his bed – a pool of blood. Jessie Duarta, Minister of Safety and Security in the Gauteng Province, claims that the present government is the first to admit to a crime problem. Everyone blames high crime rates on high unemployment. In prison, a young white man says he will turn to crime again if he fails to get a job when he is freed. Police patrol the streets always with a gun in their hand. It is the only way to survive. White middle class families live in high security compounds. There children can play safely in neat gardens behind airy, red brick houses. Professor Eddie Wolff, a specialist in trauma, warns that if the government does not deal effectively with crime, will witness the advent of vigilante groups. People will take the law into their own hands and South Africa will enter another phase of ‘traumatisation’ From: journeymanpictures Views: 59804 104 ratings Time: 30:56 More in News & Politics
