On Tuesday in Leonsdale, the death of a little girl, Amy Bell, sparked concerns about the lack of authority at hotspots in the Elsies River area. Tehillah Community Collaborative CEO, Sister Magda Kleyn, tells the Daily Voice that things turned chaotic.
The driver barged in here after the accident. He was being chased by the gangsters, who were baying for his blood. She adds that he ran into the girl’s class and left his car at the scene. People literally carried him out of the premises.

Seven other people were seriously injured, while 2 other individuals were left unharmed inside the barbershop during the shooting.
The government of national unity, including the Democratic Alliance (DA), has people up in arms. ANC and NEC member Lindiwe Zulu said such a partnership would be spitting on the graves of dead heroes of the struggle. The South African Communist Party (SACP) said it would support the GNU as long as the DA was excluded from it.
They said that this GNU should not include the DA; they support the minority government with GNU features without the role of DA-led forces. They are clearer about their position on coalitions.
