IT WAS just a normal, cold night and the Gcobo family slept peacefully in their beds. But during the dark night evil people prowled around their house. AND WHEN THE GCOBOS WENT OUTSIDE THEY FOUND A GRINNING SMILEYHANGINGFROMTHEIR FRONT GATE!

“I will never eat a smiley again in my life!” said Nothembalethu Gcobo (42), from Holomisa in Khayelitsha, Uitenhage. “When I see smileys now

they will always remind me of this.” She said they have been terrified since they went outside on Wednesday morning and found the sheep’s head with a cotton rope threaded through its ears and secured with what looked like a red Christmas cracker. A passing neighbour on his way to work alerted Nothembalethu about the horrible sight outside her house. When Daily kasi Team arrived, curious onlookers were gathered around, watching proceedings from a safe distance.

“We were terrified when we found this thing,” said Nothembalethu.

“I’ve only ever seen anything like this in the movies, not at my own house. We can’t even open our own gate because of it!”

She said the head is a threat to them.

“We run a successful business selling airtime, cold drinks and amagwinya and people are jealous of us.”

Lawrence Gcobo (58), Nothembalethu’s husband, said: “This incident will not affect me or my business.”

But he believes the head has something to do with his sore feet.

“I believe this is the reason I struggle to walk sometimes,” he said.

“But it won’t stop me from living my life. Only God can decide what is going to happen to me.”

A neighbour, Giza Hobongwana (56), said he had last seen something like this when he was a young boy at school. “We found sheep intestines at the school,” he said.

“I want to go to a sangoma and find out who did this.”

Traditional healer Madoda Mtyaphi told Daily kasi news the sheep’s head is pure evil.

“This is not a message from the ancestors. This is the actions of evil people with their evil ways. This is nothing but Satanism,” said Mtyaphi.

“I advise the family to do what they believe in. They must consult a sangoma or go to church, but they must do it soon!”

A Jaguar which was hijacked from its owner on Sunday night was found abandoned in the bushes in Motherwell, NU9 on Monday morning.

Spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge says it is alleged that the victim was driving in Umnulu street, shortly before midnight, when a white Toyota Avanza started to flash its lights behind him.

He says the owner alleged that the Avanza overtook him and blocked him from running further.

Beetge says two armed suspects ordered him to get out of his vehicle, on which he jumped out and ran away.

Police will now dust the car for fingerprints and forensic analysis to identify the culprits.

THE people of Summerville in the Eastern Cape are worried that their ancestors are being disrespected.

That’s because piles of rubbish and empty booze bottles are being dumped at the local cemetery.

Residents said they have complained many times without getting any help.

Things got worse on Thursday when they found that some of the graves at Give-Knock Cemetery had been burnt.

Resident Makhi Mboniswa (42) told Daily kasi news: “I got the shock of my life when I visited my parent’s gravesite.

“It was burnt and empty liquor bottles were all over the place.”

Community leader Eric Nogampula said he was shocked to find the tombstones of his siblings had been burnt.

“There was also rubbish on top of some of the graves,” said Eric.

“We reported this situation to the municipality last year. We were promised that cleaners would be sent in the first week of August. But it never happened.

“Instead our graves were burnt down this year.”

Eric said he went to the Addo Police Station to report the matter.

However, Chief Superintendent Wilfred Klaas said they were not aware of the matter.

“We are going to send a team to find out what has been happening to the graves,” said Klaas.

Mayor Zolile Lose said: “Farmers around Summerville dump rubbish wherever they feel like.

“Our plan is to monitor the dumping site and cemetery.”

FOR months cops had been struggling to work out who was stealing cattle in KwaNobuhle, Uitenhage.

Not once did it cross their minds that the cheap meat sold at the popular Posh’s Place could be stolen.

After all, the shisa nyama was a stone’s throw away from the police station and some of the cops were allegedly regulars there.

Police spokeswoman Captain Gerda Swart said an increase in complaints of stock theft led to a door-to-door raid of shisa nyamas in the area.

“We had several stock theft complaints in the Rocklands area. Three weeks ago we received another about seven stolen cows,” she said.

On Tuesday their investigations led to Posh’s Place in KwaNobuhle.

Upon searching the place, they recovered raw meat from four of the seven stolen cows.

It was being stored under a bed.

Additional information led police to the crossroads behind the multi-purpose sports ground and Qukushe bush.

“This is where the cows were being slaughtered.

“We found the other three alive. Two farmers identified their cows.”

A patron told the People’s Paper that they no longer buy meat at a butchery.

The stolen meat was being sold as delicious umxhaxho and qadidi at R20 a plate.

“The meat here is fresher, cheaper and more delicious. Everyone ekasi was crazy about it. Even cops in uniform came here for a delicious plate of meat.

“I never thought it was stolen because the shisa nyama is close to the cop shop.”

Farmer Zongezile “Mvala” Stokwe was reduced to tears when he saw his cows.

“I lost two pregnant cows. But I thank God the police managed to recover another three of them. These are ruthless thieves.

“They killed my pregnant cows with pangas. The unborn calves were everywhere,” he said.

Police have arrested a co-owner of the tavern and four other men.

They will appear in court on Friday for stock theft.

Swart said: “I cannot deny or confirm that cops were buying meat there.”

Chippa United registered back-to-back wins for the first time in the Absa Premiership this season after thrashing Black Leopards 3-0 on Wednesday evening.

The Chilli Boys made only change from their first win of the season against AmaZulu before the FIFA break, with Tercious Malepe returning from the U23 national team to boost the side, with Mzikayise Mashaba making way.

Meanwhile, Leopards boss Luc Eymael made four changes from their win over Cape Town City, as Edwin Gyimah, Thobani Mncwango and Thivhavhudzi Ndou accompanied Lesedi Kapinga in the line-up.

The Chilli Boys had a great start after Thabo Rakhale opened the scoring in just the fifth minute of the match.

Norman Mapeza’s charges were on the roll as they found the second goal on the half-hour mark thanks to goal by Nigerian forward Chidi Kwem.

Chippa then managed to keep Lidoda Duvha at bay in the latter phase of the first stanza and headed to the break with a two-goal cushion.

Mapeza introduced Meshack Maphangule with 20 minutes remaining in place of Boikanyo Komane to freshen up the side.

After a quiet spell in the half, Chippa got the third goal six minutes before full-time thanks to William Twala, who killed off the match to round off an impressive win of the hosts.

Chippa moved within two points of safety with their second win a row, although they still sit bottom while Leopards dropped down slightly to 13th with 12 points.

The Chilli Boys will be aiming to get out of the drop zone in their upcoming clash at home against Baroka FC this Sunday afternoon while Lidoda Duvha will be hoping to bounce back against Golden Arrows on Saturday.

XOLILE knew he loved his sugar mama when she told him she loved his strong 4-5.

But the trouble started when he sent her a very private message meant for her eyes only.

THE MESSAGE, LIKE THE CHEATING SUGAR MAMA, ENDED UP WITH THE WRONG MAN.

Xolile Sizani (25) stares at the messages on his phone and confesses to DK News he is living in fear.

And he has reason to be scared.

Among other things, the scary WhatsApp and SMS messages promise him he will be struck by lightning, vutha will set his bed on fire and he will see worms coming out of his 4-5 before he dies.

Xolile, who lives in KwaNobuhle, Uitenhage in the Eastern Cape said the threats are coming from his sugar mama’s husband, Phumzile Bele (62).

Xolile said he met his lover in a tavern about 18 months ago.

“She told me she was starved for sex and was looking for someone young with a strong 4-5,” he said.

She said he was that man.

“She asked me to be her Ben 10 so that I could satisfy her and I fell in love with her,” he said.

But then Xolile’s lover had to go back to her husband in Khayamnadi, Despatch, about 20km away. “I sent her a message checking if she had arrived safely,” he said. But it appears her phone was with her husband.

“He phoned me and I immediately dropped the call,” said the young man.

At first, Phumzile kept phoning Xolile from private numbers but then, on Saturday, he took the harassment to a new level.

“He left death threats on my WhatsApp and Facebook page and he is serious,” said Xolile.

One messages read: “U slut uzoyeka ukuthatha abafazi babantu. “U hv pushd me 2far.”

It continues with death threats and a serious warning: “Kudala ndikucenga ndisithi leave my wife alone sifebe,”

Another threatens it’s payback time.

“Ukuba ndingubani u don’t mess namabhaca uzayibamba ngesandla lo pipi yakho,” reads another.

Xolile said Phumzile told him he was an iBhaca from Pondoland and he could do anything he wants with his life.

“I want to end the relationship, but my girlfriend refuses. She insists that she loves me and not her husband,” Xolile said.

Phumzile admitted he had sent the threatening messages to the Ben 10.

“What am I supposed to do when this boy is after my woman?” the angry man asked.

“He can get me arrested if he wants to, but that is my wife.”

The sugar mama got angry when the DKTeam visited her.

“Mind your own business!” she said and slammed the door.

SAPS Warrant Officer Gerda Swart
advised Xolile to open a case.

THEY have been married for 18 years without any problems.

And in those years, his wife never mentioned the size of his 4-5.

So the 51-year-old man thought his wife was happy.

But what he did not know was that she didn’t like the size of his 4-5.

The father of four from KwaNobuhle in Uitenhage, said problems started after his wife read an article in National Newspaper.

“She read about a man who had a small 4-5 and went to a sangoma who gave him muthi. But he overdosed, which made his 4-5 much bigger and his wife complained,” he said.

He said one day he came home to find the paper spread out on their bed.

His wife told him to read the article.

“I read it and thought it was a funny story, but my wife told me the sangoma can solve our problems. I wasn’t even aware it was a problem,” he said.

He said his wife has been pestering him to get help and it terrified him that she’s willing to end their marriage if he doesn’t do anything about it.

His wife said she was tired of fantasising about a big 4-5.

“I had accepted it because I didn’t know it can be changed, but now that I know, it has to be changed. I want to be able to hold it in my hands,” she said.

She said she would even pay for he husband’s 4-5 to be enlarged.

“I love my husband, he is a good man and we both go to church. We are a happy couple and our fellow congregants come to us for marital advice, but we have to be happy in the bedroom as well,” she said.

Neurologist Dr Godfrey Citheko said the procedure to enlarge a 4-5 is very expensive.

He said they don’t actually enlarge it, but pull out the muscles to make it larger.

“The penis is quite long from the inside, so doctors are able to pull it out but it is a dangerous procedure and I don’t recommend it,” he said.

He said the procedure would cost no less than R100 000.

The husband also has an option to wear a penis sleeve.

After missing out on the Springboks’ Rugby World Cup victory tour recently, residents of King William’s Town in the Eastern Cape turned out in their thousands on Saturday to give a hero’s welcome to one of their own, Springbok centre Lukhanyo Am.

The streets of King William’s Town were filled with jubilant fans as the rugby star’s motorcade moved to his home township of Zwelitsha.

The parade began from Breidbach with Am seated at the back of a convertible sedan, and moved through the town to the Steve Biko Centre in Ginsberg, before it headed to Zwelitsha.

Although there was no William Webb Ellis Trophy to show off or other Springbok teammates present, rugby supporters kept on referring to the combination of Am and wing Makazole Mapimpi, which resulted to the first Springboks try during the Rugby World Cup final.

Celebrations took place at the OR Tambo Community Hall in Zwelitsha with Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane also joining residents.

Addressing the crowd, Am said he was inspired to see so many people coming to welcome him. “It is very special to be at home with all the support of the community, from the elders to the children. This is really inspirational and I’m enjoying it,” he said.
