Principal and teachers ‘arrested' in front of students
Principal and teachers 'arrested' in front of students
VAALPARK – On May 14, the classroom tables shook as students laughed when Lumiére Primary School held their Break the Rules Day.
Learners decided the fate of their beloved teachers and, by unanimous vote, selected which teachers should be arrested.
The 'culprits', a few brave souls who took up the challenge, were the principal Mr Kriel, Mr Wickus, Miss Hanli, Miss Christie, and Miss Lizzy.
With sirens blaring and a real police van on the scene, the 'arrests' happened in front of cheering learners who thoroughly enjoyed the fun-filled day.
The learners owe a lot to @PublicEyeVaalpark, because it's not every day that you see your principal being driven away in a police van while you sit on the grass enjoying popcorn.

Fabulous Reads: No thrill in Temperance Brennan novel
Cold, Cold Bones, Kathy Reichs, Jonathan Ball Publishers, ISBN: 9781398510791 I HAVE to be brutally honest. For the 21st installment of the Temperance Brennan series, this book was surprisingly bad. For those who have never come across this series, Brennan, or Tempe, as she is affectionately known, is a forensic anthropologist who assists investigations where the remains are severely decomposed or degraded. Following a slow crime season during the winter months in North Carolina, Tempe's life unravels into chaos after a mysterious package containing a human eyeball is delivered to her door. When the bodies start piling up, and the case becomes personal, Tempe notices a pattern in the murders – they all resemble old cases she's worked on. Someone seems to be targeting her, and then her daughter, who has just returned from the war in Afghanistan with PTSD, goes MIA. This is where the book takes a turn for me. Tempe is supposed to be smart, but from the very first chapter, makes reckless and questionable decisions – including running into dangerous situations without backup and not reporting her daughter as missing. What's more, she was also slow to follow the evidence. Even when it was glaringly obvious. Because the story felt contrived and unbelievable, it took away the shine of Tempe's snarky and sassy character, as well as the blunt yet endearing squabbles between her and detective Erskine 'Skinny' Slidell (who is retired but assisting with the odd cold case). I also did not enjoy the writing style. It was primarily dialogue-driven and felt choppy and difficult to follow at times. The author also presented the evidence – the murders and how they were similar to the old cases – several times. Let's not even mention the amount of unnecessary information… The identity of the suspect became clear early on, and yet, their motive could have been stronger and better developed. I am sorry to say, if you are a Temperance Brennan fan, I would highly advise you to skip this edition.

Search for missing toddler concludes in tragedy
VANDERBIJLPARK – Almost six months since the disappearance of Kutlwano Shalaba, the toddler's remains have been discovered. According to sources close to the investigation, the gruesome discovery was made last night in Poortjie, just outside Sebokeng. While police haven't issued a formal response on the matter, sources say details of how the body was located remain tightly under wraps. Kutlwano went missing in November last year when he was allegedly snatched from the back of his mother by a group of men who were reported to be travelling in a grey VW Polo. Kutlwano's ordeal sparked public outcry in Boipatong, and countless social media pleas to help locate the missing baby. While many sympathised with the mother following the news, hope turned into horror when she was arrested and charged with human trafficking, conspiracy to commit robbery, and making a false statement to the police. The scandal deepened when investigators uncovered damning evidence revealing that R75 000 was deposited into the mother's bank account on the very day her son vanished. The money was believed to be linked to the illegal sale of the toddler. Now, in a shocking twist, a sangoma has been arrested in connection with the case. Sources claim the sangoma may have played a sinister role in the child's disappearance, though authorities are still piecing together the puzzle. Keneilwe Shalaba (the mother) remains behind bars after her bail application was denied in April. This is a developing story.
