Seven-year-old boy back at school after crocodile attack
Seven-year-old Johandré Blom has returned to school, showing incredible bravery and resilience after surviving a crocodile attack on Friday, March 21. Johandré was playing in shallow water during a family fishing trip at the Emanzini Fishing Resort at Roodekopjes Dam near Brits when a crocodile suddenly attacked, ripping off his arm. He was rushed to ICU in critical condition, and his family—who do not have medical aid—have been faced with mounting hospital and rehabilitation costs estimated at over R1 million. A BackaBuddy campaign was launched to help ease the financial burden, and so far, a total of R445,143 has been raised. The campaign continues as the family works to cover the remaining expenses. Now, just over two months after the life-changing incident, Johandré is back in the classroom at Laerskool Broederstroom—an inspiring milestone in his journey of healing and hope. His family shared a photo of him returning to school with the following post on Facebook: 'Just a quick update. 'Nine weeks after Johandré's victory over a crocodile, our little warrior is back at school!!! 'Johandré returned to school today and enjoyed every moment. 'He handled it very well and even missed doing homework! 'He's looking forward to going back tomorrow and seeing all his friends again. 'There's still a long road ahead filled with new challenges, but we are incredibly optimistic about his progress so far and so proud of our iron-strong boy. 'Every day is a blessing, and today reminded us of that once again.' Also read: Video: Seven-year-old boy recovering at home after crocodile attack Do you have more information about the story?

Katy Perry Suffers Embarrassing X-Rated Wardrobe Malfunction after Her Bra Bursts Open During Las Vegas Performance
Katy Perry suffered an X-rated wardrobe malfunction during Las Vegas performance as part of her Lifetimes Tour. The 40-year-old pop star was enthusiastically performing her 2010 hit "Part of Me" while running across the stage in a revealing two-piece outfit, when the back of her metallic bra suddenly popped open. Perry is currently well into her 84-date tour, which kicked off after the release of her seventh studio album, 143—a project that has received mixed reviews and is considered to be poorly planned. Perry said: "Oh S*** my bra is going to come off!" but ever the professionals, continued dancing before a member of her crew rushed to help. Onstage Embarrassment "Put my bra back on, Patrick," Perry said with a laugh, as a crew member rushed onstage to fasten the clasp while the crowd erupted in cheers. She then playfully told the audience they "hadn't paid enough" for a topless show, before carrying on with her performance. This incident comes just after a buzzworthy moment during a recent show in Nevada, where Perry stunned fans by calling out an unsuspecting audience member. Wearing a leotard paired with fishnet tights, she crouched low on stage, as she searched for her target in the crowd before accusing a fan of repeatedly sending private messages to her fiancé, Orlando Bloom. Looking down at the stunned fan - referred to as Kyle - she warned: "I know why you're here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man... you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency. You didn't come to see me play." As the audience erupted with cheers, Perry continued, "If you keep on DM-ing my man I'm going to have you removed - seriously, get your own life." She then raised her voice and shouted, "He don't want you, Kyle. I'm his wife. I'm his, he's mine... stay the f**k away." Shocking Her Fan Kyle, who was standing near the front of the stage, appeared shocked and turned to his friends as Perry seamlessly worked her way back into her performance. Luckily for him, the fiery exchange was all part of a scripted bit—an interactive moment Perry uses to engage the crowd before performing her 2024 single I'm His, He's Mine. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that Perry has not been invited back to continue her Las Vegas residency, as her career continues to take a hit following backlash from her Blue Origin spaceflight and a troubled world tour. The California Gurls singer has faced severe criticism over her 11-minute journey to space in April, where she joined Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez on an all-female mission. Soon after the space trip, Perry launched her Lifetimes Tour to promote her seventh studio album, 143, which received largely negative reviews upon its release in September.

Dressed in a leotard and fishnet tights, she crouched on her haunches as she searched for her target in the audience before accusing him of repeatedly sending private messages to her fiancé, Orlando Bloom. Looking down at the stunned fan - referred to as Kyle - she warned: 'I know why you're here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man... you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency.

'Put my bra back on Patrick' she said as a man made his way on stage and worked tirelessly to fix the clasp while the audience cheered Meanwhile it emerged she has not been invited back to continue her Las Vegas residency as her career continues to suffer from the backlash of her Blue Origin space trip and disastrous world tour. The California Gurls singer has faced an onslaught of criticism over her 11-minute space flight which saw her join Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez for the all-female trip in April. Shortly after the flight, Perry kicked off her Lifetimes tour in support of her seventh studio album, 143, which was widely panned by critics on its release in September. The tour has suffered from a series of setbacks - including a delayed start in Minnesota that forced fans to stand around for hours - that have led to low ticket sales and canceled dates. In her latest blow, sources revealed that the Teenage Dream hitmaker is not welcome back to Resorts World Las Vegas after the hotel slammed her last residency as a 'disaster' that ended up costing them money. 'The residency was a disaster for Resorts World, a complete failure,' a source told NewsNation's Paula Froelich. Perry kicked off PLAY at the luxury hotel on December 29, 2021, and went on to do short stints throughout 2022 and 2023. Inspired by the looks of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Pee-wee's Playhouse and Pee-wee's Big Adventure, the songstress described the show as 'larger than life' and 'the kookiest, most camp show I've ever put together.' Consisting of a set of 19 songs, including E.T., Dark Horse, California Gurls, Waking Up in Vegas, I Kissed a Girl, Never Really Over, Teenage Dream, Roar and the show-stopping Firework. However, Resorts World allegedly lost money while keeping Perry's extravagant show on. 'There was a bidding war between Resorts World and Caesars … and Caesars technically lost out — but in the end, Caesars won,' the source said. 'Katy was getting paid between $750,000 and $900,000 a show because of the bidding war and the entire run she underperformed and Resorts World lost money.' The former American Idol judge has been suffering severe backlash ever since her space tourist trip on Blue Origin's New Shepard NS-31 mission. Perry was seen floating inside the capsule holding a daisy in a nod to her four-year-old daughter Daisy, whom she shares with her fiancé Bloom. She was ridiculed on landing back to Earth and emerging with the flower in hand which she held to the sky before dropping to her knees and kissing the ground. She then proceeded to claim she was 'super connected to love' and thanked a reporter who incorrectly referred to her as an astronaut. 'It's not about singing my songs. It's about a collective energy in there. It's about us. It's about making space for future women and taking up space and belonging,' she said in a post-flight interview.
