Meanwhile, the man alleged to have kidnapped and raped a nine-year-old Hanover Park girl has had his parole revoked. Convicted rapist Igshaan Williams, 51, was formally charged with rape, kidnapping, human trafficking, and sexual assault and appeared in the Wynberg Magistrate's Court on Friday. Williams was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment in 2005 for raping a 10-year-old and was granted parole late last year. Previously, the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) said Williams was identified as Isaac Booi on their system, however, he appeared in court under a different Muslim name. DCS spokesperson, Singabakho Nxumalo, explained that community corrections officials have since verified his identity and confirmed that he is indeed a parolee currently under the supervision of the Cape Town Community Corrections office. NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila, confirmed the matter has been postponed for two months. 'The accused's parole has been revoked. This means that there is no bail application. The accused will appear via Audio Visual Remand (AVR) from now on,' Ntabazalila said. Residents from Hanover Park came out in their numbers demanding justice for the girl and her family. According to the Public Relations Officer for the Faith and Hope Missing Persons, Dennis George, they got a call at about 5pm that the girl had gone missing. She was last seen on Tuesday, May 13, between 3pm and 4pm. 'The suspect had sent the girl to the shop with R20 to buy him milk. On her way to the shop, she got a friend and told her she would be back. She said she would just be taking the milk back,' George said. When she did not return, residents went searching for the child, and she was found in the home of the parolee. The matter was postponed until July 25. Cape Times

Colorado football secures commitment from former UCLA offensive lineman
Colorado football secures commitment from former UCLA offensive lineman Just two days after bringing in Walker Andersen on a visit and extending an offer, Colorado landed a commitment from the promising young player on Saturday. A former UCLA Bruin and native of the Los Angeles area, Andersen is a 6-foot-8 versatile offensive lineman. While Andersen is primarily a guard, he can move out to tackle if necessary, using his 82-inch wingspan to control defensive linemen at the line of scrimmage. Andersen didn't appear in a game for the Bruins last season, using up his redshirt season, so he'll head to Boulder with four years of eligibility remaining. Not a projected starter this season, but judging by his commitment announcement, Andersen appears devoted to improving his game. Before receiving his offer from the Buffaloes, Andersen received only one offer from another FBS school, the former FCS program the Missouri State Bears, with all his other offers being from FCS schools. He was unrated by 247 Sports coming out of high school and in the transfer portal. Andersen is the fourth addition to the Buffaloes' offensive line room in the spring transfer portal window. Colorado added Andre Roye Jr. from Maryland, Larry Johnson III from Tennessee and Xavier Hill from Memphis, reaffirming head coach Deion Sanders' commitment to building up the Buffaloes' offensive line.

Re-ranking all 16 Big 12 football 2025 schedules from easiest to toughest
Re-ranking all 16 Big 12 football 2025 schedules from easiest to toughest ESPN's Bill Connelly released his post-spring SP+ rankings on Thursday, checking off another offseason period, the end of spring practice, and the transfer cycle. The 2025 college football season will kick off in just over three months with a Week 0 Big 12 showdown between Iowa State and Kansas State in Dublin, Ireland. Colorado will open their campaign at home six days later against Georgia Tech. In February, we used Connelly's initial SP+ rankings to decipher the difficulty of every Big 12 team's schedule. Here is the method we used to determine each team's strength of schedule: Using the SP+ power rankings, each team is given a numerical value. The higher the number, the more challenging the matchup. We added every opponent's SP+ rating together to find a total opponent score. That number was divided by 12 (number of games) to find the average opponent score — a number that can then be compared to the SP+ leaderboard to see, on average, the caliber of opponent every team will face each week. (Note: Home and away are not factored into the model, so this exercise does not account for every variable. Also, Football Championship Subdivision opponents are not listed in Connelly's SP+. Every FCS opponent was assessed a "minus-15" rating, likening them to the 120th-ranked team in the Football Bowl Subdivision.) After every team's SP+ rating received an update following spring camp and the recent transfer portal window, here is an updated look at the Big 12's strength of schedule rankings for the 2025 season. 16.
