Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla appears in court wearing ‘Modern Day Terrorist' shirt amid terrorism charges
Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, the daughter of former president Jacob Zuma, appeared before the Durban High Court on Thursday in connection with the violent unrest that gripped parts of South Africa in July 2021. The disturbances, which erupted in the wake of her father's incarceration, resulted in widespread public violence, looting, and destruction across KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. Zuma-Sambudla, who was all smiles in the courtroom, is facing serious allegations linked to her social media activity during the unrest. She wore a t-shirt with the words 'Modern Day terrorist'. "She faces charges of incitement to commit Terrorism, and two counts of Incitement to commit Public Violence," said National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara. The trial is scheduled to take place over nearly two weeks at the Durban High Court, running from November 10 to 21, 2025. Allegations are that Zuma-Sambudla used her online platforms to encourage acts of violence and public disorder during the week-long chaos, which claimed over 350 lives and caused billions of rands in damage.

Race horse sculpture by Sir Alfred Munnings to be sold at auction
The piece, by Sir Alfred Munnings, who is known as one of Britain's greatest equestrian painters, will go under the hammer at Christie's London on July 2. Racehorse Brown Jack had six consecutive victories at Ascot between 1929 and 1934. The tabletop bronze sculpture was created in an edition of just five, and is currently owned by the Munnings Art Museum in Colchester, Essex, which also owns a second. Scarlett Walsh, sculpture specialist at Christie's London, said: 'Sir Alfred Munnings is rightly celebrated as one of Britain's greatest equestrian painters, and Brown Jack reveals his extraordinary ability to capture the character and form of the horse in three dimensions. 'Executed with anatomical precision and deep personal affection, the work stands as a powerful tribute to one of the most iconic racehorses in British sporting history. 'Brown Jack offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a work of remarkable artistic and historical significance, also with outstanding provenance. It is a masterpiece of equine portraiture and a lasting testament to the artist's lifelong devotion to the subject he loved most.' The sculpture is estimated to sell for up to £300,000 at the auction, Christie's Old Masters To Modern Day Sale: Paintings, Drawings, Sculpture.
