A South African Facebook page posted the photos earlier today. Below is report attached to the post:


"South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world, yet we feed our criminals KFC. This is Gauteng MEC Nkosi-Malobane handing over KFC to inmates during a Moroka Swallows Vs Sundowns soccer game at Leeuwkop Correctional Services.

We are confused as to why taxpayers should fork out money for KFC when children don't have school books & people are homeless. Is this good? Will it help rehabilitate them? Why do criminals deserve this? Please help us understand. GP, JOHANNESBURG, SANDTON, LEEUWKOP PRISONMore photos below...

Chef sentenced to life in prison after he confessed to delivering the savage blows that killed his heiress girlfriend

Jordan Matthews, 24, a pub chef, has been sentenced to life in prison for the death of his girlfriend, Xixi Bi, who died after being savagely brutalized by him at their flat in Llandaff, Cardiff, UK.




Xixi Bi is a student who moved to the UK from China to study aged 15. She was meant to run her family's multimillion-pound company when she came of age.

In April 2015 she began dating Jordan and through the course of their relationship, Jordan abused her several times, the last of which cost her life. Jordan Matthew attacked Xixi during an argument at their flat at about 1:30 a.m. on August 19 last year and by 8;30 a.m. she collapsed due to complications resulting from the injuries inflicted by Matthews.




When doctors examined Xixi's body they found evidence of nine previous rib fractures and a healing jaw fracture showing that she had suffered other abuses in the past by her boyfriend, who is reportedly a black belt holder in Karate.




It was revealed that prior to her death, Xixi became quieter, thinner and more withdrawn due to the abuse and neighbours reported that they often heard Matthews shouting at her. They told the court they heard him say things such as:




"I don't want to do this, I've got to punish you for what you have done," and: "If you don't s*** my d*** I'm going to hit you."



Jordan confessed to hitting his girlfriend, saying he is only half responsible for her death. He gave details of how he savagely beat her and pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denied murder, claiming he had not intended to kill her. He said:




"After me and Xixi had an argument, I did throw her onto the sofa once but that was because when she came into the living room to grab a packet of fags, I said this really isn't the time to be sitting down and having a cigarette. I asked her what she was doing, where she had been today, who she was with. She just would not tell me so I grabbed her by the front of her t-shirt, I picked her off the sofa and dragged her with one hand around the sofa and then I threw her into the bedroom.

"I threw her into the cabinet, then I picked her up from there and then I punched her. She said something and I just lost it. I instantly punched her really really hard in the solar plex area. She instantly dropped to the floor. I held her up with both her hands in front under her arms. I apologised to her and after that, we sat down and she had a little bit of water. She was shaking."The court later heard that Jordan's action was as a result of seeing what he mistakenly believed to be a message from dating app Tinder on Xixi's phone.









He was sentenced to life imprisonment at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday by Mrs Justice Davies after she outlined the abusive relationship between Matthews and Xixi Bi, who was described as "a generous and loving young woman". Justice Davies said to Jordan:




"When you met Xixi you were unemployed. She was the daughter of wealthy parents living in China. Xixi provided you with a home, clothing, she bought a car for you. You took what she gave."Xixi Bi's brother, Zexun, lamented his sister's untimely death. According to him,




"She was intelligent and had the whole world in front of her. All this taken from her, due to Jordan Matthews and his selfish and violent attack on my sister... the heart has been ripped out of our family." More photos of the couple, below...

Emir of Kano clarifies proposed Islamic Family Law to deter men who are not financially incapable from polygamy

The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi ll said the proposed Kano Islamic Family Law was not meant to stop Muslims from marrying up to four wives as prescribed by Islam.During the 50th anniversary of Ambassador Wali in Abuja last Sunday, the monarch said a committee he has set up is seeking to propose a law which will expect men to fulfill certain conditions before they can marry more wives. The law will also address outlaw forced marriages, make domestic violence illegal, maintenance of of children and inheritance.

"Those of us in the North have all seen the economic consequences of men who are not capable of maintaining one wife, marrying four. They end up producing 20 children, not educating them, leaving them on the streets, and they end up as thugs and terrorists" the Emir said.

"It will be the first time in Northern Nigeria that a Muslim law on personal status will be codified," he added.
Shedding more light on the proposed family law on Tuesday, through the Chairman of Islamic Family Law Committee, Dr.Bashir Aliyu, Sanusi said the law was rather meant to guide Muslims faithful on how to conduct their family lives in line with the teachings of Islam, Daily Trust reports.
Emir Sanusi explained that the proposed law was aimed at digesting issues bordering on marriage, inheritance, orphans, widows and divorce among others in order to guide Muslims to the real teachings of Islam.


On the polygamy issue, the emir said, the law provides that a Muslim can marry additional wife only when he meets up with two fundamental conditions; that he would be just in treating his wives and had the means of taking care of more than one wife.


"These are the two conditions provided by the law and that what Islam says about polygamy. When passed into law, the law will help our judges and lawyers in discharging their duties as administrators of justice.


"It will also guide the community how resolve some family matters. And it will equally prevent alien laws and culture from penetrating into our religion,” he said.

He, however, said the law did not in any way prescribe punishment for defaulters, saying this was purely the discretion of the court of law.


He said the 40-member family law committee had already drafted the law and is currently reviewing it before submission to the main committee for final draft and subsequent passage into law by the Kano State House of Assembly.


Sanusi said the committee was able to reviewed Islamic family laws of the following countries; Morocco, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar,Kuwait, Bahrain, and United Arab Emirate, Malaysia and Jordan before coming up with the draft of proposed Kano family law.


The emir said members of the committee comprised of judges, Qhadis,lawyers and experts in Islamic Shari'ah law. He expressed hope that the law would help the people of Kano state.

French presidential candidate cancels meeting with Lebanese Islamic leader after she was asked to wear a headscarf

Anyone following the French presidential race will be familiar with far-right candidate, Marine Le Pen of the National Front party. Her policies and utterances closely mirror that of Donald Trump's. The 48 year old cancelled a scheduled meeting with Lebanon's most senior Islamic leader Sheikh Abdellatif Deryan after she was handed a headscarf, asking her to cover her hair. She objected to covering her hair and canceled the meeting.
Her ‘political gesture’ against the Sunni Grand Mufti was aimed at asserting French secular values in Lebanon, where the main religions are Islam and Christianity.

The visit had been planned in advance and the Sheikh's people said she was informed of the traditional procedure of covering the head as a mark of respect.
Ms Le Pen who is on a tour of the middle east said she had visited Al-Azhar, the Egyptian centre of Sunni Islamic learning, in 2015, without covering up adding:

‘The highest Sunni authority in the world did not require wearing this, so I have no reason to.' She told reporters: ‘But it doesn’t matter. You pass on my regards to the Grand Mufti, but I won’t veil myself’.Praising the ‘political gesture’, Florian Philippot, one of Ms Le Pen’s closest aides, said it was ‘a beautiful message of emancipation and freedom sent to the women of France and the world’.

Sheikh Abdellatif Deryan is in charge of Dar al-Fatwa, the highest Sunni authority in Lebanon.

In a statement, it said it had ‘informed the presidential candidate, through one of her assistants, of the need to cover her head when she meets his eminence, according to the protocol assumed by Dar al-Fatwa.’
The statement added that ‘the leaders of Dar al-Fatwa were surprised by her refusal to comply with this well-known rule.’

It is common practice for foreign politicians and diplomat to adopt local customs when visiting religious institutions abroad.

Controversial Zimbabwean prophet, Paul Sanyangore has said he has God's direct phone number and receives calls from him on how to help his followers. Speaking to H-metro, about a video where he was seen prophesying to a church member while on the phone during his Sunday service, he said: 'I have a direct channel, actually I have his number and I can call him when need rises.
People believe that the prophet could have been on the line with someone with information on the church member, but he responded saying:


'It is possible to talk to God, why would you doubt that I got a call from him? I actually have a direct line which I can call him and get instructions on how to proceed. I got this when I was praying and I heard a voice telling me to call direct.
I got instructions on the phone on what to do or say and that is what happened on Sunday. If the heavens spoke to Abraham why not us? You are of faith and people will always have doubts while others are being delivered,' he added.The man of God also revealed that a television channel called 'Heaven Online' will be launch soon, where more of his conversation with God will be hopefully heard.

'You will actually see more of this. We are hoping that we will be on TV this year and we actually have a session called 'Heaven Online.'

Whistle-blower exposes suspicious N8.4b in an unclaimed bank account

Detectives at EFCC and the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, are trying to find the owner of an account which has N8.4billion in it. The bank account has no signatories but a huge deposit made into the account has been traced to a bank which is believed to have assisted the money launderers, who own the account, to convert the cash to dollars.
They think the cash may have been wired into some foreign accounts, but the government has filed an ex parte motion to place it under temporary assets forfeiture.

Despite the fact that the account has no signatories, a telecommunications company has gone to court to claim the money.

This account was discovered when a whistle-blower alerted the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, to strange deposits that were being made into the ECOBANK account by some suspected government officials.

Out of the several deposits made, about N8.4billion was singled out for investigation.
According to The Nation, a source involved in the investigation said:

“A whistle-blower alerted the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, leading to the involvement of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission( EFCC) in the investigation.
“The probe of the account by detectives showed that the funds were routed through the account of a telecoms giant but there was no disclosure of the signatories to the account. “Also, the list of depositors into the account was unknown but the sequence of deposits was tracked by detectives.”The source confirmed that an ex -parte application had been filed at the Federal High Court 11 in Lagos, presided over by Justice Abdulazeez Anka, to recover the cash that has been temporary seized.
The matter is in Court and will come up on March 3 for hearing.

The Federal Government hired two lawyers, Mr. John Samuel Opeyemi and Mr. Oluwafemi O. Aweda, to recover the said funds.

Another source involved in the investigation said:
The source added:

“Detectives stumbled on separate deposit of N5billion and N4billion. But investigation is at present concentrated on the recovery of N8.4billion, which was changed to dollars and probably wired into some accounts abroad.
“A telecommunications giant has approached the court to claim the ownership of the cash.
“We have been demanding for the list of signatories to this account but it is yet to be provided".
