🇿🇦 Thousands of South Africans took to the streets to demand stricter enforcement of the country's immigration laws and stronger action against illegal immigration.

The demonstrations drew large crowds across different parts of the country, with police maintaining a strong presence to ensure public safety and prevent violence.

In response, the South African government urged protesters to remain peaceful and emphasized that immigration laws must be enforced only by authorized state institutions. Officials reminded the public that while citizens have the right to express their concerns, no individual or group has the legal authority to take immigration enforcement into their own hands.

The protests reflect growing public debate over border security, immigration policy, and the government's role in addressing illegal immigration while upholding the rule of law.

What are your thoughts on this issue?

The expulsion of former Representative Yekeh Kolubah raises some serious questions. If due process was followed in expelling Yekeh Kolubah, it should be clear and fair. Ignoring a stay order raises concerns about respect for the rule of law and institutional accountability.
But if a stay order was in place, why was it ignored?

Note: This is not a political discussion.

Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has consistently argued that the real struggle in South Africa is not fear of prison or death, but fear of poverty, unemployment, landlessness, and loss of dignity.

His message reflects a broader political stance: that economic freedom and social justice remain unfinished business decades after apartheid.

⚖️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: Bail in Liberia 🇱🇷

Ever wondered why some people are released after an arrest while others stay in custody? It all comes down to whether the offense is Bailable or Non-Bailable under Liberian Law.

1. Bailable Offenses: The General Rule

Under Article 21(d)(i) of the 1986 Constitution, every person has a fundamental right to bail. This protects the principle that you are "innocent until proven guilty."

What it means: For most crimes (theft, simple assault, etc.), you can be released by providing a "bond" (money, property, or insurance) to ensure you show up for your court dates.

The Law: Constitution Article 21(d) & Criminal Procedure Law, Chapter 13.

2. Non-Bailable Offenses: The Serious Exceptions

There are specific "Capital Offenses" where the court can deny bail to protect the public or prevent the accused from fleeing.

The Rule: Bail is usually denied when the "proof is evident or the presumption great" that the person committed the crime.

Key Examples:

Murder & Treason: (Constitution Article 21)

Armed Robbery: Made a non-bailable capital offense by the Armed Robbery Act of 2008.

R**e: Under the New R**e Law (2006), r**e is a non-bailable offense to protect survivors and prevent witness intimidation.

The Bottom Line 🛑

Bail is not "getting off free"—it’s a legal guarantee of your appearance in court. While the Constitution favors liberty, the law draws a hard line at violent and capital crimes to keep our communities safe.

The United Nations took a significant step.

A total of 123 countries voted to label the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity.

Three countries voted against it: United States, Israel, and Argentina.
The United Kingdom and the European Union chose to abstain.

The resolution was introduced by John Mahama on March 25, the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery. It received support from the African Union and CARICOM.

The historical data remains stark:

12.5 million Africans were taken over four centuries

More than 2 million died during transit

Jamaica received about 1.5 million enslaved Africans

Only 300,000 survived until emancipation

The resolution pushes for:

Formal apologies

Financial reparations

Return of stolen cultural artefacts

Investment in education

It is not legally binding, but it signals strong global political alignment.

The African Union has designated 2026 to 2035 as the Decade for Reparations. CARICOM’s 10 point reparatory justice plan now aligns with Africa in a unified push.

The United States maintains that there is no legal basis for reparations tied to historical injustices. African and Caribbean nations reject that stance.

This marks a shift. The issue has moved to the center of global debate.

Braking News!!!?

Criminal Court “A” in Monrovia convicted five women for trafficking fourteen children and sentenced each to 20 years in prison. The court found that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, showing the women worked together in an organized scheme.

Evidence showed the defendants recruited and moved children within Liberia, including Paynesville, and later transported them to countries like Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. The court ruled that the acts involved deception, abuse of trust, and intent to exploit vulnerable minors who could not give valid consent.

The defense claimed the activity was humanitarian. The court rejected this argument due to contradictions and strong supporting evidence from the prosecution. It confirmed the existence of a coordinated conspiracy.

The court stressed the seriousness of child trafficking and imposed strict penalties. It also prioritized victim protection. The fourteen children were placed under the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection for care, rehabilitation, and reintegration.

Authorities must verify any custody claims using legal documents and DNA testing where needed. Ongoing monitoring of the children’s welfare was also ordered.

The ruling is seen as a major step in enforcing anti-trafficking laws in Liberia and signals strong judicial action against such crimes.

In Monrovia, the Liberia National Police has officially named Samuel Jackson as a suspect in the death of his wife, Toni Jackson.

Police Inspector General Gregory O. W. Coleman confirmed on March 14, 2026 that Jackson is currently being held at the police headquarters along with several relatives and household staff while investigators continue to examine the case.

Under Liberian law, the police have 48 hours to decide whether to formally charge him and send the case to court or release him if there is not enough evidence at this stage.

Investigators have already searched Jackson’s home in Sinkor, where they collected samples and other items that will undergo further forensic testing.

Jackson, who had earlier been identified as a person of interest, reportedly turned himself in voluntarily and is cooperating with investigators. Police have also questioned family members, staff, and neighbors in an effort to understand what happened before Toni Jackson’s death.

If prosecutors decide to file charges within the 48-hour period, Jackson will be taken to Monrovia Criminal Court to face arraignment. If not, he will be released while the investigation continues.
