Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2018 an explosive expose revealed that South African newspapers were disseminating fake news, this came as no surprise to police Captain Jake Smit, who had been the victim of false Sunday Siren allegations. Jake was an Afrikaner who’d been brought up amongst the Zulu, he spoke Zulu fluently and was recognized by police, as an authority on Zulu traditions. Along with Peter Khumalo his trusted Zulu Sergeant, Captain Jake Smit kept the peace in rural Umuzi, now he had to deal with an outbreak of killing that froze the district in fear. Because the slaughter was reputed to be the work of the Impundulu, a legendary Lightning Bird that struck lightning off its talons, and fed off human blood. Compounding the problem was Sunday Siren editor Mondli Mampara, who was diverting attention from an illegal organ harvesting ring, by publishing ‘death squad’ stories about the investigating police captain. So Jake Smit approached journalist Marlin Madison, who discovered illegal organ harvesting by French transplant Doctor Silvio Sarkoy, covered up by the Sunday Siren. Resulting in editor Mondli Mampara being dismissed, and an end to the fake news ‘Cato Manor death squad,’ hopefully this has taught the media a lesson. In 2023 Reporters sans Borders press index, rated South Africa freer than Britain or Australia, also most of Europe and America. Yet the International Bar Association and the International Association of Prosecutors, are beginning to wonder if the local system of media self-regulation and internal control, is truly fair comment or merely a pseudonym for media dictatorship and social control?

So Captain Jake turned to the beautiful Marlin Madison for help, she was a trained journalist and would be able to unearth, what devious scheme the sleazy Sunday Siren editor had involved himself in. Captain Jake Smit was an Afrikaner who'd been brought up amongst the Zulu, he spoke Zulu fluently and was recognized by police, as an authority on Zulu customs and traditions. Along with Peter Khumalo his trusted Zulu Sergeant, Captain Jake kept the peace in rural Umuzi, but that wasn't always easy to do for the Zulu are a volatile people. Captain Smit loved the Zulu, but he hated the superstition in their society, the witchcraft murders and ritual killings. Now he had to deal with an outbreak of killing that froze the district in fear, because the slaughter was reputed to be the work of the dreaded Impundulu, a legendary Lightning Bird that struck lightning off its talons and fed off human blood. Compounding the problem was corrupt Sunday Siren editor Malebe Masende, who was slyly diverting attention from an illegal organ harvesting ring, by publishing 'death squad' allegations against the investigating police captain. So Jake Smit approached local journalist Marlin Madison, who soon uncovered the illegal organ gathering of French transplant surgeon Silvio Sarkoy, and the sleazy cover-up by Sunday Siren. Which resulted in their editor Malebe Masende being fired, and the cessation of fake news like the 'Cato Manor death squad, ' hopefully this has taught the entire South African media a lesson. For both the International Bar Association and International Association of Prosecutors, are becoming concerned at newspaper fake news, and the international media are beginning to wonder? Is South African news reporting truly fair comment, or is the liberal system of media self-regulation and internal control, merely a pseudonym for media dictatorship and social control?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than ten thousand years ago, a race called the Bitalo conquered the continent of Africa. They were something like vampires, something like African vampires. There is a quite a bit of sunshine in Africa. Do you know what that means? It means that the African vampires do not fear the sun. It means that the sun cannot save you from an African vampire. There are African vampires in the United States. They came to this country during the slave trade. Most of them look like ordinary African American people, but there are Bitalos in every race. African vampires do not like blood that much. To them it is like milk—good for their health. Some call them cannibal vampires or ghoul vampires because their main food is people. They like their food prepared in many ways—fried, baked, barbequed, and ground like hamburgers. There are quite a few African vampires in the United States. Now they are planning to take over the United States. Somebody has got to stop them. John Irungu has killed quite a few Bitalos, but he is a very old man now, and he is becoming senile. Also, there would seem to be very few Irungu Knights left. But John Irungu has a much younger friend named John David Hunter, also known as the Preacher. The preacher just might be a natural-born Irungu Knight. He just might be the Chosen One. Bitalo prophecy warns them of the coming of a man who could destroy them. He would be a descendant of Curtis Jore, the man of war, the man who destroyed their ancient vampire. Could this preacher be the Chosen One?

Indeed, they take contemporary South African playwriting to new heights of 'committed theatre'.

Download or read book Chinese Entertainment written by Kwok-Bun Chan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarly studies of Chinese culture, history and society, both within and outside of China, generally pay little attention to leisure, entertainment and amusement, though it has long been known that this aspect of life gives a deep understanding of the psyche and soul, and the hopes and fears, of a person. Leisure is a less coerced-upon, mandatory human conduct than work; certainly leisurely conduct is more voluntary, expressive and creative. But when seen as human behaviour, leisure and entertainment cannot be separated from history, heritage, ethnicity, the community, family and kin, rituals and customs – thus a collective activity and its constraints on the person. This book examines a variety of genre of Chinese entertainment, from singing clubs, Cantonese opera and film, to Chinese rock and tourism. Though formally voluntary, Chinese entertainment, when entangled with ethnicity, heritage and history, is ironically a site of both enjoyment and struggle, both pleasure and suffering. This book was originally published as a special issue of Visual Anthropology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Farini would stride on to the stage and announce, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, and now for the highlight of the day, the ferocious Zulus.’ The impresario Farini introduced Em-Pee and his troupe to his kind of show business, and now they must earn their bread. In 1885 in a bustling New York City, they are the performers who know the true Zulu dances, while all around them fraudsters perform silly jigs. Reports on the Anglo-Zulu War portrayed King Cetshwayo as infamous, and audiences in London and New York flock to see his kin. What the gawking spectators don’t know is that Em-Pee once carried nothing but his spear and shield, when he had to flee his king. But amid the city’s squalid vaudeville acts appears a vision that leaves Em-Pee breathless: in a cage in Madison Square Park is Acol, a Dinka princess on display. For Em-Pee, it is love at first sight, though Acol is not free to love anyone back.

Download or read book The Dracula Secrets written by Neil R Storey and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first publication of Dracula in 1897, there have been suggestions that the book's protagonist is more closely associated with Jack the Ripper than a Transylvanian count. In The Dracula Secrets, historian Neil R. Storey undertakes an in-depth investigation of the sources used by Stoker during the writing of his seminal masterpiece. Painting an evocative portrait of Stoker, his influences, his friends and the London he frequented in the late nineteenth century, Storey explores how Stoker created Dracula out of the climate of fear that was created by the Whitechapel murders in 1888. Indeed he asks, did Stoker know Jack the Ripper personally and hide the clues to this terrible knowledge in his book? Having gained unprecedented access to the unique archive of one of Stoker's most respected friends and the dedicatee of Dracula, Storey sheds new light on both Stoker and Dracula, and reveals startling new links between Stoker's creation and the most infamous serial killer of all time.
