Leon Santos Conga, a former member of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has been found guilty of attempted murder and r*pe after intentionally infecting his girlfriend with HIV.

He appeared before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, where he was convicted.

The victim, Antoinette Ndishishi, was represented by AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit.

AfriForum said it forced the SANDF to release Conga’s medical records, which revealed that he had been aware of his HIV status since 2007.

According to AfriForum, the SANDF initially refused to release the records that led the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to withdraw the case twice.

Conga became romantically involved with the victim, who is also in the SANDF, in 2016.

The victim said she only consented to having s3x with Conga on the understanding that he was HIV-negative.

She said they had discussed the issue before but Conga never disclosed his status.

She further added that if Conga had disclosed his status, she would not have agreed to have s3x. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The court also found the victim to be a credible witness.

“Despite her testifying after at least four years since the incident took place, she gave a clear and a detailed account of what transpired. She didn’t contradict herself on any aspect,’’ said the Magistrate.

Meanwhile, advocate Gerrie Nel, AfriForum’s head of the Private prosecution unit said the judgment was a significant development of the law because it has provided a better understanding of the meaning of consent.

“We share the victim’s relief over the verdict, but we also believe she has been vindicated. When she approached our office, she was receiving no assistance, not even from the SANDF. The private prosecution unit will continue to support women who fight their way through the justice system in order for their voices to be heard,” Nel said.

Matter has been postponed to August, 7, 2024 for sentencing argument.

]In a bizarre incident at a local Walmart, a man found himself on the receiving end of multiple parking tickets after engaging in a heated exchange with a state trooper. The incident unfolded within a span of just five minutes, leaving both parties involved in a confrontation that escalated quickly.

Eyewitnesses reported that the man, whose identity remains undisclosed, had parked his vehicle in a designated handicap spot outside the Walmart store. Upon exiting the store, he was startled to discover a state trooper writing a parking ticket for the violation…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

In an attempt to persuade the trooper to reconsider, the man approached him and pleaded for leniency. However, his appeals fell on deaf ears as the trooper continued to write the ticket. Frustration mounting, the man resorted to hurling insults at the trooper, referring to him as a “pencil-necked cop.”

Unfazed by the verbal onslaught, the state trooper maintained his composure and proceeded to issue additional tickets for unrelated violations. First, a ticket for worn tires was issued, followed by a series of three more tickets, with each insult from the man seemingly fueling the trooper’s determination to enforce the law.

Despite receiving a total of five parking tickets, the man remained unperturbed as he revealed that his actual vehicle was parked out of sight around the corner. It seemed that his primary intention was to antagonize the trooper rather than contest the issued tickets. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Authorities were called to the scene as witnesses became concerned about the escalating confrontation. The situation was quickly diffused, and both parties were separated before any further escalation occurred. The state trooper declined to comment on the incident, while the man was escorted away from the scene by Walmart security.

Local law enforcement agencies are now reviewing the incident to determine if any disciplinary action is necessary regarding the trooper’s conduct. Additionally, legal experts have highlighted the importance of maintaining respect and civility during interactions with law enforcement officers, emphasizing that verbal altercations can lead to unnecessary consequences for all parties involved.

The incident serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of engaging in confrontations with law enforcement, even in seemingly trivial situations. Authorities urge individuals to remain calm and respectful when faced with a parking violation or any other encounter with law enforcement officers to avoid exacerbating the situation and potentially facing legal repercussions.
