FORMER PRESIDENT KAGAME'S BODYGUARD KILLED IN SOUTH AFRICA.



Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA:
President Paul Kagame’s former bodyguard has been assassinated by gunmen in Cape Town South Africa.








Rwandan high commissioner to SA Vincent Karega confirmed that Camir Nkuruziza was a metered taxi driver who was hijacked on on the corner of Hugo and Milton roads in Goodwood around 5pm.

Karega said the hijackers put Nkuruziza in the backseat of the car and sped off before he was killed in the crossfire in the shootout with the police.


“Probably they wanted to take the car … Maybe they wanted to take him somewhere it is dark or so and dump him. I don’t know,” 
Karega said.


Ugandan news site New Vision reported Nkuruziza was Rwandan President Paul Kagame’s former bodyguard before he became a government critic. The publication suggested he was assassinated instead of a victim of crime.

Karega believes the article is an attempt by Uganda to discredit the Rwandan government.
“Any opportunity for them is a political weapon.”

Rwandan State Minister for East African Community affairs Olivier Nduhungirehe said he was killed by the Goodwood Police after he resisted arrest over his involvement in car hijacking.

"So, Camille Nkurunziza, a member of terrorist organizations RNC of Kayumba Nyamwasa then FLN of Callixte Nsabimana, was also a hijacker in South Africa. He was killed yesterday evening by the Goodwood Police while resisting arrest with a knife. Once a criminal, always a criminal," 
he tweeted on Friday.


The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) and the police are investigating the shooting. The police opened fire on the suspected hijackers and killed two people.

Ipid spokesperson Moses Dlamini said: “It is alleged that there was a collision with a number of vehicles at an intersection. An SAPS member approached the vehicle and it is alleged that one suspect attempted to stab the SAPS member.”
He added: 
“Eight shots were fired by the SAPS member into the hijacked vehicle.”

Police spokesperson Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana told TimesLIVE earlier : 
“According to information, a vehicle that was allegedly hijacked, a Toyota Etios, was spotted by the police and the driver fled. A high-speed chase ensued and the vehicle collided with three vehicles. Two men in their thirties were shot and fatally wounded.”


Seven people, including a child, were taken to medical facilities for treatment. No arrests have been made.



Camir Nkuruziza has been a critic of President Kagame, accusing him of intolerance to dissenting views.



Nkuruziza is the second-high profile person to be killed in South Africa after the killing of former intelligence boss Col. Patrick Karegeya in 2014.



A report by South African authorities reveled that Rwandan dissident Patrick Karegeya was plotted and executed by agents directly linked to the government of Rwanda. 


Nkurunziza is remembered for starting a campaign, dubbed No 3rd term for Kagame, which was very popular among the opposition in Rwanda.


Camir was often seen carrying placards that read ‘No to Life Presidency.’ He also shared pictures in Tshirts reading ‘No 3rd Term For Kagame Article 101.’



Former Rwandan army chief General Kayumba Nyamwasa has also survived two attempts on his life.




Camir Nkirunziza is a brother of Sergeant Innocent Karisa who is said to being prisoned in Rwanda after he was suspected of being a member of Rwanda National Congress, an opposition outfit.

According to a close relative, Nkurunziza, a brother to Sgt Innocent Karisa who was also kidnapped from Uganda in 2013 and is said to be incarcerated in Kigali.


After the kidnap of Sgt Karisa in August 2013, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) issued a strong protest to the government of Uganda over what it called the rise in abductions and the attempted assassination of Rwandan refugees and asylum seekers in the country.

NAMIBIA VOWS TO GRAB FARMS FROM WHITE FARMERS.

Okahandja, NAMIBIA: Vibrant rows of neatly lined plants grow on a patch once trampled by the cattle of a large commercial farm run by a family of German descent in Namibia. From that 2,400 square-meter rectangle of sand in the northern Otjozondjupa region, Kornelius Hamasab, 69, now produces spinach, onions and tomatoes.

KLM CUTS SIERRA LEONE & LIBERIA ROUTES TO ADD LAS VEGAS SERVICE.

Freetown, SIERRA LEONE: Air travellers to Sierra Leone and Liberia have been hit by report from KLM that it is cutting its services to both countries.  The Dutch carrier has made this decision in order to add new flight service to the American city of Las Vegas.

Sierra Leone is one of the least favoured destinations for tourism on the continent, comparing very poorly to the Gambia and Senegal.

But carriers such as Air France, Air Maroc, Turkish Airlines, and Brussels Airlines will continue their services to the West African cities. According to a report by Air Transport World (ATW), the Dutch SkyTeam carrier KLM will stop services to Freetown in Sierra Leone and Monrovia in Liberi...
