Awoken reeling from shock!!!

What could have happened? The mysterious death of Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp, a law graduate, model, daughter, lover, friendly, beautiful and bubbly as described by family and friends.

Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius arrested for allegedly killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.  Pistorius, 26, shot and killed his 29-year -old girlfriend in the early hours of Valentine's Day at his home , mistaken her for a burglar.  Steenkamp was shot in a hip, near right ear and in an elbow while locked in the toilet of Pistorius's R4- million home at Silver Woods Country Estate in Pretoria.  Police confirmed four shots were fired and that Reeva Steeenkamp was declared dead on the scene.

The internationally renowned double-amputee athlete has spent nights at Brooklyn Police Station during his bail hearing.  On Friday 15, Pistorius sobbed when he appeared in court before Pretoria chief magistrate Desmond Nair.  His lips trembled in the dock and he burst into tears.  -reports- Added that he has one registered firearm-a 9mm Parabellum Taurus.  The state argued and charge Pistorius with premeditated murder, while his defense punched holes in detective's evidence- Warrant Officer Hilton Botha.  He was late remove from the case due to negligence and outstanding attempted murder charges against him.

The bail hearing continued throughout the week and billions of us where all legal experts! Twitter was the best platform, buzzing... where its all happening.  The circumstances surrounding Reeva's death remains a mystery.  Her death over shadowed the opening of Parliament, on Thursday evening.  Born in Cape Town, 19 August 1983 and grew up in Port Elizabeth where she attended convent school at St Dominic's Priory.  She went on to study Law at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and graduate in 2005.

One of her closest friends, Gina Meyers, a make-up artist in Johannesburg, said she last saw "Alfi" alive on Tuesday, two days before she died.  "She came to me into my room and said 'We're gonna be awesome!' and I said 'Yes!' "I was on my way to work and she had a meeting to go to.  We always psyched each other like that," said Meyers.   Reeva's family are heartbroken and want only the truth from Oscar Pistorius. Barry Steenkamp, Reeva's father says he doesn't hate Pistorius  and June, mother want closure 'My baby loved like no one else' Why?Why my little girl? Why did this happen ?Why did he do? What for?

Blade Runner's sponsors and career went into the crisis-management mode, fading enormously after he was arrested on Thursday and charged with murder on Friday the following day.  Nike, one of Pistorius leading  sponsors, withdrew advertising featuring 'the bullet in the chamber' slogan following his arrest.  He was granted bail of R1 -million on Friday 22, and sheltered in the home of his uncle, Arnold Pistorius, in the suburb of  Waterkloof in Pretoria- for the next 101 days.  He will be reporting to the Brooklyn Police Station or Correctional Service Facility 29 times before his next court appearance on June 4, 2013.

Details are undisclosed, of the location where he will be reporting too.  Oscar's Uncle, Arnold Pistorius said he (Oscar) never intended to harm Reeva, let alone cause her death.  Maintain he's innocent till proven guilty.
In the one-minute clip from a reality show on SABC 1, Tropika Island of Treasure, Reeva Steenkamp says: "You literally fall in love with Jamaica, you fall in love with being in love with love.  It's one love everywhere.  "I'm going home with sort of sweet taste in my mouth and I don't have any regrets, I don't have any bitterness.  I take home with me so many amazing memories.... that I'll treasure forever.  I think the way that you go out, not just your journey in life, but the way that you go out and make your exit is so important.  You  either make an impact in a positive way or negative way, but just maintain class and just always be true to yourself".  -Additional reporting by Gareth Wilson-

We all want to achieve, arrive somewhere and graciously have that sense of belonging...be at peace with ourselves.  Yes, message of New Year resolution have been send across by our loved ones, to show love and appreciation as we celebrated, emerge into the New Year.  Well here we go again! to the road trip of Blogger Land.

Drums please! The first target is Lance Armstrong, the former cyclist who made headlines in 2012 after being found guilty of doping.  In 2012, Armstrong was stripped all his tour de France tittles and banned for life by the USA Anti-Doping (USADA).  " Cheeky " Armstrong, who has consistently denied drug-taking, resisted to come clean about the doping scandal which he won the Tour a record of seven times from 1999-2003.  Miraculously he cane clean... Armstrong 'admits to Oprah ', the one and only Oprah Winfrey.  On the 14 January 2013, a recorded two-and-half-hour interview with the talk show host at his home in  Austin, Texas.  It is said that; before the recording, the 41-year old,  Lance personally apologize to the staff members at Livestrong, the charity he founded in 1997 to support the cancer survivors. -REPORTS-

The judge who okays child sex! where does he get off? Who do he think he is...to make such judgements.  Somebody tell him that this is not 'HELL'.  Few days after celebrating the New Year,  Judge Pierre Rabie's ruling following an application last April by the Teddy Bear Clinic for Abused Children, supported by the Centre for Child Law, challenging certain provisions of the Sexual Offenders Act-  Well we will keep an eye on this story as it progress, its not a Law yet.

RAPE IS THE CRIME OF VIOLENCE

It's a tragic to what have happened in the Bredasdorp, Western Cape.  Anene Booysen, 17, was brutally rape and mutilated, in Bredasdorp in the early hours of Saturday last weekend.  The teenager was found by the security guard, on the construction side.  He then alerted the authorities, she later died at Tygerberg Hospital.

Police have arrested three men in connection of gang rape and the brutal murder of Anene Booysen.   Amongst the men, it is believed that the 23-years-old is Booysen's ex-boyfriend.  Every four minute a person is raped in South Africa.  Same thing happened in India, the 23-year-old woman was gang raped and beaten to death.  Due to the fatal injuries, she died in China hospital.  Why,When and How men rape? Rachel Jewkes, a Medical Research Council say men rape because they want  control, women wear short things, and women's body are made for men! Early childhood shows that men who rape were abused when they were kids.  Adding that, a woman who breaks off with her boyfriend is likely for her to be raped, by the ex-lover.

"Men who rape don't show remorse",said Sonke Gender Justice.  They meet with the perpetrators in various prisons, to hear their reasons why they rape? They reviewed that, 76% men show no remorse at all and hatred towards women in general.  Wow! what about the 34%? The Justice System must look at this carefully, give a harsh punishment and #stoprape.  The story that mad headlines last week, a Limpopo 'sangoma'(traditional healer), who married 13-year-old girl.  Apparently the teenager suffers from an epilepsy, what do you make of this ha? Its abuse,sexual abuse "rape'" for heaven sake! It's a crime.  The family, why on the first place allowed this to happen.

Anin Boysen will be buried today> so sad.... May Her Soul Rest in Peace.
