SLAIN rapper Nkululeko Flabba Habedi's younger brother Tshepang Habedi has slammed his brother's girlfriend and murder accused for appearing in court with visible injuries.

According to Tshepang, the accused Sindisiwe Precious Manqele (25) deliberately wounded herself after stabbing the 38-year-old hip hop star in the heart to death in his Alexandra home in the early hours of Monday. 
Speaking to Sowetan, Tshepang relayed the feelings of the Habedi family by stating that Manqele was being dishonest.
"I heard about the wounds, she is lying. She stabbed herself in front of the police and they know what happened," said Habedi. Andile Mazibuko, a family friend of the Habedis told eNCA that the family believed justice must be served and Manqele brought to book for her actions.

Through her lawyer, Manqele told the court she was in pain and showed a wound to the stomach and bruises on her body. It was previously reported Manqele had attempted suicide by using a beer bottle to slit her wrists. She was attended to by paramedics and bandaged before leaving with the police. Luyanda Habedi told reporters that Manqele was found hunched over her lover's body, screaming "help me, help me".
On Tuesday morning, at the accuser's first appearance at the Alexandra Magistrate's Court, local residents clashed with a group of women and a man, understood to be Manqele's relatives. The two groups traded insults, and the residents insisted Manqele should not be granted bail.
"How do you know what happened? You weren't even there," one of Manqele's relatives shouted. Residents responded with outrage and banged on the family's car. They struggled to get into the car and, once inside, the driver could not reverse out of his parking bay outside the court as the crowd blocked his way.
"No bail, no bail," they shouted.
After several minutes, the car drove out. It was not clear whether a crack in its windscreen was caused by the confrontation. The crowd ran after the car, which got stuck in the traffic building up on the narrow road outside the court. Habedi's brother Tshepang, the family's spokesman, sped away from the court in a white VW Golf. Journalists chased after him, hoping to get comment.
Earlier, dozens of people could not get a seat inside regional courtroom one, which was packed to capacity ahead of Manqele's appearance. Some of Habedi's relatives struggled to get in. An irritated female relative said she had expected better control of who entered the courtroom, after a court official refused her entry.
Manqele appeared in court dressed in a hoodie, black T-shirt, and leggings. Through her lawyer, the petite young woman said she had sustained bruises and stab wounds to her arms and stomach. On the instruction of her lawyer, she removed the hoodie to show the court her injuries. She complained of pain. The magistrate agreed to letting a doctor see her.
The deceased rapper is survived by his mother and younger brother Tshepang and his two children, Lesego and Tshegofatso.
The case was postponed to March 16.

Joost tape is out for all to see...

Image
THE Joost van der Westhuizen sex tape saga descended into a tabloid frenzy last month as Heat magazine screened a grainy video purporting to show the former Springbok captain in compromising positions.  The 29-minute tape, which was shown to journalists, showed a man who bore some resemblance to Van der Westhuizen frolicking with what heat magazine described as a “vindictive young lady” wearing two G-strings “in the stripper tradition”.  It claimed that the video proved conclusively that Van der Westhuizen had cheated on his wife, singer Amore Vittone. But the magazine did not identify the woman and provided little corroborating evidence in the accompanying story. Twelve print, radio and television journalists watched the man, whom Van der Westhuizen strongly denies is him, arousing himself, running his hands over the woman’s body, and using a sex toy. Now HEAT has place the video up on their site.  Click HERE to see all this drama.
