  • EXCLUSIVE: SHOCKING IMAGES OF CAPE TOWN’S BONE-DRY DAM WHERE ONCE LOCALS USED TO GO BOATING AND WATER SKIING WITH PIX By Magnus News Agency Shocking images show a bone-dry desert where once boats used to sail on a reservoir as drought continues to ravage South Africa. Theewaterskloof Dam once hosted yacht clubs and water skiing but today not even one vessel could be launched on the parched space. Photographer Dirk Theron visited the starved body of water last week and took these frightening images of the dried-up lake which should supply 40 percent of the water to Cape Town’s four million residents. As Dirk’s pictures show, skeletons of fish and muddy pools are much of what remains of the former 480 million cubic metre capacity site. Last week billionaire former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg toured Theewaterskloof as part of his role as UN special Envoy for Climate Action. He warned the reservoir and draught across the Western Cape should act as a wake-up call for the international community on climate change. Despite the drought, which has struck the area for the past few years, government officials in South Africa have been criticised for their handling of the crisis. A ‘Day Zero’ when municipal taps would be turned off has been pushed back from June 4 to July 9 despite chronic shortages continuing. South African Dirk lives just 30 minutes from Theewaterskloof, but said he was stunned by what he found there. He said: “Theewaterskloof dam is one of those places where everybody has a boat and people would go there for the weekend. “A friend of mine used to be a member of the Theewaters sports club, we used to go there all the time water skiing and playing on the water in his boat. “This was a massive, massive body of water. It’s been a few years since last I’ve been there but when I saw it I was shocked to my core. “We all know about the water crisis but standing there and seeing it with your own eyes is so surreal. “I stood on dry ground

  • EXCLUSIVE: Michael Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray is set to cause new anguish for the family of the late singer after giving a shocking new interview about the star’s father Joe Jackson. The disgraced 65-year-old medic - who was found guilty and jailed for the King of Pop’s manslaughter – has made astonishing claims about the family patriarch just over a week after his death. Jackson, who was the brains behind the Jackson 5 group, died in LA on June 27 aged 89 with his wife Katherine by his side. But just days after Joe’s death, Murray unleashed a brutal verbal attack and branded him one of the “worst father’s in history” in a video obtained by US website ‘The Blast’. In other shocking claims he also addressed allegations that pop singer Michael – who died at the age of 50 on June 25, 2009 – was chemically castrated as a child via hormone injections to delay puberty and maintain his high-pitched voice. The former doctor said in the video: “Joe Jackson was one of the worst fathers to his children in history. “The cruelty expressed by Michael that he experienced at the hands of his father, particularly the bad treatment and moreover, the fact that he was chemically castrated to maintain his high pitched voice is beyond words. “I knew and cared for Michael very well and he told me of the many sufferings at the hands of his father that he encountered. “It was dreadful and beyond imagination and words. “I would not shed a single tear for the passing of this cruel and evil man, Joe Jackson. “It is said that only the good die young. I hope Joe Jackson finds redemption in hell.” Michael Jackson was under the care of Murray at the time of his passing in 2009. The doctor was subsequently convicted of involuntary manslaughter and served two years in prison for administering the lethal dose of the powerful anesthetic, propofol, that killed the pop star. In 2010 Joe Jackson filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Murray but later dropped the

  • This video shows the astonishing damage caused to a car after it was broken into by a bear. The terrifying damage was caused by a bear in Colorado, who is well known for a number of previous break-ins. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) posted a video of the car, which had been parked in front of a home in Estes Park, on Friday May 10. The shocking clip, showed the interior of the vehicle had been torn to shreds by the raw power of the hungry bear. The seats had been decimated, the driver side door was also completely destroyed and the ceiling of the car had also been ripped down. Amazingly, the creature was known to authorities and had carried out several similar attacks, nearby. In a statement, CPW said: "'This video from last night's incident shows what can happen to your vehicle if you leave your car doors unlocked. Bears are exceptionally smart, which means us humans have to be exceptionally Bear Smart!". 16 May 2019 Pictured: Damage caused by bear attack. Photo credit: MEGA TheMegaAgency.com +1 888 505 6342

  • EXCLUSIVE: The secret girlfriend of singer Michael Jackson has spoken out ahead of the 10th anniversary of his death and told how she regrets not intervening to get him help for his problems. Shana Mangatal, 48, first met the singer when she was aged 17 and they had a relationship after she began working as a receptionist at the star’s Hollywood management company when in her twenties. She had arranged to see Jackson on Friday, June 26, 2009 - a day after his tragic death - after aides had called her to say Jackson was in trouble. Shana told The Sun: “It was devastating for years after I kept thinking, ‘What if I had gone to see him on Wednesday? Would that have changed anything? “It was a huge shock because I was supposed to go see him that week at rehearsal. That whole week I was preparing to see him. I'd gone to the mall to find an outfit to wear. "And I was trying to think of what to say to him because a couple of the people who were close to him had been calling me frantically, telling me that he was in trouble and he needed help. “One of the people was his nanny and she called me crying one day and begged me to go to rehearsal to go see him and tell him that I was here for him if he needed anything and offer to help with the children. “She really wanted me to go there and offer my help to him because she knew that he needed it but I couldn't think of what to say to him It was going to be hard for me to go to rehearsal and bring this up so I had been procrastinating all week. "I could've gone any day that week but I thought I'll just go on Friday and that will give me time to find the perfect outfit to wear and figure out what to say “Could I have somehow changed the state of mind to make him be able to stay around a little longer? I don't know. I guess we can never know, but part of the thing that haunted me all of these years was that I had an opportunity to see him at least one last time and to possibly help him and I put it off by procrastinat

She had arranged to see Jackson on Friday, June 26, 2009 - a day after his tragic death - after aides had called her to say Jackson was in trouble. Shana told The Sun: “It was devastating for years after I kept thinking, ‘What if I had gone to see him on Wednesday? Would that have changed anything? “It was a huge shock because I was supposed to go see him that week at rehearsal. That whole week I was preparing to see him. I'd gone to the mall to find an outfit to wear. "And I was trying to think of what to say to him because a couple of the people who were close to him had been calling me frantically, telling me that he was in trouble and he needed help. “One of the people was his nanny and she called me crying one day and begged me to go to rehearsal to go see him and tell him that I was here for him if he needed anything and offer to help with the children. “She really wanted me to go there and offer my help to him because she knew that he needed it but I couldn't think of what to say to him It was going to be hard for me to go to rehearsal and bring this up so I had been procrastinating all week. "I could've gone any day that week but I thought I'll just go on Friday and that will give me time to find the perfect outfit to wear and figure out what to say “Could I have somehow changed the state of mind to make him be able to stay around a little longer?

  • EXCLUSIVE: An epic clash of the titans has been caught on camera which saw one angry rhino mum scare off 15 ELEPHANTS Carpenter Martin Meyer was visiting a national park in South Africa when he spotted a rhino mum with her young calf. Martin has been visiting the park for 20 years on and off and often drives there for a ‘builder’s break’ between jobs. But never in all the years he’s been visiting had he seen anything like this before, when one rhino mum faced-off against a whole herd of elephants. Martin’s amazing images were taken around 4.20pm when he came across the brewing confrontation. Martin, who is not naming the park to protect the rhino mother, said: “Armed with an incredibly beautiful horn and her motherly instinct the mother rhino stood her ground and protected the calf, although she was completely outnumbered by the elephants. “A herd of about 15 elephants consisting of a matriarch and a few youngsters and a few sub adult bulls were approaching and going to cross the path of the mum and the calf. “The rhino mum looked intently in their direction and the ellies seemed oblivious to her and the calf and kept encroaching on her personal space. “When they were around 20 metres away from her position she exploded into a sprint with the baby following and ran directly towards the elephants sending them scattering in all directions, with a massive cloud of dust as a result. “After recovering from the initial shock the elephant herd regrouped and aligned themselves next to one another to slowly move closer to the rhino mum, almost taunting her. Some of the young bulls even moved around and circled them from behind.” More than three minutes of stand-off followed as the stare down continued between the rhino mother and the matriarch of the ellies. Martin said: “My adrenaline was pumping and I was holding my breath for what might happen next, my wife always jokes with me that I stop breathing when I see special stuff in the bush. “As the d
