The EFF says no amount of violence will deter them

Nigerian schoolgirl rescued after two years as Boko Haram captive.

And, Tshwane takes name change battle to ConCourt. 

 

Despite a looming threat of criminal charges against its MPs the Economic Freedom Fighters has vowed to continue disrupting Parliament until President Jacob Zuma is held accountable for breaking his oath of office.

National spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said the EFF had stood up on all the occasions that Zuma was present in the National Assembly to make their point.

Ndlozi said when ordinary South Africans broke their contractual obligations with their employers they were either held accountable or fired. He added that the same should apply to Zuma.

 

A Nigerian teenager kidnapped by Boko Haram more than two years ago has been rescued.

She is the first of more than 200 girls seized in a raid on their school in Chibok town to return from captivity in the insurgents' forest lair, officials said yesterday. 

Army spokesperson Sani Usman said soldiers rescued the girl near Damboa, without giving details while a parents' association said she had been found by a vigilante group.

She revealed that her schoolmates were still in the Sambisa forest, Boko Haram's biggest stronghold in the remote north.

Boko Haram captured a total of 276 girls from their school in Chibok, northeast Nigeria, in April 2014, part of a seven-year-old insurgency to set up an Islamic state in the north which had killed some 15 000 people and displaced more than 2-million.

 

The City of Tshwane will today ask the Constitutional Court for leave to appeal a high court ruling that it had to stop removing Pretoria’s old street names.

On June 2, 2015, the High Court in Pretoria denied the city leave to appeal a judgment it handed down on April 19, 2013.

In the 2013 judgment, the city was ordered to stop removing the names and replace the ones it had already removed.
