Drone Photo Images of South Africa Reveal The Extreme Separation Between Rich and Poor

The landscape of South Africa clearly displays the lasting legacy of the apartheid, which drastically divided people by race and wealth.

In a series entitled 'Unequal Scenes' Seattle-born photographer, Johnny Miller captured South Africa using a drone's eye view.

While studying in Cape Town the photographer experimented with capturing racism and segregation, which led him to reconsider the urban experience from above. Amongst his collection there are images of Kya Sands in Johannesburg and Papwa Sewgolum Golf Course and Umgeni River in Durban.

Miller writes on his website: 'Discrepancies in how people live are sometimes hard to see from the ground.The beauty of being able to fly is to see things from a new perspective – to see things as they really are.

Who wasn't shocked to learn Wizkid has a new baby yesterday? The star singer and his Guinea-born second babymama, Binta Diamond Diallo welcomed their alleged baby boy, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun Jnr – which is Wizkid’s exact first, middle and last names, a week ago, January 16th, 2016 in the United States.


The pop star, who already has a 4 year old son, Boluwatife with his babymama Shola has however kept mum on the alleged arrival of a second child.

Oscar Pistorius Accused Of 'Tailoring Evidence'

Oscar Pistorius has been accused of "tailoring his evidence" at his murder trial, where he denies murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel repeatedly challenged the Paralympian's account of events while questioning him about whether the alarm in his home was activated on the night he shot Ms Steenkamp.

The confrontation led Pistorius to admit he could be giving inconsistent answers because he was tired - prompting the judge to ask if he was able to continue with his evidence.

Mr Nel also claimed the athlete was lying about an incident when he claims he was shot at while driving on a highway in 2008 or 2009, because he could not remember who he had called for help that night.

Oscar Pistorius: 'If Reeva Had Spoken I Would Not Have Fired'

Oscar Pistorius has told a court he fired his weapon "by accident" after hearing a noise in his bathroom and thinking he was about to be attacked by an intruder.

The court in Pretoria heard the athlete say he fired four shots in quick succession after hearing someone inside the bathroom.

Fighting back tears, the 27-year-old said: "When I heard a noise, I didn't have time to think and I fired my weapon. It was an accident.

"If Reeva had come out or she had spoken to me I wouldn't have fired. The noise coming from the bathroom made me pull the trigger."

During a second day of cross-examination, prosecutor Gerrie Nel claimed Pistorius' version of events on the night of February 13 last year "is a lie" and the barrister accused him of "adapting" events to suit his account.

Oscar Pistorius broke down in court today as he described shooting dead his girlfriend thinking she was an intruder.

His sister Aimee and one of his lawyers then rushed through the courtroom to his side - before the judge was forced to halt proceedings.
The athlete's emotional breakdown failed to move June Steenkamp, Reeva's mother, who stared, stony-faced at the defendant, as he was consoled by family and friends. More after the jump:

Oscar Pistorius Murder Trial: Accused Murderer Weeps As Doctor Recalls Graphic Details About Reeva Steenkamp Post-Shooting

Oscar Pistorius broke down and wept during the fourth day of his murder trial in South Africa‘s Pretoria Magistrate’s Court Thursday, as a neighbor delved into the gory details of his late girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp‘s death, and we’ve got all the info for you right here on RadarOnline.com.

Pistorius trembled and, at times, covered his ears as Dr. Johan Stipp recalled the blow-by-blow events in the moments after the double-amputee Olympic runner shot Steenkamp Feb. 14, 2013.

Stipp, a radiologist, said he heard the shots fired and approached the home, where “at the bottom of the stairs … there was a lady lying on her back on the floor.”

Stipp said Pistorius told him, “I shot her … I thought she was a burglar … I shot her.”

Pistorius Trial: Reeva 'Couldn't Have Screamed'

On an emotional day in court, Pistorius' lawyer says the shot to his girlfriend's head would have caused significant brain damage. 

Neighbour Michelle Burger, who says she heard Ms Steenkamp being killed by Pistorius, was grilled by the athlete's defence team on the second day of the trial.

She told the packed courtroom in South Africa's administrative capital Pretoria she heard a woman screaming after shots were fired in Pistorius' residence.

Oscar Pistorius' defence team has said claims by a neighbour that she heard Reeva Steenkamp scream after she had been shot multiple times will be thrown into doubt by expert evidence.

Oscar Pistorius Murder Trial WILL Be Televised - But Judge Bans Close Ups & Recording Private Conversations

Oscar Pistorius' trial for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp WILL be televised, a South African judge has ruled. The Blade Runner's legal team had made an application to have the media barred from proceedings arguing it would prevent him having a fair trial. But today judge Dunstan Mlambo ruled to allow limited TV coverage of the case which is due to begin on March 3.

The double-amputee Olympian, 27, shot and killed his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, in a Valentine’s Day horror at his home in Pretoria, South Africa, last year.

Pistorius denies murder and says he shot her through a toilet door in self defence after mistaking his 29-year-old girlfriend for an intruder.
