 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair. In sentencing, the court ordered that the couple be taken to the Plumtree Border Post for deportation to Zimbabwe.  Top Botswana lawyer Winnie Masitha who offered the couple free legal representation during the trial, confirmed the deportation to BTV News.

LIZZO HAS FILED AN APPEAL CLAIMING THAT THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY HER FORMER BACKUP DANCERS IS ACTUALLY AN ATTACK ON HER FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND BODY POSITIVITY ADVOCACY.(PHOTO).

 Lizzo is taking her legal battle to the next level with a bold new strategy. The Grammy winner has filed an appeal claiming that the sexual harassment lawsuit brought by her former backup dancers is actually an attack on her First Amendment rights to artistic expression and body positivity advocacy.

 

 The case stems from allegations including a controversial incident where dancers claim they were pressured to attend a sex show in Amsterdam's Red Light District. However, Lizzo's legal team, led by prominent Hollywood attorney Marty Singer, argues this was an optional team-building exercise that was part of her creative process - and therefore protected under free speech laws.


A judge previously dismissed some claims, including fat-shaming allegations, but allowed the core harassment accusations to proceed toward trial. Now Lizzo's team is asking an appeals court to throw out the entire case, arguing that judges shouldn't be "dissecting the creative process" of artists.


The dancers' attorney fired back, stating they "stand by the claims" and look forward to proving their case in court. This high-profile battle raises fascinating questions about the boundaries between artistic freedom and workplace harassment.
