  Viola Davis Rejects Target’s Apology Over “Blackface” Halloween Costume Viola Davis has rejected Target’s apology after the retailer pulled a controversial kids’ Halloween costume that critics said evoked racist minstrel and blackface imagery. Target removed the $25 "Kids' Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown" costume from its Hyde and EEK!

 Bank Manager and Two Tellers in Court for R3.9 Million Embezzlement in Mpumalanga


What initially appeared to be a good year in August 2016 turned into a nightmare for clients after a bank manager and two tellers allegedly embezzled R3,950,941 through unauthorised transactions from customers’ accounts.


A year later, in 2017, the Hawks’ Nelspruit-based Serious Commercial Crime Investigation unit closed in on the trio, who were subsequently arrested for fraud, theft, and contravention of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act. They were later released on bail pending further investigations.


On Monday, 04 September 2025, one of the accused, teller Bonginkosi Praise Khoza, pleaded guilty to all charges and was found guilty. He is expected to be sentenced on 13 November 2025. Meanwhile, alleged bank manager Selby Khoza and teller Winny Mashaba have maintained their innocence. Their bail has been extended, and they are expected to appear alongside Khoza during his sentencing.
