 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.

JOHNNY CASH ESTATE FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST COCA-COLA OVER AD. (PHOTO).


Johnny Cash estate files lawsuit against Coca-Cola over ad

Johnny Cash’s estate has filed a lawsuit against Coca-Cola, alleging the company used a pirated version of the late singer’s iconic voice in a national advertising campaign.

The lawsuit claims Cash “has one of the most legendary and distinctive voices in the history of music” and that Coca-Cola exploited it in its “Fan Work Is Thirsty Work” campaign for the 2025 NCAA college football season to boost sales. According to the estate, the ad featured a vocal track that sounded “remarkably like the Voice of Johnny Cash,” despite the singer having passed away in 2003.

The estate invokes the recently passed ELVIS Act, which protects artists from unauthorized commercial use of their voice and AI-generated recreations. Since Cash’s death, his voice has only been licensed twice, both times for Super Bowl advertisements. The lawsuit alleges that Coca-Cola hired an advertising agency, which in turn used a tribute singer to mimic Cash’s bass-baritone, misleading viewers into thinking it was the singer’s actual voice. The tribute singer reportedly stated on social media that the campaign aimed to “draw upon the goodwill associated with the Voice of Johnny Cash.”

The estate contends that Coca-Cola’s actions were intentional, fraudulent, malicious, and/or reckless, with damages estimated at more than $75,000. The lawsuit seeks a jury trial and compensatory damages to be determined in court. Coca-Cola has not immediately commented on the suit.
