 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. Masitha believed that the matter should not be viewed only through the lens of crim...

Oscar-winning Irish actress Brenda Fricker dies at 81


Brenda Fricker, the first Irish woman to win an Academy Award, has died at the age of 81 following a period of ill health.

Fricker earned the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1990 for her performance as Bridget Fagan Brown in the acclaimed 1989 film "My Left Foot," portraying the devoted mother of writer and painter Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy. Daniel Day-Lewis, who starred as Brown, won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the same film.

Director Jim Sheridan remembered Fricker as a remarkable actress with a powerful personality, describing her as passionate about every aspect of life while also being warm, funny and deeply talented.

Following her Oscar victory, Fricker said she was shocked to receive the award, admitting she never believed it was possible. During her acceptance speech, she thanked Christy Brown for inspiring the film and paid tribute to his mother. In later years, she often joked that the Oscar eventually served as a doorstop in her home and acknowledged that the award led to her being frequently cast in motherly roles.

Over a career spanning six decades, Fricker appeared in more than 90 film and television productions. She became widely recognized by audiences for playing the compassionate "Pigeon Lady" in the 1992 holiday classic "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York." She also appeared in the original cast of the BBC medical drama "Casualty" and starred alongside Cate Blanchett in "Veronica Guerin."

Her agent praised Fricker as a one-of-a-kind talent whose impact on film and television would never be forgotten, saying she held a special place in the hearts of fans around the world.

Born in Dublin in 1945, Fricker was honored earlier this year with the Freedom of the City, one of Dublin's highest distinctions.

In her 2025 autobiography, "She Died Young: A Life in Fragments," Fricker reflected on both joyful childhood memories and the personal hardships she endured, including surviving sexual violence, struggles with mental health and multiple miscarriages that contributed to years of depression.

Ireland's deputy prime minister described Fricker as a national treasure and one of the country's greatest artistic ambassadors, saying her legacy would endure for generations. Fricker was married to director Barry Davies from 1979 until their divorce in 1988.
