This sounds strange and embarrassing

The lady who is a former member and elder at The Synagogue has of late been on a number of Local FM stations threatening to reveal the dirt she claims to know surrounding the pastor's church and his operations. She has given the pastor an ultimatum in which he should either apologise to her for the alleged mistreatment and humiliation she suffered while at his church or she would propose to make public the unsavoury details of the said pastor's alleged dirty ways.

Job for sale in the police?
A number of candidates who applied for jobs as police cadets are cursing the level of corruption in this country.
Grapevine has been told by hurt, frustrated and disconsolate prospective applicants that the jobs were for sale; and that those who had no money or proper connections never made it. It is not exactly clear who was being paid to hand out the jobs, though. Worse still, every candidate was seriously scrutinised just to be sure that those who do not support the NRM were not recruited.

In fact internal security and military intelligence were specifically drafted in to conduct background research on the candidates. Persons with even a slightest of opposition leaning tendencies, even mere suspicions of that possibility lost the opportunity to serve and to protect.

At the village level, Grapevine has learnt that the GISOs (Gombolola Internal Security Officers) were in charge of screening the applicants. Tells you something about the prosperity-for-all slogan and other such sounding nationalist policy pronouncements, doesn't it?

Garang 'rests in peace'
Whispers in the corridors of power have it that the government has most probably given up on its own much-touted investigations into the cause of the July 2005 helicopter crash, which led to the death of Dr John Garanga, former leader of Sudanese People's Liberation Army/Movement.
