Kingston Lies About Throwing $3 000 To Fans
HARARE, April 24, 2011- Jamaican rapper Sean Kingston who already has a frosty relationship with Zimbabwean journalists lied to the world on his Facebook page that he threw $3 000 to people who attended his show at the Celebration Centre on Friday and at the Glamis arena on Saturday.
“ I love my fans in Africa.I just threw $3 000 in the crowd –I love to give back man, best feeling ever,” says his Facebook page.
However according to fans who attended both the Friday and Saturday shows nothing of that sort happened.
“ I did not see any money. What the hell is the guy talking about. I can just tell you that the show was a boring performance, ” said Davis Takuneni, one of the fans who attended both shows.
Many journalists who attended also concurred and complained on Facebook about the rapper’s open lies.The show started well with the rapper belting some of his plug tracks like, beautiful girls but fizzled out as the show progressed.Clint Robinson, the CEO of C&A Entertainment, the organisers of the show was defensive: “ The way these musicians play in the US is different from the way we want it here. There was nothing wrong in the way he played. It was not a bad show in all counts. ”
The 20-year-old Kingston played backtracks and did not bring a live band.Kennedy Mutizira said: “ We were simply robbed. These artists should never take us for granted when they come here. We know what we want.”
Kingston arrived in the country on Thursday night and had a bad start with journalists and fans as he snubbed them on arrival at Harare International Airport.Kingston is expected to stage another show in Malawi.
COBRA YUH DID FRAID?
Court acquits man accused of shooting Mad Cobra
Tuesday, May 10, 2011
TWENTY-three-old Jameel Johnson was last Thursday acquitted in the High Court Division of the Gun Court of the shooting and injuring of local dancehall artiste Mad Cobra.
Johnson was cleared of the charges of illegal possession of a firearm and shooting with intent after the crown offered no evidence against him. The Crown was unable to establish a link between Johnson and the shooting incident.
The unemployed Johnson of a Portmore, St Catherine address was arrested in June last year following the May 11 shooting of Mad Cobra, whose given name is Ewart Brown.
It had been alleged that Johnson, also known as ‘Spragga’, was among a group of men in Braeton, St Catherine, involved in the incident in which the entertainer was shot several times. He was offered $150,000 bail pending his trial.
Cobra was unable to say with certainty who had fired upon him.
Thursday, attorney Chris Tavares-Finson told the Observer that he was “happy with the outcome” of the case. “It was clear from the very start that the prosecution would have had a difficulty in creating a nexus between my client and the actual incident,” he said.
GOODMORNING
A psalm of David.
1 LORD, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
2 The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
3 whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the LORD;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things
will never be shaken.
WEEPING & MOANING
11,000 public sector jobs to go
Golding made the announcement today in his Budget presentation in Parliament today.
Golding defended the decision by saying that this action among others will result in savings of $40-50 billion dollars.
“These savings will come primarily from staff reduction and the disposal of assets arising from the privatization and outsourcing of certain functions. Even greater benefit is expected from improved efficiency and productivity,” Golding said.
Tune in to Power106FM at 5:00 p.m for details on Golding’s presentation.

The St Thomas police are now searching for a student who was one of four boys accused of severely beating a male teacher at a high school in the parish on Teachers’ Day.
The attack has caused members of the teaching profession to express concern about the attack on their colleague.
“This is what the teaching profession has become. On a day when you should be pampered, you are the victim of those we teach,” a teacher told THE WEEKEND STAR.
Reports are that on Wednesday, about 3 p.m., a Teachers’ Day function was held at the institution.
After the function, a request was made that the students return the chairs to the classrooms.
It is said, however, the students instead tried to leave the room but were prevented from doing so by the male teacher.
Reports are that the students became disgruntled and attacked him hitting him all over his body. The teacher is said to have had to seek medical attention.
A report was also made to the police and three of the boys were arrested and slapped with wounding and assault charges.
When THE WEEKEND STAR contacted the director of communication in the Ministry of Education, Colin Blair, he said they are aware of the incident and an investigation is under way.
In January, a fight at the institution resulted in the wounding of three boys. The case is still before the court.
