Making supper, washing dishes, cleaning, washing clothes....guess mothers day is over.  Ha ha ha, ok thats bordering on hysterical laughter.  I think if I had realised the amount of time needed to do this project I may have thought twice, it seems so easy to say I'll paint one little painting a day....how hard can that be?  Insert hysterical laughter.

A State witness told the Phalaborwa Circuit Court on Monday that two men, accused of planning to bomb ANC leaders' homes and terrorise townships, recruited him into their operation, the SABC reported.

Testifying on the first day of the trial, Dirkie Breytenbach identified the two as being among the three accused sitting in the dock.

Breytenbach, who was one of two accused that turned State witness, explained that “Operation Petshop” was designed to attack black people in and around Phalaborwa.

The three accused, Georgios Kiratzidis, 21, Martinus Vorster, 19, and Ruan Louw, 21, allegedly planned to bomb homes of ANC leaders, buses transporting blacks and plant bombs in townships.
