South African Triple Platinum Selling Artist Arrested For Robbery

A South African triple Platinum selling artist, Nathi Mankayi has appeared at the Alex Magistrate court today following his arrest on Monday on robbery allegations.

Mankayi had allegedly committed a robbery with two of his friends last year at the offices of China Mpololo.

According to SowetanLive, the station's spokesperson, Capt Molefe Mogodi confirmed that Mankayi appeared in court in connection with business robbery.

The trio apparently went to Mpololo's offices where they allegedly took laptops, landline phones, printers and cellphones.

“Sources” told The Sowetan that issues started when Mankayi’s manager cut ties with him and the decision did not sit well with the award-winning artist.

He allegedly took his friends with him to his former boss’ offices “to teach him a lesson” and allegedly took laptops, landline phones, printers, and cellphones.

The items were recovered by police and given back to the owner.

Worthy of note: Before his fame, he was arrested following a robbery and served time before he was released for good behaviour.

The image shows an intensely bright "ring of fire", as Prof Falcke describes it, surrounding a perfectly circular dark hole. The bright halo is caused by superheated gas falling into the hole. The light is brighter than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy combined - which is why it can be seen at such distance from Earth.

The edge of the dark circle at the centre is the point at which the gas enters the black hole, which is an object that has such a large gravitational pull, not even light can escape.
