South African technology company Tellumat has opened a fully modernised electronics factory in Atlantis north of Cape Town, following a multi-million rand investment supported by the Department of Trade. South Africa now doesn't have to rely on outside resources for electronics. This will cost less and strengthen their economy. According to Tellumat CEO Rasheed Hargey, the factory was modernised with new production equipment in 2012, enabling it to produce electronics for brands such as Sony, Mecer and HiSense.

South Africa Police Drag

Eight South African Policemen were caught dragging a taxi driver by there police van. The eight officers were charged with murder on Friday, three days after the fatal incident.
They did not appear in court on Monday. A formal bail application is expected to be filed on Friday.
Mr Macia,  the taxi driver, was reportedly detained for parking his vehicle in a way that blocked traffic.
The video, recorded by a bystander on a mobile phone, shows a large crowd watching as policemen tied him to the van, dragging him as they drove away. The police force was already under intense investigation after officers shot dead 34 striking miners last August.
In the past few months, many incidents that involve the police have occurred. Many companies, including ones in the USA, may see this as bad security in South Africa which could cause less companies to want to ship their products into the country.

South African police open fire

South African police opened fire Thursday on a crowd of striking miners that charged a line of officers trying to disperse them, killing some and wounding others. The police state that the miners opened fire on the police first with the guns they stole from the police earlier that week.
Police declined to offer casualty figures after the shooting at the Lonmin PLC mine near Marikana, a town about 40 miles northwest of Johannesburg. However, police ministry spokesman Zweli Mnisi said late Thursday some of the miners there had been killed as more police and soldiers surrounded the hostels and shacks near Lonmin's shuttered platinum mine.
