OSCARPISTORIOUS'S HOUSE AND THE FATAL SHOOTING.

In the first half of the morning session damning allegations surfaced that the police and prosecution say undermine his defence, but after a recess his defence team fire tough questions at the main witness, chief investigative officer Hilton Botha.

As the prosecution began setting out its case on Wednesday, they claimed a witness heard gunshots, saw the lights on, heard 'a female screaming' and then more shots.Mr Botha - the first officer on the scene - told the packed court a separate witness said they heard an hour-long fight between 2.am and 3.am before the sound of gunshots rang out.

Earlier Mr Botha said he arrived at the upscale Pretoria house at about 4.15am last Thursday and the 29-year-old model had already been declared dead - 'she had on white shorts and black vest. She was covered in towels.'


Pistorius, who underwent below-the-knee amputations when he was 11 months old, said he shot through the toilet cubicle door while on his stumps but the court heard the bullets' trajectory was through the top of the door.
Mr Botha said he believed the bullets were fired down, suggesting that Pistorius was wearing his prosthetic legs when the shots were discharged.
Lawyers and police studied plans of the bedroom and bathroom - a projector was used to beam the plans up for the public and press to see.
Gerrie Nel, the chief prosecutor asked Mr Botha if the shots were fired directly at the toilet basin and he agreed.

'If you fire straight at the door, you miss the toilet,' he explained.
Police believe a cricket bat found in the bathroom was used to break down the door to the toilet - part of the door was lying in the bathroom. One bullet cartridge was found outside bathroom while three others were inside.
On the shower mat in the en-suite bathroom lay a firearm and an iPhone 4 and iPhone - there was blood spatters on one of the phones.
Mr Botha said four phones in total were found in the athlete's home and none of them had been used to call emergency services.

The court also heard that two boxes of testosterone and needles were found in Pistorius' bedroom. where they also found an overnight bag was on a couch on the left hand side of the bed as well as slippers.
Mr Botha said he wanted Pistorius charged additionally with a weapons violation after unlicensed .38 calibre ammunition was found in the athlete's bedroom safe - though the defence later claimed the ammunition belonged to the athlete's father Henke.

Pistorius has said he had been a victim of crime and received death threats, but today the court heard there were no records of this.
The athlete made notes with a silver pen as the case progressed.
Mr Botha said there was 'no way' he believed Pistorius's version of events.
He said he believed Pistorius, who won two gold medals and a silver at London’s 2012 Paralympic Games, was a flight risk and he was opposing bail.

He told the court Pistorius has offshore accounts and a property in Italy - which was later disputed by Pistorius' team - and said that he saw the runner's family looking for documents and a specific memory stick with details of offshore accounts.
Discussing extradition he said: 'We don't want another Dewani to happen. We're still waiting to get him back in the country.'

He was referring to Shrien Dewani who is wanted in South Africa over the honeymoon murder of his wife in November 2010, but is now fighting extradition in Britain.

Today details were released of a row he allegedly had with a man over a girl at Kyalami racetrack where Pistorius allegedly threatened to "f*** up" the rival.
It was also claimed he was involved in another shooting at a restaurant in Johannesburg in January and asked the gun owner to take responsibility for the incident.

The defence will have to prove the extenuating circumstances that would justify granting bail so Pistorius will be free until the trial starts.
It is not expected to begin for at least four months - it would be heard by a judge sitting alongside two assessors – typically magistrates or retired magistrates - as the South Africa legal system does not have a jury system. (Daily Mail UK)

ECOWAS APPROVES A FASHION WEEK FOR ECOWAS REGION AND THEY MEAN BUSINESS.

Africa has come of age and fashion has become an integral part of this great continent,however,most fashion events were mere shows and this trend is fast changing.
With the whole world making so much money from clothing and the fact that South Africa still  remains the only outlet to world class fashion weeks with buyers ,world class models, and great production crew,certain group of people from the ecowas region got together to start preparation for what is now set to be one of the biggest fashion weeks in the world.

There is no doubt that fashion contributes to every economy of the world.The fashion industry contributes 25percent to the US economy.In the UK,fashion contributes almost 21 billion pounds to the British economy.In Africa,there is no record to the contribution.Moreover,it a known fact that fashion has come to stay.In testimony whereof,ankara and other local fabrics are now used in the production of clothing ,bags ,shoes and other accessories worldwide.
ECOWAS FASHION WEEK is an idea whose time has come and we must give credit to those behind this great venture.
The  president of ECOWAS His Execellency Kadre Desire Quedraogo from Bukina Faso has a vision and when he took over he made it clear that his tunure will focus on sme's and the youth who are the life wire of any great economy.
With this fashion week,organisers are looking forward to put our youth to work through out the ecowas region thereby preventing these urge by youth to go to western world even if they die doing it.
The recent death of an ivorian youth who set himself on fire in  paris is a terrible reminder of why we must by any means neccessary fix the African continent.
However,we hope to set up industries that can give room to mass production of these items and have them sold in shops all over the world.
Recently the fahion industry in Ghana got a boost from the swiss government with the some of 3.5 million dollars.Which way Africa?Ecowas the time is now.
Designers are already registering for the fashion week and the EFW team will soon start going from one ecowas country to the other to meet models and designers.

•Video: Switzerland $3.5mil Grant Will Send Young Ghanaian Designers To Rome’s AltaRoma Show.NOW GHANA TAKES THE LEAD WITHIN THE ECOWAS REGION.STORY BY www.fashionghana.com

Simonetta Gianfelici Speaks to FAT Ghana

FATGhana, which stands for Fashion Amalgamated Talent Ghana, is sending young designers to the AltaRoma fashion show based in Rome for 2013 July. The show will also feature known designers such as Stella Jean, San Andres and Suzanne Susceptible. The designers involved are upcoming and young designers, some of which we have only just heard off. See the video and continue reading below.

FAT is an association driven by young designers, working through a Product Development Centre under the supervision of an accomplished fashion designer (Mr. Kofi Ansah), designated as International Trade Centre/ITC’s Creative Director for Ghana in order to lead collaborative product development, and facilitate inter mediation with international and regional buyers, and provide an industry focal point for coordinating ITC support. As stated by the group

Not long ago you might have read on fashionGHANA.com the article ‘Breaking News: Switzerland Grants $3.5mil to Ghana’s Fashion Industry’, well this seems to be one amazing initiative of where this money is going to.

Simonetta Gianfelici, Student of FAT Ghana & Kofi Ansah

We wish the designers good luck on their journey, but moreover, it would be good to trail the success of the designers to see if there are any long term benefits due to a large some of money going into foreign shows. At least my curiosity of what happened to this money, or some of the money, is answered with compliments. We hope there are other initiatives that hold benefits for Ghana on a more general and institutionalized manner as to where designer platforms are concerned.
