In a bizarre burglary incident, suspected thieves reportedly helped themselves to chicken and cool drinks during a house break-in on Saunders Circle in Tongaat, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
According to Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA), officers responded on Thursday afternoon, October 30, 2025, after receiving reports of the burglary.
On arrival, they discovered that the suspects had forced open the rear door and burglar gate to gain entry into the home. The property was ransacked, and valuables including a flat-screen television, an air fryer, and cash were stolen.

The case is currently under investigation.
In other news…. John Ameh, the elder brother of the late Ochanya Elizabeth Ogbanje, has spoken out in an emotional interview, calling for renewed efforts to secure justice for his sister.
During a recent appearance on Channels TV, Ameh revealed that his family has been emotionally overwhelmed since public attention on Ochanya’s case resurfaced.
He described the renewed focus as “traumatising”, saying it had reopened painful memories of his sister’s ordeal and untimely death.
“It’s traumatising. I mean, we’ve been retraumatised with the renewed call for justice in Ochanya’s case. However, it’s a bit soothing with the support from Nigerians across diverse backgrounds. I’ve been inundated with calls from many Nigerians. It’s been really difficult for us as a family. It’s been a challenging time for us again, having to relive the sudden circumstances that led to Ochanya’s demise,” he said.
Expressing his frustration, Ameh lamented what he sees as inequality in Nigeria’s justice system, which, according to him, works faster for the rich and influential than for ordinary citizens.
“Just think about it, if she were the daughter of a prominent person and elite, would this be happening to her? Would this be happening to us as a family? Certainly not. Certainly not,” he stated.
He added that Ochanya’s death had exposed how social and economic inequality continues to affect access to justice in the country.
The grieving brother made a passionate appeal to the President, First Lady, and Inspector General of Police (IGP) to ensure that everyone involved in his sister’s suffering and death is held accountable.
“And it is unfortunate if the Inspector General of Police, including the First Lady of Nigeria and the President if they really are in charge of this country they must find these people and bring them to justice, no matter how long it takes,” John said.
He stressed that no matter how much time has passed, those responsible should face the full weight of the law. According to him, true leadership is demonstrated when justice is served for the vulnerable, not only the privileged.
Despite the emotional pain of reliving the past, Ameh said the support from Nigerians has given his family some comfort and hope.
“It’s a bit soothing with the support from Nigerians across diverse backgrounds. I’ve been inundated with calls from many Nigerians,” he noted, expressing gratitude to everyone who has continued to stand by them in their pursuit of justice.
