| Zuma wants action on Aids and crime
They're accused of stabbing Mfundo Ntshangase to death in September this year at a house party in Randburg.
With cameras clicking feverishly as six of the accused left the court, there's clearly still a lot of attention being given to this case.
Inside court six of the boys nervously took their places in the dock. The seventh accused soon joined them after being led up from the holding cells.
He's been in custody ever since his arrest. The 17-year-old is said to be the one who actually stabbed Ntshangase.
The case has been postponed to the 8th of February, it's hoped a trial date will then be set.
Once proceedings were concluded, the mother of the boy still in custody watched her son being taken back to the cells where he'll probably spend Christmas.

Boleche Minks, 29, was sentenced Monday by U.S. District Judge James Ware in San Jose. Minks pleaded guilty before Ware in December 2004 to one count of identity theft. .
Ofcom may control Sky platform prices
The move could potentially save millions of pounds for rival broadcasters such as ITV, five and Channel 4. ITV has long complained about the £17m (E24.6m) a year it pays for its channels to be available on the platform.
Looking ahead, with the auction under way for rights to screen Premiership football, the amount that any successful bidder would have to pay to be aired on Sky could be a crucial factor in their business model. Ofcom is drawing up new rules for determining Sky's charges, to make sure they are "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory". Its conclusions, expected soon, will set much tighter parameters for the charges, claim reports.
Under the current guidelines, Sky is allowed to levy a charge that can range from the incremental cost of carrying an additional channel - perhaps a few tens of thousands of pounds a year - to a sum equivalent to that channel having to replicate the satellite distribution system itself - which would amount to tens or hundreds of millions of pounds.

Border fails the test of undercover U.S. investigators
KUDOS goes out to the border guards both in Canada and the USA because they are the ones pulling out their hair trying to stop all the garbage trying to enter their countries. By the way...>Canada isn't so easy to work with since someone decided to enact a little known part of Section 107 of the freedom of information Act. Yep.....even law enforcement agencies in Canada find it hard to divulge any info to each other without jumping leaps and bounds like puppets trying to go thru the proper channels to do so. .
