South Africa fires up world’s biggest braai in bid for Guinness record
South Africa brought thousands of people together at Pretoria’s Loftus Versfeld Stadium on 24 September 2026 in a bid to reclaim the Guinness World Records title for the most people barbecuing simultaneously.
A Nigerian man, Olatunde Olaleye, 40, a father of two from Ikere-Ekiti, was fatally shot in Pretoria, South Africa on September 21, according to the Nigerian Union in South Africa (NUSA). The incident occurred at Spanata Bar and Grills in Mamelodi, after an argument over whether a glass could be taken outside the establishment. NUSA President-General, Smart Nwobi, stated that the circumstances were troubling, especially given the series of recent deaths of Nigerians in the country.
The suspect reportedly returned to the bar after the shooting and threatened the management, warning that members of his group would return. NUSA has called for a transparent and impartial investigation into Olaleye's death and for the Nigerian diplomatic mission in South Africa to work with local authorities to seek justice and enhance protection for Nigerians in the country.
