Arrest warrant issued for accountant in N$2.2m fraud case

UPDATE: A warrant for arrest has been issued for accountant Michael Bronkhorst in a matter in which he is accused of defrauding a certain Mariette Coffee-Lind of N$2.2 million. The arrest warrant was issued today in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court after Bronkhorst failed to appear. It is alleged that during March 2024, in the Khomas-Windhoek district, Bronkhorst provided his own account number while pretending it belonged to Momentum, thereby accepting clients’ money for his own use. This is not Bronkhorst’s first tango with the law, as he is also accused in another matter of defrauding the investment company Petrichor Capital of N$103 million by creating fake loan agreements on behalf of clients who were policyholders.

A Socialist New York Would Weaken Us All

“Together, we can tax the rich, heal the sick, house the poor, defund the police & build a socialist New York,” Zohran Mamdani tweeted in 2020. On his current mayoral campaign website, he calls for shifting the city’s tax burden to “richer and whiter neighborhoods.” These aren’t slip-ups or stray remarks. They are at the heart of his campaign for mayor of New York City this November. And if he wins, the fallout won’t just be felt here. It will ripple far beyond the five boroughs, dragging down not only New York but the nation as well. I know a lot of Americans will shrug and say: “Well, New Yorkers get what they deserve.” I get that reaction. I really do. Everyone has seen the footage of the spoiled brats at Columbia University taking over buildings and shouting in the faces of cops and thought these idiots should be put on a slow boat to Venezuela or some other socialist paradise. But those people aren’t the ones who will bear the brunt of Mamdani’s experiment. Most of them aren’t even native New Yorkers. They’re mostly shipped in from leafy suburbs that are glad to get rid of them. The real casualties will be New York’s middle class— the cops, firefighters, and nurses who hold this city together. My own family is full of them. I was born in the Bronx surrounded by firefighters and police officers who worked brutal shifts and risked their lives every day for their neighbors. These men and women aren’t radicals. They’re the ones who keep the city running and they’re the ones who will get squeezed the hardest. Mamdani’s platform is as destructive as it is delusional: $10 billion in new taxes on high earners and businesses, a $30-an-hour minimum wage by 2030, rent freezes, so-called “free” buses, so-called “free” childcare, and even city-owned grocery stores. This isn’t some bold new vision. It’s the same tired socialism that has failed everywhere it’s been tried. And just like everywhere else, it risks hollowing out the very tax base that pays for everything else. Here’s the thing: the top 1% of New Yorkers, those making around $800,000 and up, pay nearly half the city’s income taxes, per the 2023 NYC Independent Budget Office. If just 2% of them leave, the city could lose $5–10 billion every year hedge fund manager Bill Ackman estimates. Who makes up the difference? Not the wealthy, who can relocate to Florida or Texas with ease. Not the poorest, who qualify for welfare and public housing. The burden falls squarely on the middle class. On the firefighters, cops, nurses, and small business owners who can’t simply pack up and leave. And when the city runs short? It’s not Mamdani’s leftist base that suffers most. It’s working families. But the danger doesn’t stop at the five boroughs. New York isn’t just any city. It’s America’s economic engine, producing $1.1 trillion in GDP last year alone. The city is also a cultural beacon. The skyline, Broadway, the Met, the museums, the energy that has always stood as a symbol of American ambition. If Mamdani’s socialist experiment drives away wealth and enterprise, New York could spiral into decline. Businesses will fail, jobs will disappear, the economy will shrink, and America will lose far more than tax revenue. We’ll lose a piece of our national identity. A city that once represented freedom and opportunity will become a cautionary tale about what happens when ideology trumps reality. There’s a better path. New York doesn’t need to punish success to support its workers. It needs leadership that understands wealth isn’t the enemy. It’s the engine of opportunity. Smart tax policies, incentives for businesses, and targeted relief for the middle class can keep the city both compassionate and competitive. Because if New York falls, it won’t just be New Yorkers who suffer. We will all be worse off. And as someone whose family has given their lives and labor to this city, I can tell you: We can’t afford to let that happen. Punishing success punishes everyone. Mamdani’s vision might appeal to radicals who think money grows on trees. But for the middle class that actually makes the city run, it’s a disaster. And for the country, it’s a warning. If America’s greatest city falls to socialist decline, nobody wins. We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.

Diwali plans flopped? 8 ways to turn it into a win

Sigh. It stings. That last message saying ‘So sorry….’ really makes you gnash your teeth. After all, you spent weeks designing invites, thinking of playlists, looking at fairy lights in markets and building sweet towers. But, everyone bailed.I can tell you from rather brutal experience, that yes, you do overcome the misery of it all. After you allow yourself to wallow in a little sadness, you start looking around for lights and finding joy. (I’m not going to lecture you about life’s little things, I know some of you will throw slippers at me). But what I tried to do on one particular Diwali when people had to cancel…was, celebrate anyway.You love the festival. You go for it. .Biggest Diwali makeup blunders revealed and how to get festive glow that works in Dubai weather.Step 1: Go back to focusing on turning your home into a fairylandWho says your apartment can’t be a palace? Light all the diyas you bought, string up fairy lights, and scatter candles around like confetti. Bonus points for glitter—because if it’s Diwali, sparkle is mandatory. Your home is stunning, and Instagram will never forgive you if you don’t document it..Step 2: How about a little cooking?It was my first and only attempt at kheer, but I managed. So, if you have a ladoo mix you bought with dreams of impressing everyone, or that half-baked gulab jamun that didn’t make it to the party, it’s Time to go rogue. Try a new recipe, or just perfect the old one. Extra syrup, extra cardamom, all yours.Test responsibly, obviously. And if your culinary experiments fail? Well… more for you..Step 3: A dance partyDance solo or grab that one person who is still willing to make the distance. Bollywood bangers, bhangra beats, and a little Desi pop—crank it up. Nobody’s judging your shimmy, your freestyle spins, or the dramatic “slow-mo dance walk across the living room” moment.Step 4: Dress up, even if it’s just for youWearing that eyeliner, dotting the bindi and lining your lips really makes a difference. Drape that saree, lehenga or kurta that you bought for the party. Now’s your moment. Just because it’s solo doesn’t mean you can’t feel fabulous. Pair it with bold earrings, a glittery bindi, and maybe a hint of perfume..Step 5: Movie timeIf music isn’t enough, it’s time for a movie binge. From Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham to quirky Diwali specials, your living room is now a cinema. Dim the lights (or don’t—your fairy lights do the job), grab your plate of sweets, and settle in. Bonus points for commentary: whisper dramatic dialogues to your snacks for full immersive fun.Step 6: Connect virtuallyTechnology exists for a reason. Zoom your friends for a mini celebration, start a WhatsApp Diwali group, or FaceTime a relative. Light a candle together, exchange quick laughs, or even compete in a “best outfit” contest. The energy multiplies, even if the room is technically empty.. Step 7: Reflect and rechargeDiwali is also about light in your soul, not just in your home. Light a diya, sip chai, reflect on the year, and maybe jot down some intentions for the next one. Treat it as a day to recharge, because celebrating yourself is never a bad idea.Step 8: Remember, solo doesn’t mean sadAnd if you're alone, it doesn't mean lonely. Diwali is about joy, celebration, and best food—whether shared with twenty friends or just yourself. The sweets are sweeter when you truly savor them, the lights shine brighter when you appreciate them quietly, and the music is louder when you belt out those Bollywood hits with abandon.So yes, your Diwali party may have been canceled. But with the right mindset, a sprinkle of creativity, and a touch of sass, it can turn out to be your most memorable festival yet. After all, why wait for others to bring the party when you’re perfectly capable of throwing it yourself?.Diwali 2025 in the UAE: How to glam up your bash without the bills, tips from the experts .Diwali 2025 fireworks in Dubai: Locations, timings for Indian Festival of Lights revealed.7 best Diwali lights and lanterns for UAE homes 2025: Battery, plug-in and solar picks
