While on a trip to Portugal, Your Shot member Daria Chuvaeva “heard from a local barman [about] an unusual stone house located in the Fafe Mountains,” she says. Chuvaeva decided to journey to the offbeat dwelling, known as the Casa do Penedo, and this image is the result of her effort. “Even if I got lost a few times, I can say that it was definitely worth it,” she writes. “There was something mysterious in that boulder house, [and] I [took] photos of it for a few hours.”

South Africans have taken to the streets this morning to call for the resignation of their President, Jacob Zuma. The South Africans protesting under the hashtag #ZumaMustFall are aggrieved over the manner in which he is running their country since he became president in 2009.

Zuma caused widespread anger last week when he fired the the country's Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene and appointed the unknown Des van Rooyen. 4 days later, he bowed to pressure by dismissing Van Rooyen and appointed the respected Pravin Gordhan to the post. More pics after the cut...

Kenya Alozie, 31, was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on December 14, after being found guilty of GBH with intent. This followed an investigation by police in Greenwich. On 15 May, Alozie and the victim, a man in his thirties, were having sex at an address in Plumstead when she took a hot iron to burn his legs and genitals. She also used a broken bottle to attack him.
The victim sustained a number of serious injuries including deep cuts and burns. He has since undergone a number of hospital treatments and surgery.

 
Alozie arrived in the UK to study at Coventry University. She was residing in Plumstead where she had found accommodation with friends.
At the time of the attack, Alozie's visa was due to expire and she was due to return to her family in Nigeria at the end of May.
Alozie was arrested on 24 May on an aircraft at Heathrow Airport after police in Plumstead launched an investigation into the attack and managed to stop her before leaving the UK. She was charged with GBH with intent on May 25.
     "Alozie committed a calculated and pre-planned attack. She ensured she had a broken bottle to hand and a hot iron to strike the victim and seriously harm him," Detective Constable Duncan Clark from Greenwich police said. "The sentence imposed clearly reflects the seriousness of this extremely violent attack." he added.
