Leonardo DiCaprio has been ordered to return an Oscars statue given to Marlon Brando in 1954 because of an ongoing investigation involving Jho Low, who gifted him the trophy. The 44-year-old actor - who ended a long career journey when he was named best actor for his role in 2015's The Revenant - was gifted Brando's 1954 trophy for On The Waterfront, and he will have to hand it over to authorities due to an ongoing court case.

EFF Leader Juluis Malema arrives at the Brooklyn police station to open a criminal case involving money laundering, corruption, racketeering, fraud, perjury, as well as contravention of the Intelligence Act and Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act against Public Enterprises Minister, Pravin Gordhan and his daughter Anisha Gordhan on November 27, 2018 in Pretoria, South Africa.

EFF leaders have this week poured cold water on an opinion poll which shows that its national support would be 11% if an election were held at the time of the poll, claiming that they will emerge as victors in the 2019 national and provincial elections.
