Las Vegas - Before he opened fire late Sunday - killing at least 50 people at a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip - the gunman Stephen Paddock lived a quiet life for years in a small town outside Las Vegas.

They have raised a number of doubts about Sisulu's prospects of appealing to

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane admits that his man management skills are being tested to the limit as the team has refocused their attention to domestic obligations. Sundowns has a pool of 31 registered players who were drafted into a solid squad to compete in the CAF competition and the PSL. Following their elimination from the CAF Champions League, the Brazilians' major goal will be reclaiming the Absa Premiership title. Sundowns were knocked out by Wydad Casablanca of Morocco in the quarterfinals via penalties. Mosimane has continually reshuffled his team to keep high profile players content. "We have a number of players hanging around and when you don't give them a chance they become
