Pretoria Becomes Globalist Sh*thole as Nigerians, Drugs & Taxi Driver Wars Plunge CBD Into Chaos (VIDEO)

Drugs & Taxi Drivers were blamed for CBD being plunged into chaos - shops looted, buildings set on fire and public transport suspended in South Africa's Capital City. Taxi drivers took to the streets in Pretoria after one of their "colleagues" was apparently killed by a Nigerian who was apparently selling drugs. They allegedly set the buildings where the Nigerian "businesses" were operating from, on fire and then hijacked a truck, which was used to block an intersection to prevent the fire trucks from getting to the fire. The killing of the taxi driver is believed to have started these riots in the CBD. The situation left bus commuters stranded after the city temporarily suspended its bus services for safety reasons. Several foreign stores were looted and a building was set alight. Police had to chase rioters with rubber bullets who prevented the firefighters from reaching the scene.   Watch at: https://youtu.be/FuR1mc2xxrc The police system is…

Centurion residents taught how to avoid driveway hijackings by RICHARD BRUSSOW of the National Hijack Prevention Academy

Centurion residents were on Saturday taught about how to avoid becoming victims of hijackings in driveways. This was during a workshop at Laerskool Louis Leipoldt in Lyttelton, where former police officer Richard Brussow spoke to them about prevention of crimes such as hijacking and robbery. Brussow, who established the National Hijack Prevention Academy in 2001, said 68% of hijackings happened in driveways and could be avoided. He has more than 15 years of experience in motor vehicle crime investigation, organized crime, motor vehicle theft, metro police crime prevention, and vehicle tracking. Brussow educated his audience about tricks used by hijackers, their motivation, factors that lead to attacks and categories of hijacked vehicles. Robbers liked using service stations as a base to prey on unsuspecting victims, he said. Once they had identified their victims they drove behind them until they arrived home. Brussow advised motorists to always look at the ca…

Two more suspects arrested in connection with Mamelodi pre-school robbery

Gauteng police have arrested two more suspects in connection with the robbery of international students at a pre-school in Mamelodi East, Pretoria, earlier this month. According to police spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters, one of the suspects was arrested in Limpopo on Friday while the other was caught in Mpumalanga on Saturday. Eighteen students and two professors from the US, who were on an outreach visit at the Viva Foundation School in Mamelodi East, were attacked and robbed by five armed suspects two weeks ago. Service Maimela, 30, was arrested a few days later at the Pienaarspoort informal settlement in Mamelodi East.

Pretoria hijacking hotspots identified

With people getting ready for the upcoming holiday season, it is natural to be slightly more relaxed at this time of the year. Relaxation mode, however, might be the worst thing to do while behind the wheel during the holiday and festive season. Hijackings, common as they are, tend to happen more frequently during the festive season. Motorists in and around the city are required to be more vigilant at all times to avoid becoming a statistic. It is also advisable for motorists to familiarise themselves with hijacking hotspots. Compiled by the SAPS, various tracking companies and the South African crime intelligence bureau, Pro-ActiveSA made an all-in-one list of hijacking hotspot areas. Pro-ActiveSA said: “It will provide the reader with a visual overview of areas to be most aware of.” Areas and streets prone to hijacking occurrences include: – Es’kia Mphahlele Drive – Paul Kruger Street – R55 – Burnett Street – Delfi Avenue and Garsfontein Ro…

KFC-voorval: Drie in hof

Drie mans van Pretoria wat daarvan beskuldig word dat hulle ʼn egpaar in Montana aangerand het, het Vrydag in die landdroshof in Pretoria-Noord verskyn. Landdros Motlhoki Rapulana het na die mans se aansoek om borgtog geluister en gesê sy het tyd nodig om die bewyse te bestudeer, voordat sy haar besluit op 30 Augustus bekend sal maak. Staatsaanklaer Ronnie Sibanda voer aan die mans moet nie vrygelaat word nie, aangesien hul veiligheid nie gewaarborg is nie en ʼn gevoel van vrede in die gemeenskap ondermyn kan word. “Die aansoek om borgtog moet ook in die belang van die publiek wees, aangesien die voorval in die publieke arena plaasgevind het.” Stephan Nel (39), Joshua Scholtz (21) en Dicky Junior van Rooyen (21) staan tereg op aanklagte van poging tot moord, aanranding met die doel om ernstig te beseer en die rig van ʼn vuurwapen. Hul een medebeskuldigde, Marius Harding (23), het sy aansoek om borgtog laat vaar en nog ʼn beskuldigde, Ockert Muller (20), se aansoek om borgt…

Pretoria Commuters get some relief as Taxis expected to operate normally

Tshwane commuters can expect some relief as taxis are expected to operate normally this morning. On Wednesday, operators blocked several roads causing massive delays while protesting to the Tshwane House to submit a memorandum to Mayor Solly Msimanga. Among the issues raised by the drivers is that traffic contravention tickets be scrapped. Taxis in the Tshwane area are expected to function without any hiccups at least for the next two weeks. The Democratic Taxi Workers Union of South Africa (Detwusa)’s Themba Maseko says the government is responsible for providing taxi infrastructure, including pick-ups and drop offs. He says drivers should not be fined for government’s failure. “Our demands are the scrapping of the traffic fines because those fines block our PDPs and driver’s licenses and we can’t drive passengers without our PDPs.” Maseko says the fines amount to hundreds of thousands of rands which prevent some drivers from renewing their public drivers’…

Inwoner van Pretoria voor haar verloofde geskiet wyl hy video neem

Carine van Staden (28), ʼn inwoner van Pretoria, is Donderdag voor haar verloofde glo deur ʼn weermaglid in die noorde van die stad geskiet. Carine se pa, Johan van Staden (53), het Saterdag aan Maroela Media gesê sy dogter en haar verloofde, Johan Harmse (29), was omstreeks 18:00 van Daspoort op sy BMW-motorfiets op pad na vriende in Montana toe ʼn amptelike weermagvoertuig hulle naby Wonderboom Junction ligtelik getref het. “Die voertuig, ʼn wit Audi, het weermagnommerplate gehad en ons het intussen vasgestel die jong man wat dit bestuur het, is glo ʼn drywer vir een van die generaals,” het Van Staden gesê. “Die man het die motorfiets se voetrus getref waarop Carine se voete was en die man het toe net weggejaag,” het hy gesê. Harmse het ʼn draagbare videokamera aan sy valhelm gehad, dit aangeskakel en die voertuig agterna gesit. “Die verkeerslig by die hoek van Lavenderweg en Braam Pretoriusstraat was rooi en die man moes stilhou. Carine het afgeklim en hom genader o…

Dennis Haynes, vermis sedert 1986, word moontlik na 31 jaar opgespoor in Pretoria-Noord

ʼn Man van Bloemfontein wat in Februarie 1986 spoorloos verdwyn het, is moontlik ná 31 jaar in Pretoria opgespoor. Dennis Haynes was 22 jaar oud toe hy van Bloemfontein na Roodepoort vertrek het vir ʼn werksgeleentheid. Sy vrou en eenjarige dogtertjie het in Bloemfontein agtergebly. Dennis het egter nooit teruggekeer nie en sy familie kon hom nie in die hande kry nie. Hy is as vermis by die polisie aangemeld, maar ʼn soektog na hom het niks opgelewer nie. Desireé Haynes, Dennis se suster, was baie jonk toe haar broer vermis geraak het. Sy het Vrydag aan Maroela Media gesê dat die familie mettertyd aanvaar het dat hy waarskynlik dood is. “ʼn Vriendin van my het ses weke terug besluit om bietjie te begin krap. Ons het nie gedink ons sal hom lewend opspoor nie, maar ons wou graag weet watndestyds met hom gebeur het,” het Desireé gesê. Desireé se vriendin het ʼn Facebook-blad begin waarop sy ʼn foto van hom geplaas het en gevra het dat enigiemand wat hom moontlik gesien het …
