Video: Chaos in Pretoria se CBD – Polisie se swak optrede en houding is slegter as die van kriminele

Taxi eienaars, sakelui en inwoners wat die chaos in Pretoria beleef het, sê die polisie se swak optrede en onverskillige houding was slegter as wat die kriminele elemente is. ’n Taxi bestuurder het aan die media gesê Suid-Afrika sal nooit uit die gemors kom solank hy tevrede is met die swak polisiediens nie, veral omdat hulle slegter as die misdadigers is. ’n Ander persoon het daarop gewys dat hy die afgelope ses jaar gesien het hoe die polisie onskuldige mense mishandel terwyl die skuldige elemente skotvry kom. Die polisie het die afgelope paar dae verskeie kere met rubber koeëls die skare uitmekaar gejaag, en in die proses mense beseer wat geen verbintenis het met die oproerige gevegte in Pretoria se strate nie.

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.

Cyril Ramaphosa’s inauguration in Pretoria forced roads to be closed for Saturday

President Cyril Ramaphosa's inauguration will bring some parts of the capital to a standstill. Dozens of roads will be closed and Pretoria residents will need permits to get in and out of certain areas. Many roads in Pretoria will be closed beginning on Friday. The street around Loftus Stadium will be closed around 3pm. TMPD spokesperson Isaac Mahamba said if you live in the area, you'd better get a permit. "Some main streets like Francis Baard will be open but many of the smaller streets like the intersection with Eastwood Street will be closed off to traffic," said Mahamba.

Businesses operating close to the stadium won't be affected.

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’…
