There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: Ambushing people on highways
[Note. Just when you thought they couldn’t come up with anything new and malicious and dangerous… our enterprising criminals surprise us!! Jan]
Johannesburg – Police and traffic officials have warned motorists travelling on the N1 near the Rand Show Road offramp to be aware of a return of the notorious rock rogues.
For a number of years gangs have placed rocks across sections of the highway, forcing motorists to stop, and then emerging from the bushes to rob or murder them.
The latest warning comes after at least six motorists were forced to stop on Tuesday night with wheel damage after trying to avoid the rocks.
Johannesburg Metro Police spokesman Wayne Minnaar said police patrols in the area had increased but motorists were still urged not to stop if they encountered these obstacles on the road, which borders the nearby Soweto suburb of Diepkloof.
“These people get the motorists to stop then they jump out of the bushes and attack them,” Minnaar said. They then melt back into the bushes and disappear.
Vaal Rand police spokesperson Thabo Seete said police had placed permanent patrols on a section of the freeway near the Grasmere toll plaza after a number of attacks there recently.
They were also monitoring stretches of road near the Sebokeng/Randfontein offramp and Vanderbijlpark/Potchefstroom crossing.
Meanwhile, Johannesburg police have also asked motorists to report such incidents to the nearest police station.
“We have only had two reported in the last month — one where a car was hijacked, and another when a rock was dropped onto a car from a bridge killing a child [near the New Canada road bridge]. It is a large problem but people don’t report it to the police if they have only suffered vehicle damage. We need to know so that we measure how often it is happening,” Captain Schalk Bornman said.
Motorists can phone the JMPD on 011-375-5911 or the SA Police Service on 082-809-1610 if they encounter rock throwers.
