WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. 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.

[The S.African Communist party is still stoking the violence over the “moving” of this township, from one province to another. I find the whole matter quite ridiculous – but the violence there has been going on for weeks now. The Govt has decided to still change the jurisdiction under which the township is falling – so goodness knows where this will end. And the Communist party is just fanning the flames. Jan] The MEC for community safety in Gauteng, Firoz Cachalia, appealed for calm in Khutsong on Wednesday after protests by residents against the incorporation of Merafong municipality from Gauteng into North West, turned violent.
“I understand that feelings are running high because this is an issue that the community believes is of crucial importance to its future, but violence and lawlessness are not the answer in a democracy and are not in the interest of the community,” said Cachalia. “I also want to emphasise that police have a duty to protect life and property and to maintain public safety in Khutsong. I also hope that normality and peace will return to the community.” Khutsong, the township near Careletonville in the West Rand, has experienced unrest since an announcement at the beginning of November that the Merafong municipality was to be incorporated into North West. On Wednesday word from Cape Town that Parliament had rubber-stamped a bill that put an end to cross-border municipalities,meaning Merafong would be incorporated into North West, triggered violent protests in Khutsong. Police shot at protesters using rubber bullets as their armoured vehicles came under a hail of stones and bottles throughout the afternoon. By evening, a police officer had been badly burnt in the face during a petrol bomb attack and five houses in the township outside Carletonville had been torched, said Gauteng police spokeswoman Senior Superintendent Mary Martins-Engelbrecht. Four other policemen were injured. According to police, 57 protesters were arrested for public violence. Martins-Engelbrecht said that by the evening the situation was under control, but police would maintain their strong presence overnight. Eight of their vehicles were damaged in the day’s protests. – Sapa Source: Independent Online (IOL) |
