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.

S.Africa: Zimbabweans involved in mega-cash heist at airport?
|
[They now say that the amount stolen was US$16 million, and not US$60 million as I heard clearly in the original reports. Take note of Zimbabweans who appear to be involved in the heist! Jan] A woman who had just had a miscarriage was among five suspects who have appeared in court in connection with the multi-million-rand heist at Johannesburg International Airport. The woman, an Airports Company of South Africa (Acsa) official, two other Acsa officials and two Zimbabweans, appeared briefly in the Kempton Park regional court on Wednesday and were not asked to plead. The suspects were arrested on Monday and charged with armed robbery. According to police spokesperson Superintendent Vish Naidoo, the two foreigners were arrested near the Beit Bridge border with Zimbabwe. Police said $200 000 (over R1,2-million) in cash was found in the car in which they were travelling, apparently on their way to Zimbabwe. He said more arrests were likely. The five suspects are linked to an armed robbery at the airport on Saturday in which gunmen held up guards at the gates and helped themselves to an estimated $16,5-million flown in from Britain in a South African Airways aircraft. Lean and wearing a headscarf, the woman maintained a serious expression during the court session. Unconfirmed reports said she was a sister of one of the accused. Her lawyer made an application on her behalf that she be sent straight to hospital as she recently had a miscarriage and needed medical attention. The application was granted and the magistrate ordered that she be kept under police guard at all times. Another accused claimed through his legal representative that he sustained injuries after police assaulted him during his arrest. And the two foreigners also lodged a complaint through their lawyer that police had forced them to make statements. The court granted an application that lawyers be given copies of the statements so they can prepare for a bail application on April 7. The state asked that all the suspects be kept at the Benoni police cells until their next appearance. Meanwhile, Acsa spokesperson Solomon Makgale said internal disciplinary action would be taken if the arrested employees indeed took part in the robbery. “It is very unfortunate that our own staff are implicated in this manner,” Makgale said. He could not comment on the likelihood of more Acsa workers being arrested. This article was originally published on page 2 of The Star on March 30, 2006 Source: Independent Online (IOL) |
