[Here is an interesting exchange between myself and someone with some Police and other connections. He reckons, these massive airport heists are resulting in witnesses being killed off one at a time. It suggests that powerful people are behind this.

I have even wondered about floating this theory: That the Zimbabwe Army is engaging in Criminal operations inside S.Africa perhaps with the S.African Govt deliberately turning a blind eye? Is this perhaps a way of helping to fund the eceonomically crippled and dying Zimbabwe regime?

I wonder if the CIA killed off clandestine funding of Zimbabwe from S.Africa and now, in another twist, the Zim Army is perhaps operating inside S.Africa engaging in mega-criminal activity – with the ANC deliberately turning a blind eye or even assisting them? If M is correct below, then the S.African Police are murdering the witnesses in order to cover up important aspects of the crimes which could lead to even bigger discoveries – e.g. Zimbabwe troops on authorised missions in S.Africa to steal large amounts of cash.

This is an email exchange between me and someone with interesting connections:-

>>Hi M, No I’ve not been following this. I did hear of one or so murder…

Correct, five weeks ago it was THREE witnesses had been murdered, the magistrate said in court that it had become quite obvious that police members had been booking out witnesses and murdering them. (Benoni City Times).

Now another two have been popped, both apparently are SAPS (S.African Police Service) members. What puzzles me is why they don’t book both remaining witnesses into chookie (jail) for their own protection?

But then they wouldn’t really be safe for long in Pretoria Central either really would they? A lot of Prison staff are on the take, for murder included.

>>Do you have more? I’d like to post your comments (anon of course).

No problem.

Is there any truth that they were Zimbabweans?

My sources say apparently so, at least two of the fourteen involved. Same as the Jeppe St massacre the other day.

Zimbabweans, Nigerians, Chinese tongs, Arab ‘traders’ and others are flooding here to SA in increasing numbers due to the fact that SAPS and customs are mostly ‘buyable’, as are ‘legal’ documents from Home Affairs and customs and excise officials.

Since the FICA, groups like Al Qaeda and others are even more frequently resorting to criminal income, no (official) paper trail, (other than
offshore) – no banks, certainly no mercy for transgressors.

You must know of the ‘Collectors’ weapons-licences (for full-auto
machine-guns) that were being supplied to convicted drug dealers, hijackers and murderers two years ago, involving twelve CFR staffers and four Kempton Park members. They were switching the fingerprints at the registry. I have it on good authority that all these SAPS members are back at work now, (probably doing the same thing all over again).

It’s common knowledge that Methamphetamine is being manufactured and distributed very widely now, (principally by Chinese syndicates), especially to the school kids but apparently imported Heroin is also now flooding the market too. Very popular with the Nigerian distributors.

Being involved in hands-on criminological research leads me to believe that we are currently witnessing a serious breakdown in SA society as we speak.

Of course, the government are as always more worried about ‘appearances’
than actuality but then Socialism has rarely had any connection with reality, has it.

>>And how much cash was really involved?

We’ll probably never really know for sure, in the same way that “An an undisclosed amount was seized” has become the norm in reporting cash-in-transit heists, (so as not to induce even more than the 400 or so CIT robbery’s than we’re suffering, as well as cover the alleged possibility that CIT vans are only insured for R5 Million but in fact actually carry more than R30 Million in cash sometimes, like month-end).

I think the first report we heard was probably the closest to the truth, ($100-Million dollars in American currency alone, plus Euro’s).

You should for example be aware that we know of a fraud being pulled at a large casino in SA earlier this year, a Chinese syndicate was importing bogus casino chips, one casino alone was allegedly losing three million bucks a day, (and had been for over a week, due to the chips being very well made).

When I worked previously for a large SA casino group (Sun International), we were all made well aware that 80% of casino fraud and theft (Worldwide), was staff-related inside jobs. (That’s why all staff quarters are monitored by security too), all staff used to have to sign in acceptance of that as part of their conditions of employment.

As for airport crime, my sources tell me that the safe at Jan Smuts (bugger Oliver ‘Scumbag’ Tambo, just another two-bit terrorist), may as well be called a drive-through ATM for criminals, it’s effectively wide open for them.

And concerning robbery of tourists, its reputedly still a very popular pastime for SAPS members based there. Since they’ve disbanded the reservists contingent, (due I hear to the influence Mr Selebi himself), corrupt members basically almost have a free hand with anyone they like, whenever they like. Apparently its mainly corrupt Asian and Black cops working together in teams of up to six or eight.

Hey, don’t you just love that inter-racial team-spirit! (LOL).
