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.

A motorist was slightly injured when her car was stoned, then overturned by a rioting mob just off the R511, in Diepsloot, on Sunday night, said Netcare 911.

She was taken to hospital by ambulance with a laceration to her head, said Netcare 911 spokesperson Mark Stokoe.

Pretoria police used rubber bullets to disperse an unruly mob beating a man they accused of rape and robbery in Diepsloot early on Sunday night, said Captain Lucas Sithole.

They rescued the man and took him to a Pretoria hospital, where he was in a serious condition, he said. No one had yet laid any charges against him.

Afterwards, the 500-strong crowd dwindled to between 100 and 200, but ran riot on the R511, stoning police and motorists.

Another motorist was pelted with rocks while driving home to Johannesburg from Pretoria in his Alfa Romeo, said Stokoe.

“He was unable to get away and his car came to a halt partly off the road. He also sustained a laceration to the head, but said he was okay and would make his own way to hospital once he had arranged for his car to be towed away.”

Stokoe said police had to escort the medical crew to the injured along a road blockaded with burning tyres.

Johannesburg metro police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said the R511 was closed to traffic between the R28 and Mnandi street early on Sunday night.

Police turned motorists away at the scene and advised those planning to use the road to take alternative routes instead.

However, the situation had “calmed down” by 9.15pm when it was reopened. Traffic was flowing normally, said Minnaar. – Sapa
