‘280 ATMs in just seven months’

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 total of 280 ATMs were blown up around the country between January 1 and July 31, 2007 causing damage amounting to R62,4-million, excluding the money stolen.

This emerged during evidence in the magistrate’s court on Friday when two alleged bombers applied for bail.

KwaZulu-Natal police shot and wounded them after they and two others allegedly set off an explosion which destroyed an ATM in Imbali, Pietermaritzburg, on July 10.

Two of their alleged accomplices were shot dead in a shootout with the police after the explosion.

Mzwakhe Gule, 42, of Soweto, and Thabang Mohlomehlo, 26, of Clermont, Durban, have been charged with the murder of two of their alleged accomplices, Jabulani Mkhize and Anthony Hadebe, both of Pinetown.

Gule and Mohlomehlo also face charges under the Explosives Act, possession of a R5 assault rifle, two handguns, ammunition for the three guns and theft of a Hyundai car.

It is alleged that the car was used to transport the bombing suspects to the ATM. The car was stolen in Pinetown.

Investigating officer Inspector Derek Coetzee said at the bail hearing that the Banking Council had told him that 280 ATMs were blown up in South Africa between January 1 and July 31.

Coetzee said that Mohlomehlo was out on bail on a charge of being in possession of an AK-47 assault rifle when he took part in the bombing.

He was fined R6 000, or 15 months in jail after being convicted of theft at Eshowe. He also had another theft conviction.

Magistrate Celumusa Ndwandwe adjourned proceedings to Thursday when she’ll announce her decision on bail. –
