SA: Japanese diplomats attacked in Pretoria, Tanzanian ambassador still in hospital

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.

Pretoria – Another two foreign diplomats have been attacked and robbed in separate incidents at their homes in the capital. The two are with the Japanese embassy. No-one was injured, and a security guard and another suspect have been arrested by the local police.

The SA police again claimed today that they ‘will be boosting the diplomatic protection corps’ by 100 members and had already bought 32 new vehicles for the unit. However the ANC-regime had already made this promise in November last year — after the Vietnamese embassy was attacked and a diplomat gunned down:

Just returned from Johannesburg airport:

In the first attack an embassy official was overwhelmed in his driveway by four armed men as he returned to his Waterkloof home from Johannesburg Airport at about 08:30 on Saturday.

Police spokesman Dennis Adriao said the man was attacked by the gang as he waited for the guard to open the security gate at his home.
The robbers made off with his cellphone, wallet and luggage.

Another embassy official and his wife were attacked and held up by two robbers at their home in Lynwood, Pretoria, about 14:00 on Sunday.

Adriao said the armed men stole electrical appliances, jewellery and a laptop computer, among other things.

When approached on Monday, the embassy did not wish to name the victims nor comment on the robberies. No one was injured in the attacks.

SECURITY GUARD ARRESTED:
Adriao said a 17-year-old suspect was arrested on Sunday evening at a flat in the Pretoria CBD in connection with the robbery earlier that day.

A 23-year old security guard who was on duty at the home of the Japanese couple was also arrested.

A number of stolen items and the guard’s firearm, which was taken during the robbery, were found at the flat.

Adriao said the diplomatic protection unit would shortly be strengthened by 100 new members.

He said 32 new vehicles already had been bought for the unit.
The police, members of the diplomatic corps and the ministry of safety and security met in November after several armed robberies at the homes of diplomats.

NEW POLICE POSTS ALREADY ADVERTISED…
Adriao said on Monday the posts already had been advertised. They could be filled as early as February.

Meanwhile, the High Commissioner of Tanzania Emmanuel Mwambulukutu, 63, who was smashed over the head with bottles by four robbers and then stabbed in the head with broken bottle pieces, is reported to be in a’ stable ‘condition.

There has been no word on whether he has been revived from his coma however.

Sonja Ewels of Pretoria East Hospital said on Monday that although Mwambulukutu ‘was showing signs of progress, he would still take a long time to recover.’
