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.

Racial tension within Mpumalanga police stations has reached “ugly” proportions, says the province’s safety and security MEC Fish Mahlalela.
“The tension between black and white officers at police stations is ugly and dents… the fight against crime,” he told a meeting on Thursday.
The MEC was speaking at a Joint Management Forum meeting attended by his department and SA Police Service management, his office said in a statement on Friday.
He pointed out incidents of racism where new police vehicles were utilised by white officers and only vehicles which were run down were allocated to black officers, while some stations utilised toilet facilities according to race.
During a visit by the National Council of Provinces (NCOP), he was told that at a certain police station some community members who visited the station to make a complaint to the station commissioner, went away without registering the complaint after learning that the commissioner was black.
“This is not welcomed in a democratic society, and we call upon all officers who are prepared to serve the people to work together in ensuring that the beneficiaries of service delivery are at all times served without any fear of being discriminated [against],” he said.
Mahlalela said the tension influenced community members, particularly those supporting the white officers, to revolt against black officers.
Racism, he said, was not only widespread within the police service, but also rife in the entire Criminal Justice System – where there were allegations that cases implicating certain farmers were not processed in some of the province’s courts.
He called on station commissioners to make sure that all officers and citizens were treated equally, in order to avoid tension and encourage a rainbow police force in the province. – Sapa
