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.

Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula’s views on dealing with criminals are quite different from those of his deputy, Susan Shabangu.
Instead of “shooting to kill”, police should aim to prevent crime, he said at the opening of a police station in the Cape.
Law enforcers should be pro-active, not reactive.
And the key to a crime-free nation was a stricter moral code.
Shabangu has drawn criticism for her recent comments on how police should deal with criminals.
She reiterated her statements to residents in Lwandle, near Somerset West, this week. “You point a gun at a police officer, they will shoot you. They have no time to play,” she said.
A more conservative Nqakula urged society to accept rehabilitated offenders. “People have committed horrendous crimes and they go to jail. But when they come out, they come back to help build the nation.”
He believed a stronger value system would help to curb crime.
Church-goers were advised to take their message to the streets to deter potential wrong-doers.
“If you know of a place where crime is, congregate there. This change will only happen on the basis of morality.”
Nqakula called on police and communities to form a strong relationship. “If the police know the ills of the community, they can help. People must have confidence in the police, and the police must interact with the community.”
He was also optimistic about the fight against crime.
“We had conflict, problems like apartheid. No problems are insurmountable. We will handle this as a nation. The government is ready to do whatever is possible.” – Bronwynne Jooste
