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 taxi driver and his “passenger” have been arrested for the rape of 30 women over an eight-month period.
By the time they were arrested in September, 30 women had been raped, among them an 18-year-old schoolgirl who was abducted at gunpoint on her way to school.
The pair are due to appear in court this week.
A 40-year-old Meyerton woman was lucky to escape after the pair allegedly robbed her and ordered her to jump out of a moving taxi.
The incident terrified her so much that she has stopped using minibus taxis.
The pair’s reign of terror is believed to have started in April and ended with their arrest in September.
Inspector Sabata Modupe, spokesperson for the De Deur police, said a number of rape cases had been reported in Sebokeng, De Deur, Orange Farm and Evaton since April.
“In all the cases, the women reported that there were two perpetrators and that they were in a taxi. All the victims were raped by both men.”
The perpetrators had used the same modus operandi.
“During our investigations we found that the approach they were using to get their victims was to stop in front of them in a taxi and abduct them at gunpoint.
“The other was to wait until all the other passengers had alighted and if the remaining person was a woman, they would drive with her somewhere and rape her,” Modupe said.
And, had it not been for the efforts of a resident, the police would probably still be looking for the men.
Modupe said the resident gave them a tipoff, and they went with one of the victims to a taxi rank in Orange Farm.
“There, the victim pointed out the taxi which had the alleged rapist inside, the taxi driver. He was arrested and he took the police to his friend.”
Modupe said that during an identification parade, 27 women positively identified the perpetrators. Two more parades are expected to be held soon.
The Meyerton woman boarded the taxi in Residentia, near De Deur, but became suspicious when the taxi deviated from the usual route in the area.
That was the beginning of her nightmare.
“They had a gun and a knife and ordered me to give them my jewellery, bank cards and everything I had in my bag,” she said.
The men then told her to get out of the taxi. But the taxi was still moving.
“They said ‘jump out, or do you want us to kill you?’. I jumped out and hurt my knee,” the woman said.
When she reported the matter to the police, they told her the two men had been arrested for raping women in the area.
“I was sad for those women but happy that I escaped,” she said.
The 32-year-old driver and his friend will apply for bail on Thursday.
