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.

An elaborate plot to rob a New Germany stokvel club was uncovered at the weekend.
Police Inspector Solomon Mbele said police responded to an attempted armed robbery on Saturday.
“At the weekend, two stokvel members accompanied the stokvel signatory to withdraw the savings and were transporting them to his house. Near to the house, the men’s vehicle was surrounded by three armed men who asked for the money.
“One club member took out his firearm and fired shots at the robbers. One suspect was shot in the chest and the other two fled the scene. The shot robber was arrested and taken to hospital under police guard.”
Mbele said police were again called in by stokvel members later that day when they found that some of their cash was missing.
“The police were called in when R150 000 was missing from the savings. The stokvel signatory said the money had been lost during the foiled robbery.
“But police questioned the signatory and found out that there was a shortfall of cash because withdrawals had been made from the club’s account. The foiled robbery was allegedly staged to cover this up.”
Mbele said the signatory then tried to bribe police to prevent them from telling the stokvel members about the withdrawals.
The man was then arrested and charged with bribery and defeating the ends of justice. He would also be charged with attempted robbery.
Banks have urged stokvels to make electronic transfers rather than withdraw large amounts of cash.
