South Africa: Robbers caught in the act

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.

Two men died in a shootout when passing detectives interrupted them as they were robbing a pedestrian in Khayelitsha.

A third robber fled.

The man who was robbed was wounded in the thigh and is in hospital in a stable condition.

The two Khayelitsha detectives were driving along Maphongwana Street in Site C when they spotted the trio robbing another man at gunpoint on Sunday.

Police spokesperson Anneke van der Vyver said it appeared that the trio had taken the man’s wallet and when the man demanded it back, fired at him.

The detectives stopped their car and the trio fired at it, hitting the left front fender and passenger door. The police returned fire, fatally wounding two of the armed robbers.

The 25-year-old who had been robbed was taken to hospital.

The police found his wallet and three others in the possession of one of the robbers, Van der Vyver said.

It was believed the other wallets had been stolen earlier that day.

Relatives of the two men who died identified them at the scene, Van der Vyver said.

They were Philemon Luthango, 30, and Ntsikelelo Qwepu, 28, both of Khayelitsha.

Anyone with information about the incident or who can assist the police in tracing the third man is asked to contact the investigating officer, Inspector Gladstone Kasper, at 079 880 9833 or 021 360 2340.
