South Africa: Guns seized at taxi ranks

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.

Police seized 12 licensed firearms at taxi ranks in the East Rand on Wednesday following violence last week at the Germiston taxi rank.

Superintendent Lungelo Dlamini said members of the organised crime unit seized the firearms during a raid at the Germiston, Vosloorus and Kempton Park taxi ranks.

“These firearms will be sent for ballistic examination as it is suspected that some people related to the taxi industry use licensed firearms to commit crimes.”

He said 10 minibus taxis were impounded for operating without permits.

Two people were arrested on Friday for malicious damage to property after three taxis were set alight and two people were shot and wounded.

“A taxi driver who was shot in the arm was taken to the hospital, but later escaped before police could obtain his statement. Another one person believed to a passenger was also slightly injured.”

Dlamini said police information was that the violence was part of rivalry over the Edenvale route by the Germiston and Kempton Park taxi associations. – Sapa
