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.

Pretoria – Three home affairs officials were arrested in Pretoria on Thursday in connection with selling illegal passports to foreigners, a department spokesperson said.

Ronnie Mamoepa said one official was arrested in Arcadia and two in Soshanguve, and two more arrests were expected later on Thursday.

He said the operation began on Wednesday in Makhado, Limpopo, and it aimed to deal a “massive blow to what is thought to be a syndicate dealing in illegal sales of passports to mainly Pakistanis to facilitate their movement into South Africa and transit to foreign countries”.

Those arrested on Thursday during the operation that started at about 10:00, should appear in a Pretoria court soon on charges of fraud and corruption, Mamoepa said.

He said the co-operation between the department of home affairs anti-corruption unit and the police would continue to enable them to focus their “attention on service delivery as per (their) constitutional mandate”.
