SAPD acknowledge that they are losing the fight against crime – now need SANW’s help to assist in their duties with gang violence in Cape Town – Yet cruel murders of whites are being overlooked during farm attacks?

Posted on Leave a comment

With the deployment of the SA Army in Cape Town’s crime areas, the SAP effectively acknowledged that they had lost the fight against crime and criminals. A SANDF battalion will now be deployed to assist the police in their duties.

The deployment will apparently last for at least three months. A battalion can consist of 300 to 800 troops. Experts point out that army members are not trained to do crime prevention.

A further problem is that SA military members do not have a good “track record” when it comes to the deployment of peacekeepers in African countries. Rape and assault by SANDF members on local populations has been reported on a regular basis, so the impact of SANDF’s deployment in areas plagued by gang violence, murders and drug trafficking will have to be seen.

Meanwhile, the SANDF has criticized Bheki Cele for his premature announcement when the military will be deployed and what will be done.

60,000 Guns Unaccounted For in SA – 24 Guns Lost or Stolen Everyday

Posted on Leave a comment

An unholy amount of unlicensed firearms are doing the rounds in South Africa. “Destroying” these rogue guns may be the best way to prevent crime.

Each year, 9 July marks the UN’s Gun Destruction Day, which aims to raise awareness about the amount of illegal firearms that end up fuelling crime across the world. The timing could not be more poignant in South Africa, following a brutal weekend of gangland violence in Cape Town.

A total of 13 people were murdered over the course of two days in Philippi – a bloodbath which has since prompted government intervention from Minister of Police Bheki Cele. The area is blighted by gangsterism, and locals have been protesting against their dire living conditions since the beginning of last month.

Homelessness in Cape Town may now come at a cost – City of Cape Town is fining homeless people a R1,500 Lighting a fire in an undesignated and R30 for obstructing pedestrian traffic

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africans have taken to social media seething with anger after reports that the City of Cape Town is fining homeless people for “obstructing pedestrian traffic” and allegedly breaking other bylaws.

A News24 report on Monday revealed that homelessness in Cape Town may now come at a cost, following various complaints by residents, who felt that the city was not being consistent in enforcing its bylaws.

Law enforcement spokesperson Wayne Dyason denied that they were targeting the homeless, but said they are after anyone who violates the city’s bylaws, which prohibit camping, noise, nuisances and setting up fires in undesignated areas.

Lighting a fire in an undesignated area will cost up to R1,500, while anyone obstructing pedestrian traffic could be fined R300.

Since the release of the report, many have taken to Twitter to express their frustration and anger towards the residents who complained about the homeless, and

South Africa’s murder capital is getting worse – Cape Town now has the highest murder rate in the world

Posted on Leave a comment

Based on the latest murder statistics Cape Town has suffered more murders in 2019 than any other city around the world. Once we were admired, now we live in fear of criminals. We have allowed corrupt and racist politicians to tax us into extermination while the economy collapses.

When will we stand up and free ourselves from these shackles?

The Western Cape government is working on a number of interventions to curb the rising rate of murder in the province.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday (28 June), the province’s minister of Community Safety, Albert Fritz, said of particular concern was the reported spike in crime and murders specifically attributed to gangsterism.

“Between November 2018 and May 2019, there were 2,302 recorded murders,” he said. “The vast majority of these murders were gang-related.”

To combat this, Fritz said that he held a meeting between his department, the SAPS, and the metro police which

Videos of Cape pupils having sex ‘at school’ go viral – If this is shocking, then think what will happen with the new Life Skills curriculum being introduced to schools in near feature

Posted on Leave a comment

Videos in which Cape Town pupils are having sex at two different schools “have spread like wildfire” on social media.

However, education authorities say they cannot investigate as the one incident apparently took place outside the school, and the other has not been brought to the principal’s attention yet.

In the first video, a teenage boy and girl were caught by a man who filmed them on a balcony and then scolded them for having sex out in the open.

The teens are dressed in the uniform of a Mitchells Plain high school and no nudity is evident.

The boy is seen sitting flat on the ground, his back against a wall, and the girl straddles him, her grey school skirt hiked up.

The pupils got a huge fright when the man addressed them, asking them what they were doing, and the girl tries to hide her face.

“Is die die k@k wat julle aanvang terwyl julle in die skool moet wees? Dink julle dis f***** reg wat julle doen, ha?” t

Not that we care at all what Mandela’s great-grandson is doing, but he voted for the BLF because he doesn’t like whites, well the feeling is mutual

Posted on Leave a comment

Nelson Mandela’s great-grandson, Mayibuye Mandela, says he will vote for BLF provincially and the ANC nationally. His motivation is the BLF’s approach to South Africa’s future and their shared dislike of white people.

Mayibuye Mandela, Nelson Mandela’s great-grandson, told the media that he will be putting his ‘X’ next to the Black First Land First party at provincial level and the ANC at national level. Mayibuye will be casting his vote in the Western Cape rather than in his great-grandfather’s hometown of Mvezo in the Eastern Cape.

“The reason I wanted to vote in Cape Town is not because I abandoned the Eastern Cape, but it was due to AbaThembu king being incarcerated. He was incarcerated politically.

The Presidency has confirmed that Ramaphosa is considering the request to pardon AbaThembu King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo. Mayibuye’s reasoning for voting for the BLF is the party’s ideology an

The news was dominated this week by two infamous slaps- Wonderfully reserved and well behaved Rainbow Nation you created, hey misters De Klerk and Mandela. We just go slapping our way through the week

Posted on Leave a comment

First, – a teacher at Sans Souci Girls High School in Cape Town was suspended for slapping a very ill behaved and utterly disrespectful little “madam” through the face. If course the potential to turn it into a racist incident was too big to ignore!

And then w/o Johan Carstens was slapped outside Parliament by an EFF MP because he allegedly thought Carstens was a right-wing assassin trying to kill the poison-tongued little Red Dwarf.

Wonderfully reserved and well behaved Rainbow Nation you created, hey misters De Klerk and Mandela. We just go bitch-slapping our way through the week!

ANC Youth League: ‘We’ll burn the Cape Town airport down’ – The amazing mentality of e people who will take over the leadership of the country in due time

Posted on Leave a comment

If we don’t like the name change (which was initiated by us in the first place) we’ll burn the airport down!

Then leave the blooming place’s name as it is!

This is why Front National says: If there is a way in which to build a multiculturalist future with this mentality, nobody could yet manage to convince us of it.
