The Sasolburg cops who killed
Afrikaner businessman Ignatius Michael ‘Naas” Grobler, Deneysville, were an
integral part of the armed gang which carried out a wave of attacks against
smallholders, yet some of these cops are still working… and none have come to
trial…‘ judge C J Musi, June 3 2011. After
Grobler’s murder, this criminal cop-gang ‘even helped search for his killers’
in a massive police hunt…
Grobler Naas 56 murdered rural
Denysville Vaaldam security complex Sept 8 2010
2011-06-03 Johan
Brits of Beeld newspaper recorded on
June 3 2011 in a trial of the Sasolburg court that judge C J Musi expressed his
deep concern about the fact that the police-officers who aided and abetted
convicted armed robber Moses Sechaba, 23, in carrying out his series of attacks
between November 2009 and October 2010 against white homeowners are still
working at their jobs. The attacks targetted private homes and smallholders in
Sasolburg, Vaalpark, Deneysville and at the high-security compound Club 40
outside Denysville. Ignatius Michael (Naas) Grobler , left,was shot dead at his
house in Club 40. The court ruled that Sechaba ‘did not pull the trigger but he
is co-responsible for Grobler’s death. Musi said in his summary that Sechaba
worked with a gang – and that ‘a group of police officers formed part of this
gang. Yet Sechaba is the only one charged with these crimes in this court.’ “Of
those police officers are in custody, but others are still working as police
officers,’ he said.
“During this trial,
a police-officer had even visited Sechaba in the holding cells and threatened
Sechaba and told him ‘he knows what he said in his guilty plea.’ Musi said
‘this means that this police officer had access to the dossier. And that
worries me. That worries me a lot. I can understand why you fear for your life.
I understand why you won’t mention the names of specific fellow-gangmembers in
an open court.’ He was sentenced to 29 years prison of which he will have to
serve 25 years, on 15 charges of housebreaking, armed robbery, illegal
possession of firearms and ammunition, attempted murder and murder.
At about 04:00 on
Sept 8 2010, businessman Naas Grobler, 56, had gone to investigate why his dog
was barking so incessantly and was shot dead in cold blood, said his stepson,
Mel Shandos, 44, after the murder. The family was under attack and Grobler’s
wife Rika, 62, grabbed her cellphone and locked herself in the bathroom of
their house, named Lekker Lag, ( Happy Laughter ) when she heard the shots.The
gunmen then calmly stole only a cellphone and some jewellery from the house:
shortly before the same gang had also robbed two other houses in the same
‘secure’ Club 40 complex, about 10km from Deneysville and the Vaal Dam just
before they shot Mr Grobler. One of these houses belongs to Grobler’s son
Louis, 30, who also was a partner in their steel business. His house was three
doors down from that of his parents. “My stepdad was shot in cold blood,” said
Shandos.Three shots were fired, of which at least one hit Grobler snr. His sons
described him as “a kind man who had no enemies”.”When my mom heard the robbers
flee, she phoned the security guard at the complex’s gate and started
screaming,” said Shandos. She was treated for shock. What followed was even
more amazing: as it is now said that some police officials from Sasolburg and
Deneysville who launched a search for the gang were actually a very integral
part of this gang. Some were later arrested after their involvement was proven
when Moses Sechaba was arrested. The majority, as judge C J Musi noted, were
however ‘still at work’.

You would think that in a country known as the “Crime Capital of the World”, the cops would have better things to do than harass street vendors. Think again, because that is exactly what they can do very well apart from extorting bribes from the public.
But every now and again, one of them comes short, like the one who tried to rob Rugby player Bees Roux.
Now another useless Metro cop got “Beesed” after harassing a street vendor
Cop dies after being punched
In a clash with the police, the caravan owner (vendor) threw a punch which hit a metro police officer on the jaw. The officer fell backwards and hit his head hard on the ground. A while later, he was declared dead where he lay.
Check the worry in my eye.
In the same article they mention another incident where a taxidriver chased a cop with a knife and the cop ran away, receiving three stabs in his back. Only then did he think about shooting, but shot warning shots first. Useless, I tell you.
Just after the entire world took note of how nine Daveyton cops dragged Mido Macia behind a police van, another cop, this time from North West also assaulted and dragged a man from Setlopo Village alongside a police vehicle. Cop charged in new dragging case
In an incident in Knysna, an off duty police sergeant shot a motorist in a road rage incident. The motorist reversed his pick-up from a pavement into the road and in the way of the cop’s pick-up. The cop simply got out and shot the guy in the chest. The firearm used had been stolen earlier that evening from the Knysna police station. Cop arrested for shooting motorist in Knysna
But the best for the day was this one: Police captain arrested for selling guns to criminals
A Limpopo police captain has been arrested for allegedly illegally selling guns meant to be destroyed to the public. He was in charge of the storeroom. His wife, who is also a police captain, was in on the deal. An investigation found that at least three firearms went missing and were believed to be in criminals’ hands.
“This is where we store all those illegal firearms that we recover during operations and those that people volunteer to hand in. He then illegally sells them to the public, even before he registers them in our books,” said Limpopo police spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi.

Four police cars stopped but failed to help a foreign reporter who was
robbed in central Johannesburg over the weekend.
Colombian journalist Carlos Sanchez and his local friend William Collinson were allegedly hijacked on Sunday night while en route to the airport.
They say four patrol cars stopped at the scene but officers claimed they had somewhere else to go. Collinson said the robbers surprised them at a robot, smashed their car window and dragged them out of the vehicle.

They say four patrol cars stopped at the scene but officers claimed they had somewhere else to go. Collinson said the robbers surprised them at a robot, smashed their car window and dragged them out of the vehicle.
And:
The gang sped off, leaving Collinson and Sanchez to wave down police
cars in downtown Johannesburg. But they said no matter what they tried they
could not get officers to help them.
This is South Africa where cops are too busy doing their own thing to be bothered with trivial things like helping victims of crime.
And who cares if the Columbian journo tells his story to the world?

Arch Commie scumbag, Ronnie Kasrils has added his voice to the criticism of police brutality in South Africa.
Police minister must go; Kasrils
This comes after the police dragged a Mozambican taxi driver behind their vehicle and he died.
I wonder why now only? Where was Kasrils’ voice when police raped people, extorted bribes from the public killed Andries Titane and massacred 34 miners at Marikana? But it was his Communist hypocrisy that got me so bad in the stomach, I wanted to throw up.
He said he never expected to see this kind of police brutality in SA. Say what?
This kind of police brutality is common in every single Communist country. South Africa is no exception.
He said he had become concerned about “reports of beatings and torture in police cells; the attacks on protest demonstrations; the “shoot to kill” exhortations of police ministers; reports involving police corruption; use of conspiracy theories to deal with opponents of government; and the move to strengthen the powers of the government security cluster by dubious means”.
Well, what Kasrils just described can fit any Communist regime from Cuba to North Korea.
Look at these shocking statistics.
Annual reports of police watchdog the Independent Complaints Directorate (now the Independent Police Investigating Directorate, Ipid), show there were more than 4 000 deaths in police custody between 2006 and 2011, including 698 in 2006/07, 792 in 2007/08, 912 in 2008/09, 860 in 2009/10 and 797 in 2010/2011.
Last year, 932 people died in police custody
Further, Kasrils was a high ranking Marxist terrorist, part of MK’s high command and their intelligence chief during Operation Vula, a murderous campaign of terror that changed the focus of attack from 20% civilian to 80% civilian targets.
He actively and with horrific violence supported the ANC Marxist scum to come to power, now he complains that they are too violent. Go figure…
Nevertheless, Let us compare the figures above to the Apartheid Era deaths in detention.
The Atlas of Apartheid (A.J. Cristopher) on page 170 states that from 1960-1990 about 78,000 people were detained by the police without trial.
In the 1960’s two to three detainees died each year until the widely publicized death of Ahmed Timol in 1971.
No more deaths were recorded until the Soweto riots of 1976.
There then followed “a horrific 26 death in two years”.
The outcry over Steve Biko’s death in 1977 again brought a halt to the deaths in detention, but rose again during the 1980’s.
In total, some 73 people died in police detention during thirty years of Apartheid. Thirty years of a Communist sponsored terrorist war the ANC, a Marxist terrorist organization, declared on innocent South African citizens.
Today, the deaths in detention are almost a thousand per year. But hey…according to the ANC and their liberal useful idiots, today is far better than Apartheid, right?
Let me tell you what Ronnie Kasrills is REALLY concerned about. He is a Communist. He feels nothing for anybody, least of all the blacks who die in detention or from police brutality.
He is only concerned that if it carries on like this, then people are going to realise that Apartheid was indeed far better than Communism.

Mandela Police in Action
Note: nowhere in the video is it clear that the man took a gun from the black policeman. It sounds to me that the black policeman concerned finished of the injured man in detention because of the implications of what would happen should newspapers investigate. Because this has now become an international issue, the issue of the man taking a gun from a policeman is being used by authorities to muddy the waters of this crime and offer them a way out. Let me take a guess as to what will happen. The "powers" that be will drag out the case for five or six years, lose vital testimonies and other case material by which time everyone will have forgotten about it. Should the policemen ever be sentenced they will walk in three months. In the meantime the policemen will be on full pay while the "investigation continues The police authorities know how to protect their brotherhood.

Now look at this: Just another example of the brutality of the Police Farce scum of South Africa
They tried to arrest a Mozambican taxi driver, Mido Macia (27), for parking on the wrong side of the road in Benoni on the East Rand of Johannesburg, then tried to bundle him into the back of the van, but when he struggled, they handcuffed him to the van and drove off, dragging him 400 meters.
Video of Cops dragging man behind police van
He was later found dead in the police holding cells in Daveyton. A post mortem conducted on Wednesday indicated that the man died of head injuries, with internal bleeding.
Probably kicked to death by the police in the holding cells.
Amnesty International has called the death shocking. "This appalling incident involving excessive force is the latest in an increasingly disturbing pattern of brutal police conduct in South Africa," Amnesty International's Southern Africa director Noel Kututwa said in a statement.
The death made international headlines…As if Marikana wasn’t enough exposure of SA Police brutality.

Top cop fired for fraud
December 2 2011 at 08:31pm
A senior Mpumalanga police officer has
been dismissed for making false kilometre claims, police said on Friday.
The internal disciplinary committee
found Brigadier Vusi Mdakane, 52, guilty and sacked him on Thursday,
Lieutenant-Colonel Leonard Hlathi said.
He was the Nelspruit cluster commander
at the time of his dismissal.
Mdakane had been in the police service
for 26 years. He was arrested in August and charged with fraud.
“He claimed to have used his subsidised
car to investigate cases in Komatipoort, which were actually closed in 2008,”
Hlathi said.
Mdakane has since been released on
R1000 bail by the Nelspruit Magistrate's Court. The matter was postponed to
January 10 next year. – Sapa

Constable Gerhardus du Plessis,
arrested in connection with the murder of Chanelle Henning, was reportedly the
503rd policeman to be arrested in Gauteng since last October.
Deputy provincial commissioner of
detective services Maj-Gen Tebello Mosikili told the Beeld newspaper: "It
is upsetting that one of our own was taken into custody."
She praised the officers who
apprehended the group believed to be connected to Henning's death, and the
community for the information provided to the police.
"If we could always have such
members of the community who help us with cases, we would not have a problem
with crime," she said.
Henning was shot after she dropped
her son off at school in Faerie Glen, a suburb in Tshwane, last Tuesday.
Du Plessis, 34, appeared in court in
connection with her murder on Wednesday. He has been suspended from the police.
The National Prosecuting Authority
said three other people were expected to appear in court on Thursday.

A woman went to Pretoria Central police station after a friend of hers
had been arrested, wanting to know ‘the nature of the charges and if it was
procedural to detain a person without any evidence linking them to a crime’.
The Friend, you see, ‘was actually one of the victims of a crime’.
For her temerity the woman was berated by a Warrant Officer Moseki for asking too many questions and ordered to get out of his office. Then, when she asked another question, he charged her with interfering with the administration of justice and locked her up in a cell.
Police brutality in South Africa is rife and seemingly on the increase. Barely a week ago a minibus-load of cops assaulted the driver of a car, smashing his spectacles and cutting his face in the process, because he wasn’t able to give way quickly enough for their liking to allow them to overtake. One of the cops told him that “We are going to kill all you f***king whites”.
Recently cops have also been implicated in farm murders.
Read the complete letter to the editor of My News 24, written by the woman’s husband, and, taking into consideration the above, you’ll see the need for a comprehensive shakedown to rid the force of its bad apples.

The woman in question was accompanied by a smaller version of herself.
The smaller woman must have weighed in at around 95kg, with a waist of around
43, and a butt of 47. Which should tell you something about the first woman to
darken our doorway.
Her arms were like genetically modified bananas, and her thighs and buttocks brought to mind a picture of a hippo that had spent too much time in a tiny enclosure, without much exercise. Her face was like a pumpkin so huge and overripe it was about to disintegrate.
What made the two women stand out was that they were members of the Joburg Metro Police. In full uniform. They proceeded to settle down for some mounds of pap and vleis.
