June 29 2008 PRETORIA. Commercial pilot Attie van Schalkwyk, 32, of Hartbeespoort was pulled over on Church Street in Pretoria-West enroute home from the Johannesburg airport near Kempton Park at 10pm after returning from a flight. The two uniformed police officers inside the police vehicle then pointed a R5 military assault rifle at him, accused him of 'drunken driving', said he was arrested -- and then forced him to withdraw large amounts of cash at two cash points nearby which they took for themselves. They took no breathaliser- nor blood-tests. The Afrikaner pilot ran for his life, jumping out at a stop-sign on a turn-off to the black township of Atteridgeville he was being driven to. He and his wife have now placed formal robbery charges at the Hartbeespoort police station and the Police Inspectorate has also been informed. Investigations are ongoing against the two Pretoria-West police officers, who claim the Afrikaner pilot had been 'drunk'. However he and his attorney Wilhelm Mundt provided legal proof that he had been sober at the time. The two UNNAMED police officers who had robbed him at gunpoint, claimed that they were 'investigating a charge of drunk driving' against the Afrikaner pilot, but took neither blood- nor breathalyser tests during his 'arrest'. Van Schalkwyk says he now fears for his life and believes the Pretoria-West cops and their comrades would not hesitate to take revenge.
