Description
Top successful SAPS crime-fighting unit in Middelburg disbanded: they were too white" says top cop -- Middelburg has lost four of its top-performing white specialist-police officers after the ANC-regime disbanded their crime-fighting unit and transferred them overnight to some town called eMalahleni. After top Afrikaner crime-fighter colonel Anton Crafford was pensioned off his entire four-member unit was disbanded by the new chief colonel Lawrence Mnisi, who reportedly said 'we're just waiting for Crafford to go on pension so that we can sink that entire white unit'. He ordered the cops out of their offices and installed himself instead.

02 August 2013 "One of the unit's specialist-investigator said he's 'finished with the SAPS' after they were disbanded overnight by Mnisi.
When one of its former members wanted to raise formal objects to the unit's disbandment, he was told 'shit happens'and ordered to report to 'eMalahleni'.
These were colonel Crafford's hand-picked men so that they could exclusively focus on the more serious cases and were given more time and better equipment to carry out their work.
Only their typist still remains in Unit 7's offices were colonel Mnisi has now 'moved in together with some guys he ordered fetched from the provincial police headquarters'.
The CSI-unit gained an eighty percent success-rate ever since it was started by Colonel Crafford in 2008.
They sent hundreds of very violent criminals -mostly murderers and armed robbers - to jail. They were so specialised that they could even find clues after up to twenty disorderly cops had trampled all over the crime scene, writes the Witbank journalist.
"We could work around out colleagues who knew they weren't supposed to be on the crime scene, and we worked any time of the day or night, as a team,' said one of the disbanded members.
They were simply told to vacate their offices 'because colonel Mnisi wanted the space'.
Three of their five vehicles were redistributed amongst the provincial police units and 'millions of rands of their police equipment were handed out like toffies'.
We 'were told we weren't disbanded but effectively the equipment and wheels were taken away from beneath us and our team was split up into four seperate parts.
One well-experienced officer says he now can no longer talk to any of his former colleagues because they have all been assigned to different shifts and working-hours.
"I am no racist but it is very clear that this is a strike against white police officers while my colleagues and I gave our very best to the unit,' said the member, who now even has to work without a computer.
Mnisi claimed that the 'Middelburg CSI unit was 'decentralised to apply their skills on a wider level.' He couldn't say why the team was split up however -- while new CSI-teams were just started up in Nelspruit and Secunda.
He says 'the men shouldn't complain: the decentralisation has no impact on them, they didn't even have to move (house), he explained.
He claims that 'the decision to decentralise the local (Middelburg) unit was taken because not all four members could attend all the high-priority crime scenes', and that's why he 'started CSI units in Nelspruit and Secunda.
