Black police racist insults at MP's husband ‘ don’t think you are special because you are white…’
– July 14 2010: Police attacked Stewart, 62, the husband of MP Denise Robertson (DA) in Durbanville, Cape Town, in yet another attack of police brutality. Stewart Robinson, 62, an IT_project manager of the city of Cape Town, had to get his eye-banks stitched up after he was racially abused by black cops and brutally assaulted without any explanations: with the cops shouting at him that he ‘shouldn’t think he was special just because he’s white’.
Formal charges were placed at the Durbanville police station. Die Burger newspaper established from the motor-vehicle registration recorded by the victim that it formed part of the Central Cape Town SAPS ‘ crime-prevention unit. Mrs Robinson said her husband was forced off the road Monday 13:00 on Racecourse Road Durbanville by the police vehicle, a Mercedes-Benz-Vito-microbus. He was unable to pull over safely there and continued on to a Total fuel-station.
The cops jumped from the vehicle there, and dragged him from his vehicle, and beat him up – breaking his glasses in the process. Eyewitness Johan Smit rushed to help Robinson and demanded to know who they were: and the cops snarled at him and at Robinson: ‘do not think you are special just because you are white’. The cops then climbed back inside the vehicle and drove off.

Mnandi smallholdings, Centurion: Mrs Pat Joffe, 76, former treasurer, SA Rhodesian Ridgeback Club: assaillant may be known to cops – yet no arrests: not even announced to the news media!
Friday Jan 6 2012: 76-year-old Mrs Pat Joffe’s mystery farm-murder : not reported by police~to news media: they first claimed she was shot: but coroner found the old lady had instead been stabbed, beaten, locked in a bathroom, the key removed while she was still alive… and then she was simply left to bleed to death:
It was only through a small notice on the face book page of the SA Rhodesian Ridgeback club that residents at the Mnandi smallholdings in Centurion near Pretoria learned that the club’s retired treasurer, 76-year-old Mrs Pat Joffe, was brutally murdered on her smallholding. The SA Police have not reported her gruesome murder to the news media at all thus far…
Her long-time friend Mrs Liz Megginson shangara@icon.co.za writes:” Pat Joffe was my friend for many years and I am trying to get her album of photos. .. The police initially thought that she was shot, as her wounds were deep, but the first part of the coroner's report suggests that she was stabbed.
Also assaulted by a groom just before Christmas:
She was also beaten, then locked in a bathroom and the key removed. I assume from this that she was still alive when she was put in there and probably bled to death. Just before Christmas a groom who worked for someone else who stabled a horse at the site, had he grabbed her and left bruises on her arms.
Pat had just turned 76 on the 16th December, but was very slim, fit and active and was still able to ride. I shall keep in touch, as I do believe these things should be recorded. No one has informed the press. I am not sure if this should be made public, or not?
We have lost several people in the dog world, through farm murders, some very brutal…. “
It is believed the case is being handled by Lyttelton police station: (Phone: SouthAfrica_27_0_12-6448600). Centurion does not have a police station.

Peter Stiff, 78, wife Fran 'threatened' by uniformed cops to pay R75 for meal they said was overcooked and dryPosted: 02 Dec 2011 10:15 PM PST
"Threatening" uniformed cops forced elderly white couple to pay R75.- for a meal they said was poorly prepared. December 3 2011 Journalist Sameer Naik of The Star interviewed Peter Stiff, 78 and wife Fran, who said they were horrified by the abuse they allegedly received from the management of the Crayfish Inn Restaurant in Ramsgate - after they complained about the poor quality of the food. Book publisher Mr Stiff - who moves around on crutches - said 'we were locked in the restaurant, verbally abused by the managers and then were forced to pay R75.- for a meal that had been overcooked and dry.'
A lawyer from Fedhasa, the South African hospitality association, says the police should never have been called in for what was a civil dispute over services. Mr Stiff said the co-owner flew into a temper on hearing their complaints, allegedly telling them that 'regardless of whether we ate the fish or not, we would pay for the fish which cost around R75.' It all happened three weeks ago when they were holidaying at the South Coast.
After complaining of the quality of the food, which they had rejected after just tasting it, the couple stood up and headed for the front door but were blocked by another of the restaurant owners. “He pushed me around and told me to go back to my table and pay for what I had ordered. "There was nothing I could do as I am 78 and I am on crutches, so I was defenceless,” said Peter Stiff. The owners then summoned the police. The uniformed cops then ordered the couple to "pay for the meal they had ordered or be arrested."
The owners of the Crayfish Inn confirmed they’d called the police after the couple refused to pay for their meal. “Neither the staff nor management laid a hand on the couple,” said manager Johnson Shou. “Neither did we verbally abuse either of them.” Shou said the couple had complained consistently from the moment they sat down. Shou said they had attended to every complaint and offered them free meals.
“However, the couple just refused to pay.” “If the consumers felt threatened or were abused in any way by the police they can report this to the Independent Complaints Directorate,” said Bianca Coelho Barata of law firm Goldman Judin Inc. Barata urged consumers to report restaurants to the National Consumer Forum should they be unhappy with the treatment they receive. Ramsgate police did not respond to numerous requests for comment. - Independent on Saturday http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/kwazulu-natal/cops-force-couple-to-pay-for-meal-1.1191567

SA cops storm Nigerian consulate gate, Bramley Johannesburg - in row over Nigerians' refusing to pay bribes
Posted: 28 Nov 2011 10:19 PM PST
SA cops stormed Nigerian consulate gate, tried to climb electronic fence in bribery-row December 3 2011 Journalist Thabiso Thakal reported a startling incident in the Saturday Star which occurred on Tuesday Nov 29: when SAPS members from the Bramley police station on Tuesday tried to storm the gate of the Nigerian consulate-general in Johannesburg - in an alleged row over Nigerians refusing to pay 'bribes' to staffers at the embassy.
It is not clear from the story whether the staffers were Nigerian or South African citizens. Attached: photograph of alleged SAPS assault on consular gate from CCTV footage. The drama played out when members from the Twelve Apostles Church in Christ, all set to to Nigeria the next day, had demanded their passports back after being denied visas over claims they “refused to pay a bribe”. They had wanted to attend an annual prayer meeting in Nigeria.
Heavily armed police from Bramley police station arrived and, denied access by consular officials, allegedly tried to storm the gate before attempting to scale the electric fence. CCTV shows armed South African officers arguing with (South African) security guards and (Nigerian) embassy officials while the officers tride to invade the consular premises. Church members were handed their passports with cancelled visas. Thami Khanyile of the church said they were told “bluntly” by an official that staff (not clear whether they were Nigerians or South Africans) had been sweating over 68 visas for “nothing”.
“When we stated that we were not willing to pay a bribe, the officials reacted angrily and proceeded to revoke the visas which had already been issued in our passports,” he said. “We called the police to come to our rescue because they refused to hand our passports back. We wanted to open a case but we were advised to take this through international relations.” Khanyile said the church has lost more than R500m in booked air tickets and accommodation for the 68. “They (consular officials) told us that the Nigerian church which we were visiting did not provide them with a genuine certificate that our church was registered,” he added. “We saw this as a ploy to try and solicit a bribe from us.” Consular sources said the church members had tried to stage an “illegal sit-in” at the consulate after they were told to return the next day with extra documents. Security was called to forcibly remove them, but police arrived and tried to force their way in.
“They ordered the guard on duty to open the gate and when he refused they threatened to gain entry by force,” said a source. A consular official who cannot be named said the officers acted “in violation of the diplomatic protocol and will have to answer serious questions for invading Nigeria”. Clayson Monyela, spokesman for the Department of International Relations and Co-operation, said the department would raise the issues through diplomatic channels with their Nigerian counterparts. The SAPS would investigate once an official complaint was received, said national police spokesperson Captain Dennis Adriao. The SAPS “respects international diplomatic protocols and any violation of these protocols will be seen in a serious light”. - Saturday Star http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/gauteng/cops-try-to-storm-consulate-1.1191559?utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=breakingnews&utm_source=sabreakingnews
