Residents warned about axe gang
BLAIRGOWRIE – Residents are warned about the axe gang who targets elderly residents. Police warn residents not to investigate noises at night.
The Blairgowrie Community association (BCA) is warning residents from Blairgowrie and surrounding areas of a robbery trend involving an axe gang who are targeting elderly residents.
Brian Price from the BCA said that there have been five attacks recently where elderly residents have been the target of the attacks.
“We have dubbed this gang the ‘axe gang’ because they carry an axe and use this to harm the elderly residents. We want to warn the residents because we want to ensure that everybody is safe in our neighborhoods,” he said.
Price pointed out that the modus operandi that the gang used was to make a noise outside which lured the residents outside to investigate and that is when they are pounced upon.
“The axe gang members are usually looking for things they can take quickly such as laptops, cell phones, and cash,” he added.
Captain Alex Vermaak from the Linden Police Station said that it appeared as though the perpetrators had a good knowledge of the area or lived in the vicinity and that at this stage they were targeting elderly residents who were more vulnerable.
“It is very important that residents should not investigate a possible situation but should rather call and wait for help. If a noise is heard at night press your panic button, call the police or your security service provider,” he said.
  • Neighbourhood grapevine – Please alert all the neighbors about the axe gang
  • Buddy System – Ensure that you know your neighbors and have their contact details
  • Blow the Whistle – Purchase a police whistle and use it in an emergency
  • Repair/maintain alarm system – Ensure that the alarm system works at all times
  • Memorise SAPS and security company numbers – It is important residents know their emergency numbers in case of an emergency.
Capt Vermaak added that the street captains and street Whatsapp groups must be made aware of what was going on in the area and recommended that street captains also be added to the street groups around them in order to be aware of what was happening at all times.

Are White People the victims of Crime



Are white people the victims of crime in South Africa? There are many unpublished stories, and many are printed, however, is there a force targeting the minority groups. I believe there is such a force, and evidently this is nothing new. Some horrific stories are told and daily we hear about the suffering of white people. Groups around the world are attracting attention to this ongoing problem, yet there is never a solution.
Admittedly crime does not only affect white people; the majority do experience their fair share of the offense around South Africa. I think that the justice system has failed all experience all the people of South Africa and suffering

A few days ago, an article published on DispatchLive mentioned that South Africa is the worst country in the world to raise children. It is a distressing reality for parents with children. 

SA named as most dangerous country to raise kids in –HERE IS THE LINK – READ THE STORY


The following story presents the real situation in South Africa, although it is an old article, the reality is that the situation has never changed, it only gets worse.

Black police officers organizing gang rapes of white men in South Africa.

Horror stories are emerging from South Africa about the gang rape of white men in police holding cells. White men are arrested for crimes such as “speeding,” or “witnessing a crime.” They are placed in a holding cell with hardened black crimes. They are brutally gang raped by the black criminals, often with black police officers egging them on. The white victims are then released without being charged with any crime. Several white victims have sued police departments, but nothing has happened yet.

The following piece was written by Gayton McKenzie, a black gang member in South Africa, and published in a research paper at the University of Pretoria. He describes a young, skinny white male who is being held for Marijuana use. Source.
“Wimpie, a white boy who was dabbling with dagga, is put in our cell. I don’t know how old he really is, perhaps 16 or more, but he looks no older than 14, with skinny arms and short, spiky-crowned, brown hair. He tries to fight, and so they hit him. His resistance stops abruptly when one grabs the back of his head and smashes his face into the steel bars …The 20 men take it in turns to rape him. It goes on for more than eight hours, almost the whole night. The boy does everything he can, in his pathetic, limited range of action, to try to deter them, but he is ignored. He screams, he cries, he begs, he tries to bargain, he prays.”
“It is in the morning, though, that I am forced to see what life has coughed up before me. What’s left of Wimpie is lying in a corridor between the bunks, just in front of my bed. He is still naked, shivering in a pool of his own blood where they have discarded him. I will literally have to step over the small body to go and eat my breakfast.”
Here are other excerpts from South African news. Sources.
“An unnamed diabetic man aged 52 from Primrose, Germiston is suing the minister of security for 4.3 million after being illegally arrested twice and being raped in police custody the second time. He was put into a detention cell with 30 black inmates at the Witbank police station. He described how four men carried him around naked in the cell while the rest sang and danced. The man became so emotional, the court had to wait for him to continue with his testimony. The inmates forced him to kneel over a rolled up mattress, then they proceeded to sodomize him until he later lost consciousness. The ‘case’ against him for which he had been arrested in the first place, was withdrawn.
In March 2008 in Polokwane (Pietersburg) a young local man named Nico Bouwer , left with his bride, was sodomised repeatedly while in police custody just a few weeks before he was due to get married. He’s since lost his job due to the emotional trauma, and delivers pizzas to stay alive and keep food on the table for his family. A fundraising effort was launched by Rapport newspaper to help pay his medical bills. Bouwers life is totally in ruins after the attack. Mr Bouwer was on his way home from a friend’s house when his left tyre burst and he hit a light pole and a stoplight. He was taken by ambulance to the Polokwane hospital where he was arrested, and despite being injured in the accident taken to holding cells. He demanded his rights to a phone call but was turned down. In the cell were 25 black inmates. Eight of these black men attacked Bouwer and repeatedly raped him. Some held his arms and forced his face into a pillow while they were sodomising him. He was only allowed to call his lawyer the next day when he was finally released on bail.
In Vryheid, game rancher Etienne van Wyk was being sodomised in a police cell while the inmates were singing, the Pietermaritzburg High Court was told. Van Wyk claimed R1.2m from the Minister of Safety and Security. Van Wyk and Duvenhage were put into the Hlobane police cells after they were arrested for ‘transporting Van Wyk’s game animals without a licence”. The suspects in the cells charged with the rape were all hardened criminals predisposed to violence.The farmer did have a license and was released without charges the next day.
James Brown, a 69 year old with Alzheimers, was arrested for not paying for a candy bar. He was brutally murdered by blacks while in a holding cell at the police station.
The actions are nothing short of war crimes. Many reports include singing and dancing by the perpetrators while they inflict horrible atrocities on white victims. The black police and the black inmates work together to inflict these crimes on whites.
