Military equipment seized from notorious 28’s gang

Members of the notorious 28’s gang nabbed by the South African Police and military artillery equipment seized. The image of the seized weapon looks like a Armbrust Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher.

Military equipment, found in the hands of gang members is a serious concern. How do these gangsters obtain these weapons, it can only be through the barrel of corruption. Most weapons gangs have obtained are from the South African police and these gangsters openly admit to the police involvement.  

The 28’s gang has one of the most fearsome reputations in South Africa. Last year, the notorious leader of the 28’s gang, George “Geweld” Thomas was sentenced to seven life terms. Thomas and his 16 co-accused were convicted on over 100 charges, including illegal possession of firearms, murder, and attempted murder. Thomas was sentenced for murders orchestrated from prison or committed. The gang still operates and not even prison can stop the horrendous crime.

Why does corruption flourish? A reason is that the Legal and Justice system of South Africa is in a complete and utter chaos. The problem exists with the high levels of corruption involving the arms manufacturing companies of South Africa as well as at the SA Special Forces.

The opposition parties have not sounded the harp or issued any statements of concern regarding the dangers of gang violence. There is a lack of interest from the highest powers in the land, and nobody takes responsibility for such a serious incident. The reason for this show of no concern can certainly be but one of corruption. Every government agency involved in the corruption of the country will continue to refer any investigated matter to another department for investigation. The lies continue to spiral through the various departments and create the double-dealing to grow in an attempt to cover up more conceit. In this regard, it tends to start with the officials embedded in the government since pre-1994.
