Joffter Posted October 22, 2013 Share Funny how two small previously disadvantaged kids get found dead in a toilet in Diepsloot, and the Cops are in there like a flash once the mothers started protesting, and almost rioting. All of a sudden, a township that doesn't even have a police station, has Cops there in force, and has Politicians there making big speeches. The cops had 4 or 5 suspects inside a couple of days. Where did they get the intel from ? One of those they nabbed has apparently admitted to the crime. How does one get that kind of attention to this matter ? March, Protest, Riot and make the area ungovernable ?? Somehow i doubt the same swift police reaction would take place.

Helpmytrap Posted October 22, 2013 Share Can someone post the area of these 4 attacks on a map? http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5529/10421371083_7820f2878e_o.png The two green circles are the squatter camps in question.

Weight Weenie Posted October 22, 2013 Share Can we flag this on Strava as unsafe or something? Create a section maybe? Failing that PM me if anyone is keen to erect signage there to warn fellow cyclists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super J Posted October 22, 2013 Share Does the SAPS (Soon As Possible Service) have a Twitter acc that we can flood, or any form of web page? That protest ride aint a bad idea,especially if we all bring along a dirty beer bottle with a rag sticking out..........and parade around the "informal settlemant".... That would kick up a storm! What ever we can do,we should do! Caerus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted October 22, 2013 Share Obviously this crime situation has been taken care of for our "beloved" president. Now you know why his Nkandla security upgrade cost so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted October 22, 2013 Share Thanks for the well wishes!No statement was taken. I was under the impression that any gun shot wound reported at a hospital had to be reported and investigated by the police??.....well does not look like it! And no my bike was not insured.I had a similar thing with my bike jack, after being attacked i managed to get to a building site where i phoned the cops, they seemed relatively keen until i mentioned it was a bike stolen, then said they would send someone when available, an hour later of waiting, nothing.

He called the police as it was happening, they arrived, eventually. He showed them the video and asked if they want a copy................wait for it............drum roll, they replied NO!
