A retired traffic official, Dave Steenkamp, has been slaughtered in his home
in Waterkloof Ridge, Pretoria. He was still sleeping in the early hours of
the morning, when the black killers forced their way into the bedroom, shot
him dead as he woke up, and dragged his wife through the house to be tied up
in the living room. After ransacking the house, they loaded up and drove off
in the family car. The car was found, burnt out, in the black township of
Mamelodi.
A white father, James Wheeler, has been shot in the lungs by a black gunman,
when he stopped at a Pretoria primary school to pick up his son after a
karate session. Before the shooting, two blacks were seen driving up and
down in a white car. Wheeler's condition has now been stabilized in the
intensive care unit of a hospital and he is expected to survive. The little
son, who saw his father being shot, was taken home by one of the
instructors.
An elderly resident of Eldorado Park, Monika Arendse, has been found
brutally murdered in her home. Residents are up in arms, accusing blacks
living in neighbouring squatter camps of the spate of robberies and murders
hitting this coloured suburb.
A young white woman from Heidelberg has been hijacked by black robbers. When
the police picked up the robbers in the stolen car, a shoot-out ensued,
which ended with the robbers crashing into the wall of a black hostel and
one of the hijckers being killed in the shooting.
Another bus has been attacked by a black mob on the East Rand. Suspected
supporters of black taxi-associations stoned the bus in what is seen as an
attempt to intimidate the bus company into terminating their- cheaper -
service to and from the black townships.
A magistrate has acquitted a white women from Roodepoort, Alet Cronje, of
'attempt to blow up a police station'. For two days, Cronje had tried
unsuccessfully to get the police to react to the theft of her car from her
backyard. Finally, the police told her to come in herself and initiate an
'internal investigation' into why nobody reacted. She declined the 'offer'
and, in exasperation, told the officer on duty that she'd rather not go
because, quote, she'd blow up the police station if she went there, unquote.
On hearing this, the police suddenly went into action, drove to her house,
and arrested her....
