During an intel driven ops SAPS uncovered arms cashe' at a house in Nordwood, JHB G

[Tom]

Die SAPS het hierdie foto's vannaand op twitter getweet.

Onwillekeurig wonder ek wat dit genoem sou wees as die eienaars van die huis met Boeremag verbind kon word. Dan was dit sekerlik nie n 'arms cashe' nie, maar n 'depot'...

Ek wonder of die ou ook 11 jaar gaan sit en wag vir sy saak...? Selektiewe woord gebruik sowel as "selective reporting" - Shame miskien is die perd ook 'n slagoffer van apartheid, wie weet! http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/jobs/therapist-smiley-emoticon.gif

A massive firearms scandal unfolding in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court is expected to lead to a wide-scale investigation involving corrupt policemen supplying arms and ammunition to criminals.

Graeme Hosken | 2014-06-04

Thousands of weapons were surrendered to the police during the firearms amnesty of 2009 and were earmarked for destruction.

On Monday last week, police raided the house of elderly Ukrainian couple Emma Shmukler-Tishko, 65, and her husband Mark, 62, and seized 112 assault rifles, handguns, commercial explosives and detonators stored in a backroom.

Prosecutor Talita Louw told the court yesterday that among the recovered weapons were guns that should have been destroyed during the amnesty period.

Louw said that an R1 rifle handed in at the Roodepoort police station, in April 2010, during the amnesty, was among the weapons confiscated from at the couple's house in Norwood, Johannesburg.

"In May, the same rifle was officially taken out of the storeroom for destruction. It is not known how the same firearm was found in the possession of the applicants," she said.

Louw said investigators were checking the serial numbers of other firearms handed in at police stations across the country.

"There are several firearms that have visible serial numbers but are not reflected as stolen on the firearm registration system . they are still registered and have ownership."

She said many of the other confiscated arms were, according to police records, state-registered.

"The only inference that one can make is that there is more to this case than meets the eye.

''Investigations are under way to determine how these firearms left the custody of the police."

Emma Shmukler-Tishko, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, was granted R5000 bail.

She, together with her husband, and Malawian domestic worker Endi Nkhoma, 26, face charges of dealing in, and possession of, prohibited and unlicensed firearms, and dealing in, and possession of, ammunition and explosives.

The latest revelation has enraged Martin Hood, of the SA Gunowners' Association.

Hood said it was accepted that police stations were "porous" and that exhibits were stolen or sold from police stations.

"It is obvious that the police do not have proper control of firearms in their storerooms.

"Are police corrupt in the handling of firearms? - totally," said Hood.

He revealed that a pistol, handed in for destruction at Tugela Ferry police station, in KwaZulu-Natal, was used in the killing of a Gauteng Spar supermarket manager.

Hawks spokesman Captain Paul Ramaloko said the investigation of the Norwood arms cache had been widened "after certain facts came to light".

"If it's proved that these weapons were meant to be destroyed as part of the firearms amnesty, we will hold [the police officers involved] accountable.

"Wherever the investigation leads us, we will go," he said.

Investigators are trying to establish what crimes had been committed with the seized weapons.

A policeman involved in the registration of firearms said: "The police allegedly behind this could, if found guilty, be responsible for murder or other violent crimes.

"There are meant to be strict controls around police exhibit [stores] and strongrooms where weapons handed in or recovered are kept."

He said that only police station commanders and strongroom clerks were allowed access to the guns in their keeping.

"There is a critical failure around the safeguarding of the strongrooms.

"People who handed in guns for destruction did so thinking the police would destroy them but these promises have not been kept."

He said weapons earmarked for destruction had to be destroyed.

"There is no way around this," the police source said.

Die SAKP het na 1994 moeite gedoen om die SAP se integriteit te vernietig. Nie net het die SAKP gesorg dat hulle lede ministers van Safety en Security word nie. Hulle het met die ou plan voortgegaan om kriminele in die polisie in te neem. Dit was eers na Charles Nqakula wat die polisie onherstelbaar vernietig was en wat dit vir die SAKP nie meer nodig is om op ministeriële vlak binne die polisie verteenwoordig te word nie.

Ons lesers weet teen hierdie tyd dat daar amptelike misdaadskole bestaan. Wanneer lede vir hierdie misdaadskole gekeur word, moet hulle eerstens n eed aflê waar hulle onderneem om nooit die bestaan van hierdie skole te erken nie. Wanneer hulle dan na hulle hierdie eed afgelê het, sal hulle vermoor word wanneer hulle hieroor uitpraat of selfs wanneer daar vermoed word dat hulle oor die bestaan van hierdie skole uitpraat.

Na die eed dan afgelê word, begin die nuwe rekrute met n twee weke keuring waar hulle soos soldate met houtgewere leer marsjeer. Hulle leer om in groepe te hardloop en hulle leer ook hoe om vuur en beweging met die houtgeweer te doen.

Na die twee weke sal die lede wat nie die misdaadskool keuring slaag nie, toegelaat word om as oud stryders / veterane by die polisie en Weermag te gaan aansoek doen, waarna hulle in die polisie en weermag opgeneem sal word. Dit gebeur tot vandag toe en hierdie jaar was daar weer jong veterane by die polisie in die vrystaat ingeneem.

Daardie kriminele wat ingeneem word, bly dan minderwaardig teenoor die rekrute wat na die keuring hulle misdaadskool opleiding begin. Hulle mag nooit teen die misdadigers optree nie omdat dit as verraad beskou kan word en hulle daarvoor vermoor kan word.

Afrika en veral Suid-Afrika se misdaad stelsel is die oudste mafia sisteem in die wêreld en hulle skakel ook met groot gemak by enige ander mafia stelsel in die wêreld in. Daarom is dit nie vreemd dat die mafia lid van die Ukraine, wapens in die hande kon kry wat reeds vir vernietiging gekwalifiseer het nie.

Die kortste pad vir die polisie om hulle interne probleme op te los, is om al die lede wat as veterane na 1995 ingeneem is, onmiddellik te ontslaan. In Afrika sal die reël dat die sterkste bul regeer, nog vir baie lank die standaard bly. Daarom sal dit ook gepas wees wanneer die polisie dieselfde tipe eed vir hulle nuwe rekrute laat aflê voor hulle met hulle opleiding binne die polisie kan begin. ’n Eed waar die nuwe rekrute onderneem om as verraaiers doodgeskiet te word wanneer hulle enige inligting omtrent misdadigers terughou en selfs wanneer daar vermoed word dat hulle wel met misdadigers saamwerk.

Ek weet dat dit nie sal gebeur nie, want ons het te veel wit polisiemanne in die polisie en ons is mos ’n “beskaafde” land. So lank as wat ons staat gaan ontken dat ons in Afrika is, glo ek dat hierdie probleem nooit opgelos kan word nie.

Miskien sal AKSKA se plan om hierdie kennis aan die lig te bring, tog eendag n verskil maak.
