    One week sees seventyfive murders in South Africa


    Johannesburg, South Africa


    12 November 2005 8.45am

    In just one week, police reported 75 murders in South Africa, with the most gruesome case being that of a North West father who wiped out his entire family.


    Inspector Thabo Makhafola said the man, from Madikwe's Lethlakeng village in North West, had been a security guard at a mine in the area.


    He opened fire on his family on Sunday afternoon after an argument with his wife, killing her and three other members of the family including his month-old baby before turning his Norinco pistol on himself.


    Also on Sunday, three men were found burned to death at a railway station in Nyanga, Cape Town. Another man was found dead on the same day on a train bound for Boksburg on the East Rand.


    A police officer was killed this week while on duty in Soshanguve near Pretoria. Captain Daniel Kwatamela Morakaladi was interviewing a witness in an inquest case in Soshanguve on Tuesday evening when he was shot dead by robbers. They shot him several times in the upper body and escaped with his service pistol and police car.


    On Thursday morning, Limpopo police reported that a 39-year-old mother of two was killed by robbers at her home in Polokwane.


    Other murders include that of 62-year-old woman who was killed by her husband who then committed suicide in Hebron north of Pretoria on Thursday, a man stabbed to death in Fichardtpark near Bloemfontein and another one in Thabong, Welkom, in the Free State.


    A 28-year-old man in Luitzburg at Kakamas near Upington was stabbed to death on Sunday, allegedly by his girlfriend's father after an argument.


    A body of man was also found partly decomposed in Delft near Bellville, Western Cape on Thursday.


    According to crime statistics from April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004, about 600 people were killed in South Africa every week.


    The South African Police Service said murder had decreased by eight percent from 21 553 people killed in 2003 to 19 824 in 2004.


    2005 ??????


    On Friday, crime statistics at station level representing trends in the various areas were made available on the SA Police Service website.

    Joe Slovo fire leaves hundreds homeless


    Johannesburg, South Africa


    13 November 2005 07:41

    About 100 families were affected when their shacks were destroyed in a fire that swept through the Joe Slovo informal settlement in Johannesburg on Saturday night.


    Bronwen Jones, director of the Children of Fire Trust, said the fire broke out at about 10.45pm in the camp, which is home to about 8 000 people.


    "How must I find the strength to start all over again?" said James Phosa, a resident who was injured when the same area was razed to the ground in 2001.


    Jones said in a statement on Sunday morning that fire engines arrived fairly quickly, but the community members -- many of whom Children of Fire had trained in fire fighting -- took the hoses from the emergency services and fought the fire themselves.


    She said hoses were damaged by the sharp edges of corrugated-iron sheeting, causing water to come out of the torn hoses instead of the nozzle.


    "Other people grabbed buckets, but the water pressure from the few taps in the community is so low that it took precious minutes to fill just one bucket, all the times [with] the flames moving closer and acrid choking smoke filling the air."


    Children of Fire's firefighting water tank in the community had not been refilled by Brixton fire brigade.


    No one sustained serious injuries, although some people suffered from smoke inhalation and others cut their hands when pulling shacks down to make a fire break and prevent the fire from spreading.


    "A few people managed to pull out washing tubs full of clothes, but mostly they did not have time even to put on their shoes.


    "Susan, a girl aged 13, stood barefoot in the mud and ashes. She said that her school shoes, size six, were burned," said Jones.


    The fire died down at about 1am, but Jones said it was possible the wind could fan the glowing embers and start the fire again.


    Mothers with infants are in need of baby milk formula, bottles and other baby food. Mothers who are HIV-positive lost all their anti-retrovirals in the blaze.


    "A large number of adults have lost their IDs, their matric certificates, their blue cards for the UIF [Unemployment Insurance Fund] and need help with letters and hopefully sympathy from [the Department of] Home Affairs, as they try to get documents replaced," said Jones.


    Community members took in friends and neighbours to share the space in their cramped shacks for the final few hours of the night.


    She said Children of Fire would return to the camp on Sunday. -- Sapa

    Ich habe bestimmt keinen Bock mit Dir darueber zu streiten,ich lebe hier und du lebst dort. Meine Ansicht wird im uebrigen von vielen Menschen hier die ich kenne ebenso vertreten.Jeder hat seine persoenliche Probleme, auch du. Viele haben die selben, erst dann wenn sie alle die selben haben interessieren sie sich dann alle dafuer. Das trifft auch fur Deutschland zu.


    Die Zukunft wird es zeigen wie es weiter geht mit diesen Land.
    Du bist vielleicht ein Mensch der alles glaubt was gedruckt wird, ich bin es jedenfalls nicht. Die Zahlen die da verbreitet werden koennten falsch sein im Interesse von weiss ich was und wen.


    Was soll da gut fuer die Minen sein wenn der Rand stark bleibt ???


    Ihr koennt ja zwischen den Zeilen lesen, zumindest habt ihr mehr Information was RSA angeht und das ist der Sinn der Sache warum ich ueberhaupt meine Kommentare dazu schreibe.


    Eigentlich solltest du/ihr mir dafuer dankbar sein die Zeit dafuer aufzuwenden. Es hoert sich anders an.


    Ich kann auch anders, dieses Thema geht mir eh schon auf den Sack.


    Wer es jetzt noch nicht kapiert hat was hier los ist den kann ich auch nicht helfen.


    Bei Euch gehts dann eben Bergab und bei uns Bergauf.


    Am besten ihr siedelt um nach RSA. :D


    Feel it for yourself !


    Gruss, nichts fuer ungut Kuddel. ;)

    German borrowing to hit record, gold sales planned


    Sat Nov 12, 2005 11:41 AM ET



    BERLIN, Nov 12 (Reuters) - German net new borrowing will swell to a record 41 billion euros in 2006 but fall markedly the following year, the country's designated Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck said on Saturday.
    Speaking at a news conference to present the financial aspects of a new coalition agreement between the German conservatives and Steinbrueck's Social Democrats (SPD), he also said he was in talks with the Bundesbank about a sale of gold reserves to finance future investment projects.


    However, Steinbrueck said coalition plans for 25 billion euros in new investments were not dependent on the gold sale plan and conservative finance expert Michael Meister said the German central bank's independence would be respected in the talks.


    "A lot of details still need to be worked out. We're not there yet," Steinbrueck said.


    Steinbrueck confirmed reports on Friday that the government wants to sell part of the Bundesbank's roughly 3,433 tonnes of gold reserves and invest the proceeds in interest-bearing assets :Dcontrolled by the bank.


    The interest would then be used to pay for research and development projects and would not flow into the federal budget. The Bundesbank has signalled in the past it would not accept such transfers to the budget.


    Steinbrueck also confirmed the government planned to tax all capital gains made by individuals on the sale of shares or real estate from 2007 at a 20 percent rate.


    Capital gains are currently tax free in Germany if shares are held for more than a year or if property is held for over 10 years.

    Wachstum von über 4.0% verzeichnen, die Kriminalitaet auf jeden Fall, wenn nicht mehr.


    Warten, warten auf den schwachen Rand ??


    Na dann wartet mal weiter bei solchen guten Nachrichten von CS..

    Three traditional surgeons arrested



    12/11/2005 19:19



    Johannesburg - Police have arrested three illegal traditional surgeons in the Eastern Cape since late last week, Department of Health spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo said on Saturday.
    "Illegal traditional surgeons caught circumcising underage boys will feel the full might of the law," he said.


    "We are taking a no-nonsense approach to them."


    He said the department and the police were clamping down on illegal circumcisions after the deaths of 23 boys in the June-July circumcision season in the Eastern Cape....... (Zipfel Saison) :D


    The department had already had meetings with the provincial police commissioner "to discuss strategies".


    "We are also approaching the Minister of Justice and the Director of Public Prosecutions with the aim of making sure that if an illegal surgeon is arrested, he stays in jail until the end of the season." :D


    The penalties, in terms of the Traditional Circumcision Act No 6 of 2001, were one to 15 years in jail or a R1 000 to R15 000 fine.


    "Since the Act came in, we have successfully convicted and sentenced 31 illegal traditional surgeons and nurses, out of 63 charged," he said.


    Health MEC Bevan Goqwana would be "busy like a bee" during the November-December circumcision season, "focusing for the whole of December on the circumcision thing".


    Helicopters, 4x4s on standby


    "We have three helicopters and 400 4x4s on standby," he said. Kupelo said illegal surgeons would find they had "no place to hide". :D


    >>>( bei uns kommt kein Schwein wenn jemand einbricht oder ueberfallen wird) :(


    "We are taking no chances. We rush in, investigate and take the person to police. We have to try by all means to avoid these deaths. We want to stop them once and for all. It is zero tolerance and we are armed to the teeth." :D


    The department would employ 400 medical officers, 400 hired 4x4s and three helicopters in its bid to stop circumcision deaths.


    "It costs a lot to treat an initiate in hospital - about R700 a day. From 1995 to date, we estimate it has cost more than R10m to keep initiates in hospital."


    He said the 400 medical officers would examine and treat the boys in the bush, and take them to hospital only if they were in a serious condition.


    There was no budget to build wards for initiates, and hospitals were suffering "severe shortages", he said.


    Kupelo said the department had rescued about 5 000 boys during the June-July season.


    "(A total) of 250 would have died if they had not got to hospital. As it is, five of them lost their manhood. Their penises were amputated because they were gangrenous. It is very serious".


    He said more than 400 traditional surgeons had registered their practices since 2004 in terms of the Traditional Circumcision Act No 6 of 2001.


    The Act also required that surgeons keep records of the boys, and get their parents' permission.

    Habe die Droopy veraeussert bei den Preis von gestern.


    Out of Afrika.


    Ich habe die NGG.V und SPZ.V , kanadischen Juniors (Oh Gott ...)

    Ich benutze die Zeit zum einkaufen. :D

    Schuldenblase, kann durchaus passieren was du sagst, abwarten und Tee trinken. Erstmal holt man das meiste von Euch was benoetigt wird bevor Gold verkauft wird. Ist eine Sauerei was die machen, bald muss man bis 70 arbeiten damit man von seiner einbezahlten Rente was sieht. Arbeitslose Kinder egal wie alt muessen wieder ins elterliche Haus und von denen unterstuetz werden.Aber fuer die Asylanten ist Geld da so wie es ausschaut.


    Sieht echt duster aus bei Euch, schade ! :(
    Da gehts den Oesterreichern viel besser im Moment.

    Ist schon lustig wie viele Suedafrikaner sich im Regenwald nun herumtreiben weil zu Hause ist es fast sinnlos geworden.
    Bachalex spottet ueber die Explorer aber hat nun auch einen ueber DRD der gebraucht wird um Droopy weiter herrlich zu halten. :D
    Den Vergleich mit den Juniors in Canada machen wir spaeter, dann sehen wir wer am besten lacht und besser aussieht.

    Investitiionsvolumen 100% = 100 MioASD
    und Produktionsreife in 4 Jahren.
    :rolleyes:

    Also ich glaube nicht das Deutschland so dumm ist sein Gold zu verkaufen.
    Ich vermute das es wieder ein Bluff ist um den Goldpreis zu druecken und Ben Bernake damit aushilft wie frueher Ernst Welteke es immer machte.
    Ist schon lustig immer die anderen verkaufen nur nicht Amerika.


    WOOF WOOF, manche fallen druf ! :D
