2. Since a lot of attention has turned to the Farm Attacks, it seems killing the aged in their homes is the way to go, as this is still going on every week!

Johannesburg - Members of the police force have to choose whether they want to be heroes or gangsters.
This was what the national head of police, General
Bheki Cele, said on Monday at the military funeral of Sergeant Gert du Toit, 34, in Johannesburg.
Du Toit, a member of the K9 unit (the former dog unit) in Johannesburg, was shot dead by cash-in-transit robbers in Protea South, Soweto, last Saturday.
Cele told his family that they could be proud of him.
"You can walk proudly out of this church. He died for what he believed in."
.....................
Cele said he was worried about police members who were "becoming rotten themselves".
"We have to guard against being different people by day and by night."
He referred to the R5 assault rifles that were found on the crime scene.
"There is only one organisation that uses these weapons and that is the SA police force."
