Menlyn Mall cleared out after bomb scare
Thousands of shoppers were evacuated from the Menlyn Mall on Saturday.
It was reported that the IMAX theatre on an upper level received a bomb threat soon after noon.
Officers from the police's bomb squad were summoned and performed a sweep of the building but found nothing. By 1.30pm, the busy centre was declared safe and reopened for business.
Police spokesperson Avelyn Hardaker confirmed the threat, saying only that it was "negative" and that divulging any more information could jeopardise their investigation.

Alleged Schoenmakerskop mugger’s new ploy
THE man suspected of being the notorious Schoenmakerskop mugger has allegedly tried to give police the slip for a second time – at an identity parade.
An arrest at the end of January ended a nightmare for Bay residents following at least six attacks late in 2009 and early this year.
Police captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg said the suspect, Bonisile Khayingo, 37, was still in police custody, and had participated in two identity parades.
However, she said he had switched identity documents with another prisoner during the first identity parade.
“After we learnt he had made a switch the first time, we held another parade,” said Janse van Rensburg.
Police have also added a charge of defeating the ends of justice.
Khayingo, currently believed to be a former inmate belonging to the notorious 28 prison gang, was arrested at his home in Walmer Township at the end of January.

Robbers threaten week-old baby
Johannesburg - Robbers threatened to shoot a one-week-old baby while holding a family hostage in Sasolburg at the weekend.
The baby's father walked out of the family's house in Toon van den Heever street shortly before midnight on Saturday to lock the garden gate, when four armed robbers attacked him and forced him back inside, said police spokesperson Sellwane Legae.
The robbers tied up the man, his wife and his sister in the bathroom. The couple's one-week-old baby was with them.
The robbers repeatedly pointed a firearm at the baby and threatened to shoot her, said Elsabé Venter of Vaal Emergency Care.
The robbers fled with furniture, jewellery, a television and a laptop in the family's Citroën C2.

Prisoners used Net to plan escape
The nine Westville Prison fugitives used a map of the prison downloaded from the Internet, a cellphone and construction tools to pull off their escape from prison, it has emerged.
The awaiting-trial prisoners - Sibusiso Mzimela, Simon Edward Barque, Nhlanhla Lucky Mhlongo, Nhlanhla Mduduzi Mngadi, Dumisani Shandu, Mandla Ishmael Mavundla, Mnqobi Nkosinathi Mabaso and Sipho Zuma - escaped from the prison on February 21.
Alleged serial killer Thozamile Taki was among them, but he injured himself and was found by warders in the prison yard.
Alleged ATM bomber and murderer Mhlongo was killed in a shootout with police on Saturday.
Police spokesperson Jay Naicker said officers of the Durban Organised Crime Unit found Mhlongo at a home in Groutville.
The officers entered the home and came under fire. They returned fire and Mhlongo died.
The awaiting-trial prisoners, who were in the Medium "A" section of Westville Prison, cut through steel doors and window bars and the grille gates and climbed down a rope made from sheets to get out.
Some of them escaped in a black BMW that had been waiting outside the prison.
Police said Barque had been the brains behind the escape along with Mzimela, an escape artist who had escaped eight times from prison. They said that the men escaped using a map they downloaded from the Internet, a cellphone, and tools acquired from contractors who had been working at the prison. The BMW used is believed to be owned by Barque.
Barque, who was rearrested at a relative's home at Umlazi, appeared - shackled and in leg irons - in the Pinetown Magistrate's Court on Friday and pleaded guilty to escaping from prison.
Barque did not go into details of the escape in his plea, but said he had left prison because he was missing his family.
"I escaped with other prisoners who cut an opening in the burglar bars. I did know that it was unlawful, but my intention was just to visit my family because I was opposed bail for my other cases and I had been in jail for 10 months."
In mitigation of sentence, Barque said he had not been on the run.
"I knew that I was being followed by the Durban Organised Crime Unit when I was fetching my kids from school. I was at home with my family and I was not on the run."
Barque was sentenced to three years in prison and has been moved to the Kokstad Maximum Security prison.
Another prisoner recently told The Mercury that one of the fugitives was connected to a fake bail syndicate that had been operating at the Westville prison and which used forged bail documents to secure release from prison.

Weer 'n aanval in groenstrook
SASOLBURG. – ‘n Twintigjarige vrou van Sasolburg is die mees onlangse slagoffer in die groenstrook-aanrandings nadat sy verlede Vrydagmiddag net na 15:00 in die groenstrook naby die Van Riebeecksentrum vir Bejaardes met ‘n baksteen oor die kop geslaan is.
Die slagoffer verkies om anoniem te bly. Dit is die vierde ernstige aanval in Sasolburg se groenstroke vanaf Desember 2009. Mev. Paula Loftus is ook drie weke gelede in die groenstrook naby die Checkersdam met ‘n klip oor die kop geslaan. Sy is vir veelvuldige beserings behandel.
Mnr. Alburt Buys (76) is sowat vier weke gelede in die groenstrook agter die Penny Heyns-swembad oor die kop geslaan en van ‘n paar rand kontant beroof. Hy is met kopbeserings in die Emfuleni Medi-Clinic in Vanderbijlpark opgeneem.
Mnr. Tienie Breiers is in Desember 2009 in die groenstrook agter die Hoër Tegniese Skool oor die kop geslaan en van sy selfoon en ‘n paar rand beroof. Hy het aan sy wonde beswyk.

Talle beproewings teister bekende familie
MEYERTON. - 'n Bekende gesin van Midvaal het die afgelope paar jaar soveel tragedie en trauma verduur dat dit bykans ondenkbaar is dat hulle nog staande bly.
Mnr. Bokkie Delport (65), voormalige eienaar van die Bokkie Delport-skrootwerf, en sy vrou Bettie (64) het in die afgelope vyf jaar vier familielede aan die dood afgestaan.
Die eerste in die reeks dramas was die grusame moord van Billy Delport (mnr. Bokkie Delport se broer) en sy vrou Lillian Delport in 2002 by hul huis in Walkerville.
Hulle is helder oordag koelbloedig vermoor. Albei is op kort afstand in teregstellingstyl doodgeskiet.
In 2004 is mnr. Delport, sy vrou, hul seun Bokkie junior, dié se vrou en hul vierjarige seunjie in 'n padwoedevoorval aangerand. Bokkie junior en senior is albei uit die bloute katswink geslaan deur vier jong mans wat hulle van die pad af gedwing het.
"My hele lewe is deur die voorval verander. Ek het 'n allergie ontwikkel na die aanval wat my kort-kort in die hospital laat beland. Ek slaan knoppe uit oor my hele liggaam en kry geweldige asemnood," sê Bokkie (sr.).
Die volgende beproewing vir die Delports was die dood van Bokkie (jr.) in 2007. Hy het op die R59-snelweg net buite Vanderbijlpark verongeluk. 'n Kruis staan langs die R59 op die plek waar hy dood is en word met groot sorg deur sy ouers in stand gehou. Hulle sny selfs gereeld die stukkie gras rondom die kruis.
Verlede jaar is 'n broerskind van die Delports, Billy (seun van die vermoorde Billy en Lilly) in 'n ongeluk in Verwoerdweg, naby Group Five Pype, in Meyerton dood. Die omstandighede rondom sy dood is steeds raaiselagtig. "Ons het na die ongeluk uit betroubare bronne verneem dat Billy deur 'n swart Mazda gejaag is. Die voertuig was glo 'n ongemerkte polisie-voertuig. Ek kan nie anders as om te voel die kind is na sy dood gedryf nie," sê mnr. Delport.
"Ons loop ons teen 'n muur vas by die polisie. Ons het tot vandag toe nie eers 'n saaknommer by die polisie kon kry vir die ondersoek oor die ongeluk nie. Die polisie se gebrek aan samewerking laat mens wonder of iets dalk deur hulle weggesteek word," sê hy. "Behalwe die hartseer en pyn waarmee ons elke dag moet saamleef, voel ons erg in die steek gelaat deur die stelsel. Die moordsaak van Billy (senior) en sy vrou is nooit werklik afgehandel nie. Ons het vir meer as twee jaar nie 'n woord daaroor gehoor nie. Niemand het ons laat weet die saak is nou gesluit, of nog besig om ondersoek te word of wat ook al nie. Ons het selfs briewe oor die moordsaak aan die minister gerig. Hy het ontvangs van ons korrespondensie erken, maar niks meer nie," sê hy.
"Die mees onlangse ongeluk van Billy (junior) volg nou dieselfde trant. Na bykans ses maande het ons nog nie eers 'n saaknommer nie. Ek en my vrou voel moedeloos en stukkend oor dit alles. Ons enigste hoop is om aan die Here se hand vas te hou," sê Delport.
* Die Meyerton-polisie het by navraag aan Vaalweekblad gesê dat hulle aandag aan die saak skenk en hoewel dit die De Deur-polisie asook die Moord- en Rooftak is wat die saak ondersoek, hulle alles in hul vermoë gaan doen om die Delports ingelig te hou. Ook wat betref die ongeluk waarin die Delports se broerskind oorlede is, gaan die polisie dringend terugvoer aan die Delports gee.

Farm killings should not be politicised: Mthethwa
Mthethwa said a rural safety plan to be rolled out in the near future was a sign of government's commitment to curbing the "senseless crimes" and mitigating the economic impact of stock theft.
"We are concerned about murders generally, it pains us to see one productive person has been eliminated from the face of the earth because of senseless murderers,' said Mthethwa.

Angskreet - toe sterf sy
‘Moet dit asseblief nie doen nie!”
Dít was me. Litasha van der Walt (25) van Lydenburg se laaste desperate kreet oomblikke voordat sy Saterdagaand by ’n verjaardagpartytjie in ’n restaurant deur haar vriendin se vervreemde man doodgeskiet is.
Sy het gepleit by mnr. Manie Potgieter (51), wat glo voorheen ’n huursoldaat in Irak was. Potgieter het sy vervreemde vrou, Daleen (37), kort tevore gewond.
Van der Walt het blykbaar nader gehardloop en by Potgieter gepleit. Hy het egter glo die vuurwapen teen haar nek gedruk en die sneller getrek.
Sy en Van der Walt was vriendinne wat saam by die Xstrata East-myn buite Lydenburg gewerk het.
Die skietery het omstreeks 21:10 by die gewilde Trout Inn op die eerste verdieping van ’n sentrum in Potgieterstraat, Lydenburg, gebeur.
Van der Walt was deel van ’n groep wat die 18de verjaardag van Wimpie, mev. Potgieter se seun, gevier het. Daar was sowat 70 mense in die restaurant.
Mnr. Potgieter se gesin het glo al ’n beskermingsbevel teen hom verkry omdat hy hulle glo gereeld lastig geval het.
Sy vrou was besig om van hom te skei.
Hy het ook by die restaurant opgedaag, maar is deur van die ander gaste verjaag, blykbaar omdat hy onder die invloed van drank was.
Van der Walt het die polisie volgens inligting op haar selfoon om 20:58 gebel.
Na wat verneem word, het sy hulp gevra omdat Potgieter hulle lastig geval het.
Die polisie het nog nie opgedaag nie toe Potgieter 12 minute later, dié keer glo met ’n baadjie aan waaronder ’n vuurwapen versteek was, wéér by die restaurant ingekom het.
Hy het na bewering ’n .38-rewolwer uitgehaal en op sy vrou losgebrand. Sy is twee keer getref, in die nek en rug.
Van der Walt se pa, mnr. Ras van der Walt, het gister gesê sy dogter het na Potgieter toe gehardloop. “Hy het die rewolwer teen haar nek gedruk en haar doodgeskiet. Daar sit ’n duidelike swart kruitbrandmerk teen haar nek.”
Sy dogter is op slag dood.
Hy was nie by die partytjie nie, maar is ná die aanval na die toneel ontbied.
“Ons sal nou nooit weer haar uitbundige lag hoor nie. Sy het altyd uit haar pad gegaan om ander mense gelukkig te maak,” het hy gesê.
Mev. Potgieter is in die Eugène Marais-hospitaal in Pretoria opgeneem. ’n Koeëlpunt het blykbaar in haar bekkenbeen vasgeslaan en haar toestand is ernstig, maar stabiel.
Ná die moord het Potgieter sy motor in die Kellysville-woonbuurt buite Lydenburg gelos en saam met ’n familielid gevlug.
Die polisie het hom 24 uur later met behulp van sy selfoonseine by ’n gastehuis in Rockysdrift buite Witrivier opgespoor. Hy is daar saam met sy neef, mnr. Leon Potgieter, in hegtenis geneem.
Dié is ná ondervraging vrygelaat.
Potgieter verskyn vandag in die landdroshof in Lydenburg op aanklag van moord en een van poging tot moord.
Volgens ’n bron na aan die ondersoek het Potgieter gesê hy tot was twee jaar gelede ’n huursoldaat in Irak. Hy was ná sy terugkeer ’n ambagsman by ’n myn in die omgewing.
Me. Van der Walt laat haar pa en ma, mev. Suzie van der Walt, agter. Sy word Vrydag om 10:00 vanuit die Gereformeerde kerk in Lydenburg begrawe.
Please don't, begged shot woman
Johannesburg - A 25-year-old woman pleaded desperately for her life before being shot dead by her friend's estranged husband at a birthday party on Saturday night.
"Please don't do it!" Litasha van der Walt from Lydenburg begged. Moments later, she was shot dead by Manie Potgieter, 51, who reportedly used to be mercenary in Iraq.
Shortly before he shot Van der Walt, Potgieter had wounded his estranged wife, Daleen, 37.
Van der Walt apparently ran to her friend after she was shot and pleaded with Potgieter. However, he pressed the firearm against her neck and pulled the trigger.
Daleen Potgieter and Van der Walt were friends who worked together at the Xstrata East mine outside Lydenburg.
The shooting took place at about 21:10 at the popular Trout Inn restaurant at a centre in Potgieter Street, Lydenburg.
Van der Walt was part of a group who were celebrating the 18th birthday of Daleen's son, Wimpie. There were about 70 people in the restaurant.
Potgieter's family had reportedly already obtained a protection order against him because he regularly harassed them. Daleen had started divorce proceedings.
When he showed up at the restaurant, some of the other guests made him leave, apparently because he was drunk.
According to Van der Walt's cellphone records, she phoned the police at 20:58 and asked for help because Potgieter was being a nuisance.
The police had not yet arrived when Potgieter returned 12 minutes later, this time with a firearm concealed under his jacket. He reportedly took out a .38 revolver and opened fire on his wife. She was hit twice, in the neck and in the back.
Van der Walt's father, Ras van der Walt, said on Monday that his daughter had run towards Potgieter. "He pressed the revolver against her neck and shot her. There's a clear black mark from the gunpowder residue on her neck."
His daughter died instantly.
He wasn't at the party but was called to the scene after the attack.
"Now we'll never hear her bubbly laughter again. She always went out of her way to make other people happy," he said.
Daleen Potgieter was admitted to the Eugène Marais hospital in Pretoria. A bullet had reportedly lodged in her pelvis. Her condition is serious but stable.
After the murder, Potgieter left his car in Kellysville outside Lydenburg and fled with a family member.
The police tracked him down 24 hours later - by means of his cellphone signals - at a guesthouse in Rocky's Drift outside White River. He was arrested along with his cousin, Leon Potgieter.
Leon was released after being questioned.
