Robbers hit Jo'burg restaurant
Johannesburg - The manager of a Melville restaurant was shot and wounded in a robbery on Sunday morning, Gauteng police said.
Sergeant Sanku Tsunke said five men held staff at the Dros Restaurant and Wine Cellar at gunpoint early on Sunday morning.
They shot and wounded the manager and took an undisclosed amount of money.
A security guard had earlier responded to an alarm which went off in the Auckland Park area.
He discovered that it was a false alarm and got back into his car when two armed men approached his vehicle and forced him to let them in.
They robbed him of his firearm and then directed him to the Dros where the robbery was in process.
Two get-away cars
The two men with the security guard got out of his vehicle.
The men who held up the restaurant were walking toward two get-away vehicles in the Dros parking lot.
They got into the cars, along with the other two men who had robbed the security guard.
Two of the men were arrested as they made their way from the restaurant to the get-away vehicle.
The others were still at large.

Third Rattray murder suspect is in custody
A third man linked to the murder of Anglo-Zulu War expert David Rattray was nabbed while preparing for a traditional cleansing ceremony apparently aimed at protecting him from arrest.
Police swooped on the man at a homestead in Nquthu, in northern KwaZulu-Natal, on Thursday.
Police said the man, thought to be the gunman who fired the fatal shots, is expected to appear in the Dundee magistrate's court on Monday.
Earlier, Fethe Nkwanyana, 23, was sentenced to 25 years in jail after pleading guilty to the murder. Simphiwe Ndlovu, 25, is to lodge a bail application on Tuesday.

Bejaarde weduwee wreed aangeval
JACOBSDAL. – ’n Bloedspoor in haar huis vertel van die wrede aanval gister op ’n bejaarde weduwee van die dorp nadat sy van die kerk af teruggekeer het.
Mev. Marie Husselman (77) is gisteroggend vermoedelik deur twee jeugdiges in haar huis in Rivierstraat aangeval en herhaaldelik met ’n knopkierie oor die kop geslaan, sê insp. Darin Scholtz van die Jacobsdal-speurtak.
Bloed is op die bed en die vloer van die hoofslaapkamer aangetref, sê hy.
Die vermeende rowers het haar vermoedelik met haar tuiskoms ná die kerkdiens by haar agterdeur ingewag en in die huis ingedwing.
Hulle het haar vermoedelik daarna gedwing om haar bankkaart te oorhandig, waarna hulle haar herhaaldelik met haar eie kierie in die gesig geslaan het sodat sy haar geheime nommer vir hulle sal gee.
Pepersproei is vermoedelik ook in haar mond gespuit.
Só vertel Husselman, sê mnr. Flip Pretorius, landdros op die dorp en inwoner van die huis oorkant hare.
Terwyl een van die vermeende rowers haar vermoedelik met ’n mes aangehou het, het die ander gegaan om geld uit Husselman se rekening te trek, maar die rekening was leeg.
Ná sy terugkeer het die jonges vermoedelik haar yskas se inhoud in ’n koelhouer gepak en met dié houer, asook haar selfoon gevlug. Die sitkamer en slaapkamer is ook omgekeer, sê Scholtz.
Daarna het die bebloede Husselman na haar bure se huis gestrompel. “Ek het my doodgeskrik, want ek het haar eers glad nie herken nie. Die een kant van haar gesig was opgeswel, haar oog het gebloei en sy was oral blou,” vertel Simien Deetlefs (16).
Simien het Pretorius se hulp ingeroep en Husselman se wonde probeer skoonmaak.
Kort daarna is Husselman per ambulans na Kimberley se Algemene Hospitaal gebring.
“Ons het niks gehoor nie. Die honde het nie eers geblaf nie,” sê Pretorius.
Pretorius se vrou, mev. Debbie Pretorius, het Husselman na die hospitaal vergesel. Sy het Husselman se toestand gister as “stabiel, maar nie goed nie” beskryf.
“Sy het geweldige houe aan die linkerkant van haar kop en skouers gekry. Sy is veral vreeslik op haar linkeroog geslaan – dit lyk asof haar oog én oor beskadig is. Haar kakebeen is ook gekraak.”
Hoewel Husselman “nog baie deurmekaar” is, kan sy wel praat en onthou sy die voorval goed, sê mev. Pretorius.
Scholtz sê albei vermeende aanvallers word nog gesoek. Die polisie ondersoek nou ’n klag van gewapende roof.

Dokter op 82ste verjaardag vermoor
Wesselsbron. – Dr. Jan-Andries Strydom, een van dié dorp se geliefste inwoners, is eergister op sy 82ste verjaardag in sy huis vermoor.
Strydom, wat meer as 50 jaar lank in die dorp gepraktiseer het, is deur ’n rower oorval, vasgebind en aangerand.
Hy is onder meer verskeie kere in die gesig geskop.
Strydom, wat ook ’n oudburgemeester en stadsraadslid van die dorp is, het baie werk in die swart gemeenskap gedoen.
Strydom se vrou, Mariana, sê haar man het net swart pasiënte gehad. “Hy was op só ’n goeie voet met almal.”
Hy is onlangs deur die ATKV vereer vir sy onbaatsugtige diens aan die gemeenskap.
Mev. Strydom sê sy en haar man het eergister kort ná 11:00 hul spreekkamer op die dorp verlaat. Haar man is reguit huis toe en sy is eers winkel toe.
“Toe ek by die huis kom, was die agterdeur oop, maar dit is nie vreemd nie, want my man los dit altyd vir my oop. Ek het die kos in die yskas gesit en in die gang afgestap. By ons slaapkamer het ’n man met ’n lang mes op my afgestorm.”
Dr. Strydom was in die kamer op die vloer en sy hande en voete is met dasse vasgebind.
Die man het mev. Strydom ook vasgebind en tydens die worsteling het sy ’n snywond aan haar hand opgedoen.
“Ek het vir die man gesê ons hou nie geld in die huis nie. Elke keer as my man ’n geluid gemaak het, het die man hom in die gesig geskop.
“Hy het my gedwing om die kluis oop te sluit, maar daar was niks van waarde vir hom nie. Hy het my man se sakke deurgesoek en hom weer geskop. My man het op sy rug geval. Die rower het die geld in my handsak gevat, die handsak vir my teruggegee en weggehardloop.
“Ek het gehoor hoe my man begin roggel. Ek kon nie opkom nie, want my hande was agter my rug vasgebind. Ek het gehoor hoe hy in sy eie bloed verstik.”
Toe sy later daarin slaag om los te kom, was haar man reeds dood.
Supt. William Mokwena, polisiewoordvoerder, sê die rower het met sowat R900 gevlug.

Historian's wife to continue the battle
The grieving widow of murdered Anglo-Zulu war expert, David Rattray, said she is determined to keep their battlefield tours business going and revealed she is launching a charity in his name to carry on his community work and foster reconciliation in South Africa.
In her first interview since her 48-year-old husband was gunned down in front of her at their home at Fugitives' Drift in northern KwaZulu-Natal by one of six armed intruders four weeks ago, Nicky Rattray, 43, said, "David's life really would have been in vain if his life's work folded."
She vowed that Fugitives' Drift - the guest lodge and game reserve they built together, close to the site of the famous battle of Rorke's Drift - would continue, and the guides David trained over the past six years would now lead the lectures and tours of the battlefields for which he became world famous.
Wearing dark glasses, a plain white polo shirt, three-quarter length jeans and pink sandals, Rattray seemed calm and in control, though at times she shook with the effort of maintaining her composure.
She said she "never once" thought about giving up the business and insisted she would not put burglar bars on the windows because she felt "completely safe" there.
"We've lived here for 18 years without bars. We leave the keys in the car . . . I think this was an isolated incident, I really believe it," she said.
Recounting for the first time the horrific events of the afternoon of January 26, Rattray revealed that she thought David might still be alive if he had not rushed at his killer and firmly rejected suggestions that his death was planned by someone who had a grudge against him.
"Never, never," she said.
She said reports that the alleged ringleader - who she referred to as "Mr Balaclava", as he was the only one of the gang who wore a mask - was a former employee and that he was owed money by her husband were incorrect.
"He didn't work for us, he worked for a builder that we employed," she said.
In a voice tight with emotion, she recalled how she and David were in the bathroom of their house talking, while he changed to go out on his new bicycle - a Christmas gift from her.
The men had first gone to the reception at the lodge, where they demanded money, she said.
When the receptionist told them there was none there, they demanded to know where the owner was.
The fact that they asked for David by name was not unusual, she said.
"They'd also had the names of the farmers next door, just like my staff know the names of the people around here."
Some of the gang then started making their way up the hill to the Rattrays' residence.
"They came across two women - staff members who'd just left the house where we'd had a meeting - and grabbed them.
"We were both in the bathroom, talking about the meeting we'd just had, when I heard my housekeeper calling me.
"I went to the bathroom door to see what she wanted and I walked straight into this man in the doorway. I can't even remember him, it was so quick.
"David rushed at him and pushed me to the side and he (the intruder) pulled the trigger.
"That was it. David didn't say a word.
"He didn't have a chance. It was so quick, it all happened in five seconds.
"David stumbled into the bedroom. I went after him and then I think reality set in because I found myself back in the bathroom and at that point the intruder must have run away." She added, "I knew straight away David was dead".
Though she admits that much of what happened is "a bit of a blur", of one thing she is convinced: this was no deliberate "hit".
"I'm sure he (the intruder) was going to ask for money and that he panicked. He was nervous."
She said she believed that if David had known there were five other men outside, he probably wouldn't have tried to rush the man and it was this that may have sealed his fate.
"I don't believe it was the intention (to kill him). We can't 'what if', but if Dave hadn't rushed at him, the intruder would have had the opportunity to ask for money."
Initial police reports suggesting that the man had been ordered to return to make sure David was dead were incorrect, she said.
"I remember saying to the police, if that guy had come back a few minutes later and fired another shot, I would have remembered it, because I would have been even more terrified, thinking, 'God, he's back'."
Her immediate reaction had been "disbelief, I suppose. In fact, I don't think I had many thoughts at all. I was completely numb".
While staff and neighbours rushed to her aid and the police started to search for the culprits, her first thoughts were to reach her three sons - Andrew, 21, Douglas, 16 and Peter, 14, - "so they were protected and did not hear about it from somebody else".
She said she was overwhelmed by the huge turnout at David's funeral - where an estimated 1 500 people came to pay their respects, including hundreds of Zulu people from Rorke's Drift and beyond.
Indeed, members of the community have continued to come to Fugitives' Drift to pay their respects to a man regarded by many as a hero for his promotion of Zulu history and culture.
Rattray revealed that the day before the interview, a group of Zulu women had walked 19km to visit her - carrying their Bibles with them.
"They came to sing and pray and say they were sorry."
Asked about the political furore David's death caused - with many speakers at the funeral attacking the government for not doing enough to tackle violent crime - Rattray responded with typical understatement.
"It has highlighted it (high crime) for some and if some good comes out of it, that's probably not a bad thing," she said.
She said she and David, whom she married in 1983, had discussed the issue before.
"Like all South Africans, we'd been surprised by what politicians would say about crime not being a problem, but we always used to talk about what a peaceful safe area this was . . . is . . . which I still really believe it is, especially with the support of the community and their outrage."
The idea for the David Rattray Foundation had, she said, come out of the thousands of letters and e-mails she'd had, many from people asking where they could donate money "to carry on David's work".
The lodge has, for many years, raised money for the local high school, church and other groups.
"We now have an opportunity to make it bigger and to be able to do more," she said.
She also revealed that she and her husband had recently discussed what would happen to the lodge if he died.
"David was absolutely ada-mant that it would make no difference, because of his training of the guides and the goodwill. We have the most incredible following, particularly in Britain."
With three men, all from an area near Rorke's Drift, now in custody - and one, 23-year-old Fethe Nkwanyana, serving a 25-year sentence after confessing to his role in the killing - a major police manhunt is under way to find the other men.
Rattray said that when she attended court with her eldest son, Andrew, two weeks ago to hear Nkwanyana sentenced, she had expected to feel very strongly. Instead, she was "strangely detached".
Echoing her son's words in his moving funeral address, Rattray said the family wanted "justice, not retribution . . .
"That's what we went to court believing we wanted to get and so far we've been satisfied. We'd like to see the others brought in and we have every confidence the police will do that." - Tribune Foreign Service

A1 GP: Two mugged in Durban
Durban - Two key people involved in the preparations for the VIP hospitality marquee at this weekend's A1 Grand Prix in Durban have been mugged, the Daily News reported on Monday.
Mandy Ross, the project leader for the event infrastructure management company brought in by A1 Grand Prix SA, and a client of hers, were mugged as she dropped him at his Durban beachfront hotel, near where the race is to be staged.
"It was a nightmare and I was very shaken, but the police were really great," Ross was quoted as saying.
Both lost their cellphones, money and cards, and the car keys.
Dana Cooper, the chief executive of A1 GP Team SA, told the Daily News that the mugging incident was unfortunate, particularly as there had not been a single incident in 2006.

Double-murder: Escapee caught
Durban - A 21-year-old fugitive who escaped from Paddock police station while awaiting trial on two murder charges was rearrested on Sunday night after two weeks on the run, said KwaZulu-Natal police.
Superintendent Zandra Hechter said Wade Schoeman was arrested in Benoni on Sunday night after police on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast had received a tip-off.
Schoeman escaped with three others on January 29. Another escapee was arrested later. The other two are still on the run.
Schoeman's mother, Debbie Venter, 46, was suspected of helping him escape, apparently by smuggling a metal saw blade in a bottle in to him at the police station.
She was arrested at the beginning of the month by the organised crime unit and was released on bail.
Hechter said Schoeman was due to appear in Port Shepstone magistrate's court on Tuesday on charges of escaping from custody.
'Robbing and killing'
Schoeman is accused of robbing and killing Edwin Jeffrey White, 76, in Durban, on June 2 last year, while staying at White's home.
He allegedly stabbed White in the chest and hit him on the head with a golf club and an ashtray, before fleeing in White's car with a television set, a cellphone and cash.
Two days later, Schoeman apparently killed 45-year-old Jonathan Clyde Durant with a hammer in Port Shepstone.
Durant's car, his television set, his cellphone and cash were stolen.
White's car was later found abandoned in Point Road in Durban.

Please spread this all over the world, maybe it will help!
“The Night of the Long Knives”.
UHURU/”Night of the Longknives” is something that touches the lives of all
the white citizens of South Africa. For all who are not acquainted with this
movement, UHURU is a bloodthirsty group action planned against all white
people in South Africa, by certain elements in the NOW RULING government
and the Communist party.
UHURU is also known as “Operation Vula”/”Operation White Clean-up”/
”Operation Iron Eagle”/”Red October campaign”. This is planned to happen
upon the death of Mandela, on “Our Rainy Day”, where groups of thousands
of heavily armed black men will be transported to the larger cities in South
Africa in the “bus taxis” to cut electrical and telephone lines, and go on a
killing rampage. The black men in smaller towns will do the same. They
are planning to kill as many whites as they can find. They are planning to
take over the country, and divide all properties belonging to white South
Africans amongst the black people.
In 1990 Mandela paid a visit to Russia , where the Kremlin gave him a complete
laid out plan to put into action after his death. The Plan is known by the names
given above. The Plan was for Africans from the North to settle in and around
the larger cities. This happened after De Klerk opened the boundaries of South
Africa to the entire Northern African continent.
In 1997 black people were notified that the trigger for this massive operation
would be on the death of their beloved Madiba. [Mandela]
The Army will react under “Operation Iron Eagle”. Last year there was a group
of the younger blacks that decided they didn’t want to wait any longer. The
“bus taxi” drivers only stopped them. The taxi drivers had painted on the back
of their taxi windows. WAIT! NOT YET UHURU.
A white policeman in the Cape confronted a black policeman about “Operation
White Clean-up”. He was told that the black people didn’t care that all the whites
in South Africa knew about it, because there is absolutely nothing they can do
to stop it. The white policeman realized that this statement was so very true.
There basically is nothing they can do unless the USA and Britain steps in to help
WILL THEY? AMERICA AND BRITAIN ARE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SUDAN!!!!!!!!!! KNOW THAT ONLY GOD CAN HELP.
When Mzukisi Gaba, the ANC advice giver, was arrested for drunken driving,
told the officer: “The day Mandela dies we will kill you whites like flies”.
This was published in the “Cape Argus” in 1996
“The war of the “flee” is being fought against the white ranch owners of South
Africa. During 1991 to 2002 they killed 1,287 ranchers. Ranchers and their
families are living in fear. They have 15’ electrified fences surrounding their
homesteads. Even this doesn’t deter the killings.
Mandela is at this time being treated for prostate cancer, and it is thus
believed that it will not be long before this UHURU will take place.
The government is also now implementing a very stringent law, directed at the
whites in South Africa. It is a new weapons law, prohibiting whites from owning
guns etc. South Africa has larger problems than most realize. You only have to
look at the Way the African Union is being formed. Thabo Mbeke’s “African
Renaissance” is one example of how they plan for whites in the land to be extinguished.
There is no country that has “Citizen Pride” anymore. Money, and mineral
riches has become the God of the World.
South Africa , after enjoying 13 years of democracy, still blames the Whites
and want to eliminate all whites from the land.
Blacks are buying up Panga’s, as many as 38.000 have been sold recently, to
repeat what happened in Kenia and the Congo so many years ago. In the
north of South Africa , many ranchers can hear the battle drums of the blacks
South Africa needs prayer like never before. The People, black and white,
need to find the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him their Savior. We need to
pray for God’s peace, not a man-made peace, be made manifest in the land.
PLEASE PRAY FOR SOUTH AFRICA. SOUTH AFRICA NEEDS GOD THE FATHER,
JESUS THE CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BE IN CONROL.
PLEASE SEND THIS TO AS MANY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS AND CLERGY
AS YOU CAN, TO INFORM THEM OF THE NEAD FOR PRAYER WARRIORS
FOR THAT LAND. WE ARE IN THE END TIMES. SOUTH AFRICANS NEED
TO REPENT. THEY NEED GOD. THIS IS VERY PREVELANT, JUST LIKE IT
READS IN Ps 118.
