White Shop: Serving Secretly: An Intelligence Chief on Record Rhodesia into Zimbabwe 1964-1981
This is one of the most important books ever written about Rhodesia. This book is for the very serious students of Rhodesia. This was written by Ken Flower who was our top spy master. He was there from the beginning to the end.
[Here we see fascinating things that one did not expect. I am noticing that the blacks are the ones least able to handle the lockdowns. The lockdown is generally ok for whites. Whites just sit and work from home where possible. I spoke to a security company in my area. Their top guy told me that he's expecting crime to hit us AFTER LOCKDOWN. Lockdown is actually REDUCING CRIME MASSIVELY. You can watch the video at the source link below. Jan]
WATCH: Looting suspects caught, cops on high alert amid Cape Flats struggle
By Siphokazi Vuso, Odwa Mkentane 6h ago
Cape Town – Police have reinforced deployments at a number of areas on the Cape Flats after several burglaries, looting of grocery stores and public violence on Tuesday.
Police spokesperson Novela Potelwa said: “A group of about 16 suspects stormed a supermarket in Gatesville and threatened cashiers and took five cash registers with cash and groceries.
"Athlone police responded promptly and four suspects aged between 21 and 24 were arrested and some stolen items recovered.
“Meanwhile in Manenberg, large crowds took to the streets and broke into two wholesalers in the township, helping themselves to grocery items.
"Tracing operations by police to track the suspects and retrieve stolen items are currently under way,” said Potelwa.
She said public order police in Mitchells Plain dealt with sporadic protests in Tafelsig.

“Large crowds took to the streets in protest against food parcels distributed to some communities within the broader Mitchell’s Plain townships.
"Tyres were burnt, roads barricaded and police pelted with stones. Three suspects aged 16, 18 and 20 were arrested for public violence,” she said.
Potelwa said officers will remain at identified locations until calm is restored.
“Western Cape SAPS management is cautioning communities against criminal conduct. The police will not hesitate to take decisive action against those breaking the law.”

Subcouncil 12 chairperson Solomon Philander said people’s livelihoods in Tafelsig were impacted by the lockdown and they needed to be helped.
“We are aware that in Tafelsig, Eastridge and many other townships, people are living from hand to mouth. During this time, losing a means of income makes it difficult to survive.
"No ward councillor has a disaster fund to give relief to the community, this is the function of Sassa (SA Social Security Agency),” Philander said.
Sassa spokesperson Shivani Wahab said: “Sassa offices were closed since the lockdown, and this has posed a challenge for clients whose grants expired in March, and were therefore unable to reapply. These grants have a lifespan of 12 months.”

The clashes coincided with the postponement of court proceedings involving Emploweni residents in Khayelitsha, who face further demolition of their shacks.
Ndifuna Ukwazi organiser Nkosikhona Swartbooi said the Khayelitsha matter has been moved to tomorrow.
Residents are attempting to get an interdict to stop the City from tearing down their homes.
Mayco member for human settlements Malusi Booi said: “The law must follow its course as it pertains to any further legal actions in this regard.”

Video: What Adolf Hitler said about the Boers
I decided to look in Adolf Hitlers Mein Kampf (My Struggle) to see what he said about the Boers. Few know of his obsession with the Boers when he was a young man. In Mein Kampf I found many references which indicated that Hitler had a knowledge even of the black tribes that live in South Africa.
