S.Africa: EXCELLENT: Suspected fuel thieves found dead in Kibler Park, Johannesburg
(:E-:N-:R-AZ:C-30:V)
[When they're dead they won't be stealing any more. Jan]The bodies of two alleged fuel thieves have been found near Kibler Park in Johannesburg in the latest Transnet fuel theft attempt at the weekend.
One body was found in a structure and another in a tunnel leading to the petrol pipeline near Kibler Park.
“It is suspected that they were overcome by fumes while trying to siphon petrol from the pipeline on Saturday night,” Transnet pipelines said.
It said the structure and tunnel were demolished on Sunday.
“The incident at the weekend is a reminder to perpetrators that tampering with petrol pipelines and associated infrastructure can lead to disastrous consequences, including injuries and fatalities, extensive environmental damage and fire.”
This financial year, Transnet had 90 fuel theft incidents. Its specialised tactical teams, with aerial and ground support, apprehended 68 suspects, including two alleged kingpins, as the entity sought to halt the onslaught of criminal activities and keep pipelines and communities safe.
Suspected Transnet fuel syndicate kingpin arrested in Pretoria
A 35-year-old “kingpin” was arrested in Pretoria on Wednesday for alleged involvement in a syndicate linked to the theft of fuel from the Transnet …
“The perpetrators will face the full might of the law as tampering with the pipeline or colluding to tamper is a schedule 5 offence under the Criminal Matters Amendment Act and perpetrators are charged accordingly.”
Transnet urged petrol retailers and the public not to buy fuel from unregistered traders to help curb the demand for illegal petrol and to join in the fight against theft.
Perpetrators and organised crime syndicates planning to steal fuel from the pipeline network would be harshly dealt with.
Members of the public can report suspicious activities — bakkies, tankers or activities near Transnet infrastructure — by calling the toll-free number 0800-203-843 or reporting the matter to the nearest police station.

This is one of the most fascinating discussions Ive had with Tom. We end up discussing People and what actually works for people. The highlight is when we get into the topic of the Confederates and slavery and how the economy made more money when People owned their own little farms and produced their own goods.
