 Pilot Attie van Schalkwyk robbed at gunpoint by two Pretoria-West cops with a R5 military-assault rifle...
June 29 2008 PRETORIA. Commercial pilot Attie van Schalkwyk, 32, of Hartbeespoort was pulled over on Church Street in Pretoria-West enroute home from the Johannesburg airport near Kempton Park at 10pm. The two uniformed police officers inside police vehicle then pointed a R5 military assault rifle at him, accused him of 'drunken driving', said he was arrested -- and then forced him to withdraw large amounts of cash at two cash points nearby which they took for themselves. They took no breathaliser- or blood-tests. The powerful South African-designed R5 military assault rifle is not issued to any members of the SA Police nor any metropolitian police forces - it is solely used by the military. The Afrikaner pilot ran for his life, jumping out at a stop-sign on a turn-off to the black township of Atteridgeville he was being driven to. He and his wife have now placed formal robbery charges at the Hartbeespoort police station and the Police Inspectorate has also been informed. Investigations are ongoing against the two Pretoria-West police officers, who claim the Afrikaner pilot had been 'drunk'. And his attorney Wilhelm Mundt went to the Pretoria-West police station the next day, getting Van Schalkwyk's confiscated car returned. Mundt says that the two police officers who had robbed him at gunpoint, claim that they are 'investigating a charge of drunk driving' against the Afrikaner pilot - although no blood tests were taken and he also was not asked to blow into a breath analyser during his 'arrest'. The police have returned Van Schalkwyk's car-keys to his lawyer. Van Schalkwyk says he now fears for his life and believes the Pretoria-West cops and their comrades would not hesitate to take revenge.

'Jack-booted state-violence' slammed by Dutch author who was caught up in Stellenbosch police raids targetting Afrikaner students. http://www.depers.nl/buitenland/181140/De-jonge-democratie.html  March 16 2008 - The author of Dutch bestsellers such as "Joe Speedboot' and "RTL Boulevard' writes in the Dutch magazine Privé, published by the Telegraaf newspaper: http://www.telegraaf.nl/multimedia/archive/00164/tommy_164858d.jpg
"The (SA police) show up with automatic guns and shoot into the ceiling - three shots altogether -- and say: "Lie down sir, lie down', Wierenga told the publication. "Those secret agents stormed the student bar filled with revellers as if they were terrorists. Some were sprayed with pepper-spray, some are assaulted and abused. "One woman was dragged out of the bar by her hair. Scores of people complained about this police brutality.' He was visiting one of the Stellenbosch Afrikaner-student haunts after he had read from his work at the annual Afrikaans literary fest, Woordfees at the nearby theatre. They found a mere 150g of dagga (marihuana).
He described how some students had just sat there, terrified and blank-faced, but wanting to believe that it was all just a joke. See videos :
