The pair, aged 35 and 39, faced charges of attempted murder, corruption and armed robbery, Lieutenant General Solomon Makgale said. The Star reported on Tuesday that one of the officers unclipped his gun, raised his voice and told the child: "If you don't keep quiet, I'll shoot you." She had started to cry when the officer asked her mother for a bribe, after the woman told him she did not have a driving licence. According to the report, when the woman said she did not have money, the officer took between R80 and R90 in change out of the ashtray in the car. The second officer was allegedly making remarks in the background and was holding his firearm in the presence of the woman and child, Makgale said. The woman then reportedly drove off and told her parents about the incident and together with her father, they returned to the scene. When the officers noticed the woman's car, they initially drove off. However, the woman and her father followed the officers and they eventually got out of the car. Asked about the incident, the officer admitted to threatening the child and said he did so to keep her quiet. The two were arrested on Tuesday.- SAPA Two arrested for Langlaagte looting2015-01-28 08:23 (Nielen de Klerk, News24)Multimedia · User Galleries · News in PicturesSend us your pictures · Send us your stories Related Links Govt must prosecute xenophobic violence - SonkeLooting spreads to Alexandra, LanglaagtePolice: Looting in Langlaagte, 2 shot deadJohannesburg - Two men have been arrested in connection with the looting of a Somalian-owned shop in Langlaagte, south of Johannesburg, at the weekend, Gauteng police said on Wednesday. "We arrested two people on Monday who were in possession of a gearbox which was from a vehicle owned by the foreign national whose spaza shop was looted on Sunday night in Langlaagte," Lieutenant General Solomon Makgale said. On Sunday, two people who were part of a group that went to the shop with an intention to loot it were shot and killed. A building next to the shop was set alight, Makgale said on Monday. During the commotion, shots were fired and the two men were killed. A case of arson and murder was being investigated, he said. No reported incidents of looting had taken place over Tuesday night. 180 arrested thus far The number of people arrested in connection with the looting and violence across Gauteng now stood at 180, Makgale said. The unrest, which spread from Soweto last week to Kagiso on the West Rand, Sebokeng in the Vaal, Eden Park in Ekurhuleni and Alexandra, north of Johannesburg, has been labelled by some as xenophobic. It was sparked by the shooting of 14-year-old Siphiwe Mahori last Monday. Mahori had allegedly been part of a group who allegedly tried to rob a shop kept by Somali national Alodixashi Sheik Yusuf on Monday. He was shot dead when Yusuf allegedly shot at the group. The shooting was followed by a wave of looting of foreign-owned and run shops causing several deaths, including a baby who was trampled by a group of people running.- SAPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigvan07 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi Dapora, No, it must've come across wrong. It is a general reference. It can apply to any country. Not aimed at anyone specific. I will edit it to say a society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
