S.Africa: German tourist shot dead in Mpumalanga, tourism organisations condemn incident – My Comments
(:E-:N-:R-AZ:C-30:V)
[Many years ago the Liberals who owned tourist companies in South Africa kept going crazy and saying that South Africa was a safe place to come to when people like myself were telling the truth. Since then, most of the LIBERALS have left South Africa and the rest of us People live in this crime hell that Liberals and Liberals said would be SAFE!!! There was even a super-rich Liberal woman, Helen Suzman, who said that we don't even need FIREARMS! The lying bitch! So sadly, we see a German killed here in SA for no reason. I always caution People from America and Europe to be careful. This is an easy place for People, especially tourists, to be robbed and murdered. In this case there was a group of Germans and hopefully they will return to Germany and warn other Germans about South Africa. I'm very sorry to see that a German had to die here for nothing. Life is cheap in Africa. Jan]
A German tourist was shot dead in Mpumalanga on Monday.
He was one of four tourists who were travelling to a lodge when they were accosted by a group of armed men.
After the shooting, the car reversed and crashed into a school wall.
A group of German tourists’ trip to Mpumalanga turned tragic when one of them was shot dead by armed men.
Police spokesperson, Brigadier Selvy Mohlala, said the four tourists were accosted by armed men in a VW Caddy on Monday afternoon. He said the tourists were travelling in a Hyundai H1 on Numbi Road in River, and were en route to Numbi Gate at Mdluli Safari Lodge.
The attackers instructed the tourists to open the vehicle doors. The driver instead locked all the doors and was shot in the upper body through the window.
Mohlala said the tourists’ car reversed about 100 metres before crashing into a school wall.
"Unfortunately, the driver died on the spot as a result of the shooting. The suspects reportedly sped off in their vehicle without taking anything from the tourists."
Mohlala said police were investigating a case of murder.
Mpumalanga police commissioner, Lieutenant General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela, condemned the attack.
"This is really cruel and uncalled for, given the economic challenges that our country is facing. When one has tourists, it means the tourism sector is benefitting in a way, which in turn gives a boost to our struggling economy.
"We call on our good citizens who might have seen or heard anything about these criminals or the VW Caddy they were driving to come forward, and we promise to swiftly act so that they are brought to justice."
The tourism sector has also condemned the murder. In a statement, South African Tourism and the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA) said crime was one of the top concerns for tourists planning to come to the country.
"We wish to express our sympathy and extend our support to the family and friends who have had such a devastating experience in our country. South Africans are welcoming people, and this criminal behaviour is inconsistent with our warm and welcoming spirit, which is our innate way of life.
South African Tourism acting CEO Themba Khumalo said:
The protection of all tourists is immensely important to us, and therefore we continue to consult the South African Police Service and all related authorities in this regard.
"Violence against tourists is equivalent to economic crimes such as stealing copper cables and gold, and something must be done urgently," TBCSA’s Tshifhiwa Tshivhengwa said.
The two organisations said they would meet the security cluster to discuss the safety of tourists before the festive season.
Video & Audio: The Liberal Anthem for all Free Masons, Liberals and Fools
I take a serious and also fun look at music. We look closely at a song and dance from a massive Liberal Hollywood event and what exactly it means? I also look at Liberals with mediocre and sub-standard talent and how they rise higher in Hollywood and the USA.
Video: 2nd Anglo-Boer War: The British Atrocities against the Boers
The 2nd Anglo Boer war is probably the only war where CHILDREN were the main victims by far! In this video we take a look at the dirty war that the British Army engaged in, in order to crush a tiny army of Dutch-German Farmers (the Boers) here in Africa. We look at photographs and information from that time. We also look at the role of the British Rothschilds and Liberals in this war.
Video: 1970: Angola: Incredible Portuguese mother beats Person terrorists in a gunfight
In this video I discuss two feats of courage by civilians during war in southern Africa. The one is a feat by a 16 year old boy, and the other, much more incredible story is what a 28 year old Portuguese mother did in Angola.
