Gavin Emmanuel The underworld of drugs and human trafficking have infiltrated Pretoria. This comes after an electronics shop in Soutter Street in Pretoria West was reportedly robbed last week Sunday. Police later discovered that it was in fact a drug related clash. The clash resulted in a shoot-out that left one of the suspects wounded. The suspect later dumped his vehicle, that was full of bullet holes, at Fountains Valley south of Botha Avenue in Centurion. According to police reports six wellknown gangsters from Johannesburg got into an argument with members of a notorious Pakistani crime syndicate who owns the electronics shop in Pretoria West. According to police reports, Jason Domingues, a former bouncer and confidante of Czech billionaire and fugitive, Radovan Krejcir, was wounded in the shoot-out. Krejcir is linked to the murder of nightclub owner, Lolly Jackson,. According to police spokesperson, Colonel Lungelo Dlamini, investigations led them to Bedfordview in Johannesburg, where Domingues was arrested. “Police found a Toyota Hilux full of bullet holes and bloodstains abandoned at Fountains Valley. After running the registration number, police caught up with Domingues at a house in Bryanston where he was arrested,” said Dlamini. The case was brought to the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Monday, but was struck off the roll pending further investigation. Dlamini added that the leader of the Pakistani crime syndicate, suspected of shooting Domingues, is allegedly involved in an international web of drug smuggling and human trafficking.

Protestors march for freedom Valeska Abreu and Gavin Emmanuel Scores of protestors participated in the ANCYL march on Friday morning, despite some of them being angry with their leader, Julius Malema. Some protestors refused to march to the Union Buildings, because of sleeping in the cold while it was believed that Malema slept at a fancy hotel. “We were promised a good breakfast this morning, but all we got were rolls. We are tired and hungry,” said a disgruntled protestor. When Malema arrived at the Caledo nian stadium on Friday morning, he called the masses for their ‘appointment at the Union Buildings’. Some delayed the process of joining the march because of their grievances with Malema, but by the time the procession reached Beatrix Street there were thousands of them singing and chanting. The march was part of a two-day process that started in Johannesburg where memorandums were handed to the Chamber of Mines and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and ended with their last memorandum handed over to newly appointed Public Works Minister, Thulas Nxesi, at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. The protestors, together with the leadership of ANCYL, waited for over an hour in the scorching heat as Malema refused to hand over the memorandum to any Director General. “We do not want to hand over the memorandum to any ordinary government employee, we prefer a minister or deputy minister,” said Malema. Malema further told protestors that if a minister is not available at the Union Buildings, they must phone them and they can come to the Union Buildings in a jiffy as they are driven in blue light

vehicles. There was also a heavy presence of the country’s elite crime fighting unit, the special task force, at the Union Buildings. Malema thanked the protestors for their good behaviour after the memorandum was handed over and dismissed the crowds, adding that people expected the
march to be violent. “Comrades, you have disappointed a whole number of people with your top-class behaviour. People expected our march to be violent and the same people who kept on saying that, are people who can’t even organise themselves a birthday party of 20 people,” said Malema.
