South Africa: Using Only Pistols, Local Militia Stops 15 Armed Robbers with AK-47s Who Blew Up Armored Truck

On Thursday, 9/21, local farmer militiamen in South Africa stopped a gang of 15 armed robbers armed with AK-47s who had just robbed an armored car, killing the driver. The local volunteers apprehended the fugitives after a high-speed chase, including a dangerous Mozambican criminal wanted for murder of a police officer.

The robbery took place in Hoedspruit (Hat Springs) outside Polokwane in Limpopo Province, which were named Pietersburg and North Transvaal by the original settlers before the campaign to ethnically cleanse the Afrikaner language and culture from South Africa.

Heavily armed attacks on armored cars are so common in South Africa they are known as Cash-in-Transit heists (CIT).

“15 robbers armed with automatic rifles carried out a CIT heist in Hoedspruit, killing the Fidelity driver,“ reports YouTuber Willem Petzer

What can just a few brave men do with only pistols? Quite a bit it appears.

Call me cynical, but if any group tried that here they’ve be called vigilantes and given longer sentences than the robbers.

Well, maybe not in Texas.......

Especially when the thugs go spray and pray with probably poorly sighted AKs and don’t use cover.

I imagine the full auto AKs ended up with the cops. I would hope the militiamen got to keep them.

According to Democrats liberals progressives in the mainstream media, nothing can defeat somebody with an AK or AR.

Too bad they didn’t kill a few of the thieves.

Apparently they killed 4 of them.

Buy weapons and ammo. This happens in the cities in the US today and will eventually come to the small towns.

“stopped a gang of 15 armed robbers armed with AK-47s who had just robbed an armored car, killing the driver. “

“The robbery took place in Hoedspruit (Hat Springs) outside Polokwane in Limpopo Province, which were named Pietersburg and North Transvaal by the original settlers before the campaign to ethnically cleanse the Afrikaner language and culture from South Africa.”

.

Cleanse the Afrikaner language and culture?

I bet that armored car driver would think it to be a pretty good idea.

The rest of the volunteers were probably so pizzed at the “police” that ran away, the robbers were probably lucky the volunteers only killed 4 of them.

This kind of crap is what has had the local abbos running around with machetes and AKs screaming about killing off the Afrikaners.

If you're in California, don't buy more than 10 cartridges. You'll get accused of being a terrorist arms dealer. (Illegal aliens need not worry, only applies to citizens here.)

The militiamen had pistols with sight on the top of their pistols.

I honestly don’t understand our government at times. We opposed Apartheid when it was necessary to have that separation as the blacks in SA were primitive and couldn’t adjust to a functioning society. That’s all it was, there was nothing racist or sinister about it, after all the blacks came into SA after seeing how White settlers built it from scratch. When the Dutch arrived, the land was almost completely void of people.
