Racism delegates robbed at gunpoint
September 08 2001 at 02:47PM
The foreign minister of Chad, Mianzogo Thomas Altouzm, and two other delegates from Chad were robbed at gunpoint in Kempton Park on Friday night, police said on Saturday.
They were on their way home from the World Conference Against Racism in Durban.
Inspector Nomsa Sekele of North Rand police said that the three had booked into a Kempton Park hotel for one night before departing for their home country.
They were dropped off at the Villa Pascalia at 8pm on Friday night. As they were offloading their belongings, four men armed with handguns and a rifle held up the victims and took their luggage and wallets.
Inside their luggage were their passports and airline tickets. The armed men left without firing a shot. The value of the stolen goods was estimated to be approximately R2 000. - Sapa

"the three had booked into a Kempton Park hotel for one night before departing for their home country. Robbery will be mild compared to the AIDS they could pick up at the party.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.
I hope they will forego feelings of revenge and look to the deep underlying causes of crime!
LOL!

This cannot be described as a robbery if both the so-called perpetrators and victims were black.
After all, as we have all learned, slavery is not slavery if both owner and slave are black....

This was in South Africa, right?
Har! What a toilet that place has become in the past few years! And it's only getting worse by the day.
(Is there such a thing as a "fourth world country", lol?
Wasn't South Africa well on its way to becoming civilized not too many years ago?

That's about as silly as this:

Hmmm..... was a blonde Nordic type named Ragnar seen fleeing the scene? Depends-if they were carrying their cash in Krugerrands,old Ragnar might have been the culprit. If memory serves,he was a pretty bright guy who only dealt with hard currency. lol-I'd have to be pretty desperate to hold up someone knowing that the loot was going to be in the form of CFE Francs,or Piastres,or the like.
