Soldiers Threaten Retaliation Against Police
27 Aug 2009
"Soldiers" who demonstrated outside the Union Buildings on Wednesday have threatened to retaliate after police opened fire on them with stun grenades and rubber bullets. A protest against working conditions and low salaries turned ugly with running battles between the two "security forces". One "soldier", who would not give his name, said the "police" would regret their actions. "We are going to turn every street into a battlefield because we have been shot at by police. We are going to arm and we're going to repeat what they've done".
The Tshwane metro "police" say the action by law enforcement agencies was completely within their rights as the Union Buildings are a national key point which has to be protected at all costs. Over three thousand striking SANDF members marched to the Union Buildings to protest apparently low salaries for army personnel. All of them were on AWOL, dressed in civvies. The Union Buildings is for obvious reasons considered a key national security point just like the White House or Capitol complex in Washington.
SA "police" members refused to allow the rowdy, out-of-control SANDF "soldiers" access to the Union Buildings, which refusal erupted things into a full-blown war. "Soldiers" tried to force the gates open and then scaled the fences to get in. They started pelting "cops" with rocks, bottles and bricks, and vandalised cars and breaking windows. "Cops" then opened fire with rubber bullets, teargas and a water cannon. The "soldiers" then hurled petrol bombs. [in true APLA/MK terrorist fashion] They pounced on a army vehicle and tried to get hold of an R5 automatic rifle but couldn't get it and firebombed the vehicle with Molotov cocktails. Great advert for 2010 ! Now you know why all the Whites left the military.
It was complete chaos and mayhem, with SA National Defence Force "soldiers" being chased around and fired on by SA "Police" Service members – all of this happening at our symbolic seat of government, of all places ! Can you imagine US Marines chimping out like this in front of the Capitol, White House or Pentagon ? True africoonism I tell you !
