South Africa: Using Only Pistols, Local Militia Stops 15 Armed Robbers with AK-47s Who Blew Up Armored Truck
2023-09-24
[Gateway] 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.

Try that in a klein dorpie (small town).
