Be vigilant! Criminals won’t be taking holidays – Farm attacks, murders, rapes, home invasions will still be taking place and you can be the next statistic

Posted on 04/12/2019 Leave a comment

This is a call to awareness for all South Africans. The Holidays are here, it is time to rest and have a break. But Oorgrens Veiligheid wishes to remind you to remain vigilant. Even when you’re going in holiday or camping in the bush. The enemy sadly is not going on holiday.

Do you feel his foul breath in your neck? Not? Feel again! Far too often we read that during farm attacks people were tied up and could only call for help well after the attack and that the farm murder victims couldn’t or didn’t make alarm in time.

And we read too little that farm attacks were averted or that attackers have been arrested.

What will your story be? If You’re staying, truth is, according to statistics you have a certain percent chance of being attacked. And someone will write your story.

Ask yourself today. Do you have enough lines of defense in place to buy yourself some, even 10 or 15 minutes before your Attackers get to you? And what shall the quickest response

Van Reenen up in flames- traffic came to a halt after explosion on the famous route

Posted on 03/12/2019 Leave a comment

Motorists had to wait for hours before they could just pass through the famous Van Reenen from the Tugela Plaza due to a severe crisis.

A fire occurred due to a technical error that left a tanker in flames, but which also spread to an additional towing tank that was filled with diesel.

The danger of huge explosions caused that no vehicle passed through the scene, and motorists was patiently waiting until everything subsided, a requirement for all.

On Monday, the cleaning process took hours to clear, and motorists were advised to use an alternative route that would mean many miles of detour.

Later, one lane was opened for traffic in both directions of the N3, but it took a long time before the traffic flow returned to normal.

However, unconfirmed reports say that another truck crashed into the tanker causing the fire, but the vehicle made it escape without being able to determine who its owners are.

Posted on 03/12/2019 Leave a comment

’n Brand het weens ’n tegniese fout ontstaan wat die tenkwa in ligte laaie gelaat het, maar wat ook versprei het na die aanhaak tenk wat saamgesleep was en met diesel brandstof gevul was.

Die gevaar van reuse ontploffings het veroorsaak dat geen voertuig die toneel kon verbysteek nie, en was geduldige wag tot alles bedaar het ’n vereiste vir almal.

Maandag het dit die skoonmaakproses ure lank geneem om op te ruim, en motoriste is aangeraai om van ’n alternatiewe roete gebruik te maak wat baie kilometers ompad beteken.

Later is een rybaan in beide rigtings van die N3 vir verkeer oopgestel, maar dit het nog lank geduur voordat die verkeersvloei na normaal teruggekeer het.

Onbevestigde berigte lui egter dat ’n ander vragmotor teen die tenkwa gebots het wat die brand laat ontstaan het, maar die voertuig het gemaak

Holidaymakers will now have to pay more for that long-awaited holiday due to rise in fuel prices

Posted on 03/12/2019 Leave a comment

The holiday has already begun for many, and will have to pay more for petrol and less for diesel from Wednesday.

Petrol increases by R0-11 per liter for 93 as well as for 95 degrees, but diesel decreases in price by R0-18 and paraffin decreases by Ro-21 for December month.

Economic experts say the rise in gasoline prices, and the slight drop in diesel and paraffin prices, could be attributed to the weak Rand, which just failed to return to its levels two years ago.

The City of Pretoria literally experienced a black Friday after two cash trucks were robbed

Posted on 03/12/2019 Leave a comment

In Pretoria’s western area, at the Kit Kat Plaza, a cash van was robbed and at least one security officer was wounded in the incident.

The armed robbers did not hesitate to pull the trigger and took off with an unknown amount.

A police spokesman says one suspect fled in an ambulance,

On the same day, a second money van was pulled down by three armed villains about 50 kilometers north of Pretoria, on the N1 near Hammanskraal.

The wagon was forced by another vehicle to stop by driving into it, after which the gunmen acted.

The incidents were later described by a reader as still being a Black Friday event, because a lot of money was carried away by a small number of armed thieves.

Several people expressed the opinion that the two robberies were probably carried out by the same team of thieves, and that they had inside information.

ANC’s failed Medupi not only poorly erected, but also poses great dangers to man, animal and environment due to toxic gases released

Posted on 03/12/2019 Leave a comment

The Madupi power plant approved by the ANC regime to be erected is not only an economic disaster, but also poses the danger of harming human lives.

The power plant is not only poorly erected but took years to be finalized and still cannot deliver its full capacity.

Madupi was constructed differently from the conventional power plants, and is described as the “new dry-cooled” coal power station.

When the power station is complete and at full capacity, it will be the world’s largest “dry-cooled” power station.

Economists and environmental experts have already warned that doing 2020 off the country’s biggest coal power plant could lead to serious financial as well as climate disasters still seen in SA.

Experts say Madupi will become one of the country’s biggest dangers to people and the environment with its poisonous gases being emitted, and will also be the largest entity in terms of air and environmental pollution that will endanger thousands of peopl

Motor giant Ford must fork out millions of Rands after Kuga model endangered human lives

Posted on 03/12/2019 Leave a comment

The case, which has been pending against the Ford company since 2017, has now come to a final conclusion and it has been decided that the motor giant will have to fork out millions of Rands, according to a court finding.

The Ford company, which initially denied that its Kuga model contained serious and dangerous flaws, eventually had to admit that the vehicle imposes danger to human life.

The Ford Kuga 1.6 EcoBoost model that caught fire and caused one person’s death is considered by car owners as a sufficient reason to close the manufacturer’s doors in South Africa because no amount can compensate for the loss of one’s life.

Ford must pay R35m in fines in terms of the final outcome.

All owners whose cars have failed, must receive R50,000 in compensation, which in the experts’ opinion is a very unfair decision, as some owners have suffered far more than R60,000.

There is an option that Ford owners may continue to negotiate with the company if they are no
