South African police find weapons bound for Somalia pirate hunters
2010-12-28
Please note for future reference: the article from the Jerusalem Post, but written by Ay Pee. So we don't carry the text, regardless of the web source. Summary with Besoeker's in-lines, below.

Apparently an anti-piracy force is being trained in Somalia. South African police raided a house near Durban and seized guns meant for the controversial program.
"Controversial program" only if you are an Soviet or Cuban trained ANC politician who failed to get his cut of the contract.
According to the police, four people were arrested, two of them foreigners.
Thank you SAPS for your continued support of the GWOT. We always know you will come through when the chips are down.

#2  Apparently an anti-piracy force is being trained in Somalia.

The latest anti-piracy training contractor (Saracen) is based in Lebanon, but some of its senior executives are former SADF. It'd be logical then to assume that some, if not most, of the trainers are former SADF and SAP as well.

Apparently the ANC is still quite nervous about coup attempts.

#1  Remember this, South Africa is owned by the ANC and is heading down the same road as Zimbabwe. The ANC was just smarter than Mugabe and is slowly turning up the heat in the pot, so that the Afrikaaner and English frogs don't jump out, but get cooked instead. If all of the Afrikaaners and English bail on South Africa, its economy grinds to a halt and it is unable to feed itself.
