    Default Looters taking over shooting range - Pta

    My apologies for the Afrikaans, could not find the Article in English

    Plakkers neem skietbaan oor
    Skuts én plakkers is beswaard omdat die weermag die kragtoevoer na sy pistoolskietbaan in Eeufeesweg, Pretoria, weens onwettige kragkoppelings afgesny het.
    Dit het meegebring dat verskeie kampioenskappe en skietbyeenkomste gekanselleer of met groot moeite aangebied is.
    Terselfdertyd het dit boonop gevaarlik geword om in die omgewing te skiet omdat plakkers op die terrein rondbeweeg.
    Skuts het die laaste tyd met groot ontsteltenis per epos met mekaar oor die probleem gekommunikeer om ’n oplossing te probeer vind, veral omdat daar klaarblyklik niks van die weermag se kant gedoen word om die plakkers te verwyder nie.
    Die plakkers het gesê van hulle bly reeds byna tien jaar lank daar en het dus “verblyfreg”. Dis die “onwettige” plakkers, wat nou ook daar ingetrek het, wat die kabels onwettig gekoppel het.
    In Maart het die Suid-Afrikaanse Pistoolskietvereniging sy kampioenskap met kragopwekkers daar aangebied.
    Vroeg in Mei moes die meesterskampioenskap op die baan weens die kragprobleme gekanselleer word.
    Rommel en die smerige omgewing maak die skietbaan ook toenemend onooglik en volgens skuts is dit allermins ’n advertensie vir die weermag.
    Brig.genl. Xolani Mabanga, woordvoerder van die weermag, het gesê die militêre skietklub is nou aangesê om kragopwekkers as tussentydse maatreël beskikbaar te stel wanneer skietaktiwiteite daar gehou word. Volgens hom is die kragtoevoer afgesny nadat die onwettige kragverbindings tydens ’n beroepsgesondheidsinspeksie opgemerk is.
    Samesprekings is daarna tussen die weermag en die Tshwane-metroraad se kragafdeling gehou. Hul aanbeveling was dat die krag afgesny moet word om te verhinder dat iemand doodgeskok en daar teen die weermag geëis word.
    Volgens Mabanga mag die weermag die plakkers nie van die gebied afgooi voordat hy ’n uitsettingsbevel in die hooggeregshof bekom het nie.

    Can you imagine the kak if you accidentally blaas a squatter that was having a veltie behind a tree.

    Well this isn’t surprizing. I like how no one takes any responsibility for anything. Squatters say they should be allowed to stay there permanently and it’s the new guys stealing the power; Army just shrug their shoulders. Round and round and round we go, where it stops, who the f*ck knows.

    Well if you want to go play in the rain, you shouldn’t cry if you get wet. Would’ve been nice if they’d trespass on the artillery grounds though.

    Well, all shooting has now officialy been suspended at the Pretoria Eeufees range until such time the issue regarding the squaters have been investigated.

    Therefore, one can safely assume that there would be no further shooting at this range for the rest of the year.....
