Eyewitness News has learnt as many as five people may have been murdered and nine women raped at a drunk and violent spring day party this weekend.

Around 10,000 people converged on the Derdepoort recreation resort on Saturday, with only 10 Tshwane metro police officers deployed to the area.

An official report on the incident and exclusive pictures of the injured has been obtained by Eyewitness News.

The photographs show three men lying in a pool of blood with their flesh slashed open, apparently with broken bottles.

A Tshwane metro police report said five people may have been murdered, but because the ambulance service did not respond to calls, the dead were removed by private vehicles.

In the report, Tshwane metro police's superintendent Dirk Lombard, claimed the South African Police Service did not respond to calls for back-up.

When officers attempted to stop people entering the premises, the situation almost turned violent.

The Tshwane Municipality said it was preparing a response to questions.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that poor planning and inadequate resources contributed to the chaos.

Tshwane's recent municipal amalgamation with Kungwini placed the resort under a new policing region. The new region had no experience with the annual event.

The report said resources in the city were channeled to Moreleta Park in Mamelodi where the mayor was apparently attending a jazz festival.
 
Wow. "The dead were removed by private vehicles"....

Shocking reporting though, since when is Moreleta Park in Mamelodi?? Did they go to Johannesburg in Zimbabwe afterwards?

What. The. ****. "Did not respond to calls", as in didn't answer the phone?!
 
hmmm based on the amount of ambulances at every accident I have driven past in Tshwane their response is very good. They are private though, I think. Maybe they tried to phone state ambulances, if these exist.
 
I blame this Tshwane's recent municipal amalgamation with Kungwini placed the resort under a new policing region. The new region had no experience with the annual event.

What freakin savages :mad:

Do the police/ambulance/fire brigade still answer their phones in Durban?

They don't in Pretoria. This is standard practice.

Last week there was a huge fire at a property two blocks from the fire brigade and they couldn't have cared less. When they finally arrived, the damage was done.

If they said silverlakes I could have said oke maybe.. even fairyglen and maybe garsfontein. Somebody obviously does not know its ass from its head. Weird.

It could not have been the whole city's police! Stupid reporting. I'm sure even though kungwini now falls in Tshwane the police from Kungwini still has to respond to situations in their area?

Garsfontein police station has an area, They respond in the area. Not in PTA North .
 
Eish... Pretoria, what the hell is wrong with people there? :D

Agreed on the shoddy reporting... let's speculate whether people were or were not murdered rather than phoning hospitals to confirm this.

Well I wrote a thank you note to the police after being burgled two weeks ago, they were at the house with in 10 min of the call that was placed at 10111. And when they got there they gave me the sectional policing’s cell number the lady said they can be at my house even quicker if I use that number.
The next day the station commander (a lady again) the investigation officer and the fingerprint people were all at my house before one.


And no I do not live in a larney house worth millions.
 
They had the local SAPS spokesman on 702 this morning and he disputed that there were any murders because there were no bodies from there in the morgue. WTF??? They only acknowledge that there's been a murder if a body is in the morgue?

If someone is murdered, isn't that where they generally go? Or do you think these chaps just tossed the bodies out onto the side of the N1 on their way home?
 
Alcohol as with narcotics, should be banned and deemed an illegal substance!

A doctor has to declare a person dead on site then the morgue has to remove the body. And yes or else we end up with people waking up in morgues because the people on site thought they were dead.

Let's see now: Thousands of people, most planning left in the hands of the people attending the event, copious amounts of alcohol, inadequate resources.
Sounds like Oppikoppi to me.

Must be why Oppikoppi turns into a murderous bloodbath every year.
Oh wait... :rolleyes:

Typical TIA mentality, blame the organizers, blame the alcohol, blame the ambulance service, blame the government, blame anything or anyone you want, just don't dare call the people responsible for this mess in the first place derogatory terms like "monkey" or troglodite, because that would just be way too politically incorrect.
