[schumi]

Police are investigating the murder of a Mpumalanga woman who was shot and killed, and the attempted murder of her brother who was thrown out of a moving taxi near Witbank.

On Friday, Brigadier Leonard Hlathi told News24 the siblings had taken a taxi from Johannesburg and made it to Witbank. According to reports, they had both spent the day at job interviews in Gauteng.

"[While in Witbank] They then boarded a taxi with the view of going back home to Carolina [Mpumalanga]. There were a few men in the taxi with them. Instead of going to Carolina, the taxi rerouted. According to the brother, some of the men then produced firearms. The brother was then thrown out of the moving taxi," Hlathi said.

There are claims on twitter that they were hitch-hiking when a minibus stopped and offered them a lift.

Another reason why we need CCTV infrastructure everywhere. Bring crime to the light.

Time for some community justice when the perps are caught and found guilty.

No, it will literally usher in a new apartheid South Africa.

Smart CCTV Networks Are Driving an AI-Powered Apartheid in South Africa

In one of the world’s most racially divided countries, a company called Vumacam is building a nationwide surveillance network that scrutinizes peoples' movements for “unusual behavior.”

So while I don’t disagree that there is a bias with the surveillance.. it’s also a window against bias. You see this in December-January crime.. hijackers in malls consciously dress up so that they blend in.

If they really are targeting people of color only.. you will find white criminals abusing this loophole. lmfao.. this is like that investment advisor everyone at the church swears by till the entire community loses it all

Reminds me.. Pokémon Go players were harassed initially till our number plates seem to be tagged or something haha. I guess it is suspicious that a random group people park and sit outside a complex and then leave in a group and go on complex to the next every few weeks hahahaha. But again.. socioeconomic & racial grouping must’ve confused the **** out of them. Groups I’ve played have all been extremely diverse.

Go out to try and get a job instead of living off hand outs, gets killed. Nice things we have on our planet.

Hopefully they die a horrible slow death
