Warrant Officer Kay Makhubela said they held a joint operation at 5am at a hotspot where metal theft, rape, and the dismantling of stolen cars was apparently taking place.

He said the horses, which were in "very bad condition", had been used by thieves to pull carts containing stolen metal and car parts. They were in the care of the SPCA.

Everything else on the site had been removed and the shelters there had been destroyed.

"The people present ran away when they saw police approaching," said Makhubela.

No arrests had been made and police were investigating, he said.

This has got to be a european initiative. Its not like there are any poor african human being in need of rescuing from the terrible conditions in Soweto is there?... The dictionary definition of a human being reads as thus..

[ A man, woman, or child of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other animals by superior mental development, power of articulate... ]

Notice that it says distinguished from other animals by superior mental development....

But no i guess we will just disregard and intentionally refuse to acknowledge that part isn't it metro police and environmental affairs departments.
