Nee,nee this is crap bull.when you go to trainings you don't run in cars but you physically get trained to run after criminals,to jump high walls and fences and this rape was just a block away and you wanted a car to do what exactly.You are just a bunch of lazy people who do not take the law seriously but want to get paid every month for lazying around certifying copies NXA and not dealing with real issues.

Mr Horne thank you for risking your life to save these girls from horror,you deserve a bells

Thanks Mr Horne. These girls were lucky you heard their cry for help. You are their saviour truly.

As for the police - their lack of commitment is shocking. Dereliction of duty I say.

I lost faith in our Police long time ago. I know there are hard working and committed SAPS personel out there. Then kubenalezinja ezingafuni ukusebenza. 10111 is just a waste of airtime they put you on hold.

It comforting though that there are still local heroes like Mr Horne.

Can this Fat Boom boom run? they are useless, do they train after completing their first training course, do they execise daily, I guess no. A block away, you still want a transport? Shame lazy

The SAPS is so useless, all they know is to shoot to k!ll - it was only a block away why didnt they run to the scene...cowards. The whole SAPS is rotten to the core, my sister went to the joburg police station for an affidavit and she was told that there were no pens at the stations and was given directions to the nearest stationery shop which was more than two blocks away - to buy her own pen...talk about service delivery

I don't think that this story is true. Somewhere, there is a lie. @Sowetan, we are not kids.

all they are good at is for arresting us for drunk and driving suspicions and public drinking. if you decide to leave your car and walk then you will be arrested for some stupid charge called "pedestrian danger to him/herself". wtf? esp. sunnyside police.

Police are completely useless, so useless that I've resorted to arresting criminals myself.
Ladies do not under estimate the power that handcuffs, pepperspray and a knife have.
My friend and I once arrested a guy that tried to rob us and brought him to the police station, only to have them release him back into society again.
Well done to the great hero, but next time please just k!ll the buggers-its self defence

Horne apparently told the charge office that an attempted rape was taking place only a block from the police station, but could get no undertaking from police that they would investigate
***************************************************************************************************************
A block away, you dont need a car but you can run there.......... but we know that they feast on fast food and have a girth the size of Khulubuse and cannot even sprint to save their own lives..............


Horne resolved to help the girls himself.

Somebody must be fired here, really, I'm just angry just reading about this dispicable behaviour. Fire these bastard policemen coz clearly they don't want to protect and serve our communities... SOWETAN pls escalate this to Nathi Mthethwa, its really unbecoming of these uniform guys, obviously not all of them.

I stay in an area where the police have always peached lest than 5 minutes after an incident has been reported. I know that one of this day I will be one of those victims who wait for police for 13 days. I did wait for them for 11 hours when I had an in-car theft in Sunnyside.

this is bull..officers are trained to run without vehicle even bicycles but now they are producing such a report to cover them...this is not the way how to submit the station challanges of policing without vehicle,why dont you file something like an officer was found running to save the victims without vehicle that can be a good progress and your matter of shortage of vehicle can be taken seriously not by punishing the victims which is very wrongfull manner of practising justice....Where is the justice officers or mybe you have been provided enough vehicles its just your bosses went with them home like their own vehicles.....SA lets unite mani not this

Once my car was broken into at my complex and when the cops arrived they would not take a statement from a neighbour whose car was also broken into because he had not called the cops. Same culprits, same complex, same night but they refused to help him.

Suffice to say when they left that was the last time I heard from them, they did not even attempt to lift fingerprints. This is how SAPS operate, you are asking too much of them if you think they will assist. Even in road blocks I am always tempted to tell them off because they always look like they don't know what they are doing.
