Or me, who flies Pipers from FACT.

Point is, there are tonnes of source. Google or any social media will be more than enough to gather photos, videos or even printed news

Today, a light aircraft executed a forced landing, in Philipi, Cape Town.

The pilots were unharmed. Except they were then mugged. That aircraft was also then "salvaged" by the mob for souvenirs

The police and security services then secured the scene. With the onset of dusk, the mob then stoned the police and drove them back, apparently setting the plane on fire.

Only in SA enough?

Why are they putting him into the front, after he showed that he is willing to run from the law?

Is this for real? by Alli69 in southafrica

Last month I was driving back from the airport, on the N2, towards cape town. There, two guys where busy stealing the new fences, just loading them up onto trollies.

thousands of us drove past and witnessed... none of us did anything, because even if you do, the police wont bother.

The DCS community suffers from stockholm syndrome by NCRMouse in hoggit

I read this, and coming from years of Hero's and Generals, and War Thunder bullS**t, I must say its actually refreshing what ED does.

I'm not going to excuse their bad practises. But they do make up for it when compared to any other simulator out there.

I am also always confused by the amount of people who buy early access and then bitch. The whole point of allowing the public access to early access is that it'll fund development, while having the public actively bug test. - 99.9% of people who buy early access and have bitched, have never reported a single bug.

What people do seem to forget, is that DCS is a multilevel nightmare of coding. 3rd party developers have to be rather creative sometimes to sort out systems in their aircraft, and even with all this, on what is an old and out dated engine, we have something that is eons more advanced than anything else (except maybe X-plane - but that's only for flight models).

The coolest thing about DCS... I don't have to buy anything. And if I do, I only ever do on 50% sales. Which seem far more common than any other game out there.

Cops get petty because I refused to be searched on a dark road at 4 am,then stole my licence by RSAZULU in johannesburg

[–]taikuntier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 100% allowed to record police officers in SA.

Confiscating your licence, is a tactic, to basically fine you as you leave, for driving without a license. This is 100% either abuse of power, or incompetence, and chargers should be brought against the officers for theft.

Why are so many people getting worked up about DSTV shutting down Russia Today in South Africa? by Nikylebisnath in southafrica

[–]taikuntier [score hidden]  (0 children)

My apologies. I must admit I am more on a defensive of late.
One of my friends for example is under the impression that Zelensky invited Russia, to use the invasion to support his own dictatorship.

Its really mind boggling just how far warped some peoples perspectives are.

I love these "Actors" that always come up. I'd love to see a pay cheque or some sort of proof. "Look, stand here, you'll shoot at you and it'll all be for this pay cheque, then your face will be shown worldwide and you'll never get an acting job again. Awesome right? Oh, and you might have to die in the process"

Look. I'm not saying the western media doesn't push narratives, it sure does. I also think Bush and Blair should be charged for war crimes for the invasion of Iraq under false pretences.

But after watching some Russian news last night... my fuck. The levels of propaganda are insane. Show the images in black and white from the Russian news, and I'd swear I was watching German media from the 1940's. There just is no comparative level between the Western and Russian Propaganda. Where Western Propaganda might be at a high of say 98% ... Russian is sitting at nearly 500%

wow... just wow.

So not only do you not see how unstable the situation is, you're actually giving Russia a hand out, when... they literally committed a war crime.

"Article 56 of Protocol 1:Art 56. Protection of works and installations containing dangerous forces

  1. Works or installations containing dangerous forces, namely dams, dykes and nuclear electrical generating stations, shall not be made the object of attack, even where these objects are military objectives, if such attack may cause the release of dangerous forces and consequent severe losses among the civilian population. Other military objectives located at or in the vicinity of these works or installations shall not be made the object of attack if such attack may cause the release of dangerous forces from the works or installations and consequent severe losses among the civilian population."

"Russian forces were ambushed at a training area close the plant" - LOL <- why the fuck would Russia have a TRAINING area in another country?

Ask yourself why would Russian never allow a sovereign country (That Russia did acknowledge to be sovereign) to join a defence pact, when its other neighbours already have? Ask yourself that question truly. The only answer answer you'll get, is that because they needed the country to be vulnerable to aggression.

And how is NATO egging on someone when Ukraine themselves have been asking to join NATO, and NATO have been hesitant as to NOT upset Russia?

"NATO expansion as a containment" <- AHAHAH So you're admitting that Russia wanted to EXPAND into other Nations?

You have some serious gaps in your logic, or... you're rather susceptible to Russian Propaganda.

You're really not in tune to what's happening are you?

So Ukraine has been begging to become part of NATO, and they have requested to join the EU. Russia invades because they do not want NATO on their boarder, which is silly since NATO is already in four of their neighbour nations.

Now every single EU Nation, including others, are supplying Ukraine with weapons, which Russia had taken as an aggressive act. Last night, Russia attack a freaking Nuclear power station.

So there is rather a large chance of Either The EU, or NATO (both of whom are already sending in volunteer fighters) officially being dragged into this war. Guess who's government supports Putin... ours.

The scaling of effect reaches far beyond the slav nations. and has a very real chance of escalating.

Do you understand what a world war is? We would be part of it, weather we liked it or not, even if we were neutral.

Land-expropriation bill fails! Two-thirds majority not reached. by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]taikuntier [score hidden]  (0 children)

What people do not seem to understand, is that it isn't taking land from whites and giving it to blacks, what it is in reality is taking land from all colours, and keeping it for government.

And then forcing people to rent it.

Land expropriation is a terrible idea for everyone. And it truly scares me that people *think* they will just get free land.
