Veldfires Limpopo

Like to share some photos with you taken yesterday 06\08\12 of some raging veldfires in our area. The pictures were taken at different altitudes by the Cessna Spotter plane (Working on Fire) over Mabalingwe nature reserve.
This particular fire started near the Mabalingwe tower and was thought to be intentionally set….! No proof yet but it will be investigated. Fire fighters worked from yesterday morning until last night fighting the fire. At one stage the wind was exceeding 40 knots but fortunately it was blowing against the fire which helped a great deal.
During the flight a radio call came in saying that a total of 19 fires were identified all over the Limpopo province and parts of Mpumalanga. The helicopter could not be despatched because he was busy fighting a fire in the Tzaneen area.
I have not yet heard about any casualties or property damage in our area. We normally have animal casualties and it is really heartbreaking to see some of the Zebra and Kudu that just couldn’t get away.
We all need to be extra careful this time of year.
Just thought I’d share it with you.

It is general knowledge that the fire's are started by the same group of people who sing the song 'Kill the boer kill the farmer..'
How can you expect the police to hunt down the arsonist and murderers when our goverment has legalise the song kill the boer kill the farmer..

Ons het so ding hier by ons nodig-die berg langs die vliegveld brand nou al vir 4 dae .

N oplossing vir julle daar op Potties Nico.

Doen aansoek by Limpopo Gov. en stoot die berg plat. Vat al die grond en neuk dit in Anglo Plat se oop groef. Rehabiliteer sommer die myn terwyl hulle besig is...!
As die berg weg is sal ons kan styg en land op 36 sonder die wasmasjien....!
Die wereld sal ook nou platter wees so veldvure kan sommer met die op en wakker brandweer geblus word....!
Ek dink die regering sal dit ernstig oorweeg aangesien daar n redelike surplus van fondse is na al die skoolboeke so mooi getrou en betyds "afgelewer" is.
