This article has been a long time coming, as it is one that was hard to put together due to the amount of research that had to be configured, taking files from the colonial police themselves to verify their mistreatment of the Africans who work alongside them.
Recently, the fame of Mkhwanazi of the police in Occupied Azania (South Africa) has almost won the police undue popularity and sought to redeem them in the eyes of their many black victims; this article, while fighting for the rights of Mr. Mokoena, a local farmer in Evaton West, also seeks to win black people to the understanding that we must oppose colonialism and its institutions at a minimum, instead of trying to separate ourselves from the needs of the African masses to throw off colonialism from our lives.

The case is from a brother who is a complainant against the South African Police Service (SAPS) in the Vaal area, city of Vereeniging. Listed here are the following colonial (legal) abuses of a brother M.P Mokoena: a) unfair labor practices, b) undue dismissal and c) loss of pension funds.
This case was taken to the Gauteng Provincial Commissioner—and true to colonial fashion, the files needed in order to substantiate the facts behind treating brother Mokoena were mysteriously ‘disappeared’.
Mr. Mokoena has proven through documented records that he was unfairly dismissed by the SAPS leadership—something that might have been linked with him having opposed his peers when they were carrying out their colonial duties, i.e., brutalizing and dehumanizing African people, taking bribes, etc—Mokoena had no great passion for that treachery–this earned him disfavor within the SAPS.
Subsequently, Mokoena lost his job as a result of his altruism and had his pension payout deducted for a debt he was not responsible for.
Colonial colonel Tshirund, with the assistance of Captain Reyneke of the Vereeniging SAPS, was the one leading the investigations and taking in Mokoena’s case. Also involved were human resource management personnel lieutenant colonel Booysens from the Gauteng Provincial Trial Office.
The two topmost officers provided records which were perused to determine Mokoena’s claim—who it is revealed through the files was instructed several times by Captain Bosson to drive the state vehicle when there was a shortage of drivers at Vereeniging SAPS although he did not have a drivers license—a thing that they themselves say is illegal!
Mokoena protested against the instruction but was forced to do so in order to fulfil his plantation duty—but then he was suddenly charged for this with a suspension from the service on September 13, 1999 by Captain Calitz who took his possessions, his service firearm and appointment certificate. Mokoena was told he will be summoned to answer the charges against him.
Because of his status—being black in South Africa—Mokoena never saw this summons materialize, and so he has spent decades making inquiries several times about when the matter would be heard without success until receiving a letter from the pension fund of their lack of intention to payout his pension.
He was informed when he made these searches that he had been dismissed in absentia for desertion.
On another note, Tshirundu (one of the investigators within the SAPS) is reported to have investigated to determine the merit of the allegation by requesting relevant registers, i.e. occurrence book (OB), firearm register, disciplinary register, personal files and fitness board that determines dismissal. The investigation revealed the following :
a) All OB registers before and after dismissal cannot be traced
b) Captain Reyneke reported that he did all in his power to trace them without success. Firearm registers for 108 properties and daily issuing firearms cannot be found.
c) Mokoena’s personal files were not filed with other ‘dead files’ (files of the police which are terminated). Instead, they were found dumped in a storeroom five months after colonel Tshirundu insisted that every storeroom archiving must be audited.
d) Personal files found empty with no personal records that could assist an investigation.
This is something that should serve us as black people to understand what kind of treatment the colonialist state has in store for us—even when we pledge allegiance to it and stand by its crooked flag and politics.
So far, what we have found from this research, as The Spear Team, is that Booysen later revealed the fact that the desertion was unreported and is therefore false; that no one gave Mokoena a notice informing him of imminent charges that would deprive him of his bond house (a feature all the cops are privy to in the colony). The so-called evidence used for dismissal is only affidavits from a random officer at the station.
The South African government has stolen brother Mokoena’s money, wasted his time with colonial platitudes and used him for its sick agenda by using its forked tongue (two-faced) nature to win black people who should know better than to join the ranks of the enemy in hopes of improving their own lives!
The International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM) calls for all former police and prospective police to recognize that this social system was built on our enslavement as African people and is therefore not worthy of our allegiance—we have to go beyond emulating neocolonialists like Mkhwanazi and recognize that the law of South Africa is nothing but colonial law—and was constructed and still is AGAINST US!
Build the Uhuru Movement in South Africa!
Join the right side of history!
Justice for brother Mokoena!
Uhuru!
