SAFETY and Security Minister Charles Nqakula said yesterday that he was not willing to "speculate on the motives" for the bombing of the Umtamvuma River bridge separating Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, but said it was a "completely senseless" act.
This is yet another blast in the country after four others in recent weeks.
Nqakula said the police would work around the clock to find those responsible for the blasts. No one was injured in yesterday's incident.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesman Dir Bala Naidoo said the bridge could be closed for about six weeks, but engineers were expected to take another look at the bridge, a major thoroughfare, today and take a final decision.
"The bridge is still intact, but pylons supporting the bridge are damaged and the engineers are looking at other options," he said.
Naidoo said forensic experts were still searching for clues late yesterday and were expected to have more information today on the type of explosives used. This could shed some light on the motive behind the blast.
Transport MEC S'bu Ndebele joined the African National Congress in condemning the blast, and said the province would do everything to ensure the safety of tourists and residents.
"The bridge was destroyed by forces who are thoroughly frustrated by the successes we have achieved in nation building, reconciliation and democratic transformation," he said.
Despite police reluctance to speculate, it was widely believed that the shadowy right-wing Boeremag group was responsible for the blasts in Gauteng intended to be part of a rightwing terror campaign.
On October 30 nine blasts rocked Soweto damaging railway lines and a mosque. Claudina Mokane, who was sleeping in her shack, was killed by shrapnel and her husband was injured.
A day later a bomb exploded at a Buddhist temple in Bronkhorstspruit, Mpumalanga, injuring two people.
On Saturday, November 16, a bomb exploded in the entrance of the Western Cape branch of the serious and violent crimes unit near the Bishop Lavis police station on the Cape Flats.
The following Saturday a bomb exploded in a building housing the police Airwing at Grand Central Airport in Midrand, causing structural damage.

November 29 2002 at 03:24PM
South Africa's intelligence services will ensure that "mad rightwingers" threatening peace regret the day they were born, Intelligence Minister Lindiwe Sisulu said on Friday.
"They might do well to check our credentials with (vigilante group) Pagad (People Against Gangsterism and Drugs)," she said at the unveiling of a wall of remembrance at the National Intelligence Agency's (NIA) headquarters at Rietvlei outside Pretoria.
Sisulu's warning came hours after police began a nationwide swoop on alleged rightwingers plotting to topple the government.
The operation, which continued through Friday, yielded several arrests by noon. Eighteen rightwingers are currently in custody, having been arrested over the past two months on treason and sabotage charges.
'We will ensure that they rue the day they were born'
Sisulu said the country's intelligence services would spy "for as long as there are bullies, and liars and madmen" in the world.
"For as long as mad rightwingers threaten our peace, we will ensure that they rue the day they were born."
Her reference to Pagad was an apparent reminder of the successes of the intelligence community to help end a string of bombing attacks in Cape Town by members of the vigilante group.
The wall of remembrance outside the NIA headquarters was unveiled by President Thabo Mbeki, who also lighted a flame at the wall for fallen intelligence officials.
Deputy President Jacob Zuma also attended the ceremony.
'Their successes (are) unknown and unacknowledged... and unsung' So far, 200 names are engraved in gold on the wall, among them 12 members who died while on active duty. The others died while in the service of NIA, which officially came into being in 1995.
NIA replaced the the old National Intelligence (NI) organisation from the apartheid era.
Sisulu said there would in time be a third category of names in the wall, those who gave outstanding service to the intelligence community and the country.
It was envisaged that the wall would eventually be three times its current size.
Sisulu lauded the role intelligence services, from opposite sides, played before 1994 to pave the way for the constitutional negotiations that resulted in the current political dispensation.
"We showed the world what was possible when intelligence services were used as an instrument for good. We thank all of you here present that have chartered this path for us and allowed us to bask in its glory."
Retired NI director-general Mike Louw represented the intelligence services of the old order at the event.
Former Intelligence Minister Joe Nhlanhla also attended, in a wheelchair. He stepped down after suffering a stroke in July 2000.
Sisulu said November 29 would in future be set aside to celebrate and recognise the work of the intelligence community.
"Their successes (are) unknown and unacknowledged... and unsung. Such is the world the services inhabit, a very unnatural world."
The occasion included a rendition of the Last Post and Reveille by a lone trumpeter. After Mbeki and Zuma each laid a wreath at the wall, the president took the salute from the national ceremonial guard.
Dignitaries then moved inside the headquarters for a closed ceremony where Mbeki conferred merit awards on a number of individuals, including Nhlanhla. - Sapa

The difference between White Terrorists and all others (including white shabbas-goy terrorists) is we manage to blow up the bridge and the power plant without taking out women, children & the infirm. That's why the "government" of South Africa is shtting a planet....because they know* a few hundred determined white men, unencumbered by Jewish "allies" or black "equals", can take back any modern African state in six months or less.
Here is the REAL question: what happens when - inevitably - six months from now, Bush adds the twinkle of South African rebellion to his Thousand Points Of Evil astrological chart.....and sends in US TROOPS TO KILL WHITE MEN AND WOMEN? Or simply weapons and advisors?
It'll have to happen if the SA rebellion presses forward, because people who think a cat crossing the road is the cause of crop failure won't be able to long hold off even a small disciplined force of whites who incorporate logic and reason into their planning. And our 50-year love affair with Feel-Good Irrationality has painted us into a corner no public figure has the courage to walk out of.....I can feel the spittle-spray of the anti-racist invective now, followed by Dubya mounting his puppet podium to draw the usual shaky analogy between Boers and their spiritual father, Stalin - to say nothing of comparing functional illiterate rapists & murderers in somebody else's surplus gold-braided Army uniforms to the Army of the Potomac.

Exactly. It only took a private force of about 58 American Whites to take Nicaragua in the late 19th century. The U.S. Government betrayed those enterprising colonists, though.

I wouldn't be surprised at this point. Funny thing is that the Boers will be an all-White force and the U.S. troops nearly half non-white, so it'll be more of the same fight to the Boers.
Another interesting question: what will Whites in America who "know the deal" and are sympathetic to the Boers do if Bush backs up the ANC regime? What can, or will, a few hundred determined White men in America do, if anything?
I'm betting that freak Nancy Pelosi, who talks a good anti-war game as Democratic leader when Bush is contemplating invading Iraq, will suddenly be quite gung-ho to commit U.S. troops to put down the Boers. In that event, hypothetically, since she's from San Francisco, it'd be nice to see the Golden Gate Bridge follow the example of the Umtamvuma River Bridge.

May it be so!
Sputtering that they're going to make these "mad rightwingers rue the day they were born"......yes, I'd definitely say this shegro is displaying the vehement bluster of someone running scared.
And ain't it sweet!

Crushing a few White SA freedom fighters would go a long way towards silencing domestic non-White opposition to our one-sided ME policy. It might alienate a few gentile Freeper types, the ones who aren't nutty CZs that is, but those morons always vote R no matter how many times they're betrayed, so nobody cares. Our task will be to point out that the White South African's claim to the land is at least as legitimate as the Israeli's.

I don't think this'll register much of a blip w/the US government. They're more concerned with Iraq and the fallout that will come from those actions. This is not something the US press will even cover anyway, so no need to quell it.
But it's good news, tho. :rolleyes:

If the Fighting Whiteys start having a real impact you can bet that the usual suspects, led by (what's a female silverback called?) Sheila Jackson Lee and the rest of the Congoids in the CBC, will come swinging down out of the trees demanding that the US intervene. And most Whites are ignorant about what's been going on in SA and Rhodesia the last few years so they won't be offering much opposition. But it will bring a few more people into our camp.
