This was a day for visiting the shooting range at Durban Deep and a night out at the pub with bob.

	To the left, entrance to Bob's residential area. Up till two years ago, everyone was checked. Then the black government forbade that, saying it hindered the blacks free movement. In order words, hindered the black hooligans from breaking in, robbing and raping whites. Nice. To the right, on the road to John's house.
	John ready with the targets. David, the trusty watch boy at Durban Deep Shooting Range.
	Setting up targets. Martin to the left. And John to the right.
	Ready for some shooting. Martin is eying the targets.
	John is always in a good mood. Abe readying himself for the shoot.
	John and Abe is tucking in their stomach before shooting. Martin did have some hits too.
	John and Martin with too much guts. Right hand only.
	Left hand only. Finished and ready for inspection.
	Martin practicing crouching position. Simulating car hijacking or carjack as it popular called. Modern cars are so difficult to steal when they are locked so the black crooks prefer to hold you up at gun point and steal your car.
	Martin simulating sitting in a car shooting a carjacker. After shoot beer at the range.
	The black steal anything, even the sheet iron covering the roof over the ranges. So, there is nothing to do but wrap the whole thing up in barbered wire.
	Nice pub do they have. Here all three enjoying a beer. Martin to the left, Abe and John. Abe has telephone no +27 83 727 2450. David between Martin and John.
	Mining houses, once high standard living quarters. No just slums. Black taxi. Public transport is totally absent. The government plan a subway to $ 3 billion plus. No white takes trains in SA. You get mugged, killed and thrown off the train. Using an underground? No ways.
	Since public transport is absent and very little has been invested in infrastructure, all roads around Johannesburg are overcrowded. According to the Auditor General, Eastern Cape Province had income of roughly $ 5 billions, but could only account for less than a billion. In other words, more than $ 4 billions just disappeared in the form of bribes, kickback and corruption. Johannesburg is no different. No wonder there is no money for roads. A new secure settlement is coming up. With high walls and 30 000 voltage on top to deter would be robbers, thieves and killers. In SA, most white in the big cities are prisoners in their own homes. You never wander out after dark. Too dangerous.
	John's neighbors in his secure settlement. Some 100 semidetached houses in this one alone. Back at Bob's, time for some gun cleaning.
	Bob in front of his pigeon loft and barbeque. Bob is the chef and a very good one at that. Bob and Angie at the late afternoon lupper. Because of the high crime rate, you don't invite people to stay after dark. Or you stay over.
	Connie, Bob and Angie's long term friend. Fox, Bob's dog is getting some bones from the barbeque.
	Bob busy feeding his birds. He has some 200 pigeons in is loft.
	John the barman is making Martin a shot. This one is Sowetoan Toilet named after a black slum just outside Johannesburg. (Soweto stands for South Western Township with over a million poor blacks and the world's highest crime rate. In all of SA, 51 people get murdered every day.) The friendly barmaid is point to the chart where the shots are listed. See picture from Dec 6.
	Martin's shot down the hatch. Nice actually. Bearded man with knife-production as his work. Sold Martin a nice one.
	Amanda, one of the local girls at the pub. Here with the official bar dog at Matey's pub.
	Some words of wisdom from the poster on the wall.
