Survived: Democratic-Alliance councillor Hennopspark, Johan Jansen 71, wife Anna-Marie 73 and granddaughter Joané le Roux, 12 attacked by three black males Oct 6 2014 http://rekordcenturion.co.za/28985/gewapende-boewe-beroof-da-raadslid-en-buurman/#at_pco=tcb-1.0&at_si=54356b2d54b0f282&at_ab=per-2&at_pos=5&at_tot=6 Oct 5 2014 - In broad daylight, the Jansen family was attacked by three armed black males in their Greenpark Complex home in Hennopspark. After they tied up the family they went next door and also attacked neighbours Jan, 71 and Delicia 69 Marais. Jansen het gesê dat hulle na die roof erg geskok was en dat veral sy kleindogter diep deur die voorval getref was en behandeling moes ontvang om te kan slaap. ”Dit was ‘n verskriklike ondervinding, Ons sukkel nog om dit te verwerk. ‘n Dag na die voorval het my vrou bewusteloos inmekaar gestort en ek kon tot gister nog nie helder oor enigiets dink nie. Ons ontvang nou sielkundige behandeling net om die ervaring te verwerk,” het Jansen gister, nog erg ontsteld, vertel. Ten tye van die voorval was Jansen in sy studeerkamer met ‘n telefoonoproep besig. ”My vrou en kleindogter het inkopies gaan doen en teruggekom. Van my studeerkamer het ek hulle vlugtig gesien toe hulle inkom en die inkopies op die tafel neersit. Ek het omgedraai en voortgegaan met my telefoonoproep en nie gesien hoe die drie rowers inkom nie. My vrou was ook nie bewus dat sy en Joané agtervolg word nie,” het hy vertel. Die drie rowers, almal sowat 25 jaar oud, was geklee in Gautrein-oorpakke. Hulle het in ‘n wit Ford Ranger-bakkie sonder nommerplate gery en het Donderdag 2 Oktober omstreeks 16:30 toegang tot die kompleks verkry deur ‘n inwoner wat tuisgekom het te agtervolg en by die hek in te glip. Die drie rowers, elkeen met ‘n outomatiese pistool gewapen, het Anna-Marie Jansen en Joané in die sitkamer vasgetrek en ‘n pistool teen Anne-Marie se kop gehou. Jansen was nog met sy telefoongesprek besig en onbewus van die aanval op sy vrou en kleindogter in die aangrensende kamer. Die rowers het Anna-Marie en Joané gewaarsku om stil te bly en gedreig om Joané te verkrag indien hulle ‘n geluid sou maak. Van die sitkamer kon hulle hoor hoe Jansen met sy gesprek voortgaan. ”Toe ek die telefoon neersit het een van die rowers my studeerkamer binnegekom, die handwapen op my gerig en gesê dat hulle my vrou en kleindogter het en dat ek moet saamkom slaapkamer toe. In die slaapkamer het hulle my vrou gedwing om die kluis oop te sluit. Hulle het daarna ons almal met ons hande agter die rug met dasse vasgebind en kussingslope oor my vrou en kleindogter se koppe getrek. Die boewe het ons gedreig dat hulle ons sou skiet indien enigeen van ons hulle senuweeagtig maak. Terwyl hulle besig was om ons te plunder, was een deurentyd op sy selfoon besig. Ek het die indruk gekry dat die persoon met wie hy in ‘n swart taal gepraat het, besig was om hom te vertel wat hy moet doen,” het Jansen vertel. Die rowers het die egpaar se ringe, juweliersware, kontant, hekafstandbeheerders, sleutels, TV, skootrekenaar, ‘n .38 rewolwer en fotografiese toerusting geroof. Onderwyl die gesin vasgebind in die slaapkamer gelê het, het die rowers na die huis van Jan en Delucia Marais gegaan. Hulle bakkie was in die parkeerterrein geparkeer en hulle het vroeer by Marais se vrou verby gestap op pad na die Jansens se huis. Marais het gesê toe die rowers die motor geparkeer het, sy aangeneem het dat dit vir aflewering van iets was. ”My vrou het op daardie stadium op die stoep gesit. Hulle het vir my vrou gesê dat hulle werk soek. Hulle het om die huis geloop en ons was totaal onbewus dat hulle toe besig was om Johan en sy vrou te beroof. Ek was besig om lappe te was buite die kombuisdeur. Ek het daarna ingegaan om badkamer toe te gaan. Die rowers het intussen toegang tot my huis gekry deur ‘n buitehekkie langs die motorhuis wat oop was. My vrou het intussen na die slaapkamer gegaan en oefeninge op die mat begin doen toe die rowers inkom. Toe ek uit die badkamer kom het ek my vasgeloop teen die rowers. Een van hulle het sy vuurwapen op my vrou gerig en haar beveel om te bly lê,” het hy vertel. Hulle het Marais beveel om langs sy vrou te lê waarop hulle die egpaar se hande vasgebind het. ”Ek wou protesteer want ‘n mens is bang dat hulle jou dalk verwurg of in die gesig kan skop. Een het vir my gesê ‘don’t be silly,’ en ons het toe net stil gelê,” het Marais vertel. Die rowers het die egpaar se trouringe, ‘n diamantring en ander juwele gevat. ”Hulle het ons daarna gedwing om die kluis oop te sluit waar hulle my .303 en .22 Brno Hornet, ‘n hout tydskrifrak en ons TV gevat het,’’ het Marais vertel. Ná hulle die Marais-egpaar beroof het, het die rowers hul buit in hul voertuig gelaai. Joané wat die geluid van die dieselenjin gehoor het toe die rowers hul voertuig aanskakel, het haar een hand losgewikkel en daarna haarself losgebind om haar oupa en ouma te bevry. Hulle het onmiddellik die huisalarm gedruk en ADT van die roof in kennis gestel het. ‘’Toe ons uit die huis kom, moes ons hoor dat ons bure deur dieselfde mense beroof is. ADT en ‘n groot groep SAPD-lede moet geluk gewens word vir hul flink en deeglike optrede. Na ons eerste oproep was almal vinnig op die toneel. Die polisie van Wierdabrug se optrede was werklik professioneel en behulpsaam,” het Jansen gesê. Niemand is nog in verband met die voorval in hegtenis geneem nie.

Moroccan consul El Fatmi Noureddine assassinated'in Pretoria: only cellphone 'missing' October 7 2014 reports HuffPostMaghreb in French-language paper: http://www.huffpostmaghreb.com/2014/10/07/diplomate-marocain-pretor_n_5946096.html Pretoria - Moroccan consul Fatmi Noureddine was murdered in the South African capital city of Pretoria. He was found dead in a pool of blood at his guesthouse, his embassy said Tuesday. Police are still investigating how and why Fatmi Noureddine was killed. An autopsy is being carried out. The Morroccan authorities through its Department of Foreign Affairs are assisting the SAPS in the investigation. “The police are very cautious,” a clearly distraught (unnamed) diplomatic colleague told AFP. “It has to be a robbery.” “He did not turn up for work at the normal time, which seemed strange because he was always on time. His phone was off.”(only his cellphone was 'missing' from his home. Nothing else of any value was 'robbed', yet the SA police and the media describe the mystery-murder as 'just another ordinary crime'.) Colleagues went to Noureddine's guesthouse, on climbing the stairs to his residence and “found him in a pool of blood,” the official said. A cell phone was said to be missing from the scene, but it was not known if he had any money at home. NOTE- More than 90 people die in violence committed against them by others each day in South Africa. HOWEVER - the police lists "culpible homicides and murders" seperately in South Africa so usually the media only quotes the daily murder rate of 47 people a day which is at the top of their statistics-listings. But the culpible homicide rate - listed down below -- should be added to obtain the correct total for people who die violently each day. And since the SAPS claims that this is an 'ordinary burglary', SAPA-AFP also noted that ' 300,000 burglaries at residential and business properties were recorded in the SAPS data from the 2013/4 book year up to April 2014. http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/moroccan-diplomat-murdered-in-pretoria-1.1761564#.VDRHs9-jn8s http://www.huffpostmaghreb.com/2014/10/07/diplomate-marocain-pretor_n_5946096.html?utm_hp_ref=algeria ---------------- CORRECTION: More than 90 people die in violence committed against them by others each day in South Africa, NOT '40 or so"... . The South African police however - very cleverly - is so politicised that it publishes the "culpible homicides and murders" seperately in its crime-categories. 'Murder' is listed way on top, easy for hasty journalists -- but 'culpible homicide' can only be found way down on the same crime-list if you take the trouble to take your eyes downwards, way down... Why do they list two seperate categories for identical crimes i.a. violence deaths committed by others? It's all about propaganda: the "murder"-category is listed high on the list and so that 47-daily murder rate is quoted in all the news media reports. Nobody bothers to cast their eye down the list, if they did they would discover, on line 21 or so, the other category for the same crime, 'culpible homicide'. When you add these two categories together, the daily 'murder and culpible homicide rate' in South Africa shows that 90 people a day on average are killed each DAY. Not '40 or so'. The difference between culpible homicide and murder often has more to do with the number of shots fired at a victim; and also: road-deaths through deliberate violent actions - i.e. when the drivers use their vehicles as murder-weapons - also are included in the culpible homicide rates. Thus the South African Police Service manages to hide the fact that more than 90 people die violently at the hands of others each day. As far as this specific incident is concerned, seeing as how nothing of any value is 'missing' from the guest-house crime scene except the diplomat's cellphone, one should not presume that this was any 'ordinary burglar', especially considering who Mr Nouredinne was: a Moroccan diplomat. Thus the comment that some 300,000 'burglaries' are committed in South Africa each day, is not appropriate in this case. But thanks for taking the time to at least look at the few top lines of the South African Police crime statistics, which date from March 2013 - March 2014 - making them very old indeed. People don't know what happened in their own neighbourhood yesterday and the South African Police Service has no intention of making their crime-stats any clearer. View them at your own risk at http://www.saps.gov.za. It will take you a while to find them but keep trying! And since the SAPS claims that this is an 'ordinary burglary', SAPA-AFP also noted that ' 300,000 burglaries at residential and business properties were recorded in the SAPS data from the 2013/4 book year up to April 2014.

Haenerstburg, Georges valley, Limpopo - Four-member farm-attack syndicate captured on Georges' Valley farm Oct 7 2014: "The gunman pushed the barrel of the rifle into the face of farmer Lourens van Deventer's face and said: 'I am trained'... report by journalist Bertus de Bruyn, 8 October 2014 - The gunman turned out to be a loudmouthed braggard who confessed that he had raped a woman, hijacked the daughter of a top police officer in the area, that he had also shot and injured a farm worker earlier in the day. The policeman's daughter drove in the direction of Georges Valley and then drove her vehicle off the road, locking the steering mechanism. The thug then fled in the direction of the Van Deventer farm where the teen sons Lourens and Coenraad managed to capture his gun, tie him to a pole and contacted the police. It turns out that the mouthy thug's bragging led to three more comrades-in-crime and the crime syndicate now has been firmly secured and will appear in court soon, the police confirmed. "A syndicate was captured after the gutsy actions of two brothers, the police and Northern security company - which received an emergency call from the farm GV60 in the Georges' Valley. The police also were alerted when the two brothers, Lourens and Coenraad van Deventer, managed to tie up an armed black male and tie him to a pole. Their mom Estelle van Deventer, a teacher at the Ben Vorster Afrikaans High School, and her two sons were alone on the farm. Northern Security's armed reaction guard Marius Jacobs said the black farm-invader entered the Van Deventer homestead with a loaded shotgun. 'He pushed the barrel of the gun in Lourens' face and said: 'I am trained'. Coenraad tried to grab the gun and the three men got into a scuffle, during which two shots went off - one striking a call, and the other the roof. "The one shell travelled between Lourens and me, the Lord looked after us very well, " said mom Estelle. The two Afrikaner youths managed to disarm the thug, tied him to a pole, and called help. The cops arrived en-masse: at least ten vehicles showed up. "We are grateful that hte children were not injured, imagine what could have happened." The police handcuffed the gunman and when putting him into the van, told them 'arrogantly and without emotion' that he had shot a farm-worker in Agatha earlier in the day. "The farm worker's leg probably has to be amputated from the injury,' Jacobs said. The garrulous suspect also confessed that he had hijacked the sister of a police-colonel and ordered her to drive her vehicle to Haenerstburg. " Jacobs said: "She was very brave not to listen and instead drove in the direction of Geroges Valley and about 2km up the dirt road she ran the car off the road and the steering wheel locked automatically. The thug then fled in the direction of the van Deventer farm'. The thug was very mouthy, and also said he had 'raped a woman in Agatha, broke into a house where he stole the shotgun, robbed a bakkie in Deer Park and carried out an armed robbery in Gyiani. Jacobs said that on Monday evening around 19h00 he got a call confirming that three of the mouthy thug's friends were arrested in DanVillage and that a shotgun was confiscated. https://www.facebook.com/boerekrisisaksie/photos/a.178568022169751.48293.116298045063416/973974675962411/?type=1&theater

Johnny Botha posts on his facebook page: On Saturday at 20:15, three armed men threw a flower pot through my in-laws lounge window and robbed them. My father-in-law (79) right leg was amputated years ago and walks with a walker. My mother-in-law (74) can only walk with a walker. The robbers hit Grandma and threw her to the ground and also threw grandpa down and demanded the safe keys. My brother, son and nephew were also in the apartment, adjacent to the house. They heard a noise and rushed in to fall prey to the robbers as well. They were kicked, beaten and held at gunpoint. They also broke grandma’s walker. They stole jewelry, Tv, cash, grandfather’s .22 rifle (over 150 years old), ammunition and other smaller stuff. It was discovered later that the gate was lifted off the rails to gain entry. We are grateful that Aunty and Uncle were not serious hurt and that Loekie, Danie and Juandre were there in their darkest hour. Grandfather receives a pittance of the stripped Railway Pension fund and its medical benefits were exhausted earlier in the year. The barbarians will one day be held accountable for their brutality Drie gewapende swart barbare het Saterdagaand om 20:15 'n blompot deur die sitkamerruit van my skoonouers se huis in Horison, Rdpt gegooi en hulle beroof. My skoonvader (79) se regterbeen is jare gelede geamputeer en hy kan slegs met 'n loopraam oor die wegkom. Skoonmoeder (74) kan ook slegs met 'n loopraam loop. Die barbare het ouma geslaan en op die grond neergegooi, oupa ook neergegooi en die kluissleutel geëis. My swaer, seun en sy neef, was ook in die woonstel, aangrensend tot die huis, en het die geraas gehoor en vorentoe gestorm, net om ook die prooi van die rowers te word. Hulle is geskop, geslaan en met vuurwapens aangehou terwyl die ander die huis gestroop het. Hulle het ook ouma se loopraam in stukkies getrap. Die booswigte het met juwelliersware, TV, kontant, oupa se .22 geweer (ouer as 150 jr) ammunisie en ander kleiner goed weggekom. Daar is later vasgestel dat die skuifhek van die spoor gelig is om toegang tot die erf te verkry. Ons is dankbaar dat oumie en oupie nie te ernstig beseer is nie en dat Loekie, Danie en Juandré daar was in hul donkerste uur. Oupa ontvang 'n hongerloon van die gestroopte Spoorweg Pensioenfonds en al sy mediese voordele is reeds vroeg in die jaar uitgeput. Die barbare sal eendag moet verantwoording doen vir hul onmenslikheid. https://www.facebook.com/johnny.botha1/posts/964993150194565

Story by Jana van der Merwe, Photo Mary Ann Palmer: Friday 10 October 2014. Kempton Park mom Anne-Marie van Zyl 's admitted killer Clement Ramawele claimed in testimony to High Court judge Solly Sithole in Randburg that he was angry when he arrived at his former employer's office, Trio Data Business Risk Consultants on Saturday 8 March 2014 and 'wanted to confront anyone there'. He was angry because, he claimed, the company denied he worked there when businesses asked for a reference. He claimed being 'surprised when he met Mrs Van Zyl at the business - 'he didn't have a good relationship with Mrs Van Zyl but got along with other workers', who was his maanger. "I asked her nicely why she denied to people that I worked there. She replied 'this does not give you a reason to be here'. He said she insulted him as 'she started speaking in Afrikaans and called me a kaffir and said I had to leave'. So he grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her to death. However his testimony does not match the earlier testimony by her nine-year-old daughter - who was present. She said that Marawele 'attacked my mom at once as he walked in, strangling and kicking her before stabbing herwith a knife he had taken from his jacket-pocket.' The little girl also testified that she jumped on Ramawele's back in an effort to get him to stop stabbing her mom. Her five-year-old sister also was present. Ramaphele denied in cross-questioning that he even saw the children there and denied the girl's version of events. He also denied that his handwriting was on a threatening note at the crime scene, addressed to the victim. This denial was in response to forensic evidence by a police expert who made a definite link to the note and his handwriting in other documents.

Family spokesman Riaan Moolman, said the family started worrying when Kirchhoff did not return home. “He did not come back. We opened a missing person’s case at Wierdabrug police station that afternoon. When he didn’t arrive that evening, we started searching for him at hospitals and mortuaries and asked the community for assistance,” Moolman said. Robin Kerchhoff 46 was found with severe assault wounds on Schuverberg Road in Erasmus in a bushy area by a security company. http://rekordcenturion.co.za/29231/man-found-murdered-on-the-back-of-his-bakkie/ Erasmia police Constable Tumisang Moloto said they had found the bakkie, a gold Ford Bantam, parked in the bushes with the doors open. “The man was declared dead on the scene by paramedics.

The two black male suspects arrested for the torture-murder of Mr Sarel Janse van Rensburg have decided not to apply for bail on their court appearance Oct 1 2014 in Middelburg before magistrate Kotze: the case was postponed to November 4 2014 for 'further investigation' and they remain in police-custody pending further investigations. Tonteldoos farm foreman Sarel Janse van Rensburg was found gruesomely tortured and murdered on 18 September 2014: when the family accosted the two arrested men and asked them why, they replied "sorry it was an accident...' Tobie van der Bergh of the Middelburg Observer writes on 29 Sept 2014 that "farmers are expected to attend the court appearance on Wednesday Sept 30 in large numbers. Two arrested black males, Papiko Mokwena and Eric Mtombeni, are being charged with murdering farm-foreman Sarel Janse van Rensburg, 75 on the farm Tonteldoos (Froggy Pond Farm). The Observer spoke with the family of the murdered, elderly Afrikaner. They pointed out that this was 'no accident' as is being alleged by the accused. "He was murdered 'very cruelly': shot, his head smashed to a pulp, his face bashed in with an iron pipe... Oom Sarel was mutilated'. His niece Gloudien Thomas said 'I spoke to the murder-suspects, repeatedly asking: Why, why, why? er parents, Johan and Gloudien Janse van Rensburg were als murdered in 2012 on their farm near Baltimore in a similar fashion: he was shot dead from a short distance and her mother seriously injured. She died 15 days later; There are many haunting questions which the family struggles with. "I went to the farm at once to support the family - because my parents were murdered just as cruelly two years ago,' she said. Ms Thomas said Mr Janse van Rensburg had told the farm-workers that morning that he 'was quickly going home to drink coffee. The indications were that he turned on the kettle and that his killers had followed him into the homestead. "They tried breaking in earlier but the burglar bars were too strong. So they just ambushed him, walked into the house behind him. Ms Thomas said she 'went to look in the eyes of the suspects and kept asking them: "why, why, why?' They simply replied: 'sorry it was an accident'. His niece: "This was no accident, this was a heartless and very cruel murder in which he was horribly mutilated by repeated blows and a shot through the head.' Other family members who were murdered by black males were: - Douw van Tonder, 24, 'they cut his throat as if he was a sheep", he was murdered in October 2002 on their farm near Ellisras. Douw's wife Alicia was 'slapped around' but her life was saved by her sister, Mari-Helene van Staden, who managed to flee, climbing across razor-fencing to seek help from neighbouring farmers - and when the killers heard the cars they fled. The Van Tonder couple had been married for only five months. -- Her father's and Sarel's brother Gert also died 'under mysterious circumstances in an old-age home whichhas never been fully investigated: "He was assaulted'. She asked: "How many times must a family go through this? We just don't understand this'. http://mobserver.co.za/19032/aangeval/ =================== PIC: THE TREASURED FAMILY PORTRAIT: : Front ltr: Claudia Van Wyk (daughter); murder victim Janse van Rensburg, daughter-in-law Hanlie Janse van Rensburg: middle Westley J van Rensburg (grandson) Rear ltr: Son-in-law Frik van Wyk, Blumcke J van Rensburg (granddaughter) Luke Steyn (grandson). Steyn and Charl J van Rensburg (sons) and and Steyn en Charl J van Rensburg (sons); Doreen J van Rensburg (daughter-in-law). ======================= Papiki Mokwena and Eric Mtombeni in Middelburg court for murdering foreman Sarel Janse van Rensburg on farm Tonteldoos 18September2014 These two dumb-stared males appeared in the Middelburg court and of course both are so poor that they need to apply for legal aid funds from the State Public prosecutor Riaan Louwrens opposed bail and their case was postponed to a date next week for the formal bail application. It was found that Mr Janse van Rensburg had been extensively tortured with a 'knife' while he was tied up - and then was killed with a head-shot just after 10am Thursday-morning 18 September 2014. It was initially believed that he had dead from being stabbed but it was also established that he was shot in the head. Local community volunteers and police helped trap and arrest these males. One of the volunteers who was present at the arrest, Barries Labuschagne, said the men showed the police where they had hidden the stolen firearms and a few stolen goods belonging to Mr Janse van Rensburg. The SAPS also suspects that they were involved in other violent crimes in the area. Tortured while tied up: then shot dead: widower Farm manager Sarel Janse van Rensburg, 75, farm Froggy Pond, Tonteldoos outside Dullstroom, Limpopo Sept 18 2014 ( Beeld daily Afrikaans paper reports that the farm manager's brother Johan, 77 and his sister in law Gloudien 62, were also murdered two years ago in June 202 on their farm near Baltimore. ) The farm manager is the fifth farm murder in Limpopo since July 2014. The murdered man's daughter Claudine van Wyk said her father was stabbed with a knife in his chest - and then he was shot dead with a bullet into his head. "He would have celebrated his 76th birthday in November,' his daughter told Beeld. She said the police had to restrain her from seeing her dad when she rushed to the farm: 'his head is one big mess', she said. SAPS colonel Ronél Otto said Mr Janse van Rensburg was working on the farm at 11am by himself. Two black males showed up asking for jobs and water. The widower went into the house to fetch water and was attacked inside the homestead, where he lived alone. Afriforum spokesman Ian Cameron said 'our information is that Mr Janse van Rensburg was first beaten with a steel bar before he was tied up with his own shoe-laces. "When he was tied up, they stabbed him in the chest with a knife - and then shot him dead by firing a bullet through his head.' Their only loot was a tin with cash and some portable household goods. The farm workers came across his body - workers and neighbours all reported that they had seen two black men run away through the fields. The police were called and the two males, 21 and 25, were arrested with the money-tin in their possession. One man was recently released on bail for an earlier house-robbery said Otto. http://www.beeld.com/nuus/2014-09-19-gemartel-voor-moord ------- DOUBLE MURDERS OF GLOUDINE AND JOHAN JANSE VAN RENSBURG: Murders of Johan and Gloudien Janse van Rensburg: the 'white English-speaking media's viewpoint towards the murders of Afrikaners on farms in 2012: to this writer, it was all about 'race'... he didn't see the inhumanity behind these murders of Afrikaans-speaking whites at all - he instead focused on the community starting a creche for white children 'only'... Farmers' Weekly June 26 2012 SHAWN CHRISTIE WROTE IN A COMMENTARY 'on being white"-- : "Two very different farmer reactions to recent episodes of farm violence" Tuesday, June 26, 2012 "The farmers formed a band with the shocking name of "Plaasmoord"... "A few months ago while bumming around North West I stumbled upon a Pieter Koen gig in a district of game ranches called Koedoesrand. It was nothing more, nothing less than a farmer’s hall in the bushveld somewhere between Swaartwater and Alldays, and it was an all-white affair – a radio message earlier in the day had made that clear. Everyone was in high spirits. Before I had finished my first brandy and Coke one of the district’s moving spirits pointed out some saplings and explained that several father-and-son teams had spent a day planting trees – an exercise intended to instil and entrench the determination to stay put on the land no matter what the future brought. This same individual enthusiastically showed me the kindergarten the community had built for working mothers. I said something like “It’s good to see farmers appreciating the life-pressures of female farm labourers.” But I had misunderstood – the kindergarten was for white children only. The blacks, said the pillar of the community, could not afford the fees. I believe most of those gathered in the Voortrekker Saal held similar views on racial integration, but towards the end of the night I met Wilhelm Coetsee and Gideon Swart, two self-confessed dwarstrekkers, who had formed a band and given it the shocking name Plaasmoord in order to talk to their community about racism as a contributing factor to farm violence. It was heartening to know that they were tolerated and to think that their soulful music, so far removed from the ‘Meisie-meisie’ garbage blaring from the hall, was possibly touching hearts and minds in the isolated and racially-divided district. At this point Koedoesrand had not experienced a violent farm attack for years, a blessing the head of the farm watch put down to the fact that there were no urban settlements nearby and very few roads on which to make a getaway. JOHAN AND GLOUDINE (JANSE) VAN RENSBURG SHOT ON FARM NEAR TOLWE: and WILLIE AND SINA BOSHOFF BRUTALLY ATTACKED ON THEIR FARM IN BESTERS, KZN: Tragedy struck last week, however, when Johan and Gloudine van Rensburg were shot on their farm near Tolwe. Johan was killed, Gloudine is still fighting for her life. I do not yet know the specifics of the case but, having just returned from Besters in KwaZulu-Natal where, in the same week, Willie and Sina Boshoff were brutally attacked on their farm by soccer-boot wearing youths, I’m struck by obvious differences in the way the two farming communities (and their representative organisations) have reacted. Of course there are limits to the comparison because NOBODY DIED IN BESTERS last week. On the other hand, there’s every suggestion that the Boshoffs’ attackers meant to kill, and that Willie’s life – he was being choked – was saved by a heroic shoulder charge from 76-year-old Sina. The attackers stole four firearms and then – disturbingly, because it suggests advance knowledge of the way in which farmers react to distress calls – lay in wait at the gate with the stolen rifle. Needless to say the whole experience left the Besters farming community very shaken. NO REPORTS ABOUT FARM ATTACKS DATED 2012? Google Willie and Sina Boshoff and a few articles about a farm attack come up, but look at the dates and you’ll see these are from 2009. There are no reports whatsoever dated 2012. The Boshoffs have been attacked twice on their farm, but only the first attack was reported. The recent attack, which was far more serious, was deliberately kept from the media. JOHAN AND GLOUDINE JANSE VAN RENSBURG'S double farm murders: dramatic headlines.. Now Google Johan and Gloudine van Rensburg and you’ll be faced by a page of dramatic headlines, like ‘I’ll f*cking shoot them, says son’, and ‘Do farmers have to prepare for war?’ This last bit of JINGOISM was actually the header of a statement put out by Transvaal Agricultural Union of South Africa's deputy president and Safety Committee chairperson Henry Geldenhuys on Thursday last week (21 June). It was, to my mind, a rather shameless, ill-advised bit of politicking. Geldenhuys essentially linked the farm murder to ANCYL deputy president Ronald Lamola’s comments of the day before, to the effect that Africans need an act as forceful as war to get land back from white land owners. Lamola’s comments were disgracefully reckless, but Geldenhuys’ emotional riposte is almost as disturbing, because it demonstrates no understanding whatsoever of the very complicated (and precarious) context in which the ANCYL is currently walking and talking, having had its head literally chopped off by the party’s senior leadership in the run up to the all-important Mangaung conference. The youth league is on the ropes, and it’s clearly decided it’s best fight-back option is to appeal to popular disgruntlement while at the same time stoking the coals under big-ticket political issues like land reform. If political dynamics were ocean currents, this fight between the current ruling elite and the country’s narrowly nationalistic youth would be the Agulhas – huge and very difficult to navigate, especially for minority groups in their little boats. Rattling sabres as the boat proceeds to pitch and toss on these waves seems utterly pointless to me, and quite possibly a dangerous distraction from the real work at hand. Then again, is the Besters approach any better? As a journalist I feel compelled to say no, because the country desperately needs to study and talk about issues as complicated and painful as farm violence if we’re ever to come up with solutions. Instead of linking one family’s tragedy to a politician’s rhetoric, we ought to be seeking to understand the specifics of instances of all forms of farm violence, be it black on white, white on black, or black on black. The Besters attack, for example, is potentially an entry point for a fascinating investigation into the impact of land reform on rural security. Besters is the site of one of the country’s major land reform projects. Academics and policy advisors have analysed the transfer model for years, but nobody can really tell you whether the changes in the district’s social dynamics have given rise to violent crime, or whether, in fact, the more equitable distribution of land has eased tensions. But can the media be relied upon for the depth of analysis that’s needed? Farm attacks tend to be reported in sensationalist language on front pages, because they speak to the darkest imaginings of South Africa’s nervous middle-classes and therefore sell papers. The Boshoff family, having been through both an attack (and the experience of being reported on) before, chose not to go through that process again. It’s also the policy of the Besters Farmers Association (BFA) to be circumspect in general when talking to the media, because the experience of being a land reform test case has repeatedly brought journalists into the area. Journalists who, claim the BFA’s leaders, do more harm than good by failing to get to grips with the area’s complicated and precarious social ecology. They feel their problems won’t be solved in the media, but rather by the brokering of effective partnerships between commercial and emerging farmers, and between all farmers and the police and other provincial service providers. Which strategy serves farmers better, the cover of silence or the howl of rage? I’ve made my bias fairly obvious, but in the coming week I’m hoping to put this question to Rory Pilisoff, author of The Unbearable Whiteness of Being, which explores how the communication strategies of Zimbabwe’s commercial farmers changed over a 40-year period, and whether these strategies ultimately served the farmers or contributed to their downfall. " I WONDER HOW SHAWN CHRISTIE, THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE ABOVE DRIVEL NOW RESPONDS TO THE ONGOING GENOCIDE OF WHITE FARMERS, INCLUDING ENGLISH-SPEAKERS, TODAY? The COUPLE's daughter who had to struggle with the double-murders of her parents, on September 18 2014 was confronted with the cruel torture-murder of the beloved 79-year-old uncle who had become like a second father to her: Middelburg farm-manager Sarel Janse van Rensburg, was so extensively tortured before they executed him with a bullet in his brain, that his face was onrecognisably smashed to a pulp. "They mutilated him, said his heart-broken niece to the Middelburg Observer. When the two 'suspects' were brought in by the farm-watch who had captured them, she asked them repeatedly: 'Why". The two thugs replied: 'sorry, it was an accident'. http://www.censorbugbear.org/farmitracker/reports/view/2676

Murder of Chantelle Jacobs, reported by Heidelberg Medics on 11 October 2014 20:58 Report by https://www.facebook.com/HeidelbergMedicsVolunteers/posts/885626471447937: "George Booker Jnr (Medic 5) calls in a possible gunshot on the Balfour road. Medic 1 activated the rest of the medics and ordered them to proceed onto the R23 until more info was available. While responding medic 1 noticed Anthony on of our best ILS paramedics from local GPG responding the opposite direction and decided to call him. He confirmed he was en route to a gunshot victim. Alot of calls started streaming in on Medic 1's phone and soon she noticed blue lights just left off the road towards an entrance of one of the businesses on the small holdings. She told Anthony that she had found the incident. Medic 1, 2, 5 and Jurie stopped on scene and proceeded toward the vehicle. A friend of the couple was found on the fresh scene and he quickly gave medic 1 a short break down of what had happened. A robbery was suspected and extremely unfortunately the couple arrived just as the criminals was leaving the site and their presence had them shaken which lead them to start shooting violently in their direction. At the vehicle the medics found a young white female who was fatally wounded by several gun shots to her chest and one to her abdomen. Her fianceè was taken to hospital already by friends. He suffered a gunshot to his left leg and right arm and was admitted to the ward. Medic one and her crew did several check on the young woman and she was declared dead by medic one on 11 October 2014 21:15. Our most sincerest condolences to her fianceè and their families and friends. She was a beautifull young women who had sadly lost her entirely life to crime in this country.

Oct 12 2014: Violence-inciting hatespeech: Cape-coloured rapper Dookoom sings in the typical Afrikaans patois of the Cape Flats coloured population: "Lets go burn down farms of farmer Abrahams' ... VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EZbEeGhTw&feature=youtu.be It is very relevant that 'Dookoom' is using the language of the young Cape coloured farm-workers in this rap-song - and the timing of this violence-inciting song is a very obvious provocation arriving so shortly after the Cosatu trade union West Cape secretary Tony Ehrenreich recently threatened that '(white-owned) farms will be "occupied on a large scale” and that a so-called “war for justice” will begin, "if farmers do not stop evicting workers from their farms - and hot on the heels of the hearing about farm-safety at the Human Rights Commission, where shocking testimony revealed that many white farmers are being tortured and murdered on commercial farms."Afriforum's spokesman for community-safety Ian Cameron warned that 'Ehrenreich is instigating tension between workers and farmers and he encourages violence on farms at a time where farm attacks (and gruesome farm murders) are a shocking reality in the country. He is also causing further conflict regarding land. The irresponsible utterances by Cosatu polarise communities in rural areas and will lead to further retrenchments,” Ian Cameron said, and warned that 'farmers should get involved in community safety networks to keep land occupiers away, as (this) Government does not have the political will to safeguard them or their farms. We will have a famine stricken country without farmers. Even Mr Ehrenreich is fed by farmers, whom he is now portraying as the enemy,” Cameron concluded. https://www.afriforum.co.za/afriforum-says-western-cape-farmers-protect-farms-large-scale/ Ernst Roets, deputy ceo of civil rights movement Afriforum, warns that although freedom of speech is one of the pillars of democracy, there are limits to this right in South Africa as racial conflict continues here. "The right to freedom of expression may not propagate war, contain hatespeech or incite violence'. The rapper refers to the Dutch founder of the Cape of Good Hope East India Company as 'a thug ('skollie') who landed with 'convicted criminals'. Roets: while this person tries to make money with his populism, an excessive number of (white) farmers are indeed being murdered and tortured, as was testified to at the recent Human Rights Commission hearings. http://maroelamedia.co.za/blog/nuus/suid-afrika/video-liedjie-moedig-mense-aan-om-plase-af-te-brand/ Afriforum warns West Cape farms 'to protect their farms on large scale"

Government official Mrs Wessels, who was attacked in January by two men who stabbed her 20 times at her government job in Pretoria, now faces an internal hearing for 'misconduct' - for speaking up about her ordeal with Beeld Afrikaans daily in January 2014. Apparently government officials are not allowed to speak up publicly about the (lack of) security at government buildings. In January this year, she had spoken to Beeld from her hospital bed on how two (black) men attacked and stabbed her repeatedly in her office on the first floor of Harvest House in Hamilton Street, Pretoria. Astrid Samboer, the Gauteng provincial manager of the Public Servants Association, told Beeld that the charge against Mrs Wessels is 'ridiculous and we will continue to support her. She is being victimised while the department has done nothing to support her or support her in her trauma.' “The department also has not yet dealt with her application for workmen's compensation for being injured on the job (by the attackers) and the department's socalled internal investigation has come to nothing. The trade union advised Mrs Wessels to submit a complaint against her employer. “The department also has not yet dealt with her application for workmen's compensation for being injured on the job (by the attackers) and the department's socalled internal investigation has come to nothing. The trade union advised Mrs Wessels to submit a complaint against her employer.The badly traumatised Mrs Wessels told Beeld from her hospital-bed how the men attacked her just after 13h00 in her office, put a rag over her mouth andtied her up. One demanded her car-keys. When he couldn't find them, he produced a switch-blade knife and stabbed her with it - twenty times. The thugs ran away after Mrs Wessels' landline phone started ringing. A cleaner found Mrs Wessels just after 14h00 in her badly injured condition and she was rushed to hospital. http://www.netwerk24.com/nuus/2014-10-14-klag-teen-vrou-wat-n-aanval-uitpraat Klag teen vrou wat ná aanval uitpraat Deur Sonja Carstens Dinsdag 14 Oktober 2014 3:00 vm. Hanlie Wessels ’n Werknemer van die departement van landbou, bosbou en visserye wat minstens 20 steekwonde aan haar arms opgedoen het toe sy in haar kantoor aangeval is, word tugverhoor omdat sy oor haar nagmerrie-ondervinding gepraat het. Hanlie Wessels (48) moet op 20 Oktober in ’n departementele tugverhoor verskyn weens beweerde wangedrag. Sy word daarvan beskuldig dat sy die departement in ’n slegte lig gestel het toe sy in Januarie aan Beeld vertel het hoe twee mans haar in haar kantoor op die eerste verdieping van Harvest House in Hamiltonstraat aangeval het, het Astrid Samboer, Gautengse provinsiale bestuurder van die Public Servants Association (PSA), gister gesê. “Die PSA bestempel die klag teen Wessels as belaglik en sal haar daarin bystaan. Sy word geviktimiseer terwyl die departement nog niks gedoen om haar by te staan of te ondersteun nie. “Die departement het ook nog nie haar eis vir ’n besering aan diens weens die voorval afgehandel nie. Van die departement se interne ondersoek na die voorval het dadels gekom,” het Samboer gesê. Die vakbond het Wessels aangeraai om ’n grief teen haar werkgewer in te dien. ’n Erg getraumatiseerde Wessels het in Januarie uit haar hospitaalbed vertel hoe die mans haar net ná 13:00 in haar kantoor oorval, ’n lap in haar mond gedruk en haar vasgebind het. Een wou haar motorsleutels hê. Toe hy dit nie kry nie, het hy ’n knipmes uitgehaal en haar daarmee gesteek. Die mans het weggehardloop nadat Wessels se landlynfoon begin lui het. ’n Skoonmaker het net ná 14:00 op Wessels afgekom toe sy die vullisdrom wou leegmaak. Wessels het meer as 20 steekwonde aan haar arms opgedoen wat met steke geheg is. Sy het ure voor die aanval navraag gedoen oor ’n grief wat sy verlede jaar teen ’n kollega ingedien het, maar wat nog nie gehanteer is nie. Volgens Samboer het die departement nou nog nie dié grief van Wessels gehanteer nie. Die departement se kommunikasie-afdeling, sy minister en sy direkteur-generaal was dae ná die aanval, wat die polisie ondersoek, nie bewus daarvan nie. Nadat Beeld dit onder hul aandag gebring het, is veiligheidsmaatreëls by die gebou verskerp en ’n interne ondersoek van stapel gestuur. Wessels het sedert sy uit die hospitaal ontslaan is nie op herhaaldelike navrae gereageer nie. Makenosi Maroo, woordvoerder van die departement, was gister nie bewus van die klag wat Wessels in die gesig staar nie, maar sou dit ondersoek. http://www.netwerk24.com/nuus/2014-10-14-klag-teen-vrou-wat-n-aanval-uitpraat

The newspaper quoted the (WHITE BRITISH) British member of the group as accusing farmers of "treating workers worse than animals" - suggesting that if there was violence the farmers would have brought it down on themselves. (he did not provide any evidence of court cases in this regard). POLITICSWEB writes: "The video was widely praised by race-aware intellectuals: . ============================= Following is the entire article. POLITICS WEB WRITES: "Racial propaganda against white minority on the resurgence in South Africa - 15 October 2014 --" Race-aware intellectuals (of all colours) increasingly leading the charge against the country's white minority Over the past several months there has been a striking resurgence of racial propaganda in South Africa, directed against the country's white minority. This follows in the slipstream of the African National Congress government's renewed legislative efforts to solve the race question in South Africa by inter alia progressively limiting whites in all private and public sector institutions to their percentage of the total population; the efforts to gradually Africanise small business through the amended B-BBEE codes; and the vociferous calls from the Economic Freedom Fighters, and elements within the ANC, for land owned by whites to be expropriated without compensation for the benefit of the population as a whole. It also occurs in a context wherein the ANC's past efforts to deal with this question have collapsed into a morass of state dysfunction, corruption, high unemployment and low economic growth - while creating a narrow and hugely wealthy politically-connected elite. However, unlike in the past, and particularly during the Mbeki-era, this propaganda is not being driven by the ANC and its cadres, but rather by race-aware individuals in South Africa's mainstream media (of all colours) otherwise quite contemptuous of the Zuma administration. This propaganda is generally characterised by an intense focus on any incident of violence or indignity inflicted by whites on blacks; allegations of continuing and undeserved "white privilege"; claims that property, and particularly land, owned by whites was "stolen"; the effort to downplay or diminish incidents of black on white violence no matter how brutal; and outraged reactions to any call for equal treatment for individuals from the white minority. The following examples are illustrative of the febrile atmosphere of South Africa's media, when it comes to racial issues. In February this year TimesLive reported - in a story titled "Another race attack at top university" - that "In an apparent racist attack, two white students at the University of the Free State (UFS) allegedly drove deliberately over a black student and repeatedly beat him when he confronted them." The newspaper claimed that the two students - subsequently named as Cobus Muller and Charl Blom - had, while driving through the main campus of the university in their bakkie, tried to swerve into three black women students (while "calling them kaffirs") before hitting a fifth-year economics student Dumane ‘Muzi' Gwebu while he was walking on the pavement. When Gwebu had confronted Muller and Blom at a nearby residence they had viciously attacked and beaten him. In a statement issued to the newspaper the UFS said its leadership was "shocked and outraged" by the incident, that the two students involved had been tracked down and handed over to the police, and had been "expelled" from the university. Blom and Muller later stated that two days after the incident they had approached Vice-Chancellor and Rector, Professor Jonathan Jansen, to give their side of the story. Jansen had refused to hear them out and had instead immediately called in campus security who had handed them over to the police. This incident provoked an outraged response across social media with much discussion of the continued problem of white racism in South Africa, and what to do about it. -- Eusebius McKaiser the Rhodes Scholar, Power FM talk-show host and columnist for Independent newspapers, tweeted: "racism is not a myth. This is its face". UFS incident #InDefenceOfDamaneGwebu 20Feb2014pagegrab A day or two later Jansen wrote an open letter to all UFS students indirectly accusing Blom and Muller, without naming them, of being "violent and hateful persons" and "criminals" who still act as "these are the days of apartheid." -- He concluded by stating: "The two former students were expelled and will now face justice in the criminal courts. It is hoped that in the course of time they will come to their senses and seek restoration and reconciliation with the student they so callously harmed. They are not part of the university community anymore. That is the kind of university we are." however -- Gwebu's allegations were subsequently examined both by the South African Human Rights Commission and in the trial of Blom and Muller on charges of reckless driving, crimen injuria, attempted murder and assault. In their trial Blom and Muller denied that they had intentionally hit Gwebu with the vehicle, uttered any sort of racial slur or initiated their assault. According to their version Gwebu had dragged Muller out of the stationary vehicle and begun assaulting him. Muller had then head-butted Gwebu in self-defence. Gwebu had then gone after Muller again, before Blom had pulled him off.It emerged in court that in their original statements the two black women called as witnesses had said the bakkie had not hit Gwebu, nor did they see him fall. He had also walked away normally. They subsequently changed their statement, after meeting with the prosecution, to say that Gwebu could have been hit. It also emerged from the SAHRC investigation that no witness could corroborate Gwebu's claim that the k-word had been uttered, nor had he himself claimed to have heard it personally. TWO AFRIKANERS FOUND NOT GUILTY: On September 9 magistrate Rasheed Mathews found Blom and Muller not guilty on all charges. -- Gwebu was found to have been a prejudiced, hostile and unreliable witness who contradicted himself repeatedly. -- Gwebu's testimony was also not corroborated by other witnesses or by the physical evidence. Following their acquittal the UFS issued a statement defending the original decision to "suspend" Blom and Muller. Jansen did however apologise "on behalf of the UFS to Cobus Muller and Charl Blom, their parents, and their families, for the disruption that the suspension brought in their lives and for the stress they had to bear during this difficult period. ‘For that, I am truly sorry,' he said." More recently, the incident in which two white male University of Stellenbosch students dressed up as Venus and Serena Williams at a private fancy dress party, and blackened their faces, met with an equally irate response after a picture slipped into the public domain via social media. Although the students quickly apologised, the Daily Maverick thought this incident of sufficient national import to devote three opinion pieces - by Marelise van der Merwe, Mariann Thamm, and Sisonke Msimang - to denouncing the students. Thamm laid great emphasis on collective historic white guilt and black victimhood; while Msimang wrote that the best that could be said of the students "that they are naïve and unconsciously racist." The race-aware (white) ventriloquist Conrad Koch also expressed his indignation by tweeting through the medium of his (black) alter ego Chester Missing: -- "White people who think 20 years is enough time to have fixed apartheid, but not enough time for them to learn that blackface is kak"... (23Sept2014pagegrabTwitter) Black columnist Eufesius McKaiser to conference:'BLACKS NEED FEEL NO GUILT OVER DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WHITE CHILDREN AND WHITE YOUNG ADULTS WHEN IT CAME TO THE ALLOCATION OF POSITIONS IN JOBS AND SCHOOLS: ... In February this year McKaiser told a conference (http://politicsweb.co.za/politicsweb/view/politicsweb/en/page71619?oid=540318&sn=Detail&pid=71619) that "no sense of guilt" needed to be felt over discrimination against children and young adults on the basis of their (white) race when it came to the allocation of positions in schools and jobs. In his writings McKaiser - who recently confessed to the Sunday Times that he "did once buy sneakers for about R13 000 cash" - has repeatedly written about the "unearned privileges" of young white South Africans who attended the same sort of schools and universities he did. In a column in The Star on Monday this week McKaiser, who has recently left Power FM after a contractual dispute, wrote that the sense of shock that white individuals feel when being passed over for an appointment or promotion, in favour of a (less qualified?) black candidate, reflects an "unexamined sense of entitlement" and "an embedded, internalised sense of superiority." He wrote: "There is sheer arrogance involved here on the part of the white South African who can't make sense of his or her failure without sustaining a secret belief that they are intrinsically more capable than blacks. You can only lament and be shocked by fewer job offers or promotions in the job sector if you think you deserve these more than blacks. Nothing innocent anchors such shock and disappointment. A sense of superiority, left over from apartheid, fuels this misplaced sense of being democracy's victim. If you conceived of the possibility you might not be the best, other responses to failure beyond shock will open up. Apartheid's beneficiaries aren't yet in that head-space." McKaiser added that QUOTE "whites still need to do "psychological and moral work" and accept "that past discrimination, not genetic superiority or sheer effort, explains why you're materially better off than me and my family." The underlying sentiment expressed by McKaiser, and other race-aware commentators, is that what the minority possess today was gained at the expense of the racial majority, through foul measures, over the course of hundreds of years. The 'corrective measures' being currently taken against this minority are both justified and, indeed, considerably more lenient than this race deserves, given their past crimes." end QUOTE -- PoliticsWeb writes: "This attitude may help explain why while the UFS and "Williams Sisters" incidents, referred to above, were met with public outrage, violent attacks on white and particularly Afrikaner farmers are met with equanimity in race-aware media circles.

(Read: citypress.co.za/news/dookoom and citypress.co.za/columnists/dookoom 12Oct12014pagegrab) Ahead of publication, City Press had approached the Afrikaner civil rights organisation, AfriForum, for comment in an apparent effort to give some "balance" to its coverage. The organisation's deputy CEO, Ernst Roets, told the newspaper: -- "Farm murders are a massive problem in South Africa, and to romanticise burning down a farm is ridiculous. We are considering laying charges of hate speech." This comment, in turn, provoked an indignant reaction from the race-aware UCT constitutional law professor, (the coloured man) Pierre de Vos. In an article for the Daily Maverick De Vos, whose chair is funded by the Claude Leon Foundation, described AfriForum as an "organisation that fights for the preservation of white privilege" and the song's deployment of Afrikaans as "exquisite". He then entered into a long denunciation of white South Africans, stating inter alia: "For many (but not all) ‘white' South Africans their racial privilege thus remains comfortingly invisible - much like the air they breathe. When somebody claims ‘not to see race' I try to give that person the benefit of the doubt and to assume he or she does not have the intellectual tools to realise that such a denial helps many of us ‘white' South Africans to remain soothingly blind to the structural racism from which we benefit - whether we choose to do so or not." AfriForum's comments also provoked an angry response from the journalist Lloyd Geyde. Writing in The Con, an online magazine, he stated (wihout providing any proof): "The fallacy of the ‘white victim' is becoming nauseating..."Farm workers are routinely beaten, raped or murdered in South Africa - just take a look at our court rolls - but white farmers hog the headlines with their claims of ‘genocide'. It's clear slavery and apartheid are still alive and well in South Africa; they are just obfuscated with the language of democracy now." Finally, in an article in the Mail & Guardian online, the video was also highly commended by the EFF MP and former employee of the European Union funded Foundation for Human Rights, Andile Mngxitama. Mngxitama, who has long called for the dispossession of white farmers on Zimbabwean-style lines, described his interaction with the (white) director of the video as follows: WHITE DIRECTOR OF MUSIC VIDEO TOLD BY BLACKRACIST COLUMNIST "DON'T EXPECT ANY MERCY FROM BLACKS: -- "One can't help imagine Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained [in viewing the video]. Like the movie, black resistance is permitted by a white creator. Mutant is a front man of a white band. The video itself is produced by a talented white man who goes by the name Sirius Tales. When I tell him [at the launch] that he has pulled a Tarantino, he is pleased. But then I go further and tell him at the day of reckoning he must not expect any mercy from blacks, he frowns with disappointment and asks, -- ‘But why?' I tell him I have no words to speak the weight of 700 years of black oppression. Dialogue ends." - http://www.politicsweb.co.za/politicsweb/view/politicsweb/en/page72308?oid=746906&sn=Marketingweb+detail&pid=90389

Murders: Cape Town cyclist Johan Schoeman and Pietermaritzburg cyclist Ronnie Mansell, 71 both killed in hit-and-run while cycling: "A man from Klipheuwel squatter camp hands himself in the next day, admitting to the hit-and-run homicide: http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/man-hands-himself-in-after-cyclist-killed-1.1765444#.VD-PP1fKGos Report: "Man hands himself in after cyclist killed Date: October 15 2014 at 11:55am Journalist: Nontando Mposo, Cape Argus daily, Cape Town - The motorist alleged to have killed a cyclist in a hit-and-run accident on Monday night has handed himself over to the police. Durbanville police spokesman, Lieutenant Marcell Rhode told the Cape Argus that a 40-year-old man from the Klipheuwel informal settlement in Durbanville had handed himself over to the police at 7am on Tuesday and admitted to running over 47-year-old Johan Schoeman. “He is in police custody,” Rhode said. The date for his court appearance had yet to be confirmed. Johan Schoeman, of Eversdal, was knocked down on Klipheuwel Road near Durbanville. A witness told the Cape Argus the 'accident had torn Schoeman’s bicycle to shreds." Schoeman was a partner at HGG Financial Group in Durbanville. The chief executive of the group, Hendrik Gerryts, said on Tuesday they were shocked by Schoeman’s death. “In his five years with the HGG family Schoeman truly made his mark. His dedication and client focus were commendable, as was his outstanding attention to detail. “Our hearts go out to his wife, Elzette, and his two children, Emily (8) and Isabelle (6),” said Gerryts. Schoeman’s funeral will take place on Friday at the Dutch Reformed Church in Durbanville. Following the incident, the Pedal Power Association (PPA) called on the government to take action to make the roads safer for cyclists. Association chairman Steve Hayward said the group was deeply saddened by the deaths of Schoeman and another cyclist, Ronnie Mansell, 71, who was killed over the weekend. Mr Mansell was knocked over by a taxi on his way to the annual Amashova Durban Classic cycling race in Pietermaritzburg. He survived the collision but later died at a local health care facility. “Without positive intervention from the government, we are going to see more of these unfortunate incidents. Cyclists will be maimed and killed while motorists will start going to jail,” said Hayward. “We as PPA challenge the authorities to do more in the protection of the cycling community. This starts in checking the competency of the motorist at a testing level, as well as providing more space for cyclists at a road planning level.” The PPA is South Africa’s largest cycling association with more than 15 000 members. Hayward said cyclists countrywide were concerned about their safety on the roads because of poorly designed roads, aggressive driving and the lack of signage, as well as not enough safe cycling lanes. “To date no motorist responsible for the death of a cyclist has got a meaningful sentence, some even get off scot-free,” said Hayward. “There is obviously something wrong with our legal justice system and PPA is not going to sit and watch as criminals get away with murder. If this case has merit, PPA will take the necessary action.” nontando.mposo@inl.co.za Cape Argus http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/man-hands-himself-in-after-cyclist-killed-1.1765444#.VD-PP1fKGos =========================== Cyclist Ronnie Mansell's hit-and-run death by taxi stuns riding mates - 14 Oct 2014 The Witness, journalist: Kyle Venktess "cyclist Ronnie Mansell’s death before the start of the weekend’s Amashova race in Pietermartzburg has robbed his riding mates of a loved “family” member. This year’s race was the first 71-year-old Mansell’s tight-knit group of fellow pensioner cyclists did not cross the line together. Mansell died in hospital on Sunday after a collision involving a taxi before the start of the race. The Bluff, Durban, resident who successfully completed last year’s event, was remembered as a “gentleman” of his sport and of his club as his friends mourned his passing. Mansell cycled during the week with eight other older riders who regarded each other as family. Derek Stringer (81), founding member of the Bluff Athletics Club and part of Mansell’s cycling group, had known him for over 35 years. He said he always kept his close group of cyclists laughing. “We were not a cycling group; we were more like a family. We cycled three times a week and met every Friday for lunch. “We attended each other’s birthday celebrations and family events. We even went away on weekends together,” he said. Stringer said when they heard the news of Mansell’s accident, they heard he had only broken his leg. “During the race we got the news Ronnie had died and my daughter and I decided to finish the race in his name. “He was such a gentleman and a real family man,” Stringer said. He added their small group always finished the Amashova together and had entered many cycling events. Bluff Athletics Club chairperson Kevin Adams said the club was saddened to hear of Mansell’s passing, as he had been a long-time member. “Ronnie was as old as the Bluff Athletics Club. I’ve only been at the club for seven years, but he’s been with the club for over 30. “He was an absolute gentleman; always willing to drop whatever he was doing to help anyone in need.” Mansell leaves behind a wife, four children and grandchildren. http://www.witness.co.za/index.php?showcontent&global[_id]=127234
