Survived: January 31 2015 - Badly bruised Marieta Kruger 71, ambushed, kicked on her face, daughter-in-law Susara also attacked by 3 black males at Nylstroom farm: - journalist: Ronél van Jaarsveld Pretoria News - 13 Feb 2015 Nylstroom: A brief visit to a girlfriend in the late afternoon left a nasty turn for 71-year-old Mrs Marieta Kruger 71, whose face was left badly bruised after 3 black males kicked her face after ambushing her upon her return home to the farm of her children Alwyn and Susara Kruger. The farm is located on the Kranskop road and the couple own the restaurant/boma Jagkamp (Hunting Camp). It happened on Saterdag, 31 January 2015 as she drove into the garage, climbed out - and immediately was caught by three black males wearing balaclaves: one armed with a firearm, one with a handmade knife and the third with a thick steel-pipe. The old Afrikaans lady still tried to take the gunman's weapon away from him and was thrown roughly to the ground and kicked on her face by the attackers. Her daughter in law Susara was sick at home and in bed and heard her screaming. She rushed to help her thinking she may have fallen - and as she opened the door she also was attacked. The two Afrikaner women were dragged into the homestead."We had no cash in the house. I wept and told them to just take anything but to just not hurt us, "said Susara to "Die Pos' journalist who wrote the story. Strangely, the blacks weren't at all interested in the airgun or the .22 rifles (legally registered) but took laptops, wallets, cellphones and costume jewellery. The two woman were locked into the young Kruger couple's bedroom because it was the only room with a key in the door. We waited a few minutes after they left and then used the brick which was in front of the door to bash a hole in the door so that we could escape. We had no cellphones left to call for help. I bought my new little car in December and feared that they would have stolen it. When they grabbed me in the garage I threw the key underneath the car. However the key and the car were still there and we drove to the Jagkamp where my son was and called the police from there.' Die Pos writes that during their visit her body was still black and blue in places, her eye still blue and swollen as they had kicked her in the face. She had made a valiant attempt to cover her bruises with make up. The woman reportedly were shocked, but other wise unharmed. "We usually are so security conscious, with heavy burglar-bars everywhere but even our fierce little Jack Russell dog was peaceful this time,' said Susara. Warrant officer James Findlay of the Nylstroom (the ANC name is Modimolle) police is investigating only a charge of house robbery - not of attempted murder. https://www.facebook.com/boerekrisisaksie/photos/a.178568022169751.48293.116298045063416/1088776274482250/?type=1&theater

Johnny het soos sy gewoonte is, heel eerste diè hondjie en hul ander hond se kos reggemaak en die kombuisdeur oopgemaak om vir die honde te voer.</p><p>Die oomblik toe hy buk om die kos neer te sit, het twee rowers uit die donker op hom afgestorm en ’n vuurwapen op hom gerig. Sofia sê sy het haar man hoor skreeu en onmiddellik besef hulle word aangeval. Die twee mans het die egpaar met ’n vuurwapen aangehou en gesê hulle sal nie seerkry as hulle saamwerk nie. Sofia het al die kontant in die huis aan die mans oorhandig maar hulle wou weet waar die winkel se geld is. Sy het aan hulle verduidelik dat die winkel se geld direk bank toe geneem word. Die Perreiras is toe vasgebind waarna die rowers die kluissleutel wou hê. Johnny se pa, Johnny snr, die eienaar van die PnP het egter die kluissleutel per ongeluk saamgeneem op ’n oorsese reis. Sofia het aan die rowers voorgestel dat hulle die kluis saamneem. Nog twee rowers het kort hierna in die huis ingekom. Voor die rowers vertek het, het nog twee mans, wat volgens Sofia baie aggressief was, ook in die huis ingekom. Die ses het die huis weer deursoek vir waardevolle items waarna hulle die kluis op die onderneming se bakkie gelaai het en met kontant en juwele gevlug het. Sofia sê haar honde het ’n geruime tyd elke aand in dieselfde rigting gekyk en onrustig geblaf. Sy besef nou dit moes die rowers wees wat verkenning gedoen het.

Man shot execution style in front of family at braai One of the suspects then shot Clur in the back of his head Tereasa Ferrari and Nicolene Smalman | 4 February 2014 09:03 HECTORSPRUIT – A man was shot execution style in front of his wife while they were having a braai in their lapa on Sunday night. However, justice was served when the two men responsible were killed hours later. Although this happened in town, another family was attacked on a smallholding outside Malalane on Friday. It is not clear at this stage whether the two incidents could be linked. Mr Leon Christo Clur (age unknown) and his wife, Ms Marli Clur (47) were having a braai with the family at about 20:00 in Blackwood Street in Hectorspruit. According to Komatipoort police spokesman, Capt Sarie van der Walt, two men armed with firearms which looked like pistols, entered the lapa. The suspects ordered the family to be quiet. Mr Clur engaged in a fight with the suspects, but they managed to push him to the floor. “One of the suspects then shot him in the back of his head,” Van der Walt said. He lost consciousness immediately. Ms Clur asked the suspects to stop shooting, telling them they could take anything they wanted. The men demanded money on which Ms Clur told them it was in the house. She took them inside and they took two laptops, two iPhones, Mr Clur’s wallet, a hunting rifle, shotgun and ammunition after which they fled the scene. He was rushed to Mediclinic Nelspruit with a Securicon ambulance, but died yesterday. Meanwhile, the suspects were being tracked by members of the police’s Crime Intelligence Gathering Unit, accompanied WO Jacques Nel and farmers Mr Nico Nel, Mr Riaan Lombaard and Mr Frans Ment. They were parked next to a railway line under the bridge at the Marloth Park crossing when two men approached. WO Nel identified himself to the suspects and ordered them to stop. One of them pointed a shotgun at Nel and the farmers. Nel and two of the farmers shot at them and both were killed. Two firearms, including a .38 revolver and a shotgun were found on the suspects. Detective commander Capt Louis Stander confirmed that they were investigating the possibility that the suspects might have been responsible for an attempted hijacking earlier at 19:40. The victim, Mr Colly Magagula of Vosloorus, was in a truck on the N4, preparing for a journey to Steelpoort, when three men appeared at the driver’s side. One of the suspects was armed with a pistol, the other with a knife. The third suspect was standing at the back and wasn’t visible to Magagula. He said the one with the firearm opened the driver’s side and tried to climb into the truck. He demanded money, but Magagula pushed him down with the door and jumped out on the passenger’s side and ran to the Engen filling station for assistance. He injured his left knee in the process. Meanwhile, Mr Pieter Slabbert (51) is in a stable condition in Mediclinic Nelspruit’s high care unit where he is being treated for multiple gunshot and stab wounds. He and his family were attacked on a smallholding near Malalane on Friday afternoon. Lowvelder spoke to his wife, Ms Lizette Slabbert. According to her, she and her husband and their 22-year-old daughter were in the kitchen with the back door open at around 16:45, when two men entered the house. Slabbert said the one attacker had a 9mm pistol and the other was armed with knives. She said the men didn’t seem bothered about hiding their identities from the family as they weren’t camouflaged. They immediately started shooting at the husband while the wife and daughter ran to the other rooms. She said when the attackers got hold of her, “they kept hitting me in the face and holding the gun against my head”. Lizette stated that the men called them “white trash” and threatened to kill and eliminate them. She said they took all their phones and the laptop that was on the kitchen table. “The one attacker shot at my husband four times but only two bullets struck him. After they had shot him, they stabbed him as well.” Slabbert said she pleaded for her daughter as they were grabbing her by the hair, threatening to kill her too. She said they finally let go of them and suddenly left. Her daughter then hid in her room in a cupboard. “She had concealed her phone and called for help.” Although still traumatised, she wanted to make sure that all the people that had helped them were thanked. “I want to say thank you to the police, Securicon Lowveld and the whole farming community who had so kindly helped us. “I also want to thank Lowveld Hospital which arranged with Mediclinic to admit my husband immediately as well as the ambulance staff,” said Lizette. Mediclinic Nelspruit spokesman, Ms Lisa Pillay, confirmed that the vicitm was in a stable condition. Mpumalanga police spokesman, Sgt Gerald Sedibe, said a case of house robbery and attempted murder had been opened. “The police did a sweep of the area and the nearby sugar-cane fields and found three laptops and clothes. We are still investigating who they belong to as not all of the items came from the Slabberts’ home.” Sedibe said no suspects had yet been arrested and anyone with information should contact the investigating officer, Lt Pat Banda on 082-449-0291. http://lowvelder.co.za/48833/man-shot-then-viciously-stabbed/

Genocide indicator : White Homeless left with nothing but the clothes on their backs accuse cops of taking cash

Homeless accuse cops of taking cash February 13 2015 at 10:42am Durban - Several homeless men and women have been left with nothing but the clothes on their backs after the confiscation and disposal of their belongings – including cash. Edmund Ellis, who sleeps in Masonic Road, with six others, including friends Jan Diedericks and Nick van Veen, said they had not experienced anything similar before. They started sleeping in the area near the Addington Anglican Christ Church almost two months ago. “We’ve never had any trouble with anyone, including the other people who sleep here. We keep to ourselves,” he said. Ellis said a metro police vehicle and a municipal garbage compactor had stopped in the small avenue on Monday and their possessions were taken. “They didn’t even ask. They just pulled the bedding out from under us.” He said they normally kept their belongings and valuables in their bags and backpacks but transferred the small amounts of money and cellphones into their pillow cases to prevent theft during the night. “Nick had R300, Jan had R500 and I had R450. We were doing odd jobs and begging to scrape that together so we could try to rent a place. “Now hope of that is all gone,” he said. Van Veen, who has a 3-year-old son, said he could not understand why they had been targeted. “We don’t want any trouble,” he said. The group had also hidden their blood pressure and epilepsy medication, obtained from King Dinuzulu Hospital, in their bedding. “It’s all gone now and we need it. These are serious medical conditions,” he said. Diedericks said the men in the vehicles had not been wearing uniforms. “We were not charged with anything and were told we could not open a case. That makes no sense.” Metro police spokesman, Senior Superintendent Eugene Msomi, told the Daily News he would have to question the officers on duty that night to find out what happened. “What normally happens during these sweeps along the beachfront is that we enlist the help of other departments like Durban Solid Waste to help get rid of things that are blocking the roadway.” He explained that the pavement was part of the roadway and sleeping on it was a violation of by-laws. When asked about the money and belongings taken and disposed of, Msomi said he doubted “very much” that the group had any valuables. http://www.iol.co.za/dailynews/news/homeless-accuse-cops-of-taking-cash-1.1817634

Afrikaner homelessness, poverty: Destitute, homeless Putter couple and son, 7, on the road, walking to Pretoria since 1 January 2015... without food, money or even a cellphone to call for help -- BLOEMHOF, Free State - Marna Blignaut issued a call for help on the Boere Krisis Aksie groep on Facebook, writing: 15 February 2015: "Dear Lord please have pity on our Nation. I was walking to Spar just now with my neighbour here in Bloemhof. Next to the Star at the Engen garage there were these sun-burnt, rejected dad, mom and their seven-year old little son. It felt as if my heart was torn from my chest when I saw the desperation in the eyes of the parents. I bought chips and a cooldrink for little Marius and talked to the parents about their plight. They have been on the road with their son from the start of February, walking to Pretoria. They have a bag with clothes with them and have no money, no food and no cellphone. I am fixing food for them now and will also five them water and fruit juice. I live with my 12-year-old son in a one-roomed flat and no room to put up this family. Is there anybody who can help them? Perhaps a ride to Kleinfontein - they are terrified that their child will be taken away from them. I can be contacted at 0612638494. I contacted our local help society but the man who runs it is gone this weekend. They are called Marius Putter, his wife Cecelia and little Marius. 15 February 2015. - After the report was posted on the widely read Boere Krisis Aksie group on Facebook, there was overwhelming response leading to the Bloemhof community standing together to provide a safe haven and hot baths for the family. https://www.facebook.com/boerekrisisaksie/photos/a.178568022169751.48293.116298045063416/1089287301097814/?type=1&theater

Sy het gespartel en gesoebat dat hulle haar nie moet doodmaak nie. Sy het in Sesotho met die twee mans gepraat en vir hulle geld aangebied, het regter Corné van Zyl uit die twee moordenaars se monde gehoor. Sy het Zuma Sekhonyane (35) en Mohau Leseha (24) albei aan die moord en die rooftog op die 71-jarige weduwee die nag van 5 September 2013 skuldig bevind. Sekhonyane is ook aan die onwettige besit van Du Bruyn se geroofde vuurwapen en ammunisie skuldig bevind. Die twee word aanstaande Vrydag gevonnis. Leseha het ter strafversagting getuig hoe hulle in die donker gestaan het toe Du Bruyn by haar agterdeur uitkom. Toe sy hulle sien, het sy probeer om terug in die huis te kom, maar hulle het haar ingehardloop en toe Sekho­nyane haar gryp, het sy by die agterdeur geval. Sekhonyane het haar mond met sy hand toegedruk terwyl Leseha haar voete met haar ja­pongordel en haar hande met haar voorskoot vasgebind het. Sy het gespartel en probeer loskom. “Sy het geskop, daarom het ek gesukkel om haar bene vas te maak.” Hy het getuig: “Sy het gevra ons moet haar nie doodmaak nie. Sy het gesê sy sal vir ons geld gee.” Sekhonyane het ’n sokkie in haar mond gedruk en dit met ’n sykous vasgebind. Leseha het getuig hulle het haar van die kombuis na die huis se gang gedra. In haar slaapkamer was die twee kluise oop. Hy het nie geld daarin gekry nie. In ’n laai het hy ’n koevert met R350 in gekry. Hy het dit in ’n rooi handsak gesit. Toe hy weer by haar kom, het hy gesien sy haal nie meer asem nie. Hy het sowat vyf minute vir haar gekyk. Toe sê hy hulle moet gaan. Adv. Amanda Bester, vir die staat, het aan hom gestel dat hulle haar opsetlik doodgemaak het omdat hulle nie maskers gedra het nie. Leseha: “Ja, sy sou ons later herken het, as sy ons weer sou sien. Ek het nie eens daaraan gedink om haar dood te maak nie.” Adv. Oupa Makhene tree vir Sekhonyane op en Masilo Koenane vir Leseha. https://www.facebook.com/boerekrisisaksie?fref=photo

Survives attack, 'Treurgrond' farm-attack movie farm attacked by six black gunmen who hold Markus Schenker, 52 hostage

Farm used in movie 'Treurgrond' about the farm-murders in South Africa attacked by six-member armed black gang: It was reported on February 15 2015 from Tarlton west of Johannesburg that the farm belonging to 76-year-old Piet Schutte, who lives on his farm Churisuél, was attacked by six black gunmen who held his son-in-law Markus schenker, 52 at gunpoint. Since Schutte's cattle is being rustled at such a high rate and his farm has been attacked at least eight times - the previous time he had chased off a gang of gunmen in November -- that he doesn't bother to run cattle any more, Schutte and partner Markus Schenker 52 now run a nots-and-bolts store on the farm and deliver them to customers. Schenker is Schutte's son-in-law and and the store headquarters- which sells and delivers bolts and nuts - was attacked and Schutte was held at gunpoint. Schenker said luckily Mr Schutte wasn't there when the store was attacked. "I had driven in and went to the store to upload another order om my bakkie and there they were in the house, tossing around contents from cupboards and so on. That's why I didn't see them when I drove in. I was looking into the barrels of revolvers and pistols and certainly couldn't remember the faces staring at me.' The six gunmen pulled off Mr Schenker's shoes, tied up his hands and feet and dragged him to the homestead. They had been busy carving the company's safe with a grinder from the wall, said Schenker. They stole the keys to his bakkie, his watch and some R3000 in cash and then tossed him down underneath a pile of blankets. The bakkie wasn't 'robbed'- it was abandoned after they used it to transport the safe to their own vehicle. Schutte said if he'd been there he would have been dead, because back in November last year he personally drove off a large gang from his farm. He's walking barefoot all the time and next to his shorts he has a 9mm pistol strapped to his side. "Last time they only stole my computer but this time they wanted me, that's why there were more of them. You know I'm not as calm as Markus. I would have kicked one of them in the goolies or something. Then he would most certainly have shot me.' He no longer farms with livestock. 'Too much of my cattle and sheep have already been rustled here'. Chrisuél has already been used eight times in advertisements and movies: Scenes from the Afrikaans movie 'The ballad of Robbie de Wee" were also filmed there. Treurgrond's reportedly gruesome opening scenes were fiomed at his farm: the film, released in May this year, sets to theme of the story by showing the bodies - or rather the body parts - of an elderly Afrikaner farm couple strewn inside the homestead after the farmers were murdered. The leading roles are played by well-known Afrikaans singer/actor Steve Hofmeyr and actress Jana Strydom plays the role of a detective who is investigating the murder. https://www.facebook.com/boerekrisisaksie?fref=photo

Manager of Spar store rushes shoppers to safety when blacks with AK47s storm cash-transit van outside his Spar supermarket, Valhalla, Pretoria, South Africa 15 February 2015 - Valhalla shoppers called for help while hiding out in a Spar storeroom while three armed men robbed cash-in-transit guards outside the supermarket on Sunday. Eyewitness Samantha Hewitt said she was at the entrance of the supermarket when she saw an armed man tussle with the guard. “I saw the robber fighting with the guard for the cash. The robber then fired shots at the guard but he wasn’t injured,” she told Rekord. Hewitt said the shop was closed immediately and shoppers were rushed upstairs to the storeroom for safety. Another witness, Natalie Du Plessis, said she was in the shop with her family when she heard gunshots and people yelling. “I heard an AK47 release four or five shots. The Spar doors slammed and the manager warned us we will be shot and we went to the storeroom and started calling and SMSing for help,” she said. Du Plessis said shoppers remained locked in the storeroom while the armed men proceeded to rob the liquor store next door. According to Hewitt and Du Plessis, the armed men fled in the cash-in-transit van. “They used the cash-in-transit van as their getaway car and even bumped into another car in the parking lot,” Hewitt said. Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Wanda Olivier said the robbers fled in a white Audi. “It is alleged the cash-in-transit guards were approached by three armed suspects in the parking area. They fled in a white Audi with an undisclosed amount of money. Nobody was injured,” she said. Olivier said a case of armed robbery was investigated. https://www.facebook.com/boerekrisisaksie/photos/a.178568022169751.48293.116298045063416/1089979891028555/?type=1&theater

Randburg Police charged with assault of epileptic woman Lana Stander

Randburg Police charged with assault KENSINGTON B – Randburg Police now have charges laid against them, after a woman's Valentine’s Day ordeal. Nicholas Zaal 16 February 2015 12:00 According to Lana Stander and witnesses who submitted statements, four Randburg Police officers assaulted her while she was awake and more did so while she was unconscious. She was dumped in the back of a police van and when she suffered an epileptic attack, two witnesses later stated that she had been dragged from the van and onto the ground while the cops were dancing a victory dance (toyi-toyi) around her, laughing and insulting her while she desperately needed help. She suffered two epileptic attacks but the police did not help her. In a dramatic turnaround, the State has withheld its decision to charge Stander with driving under the influence (she had tested negative for alcohol in her blood), and reckless and negligent driving, after she laid charges against National Police Commissioner General Riah Phiyega for theft and assault by Randburg Police officers after the arrest, and revealed medical evidence that she was sober. Stander was falsely arrested on 14 February after a car hit her. She was tested negative for blood-alcohol but the cops still arrested her. She was roughly handled. The epilepsy sufferer had an epileptic attack. The handcuffed woman was was driven to a site where they beat and kicked her. She wrote on her own facebook page with accompanying pictures that she was bruised and scarred from their assaults. “When on of the police officers attempted to hit me again I defended myself by hitting her with the handcuffs and so blocking another attack,” she said. The officers then drove her to Randburg Police Station and left her in the back of the van while they slept in the front seats. After they allegedly threatened her again, Stander had another seizure. She claims that although she was unconscious, two witnesses can verify that the officers dragged her out the van and danced around her. Stander was taken to the holding cells at the station, where she was allegedly denied a phone call, and told that she could not take medication for her condition because she was drunk. When she was finally released, her friend Bernhard Bekker helped her lay the charges at Linden Police Station. Bekker said at court that 14 of Stander’s human rights were violated, ranging from brutal assault and torture to refusing medication for an illness such as epilepsy. They said that they will also lay civil charges for these. Rand Randburg Police Warrant Officer Johannes Maja was contacted and comment is awaited.

Dropping food-production and 300 job losses: Four commercial farmers including Johan Ligthelm and Anton Coetzee, warned the ANC-run municipality of Middelburg Mpumalanga in advance not to build a new township on a farm they had bought - and which is surrounded by their four productive farms: Now the production of four farms are being steadily destroyed and Africa's largest peach-orchard, Ligthelm's Peach Orchards, no longer produce any peaches for the commercial market. Last year's crop went into the bellies of Somalela township residents who even stole his new saplings and replanted them in their own front gardens... http://mobserver.co.za/25131/boere-het-gewaarsku-2/ The organised criminal gangs in the new township of Somapepa - where a drugs-problem is also being reported - have been looting their crops and livestock at such a steady pace that there was no commercial peach-production from Johan Ligthelm's farm last year - not one peach from his crop was sold on the commercial market. "It's over, only a miracle can still save us,' he said. --------------------------- From 98 years ago, Jan Ligthelm's grandparents and parents developed the 500-hectare Ligthelm Peach Orchards in Middelburg - now this third-generation peach farm has been destroyed by criminal gangs: Speaking to Middelburg Observer journalist Daleen Naudé, he shows one of the deep holes dug beneath the fences which surround his peach orchards.He's given up peach farming: last year's crop, costing R4,5m in wages to harvest and maintain the trees, was completely looted: his cattle now eat the peaches from the neglected trees. This orchard was the largest in Africa and produced tons of peaches each year. http://mobserver.co.za/25127/grootste-boord-afrika-vernietig -- Headline in Middelburg Observer by Daleen Naude: "Grootste boord in Afrika vernietig" ------------------ South Africa used to export huge quantities of dried and canned peaches and the Ligthelm peaches were popular with South African consumers. Now, the owner of what was Africa's largest peach-orchard, Johan Ligthelm, told the local Middelburg Observer that criminals have managed to destroy his farm completely over the past three years. And he and his family also are living under constant threat of being murdered by the gangs from the new Somapepa township next door - who want the 500-hectare peach-orchard land to graze their cattle on. The township residents also looted his newly-planted saplings and replanted them in their own front gardens... last year he didn't sell one peach: suffering R5,4million losses paid out in wages and investing in saplings, he said. The Production of 4 productive farms in the Middelburg area are thus being destroyed by crime-gangs, wrote Daleen Naudé in the Middelburg Observer. (Original articles are in Afrikaans. We translated them to English) By Daleen Naude -- 16 February 2015 Owner Johan Ligthelm of Ligthelm Peach Orchards shows one of the many holes in the fencing dug by organised gangs of peach-thieves from the new Somapepa township next door. They have destroyed the farm completely because they stole their income: their harvests. Now the thugs crawl beneath the fences to come and steal the peaches rotting on the trees."The LIgthelm peaches disappeared because the municipality built a black township right next the largest peach-farm in Africa,' he said.He's tired of trying to catch thieves crawling through the holes in the fences dragging crates of peaches with them.Thieves cut the cables and steal his farm-implements, and plundered his store. Thieves who even dug up the new trees and planted them in their own front gardens next door'. And he's tired of living in constant fear from the criminal gangs next door: "I am their target and once they've killed me off, they will also have 500 hectares of land for their cattle. It's a constant daily battle. Every morning when we wake up things have been stolen.He took journalist Daleen Naude through his orchards, telling how his grandparents started the farm 98 years ago. He was paid 10 shillings for the very first crate of peaches he had harvested from his first Alberta peach-tree as a ten-year-old, he said. Everything is being looted ever since the municipality decided to build the large township right in the middle of commercial farms. The looting and destruction started three years ago - but this past year was the worst. "The thieves just come in with the pickers and when they are caught, they jump right across an eight-foot-deep hole they'd dug underneath the fencing and run off - or flee in a taxi. They also start picking before daylight and manage to pack 18 bags of peaches into a taxi which always waits for them next to the road,' said Ligthelm. After he suffered R5,4million losses from the peach-looting he decided that he wasn't going to harvest any peaches any more. "I wasn't going to waste money to pay workers to keep the trees trimmed and thinned out and just put the cattle in the orchards to eat the peaches from the trees. My livestock is fattening up nicely,' he said. Ligthelm: "I am now contributing unwittingly to an approaching famine (when all the commercial farms are gone): 300 people now don't have seasonable jobs'. He only has a few fulltime farm workers looking after the animals in the orchards. Due to the constant danger of armed farm attackers who want to kill him, Mr LIgthelm bought horses for the herders to guard the cattle. He said he doesn't believe he will ever be able to sell peaches on the market again - and to start somewhere else all over again will cost about R50-million - because that's the value of this developed farm you see here in front of you,' he told journalist Daleen Naude. He said he spent 16 months working 16 hours a day to build the water-storage dam on the property, for instance. "My hands have been cut off: we can't celebrate our 100th anniversary of Ligthelm Orchards here. We will never be able to trade in peaches here again and now just stay here in our own prison. The LIgthelm Peach Orchards are destroyed. It's over. Just a miracle could still save us.' http://mobserver.co.za/25127/grootste-boord-afrika-vernietig

Illegal arrests of 2 Afrikaners: Juandré Rautenbach and Stephen Barnard of Nelspruit Concerned Citizens dumped in police holding cells while trying to subdue a drunken driver: Nelspruit: 31 January 2015 -- Two members of the Nelspruit Concerned Citizens (NCC) recently ended up in Nelspruit (the ANC-name is Mbombela) SAPS’ holding cells. According to Mr Juandre Rautenbach and Mr Stephen Barnard, they were unlawfully arrested by the police. Rautenbach says the incident occurred in Riverside on the morning of January 31. “We were informed of a VW Caddy being driven recklessly along the road between Kaapsehoop and Mbombela. The driver was apprehended at Emnotweni Casino.” At that point, Barnard was trying to subdue the driver of the Caddy by using his full body weight as the suspect was very aggressive. “I tried to calm him down, which resulted in death threats being aimed at me. He reeked of alcohol,” Rautenbach says. “After a while, Stephen released the suspect, who punched me in the ribs. He verbally threatened to kill me as well. I reacted by pushing him away from me. The SAPS arrived on the scene and the suspect told them that we launched a racially motivated assault on him, which we denied as it is untrue.” All parties were instructed to proceed to the police station. According to Rautenbach, the policeman, a constable Maseko, informed him, the driver of the Caddy, his passenger and Barnard that they were being charged. “I asked him what the charge was and he said that I was resisting arrest by asking that question. I asked whether I could contact my lawyer. ‘You are resisting arrest,’ he said. I kept quiet and followed the constable.” He then completed documents and instructed the suspects to sign them. “When I asked him what the documents were, he said that it is just a procedural step and that I must sign the papers. On further inspection I saw that these declarations acknowledged that the person who sign them has been read his rights. I was not willing to sign the document as this was not the case.” The policeman told them that the Afrikaner men ' had been resisting arrest" and unfortunately Barnard and Rautenbach signed these documents. Afterwards they learnt that they had been charged with assault with the intent to inflict grievous bodily harm. They were locked in a holding cell. Rautenbach was offered the chance to speak to his attorney, Mr Schalk de Waal. Barnard and Rautenbach were released on the same day and appeared in court on February 2. They will be back in court on February 24. The drunken driver was charged with reckless and negligent driving. Sgt Gerald Sedibe, provincial spokesman of the SAPS, confirmed that two cases had been opened. “The incident as a whole is under investigation by the provincial police and has been transferred to the detectives.” Photo: Juandre Rautenbach https://www.facebook.com/boerekrisisaksie/photos/a.178568022169751.48293.116298045063416/1091191297574081/?type=1&theater

SouthAfrica Warning from concerned citizen in EastLondon: Elderly white man viciously attacked on Gulu Beach at the river estuary - police are looking for his bakkie: Bantam Bakkie, white with black fishing rod roof racks, reg. no. DNX194EC. Do NOT go to that beach alone! ----------------------------- February 17 2015 - Boere Krisis Aksie: "This elderly gentleman who resides at Gulu went to Gulu Mouth this afternoon to simply look at the sea. This is what happened to him. He was attacked by three black 'youths' armed with bricks and knives. He fought back and stabbed one in the head. They stole his bakkie and his wallet and all his keys. We suspect his left arm is broken (smashed by a brick) and he was also smashed on the head with a brick between 3-5 times. He has severe lacerations and is in terrible pain. Fortunately he was not stabbed in his upper body. He had to walk back to Aqualea, at Gulu all the way from the mouth in this condition. No-one stopped to help him. I rushed him to St Dominics Hospital. He may have to go for a CT scan to check his skull. He handled it very well, he was very brave and was completely awake and aware of what was happening around him. We are looking for his bakkie. It is a Bantam Bakkie, white with black fishing rod roof racks, reg. no. DNX194EC. Please share the hell out of this post. He is currently at St Dominics Hospital and all we can do is hope that he will be ok. A life-changing experience for everyone involved. DO NOT GO TO GULU BEACH ON YOUR OWN. SIMPLY DO NOT. I want to set up a group on FB and on Whatsapp so we can arrange group beach walks. There is safety in numbers. Again, please share this post. I believe, with the power of FB we can catch these .... https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetruthaboutsouthafrica/ https://www.facebook.com/boerekrisisaksie/photos/pcb.1091221417571069/1091220544237823/?type=1&theater
