. detective-warrant-officer Strydom was shot dead while trying to arrest white fraud-suspect Hendrik Wright in Montana Park, Sinoville)
=================================
Murdered Afrikaner police officer buried on 31 July 2014: funeral for warrant officer Ben Strydom, 47 a detective from the Sinoville Pretoria police station, was shot dead on July 23 2014 when he attempted to arrest a white man, Hendrik Wright, 65 head of a travel-agency, for defrauding pensioners in an elaborate scheme.

Ao. Ben Strydom (47), ʼn speurder van die Sinoville-polisiestasie in Pretoria wat doodgeskiet is toe hy ʼn man in verband met ʼn vakansieslenter in hegtenis wou neem, word vandag begrawe.
SAPS det-w/o Ben Strydom, 47, was shot dead in Montanapark, Sinoville Pretoria when he was trying to arrest accused holiday-fraudster Hendrik Wright, 65, his wife Renette 47 and their secretary Salome Klopper, 54. The threesome stands accused of defrauding pensioners through their tourism-company.
w.o. Strydom was shot dead by Hendrik Wright who then tried to commit suicide by fleeing in his car near the Moloto road and shooting himself with his gun. Renette and Klopper were arrested and appeared last week in Pretoria North magistrate's court on murder-charges and for fraud. Hendrik was not in court because he is under treatment at the Johannesburg General Hospital's intensive care unit and under police guard. Magistrate Pierre Wessels postpooned the case to August 4.

===============
Also: tour operator Hendrik Knight, 65, in a serious condition in Johannesburg hospital after trying to kill himself after shooting dead police officer Ben Strydom:
Renette, the wife of fraud-accused traintour-operator Hendrik Wright, 65, and his secretary Salome Klopper appeared in Johannesburg North magistrate's court for fraud.
Magistrate Pierre Wessels granted bail to secretary Klopper. Mrs Wright's bail application was postponed to Monday to verify the accuracy of the residency-address she had provided.
Wessels told Mrs Klopper that 'at this stage it's unclear whether you are involved.'
Wessels also requested a doctor's report from the Johannesburg Hospital where Hendrik Wright was admitted for serious injuries sustained when he tried to shoot himself at his home in Montana Park.
Wright had just shot dead detective warrant-officer Ben Strydom, 47 while the policeman tried to arrest him for the allegedly elaborate fraud scheme in which they defrauded mostly pensioners.
There had been information that the Wright couple - who run the Zambesi Tours & Safaris - also had businesses in Namibia and were trying to flee the country.
SAPS constabe John Ramollo testified at the two women's bail application that Strydom's investigation had brought to light that the company would arrange tours - and then cancel them a week before the departure date.
The clients' money was not refunded. Ramollo said it was mostly pensioners who were being defrauded.
He opposed bail for Mrs Wright - and for Mr Wright if he's well enough to appear in court - because they pose a flight risk.
"They have businesses in Namibia and this should be taken in account when they apply for bail'.
When making arrests, police had found passports in one of their cars.

Femicide verified: White women in South Africa áre more likely to be murdered by unknown black males than by their intimate partners
White women in South Africa áre more likely to be murdered by unknown black males than by their own partners: Kevin King reports
Complaint at SA Human Rights Commission:
"demonising white males by SA government agency AfriCheck claiming that white women are more likely to be murdered by their intimate partners than by unknown black males.
The faults in AfriCheck's claimed 'statistics' in regards to their above claim has now been proven by Kevin King, who crunched the numbers.
STEVE HOFMEYR AND SUNETTE BRIDGES ARE CORRECT TO CLAIM FEMICIDE OF WHITE FEMALES BY BLACK MALES IN SOUTH AFRICA:
He concluded that it is accurate to say that white women in South Africa are more likely to be murdered by unknown black males than by their own partners.'
-- "In April of this year, Steve Hofmeyr, Sunette Bridges and the Freedom Front Plus laid a complaint of hate speech with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) against Africa Check
, who published an article titled “Racial scare-mongering in South Africa makes light of women’s murders” along with the author of the article and members of the Medical Research Council. Hofmeyr and company claim that the statement “the majority of white women are murdered by their white male partners” made in the article amounts to hate speech against white men. Even though the SAHRC rejected the claim, being a white male myself, this affected me so I took interest. The reason for this letter is solely in response to the statement.
Africa Check articles
Last year an article appeared on Africa Check titled “Racial scare-mongering in South Africa makes light of women’s murders”. The article touches on femicide in South Africa, intimate femicide in particular, but is mostly in response to Steve Hofmeyr’s claim that “white women are likely to be murdered by "unknown black males". A number of other articles have been written, knocking down Hofmeyr’s claim, notably an article posting on the Mail & Guardian’s Thought Leader website titled “The uncomfortable truth about white masculinity” and another Africa Check article titled “Dodgy stats just a means to an end for Hofmeyr, Bridges”.
The aforementioned Africa Check articles place a substantial emphasis on the “dodgy stats” of Hofmeyr and Bridges, knowing full well that these two activists are not masters in statistics. Steve even admits he’s “no statistician”. They mention the flaws in the “scientific method”, “duplicates”, sampling process, questioned the authenticity of data, sources and the completeness of the data. But this is where Africa Check’s argument becomes flawed…
· The original proposition in this case is Hofmeyr’s claim that “white women are likely to be murdered by "unknown black males"”.
· Africa Check replaces this proposition with a new proposition, “standing up a straw man”, namely Hofmeyr’s statistics which he uses to back up his original proposition.
· Africa Check then defeats the false argument, “knocks down a straw man”, by proving his stats to be incorrect due to flawed statistical methodology.
· The illusion is created that Hofmeyr’s original proposition has been defeated.
A genuine attempt to prove his original proposition incorrect would have been to provide their own detailed statistics but instead, Africa Check’s main strategy has been to“attack the straw man”, playing the man and not the ball, disputing the character and backgrounds of Hofmeyr and Bridges and their statistical ability. Quoting insults on Facebook and Twitter by supporters of Hofmeyr and Bridges also doesn’t count as winning the argument.
In the Africa Check article in question, the author makes reference to research done by the MRC. These reports done in 1999 (data collected in 2002 and 2003) and 2009 provide the detailed statistics regarding femicide (intimate and non-intimate for women 14 and over) that Africa Check would need to take down Hofmeyr and Bridges.
The key finding which she does disclose is: “Non-intimate female homicides [non-intimate femicide or NIF] declined from 8.6 per 100,000 in 1999 to 4.2 per 100,000 in 2009, while intimate femicides [IF] declined from 8.8 per 100,000 to 5.6 per 100,000”. As one can see the ratio of IF:NIF was 8.8:8.6 and 5.6:4.2 in 1999 and 2009 respectively meaning that the majority of women are killed by their partners. She rightfully makes the statement: “Although the decline in non-intimate homicide is statistically significant, that for intimate femicide is not. In other words, over the decade, there was a real decrease in the number of women killed by strangers, family members, friends and acquaintances but no significant decrease in the number of women killed by their husbands, lovers and boy-friends. As a result, by 2009, intimate femicide had become the leading cause of female homicide in South Africa”. But then near the end of her article she reiterates the statement that resulted in Hofmeyr’s SAHRC complaint: “Hofmeyr and Bridges’ claims therefore cast no doubt on the research showing the majority of women to be murdered by their intimate partners and, by extension, that the majority of white women are murdered by their white male partners”.
Medical Research Council (MRC) findings
In 1999, 8.8 per 100,000 women 14 and older were killed by an intimate partner. This compared to 8.6 per 100,000 for non-intimate femicide. This means that slightly over half of femicide in 1999 was committed by intimate partners. Then there is the rest of the report, most of which is not mentioned at all in the articles I’ve mentioned above. Before continuing I’d like to add that Africa Check, which makes reference to these MRC reports, describes the reports as “real, peer-reviewed, scientific research”. So here are the findings:
Intimate Femicide (per 100,000) by victim’s racial group
· African – 8.8 (5.7 in 2009)
· Coloured – 18.3 (10.1 in 2009)
· Indian – 4.9 (3.5 in 2009)
· White – 2.8 (1.5 in 2009)
Non-Intimate Femicide (“Murder by OTHERS”) (per 100,000) by victim’s racial group
· African – 8.4
· Coloured – 13.8
· Indian – 3.0
· White – 5.8
By applying very basic maths, the ratio for IF/NIF for whites is 2.8:5.8 compared to the ratio of 8.8:8.6 across all races. Thus if 100 white women were murdered, 33 were at the hands of their partners (presumably white men) while the other 67 were at the hands of “OTHERS”. This alone supports Hofmeyr’s statement. The question now is: who were these “OTHERS”? Fortunately for us the MRC report gives us more:
Perpetrator race by type of homicide for Non-Intimate Femicide:
· African – 68.3%
· Coloured – 13.2%
· Indian – 0.3%
· White – 2.6%
· Other – 15.6%
Using a reasonable assumption, the unidentified perpetrators are allocated to the races based on the ratio of Non-Intimate Femicide committed by each race:
Perpetrator race by type of homicide for Non-Intimate Femicide (adjusted, rounded):
· African – 80.9%
· Coloured – 15.6%
· Indian – 0.35%
· White – 3.1%
These figures, which closely correspond with prison demographics, now allows us to work out who commits Non-Intimate Femicide, this is the “OTHERS” referred to earlier. Continuing with my example, the remaining 67 of the white women murdered were murdered by the following race groups:
· 54 by Africans
· 10 by Coloureds
· 0 by Indians
· 2 by Whites
IN SUMMARY: KEVIN KING'S FINDINGS WERE:
In summary: Approximately 67% of white women (14 and over) were murdered by perpetrators (almost all men) who were not their partners while approximately 33% were murdered by their partners
almost all white men).
Approximately 54% were murdered by Africans (almost all black men) while approximately 35% of white women were murdered by whites (almost all white men).
--- This SUPPORTS Hofmeyr’s claim that “white women are likely to be murdered by "unknown black males". I have no idea how Africa Check missed this or maybe they didn’t read the entire report in the first place.
Of course the first report was done 10 years ago therefore things may have changed. Unfortunately the 2009 doesn’t reveal as much detail as its predecessor but it does mention that white intimate femicide has dropped to 1.5 per 100,000. Given this and the changes in the population demographic since then, it’s highly unlikely that the situation 10 years ago will have been reversed.
The comfortable truth about white masculinity
The rate of 1.5 per 100,000 which was the rate at which white women were murdered by their partners according to the 2009 report, is the lowest rate amongst all races. I won’t touch on the rates of other races as this might amount to “racial scare-mongering”…
This equates to a figure of 30 (based on approximately 2 million white, women 14 and over, taken from the census around that time) white women murdered annually by their predominantly white partners, hardly a number that is “countless” unless you are totally incapable of counting. In fact it’s rather bizarre when referring to “countless cases of white masculinity gone wrong” and then having to use an example which happened in 2001 (Waterkloof 4).
Based on the annual rate of homicide (murder plus culpable homicide)/murder (SAPS reported) which was approximately 30,000/18,000 in 2009, between 0.1% and 0.16% of all homicides were white females (14 and over) murdered by their predominantly, white partners. While Oscar continues to get the lion’s share of media coverage it’s understandable that the perception that the rate of white intimate femicide is high, this is not reflected in the actual numbers along with a limited number of cases reflected in the media.
Crime Statistics
This whole furore could have been avoided. In a country with arguably the highest crime and murder rates in the world (over 650,000 homicides in the last 20 years) and dubbed “The rape capital of the world”, it’s inexplicable that there are no detailed crime stats being kept, or crime stats being kept but not released to the public. In any form of management, statistics are vital, yet with the management of crime in our country, they are nowhere to be found. Then it would be infinitely easier to analyse and take action from there. The question of the impact of femicide would be clear and we wouldn’t have activists having to scrounge around looking for their own stats.
Conclusion
Based on the research brought to the table by Africa Check in response to Steve Hofmeyr’s claim, is it really “fair and accurate reporting in the public interest” to say that “the majority of white women are murdered by their white, male partners”?
Yes, it’s true that we are all affected by crime and that all races perpetrate crimes including femicide. Yes, femicide is a real issue that needs attention, just like other categories of homicide such as xenophobic genocide, homicidal hate crime, farm murders and homophobic homocide. But if false statements are made against me then I take offense, just as others have clearly taken offence.

Questioned: SA Police Statistics EXCLUDE culpible Homicide from Murder stats: 650,000 homicides since 1994
Questioned: SA Police Statistics EXCLUDE Culpible Homicides from Murder stats: 650,000 homicides in South Africa since apartheid ended in 1994: 56 murders a day:
14 January 2014, 09:42 Kevin King reports
: The SAPS stats confirm that towards the end of 2014, we will have had 650,000 homicides since 1994.Here are the facts:
· SAPS reports show 392,886 (56.65 per day) murders in last the 19 years. During the 2012/2013 year they reported 16,259 (44.54 per day).
· SAPS reports show 221,273 (31.91 per day) cases of culpable homicide in the 18 years up to 2011/2012. During the 2011/2012 year they reported 11,788 (32.26 per day).
· Our homicide rate per capita is 11.5 times higher than the gun crazy USA, and we are ranked top 5 in the world under the most homicidal countries.
· In the SAPS crime report for 2012/2103, there was NO mention of culpable homicide (the killing of another human being) under “serious crimes”, “contact crimes” or anywhere in the entire report.
· Taking an estimate of the 2012/2013 cases of culpable homicide (12,300) and a forecast for the combined murders and culpable homicides in 2013/2014 (28,000), we will pass 650,000 homicides by late this year, 90 per day since 1994.
Culpable homicide
· Why remove 12,300 unlawful deaths from the crime statistics, surely this is a serious crime and should be reported directly below murder?
*(Previously culpable homicide was reported in the bottom half of the report under “negligent and ill treatment of children”)
· Why is our murder rate reported EXCLUDED CUPABLE HOMICIDE - yet are being compared to international homicide rates that INCLUDE culpable homicide?
· In our country you can be executed in your home during a robbery (eg Father Louis Blondel) and it will be recorded as culpable homicide
*This means your death will not even make it only the crime stats.
* If this was America it would be recorded as “non-negligent homicide” which together with “murder” is the reported murder rate over there. Apples with apples?
South Africans being murdered are excluded from the crime stats and the murder rate. It’s not difficult to draw conclusions from this…

Murder: Afrikaner Gideon van Zyl 53, shot in the back, killed, New Germany Nature Reserve, Hillcrest KZN
Murder: Afrikaner man Gideon van Zyl, 53, shot, killed at New Germany Nature Reserve, Hillcrest, Pinetown KZN Sun Aug 3 2014
Reported by Mariclair Smit
5 August 2014 -- "THE devastation and sorrow was clearly evident in Julie Graham’s (46) voice as she described the horror she experienced, when she witnessed her partner, Gideon van Zyl (53), being shot and killed during a hijacking in Pinetown on Sunday, 3 August.
The Hillcrest resident’s nightmare unfolded on Sunday evening at approximately 5pm, following a relaxing day at the New Germany Nature Reserve.
They had spent the day at the reserve in the company of a small child Graham had been the caretaker of for several months.
They had stopped at the property on Victory Drive to drop the child off at his home, where his mother was waiting.
The couple was later ambushed when they returned to the vehicle, which was parked in the driveway. “I had just sat down in the passenger side, when one the men approached me.
" I thought he was drunk and was trying to grab my handbag. I still remember trying to talk back. He just kept shouting, “Shut up! Shut up!”, said Graham.
She only realised what was happening when she saw a second man pointing a gun at Van Zyl, who was standing on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
“He backed away from the car and slowly started turning around, when the gunman shot him in the back. He did not resist, he did not provoke them and he did not fight back and that man still shot him,” said Graham.
Graham recalled how she desperately waited for an opportunity to rush to Van Zyl’s side. “I couldn’t get to him until they had driven off, as the gunman held the weapon pointed at me while he was trying to start the vehicle. He only momentarily pointed the gun away from me, towards the gate, when the people from inside the house ran to investigate. The man then started the vehicle and they sped off,” said Graham.
Van Zyl died on scene, despite the efforts of the Ashley Resident’s Neighbourhood Watch (ARNHW) patrollers who performed CPR and the paramedics, who provided advance life support efforts. His son as well as Graham’s two children are also devastated after the incident. ” We were a family. It still feels unreal to us all. I am completely finished and numb. I haven’t slept, because he is not here. I still cannot believe that it happened in broad daylight,” said Graham.
Justin Bosse, chairman of the ARNHW, echoed her sentiments saying, “(violent) Crime seems to be on the increase and residents need to be a lot more vigilant and observant of their surroundings, especially when driving in or out of a driveway.” Graham thanked the ARNHW, SA CAN, community members and the authorities that assisted.
Pinetown SAPS communications officer, Lt Bongumusa Manqele confirmed that police are investigating a case of murder, however, no arrests have been made at this time.
Social media messages have claimed that the vehicle was recovered in Wyebank on Monday morning, but Manqele was unable to confirm the report at the time of publication.

42 farm-murders in 158 farm-attacks since January 1 2014 to July 31 2014 - Transvaal Agricultural Union reports "atrocities, tortures are rising'
"White' South African farmers are working under even more dangerous conditions than they were last year. 42 people were murdered on farms since January 1 2014 up to and including July 31 2014 in 158 farm attacks. These attacks also show an increasing propensity towards extensive torture - even torching the victim,' warned the Transvaal Agricltural Union.
"The situation is even worse than last year," said Mr Henry Geldenhuys, deputy president of TAU SA and chairman of the Safety Committee of the Transvaal Agricultural Union of South Africa.
TAU SA released its figures on farm attacks for JULY 2014: NOTING that 42 people were murdered on farms since January 2014 and that 158 farm organized farm attacks (all by black males) were carried out.
"The atrocities accompanying these murders targetting white farmers have soared. "
The number of attacks on white-owned farms and smallholdings has increased
from 142 in the same period 2013 to 158 thus far this year up to and including July.
HORRIFIC TORTURES
"Once again cases were reported where people were tortured severely during the attacks," said Mr Geldenhuys.
"We are concerned about the fact that the country's President is abroad raising his voice on the Israel-Palestinian issue, while he keeps silent on the ongoing insecurity in his own country, and in particular on the farms, where the country's food is produced.
Government's priorities are clearly wrong by trying to get international acknowledgment while the people in his own country are neglected, " said Mr Geldenhuys.
TENSE CLIMATE WITH HATESPEECH PAMPHLETS URGING BLACKS TO KILL WHITE FARMERS DISTRIBUTED:
"The climate in the country is still tense. Pamphlets such as those(ATTACHED) who have been distributed at the Northwest University, the former Afrikaans Protestant-Christian University at Potchefstroom - with a call to kill farmers and their language.
These actions (by black racists) are creating a highly explosive climate and can lead to even more attacks on farms, while Government is silent on the matter.
Farmers increasingly have to sharpen up their security measures.
-- Farmers must respond to the attacks by terrorists against their families on their farms with "an equal amount of violence as is forced on them," said Mr Geldenhuys. http://www.tlu.co.za

Child-murders: South Africa has twice the world-average, and more children are murdered than ever before
Murdered South African children are shot, stabbed, torched, hacked with machetes, bludgeoned with knobkieries, girl-babies are abandoned and toddlers die from sexual-abuse...
South Africa has signed and ratified the African Charter for the Protection of Children - but are not fullfilling their obligation:
(pic and map) Map of African countries which have ratified the African Charter to Protect Children:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Charter_on_the_Rights_and_Welfare_of_the_Child
During 2011 and 2012, only 1,720 child-murder cases actually reached South African law courts. Many cases never are investigated after the post-mortem, reported the South African Medical Research Council: noting that 'child-murder cases following a post mortem investigation often end there -- and are not investigated by the police'.
-- While South African children already are being murdered at a rate more than twice the world's average last year, many cases never are investigated by the SA Police Service after the post-mortem findings.
-- Some of these facts were revealed on 5 August 2014 in a reply to a parliamentary question, asked by Mike Waters MP of the opposition Democratic Alliance party.
The reply revealed that the number of murder cases reported against children in the law-courts have soared.
--- In 2011/2012 bookyear a total of of 793 murder-cases were heard - last year these rose to 827.
" South African children are shot, stabbed, set alight, hacked with machetes, bludgeoned with knobkieries" (also: girl-babies are abandoned and murdered after sexual-abuse).
-- The Minister of Police, Nathi Nhleko, also shockingly revealed in his reply that these child murders were committed using firearms, knives, knobkerries, fire, machetes (*and many girl-babies were abandoned or died from sexual assault).
SAMPLED DATA FROM SAPS ONLY FROM LAW-COURT CASES
Important to note here is that ANC-minister Nhleko's sampled data only takes into consideration those child murder allegations that have actually reached the law-courts between 2011 and 2013.
MP Diane Kohler-Barnard commented that 'it is certain that there are a multitude of child murder cases that never make it to court due to bungled investigations and a generally over-stretched South African Police Service (SAPS). The true number, including those cases that aren't even reported, could be significantly higher.
In fact the South African Medical Research Council (SAHRC) has found that cases following a post mortem investigation often end there -- and do not become subject to police investigation," she said in a statement.
"It is deeply concerning that many parents have to deal with a criminal justice system that does not produce the justice they deserve. Every single one of these murders must reach a court of law and hopefully a successful conviction. We also need to improve the SAPS' ability to stop these murders from taking place.
"We will be submitting further parliamentary questions to ascertain:
-- How many of these murders resulted in successful convictions;
-- How many were acquittals; and
-- And how many never made it to court on account of lack of evidence or bungled investigations?
"We must do everything we can to stop the murders of our children and to ensure that the perpetrators are successfully prosecuted."

World Health Organization: Child-homicide rates in South Africa is more than double the world-average:
(2013) August 2 2013 SAPA and Independent Newspapers
(picture)
"South Africa's estimated rate of child homicide is more than double the global average', says a study published in the World Health Organisation's Bulletin.
State-Mortuary samples from 2009 already showed that 5.5 of every 100,000 children were murdered in South Africa (population 51million)
Pretoria - South Africa’s estimated rate of child homicide is more than double the global average, says a study published in the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Bulletin released this week.
In 2009, 5.5 among every 100 000 children under 18 were killed. This was double the WHO estimate of 2.4 murders among every 100 000 children, but closer to the rate in other sub-Saharan countries.
The samples were from South Africa’s state-run mortuaries between January and December 2009. The WHO conducted a retrospective study of female and child homicide cases.
“The epidemiology of child homicides in South Africa” is the first such study in South Africa. Most of the 1,018 children killed in 2009 were boys.
-- The authors also said "South Africa was in desperate need of policies that adequately addressed the problem of male teenage violence.
"The most used murder-methods killing South African children were stabbing, bashing with knobkieries, slashing to death with machetes, and among girls: infant abandonment.
And many of the child murders 'involved sexual assault" (*and baby-rape).

Ethnic Cleansing: 122 Afrikaner families forcibly removed to rubbish-dump at crime-ridden black township of Muncieville
Cruel court order forcibly removes 300 homeless Afrikaners to a rubbish-tip without clean water or schools - in high-crime Muncieville where they are threatened with rape and murder…

=========================
What the court-order entails is that 122 very poor white families with an average monthly income of R300 from private donors, and without transport, will have to move with their 74 children and 24 elderly, first watching their well-built shacks being demolished -- and upon arrival have to raise corrugated iron shacks overnight at a trash-dump in Muncieville, where there is no running water, no electricity nor any safety for the group.
To add insult to injury, this highly vulnerable group of Afrikaners must be moved by December 16 – renamed to “Reconciliation Day,’ under the ANC-regime but which the Afrikaners however commemorate as the Day of the Vow:
The Krugersdorp News interviewed the group shortly after they got the news of the shock-court order and their confusion, deep anger and outright fear is seen clearly on this video
http://youtu.be/Wzj1CliwNvo
These 122 Afrikaner families which have fought since 2009 to try and stay together as a cultural Afrikaans community, now are being forcibly removed. The ANC-regime now is going to force these Afrikaners to go and live on a rubbish-tip at the high-crime black squatter camp of Muncieville.
Importantly, as has happened before at other forced removals of whites into black townships, the black residents of Muncieville also are ‘not pleased’ and have been threatening the Afrikaners with murder and issueing threats that their 'women and children will be raped'. There was only one Afrikaner man seen on the video clip at Coronation Park squatter camp in Krugersdorp who said it may be a ‘good thing to be moved to Muncieville’.

The threats of murder and rape also are based on fact: many black townships like these are infamous for its 'jackrolling' youth gangs which roam the streets looking for vulnerable young girls to rape, impregnate and infect with AIDS -deliberately. They call it their ‘fun’.

Valiant, disabled gold-medalist athlete Irene van Niekerk, 16, has lived at Coronation Camp for past 7 years:
One of the residents of the Coronation Park internal refugee camp for homeless Afrikaners in Krugersdorp camp is the valiant young Afrikaner athlete Irene van Niekerk, – direct descendant of the South African boxing champion Jimmy Abbott. Irene, despite having lost 8 toes in a fire-accident, still is a star athlete at her school.
She has been interviewed often by foreign journalists and is a charming girl, a natural story-teller. Her motto is: ' never give up'.
Picture:

The Van Niekerks are the direct descendants of the Welsh goldminers who worked at the Witwatersrand mines from the 1920s and were imported by the British colonial government. Their extended family used to live at the Honeydew smallholdings near Randburg, north of Johannesburg. They have always been known as the 'ultimate survivors' who were never wealthy, but formed a tight-knit community which helped each other in their daily battle to survive their tough working-class lives. Many ‘upperclass’ Afrikaners look down on them – often deriding these less-educated Afrikaner groups with the name ‘ma-plotties’ which translates to ‘lowlife black smallholders’ -- for their survivalist, non-conformist lifestyle. It would be similarly derisive to calling white working-class people in the USA ‘trailer trash”.
News also arrives from other areas in South Africa that the ANC-government has clearly taken a high-level policy-decision to remove many of the sonamed 'poor white squatter camps' out of the public eye as much they can: the estimated 900.000 to 1million ‘poor whites’ are beginning to draw a lot of unwanted, international attention. There are ethnic-cleansing plans for 'poor whites' in other municipalities in South Africa such as Reitz in the Free State and Boksburg (below) - forcing these ethnic-Afrikaners from their life-long cultural areas into cultural groups where they are not only hated and being threatened, but their children also lose their links to their cultural heritage.
----------------------
ANC is breaking the International Genocide Convention: It is against the International Genocide Convention of the United Nations to deliberately alienate the children of cultural minorities - such as the Afrikaners - and force them to accept the culture of the majority. But that’s exactly what the ANC-regime is doing through their deliberate impoverishment of the Afrikaners – which forces them out of their own cultural backgrounds.
The sonamed whites are denied any means of survival under the Black Economic Empowerment Laws which each year bar more and more ‘whites’ (ANC-code term: “Previously Advantaged Race Group”) from formal employment.
=============================
Ablution block at Kroningspark was their lifeline: now being taken away
Yet the tough-minded Van Niekerks and the 122 families who depend on them, all managed to survive everything thus far: because they could fight it out together at the Coronation park/Kroningspark - with the local ablution block with its clean water as their lifeline to survival and staying healthy.
It is very clear that the ANC-regime is busy with a massive ethnic-cleansing campaign against the most vulnerable, poorest segment of the Afrikaner community. Exactly how how vulnerable and endangered the Afrikaners like the Van Niekerk’s extended clan have already become - read our daily updates on http://www.censorbugbear.org/farmitracker/reports
--------------------------
Following is the translated report from the Krugersdorp News:
South Gauteng (‘Transvaal’) High Court orders forced removal of 300 poor Afrikaners to a rubbish dump:
August 7 2014 - 300 poor Afrikaners -including 74 children and 24 elderly - forced to move to garbage-dump at violent-driven Muncieville squatter camp:
The Van Niekerk clan - descendants of kickboxer Jimmy Abbott - have heard in the High Court that all 122 households will have to move to the garbage-tip at Muncieville by December 16, 2014, sonamed 'Reconciliaton Day''.
The Krugersdorp ANC-officials have allocated a garbage-dump at the crime-ridden black Muncieville squatter camp where they will be given some building materials so that they can 'rebuild their community'.
-- Reported by Krugersdorp Daily newspaper Jacobus Myburgh en Amoryn Golden 7 August 2014 “What future will our people have here? We are going to die of misery (at Muncieville)', said Kroningspark resident Maryna Lin. Some of the camp-residents attended the court hearing on August 4 2014 where the unidentified judge ruled that 'all 122 households have to be moved by Reconciliation Day 16 December 2014.' The Van Niekerks have fought their legal battle since 2009 to keep their community together at Coronation Park. The local ANC-regime wants to turn the site into a R22million 'dreampark'. "We have been allocated a garbage dump at Munsieville. Give us rather another piece of land such as the Donaldson Dam near Randfontein where there are trees and playgrounds for the kids,' said George Abbott. His wife Irene said 'even that large open piece of land next to the Afrikaans High School Bastion would be suitable'. An atmosphere of fear now hangs over the camp residents. Several mentioned that Muncieville is far away from hospitals and schools, and that the white children would be at danger, having to walk long distances to school. There are no water- or toilet-facilities. What kind of future will we have there. We will die of misery.' The residents also face having to lose all their basic donations for food and clothing. George van Niekerk says he gets about R300 a month and is afraid that their donors would not want to support them at Muncieville - a place where they know they are not safe: they have received death-threats from Muncieville residents before, and threats that 'we will rape your women and children." Adri Prinsloo 54 has lived at Kroningspark for more than a year and said she'd rather to to sleep 'hungry' than dirty - there are no ablution facilities at the garbage dump where the government wants the Afrikaners to go and rebuild their shacks. The oldest resident is the (grizzled, weather-beaten) Hannelie Grouws - she's lived there for 15 years. She fears for her life and said the Muncieville squatters 'will not accept us'. "Poverty doesn't mean we aren't proud, we want to keep ourselves clean at least'.
Her biggest worry is where they will sleep the first night after their first removal. "They are breaking down your whole house here at Kroningspark and then you have to rebuild it on the dump-site at Muncieville,' she said. Residents are also expected to pay for their own transportation costs to the site - and none of them have that kind of money. Kroningspark was conveniently located at walking distance to town facilities. Some still have subsistence jobs which helps them survive nearby -- and will have to try and find the money to transport them to work somehow if they are dumped in Muncieville. Mr Van Niekerk said the 'municipality has undertaken to provide corrugated iron sheets, nails and tools to 'help them rebuild a new life’.

Confessed murder of Mrs Theresa Buys, 43, art-teacher: farm-worker confessed to motiveless murder: dumped her in Vis River
Confessed murder: East Cape Cradock police launch murder-docket into disappearance of Theresa Buys, 43, Cradock teacher: August 7 2014 - 7 August 2014 - Phillip Bruwer @Afriforum online publication Maroela Media reports:
The East Cape SAPS investigates a murder-case after the disappearance of Theresa Buys, 43, an artist and teacher of Cradock, after her mysterious disappearance on Monday after she left the Voorbereidings-school in Cradock.
The art-teacher lives alone at a rental farm: her husband and daughter live in Port Elizabeth.
"Head master Elmar Heese said the teacher was last seen after leaving school for home where she was working on projects. She was busy making decors for the school concert and was very excited about the project, he said.
The school caretaker still took material for the decor to her home earlier that afternoon, he said.
When Mrs Buys did not show up for work on Tuesday they tried raising her by cellphone -but it switched to message-mail.
"Mrs Buys is a very warmhearted person with a passion for children and animals, she is a sponsor of the Animal Welfare Assocation and has adopted many animals there, ' Mr Heese was quoted as saying,
What raised the alarm further was the fact that Mrs Buys' dog showed up at around 9h30 pm at her neighbour Paddy Greenwood's farm-house. She lives about 1km away.
Mrs Greenwood was alarmed about the fact that her dog showed up at her farm house and took the animal back to Mrs Buys' rental home.
"She noticed the house was darkened, her car was not there, and she presumed Mrs Buys must have gone to visit someone'.
Tuesday-afternoon Mrs Greenwood went with the farm-owner to Mrs Buys' home because they noticed that her animals had not been feed.
The owner unlocked the home. "The house was neat but the police were called when a large blood-puddle was found on the floor'.
Cradock SAPS discovered Mrs Buys' deserted vehicle near the Michausdal township. The police arrested a man shortly thereafter for questioning.
It is believed that the man was a worker on the farm where Mrs Buys rents a house.
SAPS captain Stefanie Smith confirmed the case to Maroela Media on Thursday. The man has been arrested for questioning but has not been charged.
The police opened a murder-dossier after the man allegedly admitted killing Mrs Buys and because forensic evidence at Mrs Buys' car linked him to the case.
The man claimed that he had thrown Mrs Buys' body into the Vis River after killing her.
Her colleagues and family were informed of this on Wednesday-evening by the police, she said.
The SAPS K9 unit has been searching at the lowwater bridge of the nearby Vis River since Wednesday-afternoon without finding the body.
The police officer said there are widespread rumours that three men may be involved in her apparently motiveless murder.
She said these rumours are 'untrue'.
They do not know whether anything is missing from her home. Mr Heese has issued a call to people to help pray for the Buys family and for the police who are investigating the case.
Anyone who may have more information which could lead to solve the case may contact the SAPS at 048 881 7118

Hatespeech Kill the Boer flyer condemned by Democratic Alliance youth-leader: lodges SAHRC complaint
Kill the Boer flyer at Potchefstroom University condemned by Democratic Alliance youth-branch leader: lodges SAHRC complaint
Yusuf Cassim says we cannot tolerate racism of any form in our country, and certainly not on our university campuses"
DA Youth lodges SAHRC complaint on NWU racism 7 August 2014 - the DA Youth will today lodge a complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission on racist pamphlets that were distributed at the University of North West.
The pamphlets in question obviously represent hate speech and an incitement to violence. It cannot be tolerated in a democratic society where the rights of all are protected. The pamphlets call on students to "Kill the Boer, Kill the Racist, Kill Afrikaans". The pamphlet can be viewed below. We condemn these hateful pamphlets and call on all NWU students to reject this nonsense. At this stage it is not clear who distributed the pamphlet and for what purpose. We are requesting that the SAHRC investigate to find out so that the responsible parties can be held to account.
We cannot tolerate racism of any form in our country, and certainly not on our university campuses. These actions are not conducive to building better race relations in South Africa.
The DA Youth will continue fighting to ensure that South Africa's university campuses are tolerant environments where mutual respect racial reconciliation is advanced. Students must be able to learn in environments where constructive engagement and cultural diversity are encouraged.

Two black gunmen killed after 6 engage 30-member farm-community Greytown KZN in gunfight on farm of Carla and Julian Chaning-Peace: farmers injured
Six black male gunmen engage THIRTY-MEMBER farm-community Greytown KZN in gunfight - responded to emergency call from farm of Carla and Julian Chaning-Pearce: two gunmen were found dead after the firefight, farmer and wife were injured but not critical:
Headline is clearly incorrect: "Farmer’s wife shoots attacker" -
7 Aug 2014 journalist The Witness: Thamsanqa Magubane
"THE wife of a Greytown farmer who was wounded by armed home invaders, struck back on Tuesday night resulting in two attackers being killed. Carla Chaning-Pearce returned fire after one of six men shot her husband, Julian, in his shoulder.
Julian's older brother Adrian also was stabbed eight times in his office two years ago after a crime-group meeting...
The gang fled from the couple’s house and one of them — who had apparently been wounded — fell into a swimming pool outside.
At this stage, it remains uncertain whether his death was caused by a gunshot or drowning. A second assailant was cornered on the property by neighbouring farmers who raced to the scene in response to a mayday call on the farm radio network. During an ensuing gun battle, the attacker was shot dead.
The hunt was continuing yesterday for the four remaining attackers.Carla Chaning-Pearce reportedly sustained a superficial gunshot wound to her right leg for which she later received medical treatment. She did not require hospitalisation.
Her husband was admitted to a private hospital in Pietermaritzburg where specialists were assessing whether or not to operate on his shoulder yesterday.When
The Witness visited the scene of the attack at CPS Seedlings, family members declined to talk about the incident, which happened at around 8.15 pm.
It was not the first time a member of the Chaning-Pearce family had been attacked.
Julian’s older brother, Adrian, was stabbed eight times in his office two years ago.
JULIAN HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A CRIME-PREVENTION MEETING...
A member of the local community who did not want to be named told The Witness Julian had just returned home from a meeting to discuss the increase of crime in the area, when he was set upon in the passage.
Carla reacted with lightning speed, grabbing her own firearm and returning fire, causing the intruders to flee.It was later discovered that the six assailants had breached an electric fence and entered the house via a window.
TWO DAUGHTERS ALSO AT HOME: SOME THIRTY FARMERS RESPONDED TO EMERGENCY CALL ....
The couple’s two daughters were reportedly at home but were not threatened.
The Witness was told that up to 30 farmers who were alerted by the mayday call, sprang into action and converged on the property within minutes to help the family.
NOTICABLE CRIME-INCREASE IN ENTIRE AREA:
The injured couple were taken to New Hanover where they were met by ER24 paramedics and taken to hospital by ambulance.
Greg Hull, president of Umvoti Agricultural Society, said this past month there has been a noticeable increase in crime in the area.
-- Another farmer who lives close by said he was with Julian just hours before the incident at the meeting about crime.
He said he too was attacked several years ago. “We have to lock up everything. They [criminals] steal everything … They trespass without fear.”
-- AT LEAST THREE ARMED ATTACKS IN THE AREA OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS:
-- Rolf Gevers, chairman of Dingwane Security, said in last two weeks there were at least three armed attacks in the area, including an attempted hijacking.

Survived: Adam80, Christine71 Willemse fight back fiercely against two armed attackers who flee empty-handed
Journalist Amelia de Ridder reports on 8 August 2014 that Adam and Christine Willemse, 80 and 71, put up such a spirited defence against two armed black attckers that the home-invaders had to flee with empty hands.
https:/www.facebook.com/BoereKrisisAksieBKA reports that the couple were attacked in broad daylight on Wednesday afternoon August 6 2014 in their home in Grace Avenue, Murrayfield.
They were assaulted at around 13h00 - the black men simply stormed in and started threatening the elderly Afrikaner couple.
Christine said 'one of the men tried to drive against me to push be down to the floor so that he could tie me up."
However I wouldn't let them pin me down, so after her fierce struggle they plucked her around and pushed her down on a chair instead. Adam was stabbed with a large screwdriver in his face and skull but he is a strong man for his age, 80, and fought back. Eventually the couple were covered up by a blanket and a towel to try and blindfold them. It's not known why black attackers so often blindfold their victims after they have already been seen, but this happens a great deal in South Africa and might have a 'cultural reason'. Chrstine also was smart: she shouted out a name as if somebody else was in the house - and that's when the blacks fled without stealing anything, if that was their intention, leaving behind a defiant old couple. "I don't think they thought that old people would put up such a fight,' said Christine. Their ordeal lasted about five minutes all told, she said. Adam required stitches to the head and skull but fortunately the screwdriver apparently did not penetrate the skull. "We are bruised and stiff but are grateful to be alive.' The attack was notified to the Silverton police station. The Murrayfield Neighbourhood Watch showed up with lightning speed after their alarm:
within just minutes, the couple said. They were very grateful.

Dehumanisation: Impoverished, homeless Afrikaner man Jaap Goosen bludgeoned with baton at #KFC Warmbaths
Impoverished homeless Afrikaner man, Jaap Goosen, bludgeoned with baton by security guard at #KentuckyFriedChicken #KFC Warmbaths, #SouthAfrica:
reports journalist Justin Steyn on 8 August 2014.
Warmbaths, South Africa. (renamed to 'BelaBela' by ANC-regime).
A Kentucky Fried Chicken customer told local journalist Justin Steyn that he saw a security guard beat up a homeless Afrikaner man on the sidewalk of KFC at Warmbaths.
The witness saw the attack against a defenceless old man on Saturday 2 August when he was buying takeaways. The eyewitness prefers to remain anonymous. The journalist photographed the bruises sustained by Goosen
and interviewed the victim.
The witness said: "I was buying lunch at KFC and a homeless man was walking on that side of the street. The man wasn't bothering any of the customers.
Suddenly the man was confronted by a security guard on duty (at KFC) which battered the defenceless man with bat - bashing him so hard that the guard's radio fell from its holster'.
I was thoroughly shocked by the incident and confronted the security guard about it,' the witness reportedly told Justin Steyn.
The female customer ws told by the guard that 'he merely shoved the bum away from the area, and that he went to fetch his baton to 'remove the man from KFC premises'.
The guard reportedly also told the victim that 'he did not assault the bum but merely pushed him off the property.'
Said the witness: "I suspect that this attacked was pre-planned'.
Jaap Goosen said he was assaulted without being asked to leave the area. "I was not approached by any of the guards - I was simply suddenly attacked
without any advance warning." He sustained injuries from the beating with the baton to his head, back and shoulders.
The witness went with Goosen to the Warmbaths police station - however was told that Goosen first had to be examined by a doctor.
The witness then drove Mr Goosen to the Warmbaths public hospital. The man was weak with hunger however and couldn't wait the long hours to be examined.
He told the journalist that 'a great fear overwhelmed him' after the beating and that he planned to try and get to Thabazimbi, as he was fearing for his life if he stayed in Warmbaths.
Willem Mostert of the KFC 's contracted security group, Bateleur Sekurity, denied that any assault took place on Goosen and that 'he was often asked to leave the premises'.
"Our guard merely asked him to leave the area," insisted . We are constantly plagued with homeless people who make a nuisance of themselves and bother customers".
There was no comment from KFC.

Survives: Afrikaner mineshift-boss Jan Swanepoel injured, cursed with racist language by AMCU unionist and Welkom official
Afrikaner mine-shiftboss Jan Swanepoel injured in black-racist attack by Welkom official and AMCU trade-unionist:
http://www.vistanews.co.za/172877/news-details/man-deur-munispale-werker-verwurg
By Alet van der Walt, VisaNews: "Was this a robbery, a black-racist attack or was Mashimong Mine shiftboss Jan Swanepoel the victim of the war between trade unions AMCU and NUM?
Photo and story by Alet van der Walt.
2014-08-07 WELKOM, South Africa. South African journalist Alet van der Walt interviewed Jan and Mariaan Swanepoel for her publication Vista after Jan Swanepoel was badly assaulted by two black males.
He was also cursed for 'white dog' and 'white pig' and the two men who had attacked him had not tried to rob him. And after he lodged charges, the public prosecutor has been strangely reticient to charge them in a court of law, she writes.
One attacker is a well-known local NUM-trade unionist and the other a municipal employee.
The Afrikaans couple now are struggling with the question whether this was just 'an ordinary robbery, a racist attack or did Jan become the victim of two warring trade unions, AMCU and NUM?"
Cursed for 'white dog', 'white pig' and the black attackers threatened to kill him: there was no attempt to rob him:
The two black males accosted Swanepoel last week at a parking lot of th ENB-building. Swanepoel said they assaulted him so badly that he has again injured the same foot which had just recovered after a mine-accident.
He was unable to return to work because of this injury and suffers another income-loss.
The two men - who are known by Swanepoel - kept cursing him for 'white dog' and 'white pig' and kept threatening to kill him. Swanepoel is involved in the trade-union activities at the mine
and does not exclude the possibility that he was caught in the crossfire between the two warring trade unions, NUM and Amcu.
He said he had just stopped at the ENB building and climbed from his car when a vehicle drove up the wrong-way of the one-way road and stopped next to him.
The two men jumped from this car after it screeched to a halt and stormed him.
They pushed him down on the ground, held him down and one of the attackers grabbed him by the throat, trying to strangle him.
Jan got loose and fled to a nearby office. While they were plucking him around they cursed him repeatedly with racist language such as 'white pig' and white dog' he said.
The men chased him into the office, plucked open the door and continued to beat and assault him, tearing his shirt from his body.
Jan sprayed the two with teargas to try and get them away from him - and only then did they stop assaulting him, he said.
What followed was even more distressing: after a bystander called the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Welkom, the Swanepoel couple went to the police station in Jan Hofmeyr Road to lodge a formal
complaint against the two men. When he arrived there he was told that the two blacks had launched a charge against Swanepoel 'for spraying them with teargas without any reasons'.
The State Prosecutor has already decided to throw out the case against Swanepoel however a date for the arraignment of his two black-racist attackers still has to be set, he said.
Welkom attorney Walter du Toit said "it appears as if everything possible is being done to stop those men from appearing in court for assaulting my client.'
He is preparing a civil case against the two attackers, whose names are known to the Vista journalist.

Report by Natalie Grobler, RekordEast 7 August 2014
An 84-yo (*white) woman of Monument Park Pretoria nearly had her ring-finger bitten off after three armed (*black) males attacked her
in her driveway at Monument Park, Pretoria on Thursday August 7 2014 and one nearly bit off her ring-finger: trying to get off her wedding band.
The victim who wants to remain anonymous had stopped at around 12h45 daytime in front of her home when three men jumped from a silver Volkswagen Polo after blocking her with their car.
Her daughter-in-law runs a kindergarden at the home. The men grabbed the lady's handbag while roughly plucking her around, said her daughter in law Hannelie Jansen.
"My mom-i9n-law's finger was injured after one of those thugs bit the ring from her finger." The elderly lady required medical treatment for the bitewounds.
The thugs jumped in their Polo and fled. The parents and children at the kindergarden had to be calmed down after witnessing the upsetting scene.
The Brooklyn SAPS could not provide further details by the time the paper went to press, writes Ms Grobler.

Afrikaner security official at Cape Town Airport Alex Bekker, 40, managed to chase an
armed attacker from his Stellenbosch home - but his wife and small kids were left badly traumatised by the ordeal, reports Afrikaans daily Die Burger on August 6 2014.

STELLENBOSCH. -Aug 10 2014 - Die Burger reports: If it hadn't been for his quick reaction to an armed attacker, Alex Bekker, 40, who works as a security official at the Cape Town Airport,
may not have survived the armed attacker storming towards him with a sharpened screwdriver, reports Afrikaans Daily die Burger from Stellenbosch near Cape Town.
He got into a struggle early on Tuesday-mornng with a man who had broken into his kitchen.
There are many 'breakins' and house robberies in the Boland region this past year, the newspaper reports.
"Earlier we reported about the Burton family who were robbed by four men on their farm Cottage Stream near Sir Lowrys Pass.
There also were numerous reports elsewhere of the four-member balliclava-gang aorund Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Helderberg and Paarl attacking farms and homes.
Bekker said he was awake at around 02h15 because he was in pain from an earlier injury to his shoulder.
"I suddenly heard a clapping nouse, jumped up and found a man with a headlamp in our kitchen: he tried to blind me with the powerful beam".
It was dark and had been raining but he saw the man's silhouette with the screwdriver in his hand. "He stormed me and tried to stab me. I realized I had to do something or I would lose my family.
With his third or third lunge towards me I managed to hit his elbow. He fell and slid down on the wet floor - then he ran out.
Bekker said the incident has left his wife and children, 7 and 9, badly traumatised.,

Aug 10 2014: Police try to identify child's burnt body
Eyewitness News JOHANNESBURG – Police are now trying to confirm if the body of a three-year-old boy found at a mine dump in Reiger Park, Boksburg is that of Curburn van Wyk.
The child was last seen playing with his brother and sister outside his parent's home on Wednesday.Earlier reports said he was seen in the company of a man known to the community.
